NORM Carollna RepubIlcans.

Washington Republican,
The New York Graphic SCOOP
Melted Colonel Thomas B. Keogh,
chairman of the Republican State
central committee, Of North Carolina,
the other day long enough to insert its
interviewing syphon and extract some
valuable information relating to the
present and future of North Carolina
politics. The colonel gave out that
the Republicans believe they can carry
the State if thoroughly organized.
The course of the last legislature has
not benefited the Democratic party in
that State. Then, the revival of sec
tional animosities by the Democratic
element in congress has had a bad
effect. 1t must be remembered that
many thousands of men who have
acted with the Democratic party since
the negroes were enfranchised we're
Union men still. They would have
acted with the Republicans right
along, but they couldn't stand 2
suiragei couldn't swallow it all at
once. These original Union men are
Union men at heart still, and if there
is anything they hate it is to hear
men and women who ought to know
better, continually harping about the
lost cause. Colonel Keogh thinks
shat North Carolina may be carried
by the Republicans in 1880. A great
many who have never voted the Re-
publican ticket, he says, will vote it
IN future. He also believes that Gen.
Grant has a very strong following for
President in the State, and so has
Secretary Sherman. The Republicans
want Judge Thomas Settle, of North
Carolina, for Vice President.
This is all very we'll in theory and
on paper, but there is something be-
meath and beyond it to be reached and
overcome before the Republicans Of
North Carolina can hope to carry that
State for any Republican candidate.
There is now and there has been for
some time within the Republican
party OF that State elements of certain
disintegration and decay which must
be overcome and removed before there
can be a ray of hope for Republican
success there. y 4 There
is a class of native Republicans in
North Carolina who have a deeper
and more bitter hatred toward those
Republicans who are denominated
carpet-baggers than they entertain to-
ward the Democratic party. This
naturally begets a corresponding feel
ing on the part of the reviled and hated
carpet baggers, all of which dSturbs
the harmony and weakens the power
Of the party. 4 \ Il Before the
Republican party in North Carolina
can become healthy and strong, it must
expel from its organization these illib-
eral and unhealthy agencies which
continually weaken the party and its
prospects and hopes of success. Bury
the past with all its piques, preiudices
and hates. Take a new departure (;
determine to make any and all personal
sacrifices that stand in the way of uni
ty and fraternity, and then the Repub.
lican cause will vindicate itself in
power and success, as it does in Yer
mont, Iowa, or Minnesota. Without
this it cannot succeed, and to try is a
forlorn hope.

Death Of a Noted Scoichmnn.

Troy IN. " Budget, July I'll
Alexander Balm, who died Saturday
morning, in the Sixth ward, 81 years
| old, was in some respects a man OF
mark. He was a native of Edinburgh,
Scotland, and before he came to this
country, in 1848, was a leading and
well known man in that city. He was
at one time one of the proprietors and
the business manager Of the Edinburgh
| Courant, one of the Oldest of the
Scotch newspapers. We have before
us a copy of the first issue of the Cou-
rant, which was the property of the
deceased. 1t was " published by au-
thority," and bears date from Wed
nesday, IA, to Monday, 10, February,
1905" 1t is printed on a sheet 7 by
IL inches, and the only original arti-
Gle, outside Of some war news, and
three advertisements, is the following
The author hereof having the -.
instant, got an Act of her Majesty's
most Honorable Privy Council, to
Print and Publish the Foreign and
Home News thrise Weekly, viz: Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday, the same
will be continued from this day for
ward" Mr.. Balm had many other
relics and curiosities of Scotland in
the olden time, among which we're a
box made from the wood of Burns
Kirk Alloway and a portrait of Mrs.
Lockhardt. the daughter of Sir Wal
ter Scott. Scott died in 1882. Mr..
Balm, while living in Edinburg, en-
joyed the acquaintance of Sir Walter
Scott; of his son-in-law and historian,
Lockhart of Professor Wilson, of
James Hogg, the famous Ettrick
Shepherd, one OF the greatest ofScotch
poets and authors, who died in 1885,
and of several other literary celebri-
ties of that time. After Mr.. Balm re-
tired from the Edinburgh Courant, he
was a broker in that city. He came
to Troy in 1913, and had considerable
property up to that time, which, how
ever, gradually slipped away from him
with increasing years, until he was
compelled to accept the position of
time keeper at the rolling mills, where
he remained until after John A. Girls
wold's death. He was a very hospita-
BILE, genial and and pleasant person,
and was highly respected and esteemed
by all who knew him. He was a mem
Der of the Caledonian Society, which
will attend his funeral in a body this
afternoon.

DR.. Rozell, of this city, moved out and
located his family one milo this side
of Raleigh, the 10Th Of July, one day
after the yellow fever alarm was first
sounded. Shortly after he employed Q
colored servant to cook, who said she had
lived on Union street in the city and had
been working at q hotel in Raleigh fol
some days, when she was hired by DR.
Rozell. This woman took fever and
died at DR.. Rozell's house, and Miss Lizzie
Blake, his niece, having attended hel
during the time she was sick, and also
having f~requented the kitchen where tn,
woman served, herself contracted fever
from which she is now convalescing. The
cook woman's case did not differ in its
symptoms from bilious fever, but Mis-:
Blake had a we'll marked case Of genu.
inc Yellow Jack. 1t turned out upon
investigation that the cook had actually
lived on DeSoto street near Mulbrandon'i
house, and had never lived on Union
street as she stated. This accounts for the
way the yellow fever crept into DR.
Rozell's family.
