Springfield Republican.
The mania among our young millionaires
for running sixty miles an hour in their
automobiles at the imminent risk of life
and limb finds its prototype in the craze for
reckless driving which prevailed among
the young sprigs of English nobility in the
early years of the last century. when to
drive a four-in-hand at "a hard pace down a
dangerous hill, as is wildly described ~
Conan Doyle in his Rodney Stone" was
to earn distinction of the highest sort. But
even a runaway team is a tame equivalent
for a sixty-hOrse-pOwer motor geared up
TO seventy miles hour.

ANOTHER PARDON.
Statesyille Landmark.

The Governor has pardoned anoth-
er criminal. This is not news, for
the Governor pardons criminal
every few days. but the subject this
time is an important one-one OF the
gold brick trio caught at Greensboro
and landed in the penitentiary after
much trouble. The public will doubt
less remember the gold brick men.
The man ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS con-
ceded to be the least guilty Of the
three, but he was engaged with dss-
perate men, in conspiracy to rob
and defraud. The plan was formed
with care and mad opportunity pre-
sented the scoundrels engaged in the
Infamous scheme would unquestion-
ably have committed murder in order
to carry out their plans or to avoid
arrest. Their history showed them
to be desperate scoundrcls. They
were convicted only a few months
ago and sentenced to the pcnitenti-
airy. Now one is pardoned.
The Governors reasons for the e1,
ercise OF clemency in this case are,
with all due respect to him, puerile,
il not ridiculous. 1t is an outrags
on the law abiding people OF the
State and the country TO turn such 9

however good their intentions. aideri

MUNcHAUSEN REPORTERS.
Rocky Mount Spokesman.

In view Of some seemingly exagger-
ated reports Of the opening sales on
some of the tobacco markets OF the
State. the Spokesman is moved TO
make some comment on the same;
We are truly sorry to SEQ by the
morning papers that the newspaper
reporters, who erstwhile had such a
reputation for truth (D have degen-
Grated into first class prsvaricators
or have been tho victims Of the To-
bacco men on the various markets OF
the State, who seem to have played
upon their crsdulity to an extent, as
evidenced by the report Of sales on
the various tobacco markets OF the
East. One reports 600, 900 lbs. sold
while another descending the scale
of hyperbole claims only 100000 lbs.
the latter too on q market that has
only one sale at time and only
claims to have begun at 10 O'Clock.
Taking as basis of calculation 7
hours Of actual sale, allowing 200
piles per hour, calculating the piles
at an average Of IS pounds per pile
(Which is big average for this time
Of year) the second market could
have only sold 10000 pounds in
one day, while the former market,
with two sales at a time, and grant
ing them one hour more per day,
(making hours) could only have
sold 240,OOO pounds.
Now in Danville where they sell
three sales at time, 200 piles per
hour and from to hours per day
they have sold half million pounds
in one day.
1t seems to US it is the height OF
folly for our tobacco men or news
paper reporters to indulge in such
exaggerated statements. Nobody be-
lieves them when made. and it only
tends to discredit any report sent out
from such markets; gives the tobacco
world false idea Of the size OF the
crop and the amount Of sales and
tends to lower the price Of tobacco to
the producer; and we sincerely trust
that a stop will be put to such un.
heard of claims and that the report.
ers will be more careful about such
things. for the good of all concerned
and for their own reputation. We
can assure them that no man who
has an idea of the tobacco business
can be fooled by any such reports.
Some of the reports from the other
markets are more in the line of rea
son, and such markets did wei
enough and will profit by reporting
conservatively as people who arr
really interested will readily SET
their claims are just.

Meriwether's Republicanism.

Both the Allied Third party
and Meriwether have practical
ly fused with the Republicans.
The first has openly nominated
|. four Republicans on its munici-
pal ticket, and the latter has
named a few dummies and left
vacancies to be filled later with
friends of Republican National
Commute eman Kerens.
Yet both organizations are
trying to laud themselves as a
natural retreat for Democrats.
Last year the same men who
are now openly in league with
the Republicans and beins sup
ported by them made free silver
their slogan.
This year Meriwether, "friend
of revolving Democrats" has
completely ignored the subject.
There is not a word regarding
silver in his platform. Either
he has found that imported
talent is of no use in a cam
paign or that the talent has
discovered his own hypocrisy.
Why is il that he uses most
of his platform to denounce the
Democrats and fails to state
just what be proposes to do re-
garding the initiative and re-
ferendum? This, too, was one
OF his excuses for political ex-
istence year ago. Yet the
Democratic platform adoped in
st. Joseph speaks definitely on
the subject and promises to
take action, Meriwether
evades.
Taken all in all, where can
Meriwether go but into the Re
publican party? He has been
paid by Republican leaders for
keeping up his organization.
Republicans raised $500 for
the expenses connected with
the Coliseum meeting. If the
speakers who appeared there
were paid, they received Re
publican money,
How does this record appeal
to Democrats? Is there anv
possible excuse for condoning
such offenses against political
honor? How much is being
raised by Republican leaders
at the present time for this
sort of thing? Is 1t enough to
varnish the wickedness of the
