SOME TRUE DEFINITIONS
Statesyille Mascot.

StatesvilIe Mascot
We hear the words conservative and
extreme" frequently applied TO Demo-
Gratis these days Observation leads us to
believe that the self-styled 'conserva-
tives'' are those who believe in nothing
Democracy stands for and who vote the
Democratic ticket because they are
ashamed to vote for the Republican nomi-
nees. Those whom the self-righteous dub
extremes" are the thick and thin Demo-
Gratis who fight the party's battles and
make the name Democrat" stand for
something distinctive in our politics. The
extreme" Democrats are those who have
remained true to the party not only dur
ing campaigns and at election times, but
through all the years, because, they be-
lieved it right In other words they are
the old regulars" who could and can al
ways be counted on. They do not put in
their time between elections cprsing out
the party and decrying its leadership,
and then try TO undo the work Of years
during the short weeks of a campaign. In
short it's the old fight under new names
between those men in the Decorate party
who really believe in Republican princi-
plies and those who believing in Demo-
cratic principles would keep them uncon-
taminated.

Southern Tobacconist. Richmond, Va
There has been no act of the American

outside of the trade and caused their
condemnation Of the tobacco trust and in

way in it's own home and surrounding
territory and States, the American To-
bacCo Company had its ammunition ready
and put in its big gun to blow it out
of existence and competition in order
that there might be no competitive cigar
cite sales, and still less on the tobacco
market for brights; it was not too small
game for the great multi million dollar
trust to try to down by such small meth
DDS as reducing one of their brands to
the absolute cost of the tobacco tax, or
$3.50 per thousand, to accomplish their
object if possible. 1t is determined by
use of its capital and greed for more to

PEACE AT ANY PRICE. "

Wadesboro Messenger 'ntelligencer.
The peace at-any price crowd are
doing their utmost to destroy the conf
dnce of the people in the Democracy, pre-
paratory to an attempt to lead them into
tie Republican party. But those of us who
still believe that robbery of the people,
for the enlistment OF manufacturers and
the building up of Special interests, is
just as immoral now as it was before the
South got finger in the pie, must not
open our mouths, for fear the delectable
feeling of some of the benefcaries of Re-
publican policies may be hurt. Yea,
verify. the sort of peace that this crowd
believes in is for the people to submit,
lamb like, to be bound hand and foot and
sheared for the benefit of the elect few.

NORFOLK AS A WICKED CITY.

A New York writer has recently been
making study of crime in cities BY
a criticsl examination of the criminal
statistics of one hundred American
municipalities he finds Norfolk so ex-
ceptionally wicked as to cntitle her TO
the first rank in that respect Savan-
nah came in a close second"
When this article appeared Norfolk
officials-the city council and
beard of police commissioners-at once
set 10 work 10 make an answer to X,
hoping thereby to appease their con-
stituents and mollify the taxpayers. To
this end the council passed denunciatory
resolutions and the board appeared in
newspaper articles Of explanation, and
the star explanation of tho lot was the
following
IF Norfolk is wicked il is because
she is a seaport town, has a large coll
ored population and is adjacent to
North Carolina
Replying to the brilliant thought oil
Norfolk's very efficient officials
Town Topics this week says:
"A dozen other cities in the tabulation
with which Norfolk was composed, in
GLIDING the city of New York, are sea,
port towns, and nearly quarter. OF
the one hundred cities considered have
a large colored population" These
two explanations being unreasonable,

posed. 49,
Were North Carolinians as anxious
to prove Norfolk a modern Sodom and
Gomorrah as Norfolk is to shift her
badness off on North Carolina they
would remind Norfolk of the following
lines. written by one of her own citi-
zens and published during the month
OF January:
Things are more wide open here
than in any western city of which |
have heard lately There are general
" a dozen poker games going, at night.
in a fashionable hotel here. On Main
street about forty, gambling joints are
open night and day. Some of these are
joints in name only, for they are PAL
aces. Roulette and other refinements
are to be found, and the tiger can be
bucked in every form. About hun
dred other gambling joints are known
to citizens Itais no uncommon thing
for policemen in uniform to be found
going up in these public places against
the crooks whom they are supposed to
arrest There is cut-throat competi-
ton among the gambling places of the
city. Only the front doors of saloons
are closed on Sundays"
Truly Norfolk seems TO be suprema'y
bad if the above is anything near a
true statement of conditions.

law relative thereto, leaving two town

in showing their appreciation Of this
generosity and their desire for higher
and broader education.
