The Atlantic Coast Line is changing
coal burning locomotives into wood
burners. 1t is fortunate in that it goes
through a country where wood can be
had at a reasonable price. Western and
Northern roads must burn coal and pay
the exorbitant price. In Raleigh many
persons are forced to discard their coal
stoves and buy wood burning stoves be-
cause of the coal strike and the high
price of coal. And the price continues to
soar upward.

WHAT EXCUSE CAN SENATOR
PRITCHARD GIVE? q

Senator Pritchard has two traits that
have made him popular as public speak
err among his party in Mitchell and Mad
ison counties-a poor memory and thick
skin. But these qualities have not added
to his reputation in his debate through
out the State with Mr.. Craig. He wrote
his speech before the. Greensboro Con-
vention and has been making it every day
since, with slight variations, although it
has been punctured with holes from top
to bottom. He is accurate in few of his
statements and his statistics. When his
mistakes are exposed and his errors cor.
rected, he either does not know it or
affects not to know it, and goes on the
next day repeating over and over again
the statements which have been shown
to be Incorrect. Two weeks ago it was
shown that Senator Pritchard voted
against the principle of pensioning Con-
federate soldiers, and has never voted
after day he goes on reiterating his
statement as if no correction of it had
been made. That plan was popular with
Mitchell county Republicans; it will not
win in the whole State.
The Chatham Record this week calls
attention to the poor memory OF Mr..
Pritchard that calls for an explanation.
1t says:
Senator Pritchard asserted in his
speech at this place that he voted against
the pension bill in the Legislature OF
1885 because it gave a pension to men
who had $500 worth of property listed
for taxation. In making this assertion
the Senator was guilty of a mistake, to
put it mildly. Whether this mistake 60
was made Intentionally or through igno-
rance We know not.
1.-The truth is that bill expressly for
bade pension being paid to any veteran
or widow who had $500 worth of property
listed for taxation. If any person doubts
this we refer him to the bill itself, which
is chapter PA of the Public Laws OF
1885, The very first section OF that act
has the following proviso at its end, to-
wit: Provided, the said person shall own
less than five hundred dollars worth OF
property listed for taxation And such
a provso is still in the present pension
law.
$50, the only excuse given by Senator
Prtchard for voting against giving pen
sion to disabled Confederate veterans is
not founded on facts, and is worse than
no excuse!
Now, Senator, what excuse can you
give?"

AFRAID TO FACE THE MUSIC.

Mr.. Lindsey Patterson, the Dependent
Upon Republican-Vo candidate for Con-
gress in the Fifth district, made speech
in Durham on Wednesday night. Among
other things he is quoted as making this
charge against Mr.. Kitchin:
81 understand that my opponent has
been recently among you, and, follow
ing the example of VIM. j. Bryan, has
been attempting to start up here among
the people where the wage-earners gets
more for his labor than in any other city
in North Carolina, a strife that was
started by his prototype six years ago."
Mr.. Patterson is very careful to decline
to meet Mr.. Kitchin in joint canvass
before making that statement. If he had
made it in a debate, Mr.. Kitchin would
have shown that it is Mr.. Patterson who
is going about the district appealing to
class.
Mr.. Patterson has no right to make
such misleading statements about Mr.
Kitchin. If he wishes to do so, he ought
to face the music like man, accept
the challenge for joint discussion, and
let the people hear both sides. The
people of the Fifth district are accus-
toned to joint debates. Is Mr.. Patterson
afraid to face the music? II so, he cannot
receive the votes of the good people OF
that district If he will not meet Mr..
Kitchin face to face he ought not to make
statements about him that are not just
or fair.
The unfair allusion to VIM. j. Bryan is
doubtless an extract from Mr.. Patterson's
speech he made as Palmer and Buckner
elector in 1896. The people who heard
that speech gave about 500 votes in all
North Carolina to Mr.. Patterson as cleo
tor. He will not get that many votes this
year in addition to the solid Radical vote
which was promised him when Postmast-
er Reynolds put a paddock on his mouth
to prevent his running it up against the

Many Petition for Pardon for Young Man
Who Committed Crime.


One of the worst crimes ever committed
in North Carolina was by a young man
in Guilford county. His girl victim was
cruelty wronged His conviction was
widely approved as a just sentence. A.
M. Scales, Esq, of Greensboro, was here
this week to ask a pardon for Murrow,
and the matter IS now before the Gov
ernor. He will no doubt give the appli-
cation long and serious consideration be-
fore cutting the sentence down six
seventies.
(Here followed a clipping from the
Greensboro Record.)
If guilty, it was zone of the worst
crimes" ard the girl was cruelty
wronged." If newly discovered evidence
shows Murrow to have been improperly
convicted he ought to be indicated and
pardoned. 1t would be lasting stigma
upon the State for an innocent man to
remain in prison under this charge. This
paper said of the Governor. "He will no
doubt give the application long and
serious consideration before cutting the
sentence down six-sevenths.'' If Mr.
Scales is right-and he is nearly always
right-the Governor will pardon, but in
so grave a case it will be only after
Tong and serious consideration.-Edito

Both gentlemen expounded the doctrines
Of their respective parties in a master
ly manner and stirred the enthusiasm OF
their partisan friends to high pitch at
times. The dignity and fairness which
the people of North Carolina have
right to expect in Senatorial represen-
tative of the grand old State were Woe
fully lacking in Mr.. Pritchard's manner,
he being prone at times to descend r. the
level of pothouse politician when facts
and figures would not sustain him. He
is not lacking in ingenuity when 1t
comes to fixing the responsibility for the
mssdeeds of himself and his party. There
is nothing of the buffer or braggart in
Mr. Craig's manner. He is logical and
candid in his arguments and appeals to
The Judgment of an audience rather than
to its prejudices or passions. Despite
his hoarseness he gave every evidence
here that his reputation for eloquence is
we'll deserved. On State issues Mr..
Craig was particularly forceful, while
Mr.. Pritchard deals in generalities and
uncalled for personalities.
