SOME ISSUES TO FACE.
Wilmington Messenger

Wilmington Messenger
The reports from Arlington indicate
that all will not be serene this winter.
The Republican party will have to face
the issue tariff revision or q dodge.
If not that then let the people who
are outraged and robbed by the un-
equal and unjust tax see to it that the
Republican party is repudiated at the
polls. Whether the president and his
party shall split oyer the tariff is to be
seen further on. But it is thought
there will be trouble over another is
sue. The Baltimore Sun says:
call signs will fail if there is not a
violent collision between the president
and the senate before the end OF Mr.
Roosevelt's term of Office. Mr.. Roose
velt was a number of years one of the

CONGRESS SOON TO CoNHENE.

1t will be but few days before
Congress will convene and the country
awaits with some degree OF anxiety or
curiosity the opening Of the session
President Roossvelt's message will be
looked Tor eagerly, AID even now there
are lively speculations concerning it.
It has been given out that the mes
sage will be long, but there may be a
mistake about it. Mr.. Roosevelt Is
freakish, we know, and he may sur
prise the country by sending in an I'M
usually short message. One thing we
may safely count on; and that Is,
whether long or short, it will pretty
surely bs unlike any other message
that has ever been sent to Congress.
The people of the country will watch
with scrutiny the work of Congress as
we'll as be interested in the Presidents
message. There will be many new
members from various parts OF the
country but there will be none more
brilliant and engaging among the new
members than the new Representative
from the Second District in North
carolina, Hon. Claude Kitchin, OF
scotland Neck.

FOULLY ASSASSINATED.

Kinston Free Press.
The Maysville section was shocked
by the foul assassination of Mr.. Godfrey
Weber Thursday night, while he was
returning home from his work. A
correspondent to the New Berne Jour-
aal from Maysvllle says:
"About 200 yards from his: home, Mr..
Webber was attacked by a man armed
with a double barreled shot gun, and
at a distance OF about ten or twelve
yards was shot.
cat the first shot Mr.. Weber was
struck by only one ball which dazed
aim, upon which the assassin rushed
forward and within five or ten feet dis
charged sixteen buckshot In the vic
Tins side.
"With the greatest fortitude and
nerve the poor wounded man made
his way to the house, passing through
gate on the way, and very carefully
fastening the gate to keep the hogs in,
fell in the yard and was there found by
members of his family who were
alarmed at the reports of the gun and
an outcry OF Mr.. Weber, and who
rushed out to ascertain the cause.
"Mr Webber lived for an hour or SO
after the shooting, and communicated
freely with those around. He claimed
that the assassin was white man and
described him so clearly that he car
be found. In fact it is rumored that
he divulged the name of the dastari
to one or more.

THE WHEAT CROP AND OTHER
SUPPLIES.

Farmers in Eastern Carolina seem
inclined to neglect the planting Of
wheat. Seldom does one see wheat
field here of any kind and surely there
is no large acreage in that grain.
Nothing is truer than that farmers
must raise their supplies at home be-
fore they can be Independent.
There are few articles of supply for
which more money is spent than wheat
-four. 1t is an important factor in the
family supplies everywhere; and it
would seem wise and progressive for
the farmers to raise their wheat at
home, To be sure, this may not be
strictly q wheat section the lands may
not be particularly adapted to wheat !;
but in general terms it may be said
that almost any farm product Is cheap
or raised at home than bought on the
market. There is some time yet in
which the farmers may plant wheat
and THE COMMONWEALTH suggests to
those who have left off the wheat crop
entirely to try few acres with good
attention Tor a year or two.
In the Farmers Institute held here
last Friday, and which is reported else
where, the question OF home supplies
was touched upon by Commissioner Pat
ertson, Prof. Kilgore and DR.. Butler.
They were of the opinion that no
farmer in this section ought to be will
ling to have to buy shipped corn, meal
meat and the like. Mr.. Patterson's
statement that there was three times
more corn raised In Halifax county
forty years ago than now was quite
significant. When 1t Is considered
that the population OF the county hal
doubled in that time and that the. corr
crop has reduced three times over, il
means that vast amounts Of money
are being paid out every year for TIT
items of meat and meal alone. Thosl
who may haye to buy these thing
next year will have an object lesson
we fear, that will be rather unpleasant
Let the farmers plant a little whea
and raise as great part of their supplies
as DOssihl9

PAY YOUR POLL TAX.

It is highly important that every
white man who wishes to vote at the
next election should pay his poll tax.
The following, prepared by Senator
F. NJ. Simmons tor the News and Oh
server, gives clear statement of the
matter and should not be overlooked
or disregarded:
"Under the provision of section Is.
chapter 80, acts of 1901, carrying out
a requirement of the constitutional
amendment, no one will be allowed to
vote in the next State election unless
he pays his poll tax now due by the
first of next May. And it also provides
that before the person shall be allowed
to vote he shall exhibit to the registrar
his poll tax receipt, signed by the
sheriff or tax collector, and unless this
receipt bears date before the first day
of next May, he will not be allowed to
vote. But, in lieu of such poll tax re-
ceipt, the registrar and judges OF election
are permitted to allow one who has paid
tax within the time above required, to
vote upon his taking and subscribing
an oath to that effect. And any per-
son, who having paid his tax within
the time above specified and haying
lost his tax receipt, shall, upon max
ing affidavit of such loss, be entitled to
q duplicate thereof from the sheriff or
tax collector. The law also provides
that if sheriff or tax collector wiliul-
ly fails to give tax receipt to any per
son paying his poll tax, or giving q
false date, he shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor.
"Of course the act provides that per
sons who have become of age since tn,
fret day OF last June, or who were fit,
years of age or over on the FIRST day o
last June, shall not be required to pro
duce poll tax receipt, because not re
quired by law to pay poll tax. Their
is also like exemption in favor OF per
sons relieved from the payment Of pol
tax by county commissioners ON &C
count Of poverty or infirmity.
1.-THE section also requires the Ia:
collector, between the first and tent
day Of May, 1902, to certify under cat
q true and correct list Of all person
who have paid poll tax for the preyiou
year, on or before the first day Of Ma,

failing to comply with this provision
