The democrats of Greensboro made
a wise choice in selecting Col. w. II.
Osborn for mayor of the city. He is
a man of sound judgment, great busi-

change and men change with them. Mr..
Marion Butler argues through column
and half of his paper this week in fa-

interests of the south; for the closing
of American ports to foreign importa-
ton except at practically prohibitive
rates of duty. And this from the late
leader Of a deceased party who went
to the senate on the proposition that
along with silver everything else should
be free!-Charlotte Observer.
Governor Aycock is the most popu-
lar man in the state, but his best
friends regret to see the number of
pardOnS he is issuing. Some of them
are for good reasons, but the public
do not like to see criminals who have
Deen tried In a court or justice and
regularly convicted. after a fair hear
ing, released. Nothing so shakes the
faith of the people in the courts and
the law, as the impression that If a
man is convicted he can secure a par
don. Occasionally the law does an in
justice to a man, but it is seldom, and
only in the most extreme cases is a
pardon justified. Usually a pardon is
granted on the statement Of the friends
of the prisoner, and the sentiment Of
the people of the community is not ex-
pressed. Any one can get a petition
for anything.-Raleigh Times.

very destructive hail storm, followed
by a cloud burst. Both rain and hal

a foot deep. On Tarboro and Colds
boro streets the water was high enough
in some places to run in the stores.
The surrounding country has suffer

cases will have to be entirely replant-

The President Reviews the Flower
Parade at Los Angeles

Los Angeles, Cal, May 9.-From a
broad blue canopied pavilion, surround
ed by the members of his cabinet, the
governor of Ohio and notables from
many states, President Mckinley to-
day reviewed the floral parade of the
Los Angeles carnival. The city was
packed. The population of Los Angeles
according to the census. is more than
100000, but the streets must have held
almost twice as many today. Pasa-
dena. Santa Monica and other neigh
boring towns in southern California
were literally depopulated.
The scene on Broadway, where the
reviewing stand was located, resem-
bled Pennsylvania Avenue in Wash
ington on the day of an inaugual
parade. Every building displayed
bunting, flags and pampass grass;
plumes, red green and orange, the
colors of the fiesta, prevailing.
AS each carriage reached the review
ing stand, the ladies in it arose and
smilingly saluted the president with
deep courtesies. The president was
kept on his feet most of the time re-
turning these greetings. He APPARENTLY
enjoyed the experience hugely.
Each lady carried a bag of rose
leaves for use as confetti and after
saluting the president she threw a
handful Of soft petals into his box.
Before the parade was over he was
ankle deep in rose leaves.
This afternoon the ladies Of the pres
ident's party went to Pasadena and
took a drive there, while the president
made a trip to the national soldiers
home near Santa Monica. 1t is eight
cen miles distant and he made the
journey in electric cars. Three thou
sand of the presidents old comrades
of the civil war greeted him there. The
old soldiers gave the president a re-
markable demonstration. Mr.. McKin-
ley made an address.
