the Secretary OF States Office has not
yet been acted upon.
At the afternoon session to-day Mr..
Laughlin introduced by request, a
bin TO tax oil produced in this State
one cent per barrel, and gas half d
cent per thousand feet.
There are good many oil men here
for various reasons, and the stir among
them tonight Is very considerable.
The bill was taken under considera-
tion this afternoon by the committee
On taxation and finance, and only
missed being reported back favorably
by scratch. 1t is said to have been
prepared by State Treasurer Kendall
who appeared before the committee
to urge its favorable action.

Judge Henry Brannon
TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION

it makes the term Of Office ten years.

interesting one. The resignation OF
President Jerome Hall Raymond

According to everything that can
be learned there is absolutely NO
chance OF Raymond remaining IN the

The situation has not changed any

WANT To PAVE.
South Morgantown Talking of an Flee
tien for payements and streets.

South Morgantown has caught the
contagion from the other towns around
here and the people over there want
to pave and sewer right away. They
want to see this done during the COM
ing summer. A petition is now In
circulation asking that the town coun-
Gil set q day for holding an election
to pass on the matter of paving.
Bonds are to be issued to the limit
and the money is to be expended In
paving and sewering the town as far
as the money will go. The street
leading to the Pump station is to be
paved as far as the money will take it..
The council meets on Monday night
and will probably pass on the matter
at that time.

The subject most discussed was
that of the reorganization of the
various institutions OF the State
and tue chief speaker was his excel
leney that-is. to be. He made known
his wishes, not as the man who is
asking that something he done for
him, but as one who is giving orders
as to what shall be done. His idea
was that all the boards should he
reorganized, and that it should be
done so that the majority party
shall have good big majority in
the representation, and not so small
margin as to enable the minority
to handicap proceedings. He also
wants the terms of office SO arranged
that the incoming Governor will al
ways have the appointment Of ma
jority of each board. After his ex
cellency that to be got through a
general discussion OF the question
was had, and various members aired
their views, but none took such
strong issue with the master as to
commit him to anything that he
might feel called upon to feel sorry
for. The Governor. elect will get the
boards as he wants them. This The
Gazette remarked some days ago,
and it just naturally has to be SO.

BY the way, the Governor elect had
hardly gotten into the city before he
went hiking around to hunt up some
OF the newspaper boys to be interview
ed in denial OF the report that he will
be candidate to succeed Scott in the
Senate four years from now. AS the
report was first printed in his personal
organ at Parkersburg. the State Jour
nal, 1t seems a little strange that he
should wait until he got here before
he had himself interviewed. And
what does it amount to any how? Ev-
erybody knew he would deny it. The
report was given out In the first place
with the reserve privilege Of denying
it. He wanted to see, Of course, how
1T would take with the people, and,
then, II it caught on" he would do
the coy maiden act, declaring IL was
so sudden aud all that; but if it failed
to make hit, ne would enter good
strong denial. Well, the reception
was somewhat chilly, and the denial
was the only thing left. But the
Goyarnor-elect is by no means out OF
the running.

GEN. cARR's POSITION.

The Winston Journal asks what the
News and Observer thinks of the recent
interviews published in the New York
Times as coming from Gen. Julian S.
Carr on the Southern political situation.
The News and Observer does not for a
moment believe that Gen. Carr made the
declarations attributed to him, and it sent
him a letter on his return from the
North Ca few days ago. enquiring as to
the accuracy of the purported interviews.
This paper remembers that Gen. Carr
has been a lifelong and earnest Demo-
crat, lending his every energy to it's
success for more than twenty years; that
in 1896, he was the chairman of the COM
mittee that arranged Bryan's brilliant
tour through North Carolina; that at the
alone and declared his belief in the free
coinage of silver; that he was a dele
gate to the National Democratic Conven-
ton at Kansas City in 1900 and was the
States choice for vice-president and
voted for the partys platform and candi-
dates; that upon his announcement of his
candidacy for the Senate last year he re-
iterated his faith in the partys platform;
and that he has been CONSPICUOUS as a
champion of Democratic principles.
For these reasons the News and OBJ
server has refrained from making any
comment upon the interview purporting
to have been given out by Gen. Carr in
New York until Gen. Carr speaks.
This paper is unwilling to believe that
after his long and devoted service to the
Democratic party, Gen. Carr would stul-
tify himself by endorsing McLaurin's pol
icy of advocating ship subsidies, protec-
ton, imperialism and Capitalization. In
view of the claim. reiterated day by day,
made in the Republican and Assistant
Republican papers of this State that Gen.
Carr is to be the North Carolina Nc
Laurin, Gen. Carr will no doubt see the
propriety, (now that he has returned
home after several weeks absence) OF
putting a stop to such use of his name
by the enemies of his party.

NOT DISINTEGRATING

The New York Times has found out by
some occult method that 1.-THE Demo-
cratic party in the South is disintegrat-
ing"
AS matter of fact the Democratic
party is more strongly entrenched in
power today than since 1894, when the
Democratic party was defeated in Mary
land West Virginia, Kentucky and
Missouri and Tennessee only by the skin
OF its teeth All these States are now
Democratic except West Virginia and if
ii had registration and an honest election
law, it, too, would be Democratic.
The Times has been misled by the ut
terances of some Southern newspapers
without political influence and by the Bit
ter contests in Virginia and South Caro-
lima. These contests have not hurt the
Democratic party. In Virginia, the party
has rid itself Of the control of corpor-
alton machine. In South Carolina, it will
soon rid itself of Republican Senator,
who has betrayed the party that elected
him. But there is no "disintsgration of
the Democratic party ia these States.
Such appearance as indicate disintegra-
s4iea, are surface indications and are very
eruptSs.1f off years. Next year they VIII
GO into ssinnocuous desuetude."
The Democratic party, neither in the
South nor anywhere else, is 'disintegrat-
ing It is militant, aggressive and Is
getting together. On the foremost issues
trusts. protection, subsidies, Imperialism
centraIixation--it is united, and the di-
Visions of 1896 and 1900 are disappearing
and the party is ssgetting together The
few Democrats who are advocating sub
sides. protection and imperialism, will
either Submit to the arbitrament OF the
National Convention or will go over to
the Republican party, where such views
arc popular and consistent.
If the Supreme Court upholds the var
ious Constitutional amendments-(andth the
big negro vote is not large enough to be
= balance of power)--the Republican party
will become stronger in some portions OF
the South than now. but the man is not
now living who will witness the "disinte-
grating of the Democratic party. 1t is,
as Vance truly said, immortal.

DR.. DANIELS ABLE PAPER.

/ We print elsewhere from the pen OF
| Rev. Eugene Daniel, d. D., pastor of the
| First Presbyterian church of this city, a
| reply to the wholesale denunciation OF
| the preachers and politicians of the South,
| recently made by Mr.. Walter H. Page.
| The article of Dr. Daniel is temperate,
| digniied, unanswerable. Where severe,
| it is the severity of truth.
We cannot imagine why Mr.. Page
should make so sweeping and unjust an
accusation against the two classes of
men in the South who have done as much
for its moral, political and industrial ad-
vancement as any men in the South. In
stead of being what Mr.. Page says they
have been, these two classes have been
in advance of public sentiment and have
led in the education and development of
the Southern people.
There have been and are doubtless I'M
worthy politicians in the South as there
arc in every section, but in character and
high sense of honor the bulk of them
have no superior anywhere. They do not
take brides, as in Pennsylvania, and they
have helped to bring about the condition
OF affairs whereby in proportion to wealth
than in any New England State. In send
ing the unworthy ones to private life, all
good men will lend a helping hand.
AS for the preachers, who does not know
that, with few exceptions the Southern
preachers have been in sympathy with
every good movement that has looked to
the South? They preach the old-fashioned
gospel of the Bible, and have not quit
preaching the Bible to preach politics in
the pulpit or to talk about higher criti-
cism." They are too busy doing good to
turn aside to ''serve tables"
I AS to the good women" referred to by
mothers and daughters who cannot be
''herded" by preacher or anybody else,
and whose lives are in keeping with the
holy religion they profess. And nobody
knows this better than Mr. Page-nobody
has better reason to know it.
The truth is that in his zeal for his
new faith--hurrahing for the Mckinley
misunderstanding. Page has lost pa
thence with the people who hold to the
old landmarks and who prefer to follow
Washington and Jefferson than Mckinley
bornly sticking to outworn creeds, and he
so longs to see them mount on the wings
of expansion and subsidies and soar with
him to the realm of Republicanism. That
he has hastily written an indictment
which he cannot feel is just or fair when
he stops to reflect upon the true meaning
by DR.. Daniel.
You ought to retract these words, Mr..
Page, and help the South and not scold
its politicians (have you found better
anywhere?) and it's preachers edo you
think the new school better?), but help
them in solving the problems which you
know cannot be solved without patience,
liberation. kindness and helpfulness. And
they cannot be solved right unless the
preachers and politicians help to solve
them.
Mr.. Rage:-You are big enough to ac
knowledge this mistake, and this paper
hopes you will do it promptly and heart
lily, and then help the Southern people of
all classes as they are going forward
in all lines Of progress!
