stated that he was no longer one of

to Rev. D. B. Cotton, of Concord and
therefore would nOb stand for cleo

COL. J. s. CARR AGAIN A CANDIDATE

intimate friend of General Julian s.

Carr will be candidate to succeed
Senator Pritchard in the United
States Senate. The informan5 states
that he has received a letter from
General Carr to this effect.
The General last spring came out
in public statement decrying Bry-

the national platform. He was the
first prominent North Carolinian to
thus declare himself after the cam
paign of 1900 His views were
widely commented upon and he was
denominated by some as the "'Mc-
Laurin of North Carolina. He
denied at the time that he had any
purpose of leaving the Democratic
party and said that he only wanted
it purged of the '.heresies" that had
first obtained in 1896.

UNCLE SANS S1OO, 100000 SURPLUS
WHAT WILL HE Do WITH IT?

About the only thing that encour
ages the belief that Congress will
modify the tariff, is the presence of
IL surplus of something over $1OO,
1000 in the treasury. While other
nations are struggling to reduce de
fcits, we are looking for means to
cut down surplus. A reduction of
revenue is of course the best means
to the end, but there are not a few
who do not object to having plenty
of spending money, and backed by
them are others who fear the result
of tariff tinkering "a phrase which
must mean the reduction Of duties,
since it is never applied to increases.
To forestall a calamity of this sort
the reduction of internal taxation is
suggested to meet the general de-
mand for a decrease of revenue.
