NORTH CAROLINA'S BIG -FOUR,

When in their right mind, the peopI,
of North Carolina will not submit tr
| boss rude. They have been from the
settlement of the colony rcstive of no
straint and hostile to amy attempt to con
troll their actions. Now and then some
man has sought to control them for his
own ends. Not one in all the HISTORY
Of the State has succeeded long.
The State is to-day dominated bt
four selfish bosses, who rule it for nor.
sonal or political ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and
who act us if the two, million people
were their chattcls. Jcter Pritchard
and Marion Butler, in the L. S. Senate
both first elected by an unholy trade
and Pritcllard reelected by bribery and
corruption, act as If they thought they
owned the State and had the right tc
do with it his best advanced their am.
billions.
Here at home Daniel l.. Russell and
Alexander Il. Andrews, twin supporters
of Mckinley, demand that the State
shall be divided into two camps. re-.
curing all men to wear either the Rus
sell or the Andrews yoke. The FIRST
is choIe1ic. full of spleen, and wholly
unfit for the high office to which money
and corporate influence elected him. Tn,
second regards the State as province oil
the Southern Railway, having the same
kind of politics that jay Gould said Ind
had: "Whcn | ann in a Republican dis
trict, | am II Republican,; in "a Demo
cratic district, Democrat; in II Green
back district, II Greenbacker, but l am 4
Missouri Pacific railroad man every
time"
The time has come for the manhood
of the people to assert itself. AS lOng a,
the State is dominated by adj or either
of these men, acting together or in vic
lent opposition to each other, just 81
long will present conditions exist. If the
voters are sons of their fathers they vii
repudiate each one of the big four, ant
turn for leadership to brave and homes
men land we have plenty of them wht
follow in the footsteps Of Nathanic
Macon and Xcbulon Vance, the TIVE
greatest men the State has produced.
Let us rule ourselves and have done
with the Big -Four, who fighting ans
uuarrelling or agreeing, have weariCt
and disgusted the whole State.
Let us go back to the time when NortI
CaroIinians were men-not vaSsals ant
slaves.

1t was a significant fact that the only

congress in voting s5000O,GO0 into the

than he took occasion to criticize it.
The report of his remarks then pub

Anthracite for Naval PURPOSES

The recent action of the Commercial
club of Wilkes-Barre in urging upon
congress the superior merits of an
thracite as compared with bituminous
coal as fuel for naval purposes has met
with unexpected Endorsement. The
Washington Post says:
Nearly every officer who has com,
manded one Of our ships during the
past few Years has had personal knowl-
edgelof accidents narrowly aVerted as
the result of combustion in the coal
bunkers next to the ships magazine.
The report of the naval board, recently
published. shows that on more than
twenty occasions within the immediate
past combustion in the coal bunkers
has occurred and tragedies have been
avoided by the merest accident OF dis.
covery. Frequently the steel bulkhead
between the bunkers ana the magazine
has been found red hot and the wooden
shelves on which the powder incased
In metal tubes was stored were charred
by the intense heat. The fact that
these conditions We're known in time
does not affect the fact that the peril
is constantly at hand.
What is said about the evil effects
of SOFT coal smoke is equally pertinent.

evade discovery. Why should the gov
ernment expend millions on smokeless
powder and yet, in order to save a
few cents per ton, adhere to the dirty
and dangerous soft coal which neutral
ICES every advantage secured by that
expenditure? 1t is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that, in the naval
maneuvers last year. the squadron
being under command Of Admiral
Bunce, the smoke from the ships fun
nels constituted quite as serious an
obstacle to accurate practice as the
smoke from the old-fashioned powder
would have done. The question raised
by the Wtkes- Barre people is worthy
of the most serious attention. Every
naval officer of experience will say So"
These confessions are the more re-
markable when we remember that the
Post is published in a community
largely interested in bituminous coal
mining. We believe that the advant-
ages of anthracite on board war ships
in cruise or ia action would be much
more than sufficient to offset the larger
cost, and II is possible that this fact
will yet be brought effectively TO the
attention of the navy department..
