or intimidate any man who may inform
the people how they are kept in poverty

simply not true. He has not a scin-

Judge Clark's article that the proscrip-

moved from its head an able, amiable
ana patriotic North Carolinian, DR..
Theodore B.. Kingsbury, simply because
he asked that IL might be stated in re-
gard to d vile and false attack upon

any railroad corporation, official or at

directly or indirectly, undertaken to
dominate, outline or suggest to the

Judge Clark goes out of his way
to attack this paper and forces
upon us this declaration TO the
public. If Judge Clark has evil
dence to the contrary, we invite and
challenge its disclosure. He had no
right to make the statement. He has no
evidence of 1t. He has made it out of
the fertility OF mis- own imagination or
from Misrepresentation which have
been made him. He has made no inves-
tigation to justify his reliance upon any
such representations, and being without
foundation, comes with ill grace
from a Judge of the Supreme Court
of North Carolina and from one
who aspires to the high office of Chief
Justice. We regret the necessity of this
statement. 1t is made in a spirit of
self-respect. Judge Clark has obliged

states be Hawaii and Porto Rico? Or
will Cuba be represented next among

when annexed. will hardly be
compelled TO so through the prepara-
tory stage of a territory. We say
when annexed because her annexa-
ton TO the United States is as certain
and sure as any thing in the future
can be. II cannot be avoided. The
Cuban ~repubiic is going to be a fail
ure. 1t will not stand long. There are
three things against it. The United
States wants he annexation. A large
element Of the moneyed and influential
class Of residents OF the island wants
1t. and this humber viii increase eg
Americans settle there to develop the
wonderful resources of the island. The
third obstacle TO the continuance OF the
republic is Its heterogeneous popuia-

NEW STARS IN OUR FLAG.

The bill which passed the house Of
representatives on Friday last, provid-
ing for The admission to statehood of
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma,
will be sure to pass the senate for
their admission will add four more re-
publicans and two democrats to the
senate.
New Mexico and Okla homa are now
represented IN the house by a republi-
can delegate each, who were elected by
good majorities. while the delegate
from Arizona, Mr.. Smith, received less
than 1000 plurality.
While the bill was pending an effort
was made by Mr.. Overstreet, a repub-
lican member from Indiana. to CONSOLE
date Arizona and New Mexico, for the
purpose, of course. to wipe out the
small democratic majority If the
former.
The vehement opposition to this
amendment came near causing the
death of Delegate Smith. who had been
fighting for Arizona's statehood for
years. The passage of the bill with
this amendment would have defeated
his aims forever.
When these states are admitted our
flag will show forty-eight stars. How
long will it be before the number is
Increased an even half hundred? and
what territory will the two new ones
represent? There are only two other
territories on the American continent

MARTINIQUE FURTHER THREATEIED

This disaster is so appalling and of
such magnitude that President Roose-
welt has deemed it necessary to send
to congress a special message on the
subject.
People who stand aghast at what has
occurred will shudder when they read
that the city of Fort de France and
the entire island of Martinique are
threatened with disaster similar to that
which befell st. Pierre: that the en-
tire remaining population are in hour
ly danger of meeting the terrible fate
of the citizens of that city. More than
this: the island of st. Vincent and per-
haps others al seriously menaced.
The French government asks the
United States to render aid as quickly
as possible to the citizens of the is
land of Martinique. The inhabitants
are starving. They are in momentary
danger of death. We are asked to send
food. We are further asked to fur
nish transportation as speedily as pos
sible to remove these people to a place
of safety.
The president IN his message recon-
mended an appropriation of $500, 900 to
be used in sucooring these people. and
both houses Of congress Immediately
passed a bill appropriating $780, 900.
May this prompt n energetic action
on the part of our government be the
means of saving the lives of the thous-
andS of people threatened with such
dire disaster.

will be given equal prominence with
anything hat has been, or will be said,
in the future.

Clark to agree to their publication. II
the letters are true, as charged by
Major Wilson, hen the friends of Judge
Clark should not press his candidacy.
We submit to a fair minded public, in
view Of the status of the situation at
the time, that the above quoted edito-
rial is not "a vile and false attack upon"
Judge Clark.
WHY DIR. KINGSBURY RESIGNED.
1t is true hat when this editorial was
published DR.. Kingsbury requested the
proprietors to publish a card stating
that he was in no wise responsible for
it, which was regarded as an unreasona-
able request. DR.. Kingsbury was an en-
ploye Of this paper in the capacity of
editor. but was not responsible, directly
or indirectly, for a line which D
ed in its editorial columns. His name
did not appear as editor of the paper.
He had no financial interest in it. Its
proprietors own it and alone assume
responsibility for its editorials. 1t
would be a remarkable thing that the
proprietors Of this paper, when they
wish to insert any article in its edito-
rial columns. should be obliged to pro-
claim to the public that some one of it's
employees, whom it did not happen to
please, was in no way responsible for
il If, because, of his w~ell-known con-
nection with the paper, DR.. Kingsbury
preferred that Judge Clark should know
that he had not written the article he
could have addressed him a letter per-
sonally, informing him of the fact.
The attitude of DR.. Kingsbury and the
attitude of the proprietors of this paper
towards DR.. Kingsbury, which led to
his resignation, may be shown by the
purely business correspondence which
passed between them. DR.. Kingsbury
did not approach us personally, al
though in the office, and all that passed
between us is contained in h cores
pondence below. Here it is:

The proprietors of this paper have al
ways entertained for DR.. Kingsbury
the highest respect, both for his abilities
and his estimable character. Often, we
did not approve, and were aware our
readers did moi approve, of n tone of
many of his editorials, but, as the poll
cies he advocated were in the main in
accord with the views of the proprietors
of the paper, we have seldom intimat-
ed our disapproval, and this in respect
of his age, his experience and his abili-
ties in varied lines of journalism. He
could ave remained indefinitely with
this paper. He made upon US an UNI
reasonable request with which we could
not and would not comply, and only for
the stated in the above CORE
~spondence did DIR. Kingsbury resign.

SHOOTING AT BATEsyILLE
Dr J. P. Dorr, Through Insane Jeal- ousy, Shot w. J. Ward Tuesday Morning Five Shots Fired
 Three Effective

Batesville, Sept. 30. A very sensa- tional and perhaps fatal shooting oc- cured at the court house in this city this morning. W. J. Ward, deputy circuit clerk, was seriously, if not fla tally, wounded by Dr. J. F. Dorr, a prominent physician of Dota. Five shots were fired, three of which were effective, two being only flesh wounds, but the third, entering in the back near the kidneys, is very serious and may prove fatal.
 Both are men of considerable prom thence and the shooting has caused considerable excitement.
 The cause is not definitely known yet, but it is said that Dorr was in sanely jealous of Ward, who had worked for him for several years in the capacity of salesman in store which he owns and runs at Dota. It is said he believed Ward had alienated his wife's affection. His wife, though, has been dead for several months.
 After his arrest Dorr was being guarded in the sheriff's office and, drawing the attention of the guard to something else, he secured loaded pistol which belonged to the sheriff, wing in a corner of the desk, and might have done more shooting, but the sheriff happened in at an oppor- tune moment and took it from him.
 Dr. Dorr refuses to give any state ment. MT. Ward says it was unex- pected to him, as he thought the doc- tor was his friend.
 Sheriff Hinkle kept Dr. Dorr in the county vault for half an hour, as the excitement ran high.
