WESTERN RAIDS IN SORRY SHAPE

Especial to News and Observer
Waynesville, N. c., Sept 17.-If
any one has a vain idea that the
Republicans of Western North Caro-
lima are in good shape, they should
disabuse their minds of the misap-
prehension. The party is disor-
ganized, it lacks enthusiasm, and like
a lot of helpless infants they have
turned everything over to the revenue
ring with full authority to do what
they please. The Republican Sena-
torial convention held in this city on
the 14th inst, was dead give-aWay
of the deplorable condition of the
party. Out of four counties. one of
which is in the hands of the Repub-
leans only about a dozen delegates
could be scared up.
Thomas l.. Green was nominated
for the Senate. The nominating
speech was made by Mr.. Smathers.
Mr.. Green spoke about five minutes,
thanking the convention for the hon
or and predicting his election.

and high water many farmers from y

More Reports of Damage.
Many larger planters who live near
the Neuse and other rivers in this
county were in the city today From
them is learned the true conditions
and results of the great flood of this
week. Several farmers told me that
conservative estimate of the loss to the
corn crop in this county is ten thou
sand barrels. For miles up the river
bottoms every barrel of corn has been
wiped out of existence. One large
planter, who lives close to the Wake
line, was here TODAY. He said that
the waters are now back in the regu-
lar channels and that this morning he
went over a portion of his bottom
land. 1.-The corn has already begun to
sour" he said, "and my entire cron
of river corn is gone. There are few
exceptions to this, where there was
knoll or small hill near. the river.
When the water reached an ear of
corn it is ruined. 1 believe that a

The capital stock of the Durham
Iron Company has been increased by
adding $4,000. Most of this stock
was taken at the meeting of the stock
holders when the increase was decided
upon. The company contemplates'
placing considerable new machinery an

The military court of inquiry, apr
pointed to look into the accident to
the military train near Goldsboro ana
fix responsibility for the death OF two
soldiers and wounding of two others,
will probably hold the last sitting
next week. Sometime ago the court
adjourned subject to the call of Presi-

through military channels. These wit
nesses have been summoned and the
next sitting of the court Will then

and yet, after its crowd, assisted by one
or two cohorts, had formed a conspiracy
to work the courts for political purposes,
but which effort Judge Mason nipped
in the bud TO their sad disappointment,
they were not able TO muster up sin
gle case that twelve honest men Of the
county took any stock in. One Of the
cases they did lay stress on turned out,
according to the information given out
by the News, to be such that involved
and implicated a Democratic office
holder. This fresh breakout of warbling
against alleged Illegal voting is the re-
suit Of disposition to mislead the peo-
pie and further as the result of the be-
lief that the fellow who accused this
Democratic ofiice-holder is out of the
country and will not return to prosecute
him. Sometimes, however, people can
be too fast in thinking they are safe
and it might be well for the clique just
at this time not to count itself free from
impending danger. We have been told
that several other affidayits have been
made against members Of that clique
on account of their use of money at the
last city election, and, when the time
comes, that clique will find that 1t has
not operated in secret altogether. The
affidavit business which that clique in.
stituted will depress and repress its
members even far more than it has al
ready. Keep your eyes open and listen
for We think It is coming, and. when il
does come, there is going to be wailing
and gnashing of teeth among the mem
bers of the Democratic clique and its
cohorts.

With the Democratic sheet across the
bridge Clarksburg is all right until a
campaign is on, so much so that its
editor approves OF the ways of the city
to such an extent that he borrows the
necessary five on occasion that he may
take advantage of what he condemns
for political effect as he so frequently
.erms it. Only little over year ago
It will be remembered that that sheet
came out after its editor had had q
street brawl, declaring that it would re.
sort to the extremes to see that the
city was different. 1t used flaming head
lines for week or so telling what won
ders it intended to accomplish, but the
moment the city election was over it be.
came gentle as lamb and voiced it,
acquiescence. This shows up its meth
DDS as well as its hypocrisy. The only
reason it ever puts up hollcr is, as its
editor says. for political effect. or selfish

The News pleads ignorance of the star
chamber meetings of the Democratic
clique and says it is DESTROYS of know
ing about the meeting and who was there.
By its pleading il again informs the
public that there is Democratic clique
and thus again comedies with the Tcle-
gram. 1t also knows that the meetings
are held, as its editor has been in
them, and one time in particular paced
the floor and swore like trooper, when
the name of one Of the prominent men
of the county was suggested for place
on the slate. The clique, however, in its
anxiety TO find out who gives it and its
secret plottings away gives expression
through one of its gutter-wipers to the
desire to find out just who is doing this.
but to conceal from the public the truth
they profess not to know themselves by
making inquiries as to who they are!
There is also another lesson to be learned
from this pretended desire of theirs, and
that is that they want the people to
believe that they do not exist as a
clique. There is also another lesson, if
they are honest in that desire. 1t is that
they want TO ascertain who it is among
them who do not trust them. There is
every reason to believe from what they
say that they all distrust one another
and in consequence that old adage will
likely apply about rogues falling out and
so forth. But, if the News really does
not know and wants to know, it is our
privilege to refer them to corporation
