BECAUSE HE IS A LAWYER.
One of the Reasons Urged Against
rlr. Simmons In His Candidacy for
United States Senatorship.

Col. Robert L. Abernethy. Of Lin
coin county, who has just closed a
!ive-year contract with Gen. j. S. Carr,
AZ general overseer of his Occonnee-
chez Farm, in lengthy article gave
as one of the reasons why Gen. Carr
should be chosen Senator rather than
MIR. Simmons, the fact that Mr.. Sim
mons is lawyer and Gen. Carr is not.
MIR. Brevard Nixon, Of Charlotte, thus
replies to Col. Abernethy's argument
through the Observer of that city:
1t has been charged by ''Col." Rob
ert L. Abernethy and DR.. Faison that
Messrs Simmons and Waddell should
not be nominated for Senator at this
time because they are lawyers. This
is the first time l have ever heard a
Democrat contending that another
Democrat should not be elected TO
Office because he is a lawyer. The
Populists formerly made this argu-
ment against Democrats, but have
ceased to do so since Senator Butler,
seeing the necessity OF law-maker
being lawyer, studied law and was
admitted to the bar himself.
1t is as necessary for legislator to
be lawyer as it is for carpenter to
understand his trade, or physician
to know the sciences.
The term lawyer means one versed
in laws. The term includes the idea
of an officer OF the court legally quail
fed to prosecute and defend action,
but is generic, and has a broader scope
of meaning, as Mr.. Abernethy well
knows.
Government includes the idea OF an
established form Of laws and the ad-
ministration of these laws. There
can be no government without law.
He who is yersed in the arts OF gov
ernment, eminent for his political
abilities and employed in public affairs
is a statesmen without at the same
time being lawyer. With but few
executions, North Carolina has been
always represented in the Senate by
statesmen. 1t is admitted by MIR.
| Carr's friends that he is no lawyer IN
any sense OF that term. His friend:
do not claim that he is versed in the
arts of government. or eminent 1oi
his political abilities or been employ
ed in public affairs. 1t therefore fol
lows that they lay no claim OF states
manship for him. =.
We admire Mr.. Carr for his busi
ness success, and we love him for hi:
patriotism and philanthrophy. A
man. however, may succeed in busi'
ness and accumulate millions, but
this is no part Of craftsmanship. a
man, moved by his own good VII
towards mankind. may dispense mil
lions to the poor and needy, but this
is not one of the constituent element:
of craftsmanship. A man may be
moved by love of country to supPor
and defend it's interest, but this doe
not constitute craftsmanship. Wealth
philantrophy and patriotism may al
be incidents of the life of the states
man. but cannot be constituents.
1t seems, therefore. to follow tina
either Mr.. Simmons or Col. Waddell
who are both statesmen, should b.
elected Senator.

l have had opportunity to estimate
how the Democrats of Cumberland
feel as to who should be our Senator
to succeed Butler, and my opinion is
that the magnificent and incompar-
able Simmons is the man above all
others.
He has led us through three cam
paigns and has always led us to vic
tory. He has demonstrated his great
ability, his unselfish patriotism and
love of State and devotion to the rule
Of the white man.
1t is true that he is poor man.
Shall that be considered an objection
to his entrance in the United States
Senate? If SO, where shall we find
the patriots who will lead the masses
OF the people in their support OF the
doctrines Of elf-government? Mr..
Simmons is the foremost Democrat
in North Carolina today. If Mr.. But
ler and the Republicans are endea vor-
ing to induce their followers to V, e
the Democratic ticket, qualifying
themselves to vote for Senator for
the purpose Of voting against the
great leader of the white men Of
North Carolina, then it is a self-evi-
dent proposition that every "white
supremacy Democrat" should be un-
alterably for Simmons, the leader Of
the white men of the Old North State
From all l can learn 80 per cent. of
the Democracy Of Cumberland favor
Simmons as the white man Senator.
The pure Democracy of Cumber-
land county are not ungrateful and
will testify to their appreciation of
their matchless leader on the 9Th day
of November.
The personal attacks upon Mr..
Simmons will be fruitless and the
opinion of the true Democracy is that
''those who live in glass houses should
not throw the first stone"
The personal and private record of
Mr.. Simmons is open to the world,
and his friends dare his opponents
to challenge it. Can those who now
traduce him make the same challenge?
Simmons has led us out of the will
derness and is he not the Moses whom
we should follow?
Notwithstanding the opposition of
the Republicans and Populists, we
are thankful that few of the white
supremacy Democrats of North Caro-
lima have surrendered to Butler and
Pritchard.
Mark my prediction, Cumberland
being white mans county, will roll
up not less than 1000 majority for
F. Nj. Simmons, the leader of the
hosts of the North Coralina Democ-
racy.
The untQrrified are for him.

CATION Of other attributes which are

''She is mans greatest earthly
blessing, and the cause OF most of his
misery. She is his chief inspiration
to the achievement of all that is good,
grand and glorious in this world, and
at the same time q labor-saving de-
vice to help him make a fool of him
self. She soothes his tired nerves
with the coo Of her gentle voice, but
she always has the last word in every
controversy with him-and, incident
ally, about 81 per cent. of the pre-
ceding conversation. She brings him
into the world, and a few years later
talks him to death.
''Most Of mans trouble is caused
by woman, but so deftly does she
pile the load on him that whenever
his burden of trouble is lifted he
wanders uneasily about hunting for
more-otherwise, there would be very
few second wives. She will cheer
fully 60 to the stake for the truths
sake, and lie about her age without
even being asked. She will grow
weary of an indulgent husband. will
cleave unto death to the man who
beats her regularly. She will break
her heart because man does what
she doesn't want him to do, and love
him all the better for SO doing.
''She scorns all advice in the selec-
ton of a husband, but takes two
other women along to help her pick
out hat. The less actual comfort to
be obtained from thing, the more
enjoyment a woman gets out Of its
possession. At 16 she is young
woman; at 25, if still unmarried, she
is a girl. She will face the grim
spectre of death without a tremor,
and swoon at the sight of mouse.
The only time she ever does what you
expect her to do is when you expect
her to do what you don't expect her
TO do. The sole reason why she does
anything is simply because she don't
know why she does it. She jumps at
Conclusions and always lands on them
squarely, for the simple reason that
when the conclusion skips to one
side, thinking to avoid her, it gets
exactly in her way. She is the dear
est thing in all the world, and the
moet aggravating. She is as she is
and that's all there is to do about it.
The only man who ever fully under
stands woman is the man who un-
derstands that he don't understand
her, and has got sense enough to let
it 20 at that"

reKINLEY MAKE lis ED.

The President has carried his point
and whipped into line enough Re
publican Senators to pass his bill
taxing the poor Porto Ricans
"a-coming and a-gwiue. " Porto
Rico is denied free trade with the
United States, of which it is now a
territory, but is required to pay
tariff duties on its products shipped
into this country. The islands
came to us voluntarily to escape the
burdens of Spanish taxation with
out representation and the Presi-
dent has betrayed the confidence of
the con6ding and liberty
loving people who asked for
relief and has committed himself to
these same odious principles, that
caused the American colonies to
throw off the yoke Of Great Britain
and induce the Porto Ricans to ask
for annexation TO the United States.
Coming to us as willing subjects,
we refuse them the liberty they
sought and proceed to tax them as
colonists, denied representation in
congress. 1t matters not what the
tariff rates may be fixed at. 1t is
not the amount involved but the
principle involved. Senator Mason,
Republican, declared in hisspeech |
against the bill that it violates the
constitution itself and that congress
has no more right to tax the pro
ducts of Porto Rico than it has to
put duty on products passing be-
tween New York and Washington.
Editor Kohlsaat, of the Chicago
warns the Presl-
dent that he is trifling with the ma
ton S honor and that the people
will never submit to the uniusttaxa-
ton of any part Of the
United States.
We live in a republic and not an
empire. Porto Rico is a territory
and not colony and will some day
be a State and not a possession to
be taxed without representation.
President Mckinley has whipped
his bill through the Senate by 9
majority and its passage in the
House is assured by few votes. He
has committed himself and his party
to Imperialism in its most odiods
form, form that strikes at the very
basis of our institutions. A new
issue greater for the time being
than the financial question, the
trust question, or the expansion
question has been brought into the
opening campaign. 1t is one that
Democrats welcome.
They will meet the imperialists
at Philippi in November.
