of the Democratic ticketwas repudi-
ated in North Carolina. That differ
ence Is Il 900.
1t is true that all this majority may
not have gone to any one man nor to
any several men, but IL also true that
it was against the head Of the Demo-
cratic ticket, and We can make moth
ing less Of it than . defeat Of the DEM
ocratic ticket by II ,O00:xAJoKITY.

We understand that certain gold
men continue to claim that they
have some Populiss members of the
legislature pledged to vote for q
"sound money" man for the United
States Senate. The CAUCASIAN
wants to go on record again as say
ing that We do not believe there is
any foundation for any such absurd
claim. In fact we denounce it as
false.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-11-19

There has recently been a deal by
which many thousands of acres of
the State lands in Dare county have
been sold to somebody. This has
been conducted with strange quiet,
and the man who thinks that there
is not some pretty scheming in this
matter is very much behind the pro-
cessiOn.

TIE ISSUE AS DEAD AS THE PARTY.
a few days after the election it was
pretty generally suggested that the
Democrats would make another fight
in the next election, and that their is
sue would be the "color line" Well,
We shall not be surprised to see this
attempted. That issue is dead, OF
course-as dead as Judas Iscariot; but
then the Democratic party is about
dead and nothing better can now be
expected from that source.
But lei US suppose that there is some
life in that party, and that it attempts
to bring that bogy old issue forward.
What could they do with it? 1t is
stated that the census of 1890 gives the
number Of white men Of voting age in
this State at 233 900. There has been
some increase since 1890, and it will be
a very conservative statement to say
that there are now as many as 245,0OO
WHiLC "NOltIS III Tic OlaLc.
The Democrats did all they could to
just closed, and if it be admitted that
every man who voted for Cyrus B.
Watson, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, was a white man, it will be
seen that Watson received BUT LITTLE
OVER HALF THE WHITE VOTE OF THE
STATE!
For out of total of 245,OOO white
votes, he received, in round numbers
about 10000. This makes it appear
that there are 1l5,O00> white voters in
North Carolina who will either vote
against the Democrats or who will not
vote for them.
Now isn't the above beautiful ba-
sis for the Demys to try to revive the
old bugabOo cry of "nigger" upon!!
Actually there are about as many
white voters against the Democratic
party as there are in sympathy
with it, and yet these Dems
announce that they will try to
bring back among progressive and
honest people the ridiculous old "scare
crew" of generation ago, and make
it work. Verify, it seems that the
poor old Democratic party is on its
last legs
Let these facts be noted NOW and re-
membered hereafter. The figures may
make it appear that there are more
white men outside the Democratic
party than there are in it.

SOME SCHEMES OF THE LOOTERs,

The Democrats have made some
great efforts to trade off the States
interest during the past two years,
and in some cases have been success
ful-or at least they think they have.
Last year the Democratic State
administration leased the North
Carolina railroad for ninety nine
years at price that was ridiculous
ly and scandalously low as compared
with the true rental worth of that
property. If it can be arranged SO
that the inside Of this deal can be
shown up, there will be something
for the people to wonder at.

Cotton.

With careful rotation Of
crops and liberal fertilizations,
cotton lands will improve. The
application of a proper ferd-
lizer containing sufficient Pot
ash often makes the difference
between a profitable crop and
failure. Use fertilizers contain

Great Scott! But haven't these
Denis gone into the secret deal and
looting business pretty strongly. 1t
seems that their policy is to take ev-
erything the State has and turn it
over to some trust or syndicate with
out letting the public or people know
anything about it. If in the course of
the next two years the people do not
congratulate themselves on having
wiped out the Dem. gang that has
been infesting the State offices, we
will pay the bet.

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-11-19

And now this same Democratic
administration is making strenuous
effort to put the Atlantic and North
Carolina railroad, which is practi-
cally owned by the State, into the
hands of some syndicate. Every
thing had been arranged to make
this deal as quietly and secretly as
the other railroad deal was made,
but the representatives of the people
got some knowledge Of the affair,
and the matter has been stopped,
temporarily at least, by restrain
ing order from Judge Robinson.

The price hereafter will be $1.OO

80 cents for three months. This
statement settles the future subscrip-
ton price for ,"off" years, ION"

English Government Organ Bears Testi-
mony Of Uncle Sans Magnanimlty.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-the Standard,
conservative government organ says:
1.-The cabinet on Saturday decided
to publish the Venezuela papers at the
earliest possible moment
I'VE gladly take this opportunity to
bear Testimony to the magnanimous
attitude OF the American nation to US
at a time when communities less gen.
erous thought a favorable opportunity
had arisen for adopting toward us q
tone of insult, if not of menace. This
conduct was worthy of the Americans
and has materially influenced Lord
Salisbury's decision.
"The maintenance of friendship
with America is always first consid-
Grafton with England. We say this to
the Amirican people with the absolute
candor of deep seated cordiality."

WARCLOUDS SCATTER
ENGLAND THINKS SHE HAS
SCARED OFF GERMANY.
John Bull Il Conl1dsnt That His Great
Blustef and Show Of etrsnGth has
Cooled on the Fiery Young War Lord Of
Germany-vlsIons Of Future Trouble.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-lnterest in the
Transvaal question in its immediate
bearings has revived to an appreciable
extent, while the incidental straining
of relations between Great Britain and
Germany, which SO completely placed
the Beers in the background of the
nicture for time, has, in its turn, re-
ceded, but by no means disappeared.
There is little apprehension of war
with Germany, over the present COM
plication, at least, and the British
public has q reassuring sense that if
there is to be a war. England is quite
ready for it. The prompt and efficient
measures of the naval authorities, and
the formidable show of strength that
is the result, give John Bull a feeling
of confidence.
There are no further explicit an
nouncements of movements looking to
an alliance of the p0wersa against Eng
land to-day. Nevertheless, it is kcenly
perceived by the public that the senti-
ment displayed by the German gov
eminent has a far wider bearing than
the present dispute of the Transvaal,
and there are visions of future compli-
cations on questions of conflicting in
tercStS.

up and robbed the night agent at the

tn ty, and two men who were wait
in train. They crept into the

covered G. S. Knox, the agent, with a
revolver, the other compelled j.

and Carl Fortiner of Olathe,
Kan, to throw up their hands.
Then they were marched into the
ticket Office and the three were forced
to line up with their faces to the wall
and submit to a search. Knox was re-
lieved of pistol, gold watch and
chain and small amount of change
and Kinney and FOrtiner were robbed
of . few dollars each. One of the
thieves then stood guard over the men
while the other robbed the COM
pany's safe. The agent says only
$34 of the company's money was
taken.

spent twenty minutes ransacking the

sponsible. The court holds that nay
