THE ENTERPRISE. |, roiuuutD crxxr fkhmt C. ' ... EOITOI 3bMnidtkcMoac>« Willi*—lH. FRIDAY MAT 26, 1906. SNAPSHOTS. According to Mr. Chandler'; version the'apostle'of the "aquan deal" has been banding a few frou the bottom of the pack. It is rather surprising when yoi come to think of it, that so littk attention has been paid to the pow der trust by the magazines. There is some money worse than tainted money—that for ins tance which, Massachussetts set aside for the lamestown Exposi tion. It's just nasty. Having tborongbly discussed the Russian Premier Goremykin't name, and side whiskers, the hum orists are looking him over foi other points of interest. "There are things that might Ix worse than a Democratic House" says Senator Aldrich. Yes, tlu Democrats think a Republican House is one of those things. In other words, President Roose velt supplied the hot shot, Mr. Garfield furnished the report, and the "standard - ' the kick. Now wait 'til the smoke clears up. The Russian douuia is "attempt ing to demand for amnesty on the Czar.". It will be a relief to the czar to have something forced on ' him that does not have a fuse at tachment. The Tribune's Washington cor resspoudeut speaks of "William li. Chandler's open defiance of the President." Mr. Chandler's opeu defiance, consists in denying that he is a liar. His majesty of Boroda, India, lias come to the United States to 1 earn the secret of American suc cess. One of the secrets of Amer ican success, is not a secret; it is hard work. A St. Joseph, Mo, woman deter mined on suicide, ate morphine tablets, and set herself on fiie, without results. A woman like that would even fail "to graduate from a cooking school. It might have all been different if Senators Bailey and Tillman had followed Senator Lodge's plan and used the telephone in White House conferences instead of dealing through a peacemaker. Mr. George W. Perkiuscontends that it is not a crime to help the Republican j>arty with insurance funds. It seems to take the gen tleman a long time to understand that his crime consists in being "caught at it." The contention that Chicago owns its streets has received tin formal indorsement of the United States Supreme court and the be lief is general that the tractioi companies will not try to cany tlu case any higher up. A New York professor of lan guages who amused himself on th board walk at Atlantic City bj pinching women, was in turn pinch ed by the police and fined sls. Ti that extent he has added to hi: knowledge of sin tax. z A Chicago scientist has it figured out that the world will last at leaM 100,000,000 more years, instead of the 50,000,000 heretofore claimed The period was extended probably to allow further time for the com pletion of the Panama Canal. It is not difficult to telieve blind, bleeding, itching or protruding piles with ManZan, the great pile remedy. It is put up in collapsa ble tubes with nozzle, and may Ix introduced and applied at the seat of the trouble. Stops pain instaot 7. Sold by S. R. Biggs. \ FACTORIES—WE NOW NEED. During the past we have been content to lead an agricultural life , and great has been our progress . and development along these lines. ' But "in the course of human events" it becomes necessary for us as a people to get together and to institute factories among our people and thereby broaden ont and diversify our occupations. As . a matter of course this must follow . sooner or later, it is bound to come. The South has gone into the manufacturing business and North Carolina is fifth on the list. There are two hundred and eighty-seven mills in the State of North Caro lina that manufacture cotton and woolen goods, and not a single one of these is in Martin county. It is a deplorable state of affairs. We need to out on our thinking cap and think about, the question of turning out the raw material into the finished product, through and through. It lies within the power of the owner of a knitting mill to supply the hosiery to the great bulk of the people of the county. The farmers of Martin county should be the owners of such a plant. They are the people who toil and sweat and they are the |ieople that ought to lienefit by that which they produce. Thestf factories turn out big earnings and such an enterprise would tend to increase increase wages and net a handsome dividend. The farmer would not have to have thousands of dollars to insti tute these factories, for as in union there is strength, we would natur ally want the large aud the small farmer to take stock and be bene fitted accordingly. Then we would have a strong company and all would be alive aud tip and doing for the interest of the coni|>any because for their own interest. We must start the hall a-rolliug. We must get in the rut with the other progressive counties of the State. Iook at our sister counties, Edge combe and Halifax. On the one hand we see Kdgecombe with two cotton mills, one knitting mill and several cotton seed oil mills, manu facturing warps, yarns, hosiery and underwear; on the other hand we see Halifax with two cotton mills and four knitting mills, manufac turing cotton damask, domestics, underwear and hosiery. Are we less progressive than these, our sister counties? No! Ww just have not yet realized what lies within our reach, what progress we might make as a manufactur ing people. There is not a section of the State that is stqierior to us as to farming, but in the business of manufacturing we are in the dark. We can raise with good success cotton, peanuts and tobac co, but not owe of these commodi ties is handled and re-handled so as to make them sell for just thrice the amount they sell for at present. We believe in protection to this extent, that the native of our coun ty shall get the profit that the out side mill man makes on the com modity that now goes out of the County, provided such a commodi ty can l»e handled by the county mill and sold for the same price that the outside mill man gets for it. It devolves on thinking men to work out a system of organization —of factories—that will benefit the producer of the raw material. Machinery plays an important part in modern life, let it play the part in the solution of this ques tion. Let machinery connect the farmer to the mill man, and then we will be equal to, yea, we will surpass the Northern man who has been manufacturing our cotton goods and re-shipping them to 11s aud gettiug thrice, four times, as much as we got for the raw pro duct, and justly so, for he used the machinery and beautified and pol ished it. With our idle capital we can get the same machinery and thus take the Northern man's profit from him. Let's have mills. A QUARANTKKO CORK FOR PILE* Itching, Blind, Bleeding Piles.

I-5-06-1 yr Rate Regulation The Aldrich-Allison aitiendn nt of the Hepburn railroad rate hill his been adopted by the Senau: Thos alter five months of deliberu tion — an evidence of its ultra-con ■wli— thai body bus acted, acted as it inevitably must act so long as the Ald rich-Rockefeller in fluence is dominant. Conferees will be appointed by both houses; there will be parleying and the making of concessions, and the Senate amendment, substantially as it is now,' will prevail. This, notwithstanding the strong posi tion taken by the House in adopt ing the Hepburn bill and the sup port of that measure by the Presi dent. The Hepburn bill recognizes the right of court review, but it does not attempt to define the jurisdic tion of the Federal Courts in such matters. The President wished to go even further, to "exprt sly grant a court review, but to (lis-1 tinctly limit it to two points, lust, an inquiry whether the Inter-Slate Commerce Commission had exceed ed its authority, and second, an inquiry whether the constitutional rights of the carrier had been vio lated." Thus, according to ex- Seuator Chandler, favoring an ex pressly limited court revifew the President has joined the ranks ol Aldrich and Spooner, Knox and Foraker, the avowed champion • of a fall court review, since they wish to allow the courts to fix the bounds of their jurisdiction. Thegfdtmds for their opposition to a bill de fining the jurisdiction of the courts is, sucn an attempt would prove abortive, since the law would lie pronounced unconstitutional. This is the same argument that has lieen effectively used every time Con gress attempts to increase the j*mv ers of the Inter-State Commerce 1 Commission. These champions of the railroads are so solicitous for an effective law regulating rates that they ate not willing to take the chances of having the courts I kiss unfavorably ! In additiou to their deep soltci tule for the great masses of the people, this Aldrich quartet insist that their voices alone should lie 1 lieatd in the laud when rate regit- j at ion is the theme. Only the | ;iiends( ?) of an effective law should ( it tempt tariff reform or rate regit BLUE FRONT pure roop grocery DO YOU TRADE THERE? Ofcourseyou do!

Senator Bailey very effectively met the constitutional objections to limited review when he called at tention to the fact that the consti tution ouly established one court— the Supreme Court—aud "such others as Congress may from tinn to time establish." Thus all other Federal Courts inferior to the Su preme Court are creatnres of Con gress. "A breath (from whom) cau make them, as a breath ba> made." This, then, being true as to th-se courts, Congress can defi nitely fix their respective jurisdic tions as it has done since their creation. All of this discussion as to a re view of the findings of the Inter- State Commerce Commission is piompted, on the one side, by the railroads in order to prevent the Commission from acquiring the power to fix a maximum rate, and also, to f tree parties seeking relief to resort to the long, tedious, ex pensive and, often, unsatisfactory iliethod of adjudicating such mat ters in the courts. s Tile- fiends of rate regulation can only hope for the best; they should "beware of the Greek> brimtiug gifts" however. The people Inve never received any thing from this «ource, why ex pect it now ? If the House adopts the Aldrich-Allijon view, the coun try must submit for a season. If this measure proves to I* evasive and ineffectual, the righteous in dignation of a people demanding tariff revision and rate reform — t WHmieastires that go baud in hanl, for Utth are phases of the trust |uestiou —will lie visited upon the (Virtv that heard but would not heed the cry of the people.
