KING EDWARDS MISTAKE.

King Edward thinks he'll be king,
And not a figurehead;
Tradition go to pot" says he;
I'm a king, a king I'll be
royal thoroughbred.
Oh, Ed you are a foolish man
To let your soft snap go;
Your salary will be the same
When you in fact as well as name,
Are Englands king, you know.
Put off your foolish notion Ed,
To sway as William sways,
You are not built to be as he,
Why worry when you might be free
To dawdle through the days?
Who goes in search of trouble finds
1t lurking everywhere;
Why not let well enough alone
And sort of hang around the throne
To let them know you're there?

lima had ten times as many State
officers exempted on certificates OF

The statement only goes to show
that North Carolina was, by far, the
greatest and grandest figure of the
Confederacy. She not only lost 33
per cent. of the sons she sent to do
battle, but she kept more sinecures at
home-fOr seed-than all the rest put
together.
lam not interested in the ''exempts"
and in the Certificates" because that
proposition is too absurd to notice
but am deeply interested in holding
the record North Carolina has enjoy
ed since the war ended, and which
she is Justly entitled to, or all the
records published since the Confeder-
acy fell are absolutely false and
worthless.
North Carolina officials should not
permit this statement ofJudge Chris
tian to go ounchallenged. They should
demand that the truth be handed
down to posterity. A State that
permits its proud record to be wrest-
ed from it sinks to the depth of the
historian who falsely claims for his
people, or himself, that which does
not belong to them, or him.
Ihope some one capable and worthy
will take up this gauntlet and hurl it
back with a force sufficient to con-
vince even a Virginian that North
Carolina was a part of the Confeder-
acy at, least. W. F. BEASLEY.

The Lieutenant Goyernorshlp.
Charlotte Observer.


While the nomination for Governor
next year is in active request, there
does not appear to be the usual COM
petition for the lieutenant governor
ship. 1t has been understood for
some weeks, we believe, that ex-Judge
Francis D. Winston, of BERTHE, would
Offer for this nomination, and Repre-
sentative George L. MJrton, of New
Hanover, gave it to be understood
Friday night that he also would be a
candidate for it. While in the aver
age mind this office is not invested
with great Importance, the possibili-
ties in connection with it suggest care
in the selection of a candidate for it,
especially when it is known in ad-
vance that the candidate will be
elected. While, in normal circum-
stances, the Lieutenant Governors
duties are restricted to making up
the Senate committees and presiding
over that body, that officer may be-
come Governor by the removal of his
chief by death or other cause. This
has occurred four times in North Car
olina within the past thirty years,
Caldwell succeeding Holden, Brogden
succeeding Caldwell, Jarvis succeed
ing Vance, and Holt following Fowle.
And, too, the second officer is acting
Governor during tho absence OF the
Governor from the State for any
number of days, as for instance, Mr..
Turner acted last year for Governor
Aycock when the latter went to New
York to deliver an address before the
North Carolina Society of that city
or was it when he went to Charles
ton Exposition? We forget, but no
matter. The suggestion is that
the lieutenant gOyernOrship is by no
means an inconsequential Office. 1t
is position of dignity and honor, to
begin with, and its occupant may
become the head Of the State govern.
