AN IMPORTANT MEETING.

The most important event in North
Carolina this week is the Good Roads
and Educational Conference in session
at Fayetteville. The people OF thai
city. with commendable enterprise, are
taking a leading part in the two most
important matters that now concern
the people of North Carolna--making
better public schools and better roads.
They are twin spirits of progress and
are dependent upon each other. The
men who are doing most for public
schools are almost always the same
men who are doing most for the better
ment of public roads.
In the old days Fayetteville had the
hest roads in the State running from
that prosperous borough to Central and
Piedmont North Carolina. 1t suffered
severely by the war. 1t is now goine
forward and rapidly regaining it's former
prestige 1t has new large cotton mills
silk mills and other growing industries;
If is putting on new and modern steam
ship lines on the Cape Fear river; and
now it is building firmly on the founda-
ton of good roads and good schools,
setting an example to every other town
and city in the State. Good roads and
good public schools must be the mudsills
of any towns substantial progress and

this section for the amendment; he had
the courage and ability to stand And
it is for these qualities that her people
so greatly love and so fully trust him.
Senator Vance used to say in the clos
ing DAYS of his life that the longer he
lived 1.-THE stronger became his convic-
ton that cowardice of one sort of anoth-
or was the very top-root of all evil, and
that courage was the highest quality of
man or politician. Measured by this
standard of our greatest man, Locke
Craig is today the ideal leader of an
unterrified Democracy, for political
courage that his dearest foe will not
deny him.
Mr.. Craig mas ever been singularly
STRAIGHTFORWARD and direct in his DO
litical as in his private career. His rec
ord is clear cut. TTe has none of the
political strength of men who have an
tagcnized no one, and are therefore
without convictions. Whatever strength
he has is of the positive and not the
&c gative sort. He has never lodged or
been afraid to take his stand on one
side or the other Of public questions, and
then to fight for his position with all
his strength. This great quality of po-
litical courage has endeared him to the
fighting Democracy of the State.
Other men that have rendered like
services to the party have been sub
stantially recognized? Mr.. Craig has
not The people have always been for
him, but they had not the opportunity
For him have been the heat and battle
of party conflict, but not the honors
and rewards. But we, who are his
friends, who have known his hard SER
vices and party devotion, hope and be-
lieve that, like a soldier in the army Of
Napoleon, he has carried the field mar
shal's baton in his knapsack and will
now have the fortune to be publicly bre-
veted for the gallant services in the
face of the enemy.
The election of Hon. Locke Craig for
the United States Senate would mean
the success of real, genuine Democracy

THERE Is NO DIFFERENCE.

1t requires more than a column OF the
Madison County Record to print the list
of names of parties released by the
County Commissioners from the payment
of poll tax The Record says the whole
scheme and conspiracy is too plain fol
them TO attempt to conceal their pur-
pose and asks:
what is the difference between col
lecting taxes out of the people and pay
ing for votes direct, and releasing man
from paying their taxes who have plenty
of property, for no other reason than to
influence his voter"
There is no real difference, but Re-
publicans always regard the public FUND
as theirs to do with as they please h
the National party can vote subsidies to
ship-owning trusts, in return for big
campaign contributions, why cannot the
Republican commissioners of Madison
Senator Pritchards own county--us(
the public money to exempt their favor
ties from the payment of poll tax? Why
not?

great deal of talk about operating a
knitting mill over at Wentworth. The
site is right at the base of Ball Noun
tain, Jr., from whose top the eye can
take in the country around for many
miles.
The County Commissioners have de-
cided to hasten the erection of a large
and comfortable building to be used for
the care and protection of the county in

The Spray Land and Power Company
about five years ago established the town
of Spray, which is today an enterprising
place of 5000 people, and has five large
cotton factories Spray boasts of the
second spinning mill in the State. Quite
an immense business is carried on there
Farm labor is getting to be a serious
problem in this section. The mines of
West Virginia are the centre of attrac
ton for negroes, and the railroads have
carried them away by thousands in the
last twelve months.
Mr.. c.. o. McMichael of Madison, says
the suit against Postmaster Lewis, Dr.
McAnally and Policeman Webster,
brought by Mr.. Pope, will not amount to
a great deal. He says there is no ground
for the suit, as DR.. McAnally was twenty
miles from Madison when Pope went
there to collect an assessment, and that
the policeman only did his official duty
Mr.. McMichael thinks the Republicans
do not like to remove the postmaster
outright and so they are trying to have
him incarcerated in Jail in Virginia to
compel him to vacate the office.
The cutting off of so many colored
voters in this county makes a nominal
ton by the Democrats equivalent to an
election. This fact has produced more
candidates for county Officers than ever
known before.

A NEW CANDIDATE.

The papers have great deal to say
about candidates for the Presidency on
the Democratic ticket in 1904. AS the
prospects brighten for Democratic sue
cess the number of candidates will null
tiply, and there are many evidences of
Democratic victory. The pendulum of
trust rule, cruelty to the Filipinos, ex-
travagance, contempt of popular govern
ment, and colonialism has swung so far
that thoughtful men are alarmed. They
see that Republication has degenerated
into Socialism in which only the few
partake,
There seems to be a well organized
movement to bring Senator Bailey, of
Texas, forward as a candidate for the
Presidency. He is a man of great abil-
ity and in the Tillman- McLaurin expul-
sion debate put the Republican great
lawyers to flight Yesterdays Whining
ton Messenger had this item about Mr..
Bailey:
within a week the representative of
this district in the House, Hon. John D.
Bellamy, said to us that Mr.. Bailey was
the ablest lawyer in the Senate and a
man of first rate ability. AS the great
old Senators Morgan and Vest shall
presently disappear from the Senate, it
hopeful and pleasant to know that in
Senator Bailey the South has In the
United States Senate so able, so thor
oughly equipped, so we'll balanced and

Well meaning and really worthy peo-
pie often err when sickness and disease
come to them Too often they are con-
tent to follow blindly the advice of sec
ond rate physicians, who in nine cases out
% every ten fail to properly diagnose the
ills they care called upon TO cure. Too
frequently our sick people put their trust
and confidence in common, advertised
pills, nervines, Sarsaparillas. and other
liquid connections. Terrible disappoint-
ments and results come to the users Of
such medicines; sickness and disease are
aggravated-their dangers vastly in
creased
