RIB. GLENN FOR GOVERNOR.

To the Democrats Of North Carolina:
The Democrats of Forsyth county
ask you, in your next convention to
nominate>R. B. Glenn, Esq, tor Gov
ernor. In support of this request, we
respectfully call attention to the fol-
lowing reasons:
l. He stands upon the broad plateau
of middle life in the fullness of matur-
ed faculties. He is good lawyer,
strong thinker, an able campaigner,
sound statesman, man OF the people
and for the people, with the courage
of his convictions.
2. He is man who loyes his party
with his whole heart, who loves it
most when in the right, but right or
wrong, weak or strong, In prosperity or
in adversely, he is loyal, true, stead
fast Democrat.
8. Since manhood he has been a
party worker, commencing in 1876,
and taking part in every campaign
from that day to this. He has always
placed himself in the hands OF the
State executive committee and the
campaign managers of his own county,
going cheerfully at his own expense,
wherever and whenever sent, and in
the dark days of his States oppression
was ever in the thickest OF the fray,
fighting to rid the people of negro
domination and Radical misrule.
Surely the people will not forget his
campaign with Marion Butler, his SER
vices as member of the Senate COM
mittee that helped frame the Constitu.
tional amendment, his more than one
hundred speeches for white supremacy
and good government in 1900, and bis
untiring efforts in every campaign for
his party's success.
4. Being now under fifty years Of age,
he has no war record, but at South
Mountain his father gave his life tor
the "Lost Cause" which cause has al
ways been dear to his son, as has been
every other interest of the State.
5. He has not yet been honored with
an Office directly from the people OF
the State, and would deeply appreciate
an honor which carries with it the
stamp of approval and confidence OF
his fellow citizens.
Democrats, this man has labored for
your success tor twenty eight years-on
the hastings, in the councils OF the
party, at the voting precinct on the
day of election, never studying his own
ease, but only asking where he was
needed, he has given himself to the
people. Now he asks to be Governor.
Will not those who have enjoyed the
fruits of the victories he has helped
win, and the people whose interests he
has defended and upheld, rally to his
support and nominate him?
Without seeking to detract one iota
from the claims of the good men and
true who are his competitors, we urge
upon you the name Of r. B. Glenn.

THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.
Indianapolis State Sentinel.

lnQ1dndpOllS state sentinel
Senator GalIinger, OF New Hamp-
shire, Republican, of course, has intro
duced bill by which it is proposed to
increase the salary of the President
from $50, 900 to SIS. 600, and the sala-
rles of others to the following amounts
vlce-Presldent, SIS, 900; members OF
the cabinet, $4,000; speaker of the
House, 1000; members of the Sem
ate and House, each $4,000. With the
exception of the proposed increase OF
the Presidents salary we believe this
bill is designed merely to waste the
governments revenues. Senator Gal
finger evidently assumes that Mr..
Roosevelt will be reelected. In that
event it could not reasonably be ex-
pected that he should work for $50 900
a year. True, a great many OF his
predecessors were paid only $25, 900 a
year, and Garfield, Cleveland, Harrison
and Mckinley drew only $5O,OO year
" for their services. But the cases
are different. Neither one OF them
was Roosevelt and it must be under
stood by the country, and will be un.
derstood without argument,tnat Roose-
velts come high. We believe, that
when the people come to consider the
matter they will Insist that Senator
Gallinger's figure is too low and that
nothing short of 100000 should be
thought Of When some common per-
sonage-belonging to the same class as
those who occupied the White House
before Mr.. Roosevelt moved in-shall
be elected to the presidency it will be
easy to reduce the salary to the pres
ent sum. Every one, we are sure, will
see that all this Is nothing but COM
mon Justice. Republics must not be
ungrateful. When they have good
thing they should recognize it, and
when such a man as Mr.. Roosevelt
looms up on the official horizon there
should be no stinginess in the matter
of compensation. Senator Gallinger
should revise his bill and substitute
$1O0,0O0 where the figures $75 900 now
are. The country, however, will not
stand for the other proposed increases.
They are wholly unnecessary and smack
o! extravaganza, pure and simple.

WRECK AT HENDERSON.


There was a serious railroad wreck at
Henderson few nights ago. A fast
train going South ran into an open
switch, plowed through another train,
knocked a sleeper of the track, lifted
two engineers who we're under their en-
glnes, without serious injury to them.
Engineer Tucker who was on the
moving train was greatly injured, and
perhaps both legs may have to be am
putated. The wrecked train caught
fire and was ruined. The loss to the
railroad company was estimated at
perhaps q hundred thousand dollars.
The switch was opened by some evil
designer, and the wrecker did
his work between two trains 80
minutes apart. It was said to be tho
worst wreck on that road In years.

KEEPING 4 GOOD NAME.

possession of life.
1t is not possible, perhaps, for every
one to have riches or fame, but it il
possi BILE for every one to have a good

These observations apply to commune

as obligatory on the people who make

this apples with special emphasis to
Scotland Neck. For many years the
town and community have borne the

ideals of life; and it is the part of every
individual in the town and community
to make effort to maintain this good

Whoever gives his influence to that

false to that which would preserve the

WANTS MEN ON THEIR MERIT.

Editor COMMONWEALTH
I notice in your columns commune
cation from "Bombshell'' occasionally.
Well, all of us old soldiers know what
bombshells are. They are liable to ex-
plode at any and all times. While the
writer's head seems to be pretty level
upon most subjects there may be some
danger OF what his or her signature in
dicates.
But what started out to say was,
that the time for National, State and
county elections is approaching, and
soon the people will be called upon to
meet in township primaries and coun-
ty and State conventions, to name the
candidates for the various Offices.
Now, in the beginning (and hope
in time) want to enter a protest
against a repetition of the political
outrage that was perpetrated upon
the voters of Halifax county two years
ago. For a certain number OF gentle
men, styling themselves Democratic
leaders, to get together and make what
politicians call slate, and then have
the townships and county to 60 through
the form of primaries and a conven-
ton to ratify their action, will be un-
democratic and not in accord with the
Jeffersonian doctrine of a government
of the people, for the people, and by
the people.
Let every man who aspires to office,
go before the people upon his merits.
If he ls chosen and elected by them,
then he will be their choice, and not
the selection of few individuals.
am Democrat, have voted the
straight Democratic ticket for thirty
eight years and hope that I will not be
forced to do otherwise, but such politi-
cal tactics as were reeorted to In Hall
fax county two years ago to keep the
favorltes of a few in Office are 1njurioua
to the party and should be condemned
by all right thinking people.

TO THE VOTERS OF HALIFAX
COUNTY.

By the solicitation of my friends I
have decided to announce myself a
candidate for the Legislature in the
coming election. feel it to be my
duty to let the voters of Halifax coun-
ty know how I stand on some OF the
.eading issues that will be discussed in
the coming campaign.
LIST. l stand for economical State
and county government. Second, /
am opposed to high taxation, I believe
In sufficient revenues to run our State
and county governments upon strictly
business principles. Third, I am OPP
posed to bond Issues unless absolutely
necessary. Fourth, am against the
unnecessary and high assessments up
on our real and personal property.
Fifth, Lecondemn the present road
law that was passed by the last Legis-
lature for Halifax county. I do not
believe that men should be made to
pay tax and then be required to work
the road six days in each year. The
present road law is a tremendous fall
ure aud should be repealed as soon as
the Legislature convenes. A liberal
system of pensions for INDECENT and
helpless Confederate soldiers, is mat
Ter which should command the most
ardent support of every patriotic Caro-
iinian. Aside from considerations of
humanity, a sense of profound graft
Jude should move the people OF this
State to provide Tor these old heroes, to
>;-iye from the door OF poverty and old
age, the ravenous wolf of want, whose
discordant growls make hideous the
twilight Of their honorable lives.
I believe in an amendment to our
State Constitution for the purpose of a
division of the school fund. The time
has come, in my opinion, when each
race should educate it's own children.
l do not believe that the white race
should be taxed to educate the negro.
The startling facts revealed by the CEN
s,,s show that those who can read and
write are more criminal than the lllit-
crates. This Is true OF no other ele-
oaent of our population. I am advised
that the minimum illiteracy among
The negro is found In New England,
=here it is twenty-one and seven-tenths
per cent. The maximum Is found in
he black belt-Louisiana, Mississippi
ard South Carolina-whero it Is sixty-
i've and even-tenths per cent and yet
the negro in New England ls four and
one-half times more criminal, hundred
for hundred, than he is in the black
belt. This has been demonstrated by
forty years of experience, and the ex-
.,snditure in the Southern States of
,sarly three hundred million OF dollars.
In my opinion, it would be much bet
Ter to apply the money that it takes to
.nn the negro schools in North Caro-
ina to the improvement of our roads
nd public highways. There are many
o.her live issues that might mention
III this paper, bnt deem it unnecessary.

difficulties and some enbarrassments.
This applies particularly to the grade
of embassies to a few of the foreign

In addition to the prospective change
in the London mission, other changes
it is understood, have been written on
a tentative foreign slate which is in
the course of preparation. From re-
liable sources it is learned that these
names will probably appear on it:
George Won Leer Meyer Of Massa-
chusetts, now ambassador to Italy, to
be ambassador to more important
post, probably France or Germany.
Henry White of Rhode Island, now
secretary of the embassy in London to
be ambassador, vice Meyer.
