President Roosevelt’s Western buby-kissiug campaign suggests the question, should he make a tour of the South waul 1 he "Shut the door of hope" to the colored mothers? Oh, these Troublesome Facts! Richmond Newt Under. Some people are always bunting around for it way to block en terprise. A case in point is that of a college professor who ob jects to the exhibition at St. Louis of the cabin in which Lincoln was bom for the reason that the cabin rotted down and disappeared over a generation ago. Th« Money Question. , CiBClnnati Knquirtr • -— Minister Lamatoar, of Mexico, is coming to the United States to learn about the money question. lie will be wasting bis time. There are probably not more than a half a dozen men in the Re public who know anything of moment about the money question and the Minister may not meet them. .There is at times a great deal of fuss on the subject iu the United States, but things always settle back to the providential basis, and the "feenanciers” do not know how it came about. Tho Party lighting Itself. Statnviltc Ltaduik. As a sincere follower ol Mr. Cleveland we are delighted for many reasons to have him once again in popular favor. It is a re turn of the sober second thought of the country and of the Democ racy. The wild, visionary' and impracticable ideas which have dominated the party for eight years are passing away; and we verily believe that whoever may be the uouuDec next year, both the nominee and the platform will represent the conservative old time Democracy of the past—the Democracy that won victories and accomplised something for the country. Commendable Public Spirit Stittavillc Lwluik At an election held in Guilford county Tneaday a bond issue of $300,000 for public toad improvement was carried by more than 500 majority. Gnilford county, one of the foremost aud most pro gressive in the State, has set the pace for other counties in this and other sections of the State. Bnt the success of this boud issue in Guilford was due to the earnest and untiring efforts of the public spirited citizens of Greensboro and the county, who worked with enthusiasm and determination. Men prominent in the two political parties canvassed together for the bond Issue, anj tbe • whole affair was an inspiring example of public spirit and har monious action for the public welfare. Nil Enough Homo-Grown Cora and Wheal. WilnUaUm Star. But even iu good wheat years the importation of wheat and corn by our mills, right in the middle of the beat wheat and corn growing sections of the State, is no nuuaual occurence, for they do if every year, not to speak of the immense amount of Northern flour, meal and corn imported by our merchants. The fact is that thia State, with its practically unlimited capacity to produce all tbe wheat and corn needed for home consumption and more, does not begin to raise half enough. We do not grow wheat enough to make the bread .we eat, nor corn euongli to feed the animals that pull the plows on the farms. Of course this is a senseless course to pnrsue, for it makes bread higher and scarcer, makes people use inferior brands of flour^and it stints the rations of the farm animals, which will not be so well fed when their food must be bought and paid for iu cash and therefore they are not as serviceable aa they would be if gen erously fed. But iu addition to this it sends annually a large amotftit of money out oMbe State, every dollar of which ia needed at home and ought to lJficept at home to help our people instead of tending it out to add to the income af Western farmers and millers and add to their prosperity at our cost. Th« Maiden aad Bar Singing. ttufe Corelli. In TUclnw. Suddenly her sweet lips parted, snd she sang a weird, wild mel ody, that seemed, like a running torrent, to have fallen from the crest* of the mountains, bringing with it echoes from the furthest summits, mingled with soft wailings of a mournful wind. Her voice was pare as the ring of fine crystal-de^p, liquid and tender, with 4 restrained passion in it that stirred Errington’s heart and filled it with a strange unrest and feverish yearning— emotions which were new to him. and which while he realised their existence, moved him to a sort of ashamed impatience. He would have willingly left his post of observation now, if on|y for tha sake of shaking off his unwonted sensations; and he took a atap or two backward for that purpose, when Lorimcr, in his turn laid a detaining hand on bis shoulder. ’’For Heaven’s sake, let ua bear the song through I” he said In i «*”»ned tones. "What a voice 1 A positive golden flnteI" His rapt face betokened his enjoyment, and Errington, noth ing loath, still lingered, his eyes fixed on the white-robed slim fig ure framed in the dark old rose-wreathed wludow—the figure that swayed softly with the motion of the wheel and the rythm of the song—wMl« flickering sunbeam, sparkled now and then on the maiden'* dusky gold hair or touched up a warmer Hut on her tenderly flushed cheek, and f.|r neck, more snowy than the gown shn wore. Music poumd from her lip* •§ from the throat of a nightingale. The wort* she tang were Norwegian, and her listen •rs understood nothing of them} bnt the melody-tbe pathetic ap pealing melody—soul-moving as all true melody must b« touched tha very core of their hearts and entangled them In a web of deli •dcioos reveries. sum* THAT BOUSED LONDON. Tom Heed's Ley ol Ike Laborer Mode a Bevelatien bat With oat Strikes -Arp Thinks that Stri kers are Eaeagh to JariUy Catalog if Anything in. Alluu ConHImliuc. I am feeling sick and sad. An other friend has gone and left me. Jim Warren, was ray col lege master and I loved him lor near sixty years. He was only two month* my junior and I sometimes wondered who would be called away first. What an awful death was that I Crushed and inangled and his poor old body drugged for a quarter oi a mile and his dis membered limbs strewing the track and bis brains lardiug the rails, Alas, how little do we know about life or death! Some times I watch the cattle goiug to the slaughter pen aua am thankful that providence cou* ceals from them their impending fate, but we do not know much more about our own. IIow shall wc die and when? James War ren was one of ray true friends. I loved to love him and it gave me comfort that he loved me and always called me Charley as tenderly as a brother. His body was killed aud that was all. His pure soul went back imme diately to its creator and is now resting in the bosom ol God. That is iny faith and 1 hope it is the faitb of all those who loved him, for my heart bleeds with them. lor roar altar, and root Sir* aftrarailrcwm* I used to speak that speech, and when 1 gut to that part which said, "They come—they come -the Greek—the Greek!” I pnt on martial agony and ele vated my voice and shook the floor, I thought of all this the other day when I read about the strikers iu Atlanta going to Mr. Byrd’s publishing house aud trying to induce bis non-union printers to leave him. His part ner, Toni L,yon, showed fight and used some cuss words aud drove them off, and they had him arrested and the recorder fined him for disturbing the public tranquility, but if I "had been the recorder 1 would have excused Tom. This thing bas come home at last, for Mr. Byrd is printing a book for me and I can’t get a copy, aud am fighting mad about it. The striking interlo pers got all his printers away but two or three, aud the rascals hung arouud the back door, and all that Tom conld do was to watch them and exclaim, "They come—they come—the Greek— the Greek!” But Tom is game and says he will whip the fight and haye spine books for tne by the last of the week. The first edition bas all beeu sold and the second is in the press and has been delayed ana en filaded and barricaded and para lyzed by these contemptible strikers, and if there ever was a justifiable excuse for using cuss words, a man ought to be hired to stand at the back door and cum 'cm by tbe day as fast ss th*y come. I’ve no patience with these strikers and less with their leaden. One of my boys has just established a telephone plant in Houston, Texas, and had about forty girls employed at good wages, when suddenly some interlopen came and made them all strike, and he hired others to take their places, and the interlopers went aronnd to all liis patrons and tried to get np a boycott, but failed. Ae rich Mr. Huntington is the chief owner and he telegraphed my boy to whip that fight regard less of expense, and he has whipped it. Last year at Day ton, Ohio, a big hearted rich man established a cash register plant and had two hundred girls employed, and he cared for them just like they were his children and had bath rooms ou every floor and hot and cold water, and mirrors and soap and towels, so that they could bathe and clean np before they went home and tbe girls were con tented and happy, for all this was no part of the contract, but some interlopers came along nnd ordered a strike because •ome poor old woman who did not belong to the nnion bad tbe j?® towel* th,t the girls used in their bath rooms. Well, now, that is one side of die case, but it is said that every case has two aides. The war between capiital and labor still goes on, but labor has hut little to complain of in this blessed that these union strikers in At lanta have plenty of money in their treasury to live on while they are idle, and some of them have gotten np a baseball club and are having a good lime generally. There is no suBer ing here like there was in Lon don seventy-five year* ago when Tom Hood wrote the song ci the shirt and the lay of the laborer. It would make an angel weep to read the poor woman's song: Brncst Haywood, the Raleigh lawyer who slew Ludlow Skin uer, has petitioned tbe Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was granted Tuesday by Justice Douglas aud was made returnable on May 21st. Haywood will then have a hearing and seek to be released on bail. • Vor it's Wjirt^wwfc- vert-tar labor never Ap.r‘^UsS.*7SiRr,&1 th-v Her sad song aroused all Lon don, but there was no strikes. Onr own George Peabody was there in the banking bnsiueaa and it aroused him. Immediately he bought the ground in the suburbs and spent $20,00,000 in building cottages for the poor. Nice cottages, with bath room* and hot aud cold water and flowra in the front yard and vines over the doors and paid the taxes and charged only a little, nomiual sum ofrent, just enough to keep up the repairs, and iu less than a year he bad comfor table homes for over 20,000 peo Rj*- That’s the kind of philan thropy. Our wisest statesmen ask for au income tax aa they have in England aud it ia based on that principle that tbe more a man accumulates the heavier bis tax should be—a graduated income tax—and so if be baa piled up $10,000,000 in a year, take half of it for tax. This would stop Rockcieller and Morgan and Carnegie aud {the surplus would be as Bob Toombs said, "poured back in the jug.” It i* Bo great honor to a man to give a good part of hia profits to charity. It is a surprise that is all. Men forget lhat all they have got its but a loau and sooner or later they must give it all up and pay the debt. A Fool-washing Religisus Service. The annual foot-washing cere mony at Piney Grove church, Davidson county, last Sunday was attended by fully 2.000 peo ple. says the Salisbury Sun. Of these about 1,000 went out from Salisbury and Spencer. The foot washing occurred at the afternoon service, eiders Burch and Broadway officiated at the celebration of the Holy Communion, after which three backets of water, and as many basins, werq placed in readiness for the foot washing. Klder Burch first made an introductory talk, explaining and justifying t“e ceremony. He declared that he had always taken the 43th chapter of John in its plain sense. Twelve members of the church, including the elders and deacons, occupied two benches on' the left of the pulpit and facing each other. Some made ready to wash and others began to remove their shoes and hose. Elder Burch cajne first, repeat ing the Scriptural narrative in word and act. "He laid aside Hia garments." quoted the elder, and be took off hia coat. "And took n towel and girded Himself,” and he tied a long towel around his waist, leaving one end free. After that he poured water into * “f1®. »®d began to wash the disciples' feet," quoted Klder Bnrch again and again, and be gan to act in accordance with the words, using his hands. And to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded " quoted Klder Bnrch in conclu sion, employing the free end of the towel. The mutual waahing of feet proceeded in this manner except that the Scriptural words were not spin wed. All the feet showed evidence of recent care, and the socks looked irre proachable. During the cere mony two hymns were aung, one .h*vin* •» Its harden, W« w“h other’s feet." The church has 66 members. It was built 14 yetn igo. The corner atone of the new Met h o d i a t Orphanage at Raleigh was laid Tuesday with impressive ceremoniescoodacted in part by the Grand Lodge of Masons. amp* li ^MUK PMM8 MR« •, . • ••• •- . \ , • ssrrr- twitb-n~ —a Lai WHITE MEFEAT. Victory Wan In Alnhnnw W litMnlt Man. SkchI to Wooktaatoa for. Birmingham, Ala. May 12.—A meeting of the Republican State executive committee, called at the instance of the "Lily Whites" I leaders and held there this after noon. was captured by supporters of President Roosevelt to all ap pearances, and the action of the jost Republican State convention iu excluding negroes from the councils of the party was practi cally nullified by the adoption of a plan for bolding a State con vention next year whereby all voters qualified under the consti tution of Alabama and who be lieve in the principles of the Re publican party are allowed to take part in the party’s councils. This will let in the registered ne gro voters, of whom there are about two thousand in the Stale The full committee was pres ent in person or by proxy. The test vote showed that the Roose velt forces had tweuty votes and the "Lily Whites” thirteen. A resolution was also adopted in dorsing the administration of President Roosevelt, but a pro posed resolution indorsing bits for the nomination next year was rot presented, being withheld, it is stated, iu interest of harmony* A sharp fight was precipitated by the resolution indorsing the administration, and several mo tions were made to adjourn, but tbe Roosevelt leaders coutrolled the situation, and put through tbe resolution, tacking to It a resolution of confidence in the party leader* of this State, who are "Lily Whites." The "Lily Whites" acquiesed in the committee’s action, and it is generally believed now that such a measure of harmony has been bronght about as will prevent a contesting delegation to the next national convention. A Mi With an Fay. WUmiflftaa Mturnir. Dr. Crum, the colored gentle man whom President Roosevelt *ii so determined to provide with s comfortable berth at the expense of the feelings of the citizens of Charleston, S. C.. has run up against an unexpected snag and it seems that the berth is not su soft as be and the presi dent supposed it to be. Cram sent in his accounts the ether day to the treasury department and asked that bis pav be re mitted. Iu reply the d prat meat called bis retention la an act of co igrcss which provides that where the president makes a recess appointment «hich could .jve been made au.i con firmed daring a session of the senate the appointee could draw no pay until bis appointment had been con armed at the next session of congress. The word ing of the statute is plain aa to the deferring of payment of salary in inch cases until the confirmation of the appointment by the next session of congress. Dr. Crum certainty cannot re ceive one cent of pay as collector ol.the port o# Charteston until the congress which meets next De cember acts on his nomination, sad it would seem from the wording of the statute above re ferred to that ahoald congress reject his nominstion or refuse to act upon it he would not get any pay at all for bis services. That the senate will confirm his nomination we do not believe. It la moat likely that Hr. Roose velt’s friend will get nothing but the hooor as bis remuneration for holding the position of collector of customs of Charles ton. __ Rock Hill in to have iu homes numbered and streets naiflcd In thS,^Ktrixtydaya.
