STATE RIGHTS.
To those who have followed
with auy degree of interest our
' course, since we entered upon
what might be called a jyt<a?t pub
lic career, it is unecessary for us
to say that we are uncompromis
ingly u i* advocate of Stale rights
On the political hustings aud in
general conversation, we huve
upheld the theory that a Slate
is sovereign, nud that under the
Constitution of the United States
U has supreme jurisdiction over
ull its luterual affairs, this meau
ing naturally immuuity from
federal interference. It was
the attempt at such interference
that brought 011 the civil war,
01)4 not the question of human
Shivery as quite a u umber of our
people and those of the North
Still believe The main questiou
during that "tremendous conflict
was lost sight of after llie Abo
litionists forced President Lin
coln into the act of signing the
Decree of Independance, so tho
war was really fought out on the
m nor issue.
We recall with pleasure the
(act that only about three years
Ago we delivered an address be
fore ^ reunion of Confederate
teteraus in which we laid par
ticular stress upon the fact that
tho* overborne by numbers, our
lyomen and children made home
)e$s and reduced to the point of
#tyrvai*or< by ruthless tuvaders
#f our soil, our men in the field
were compelled to yield, uol to
tfortI)ern antagonists, but to for
Sign bought r/flf raff, tho Pede
ral government ljad not from the
4ute of surrender to the present,
4ared to |ay the H'e?ght of a tin
ger qu (*uy right claimed by u
$tute.
Since that proud boust a
phange has coine over tho spirit
our dreams. The Federal
Qoverutqent ha$ and is attempt
ing to interfere in tho rights of
0 State to govern and control its
internal affairs. Tho first in
Sj?noe tljftt conjes to our notice
was an attempt by a Federal
Jfudge to ride roughshod over
governor Glenn of North Caro
Una. Ttyat little matter the
Qoverum' disposed of in short
order with admonition to the
flourt to Ijo good and not do so
Ony more. Now comes another

ST ATE MUST BORROW.
I
Borrowing: for Current
State Expenses.
It now seems practically cer
taiu' thut us a result of the leg
islature's heavy appropriations
the state will reach high water
mark iu the borrowing line. At
the time the appropriation bill,
which with other bills carrying
appropriations totals $1,600,000
was pussed, there was on hand
after payiug the notes of last
fall and summer amounting to
$350,000, the state treasurer had
on huud $272,000, with $369,242
more to oome on the levy of lust
year. This *vilh what will come
i.i during November and Decem
ber on the new levy of live mills
will bring the total availuble for
tike year up to less than $850,000,
including an estimuted income of
?200, 090 from indirect and other
sources. In other words to meet
the current ex[>enses of the year
it will be necessary to borrow
over u half a million, possibly
as much us $700,000 or $800,000.
Tlie debate iu both legislative
Ir.ills during the last few days of
the session showed that the
members sought to crre the evil
or the heavy appropriations by
raising tiie levy half a mill.
The very simple fact "that r.o
part of the tuxes under the new
\evy would be available till No
veuiber appears to have been
entirely lost sight of. Taxes
are duo beginning iu October,
but the penalties do not upply
till the spring of the following
year with the result that a large
portion of the taxes never reacli
Llie state treasurer's office til!
January aiul February, the pen
ulty in those mouths being onlv
one per cent for each month.
Executions do not issue till the
middle of March.
Before the appropriation bil
came from the ways und tueaiu
committee the foliowiug ver^
plain statement from the comp
troller general was on the desks
of members:
"The estimated expeuses ol
the state government for 1906
are $1,422,232.30. It appears
that if the appropriations do not
exceed the estimated expenses
it will require of the taxes ol
1908 $81,840, and as no part ol
these taxes will be available be^
fore November 1, it is apparent
that the state must borrow
$375,000 to pay ex (tenses before
the taxes of 1908 are available.
The state's revenue for 190b
from taxes estimated uud based
upon the present assessment ol
$2b7,438,030 at a rate of 4 3 4
iniils oil the dollar, would realize
$1,1)^0,330. To this add from iu
direct and other sources $173,
700 and we have a total estimated
revenue of $1 ,444.030 If the es
timated expenditures, ,422,
232, are not exceeded, a state
levy of 4 3 4 mills will pay all
expenses und leave a surplus of
$21,798."
The comptroller general's es
timute for the new .year included
such extra appropriations us
$o0,000 for rural high schools,
$7,500 due on the purchase of
the police barracks for the cita
del, $25, ( 00 for increase in Con
federate pensions, $15,000 for
state house grounds, $25,000 for
election expenses und other ad
ditional items amounting to $30,
000.- Ex.

t A KM HItS UNION NOTES.
Your local or county union is
about as good as its members
make it. Good material well put
together makes a first class house;
though we have seen some shack
ly buildings thrown togetuer out
or good material, and some good
buildings well made out of very
ordinary material bp men who
knew their business. Farmers'
Unions are built ou similar plans.
Our Farmers' Union need men
with unusual ability for organi
zers; we need men with diplo
macy, strength and conserva
tism, who posess the tact to do
effective work in welding the
different factions ol our farmers
into one harmonious compact of
the whole. The time for ora
tonal spread eagle speeches and
resulutions of hell and damna
tion to Wall Street and cotton
exchanges has passed. We have
got to get together and do the
right thing first ourselves, then
we can approach others with a
clear conscience and win out.
Abuse, bluff nor slander, can
ever bring strong men of worth
into the union. We must have
good men to go after good meu.
