MUSHROOM SENATOR.

Asheville Daily Gazette.
Brother Hilliard OF the Scotland
Neck COMMONWEALTH says:
"a mushroom growth In anything is
not permanent. One sudden bound in
the life of a man who has no we'll
wrought foundation on which to stand,
seldom is maintained to the end. One
sudden bound to fortune by one who
has had no experience and toll and res
possibility, seldom lasts the man
through his lifetime"
He was writing about "boom towns =
but evidently had in mind a certain
mushroom" who now draws the salary
of United States senator for North
Carolina, by whose aid negro suprema-
cy was reestablished in this State, and
who affiliates with Russell in base
methods not only to destroy decent
government in the State, but who scam
dalizes everything he touches. And is
the same sanity "friend of the farm
ers," who refused to vote against tar
if that taxed everything his constitu-
ents have to buy, including cotton bag
ging and ties, and left their cotton on
the free list. Such quick growths will
not last.

Editor The Commonwealth =
The sad intelligence that Scotland
Neck is to have negro postmaster
came to me like thunderbolt from a
clear sky.
Is it possible that dear old Scotland
Neck, the pride OF our county, a seat of
learning and refinement, Is to be SO des-
ecrated by the so-called Napoleon OF
the Republican party! Shame on the
chief executive of our nation, that he
should so far forget himself, as to do
such thing.
As you SO truthfully remarked in
your able editorial of Sept. Both, "What
have they ever accomplished for them
selves?" They are only the tools of
others.
deplore the circumstance, and not
since I left home IA years ago have I
telt that dear old North Carolina need
ed my vote so much. And yet, a
man who was born and reared among
those who taught me better, both
by example and precept, so far forgot
myself and my early training that l
voted for this very man who has re-
Gently thrust upon the good people of
my honored home such an incubus. I
humbly ask forgiveness OF the entire
State, and solemnly promise never to
commit such another offense.
The time-honored Jeffersonian Dem
ocracy was good enough for my fore
fathers, and surely I have no right to
presume that possess a superior judg-
ment. Mr.. Mckinley would not dare
make such an appointment in this
country. The appointee would be
drummed out of the town. The negro
is not tolerated here at all, only on
campaign years, and then only for his
vote, as with the political bosses in the
South. What can be done about it?
The only solution of the question
which presents itself to me is the ballot
box. Work Work day and night to
bring about fusion between the grand
old Democracy and that worse than
useless offshoot, the populists.
Reunite the disrupted old party and
see that every man who is old enough
casts his vote. Take them from their
sick beds if necessary, for he is hero
indeed who Will make an effort to save
his community from such abomlna
tiOns.
| Do I blame the negro? No! He
would be fool indeed not to accept re-
Enumeration from his political bosses
who, by all the chicanery known te
wlre-pulling politicians force them
selves upon a community where thei1
very presence creates political pesti
lence of rottenness unknown to the
respectable citizen.
To the polls To the polls every
responsible and thinking citizen and
crush out this ever menacing demon
Populism. Very truly yours,

DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN RALEIGH.

The News & Observer of Tuesday
gave a most horrible account of dou-
BILE tragedy in Raleigh. Albert Wat
son, a young machinist, became crazed
by drink, and in fit of madness shot
his beautiful young wife and then shot
himself. He died in few hours, but
his wife may live.
They we're married last July and
were happy and hopeful until the
drink habit returned upon MIN. Once
or twice the girl had discarded him on
account OF his habits. but under his
solemn promise to refrain she married
him, and has thus come to grief all too
soon.
