Buying for Christmas is easier than paying for it. Don't over do your pocket book in the effort to make an impression. If South Carolina does have a hanging as a result of that hotel tragedy at it will lie miscarriage of justice, in which that state has already noted.

Don't think that because the amount you owe is small it makes no Every little counts, and one small payment may be the means of getting others paid. The president is realizing the spirit of the crowd he has to deal with. The last rumpus between leading North Carolina Republicans who have rushed to him with their grievances has provoked from him the expression that he wished to the very bottom of his heart that there was no patronage to distribute among the Republicans in the South. If his wish were granted there would soon be i Republican party on this side the Potomac, for it is only the hope of patronage that keeps the in it. General F. I.

The Raleigh Times stated at the time that it only took over the mechanical equipment of the Post and agreed to fill out the unexpired subscriptions it seems that the grudge against the News and Observer went along with the deal. We never could see why newspapers in the same town should keep fighting each other in stead of working to build up their town, public does not take much inter, st in such quarrels. Scientists claim that electricity can make a man forget Journal. No doubt about that, if he only gets enough of the stuff he will forget that he ever lived. Call for Mammoth Convention. The cotton producers of the South, bankers, merchants and of other business interests are hereby called to meet in convention at the City of New Orleans, La., 11th, 18th and 13th, We want five thousand delegates to be present, representing the entire cotton territory of the South when the convention is called to order at one o'clock P. M., on Mil in the splendid auditorium of the Washington Artillery building. The farmers generally have ex- pressed B desire for this convention similar to the one held at New Or- leans last January. The South has won a notable victory in handling her great staple crop since that time and it is but meet and proper that the people should come together and rejoice over great blessings which they have enjoyed and to emphasize their determination to continue the present reign of prosperity through the future. There arc many things of The great development of in the fourteen Southern States is set forth by figures taken from The Record, of Baltimore, and secured from other sources, all of which are reliable. In manufactured products the from 1880 to 1890 was from a valuation of to in 1900 the figures were 11,000,000,000, while for 1905 the valuation is placed at The output of pig iron in 1880 was tons, and this year it is In the Southern States had invested in cotton mills, operating spindles, while ten years later the amount invested in the industry and the of spindles; this year is invested and there are spindles. These mills now con bales of cotton, as against only bales in The possibilities of the industry are shown in the statement that there are in the world a total of spindles and the South can supply cotton for while there are in the section in which the staple grows but spindles. These figures would seem to indicate that, other tilings being equal, there is no danger of too many mills be built in the South. This sec- raises the staple and it should also manufacture the greater part it, thus to greater extent reaping the benefit to be derived therefrom Twenty live years ago there were but cotton oil mills in the South, with a capital stock of and in most places cotton seed were regarded as worthless, being used mainly for Idling gullies and fertilizer. Now there are cotton oil mills in operation and their total capitalization is more than half the amount in- vested cotton manufacture in this sec ton. The figures quoted above give me idea of the rapidity with which the Southern States are coining to the front in the matter of and are indeed gratifying. Taken in connection with the fact this development may now be said to have only fairly begun they paint a most glowing picture for the future. Charlotte Observer.
