The Gordian Knot Cut.

To the Editor: I have, been waiting to
have some one of our public men take
bold stand and speak out for the people
on the question of selecting our United
States Senator by the people. Our repre-
sentatives seem to be but playing with
the subject and there is no telling what
will be done. AS a result of this daily
ing we have about a dozen counties that
will have primaries, whereas we should
have a State primary at which the people
can say which one of the several candi-
dates for the Senate shall represent
them; and we have no assurance but
that the State convention Ito which the
so-called Democrats, who played into the
hands of the opposition. will go in large
numbers) will undertake to select the
candidate The voice of the people when
properly informed is the voice of God,
and as one of the people I demand a
primary throughout the State. Where
there is a will, there is way" and the
action of the men in charge leads me to
conclude that the desire to give the peo
pie an opportunity to declare their pre-
ference is wanting, and that the people
are really and truly without represen-
tative in the ranks of our public men
who will stand up and fight for the peo-
pie at large, in this matter-and that
too in the face of declarations in our
party platforms With these convictions
deeply engraven, what am / to do in or
der to secure an opportunity for the peo-
pie of North Carolina to say whom of
the many they will have? l will cut the
knotted question and l hereby declared
myself a candidate for the Senate sub
ject to the action of a State primary
(the plan of which l shall present here
after). In this communication l cannot
go into details as to all of the principles
upon which / stand, but am rock-ribbed
and hideboun in my adherence to the
distinctive Democratic principles as
enumerated in the successive national
platforms from 1876 Ito the present time
| stand for organized labor as against
organized greed; / stand for the men,
who true to, the core fought valiantly
under the leadership of our last presi-
knitted us in that important campaign
and who are now working hard to secure
possession of the Democratic machinery
| have much to say to the people, and I
have no hesitancy in declaring to the
public that | seize the present condition
of things as a great opportunity to ex-,
press my views, and that my hopes of
being elected are of secondary considera-
ton and Importance.

are using philosophical and geometrical
truths for the purpose of undermining
the teachings of holy writ. These things
cannot stand the test. Babylon, in all
her glory, has become thing of the past.
Rome-the once proud mistress Of the
world, was destroyed by the Goths and
Vandals, and Greece, rich in literature
and arts, has become a thing Of the past.
Here Mr. Glenn spoke of the import
ance of fostering the spirit of State
pride. l am proud l am a North Caro-
linian, l am proud of her illustrious his
tory, l am proud that on the twentieth
day of May, 1775, our forefathers assem-
bied in the good county of Mecklenburg,
at time when all this land was sleep
ing in slavery, and declared that hence
forward they would know no King but the
King of Kings. / am proud that the first
blood shed for the glory of the Confeder-
acy was shed by a North Carolinian and
that the last one to surrender at Appa-
mattox was a boy from North Carolina.
And now one great danger threatens
the very life Of this republic, and the
highest type of physical, mental and
moral development is needed with which
to meet it, We are threatened with the
accumulation of all power to the eXcius-
ion of all other interests. / believe in
organized capital, but not when it strikes
out all hope and destiny. See to it that
you solve this problem Alright and that
competition be the life of trade, instead
Of the endeavor to force the principle of
consolidation of all into one mass.
Mr.. Glenn closed with word of ad-
monition 20 the young boys. Throw off
your lethargy and idleness, rise as your
fathers rose. and be held in sainted
memory while time lasts.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Glenns adj
dress, Prof. Wyche stated that very
important feature of the program would
have to be omitted. Judge Neal donates
medal at the end of each scholastic year
to the pupil attaining the highest stand
ard in scholarship. This year there was
tie between Misses Grace Gill and
Lilly Jordan for this honor and it was
decided to divide the value of the medal
equally between them.
1T the request of Prof. Wyche, Rev r.
o. S. Curtis dismissed the audience with
the benediction and another year of the
I.aurlnburg High School passed into his

Poll Tax in Chatham.
(Chatham Record.l

IONaIham RecOrd.)
1t is not known how many of the per-
sons paying poll-taX are white and how
many are colored. The total number of
white polls listed is 2,461, and 975 color
ed, making total listed 1886 So, it APP
pears that $40 polls in Chatham have not
been paid. Nearly all of these delin-
quents are negroes. For instance, in
hickory Mountain township $50 negroes
voted at the last election, and yet only
80 of them have paid their poll tax for
the past year. Negro voters will be
rather scarce in that and some ether
townships next November!

New York. Sept. 9.-For the good Of
the great properties involved and in
the interest of the public welfare, It
was announced on reliable authority
today that J. Pierpont Morgan had Of
fered to use his good offices to bring
about a settlement of the great coal
strike.
This announcement was made at the
conclusion Of conference in which
Governor Stone OF Pennsylvania, At.
torney General Elk of the same State
and p. A. B. Widener took part, and
during which Widener met and talked
briefly with Morgan.
Just what step will be taken in the
matter was not learned, but 1t was in
timated In certain quarters that Nor
gan and President Mitchell might
meet as the first move in the impor'
tant negotiations. The leader Of the
strikers said he would be glad to meet
Mr.. Morgan or any one representing
him In the interests of peace. To add
to the interest in the days develop
ments and the evident change of opin'
ion on the part OF Morgan, 1t was said
that the heads Of coal roads, instead
Of being pleased at the prospect OF
Morgan's mediation, have intimated
that they would resign their positions
rather than be thwarted in their eX
pressed determination to carry the
fight to a bitter end.
Morgan's willingness to use his good
offices to the extent of his ability to
end the strike was made public In an
oral statement from an authoritative
representative. The terms Of this
communication were not made public
After Morgan had seen the statement

Portland. Me-. Sept. s.-Chairman
Simpson OF the State Committee to.
night sent a message to the President
saying:
Maine has gone Republican as it
once went for Governor Kent. We
have carried the State by plurality
OF $4,000. We have elected the entire
delegation in Congress by large ma
jority, have chosen every Senator with
one exception and about four-fifths OF
the Legislature. The Pine Tree State
Endorses your administration with no
uncertain voice."
A message of like import was sent TO
Senator Hanna, saying: "Maine has
today shown her appreciation OF the
Republican policies which have given
to our country a prosperity unequaled
in the history of the world"
Maine rolled up a big off-year plu-
rality for the Republicans in the cleo.
ton today, approximating $1,000 in
comparison with $4,000 for the average
Of other years.
The city and county contests nearly
all presented features, but the most in
teresting was that in Cumberland
county, OF which the late Rev. Samuel
Pearson was sheriff. The shrievalty
fight today was won by Pennell, the
Democratic candidate, by 1000 in Port
land and nearly 1000 in the county.
