He does not have to bother over the third term proposition. The chief outcome of the Browns- vllle investigation seems to be a large batch of work for the Gover meut Pi ailing Office. It remains to be seen whether this nature faker condemnation will have any practical effect on the seasons crop of fish stories. The Department of Agriculture figures out that rats eat $87,000,000 worth of food stuffs each year. But at present prices, that is no large quanity. A California paper tells of a niau v out there who accumilateif a liiiij* ion dollars in debts. Look 1 - as though he ought to be able live off the interest pretty comfortably. Senator I)cpew says he knows what the President is going to do about the third term. It is highly probable that the President would be obliged to Depew for the infor mation. The Board of County Commis sioners, acting in accordance with a statute passed by the last Legis lature, has purchased a state Hag, whfch during sessions of coutt will be draped behind the judge's stand and on state occasions will be dis played from the top of the Court House. In view of the present condition of things, 1,10 doubt, the purchase of the flag was a useless expenditure of money. If Jeter Pritchard and the lawless railroads, which he is trying to help in their utter disregard of State authority, are to make us slaves, there will 1* no state and the flag, the once proud emblem of a free people will trail in the dust, and the red flag of ruin and despoliation will wave in its place. No longer will Car olinians be the freest of the free, but the slave uuder the heel. of every Pritchard. There is a tolerably unanimous failure thoughout the South to either get excited 6r enthusiastic over the war screams of a certain section of the yellow press. It is not that the South is uot patriotic. If the time ever comes when there is something doing in the war line either with the Orient or any other part of the world, the South will be found holding down its end ol the job. That the South could fi«ht anl would fight was abuu datitly and sorrowfully proven during the Civil War, aud the united country will probably not get over paying pensions for that object lesson In two generations. That the South was still able- bod ied and willing was also shown in the Spanish War though that did, not amount to much. But as to the talk of war with Japan, the south fails to be interested. There is nothing in the situation to war rant war talk. The situation, such as it is, is uot one that wars are made out of. Further, the South has a valuable and growing trade with the of' ent tbat is does not want to see disturbed for the benefit of a few newspapers who make a living cut of half page scare headlines. Southern cotton mills unbleached piece goods for the benighted heathen are absorb ing topics enough for the Squth jnst now. When there is a real occasion for war talk it will begin to take an interest. —• 1 • ■ Wood shall Be Corded i In this community wood is sold by the pen and not by the cord,the seller of wood claiming that he has to pay the cutters by the pen, and he also claims that aix. pens' make a cord.

States Might as Well Go Out ol Business Most of the newspapers out of the State have a clear understand ing of the situation involved in the rate litigation in North Carolina, though a few have l>een misled by the specious and otie-sided prontin ciamctito of President Fiulev. The Springfield Republican states the real situation in a few words when it says "if Federal courts may val idly aud with such readiness as has been their recent pleasure hold up and suspend State laws regulative of corporations within the Stale, the States might just as well goout of the governing business altogeth er. There would remain to them few important powers which could nol well be exercised in the tnunlcipnl ities under a national svsteui of lo cal government." That states the whole thing in a nutshell. If Judge Pritchard's revolutionary order is made "valid" and rich railroads are enabled to set at naught the laws of a State, "the State might just as well go out of governing business altogeth er." If we have reached the point that the Federal Government, the creature of the States, can abso lutely destroy the sovereignty ot the State in one of its most import ant functions, as Judge Pritchard's order destroys North Carolina's right to govern in its own territory, the people of North Carolina are entitled to know it so that they may stop the farce of passing laws without Jirst submitting them to an iuferMT" Federal judge and Southern Railway officials to see if they will permit them to lie en forced. —News & Observer.

THE WILLIAMSTON MARKET This market was born Aug. 6 1902, aud the opening sale on that day was a sigh* to behold. The two warehouse Roanoke and Dixie was filled to over flowing with to bacco and thousands of our good country aud towns jjeople were present to, see the auctioneer and watch the bidding on the golden 'Weed. We had 3 or 4 silver tongued Auctioneers to make the sale lively and an elouquent address before sales commenced from our silver tongued orator, Senator H. W. Stubbs. The crowd was es timated at 5000 people. The third warehouse, The Farmers Ware house, wus established in 1905 and lias been successfully conducted evet since. The market has been a sucess from the statt and very few of our farmers have ever carried their to tiacco to any other market as we have always had gool live com pet at ion on all types of tobacco and a set of buyers that any market would be proud of. Since the estab lishment of this tobacco market v-very owner of towu or country property has seen liis houses aud lands abvance in value. Go look at the price of property in 1902 and try to buy it now, you will see the Jifference. There was only one thing lack ing to make this a complete tobacco market and that was an up to date iteam plant, aud by speciul effort on part of our cit/.eus we are glad to announce that we have seemed a iteatn plant that will be second to none in the state, and it willjenable our tobacco men to handle the larmers' tobacco under any and all conditions, and put us in direct touch with all the foreign markets jf the world. Our types of tobacco are especialy adapted to the wants of the English, Japanese aud Chin ese trades, and over half of the to-* 1 bacco that is sold in Hasten North Carolina goes to these Countries. And, in order to get this trade it must he redried in a guaranteed con dition to stand an ocean voyage and to keep sweet and sound for at least five years. We are now in positiow to put the farmers tobacco in this condition, and our ware housemen and buyers assures the editor and patrons of the market that Williamston shall lead-others must follow. Good Roads in Grlttin. Information from Mr Plenny Peele, Cliairinan of the Hoard of 'Supervisors, ot Griffin Township, that the overseers of public roads for that township have been doing some Rood work. They have their roads rounded, drained and iu every way is excellent shape. The roads of the sections looked after by the following gentlemen: Messrs. Jno. D. Roberson, S. J. Manning I). J. Lilley, Dawson Griffin and Lewis H. Peele are in better condition than tbey have ever been. This is indeed gratifying and shows that Griffins Township is in the fore-front, and that if any section of North Carolina gets of her in auy way, it must get tip and he doing. —Ask lor R1 Coreso, Refuse others.
