Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday. J. F. CLINKSCAI.ES, \ EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROPRIETORS. TERMS ; ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 60 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 14. 1904. One thing i? certain; thc Republi can managers realize this is to be no 1896-1900 campaign. There in no bulging in the dough bag. - mt . - ? - Hester's annual cotton report shows that while thc crop of 190:: was 710, 185 bales less than the preceding year it brought $139,000,000 more money. .- tm 9 mm- - Gov. Odell, of New York, has done the clever thing in appointing a Demo crat Chief Justice of New York Htate ,o succeed Judge Parker. The ap pointee is Judge Edgar AI. Cullen, of Brooklyn. A cicero was lynched at I.oraimc, Wyoming, recently for slashing a white girl with a razor. Wyoming is a good Republican State, and those Republican papers that have been saying so much about thc Southern lynchings will have some trouble to explain the Wyoming affair. General family reunions seem to bc coming more and more into vogue in this part of the world. They might bc turned to great practical account if at each such gathering a chronicler be appointed to take down the pro ceedings and the reminiscences. We need more family records kept in this country. New England has been doing this sort of thing ever since the dayB of the pilgrim fathers, v/c are told, and it is one thing in which we should follow her example. .w- IBM m> mmm There arc many who are advising the farmers to hold their ootton for higher prices, confident that thc large demand will offsot thc size of the crop. The Intelligencer is not enough of a "??tton expert to tell the farmers what to do on this line. It is largely a question for thc cxrrciso of their wits and best judgment, Tbcy will not have this year, in all probability, the help of a strong bull clique as was the case last Beason,but nevertheless they ought to get good prices for their staple. College presidents, members of faculties and high minded students are manifesting increased zeal in purifying contests in baseball and other sports from every taint of pro fessionalism and thc desire to "make money" in a commercial Bpirit out of amateur games. This an admirable work, and will prove to be so effec tive that grounds of suspicion against the good faith and sensitive honor of managers and members of teaniB and crew: and kindred organizations rep k resenting celebrated universities and schools will speedily disappear. It is generally estimated that thc total vote cast in November will bc in the neighborhood of 15,000,000. li interest becomes intense, this figure may be exceeded, but in any event it will hardly be decreased. There are Bevon presidential tickets among whioh this voto is to be divided. It is hardly probable according to the best politioal students, that the five minor tiokcts will together poll loss than 1,000,000, while they may go above this figure. There will bc left in the neighborhood of 14,000,000 to be divided between tho leading candi dates. W. E. King, a negio editor down in Galveston, Tex., takes a sensible view of the rsoe question and lectures his people plainly in the columns of his paper. He admonishes them that no one will respect them so long as the bulk of them are "lazy, shiftless, characterless, and inclined to copy the vices of tho whites while ignoring their virtueB." "What the negro needs," he ssys, "is work six days in the week and every week in the year." Editor King is right. It is the gospel of work whioh is going to redeem the negro, and tho sooner he discovers it the better it will he for him. It is plain talk. Perhaps, it may be pain ful to the negroes, but if they expect to have their rights, whatever they may be, they must show themselves worthy to have them, and understand that a lazy, ignorant, dissolute negro will be treated just as the same kind of a white man is. Lyman Ward, editor of the Indus trial Student and president of the Southern Industrial Institute, says, in speaking of a pair of pigs given to the Institute in 1900: "I cannot tell bow many pigs wo have raised from this pair. For three years now, we have raised much of our pork, and 'this last year all of it, and we have nearly forty hogs at present. We have 21 fino pigs from these we want to make a reoord. Tho boys are much interested in them, and when the pigs are nine months old I shall report. The life at Camp Bill cannot be bet ter illustrated than with these pigs. The piir cost but little/-indeed they were given to us-and yet by care and atteiiti'jti wc have received several hundred dollars from them." This statement from an (un (professional hog eulturi-jt ought to convince our far mers that there is profit in hog*. For years thc southern farmers have becu using their cotton money to lift mort gages on western farms for western farmers in exchange for white, flabby side meat, when they could have chased the waive note devil from the face of the earth by devoting one-half or two thirds of their time tc- cotton and more to the corn patch and hog pen. The waive note devil docs not hover over the farm where there are ample supplies of necessaries." Townville News. F. G. Brown, ol Anderson, visited I Dr. \V. K. Sharpe quite recently.

A Terrible Wreck on Hie Seaboard Rail way. Catawba Junction, Sept. 10.-Five dead and several in a dying condition is the result of the catastrophe which took place yesterday morning when the Seaboard passenger train No. 41 sped across a sinking bridge ?100 yards south of the Catawba river and two miles from Catawba Junction, and then plunged from the track down a steep embankment about HO feet high only to be followed by an extra freight engine No. 054, with a caboose attach ed, mingling the flyers in a mass of wood and steel and Iron with about 40 pieces of human caigo. There was not a single soul muong them that escaped unhurt. It was said by train mon of long ex perience that a more complete de molishmont of railroad equipment could scarcely Bo irnsgincu. Sc thor oughly ruined were tho engines and the coaches that the trainmen were on the point of setting Are to the de bris, but the authorities of York Coun ty stopped them The scene at the bridge beggars description. The en gines-huge, shapeless monsters of iron, with their nelmet-shaped sand boxeB and other parts scattered with in a radius of 100 feet. The coaches are like crushed wooden sheila, with their red plush seats in indescribable confusion; trucks, wrenched loose from the bottom of the cars, are scattered around; about tho only part or parcel of the railroad equipment remaining intact are the two red lan terns swinging from the rear of tho Pullman. There were many theories advanced to-day as to the cause of the accident. The railroad men fell in line with the opinion of George 8. Fitz water, chief executive of the Seaboard Air Line, that the collapse of the bridge and the tearing loose of the right hand rails, were the result of the work of some malicious person or persons. Afr. Fitzwater snowed six spikes and sev eral angle-bars which he picked up near the wreck and said that they bore the marks of having been tampered with. Upon this theory, it was con cluded that the passenger train had struck weakened spots on the lower half of the bridge. A apeed of 40 miles an hour had enabled the train to carry itself almost over the sinking structure, but the rails had widened; the Pullman, which did not quite clear the'chasm, acted as a drawback, the engine careened, tearing from their fastenings the rails on the right hand side going south, causing the train to be hurled over the embankment. What motive there could be for anyone to bring about such slaughter, and who the guilty persons might be, neither Mr. MU water nor the other railroad men attempted to explain. A close examination of tho rails, ties, road-bed and bridge were not productive of much light on thesubject, all appeared to be sound and solid. The rails on tho side where tho train toppled to de struction were twia?od to an arc shape. The track ia not in a curve in the vicinity; it stretches straight away for perhaps a mile. Deiner Items.
