THE TRUTH ABOUT IT.

For weeks, every now and then. the
Republican organs break out in an at
tack charging The Democrats with not
permitting Republicans to teach in the
pubic school Of certain counties,
whereas the charge has been shown to
be false. Recently the Davie Record, a
little revenue Doodle sheet published at
Mocksvill, preferred this Indictment:
while in Yadh'n last week. we were
reliably informed that only one Repub-
lican had .een employed as public
school teacher, that is, our informant
could only name one SO far employed.
We regret that l,artizan politics are to
injected into the public school system.
A young Ynan, graduate of Yadkin-
Vile Normal and a young man who has
worked to 1T himself for the work, had
to 20 to another county TO get school"
The Yadh.n Ri! pie copies this para
graph and says:
There are e few errors in the infor-
nation received by the Record while in
Yadkinville In the first place we look
cd into the matter a little and find that
there are snirty-fve male teachers in
this county and only seventeen of this
number are Republicans, so County Su-
perintendent Martin says: 1t would seem
that there IS no partisan politics in hir-
ing sevent cen Republicans and eighteen
Democrats, more especially when we re-
member that there is a Democratic
Board of Education and School Trustees.
The graduate at Yadkinville Normal is.
we !, esume. Mr.. w. l.. i1utchins, of this
place, who has accepted a school in Ire
dell. Now Mr.. Hutchns is most
worthy young man and we are sorry he
saw TT to leave Yadkin to teach, but We
think It was from choice, rather than
necessity, as the itecord infers.
If it is true in any county in North
Carolina that there are more Democrats
teaching public schools than Republi-
cans, the reason IS plain, and is not un-
like the reply CO.. VIM. A. Smith gave
to certain Republicans who remonstrat-
ed with him because he shut up the
printing office IN Raleigh that was
printing the Republican paper. His only
answer was: "You cannot print paper
for a party that cannot read"

to the experiment, but not to the growth
of The tea plants Being neglected they
grow to be quite tall in the surrounding
bushes, and we have now in the museum
a sample of tho tea made from those
plants in 1892. ard which brought $100
per pound on our markets. The point
is that the tea plant lived for forty years
in orir climate. Recently the govern
ment is repeating this experiment in
South Carolina. If successful there it
can be made equally so in the southeast

OBITUARY.
MR.. JOHN M. WILSON.

John Marshall Wilson was born in War
rem county, December 5, 1915, and died at
his home, at Wilson's Mills, Johnston
county, on Wednesday morning, the 9Th
inst, lacking one month OF being sc years
of age. He was a son of Gillian Wilson.
and his mothers maiden name was Mar
shall. She was a lineal descendant of &
brother of Chief Justice Marshall, Of the
United States Supreme Court
Mr. Wilson was brought up in Warren
county, where he was engaged many years
in the tanning business, and the manu-
facture and sale of shoes to dealers. AZ
ter that, he became interested in the
milling and lumber business, and was
one of the first to erect a mill in that
section of the State. About the beginning
Of the Civil War he moved his mills to
Johnston county, and located them on the
site where the village of Wilson'S Mills
is now situated and which derived it's
name from him and his business.
After the war he became associated
with Mr.. John A. Waddell, now deceased,
which continued some ten years They
were also engaged in the contract and
building business; and during this CO.
partnership and after its dissolution, Mr..
Wilson was connected with the erection
of some of the best buildings in the cities
of Durham, Raleigh, Goldsboro, Tarbcro
and other places. After conducting the
business eleven years more, in his own
name he sold out to his sons, Messrs.
John A.. Charles NJ, and W. G. Wilson,
ald Mr. G. f. Uz2le. Since that time he
has devoted his attention to his farms.
Like many Southern gentlemen, he lost
most of his property by the war. But he
was full of energy, and set TO work III
earnest to retrieve his lost fortune. And
by diligence, perseverance and industry he
succeeded in accommodating quite COM
potency, notwithstanding he lost many
thousands of dollars by becoming security
for those whom he sought to befriend in
distress.
Mr. Wilson was married to Miss Susan
G Bobbtt, OF Warren county, April 10th,
1889. She died March 26th, 1886. This
marriage was blessed with eleven chill
dren. four of whom are living, Mrs. G. r.
Tomlinson and the three sons mentioned
above.
Mr.. Wilson was loyal and public
spirited citizen, Jealous Mason, peace
able and kind neighbor, faithful friend
and loving father; and his love and devo-
ton to his wife were beautiful.
For twenty-five years Mr. Wilson has
been an intimate friend of the writer, ac-
commodating, and liberal with his means
in the promotion of every benevolent and
good work. He was a Jealous Democrat
and an earnest advocate Of education, go d
roads and good government, and not
withstanding his advanced age, was de-
cidedly progressive in dispositin. He
was man of high ideals, a kind heart
with generous and noble impulses, unas-
suming and with malice toward none,
he died as he had lived, an honest and
honorable man.

REvAMPING RADICAL ISLANDERS

The Charlotte Observer and its Me
Too" the State sville Landmark, with
the handful Of papers that are the echoes
of these anti Democratic papers, sneez-
ing whenever they take snuff, have dis
covered that Governor AScock and his
administration and Senator Simmons
have Jointly constructed a machine to
control all Democratic nominations.
They announce that Judge Clark is
.slated" for Chief Justice and Hon.
Locke Craig for Senator, and the Land
mark adds:
mo man except an eastern man has
been appointed to any place of conse-
ouence unless he had the approval of the
simmons machine-and precious few
western men have been recognized in
any way. The Governor with all his fine
talk about liberty in the campaign last
wear. seems to be absolutely dominated
and controlled by this element, and in
his bestowed of official recognition he
has managed 10 find only ''impeachers"
and anti Carr men. His attitude has
been so marked that it could not be mis-
taken"
There is not an ordinarily welI-inform-
ed man VIII, does not know that there
is not word or syllable of truth in the
Landmarks outrageous Islander of the
Governor. The Statesvile Mascot takes
up the appointments made by the Cover
nor and shows by naming them
that many IF them were among the
mos. earnest supporters of Gen Carr
for Senator and that others were
strongly opposed to impeachment. The
truth is tina. the Governor has never
recognized he existence of factions in
the party, but has named the men he
thought best fitted regardless of their
attitude on Impeachment or position in
the senatorial primary. The Mascot
speaks the simple truth when it adds:
These charges against Senator Sim
mons and Governor Aycock are not orig
inal with the Charlotte Observer and
The Landmark. For months Buffers
Caucasian and the Republican papers of
the State have been filled with just such
stuff. Profcsseily Democratic papers
should be backed up with more facts
than We're these 1.-TWO OF kind" before
they attack the State organization and
State administration of the party to
which they profess allegiance"
This sudden onslaught on 1.-THE ma
chine" is not accidental. Tomorrow we
will show its Inspiration and the reas-
ons for it's violent attacks at this time.
If any set of men holding positions of
honor, given them by their party, should
seek to dis.ae the nominations, this pa
per would Expose and denounce such
misuse of tine powers conferred. Party
organization is created to elect the per-
sons named by the voters of the party.
Whenever it is used in the interest of
one Democrat against another it is be-
coming a danger to party integrity and
deserves reouke and reputation.

CRAIG'S GOOD LUCK.

WadeSboro Messenger Intelligence.
Mr.. Locke Craig, of Buncombe, must
have subsidized the Charlotte Observer
to fight his candidacy for the United
States Senate, for It is certain that moth
ing could happen that would cause gem
uine Democrats to regard him with
greater suspicion than the support of this
paper. If Mr.. Craig can manage to have
the Observer keep up its opposition to
him. the chances are that he will be
Pritchard's successor.

Now and then we read limitations OF
the existence of political machine in
Eastern North Carolina whose chief de-
light is in dominating the Democrats Of
Western North Carolina, at which il is
successful. We take this as a reflection
upon the sturdy Democrats of the West,
whom we believe are able to take care
of themselves against any unwarranted
combination.

Writing Ct Mr. Osborne, the new
judge, the Charlotte News says:
''Mr. Osborne liz S been conspicuously
loyal to his party. Not only is this true,
but it is further fact that in addition
to his support of the Democratic nomi-
nees in the presidential elections of 1896
and 1900, he was enc of the strongest
and ablest advocates of the free coinage
Of silver. Mr.. Osborne's record as a
Democrat IS without flaw, and we have
no doubt whatever that it will remain

A STRIKING DIFFERENCE.

The election in New York city and the
between Republic ans and Democrats. In
New York, evils lad crept into the gov
eminent of the city that demanded be-
ing eradicated. Many Democrats de-
clartd thai the only way to secure re-
form was to defeat the party nominees
by electing non partisan ticket, COM
Others equally determined to secure re-
form demanded and secured the nomi-
nation of brave and honest man for
the lMayoralty. This division Of opin-
ion among thousands of Democrats, who
put good goyernr,t mt above partisan sue
cess made it certain that New York city
Mayor of their city. The re-
sentiment against the conduct of the po-
lice was so earnest that to
make sure of removing Deyery, the
Democrats elected the ticket that was
composed Of Democrats and Re-
pub!icans instead of the ticket composed
only of Democrats. In our judgment,
after debating the nomination Of man
like Edward M. Shepard the wisest
thing for Democrats to have done was to
vote the Democratic ticket. But enough
of them took the other view to elect
Low and his assoc iates. The result has
no political significance if Mr.. Low is
true to his pledge to give the city
non partisan administration. Mr.. Je-
rome, the new District Attorney, is
Democrat who d d not hesitate to de-
clare that he opposed Tammany because
he wanted 10 havp better type of De-
mocracy in contlo oil in Greater New
YORK.
How is it N Philadelphia? There the
Republicans have been entrenched in
power much longer than the Democrats
in New York. Where the New York
officials stole one dollar, the Philadel-
phia gang stole a million. 1t was more
rotten than even Jerome declared Tam
many to be. He;e is picture of the
Philadelphia government. drawn by
Republican paper. the Philadelphia
Press on the morning of the election:
go to the polls on your way to bus
mess and express your condemnation of
Ashebridgeism; cf the robbery of pub
lie franchises for private purposes; of
the awarding oil public contracts to
highest and favorite bidders by means of
which hundreds Of thousands of dollars
are stolen from the people; of official
blackinail and coercion of the political
action of citizens by menace and police
terror ism; Of the attempt to deprive the
people of an honest and faithful district
attorney to elect one subservient to the
bosses; of official protection of crime
and vice and of election debauchery"
What was the result? Though the hon
est citizens of Philadelphia of all par
ties had nominated a ticket of men of
high character, the Doodle, regular
Republican ticket was elected by big
majority With most Republicans the
only question is The one Tflad Stevens
was wont to ask (which is our id
rascal?"
The Wilkesboro Chronicle suggests to
Mr. Roosevelt that if he wishes to do
anything to build up "a respectable Re-
publican party" anywhere he ought to
begin at Philadelphia. In view of the
result of Fridays election, this advice
is rood.

SHOULD WORK BOTH WAYS.

Chatham Record.
When the .price Of cotton went to ten
cents last year the Republican speakers
and papers claimed the credit of 1t. and
many Populists voted for Mckinley be
cause they professed to believe that nc
had raised the price of cotton. That
was their excuse in this county.
But now that the price of cotton has
gone down 20 nearly seven cents we do
not hear so much said about Mckinney
prosperity" If the Republican party
claimed and received the credit for the
increased price of cotton, surely that
party should now be censured for the
present low price.
1t is bad rule that does not work

Ii HUNG CHANG, the great states
man of China who died last week, was
a most remarkable man and did much
in shaping the policy of China.
He developed great powers of leader
ship and showed his strong personality
at the time Of the Teaping rebellion.
In 1872 when Tseng Kwofan, the FORE
most public man Of China died, Ii be-
came his successor and at the time
that General Grant made his trip
around the world he was entertained
by the great Chinese statesmen who
piled the American general with all
sorts of questions relative to this coun-
try and the affairs of the world. At
that time China was having trouble
over the Loochoo islands which Japan
had taken and Ii tried to have Grant
do little diplomatic work with the
mikado when the general visited
Japan. Grant gave Ii some very val
liable pointers on how to develop China
and pointed to the necessity of opening
up the country by railroads and tele-
graph. The Chinese statesman formed
warm friendship for Grant and when
Ii visited this country he made pill
grimage to Grants tomb and placed
wreath thereon as token of his affec-
ton. Ii was sent to Japan at the close
of the war with that country to fix up
treaty of peace and when he went to
Moscow in 1896 to attend the corona
tion of Nicholas II he signed an agree
ment embodying valuable concessions
to Russia which permitted the bear to
run his great paws down through
Manchuria~ to Port Arthur. This lead
to other European nations insisting on
some valuable pieces of. Chinaware.

THE railroad and warehouse COM
mission has ordered the Duluth & Iron
Range road to file with the commission
on or before the third day Of Decem-
Der its schedules of ore tariffs from all
mines and stations on it's lines to it's
docks on Lake Superior at Two Har-
bors. Messrs. Staples and Miller voted
to issue the order, Chairman Mills dis
senting from their opinion, believing
that inasmuch as the present ore traf-
tic is Interstate the commission has no
power to issue such an order. Attor-
ney General Douglass, his predecessor,
Hon. H. W. Childs, and Senator Clapp
are of the opinion that the commission
has the right to insist on the road COM
plying with such an order, even though
the business of the road in connection
with the ore carrying trade Of the lakes
is practically interstate commerce, and
the commission can compel the road to
post a rate on ore from any point on it's
line to the docks. 1t is not to be-: pre-
sumed that because the consolidated
iron interests now practically have a
monopoly on the rail and lake traffic,
that under an open rail rate the indie
pendent interests on the iron ranges
could not be- benefited, and there is no
question but what if the commission
can be sustained by the courts the pres
ent iron monopoly as it exists on the
Minnesota ranges can be broken, or at
least relief found for many independent
mine owners. Then, too, there would
be plenty of boats to carry the ore over
the lakes. Minnesota has lots of iron
stored away in the ranges and it is a
Door law that won't permit of open and
nntrammeled rights and interests.

On this matter of good citizenship
some pertinent remarks by the. New
York Independent touch another phase
OF the question. The Independent says:
1.-The average business man in New
York city, Chicago or Philadelphia,
right down in the bottom of his heart
does not want an unflinchingly honest,
businesslike administration, which
will enforce the law~to the letter and
mete out even-handed Justice. &. On the
contrary he wants an administration
that he can. 'see.' He wants policemen
who will stroll stolidly by while the
sidewalk in front of his warehouse is
piled ten>feet high with packing cases,
He wants a board of assessors who are
all right on the delicate subject of
special assessments for street improve
ments. He wants a building depart
ment which will let him put in wood
for iron, sand for cement and brick
walls for windows. He wants board
of health that won't get too nasty
when he burns soft coal or violates the
ordinances in regard to the storage of
noxious materials. AS long as they
can make people in general believe
that responsibility rests, not with
them, but on the ignorant and the.
