No Astrologer has had the nerve to tackle the Chicago tunnels with ■ line of predictions. "The Democrats have swept ■* Omaha", says a dispatch. Glad it got swept by somebody. The soulless corporations are do ing as much to help San Francisco, as if they were corporations with souls. General Fuuston uo longer has to fall back upon his Philippine laurels, lie has a ucw crop ol home growth. The government has spent $23,- 000 trying to oust Senator Sinooi from a $5,000 job. And he isn't ousted yet. It is said that the Senate has ex hausted the subject ol rate regula tion. It has pretty nearly exhaus ted the public also. District Attorney Jerome seems to have embraced the Roosevelt Mortou doctrine "A friend of mint can do no wrong.' When Greek meets Greek, there is not nearly so much doing as when Greek meets American in the Olympian games. It is doubtful if Speaker Can non would be willing to give Up his control of Congress, lor tin mere sake of being President. Uncle Joe Cannon is uot going to decline the Presidency until it is offered to him, and he is uot alto gether certain he will do so then. An iuventor is putting on the mar ket a folding baby carriage. What some fathers would hail with de light is one that can be shut up. The German stable hand who was imprisoned for swearing at one of the Kaiser's horses, will here after curb his unbridled temper a bit. The fate of the Hepburn ran bilf is said to rest with the Presi dent and the western Senators, o combination that will l>e hard to beat. Some of those young San Fran cisco people who niariicd in a hui ry last week, may discover after ;i while, that there are worse thing* than earthquakes. Astrologers do not come out and say so, but the obvious moral is for any one wanting i good serviceable earthquake, t« send f> 1 to them. Senator Piatt now denies that In said he would lie a candidate lot re-election, but to a close oliservn it is not clear what particular «lif ference that will make. Of course it is now up to Sniatoi Spooner. And by the time Sena tor Spoouer has again replied ti Senator Bailey, it tnay !>e necessan to put the rate bill on ice. Captain Hobson's election ti Congress, will be generally approv ed. There is no reason why ti man should be deemed unfit foi Congress just because he is famous. More than eighty churches am buildings devoted to religous activ ity, were destroyed in San Francs co. The idea that the city was pagan as well as gay is a mistake. It is a little humiliating to adtni that the two meauest men have tin ■ll y been located in Washington They were caught selling goodi which they had collected for tli San Francisco relief tund. Another catue for congratulation is to be found in the fact, that tl«. | American people are so prosi>eroii - that several million dollars can !• spared for the relief of the earth quake victims without having li e sacrifice felt.

We give below a speech of Mr. C. L. Mundy, of Newark, N. 1., on the Negro question. It is re markable that such vie'ws should come from a Northern man. and especially a citizen of New Jersey. We read just a few days ago an article in The Arena, of Trenton, which held that it was wrong and unconstitutional for the white peo ple to discriminate in matters of education against , the negro, that there ought to be no different school for each race. Mr. Mundy said : Let us consider first the historv of man. What is it? It is a series of great pulse-beats, whose flood overwhelms his future and fixes its life. Like the dammed torrent on the mountainside, it breaks the con servatism that has held it stagnant for generations and floods the world with its swWp. Theories, creeds and institutions, hallowed by age, are cast as rubbish on the scarred hills that mark its course. The old world has been buried and a new one ha* appeared in the dawn ol the twenieth century. The Anglo-Saxon is entering the new century with the imperial crown of the age on his brow and the scepter of the infinite in his hand. The Old South fought against the stars' in their courses—the re sistless tide of the rising conscious ness of supreme nationality and world mission. The Young South greets the new era and glories in its manhood. He joins his voice in the cheers of triumph which arc ushering in the all-conquering White Man. Our fathers dreamed of local supremacy. We dream of the glol>e. Threads of steel have knit State to State Steam and electricity have silently transformed the forces of the earth, annihilated time and space, and swept the bar riers of the mighty ocean from the path of man. The steam shut ties of commerce have woven continent to continent. I believe that Almighty God has raised up our race in this world crisis to establish and maintain for weaker races, as a trust for civiliza tion, the principles of civil and re ligions lil>erty and all forms of good government. lii this hour of crisis, our flag, the Stars and Stripes, that has never iK't-n defeated and never will !>e, has been raised over ten millions of —etui barbaric black tneu in the Philippines. Shalt we repeat the farce of '67, reverse the order of nature, aud make these black people our rulers ? If not, why should the African here, who is not our equal, l»e allowed to imperil our life? A crisis approaches in the history of the human race. The world is stir red by its consciousness to-day The nation must gird up her loins a»d show her right to live —to master the future or be mastered in the sti llggle. New questions press up on us for solution. What is our condition to-day in the dawn of the twentieth century ? Ourcity gov ernment!) aie debauched by the Ne gro vote. His damnable insolence and crime threatens our sacred womanhood not ouly in the South, where a white woman is unsafe and liable to insult of the most hellish kind, but it is fast increasing in our Northern States. Shall we longer tolerate Negro inspectors jtf white schools and allow our children to •>e obliged to sit with Negro child -1 ren in ottr public schools ? Let the uauliood of the White Man's race, vitb its four thousand years of iti thro tic history, answer t bisques •.ion! The hour has come when we nust rise in our might, break tin ■bains that binds us to this corrupt ion, strike down the Negro as a ruling power, and restote to our •hil hen their birthright, which we eceived, a priceless legacy, from >ur fathers, I believe in God'scaH o our race to do Hts work in his ory What other races failed to 10, we have wrought in this eon inental wilderness, fighting pesti ence, hunger, cold, wild beasts and .avage hordes, until out of it all las grown the mightiest nation in he world. Is the Negro worthy o rule over you, White Mr.ll? Vsk History. The African has icld one-fourth of this globe for 5.000 years. He has never taken me step in progress, except as the lave of a sujierior race. In Hayti tud San Domingo, lie rose in servile iisin net ion and butchered fifty housand white men, women and •hil'lren, a hundred years ago. le has ruled these lieautifnl islands ince. Did he make progress with he example ol the White Man's ivili/.ation liefore him ? "No But >t was only yesterday we received reports of the discovery of cannibal ism in Hayti. He has one hundred years of trial in the Northern States of this Union, with every facilitv of culture and progress, and he has not produced one man who has added a feather's weight to the pro gress of the Union. Nations are made by uieu.not by paper constitu tions and paper ballots." We are not free because we can vote. We are free liecauseour pioneer fathers, who cleared the wilderness aud dared the might of kings, were freemen. We grant the right to life, liberty and the j ursuit of happiness, if he cau be happv with out exercising kingship over the Anglo-Saxon race, or dragging us down to his level. But if he can- not find happiness except by lord ing it over u superior race, let him look for another world in which lo rule. There is not room enough for both of us on this continent. We will fight it out on~4hi* line, if it takes a hundred years, two hup; drcd, five hundred, or a' thousand. It took Spaiu eight hundred years to expel the Moon.. When the time comes the Anglo-Saxon can do in one decade what the Spaniard did in eight centuries. If you, White Man, really be lieve in equality, prove it by giv ing vour daughter to a Negro in marriage. That is the test. Race and race pride are the or dinances of lite. The Anglo-Sax on race is united and has entered upon its world mission. This is n white man's government, conceiv ed by white men, and maintained by white men through every year of its history, and by the God of our fathers it shall be ruled by white men until the archangel shall declare that time is no longer. Rev. fir. Kirton't Vlevs. To the liditor: —It is my pur pose, if possible, in this communi cation to emphasize the undisputed claims which a newspaper has up on the community in which it Js issued. It is not a private cou\ cern, dealing with bias interests, but it is a property of the whole community, in which every one shares alike. And it is a general ly conceded tact that every town has l>een dependent to a large ex tent for its growth and prosperity upon the local paper. I have never known a town to progress materially or otherwise without the leadership of an up-to-date wide-awake newspaper. The in telligent paper stands for the churches, the schools and the bus iness interests of the community. Society has a social function and the paper is not unmindful of thnt fact Of course the public reserves the right to demand that the pap er shall lie perfectly tair to every citizens The editot has a right to the color of his own individuality, to his opinions in his editorials; but lie has no right and no iucli nation to suppress the news in which the public feels an interest. But I wish to say that 110 news paper can be a success without the co-ojieration of the people in the community 111 which it is publish ed. Therelore eveiy merchant should advertise his goods; people generally trade with merchants wlio advertise. livery citizen should give to the paper every item of news that he has in his possession If there is anything of interest, whether we approve of it 01 not, let lis not forget that there are maiiv other people with as much sense as we have, who do not think as we do There is a fine agricultural country backing up this town, and there is no reason why Williams ton should not tie a modern little city in a few years. Let us all support our newspaper, attend our churches and stand by our schools Prkston Iy. Kirton. ■■ News hrom Jamesvllle. Jamesville, May, 6 1906.

Report of the Commiutioner of Labor and Printing for 1905 Tbe progress along agricultural line has gone band in hand with that of manufacturing. "Farming has, indeed, become to be a great »nd growing industry, a science and not a mere process. Improved methods are being rapid ly introduced and the drudgery of ancient times is now only a memo ry in the mind ot the Tar Heel The increased de mand for the product of the farm has rendered the introduction of modern methods an absolute neces sity and given a new iuipetus t £* the farming industry of the State^ "The campaign of education,Ji? gun a few years ago, is growriig in interest and magnitude The real izaiion that a more extended knowl edge of agriculture itself was need ed lead to a spirit of investigation which took this important industry out of the old ruts and is placing it upon a modern basis Farmers are becoming educated and mani fest an increasing interest in the preparation of their sons for the fields of broad acres that now lie out before them The om great problem is tbe scarcity ol labor. Nejjro labor on the farm is becoming less reliable and the farmers need to co-operate with each other in a determined effort to attract a desirable class of immi grants to this section." The value of lanl lias increased in ninety counties, and of course Martin is in that nuiuher. There is a tendency throughout the State to have smaller and more intensive farming, eighty-nine as against eight of the counties report in favor of smaller farms. Kverv county reports labor sea ret; there will have to be something done be fore long in this regard. Negro labor is reported reliable in one county and unreliable in ninety-five. In ninety-five coun ties there has been an increase in the cost of living, no increase in two. "Highest average wages paid men $19.84, an increase of 98 cents a month over last year; lowest $ 12.19, an increase of $1.12. Higl - est average wages paid women {12.42, an increase of 88 cents pet month over last year; lowest $8.28, an increase of $2 12 over last year. Average wages of childreu $7.45, an increase of $1.95 over last year." A five hundred pound bale of cotton is produced by 66 counties at #30.63. We suppose Martin county is in that class as the re porter put it in round numliers #3 1.00. Nilietv seven counties produce corn at 49 cents jier bush el; Martin at 41. Nii.ety-tlnee produce oats at 33 cents; Martin at 27. Sixty-five counties produce tobacco at #7 41 per one hundreil pouttd-; Martin at $7.00. We will compare the counties of Pitt, Ivlgecoinbe and Beriie with our own in the matter of cost and profit obtained from cotton, corn, oats and tobacco. It costs us $31.00 to raise a five hundred ixttiud bale of cotton, we get #9OO profit; lidgeeombe #31.35, she gets $8.85 profit; liertie $32.00, profit $8.95; Pitt $30.85, profit sl4 65. Martin gets the next biggest profit out of her cotton. It costs Bertie 44 cents to produce corn and she sells it for 74 cents, profit 30 cents; Kdgecoiube cost 55 cents, price 74 cents, profit 19 cents; Pitt cost 43 cents, price 64 cents, profit 21 cents; Martin cost 41 cents, price 67 cents, profit 26 cents. We take the second honor in the matter of corn raising, because, we susoect, we have so many Couohos around us, which means "floating corn." Bertie is kuocked out in raising oats. So we will give the othei three: Kdgeconilie, cost 29 cents per bushel, price 52 cents, profit 23 cents; Pitt, cost 32 cents, price 55 cents, profit 23; Martin, cost 27 cents —costs her less to raise them than it docs either of the others price 50 cents, profit 23 cost. We have to get a gnod p r ice tobacco to ■ compete with Edge com!* and Pitt. It costs couilie per oue hundred pouui's $6.15. price $7.25. profit sl.lO, Pitt, costs $6 50, price $6 60, profit 10 cents; Martin, costs $7 00, price $7.00, profit nothing This only applies to last year's crop, of course. We challenge any agricultural county in the State to show a more prosperous condition, to slittw a more fertile soil, a soil that pro duces all kinds of crops, adapted to all sorts. But we are indeed very sorry to relate that Martin is not one among the counties that reports the edu cational condition good. We are in the second class, the class that reports fair. There are thirty-four in the same category. Thirtv >ight report poor and five bad. We want to prick ourselves in ed ucation and get in the class that reports good. Out of the ninety-seven counties of the State there are 56 that have ffotu one to 32 mills that manufac tuie cotton. We want to see a cotton mill somewhere in Martin county. If it pays in other coun ties why will it not pay in ours? North Cardina is one of the foie most States in the manufacture of cotton goods.
