WOULD BE POLITICAL SUICIDE

Kinston Free Press.
The Newborn Journal argues that be-
cause Northern banks are congested with
money at low rates of interest. the per
cent interest law ought to be repeated.
The Journal says this law has taken
away money from North Carolina TO
other States and made money harder TO
got in this State.
The Journal is entirely wrong in its
conclusions. A higher rate than 6 per
cent. would not attract the 49, per cent
money of the money centers any more
than the 9 per cent. rate. That Is timid
money that is looking for gilt-edged sc.

pie Glove him for the enemies he has
made"

A few months ago there were sugges-
tons, emenating from those who desired
to have the Democratic party return to
Clevelandism, that Organism was dead
and that he would never again be the
leader of the Democracy. Even some Of
the supporters of Mr.. Bryan feared that
he might be supplanted as the popular
idol of the party. This feeling is rapidly
passing away, and it is becoming clear
that Mr. Bryan is stronger in the af!ec-
tons of the people, and is the undisputed
leader of the Democratic party.
In 1896, Mr.. Bailey, the leader Of the
House, was not Bryan man. Recently
he has declared that Bryan is the leader
of the party and will be it's nominee for
President in 1900. His friends say that
he has grown into great admirer Of
RYAN upon better knowledge of the Ne
braskan. His enemies say that he is a
shrewd politician and has boarded the
Bryan train because he sees that Bry-
anism is so popular that no man can
safely oppose it. In either event, this
is one of the straws that show how
strong Bryan is today.
Yesterdays New York Journal had a
very appreciative editorial on Bryan
to Lead Again" which we copy in anoth-
err column. 1t had been whispered about
that the Journal wanted a new leader
Dr. nt,te
nation. This editorial efrectually sets
that whisper to rest. Yesterdays Jour
nal also prints interviews with twenty
three United States Senators and ninety
nine Representatives who agree that
Bryan is the leader and financial reform
the issue ''The Journals poll of the
upper and lower House shows unanimity
in this opinion" says that paper. From
the column of interviews in the Journal,
we quote few
Champ Clark, of Missouri-"Nobody
is thinking of any other candidate or
leader than Mr.. Bryan, nor of any 9th
err issue than free silver. OF course
other matters will attain sufficient inn
y
nent in the platform. but the people are
still thinking about their money matters.
If the Republican majority passes the
Gage bill. we will beat them hands
down."
Senator Martin. Of Virgin'a-"The Chi
cago platform and Bryan are as strong
as ever in VIRGINIA"
Richard p. Bland. of Missouri-"Sure-
" in Mr. Bryan and the financial ques-
ton. we have the man and the cause"
In North Carolina. Mr.. Bryan is more
norular. if possible than in 1896. and the
Democrats will send solid delegation
TO the National Convention in 1900, in
structed to vote as a unit for Bryan and
the issues of 1896. While his strong
protest against imperialism may injure
him in some sections the people of
North Carolina rejoice that he did not lis

because ii might hurt his prospects for
the Presidency. His was the first voice
in America heard against Imperialism.

politicians were afraid TO speak I:ry IN

And that is why he is the Democratic

Tn the Spring of 1869 | commenced to
run a milk wagon in the town OF Wads-
worth and ] don't think there has been
a day since that time that the wagon
has not made one or two trips daily up
to the present time. / will retire from
the dairy business on the last day OF
December, 1898, having disposed of por-
ton of my ranch and the good will OF
my dairy business to John Garaventa
whom | have no doubt will serve the
people OF Wadsworth as faithfully as l
have and / hope they will give him a
liberal share of their patronage. Simon
Flown, who has been my butter maker
for the past fifteen months, will remain
at the dairy and have full charge OF the
milk and butter which will be a guaran-
tee that everything will be all right. A
friend of his will assist him and N.
Echieverria. whom most of you know,
will drive the delivery wagon. The
change of name Of the proprietors is
about all the change you will see.
| desire at this time TO thank the peo-
pie OF Wadswortlr for their liberal pat
ronage through all these years and ask a
continuance OF the same in the remain
ing portion OF my business.
Wishing yon a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year, | remain,

WadsWorth Refuses to Pay.

Five years ago the township OF Wads-
worth issnel bonds TO the amount OF
$1,000 to raise money for public improve
ments. The bonds were ten in mum Der
anl for 500 apiece. Three OF them
were Disposed OF in this city-No. s to
Virginia Lodge, L. o. y. +. and Nos. 8
and 10 to private individuals residing
here. This year the bonds fell due, but
when presented for payment, they were
repndiated. the town OF Wadsworth de-
Ginning to pay the last years interest on
bond No. 8 and utterly refusing any pay
ment whatever on the principal of bonds
No. 8 and 10, OF which is owned by a
widow. The debt is a just one and
should be paid as contracted. Wads-
worth cannot plead lack of money, as
the necessary cash could be taken from
the general fund, and application made
to the legislature, for relief, which, there
is no doubt, would be readily granted.
The reputation OF a just debt by a
township is just a d~isgraceful as by an
individual, and not only ruins forever
the credit OF that community, bnt in
juries that of other towns in the state
which are honest enough to pay their
debts.-Virginia Report.
1t is probable that the alleged repu-
diation consists in County Treasurer
Boyd not having the money in the fund
to take up the bonds If they are due, a
condition of affairs arising through
faulty legislation and not through any
intent to repudiate the payment of the
bonds. If there is a shortage it can be
remedied by legislation during the COM
