Greenville, Pitt County, H. Tuesday, August
THE POINT IS CLEAR.
In a column editorial the
Messenger differs with re-
cent paragraph in The
in which this paper said Watts

one of the principles of the party
platform, the man who declares that
he will not support this law nor sup-
port those who favor it, has no right
to participate in a democratic
In the main we agree fully with
what the Messenger says. We ad-
that great latitude must be
en in party matters and that all men
in the party are not agreed upon
every phase of the platform, hut on
the particular point in question we
hold to the conviction expressed.
According to our view of the mat-
in state politics this year the
Watts law is the main issue. We do
not recall any other issue that is par-
amount to it. The Watts law was
enacted by a democratic legislature
and its endorsed by the
democratic It is the
one point an which the republican
party is fighting us in the state in
this campaign and the liquor deal-
are joining with them in the
fort to overthrow it. The latter
have gone so far as to urge their
followers to support no man who fa-
a continuance of the law upon
the statute books, Their object is
want to overthrow the
Watts law and reopen the whiskey
traffic in the state, and to perpetuate
this their next step would be
again put the ballot in the hands
the
Under the circumstances those
who take sides with the republicans
in their opposition to the Watts law
are certainly at variance with the
principles of the democratic party,
and for that reason we say man

who favor it, has no right to

Such a man would go into the

that he would not support its
nominees nor abide by its

We repeat, such a man has no bus-

Maj. W. A Guthrie, of Durham,
recently returned from the St. Louis
exposition, writes a letter to the
Charlotte Observer in which he says
North Carolina's exhibit there is a
disgrace to the state. The major
is not far from right in his opinion.
When The visited the
exposition in May he saw enough to
convince him that those supposed to
be looking after North Carolina's
It strikes us that to a
matter is just as strongly favoring
it as to it Our dictionary

the same and one of the
definitions of the word endorse is to

thing approve is the stronger word.
the democratic state
in saying approve the
principles of the Watts gave
it about as strong endorsement as
words can convey. The contention
made it one of the principles of the
party platform, and the man who
declares himself against it certainly
is at variance with the principles of
the party. Therefore we repeat
emphatically that such a man should
not be asking the party to give him
an office, and he acts with gross in-
consistency when he does so.
The Watts law should be made a
test of democracy, and the man who
will not stand by it should have no
voice in the party deliberations.
Count the Cost
The Democratic party has
ed the Watts bill. The Republican
party has condemned it. The Li-
Association has come
out flatfooted against the Watts bill,
which places them with the

It looks like the is in a fair
way to be supplanted by a better
class of labor. The New Bern
recently told that because of
failure to get hands to work on a
railroad being built from New Bern
into Pamlico county, twenty-five
Italians were bought down from the
North to work on the road, and they
are making good hands. The Kins-
ton Free Press also tells that the
contractor putting in water works
there could not get enough hands,
so sent to New York for fifty Italians
to put on the work. These
with Italian labor will be
watched with interest if they
prove successful will be followed by
other importations. It is said that
Italians make splendid farm hands
and those who have come South to

This may prove of the scar
city of foam labor.
It is evident some work must
be done to prevent the nomination
at the coming county convention of
a legislative ticket antagonistic to
the Watts law and the principles of
the democratic party. The
are making every effort to cap
the primaries and get delegates
to carry out their purpose. It is
time for democrats to be on their
guard.

agitation.
On August 1904, cotton root-
bark was selling in the New York
market for cents per pound.
Cotton root bark is largely used
in the manufacture of medicines
both in this country and Europe.
Borne years past, owing to the
very low prices for cotton lint, the
price paid for the bark by
druggists has been so low
that there was little incentive for
gathering it- The in the
of druggists is at present
about exhausted, and the price has
gone up in consequence.
At present prices of farm labor,
and the known value of such labor
in planting fall sown crops, no cot-
ton grower can afford to gather cot-
ton root-bark for less than ten cents
per pound, delivered at nearest
railroad station. If growers will
stand and refuse to sell for
less than ten cents they can easily
secure that price. For early deliver-
from cents to cent can be
secured.
The method of preparing cotton
root-bark for market is as
Only the bark of the root be-
low ground is wanted, this may be
collected at any time the lint
is gathered until early spring, or
until such time as the bark when
peeled shows black streaks on inner
side.
Cotton root-bark must be
stripped from the root while fresh.
The fresh bark peels very easily and
should be removed as whole as
Before peeling wash the roots
free from sand and clay. Dry the
peeled bark a shed or other
water tight cover. Turn the bark
every day until as dry as hay. Dry-
takes about a week.
The dry bark may be packed
in clean sacks, barrels or boxes.
Druggists will not buy less than one
hundred pounds. Most of the
manufacturing druggists will
buy good bark in lots of one ton or
more. There is a considerable ex-
port demand.
To secure sale for cotton root-
bark growers should first collect a
small lot of ten pounds or so and dry
it carefully. Then mail samples of
about i ounces to each of the houses
named below, stating how much
bark can be supplied We
recommend the Baltimore
es for North growers.
We advise that the bark be
sold f. o. b. at nearest depot and that
no offer of less than ten cents per
pound be accepted. If no fact-
offer is received from samples
sent do not collect the bark.
All the firms named below
buy cotton root-bark. We believe
to be trustworthy, but do not
