Why should you attend the sale of
| large tracts Of timbered lands in the
northern part of this county by E. L.
Baxter Davidson, executor?
Because there will be a great demand
for lumber to rebuild the Central Hotel
by Mrs Aats and Mrs, Wriston, and Mr..
Stuart w Cramer will soon put modern
Tourist Hotel on South Tryon street, and
DR.. c. G.. McManaway will also put up
a Family Hotel on West Trade street
and Mr.. Dabney w. Scoville, of Atlanta,
Ca, contemplates putting up a fine
hotel opposite the First Presbyterian
church in the near future.
Another reason: The executors of the
late Mr.. H. G. Springs will before long
offer for sale the largest amount of gilt
edged centrally located real estate ever
owned by one individual in the city and
it will be Immediately built up.
The timber on these tracts is superior
to that of Eastern Carolina timber, be-
cause it has never been "bIed," and re-
tains it's resinous properties, and there
fore will last much longer.
The large amount of fine wood can be
sold at Huntersville to supply Col. w.
T. Holt and Mr.. J. S. Spencer's cotton
factory, and there is enough wood on the
above lands. to supply Charlotte for
years, even if the coal miners and coal
employees fail to succeed in getting their
differences arjusted by President Roose-
Welt, Morgan and Mitchell and others.
There are on Mcdowell creek the finest
lands for a stock farm in the country,
and the fine bottom lands are we'll
adapted to corn, cotton and grains of all
kinds 1t is the biggest lot of timber
in the county, and the finest In his
speech at Asheville, President Roose-
Welt spoke about the preservation of our
timber lands.
The land can be cut up in small tracts
and small farms can be sold.
The above lands are all on the famous
Mecklenburg macadam roads.

THE LAST, EXPIRING CAMPAIGN
SANDER.

The same gang of so-called Independ-
in Greensboro and nominated Hill for
Chief Justice, also, with few exceptions,
met at the same time and place and
nominated Lindsey Patterson for Con-
gress. There wasn't straight Democrat
present. The editor of the Charlotte OBJ
server, who was present at the Hill mass
meeting, gives last blow at Mr.. Kitch-
in, saying in yesterdays paper:
1--WE should like very much indeed to
see Mr.. Lindsay Patterson elected to
Congress in the fifth district. We do
not know how it fares with him, but he
would make a safe and capable Repre-
sentative He is friend of every legiti-
mate interest in the State and is not
given to stirring up strife between
classes"
In his speech at Durham, Mr.. Kitchin
showed to the satisfaction of all just and
fair minded men that the charge
that he was "given to stirring up strife
between classes" made by Mr.. Patterson,
was false. Every enemy of Democracy
has sought to injure Mr.. Kitchin by
spreading that report far and wide, and
using every influence, proper and improper,
in and out of the district, to injure him.
No man in the State has been subjected
to more malicious Misrepresentation by
tho nd
the Southern Railway than Mr.. Kitchin,
And with Doodle a plenty. they will con-
tinue the fight until the polls close. They
hate him because he votes in Congress
as he speaks on the stump, and because
he cannot be controlled by trust mag
mates and railroad bosses. He does not
talk against trusts and subsidies on the
stump and then vote for both, or quietly
help both IL Congress. More than that:
Vile Gazette hate him for another rea-
son-because of his notable speech at the
Greensboro State Convention. The enmity
Of the Tobacco Trust, the Southern Rail-
way, the Charlotte Observer the Morning
Post. and the Asheville Gazette is a deco
ration of honor OF which Mr.. Kitchin
ought to be proud. eve love him for
the enemies he has made"
1t is the same gang that tried to pre-
vent the nomination of Judge Clark by
the State Convention, the same gang that
opposed the National Democratic ticket
in 1896 and 1900, the same gang that in
every contest between the Man and Dol
lar. stands for the rule of the Dollar. To-
day they will meet their Waterloo in the
Fifth district and in every other part OF
North Carolina. No tears.
Mr.. p. D. Watt, the successful and ag-
gressiye chairman in Rockingham coun-
tv voices the sentiment of every true
Democrat in North Carolina in the fol-
lowing telegram which appears elsewhere
in today's paper:
1.-THE voters of the Fifth district should
and will resent the interference OF the
anti-CIark, anti Kitchin, and anti-D
cratic daily Charlotte Observer, today

New Bern, N. c., Nov. 3.--At . o'clock
Saturday morning Marshal H. w. Jewell
went to the house of Alexander Tuten,
one of the we'll known family of illicit
distillers, who live near Edwards. When
Tuten realized that the officers were af-
ter him, he broke through the window
sash, blinds and all and made his es-
cape.
An hour after Mr.. Jewell went to the
home of Ichabod Moore, who is a cOmpan-
ion moonshiner with Tuten, and aroused
him.

he was taken before United States Com

For more than one hundred years the
vote Of New York State has been an
uncertain quantity. 1t was as pivotal in
the days of Burr, Van Buren, and Sey
mour as it is today. Since the over
whelming defeat of the Democratic party
in 1894, in the second year of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration, New York has
given large Republican majorities ex
cept in the year 1897 when Judge Parker
was elected and in 1898 when Judge Van
Wyck lacked only $4,000 of defeating
Roosevelt. All eyes are today turned
upon New York. Two weeks ago it
seemed certain that The Republicans
would win easily. Today while the odds
seem to be with the Republicans, the
election is admittedly in doubt. vic
tory in the Empire State this year would
almost insure the election of the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency in
1904 The closeness of the vote this year
shows mighty trend toward Democracy.
The New York Herald of Sunday print
ed it's second election forecast which in
dictated a strong drift toward the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. The Her
aid thus makes a summary of it's canvass
which it says has been made without
sparing labor or expense:
"The result of this is to lower the total
pluralities of Governor Odell to 114,326,
from $4,000 of a week ago; and to in
crease the pluralities of Mr.. Golfer from
90, 953 of a week ago to 1928. This
gives Governor Odell a lead of only 1913
votes over Mr. Coler.
THE postal card polls of New York
and Kings counties and the estimates of
Queens and Richmond counties give
Golfer lead in the greater city of 1885,
22S over OdeIl. The Republicans will
regard these figures with scepticism, and
it is doubtful if Tammany will fail to
be surprised The division of the in
Dictated Coler pluralities is:

THE SCHOOL FUNDS.

In recent speech Hon. E. F. Noel
gave utterance to the following
words:
1.-The money appropriated to pub
lie education is not, and has not
been, divided among the white and
colored children according to their
respective numbers, nor would such
a distribution be fair. Each race is
taught by teachers of its own color.
The white teachers are generally SUI
perlor in intelligence, training and
capacity, and theU cost of living and
value of their services in other avo-
cations is much higher, consequent
ly they are and ought to be paid
much better salaries.
1.-THE state superintendent of edu-
cation states that SO per cent of the
children of school age are negroes,
and yet these SO per cent receive but
q per cent of the money appropria-
ted for education in common schools
and colleges, thus giving to the white
children five times as much as to the
colored, and that if all the,taXes for
school purposes paid by each race
were appropriated to the children of
that race, and the taxes from rail
roads and other like corporations,
chiefly owned by non-resldents, were
divided among the children of both
races according to their number, the
negroes would get more school mon
ely than atpresent."
This somewhat knocks the prop
out from under Major Vardaman's
argument to the effect that he would
like to see the school funds divided
according to the amounts the two
races put in. It seems from the
above that the negro is not now get
ting the amount to which he is enti-
tied according to law.

Der Of counties special orders have
been issued by the boards of supervi-
sOrs to the road overseers to thor
oughly work the public highways
and place their respective districts
in good condition prior to the autumn
rains, and it is probable that the
states thoroughfares will be in a
better condition during the winter
than heretofore.
The good roads movement in Mis-
sissippi, however, has not had the
good effect which was anticipated,
and the Good Roads Association
which was organized with a great
flourish of trumpets last summer
apparently exists in name only, as
no arrangements have been made for
the annual meeting.
Several counties have recently
adopted the contract road law with
notifications, and will make a test
of its practical working effects. The
latest county to take this step is
Oktibbeha, where a special commit
tee was appointed last week to pre-
pare and carry out the plans.

Gen. Rucker Of Alabama takes a
kind of gloomy view of the political
situation IN that state. He says the
democratic party is torn in two and
that 1t will remain torn in two UNI
til there is not enough of it to tear.
There is Jelks' faction on one side and
the Johnson faction on the other, and
that they are pulling against each
other like dogs over n sheep bone.
1t is his opinion that the populists
and republicans will get together in
the next election and carry the state.
There are $4,000 votes IN the state
OF these the populists have 10000
and the republicans $4,000 with the
balance and the bag to be held by
the two factions of the democratic
party. This shows the need of two
strong political parties in Alabama,
one to keep the other in the middle
of the road. And what is here said
