TOLERATION SHOULD BE
EXERCISED.
The day of the Populist party
has passed in North Carolina hut
the history of Populism may well
be studied by the politicians and
the would-be politicians of to
day.
There is no doubt that many
good men were driven into that
party by abuse. Dissatisfied
with certain features of the Demo
cratic regime, sore because of
some fancied slight, prone to
wander off after strange gods,
their defection was hastened and
aggravated by the rough criti
cism and the arbitrary treatment
of unwise Democrats.
It is to the everlasting honor
of these men that in the hour of
dafkness and peril, they returned
to the party of their first love.
Realizing the enormity of the dis
grace of negro rule, they came to
the rescue in 1900 and redeemed
the State.
History is ever repeating itself.
It is possible for the causes that
led to the land slide of 1891 to
operate in the same manner in
1904 Unwise or arbitrary treat
ment in 1902 may produce the
same disastrous result as in '91.
The negro no longer constitutes
the danger that formerly caused
white men to remain in the Demo
cratic party. It is now possible
for these men to en ertain politi
cal views antagonistic to Dem
ocracy and yet retaiu tie ir self
respect. Moreover, in so doing,
ihey can retain the respect of
their f> How-citizens.
The gratifying extent of the
victory of this year should not
warrant any person in " reading
anotle r out of the party." That
majority of 65,000 is composed
of individuals. The strength of
the rope is the strength of the
weakest strand. Thestreugth of
the Democratic party is the alle
giance of the humble voter.
Independence in politics is only
dawning in North Carolina, and
there is no party or machine that
can stay its progress.. It will
come as the logical sequence of
the adoption of the Constitu
tional amendment. It will ac
company the advanced thought
of the coming years.
HORNE S COTTON ESTIMATE.
Messrs. Ashley Horne & Son,
of Clayton, are large and exper
ienced cotton buyers and study
the cotton situation seriously.
Their close attention to the
causes that raise or lower the
price of cotton make an estimate
of the cotton crop worthy of con
sideration. Below we give their
estimate as published in yester
day's News and Observer.
"Last year our estimate on the
crop was 10,250,000 bales. The
actual crop grown was 10,552,
000, hence we were wrong in our
figures some 300,000 bales. On
the 20th of the past September
we made an estimate on the pres
ent crop of 11,250,000 bales,
which was published in 'The
Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin' of New York of
that date. At that time hardly
a bear could be found, but on the
other hand, everybody from New
A'ork to New Orleans was bullish.
Even Messrs. Buston, Ellison
and Neill had not ventured their
estimates which have lately up
i>eared with such depressing ef
fects upon the market. Know
ing so well that our figures were
bearish, we would not publish
I them h<Te, fearing the holders
| and producers of cotton would
j understand us as being against
j the good prices then ruling. Hut
I to those w ho sought our advices
i when spots were is1,' to Nt, we sug
gested selling, and as fust as pos
sihle, h Iieving and stating that
I we thought the market would
certainly go as low as 8 cents
1 and probably to 7%. The recent
, decline has put the market down
i to a lower level than even we an
j ticipated aud the prices now rul
ing, 71, to 7\, in our opinion,
very well discount everything
I bearish in the situation. <)ur es
timate on the consumption this
j season is 11,100,000 bales and
1 should we carry over next Hep.
; tember as many us000,000 bales
! it cannot be considered a burden.
Looking at the general situation
in an unbiased way we fail to see
why spot cotton should very
much longer sell for less than 8
cents. If the farmers aud hold
ers will only keep their cotton
away from the markets they
would have no trouble in requir
ing this figure. Hut if they rush
it ou the market as though there
remains hut a few days more in
which to get rid of their balance
we can but expect this present
depression to continue. The
South is in good shape financial
ly aud well able to market the
balance of the crop in a moder
ate wa<\ The mills are doing a
good business and the mill own
ers who are liberal and conserva
tive people will not mind paying
8 cents for their future needs.
"We hardly think they would
consider 8% very high next sum
mer. VVe think the cropof North
Carolina will be 600,000 bales
this year.

The Colored Baptist Convention.
The Missionary and Educa
tional Convention of the Colored
Baptists of North Carolina,which
was held here last week, closed
Sunday night with a sertnon by
Rev. P. L. Malloy, of Wilming
ton. Preacher Malloy's parting
words were: ' Send your children
to school. Our possibilities are
greater than our preparation."
Mr. N. It. Hroughton, of Ral
eigh, made an address on Sun
day School work Thursday
night. Congressman Pou, who
was |)reseat, was called on and
| made a -short talk, which was
highly appreciated. President
I Meserve, of the Shaw University,
addressed the convention Friday
! night upon the general progress
of the school work among the
colored people.
The reports showed progress
along all lines of their church
work. During the meeting the
colored people gave liberally to
to the various causes of their
convention. Wednesday night a
cash collection of $52.00 was
taken lor foreign missions.

i?Next Thursday i* the day net
.tpart by President Roosevelt
and Governor Aycock as a day
of Thanksgiving and prayer. Jn
the midst of plenty let us not for
get those around us who need
our help. There are many homes
in Johnston county who know
not what "plenty" is. Will we
forget the poor and afflicted on
this day ot National Thanks
giving?
A transient thankfulness is
enough for a transient blessing.
We can crowd into November
27th sufficient gratitude for that
one happy day. Hut to attempt
to put in twenty-four hours
1 thankfulness for the benefits of
the past year is like attempting
in one feast day to take fcod
enough to nourish one through
the remaining three huudred ami:
sixty-four days. The value of;
Thanksgiving Day is that it isi
suggestive. It opens our eyes to
our blessings. It calls upon us
; to stop doing long enough to
realize what we are getting. It
sets the pace for the year.?Hat

Ahead of His Time.
The man who takes life studious
ly laughed several times in quick
succession. The friend with him
seized his arm and exclaimed ap
l prehensively:
"What's the trouble ?"
"There's nothing wrong," was the
answer. "I was merely laughing at
all those new hats."
"But there is nothing extraordi
nary about them."
"That is how it seems to you.
But I look ahead. If they are as
; funny ten years from now as the
hats of ten years ago are today, they
will be simply excruciating. I may
not be here ten years from now, and
I don't want to miss the opportu
nity."
He laughed once more and then
relapsed into gloom.
Had Done Her Part.
Kitty had been told that the ,
thunder was the voice of "the good
man up in the sky," warning her to j
run into the house to avoid the rain, ]
and on one or two occasions she had
failed to heed the warning and suf- j
fered unpleasant consequences.
She was plr-ying out of doors one [
morning when there came a clap of
distant thunder. She dropped ev
erything and scudded into the
house, but the rain failed to come.
After waiting till she became impa
tient she went to the door, looked
up at the clouds and called out:
"If you're going to rain, why
don't you do it? I've been in here
ten minutes!"?Chicago Tribune.

Homemade Peanuts.
"Do you know that if one appre
ciates such things," observed one
Dedham gentleman the other day,
"he is able to find much of the hu
morous in the signs and advertise
ments he sees in the course of his
peregrinations. For that reason I
always keep my eyes open for the
funny things in this line. The oth
er evening I was in Boston, and I
came across a peanut vender. He
had a rudely lettered shingle, and it
conveyed the astonishing informa
tion that he had for sale 'Fresh
baked, homemade peanuts. Five
cents a bag.'"?Boston Herald.
Increased Sound at Night.
I would like to ask, 6ays a scien
tist, if you have ever noticed the
acoustic phenomenon of greater au
dibility of sounds after nightfall?
There have been hundreds of at
tempts to account for this singular
ity in the matter of sounds, the the
ories being almost as numerous as
the theorists themselves. The an
cients noticed that the intensity of
all sounds was increased at night ,
and ascribed the phenomenon to va
rious causes, some almost as absurd
as the reasons (?) assigned by cer
i tainjnodcrn scientists.

What is an Accumulation Policy in the New York Insurance
Company. It is
A Policy absolutely without Restrictions;
A policy with but One Condition, namely, the payment of premiums;
A Policy with a Month's Grace in premium payments and paid in full in case of
death during the month of grace, less only the overdue premium with
interest;
A Policy providing for Ke-instatement within five years after default in pay
ment of premiums if the insured is in good health;
A Policy automatically non-forfeiting when the first deposit has been made;
A Policy with Privilege of Loans at five per cent, interest, any time after ex pi
ration of second year;
A Policy with Six Options in settlement at the end of 15, 20, 25 or 30 years;
| A POLICY INCONTESTABLE FROM DATE OF ISSUE;
A Policy payable immediately on receipt of proofs of death in one sum or a
selected number of Instalments.
The Oldest and Largest International Lite Insurance Company
in the World.
Modern New York Life Insurance is not simply to insure a per
son's life against death, but is an opportunity to purchase au Ac
cumulation and investment l'olicy. He is not only making an in
vestment for himself and his family, but is immediately protecting
himself and his family against any and all future financial contin
gencies; that after making the first payment, he has in his posses
sion a contract that is speedily to become as valuable to him per
sonally, while living, as it immediately is to his family in ease of his
premature death.
Every intelligent business man will buy an Accumulation l'olicy
the moment he fully understands its peculiar advantages and
splendid benefits. A policy is collateral security on which you can
always borrow money.
From the above you see the New York Life has adapted Insur
ance to the modern requirements and has a policy superior to any
issued by any company in the world.
