ANNUAL STATEMENT

Of the American Bonding Company of
Baltimore, Maryland. fer the year
ending Dec. 81, 1902:
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-04-21

Raleigh Cor. Messenger: MANAGER
j. w. Bailey, of the temperance
campaign, says that it is not GER
tain that a State Convention will be
held. He states: "The Anti-SaIoon
League is not to form a political
party, but simply to voice the pop
lar demand for moral advances in the
life of the State, particularly in ref
erence to the drink evil. We are
pleased that elections can be separate
and apart from political elections,
but we hope hal men will be elect
ed in every instances who are in sym
pathy with the laws proposed" -
Ex-senator Allen X. Smith, of
Johnston, is here and says that at a
special election in Smithfeld town
ship, Tuesday, the plan to work the
public roads by taxation was carried
by a majority of II out of 400 votes
cast. The tax will be 60 cents on
the poll and 20 cents on property.
Farmers in this section declare
that they are at least two weeks be-
hind now On account of continued
rains. President George T. Win
ston, of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College, went to Washing
ton to-day to speak in the campaign
there for issuing $4,000 in bonds for
public schools. Governor Aycock
and Commissioner of Agriculture
Patterson are now in Alamance
speaking for local taxation for
schools. Similar elections are plan
ned in Lenoir, and letters are re-
ceived urging the Governor to visit
there. Of these special elections at
various places this year it is claimed
that local taxation has won in every
instance.

Bond Suit Argued.

The case of the State of South
Dakota VS.. the State of North Caro-
Tina, which involves the validity of
certain bonds issued by this State in
1866, was argued in the United States
Supreme Court this week. The ar
gument began Monday afternoon,
continued during the sitting of the
court on Tuesday and was finished
Wednesday morning. Mr.. Wheeler
H. Peckham and others, of New
York, appeared for the State of
South Dakota; ex-senator Butler
and ex-Gov. Russell for the private
bondholders and ex-Judge Shepherd
and Merrimon, Mr.. Geo. Rountree
and Acknowledgement Gilmer for
North Carolina. The Supreme Court
Justices took much interest in the
case, which is an unusual one, and
asked many questions; and an unus-
ual thing was the granting of so
much time for argument. ordinarily
but four hours is allowed for argu-
ment in a case in that court.
The bonds in question were issued
in 1866 for railroad construction, the
original issue amounting to $780,
900. All of them except $25O,OOO
were settled by compromise in 1879.
These $25O,OOO are owned by New
York parties and $4,000 of them
were>given, it is alleged, to the State
of South Dakota for the express pur-
pose of getting that State to bring
suit to COY payment; and it is
also alleged that the New York bond
holders are prosecuting the suit in
the name of South Dakota with the
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-04-21

expectation, of course, that the de-
cision may force North Carolina to
pay all the bonds-those owned by
private parties as well as those in
the hands of South Dakota. If North
Carolina should be compelled to pay
all these bonds, which is not at all
certain, the entire amount, with &C
crued interest, would reach about
100000. If the court holds that
only those held by South Dakota
$1O,OOO-must be paid the amount
will be about $4,000.
A decision may be reached at this
term of the court or it may not be
handed down until fall.-Statesville

Political Spooks Appear.

O44LiCd4 SpOOhS AppCdIS
Political spooks are beginning to
walk. They represent the shades of
coming candidates. "Who is to fill
that ofice?" is not the question, but,
"What office is he afterY That is
the way it is. "He seeks that honor"
is the way it is put.
Within the next four years some
royal battles will be fought. One
spOok, a very agreeable and talkative
fellow, claims that Governor Ay-
cocks friends will enter him against
Senator Simmons for the latter's
seat in the National Senate. A con-
test between those brilliant political
lights would add to the gayety of the
nation. Governor Aycock is a mighty
man with the masses, while Senator
Simmons is a postmaster among the
wire-workers. The one can set the
multitude on fire, while the other can
enthuse the party leaders. Governor
Aycock is a nan of great force when
it comes to dealing with the people.
His heart is as big as a mountain
land he has a way of warming others
with it. He is a plain man, an elo-
quent man and an honest man. Mr..
Simmons has proven his mettle. If
you pick him up for an empty YES
sci you will be deceived. He has
fine political sagacity, genuine abil-
ity and superb tact. He knows how
to make men act. He is a masterful
general. If he and Governor Ay-
cock compete for his Senatorial
robe, North Carolina will be the
scene of a strenuous, well-managed
battle. The conflict will be clean,
but hard-fought. For the sake of
gayety, let it come!
The third spook said: eyes, but
there is another warrior, with keen
blade and splendid courage, who will
enter the Senatorial lists" And,
verify, I believe that the spoOk spake
the truth. The man in question is
mighty at tactics and strong with
the people. He has a calibre, large
and round, and a nerve of steel. He
has as many feet as the thousand
legged worm, and can cling like a
'possum and land like a cat. [ hear
a voice in the audience: "Name
YOUR man.; - your speech!"
"Can't you mann him." It is easy:
Judge Walter Clark. His spook de-
clares that he will be up and doing
while others sleep. Who would dare
doubt it? If you go cunning for
him he is hard to hit. It takes a
silver ball to kill a witch, but it takes
one of gold to bring down Judge
Clark. Like the tortoise, he is ever
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-04-21

is an ambitious man. His cup is
never full. He is young and power
full. In considering the Senatorial
equation he must not be forgotten.
Who is to succeed Governor Ay-
cock? Lieutenant-G Governor Turner
is first in line for the honor. He is
a capital man and has made a good
State officer. He is a very likable
fellow. But, the gates are open and
several racers stand ready to enter.
The spooks contend that Messrs. R..
A. Doughton, Theo. F. Davidson,
Locke Craig, Julian S. Carr, John S.
Cunningham, Cyrus B. Watson, r. B.
Glenn and W. W. Kitchen will be
urged by faithful supporters. There
are some good sprinters among
those named. If they grid their loins
and hustle there will be fun ahead,
and it would be very difficult to name
the winner.
The spook appointed especially to
look after the ambitions of MI. A.
D. Watts, of IredelI, claims that his
charge hopes to be chairman of the
Democrative Executive Committee to
succeed Senator Simmons, who will
in due time retire. It is also alleged
that Mr.. Watts has designs on Gen.
j. Bryan Grimes ofice-Secretary
of State. But the spooks represent
ing General Grimes and Insurance
Commissioner Young say in con-
cert: "Nay, verify, Pauline, you can
not crafty your ambitions in either
of those directions. MI. Grimes
must be Secretary of State, for he
has made a noble record and a faith
full officer, and Mr.. Young will be
chairman, for he is so fit and so
popular. Look elsewhere for YOU
plums."
It is said that Mr.. W. @. Newland,
of Caldwell, will endeavor to relieve
Congressman Kluttz Of his seat in
Congress. MI. Newland is all gold.
He will give Mr.. Kluttz a jolly run.
The name of Mr.. John E. Wood
ard, of Wilson, is being used in
connection with the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor's place. Mr.. Woodward's
friends are urging him to consider
the opportunity. He is capable and
kind-hearted, and his friends love
him and his enemies fear him.
1t is claimed that Mr.. J. F. Rein
hardt, of Lincoln, will give Treas
urer Ben Lacy a run for his office.
Mr.. Lacy is a willy fox, but if Mr..
Reinhardt can run in the State at
large as we'll as he does in Lincoln
nothing short of death would stop
him.
The Supreme Court judgeships to
be shed by Associate Justices Mont
gomery and Douglass will most like
Iy go to Judges George H. Brown
and W. A. Hoke. I have heard no
names mentioned in connection with
those high honors. After having
travelled about the State since the
last Democratic Convention [ feel
safe in declaring that Judge Brown
could not be defeated by any man
