A Good Year for Game.
New Bern JOurnal.)

The sportsmen are improving the time
given them by law to indulge in their ia
vorite pastime. Hardly day passes but
some handsome trophy of the chase is
seen in town. the evidence of skill in
craftsmanship. This season has been
exceptionally good for all kinds of game.
The birds are plump and the running game
are fat and in good condition. The fields
afford abundant subsistence this year for
all animals and birds
There were received at the Oaks market
this week, twenty-five pairs of wild ducks,
of the black and mallard variety. They
were shot at a point below Newport and
shipped here to be put on sale. Purchas-
ers were easily found for them.
Messrs. Tom Carraway and B. f.. Law
renee went hunting near Croatan Thanks
giving. Mr.. Carraway shot a fine buck
deer weighing ninety pounds. They bag
ged a lot of other game.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT OUGHT TO GO ONE
STEP FURTHER.

In giving out to the public the gist of
scandals that have disgraced the post
Office department Mr.. Roosevelt says the
chief offenders were Tyner, Machen and
Beavers, but he names twenty-four others
who were engaged in the policy of graft
and corruption. The president says that
some will escape because of the statute
of limitation and that all the powers of
government will be invoked to bring to
punishment the guilty men. 1t is recon-
mended that the statute of limitations be
extended in the case of government SER
wants to a period of FIVE years. Conclud-
ing, Mr.. Roosevelt breaches sound doc
trne in these vigorous words:
mo crime calls for sterner Reproduction
than the crime of corruptionist in pub
lie life, and of the man who seeks to
corrupt him. The bribe-giver and the
bribe-taker are equally guilty Both alike
sin against the primary law of the States
safety. ALI questions of difference in
party policy sink into insignifcancc when
face to face with a question like this
which lies at the root of honest and
decent government. On this question,
and on all others like it we can afford
to have no division among good citizens,
In the last resort, good laws and good
administration alike must rest upon the
broad basis of sound public opinion. a
dull public conscience, an easy-going ac-
quiescence in corruption, infallibly means
debasement in public life, and such de-
basement in the end means the ruin OF
our institutions. Selfgovernment be-
comes a farce if the representatives OF
the people corrupt others or are them
selves corrupted. Freedom is not a gift
which will tarry long in the hands Of
the dishonest or OF those so foolish or
so incompetent as to tolerate dishonesty
in their public servants. Uuder our sys-
TEN, all power comes from the people
and all punishment rests ultimately with
the people. The liberation of the wrong.
not the exposure of the wrong is the real
offense."
This is the way to talk. There is one
other thing that Mr.. Roosevelt ought to
do and do at once, towit: Get a new
Post Master General. The present in
cumbent has shown marked unftness in
two particulars: /. The corruption went
on month after month right under his
nose and he knew so little of the work
he had in hand that he never suspected
it. 2. When the matter was brought to
his attention, he made light of it and
tried to discredit those who had unearthed
the conspiracy Of corruption. No man
blind enough not to see the stealing aid
graft with which his department is hon
ey-comhed in fit for public office. and
no man who wishes to cover up fraud
when brought to his attention ought to
be retained in public positions a single

GOV. AYCOCK IN FRANKLIN.
He Delights Parents and Children
at IngIeside Academy.
Especial to News and observer)

Ingleside, N c., Nov. 3O.-At Ingleside
Governor Aycock, by invitation of Miss
Ivey Mitchell, assistant teacher at the
Ingleside Academy, addressed the school
and general public, on the subject of The
Democracy of Education
The Governor was looking well and
made one of the best of his always good
speeches, which was thoroughly enjoyed
by every man, woman and child present.
He was introduced in a most appropriate
manner, by Hon. F. S. Spruill. A pleas
ant sight was the Governor smiling and
shaking hands with the host of school
children as they passed him in single
file.
In spite of the fact that snow was
falling the entire afternoon, the crowd
was very good. The Epson High School
and full force of teachers, besides other
representatives were present and gladly
welcomed. The Governor has doubtless
addressed many large audiences, but never
a more appreciative one.

THE LAND THAT GOD FORGOT.

1t is the theory of our government
that the national administration looks
carefully after the interests of the people
living in the territories, treating them
as children and wards until such time AS
they are prepared for statehood. There
is theory also that imperial governments
look carefully after the welfare of col
onists.
The practice is that the people living in
territories have put over them to govern
them men to whom the party in power
owes something they cannot give in a
state where the people can vote. The
men given offices in territories are rarely
men who would be selected by the voters,
but the kin and proteges of men who have
a pull In colonies the younger sons
and hangers on of royalty are usually sent
out to govern in order to let their kin
expatriate them in a respectable manner.
AS to how the people living in the
Indian Territory feel, and as to their
hope for recognition and proper treat
ment, the following statement made by
Col. Douglass, of Muskegee, to the Wash
ington Post, is quite novel:
1--WE have a way of calling the Indian
Territory, the land that God forgot, and
the phrase is expressive not of irrever-
ence, but sorrow. Here is as splendid a
region as the sun shines on, containing
100000 white people, good and true
Americans as any in the nation, who are
absolutely ignored ana nes4e
powers that be. We have no laws, no
public free schools, and the rising gen
Grafton is growing up in ignorance. The
problem is a serious one, but in view of
recent events it may be solved.
Here is my remedy: Let the white
citizens get up in revolution in the near
future and declare themselves an indie
pendent country.' Having executed t..1s
coup d'etat, let them get the government
of Colombia to recognize the new nation.
colombia will no doubt do so with alac-
rity, and this being done, the United
States will be bound on every theory
of consistency to follow suit. In this way
we will be able to get public education
and all the other essentials of civiliza-
tion."

DIED "A-BORNlN".

The Washington Post has cartoon
showing Mr.. Cleveland, out of breath and
With perspiration pouring from his face
caused by his unsuccessful chase after
the presidential nomination-writing his
statement that he could not accept the
nomination. That's the size of it. The
propaganda for the nomination of the ex-
president was conducted with great
energy 1t was expected by those who
begun the agitation that the suggestion
would evoke enthusiasm. Instead of do
ing so, 1T met a chilly reception. The
boom died "a-bornin'.' and is now taken
in to save it from the comins chilly
winter.
1t is greatly to the credit of Mr.. Cleye
land that he has at last seen the hand
writing on the wall and has withdrawn
his name from consideration He still
has friends who followed MIN in his bolt
in 1896 and 1900 from the party. 1t is
to be hoped that he will exert his infiu-
ence to induce them to return to the
Democratic fold, and that all Democrats,
who were united in 1892, will forget the
rancors of the past ten years, and join
hands to elect the nominee of 1904. The
Republicans owe their 1896 victory solely
to Mr.. Cleveland and his followers, and
are indebted to them largely for the 1900
victory. If all Democrats get together
in 1904 the country ought to be relieved
of Roosevelt.

Perry Heath is now posing as a martyr
to Inspector Bristows personal enmity.
He says that Bristow has personal malice
and because of it has pursued him for
six years Whenever a public man is assail

always poses as a martyr" and says
he is ''persecuted'' if he is humbug; if
he is just a plain wrong doer, without

To Encourage Local Tax--What Supt
Joyner Sees in this Timely
Help.

State Superintendent of Public Instruc
ton J. Y. Joyner yesterday morning re-
ceived the following letter, which speaks
for itself:
Newton, N. c., Nov. %, 1903.
Hon. j. Y. Joyner, State superintendent,
Raleigh. n. c.
Dear Sir: We have watched closely
the work you are doing to better the pub
lie schools and advance the cause of edu-
cation in North Carolina. We feel deep
interest in this matter and believing, as
we do. that local taxation is the one thing
needful to supplement the public schools
we desire to make the following PROPOSE
ton with the hope that it will not only
encourage communities where tax is
voted for, but aid in cultivating a love
of the beautiful:
Beginning with the year 1904, we offer
$500 worth of ornamental trees, shrub
berry etc, or any class of nursery stock
desired to every community or school
where the people vote a tax upon them
selves to supplement the public fund. We
offer also $1,000 worth as above stated to
every graded school established in the
country.

Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-06-23

We note with fear and tremb-
ling that Editor Greer, of Way
cross, chits editor Mercer, of
Fitzgerald, on his grammar,
because our time may come next;
but then, Editor Greer must re-
member that we had only three
months term with the "blue
back" alone.-Douglas Breeze.
Editor Greer no doubt believes,
and with good reason that an un-
educated man should not attempt
to edit paper, in this enlightened
age.
Ont that hypothesis man, wheth-
erhe edits paper orsets himself
up as a leaderin politics, and who
has committed himself frantically
to the follies that whelmed the
democratic party in the last two
national campaigns should not
attempt now to pose as a oracle.
The editor of the Enterprise
does not write correct grammar.
The few months we devoted to
Reading, Riting and Rithmetic
did not give us opportunity to
give much attention to Smiths
Grammar but we have no apollo
gies to make since we make no
pretensions to literary merit.
Our purpose is to point out the
evil and advocate the good as
best we can. Political mistakes
fall within the range of our edi-
torial rights. In this connection
we are free to state that had we
belonged to the 10 to iackass
brigade of 4 and s years ago, we
would now sing low on politics,
however good our grammar
might be.
