CAPT. DAY AND JUDGE CLARK.
Roanoke Chowan Times.

Roanoke Chcwan Times
Cur acrobatic friend. Capt. w. II.
Day, has made his explanation through
the Raleigh Post of his connection with
the opposition to the nomination OF
Judge Clark for Chief Justice. He be-
gins his letter by misstatement of facts
when he says, in his opening paragraph,
that
at seems Judge Clark is determined
I shall be dragged into his controversy
with Governor Russell and the Demo-
cratic party"
Judge Clark has no controversy with
the Democratic party, as Capt. Day
Well knows. The controversy is with
the railroads and trusts and their law
agents who are seeking to pack the Su-
preme Court for selfish purposes.
IN his second paragraph Capt Day
says:
"fIis object in doing this, of course. is
untruthfully to say that the Seaboard
Air Line is fighting him through me-"
If the Seaboard Air Line is not fight :
ing Judge Clark Capt. Day has misrep-
resented it. At the February term of
Northampton Superior Court, held at
Jackson, Capt. Day stated to the editor
of the Times in most positive terms that
the railroads contributed one hundred
thousand dollars to the Democratic State
campaign fund in 1900 that now they
asked that the Democratic party nomi-
nate somebody else for Chief Justice and
he will certainly be defeated. Capt.
Line by name, but he repeatedly used
the word railroads without making any
exception. and as ne is chief attorney
for the Seaboard in this State. and for
nc other when he is speaking for the
RAILROADS" he, of course. is speaking
for the Seaboard also.
After warning up on his subject Capt.
Day declares that, "Clark's effort to
raise the cry that he Is prosecuted by
the railroads is so absurd and false that
it verges on the ridiculous" This is a
funny statement for a man of Capt.
Days intelligence to make when the
whole State knows that the railroads are
making no concealment of their deter
mination to fight Judge Clark to the
bitter end. The first onslaught made on
Judge Clark was by railroad preSl-
dent which was sent broadcast over the
State. Even the Methodist preachers
were insulted by sending them large
bundles of the vicious pamphlets Since
that time the fight has been kept up by
F. II. Busbee, attorney for the Southern
Railway, Capt Day. of the Seaboard,
and exGov. Russell.
Iii view of his recent actions Captain
Day makes most remarkable state
ment in his closing paragraph, when he
says:
This is no fight of mine-I am per
haps. as thoroughly disinterested as it
is possible for lawyer to be. who loves
his profession
If Capt. Day is so thoroughly disin-
terested. personally. and is not acting as
the agent of the railroads. it is passing
strange that he should be so active in
the persecution of Judge Clark, not even
resting on the Sabbath. He has been
more bitter in his denunciation Of Judge
Clark than any one else we have
heard Of

AN INTERPRETATION OF THE
CLARK VICTORY.
Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer
That Judge Walter Clark will pc the
next Chief Justice of the North Care
lima Supreme Court now seems practi-
collv assured
But there is grave danger that this
result of the controversy in which he and
otliers have been recently engaged. will
be nisinterpreted by the mass of people.
It does not mean that the people of
North Carolina are preiudjced against
corporations, OF that they are disposed
to be unfair and unjust toward capital.

that the Democratic party could find
stronger man to run for the Chief JUS

COME FROM UNDER COVER.

Louisburg Times.
We notice that in some of the news
papers of the State are articles at
lacking Judge Clark that are not signed
by the writer's, but are signed "a Con-
sentative" North Carolinian," and so
on. Now. to say the least of it, that is
not a brave way of doing things, and no
man who thinks anything of himself,
should crticise a fellow citizen adverse
ly and hide behind nom de plume.
Come from under cover. and let the peo-
pie of the State know who you are and
TO what class you belong.

1t is very evident to our mind, that
Mr.. Clark has not bettered his position

ASSAULTS HAVE MADE THE CHANGE
Littleton News Reflector.

The changeable winds blow, and the
rains beat upon the sturdy mountain,
but it remains a mountain just the same.
Years have passed into centuries since
their creation, and they still lift their
rugged though beautiful, heads high
above their surroundings. The assaults
upon the political and moral character
OF Justice Clark, the probable candidate
for the Chief Justice, have not changed
his appearance in the hearts of his coun-
trymen. He is as much their choice to-
day as when his name was first mention
ed in connection with the coveted office.

THE pEopLE,s CONCERN.

Windsor Ledger
These men and "these interest" can
fight Clark or any other person they
see fit. That is their concern. But they
cannot do so successfully under the
guise of Democracy. That is the peoples
concern and the people are speaking on
this question each day.

THE PEOPLE OR THE RAILROADS?
Warrenton Record.
The Wilson Clark Russell letters have
been made a great deal more of than the
matter contained in them deserved. 1t
is very plain to us that the whole thing
is a demand of a powerful corporation
in the State upon the Democratic party
not to nominate man for Chief Justice
of our Supreme Court that said corpora
lions cannot rule. 1t resolves itself into
this: Shall the people or corporate power
dictate the candidates of the Democratic
party? We predict that Judge Clark
will be nominated by the people by ac-
clamation.

WHAT THE ATTACK HAS SHOWN.
Franklin Press.

Franklin Press.
The attack of Maj. Wilson on Judge
Clark has had the effect to show plain
ly that the great railroad corporations
are at the bottom of the whole scheme
to defeat Judge Clark and prevent his
being Chief Justice because they fear
him above all other men. 1t has also
shown that Judge Clark stands firmly
in defense of justice and right in bring
ing these corporations to pay their just
part of the taxes and prevent them from
fragrant violations OF law in the man
agement of their business. 1t has also
shown that while Judge Clark has been
guilty of some slight indiscretions. his
character and integrity are tnirely above
reproaeh. The attack has strengthened
his chances for nomination and election
to the Chief Justiceship.

VERY SERIOUS.

be very damaging and would vitiate
his usefulness as Auditor.
The charges marked Ill and VI. are
also serious. These consist in giving a
check to Henry Hapai the Registrar Of
Public Accounts, for some $1,000, and
another to William Vannatta for $3.50,
both checks having no funds to meet
them when presented. For similar con-
duct a young man, not long ago, was
brought up in the courts here and con-
vlcted, and one constantly reads of
similar cases in the criminal annals of
the mainland.
The Governor, when information of
this character was laid before him,
could do nothing else than what he did.
He gave the Auditor the opportunity Of
resigning. Upon his refusal, he formu-
lated the charges against him, and up.
on his further refusal he has suspend
ed him. Mr. Austin has forced the is
sue and he can only come ont of the
fight with smirched reputation and
a certainty that the community can
have no confidence in him when he
energies from the struggle.
The Austin case must not be con-
founded in any way with the defalca-
lions discovered in the Treasury De-
partment and in the Department OF
Public Works. Mr.. Austin is in no
sense a defaulter nor does any one lay
such charge against him. What eff
feet the fact that Austin had borrow
ed money from B. II. Wright of the
Department of Public Works, may
have had upon the conduct of the latter
one cannot say. Certainly by borrow
ing from Wright, whose accounts he
had to examine and pass upon he had
placed himself in an embarrassing con-
dition towards Wright. But it can be
and is charged that Mr.. Austin's ac-
tions have rendered him entirely USE
less in his capacity of Auditor.
This is a very unfortunate condition
of affairs, the Star readily grants it,
but it is a condition of affairs that the
Governor could not allow to go on, and
he will have every support in his effort
to put an end to a condition of affairs
which was bringing scandal upon one
of the most important departments of
the government.

ability to do; that capacity in man,

to this, then, that American la

better paid, than ours; and that Amer
lean manufacturing development is due
to the persistent, unresting industry
which once characterized the BritCn,
but for which trade uniOnism and
athletics have given an apparently
growing distaste.
All the reporters, however seem
struck with the strenuOusness of Anne
rican life. The comparative absence of
a lesured class is noted as one of the
prominent characteristics of the prin-
cipal cities and industrial centers of
the United States. In the avenues Of
industry a man without a regular bust
ness, or who is not concerned in the
development of some industry is as
fish out of water. Nowhere, we are as
sured, is the struggling youth more
kindly encouraged, more generously
aided and more readily trusted than IN
America; and it is pleasant to read of
an esprit du corps among work man
ayers which one would hardly expect 20
find in a land of such feverish competi-
ton"

There have been rumors with regard
- the Auditor for some time, but the
majority Of people have been loath to
believe them. Now these rumors come
in definite shape, and the Auditor will
have to answer them. 1t is no case of
calumny, it is a case in which definite
charge is made. 1t must be remember
ed that what would be but venial con-
duct in another person, becomes a very
serious charge against an Auditor.
a very serious charge is that which
may be called the Chillingworth
charge" Here the Auditor is repre-
scented as striving to obtain the loan of
money from Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth, the loan to come from public
funds in the hands of Chillingworth
through his official position. The APP
plicauon were made twice, once in
August and again in the current
month. Austin in his position Of Audi
tor knew that Chillingworth was in
charge of public funds, and knew that
his own duty was to supervise the vari-
Gus departments in such a way that
employees of the government should be
prevented from making use of public
funds for private purposes. If this
charge can be directly proved it would
be more than damaging. But if it werO
only proved that Austin attempted to
borrow money from Chillingworth it
would, from the position Austin held,
