MIR. NEWLAND THE WINNER.

After protracted session, following
A hot contest between several of the
strongest men in Western North Caro-
ina, Hon. Will c. Newland, of Cald-
well county, has been named as the
Democratic candidate for Congress in
anty-eight ballots to determine the
winner, but the fight was between
honorable Democrats, and every blow
vas above the belt
Mr.. Newland is a citizen of Cald-
we'll county, is widely and favorably
known, and his nomination will be
widely approved. He was educated at
West Point Military Academy, and af-
forwards read law. He has been prac-
Using law for about twenty-five years
and has enjoyed a large practice. He
vas solicitor four years and made a
reputation as a prosecuting official.
He has three times represented his
county in the Legislature and held
other positions of trust. In the last
Legislature Mr.. Newland was chair
e.
Among the most important services he
rendered was, in cooperation with
Hon. r. A. Doughton and other legis-
laiors from his section, securing an ap-
the Appalachian Normal School at
Boone, Watauga county. He favored
the passage of the Watts law and made
l strong and effective speech in favor
Of its passage while it was under con-
sideration in the House of Represen-
tatives.
Mr.. Newland is a campaigner of
large experience and ability. He
knows the people of his district and is
known by them. He will canvass every
section of his district thoroughly and
effectively, and will be elected. If the
Republican candidate. e. Spencer
blackburn, of Greensboro, will divide
time with Mr.. Newland, the Demo-
crats have cause to feel proud of their
champion. He will uphold the stand
ard of Democracy with dignity, ability
and courage, and will lead the party to
victory.
The Eighth district is regarded as
debatable ground. 1t is a close district
n ordinary times and the Republicans
believe they will carry it this year
The Democrats recognize that it will
be no child's play to carry the district
but they have no doubt that with
thorough organization and united
and working party Mr. Newland will
be elected by a good majority.

A TIMELY PROTEST.

The habit of giving a military title
was not a good one. The man who
won his title at the lannon's mouth
and in honorable service should al
ways be addressed bv it, but to Give
military titles to others tends to
cheaper what should be held dear
and sacred For years-perhaps since
the office was first created-the habit
has grown up of addressing the At
torney General of the State as Gen
eral.' In the August number of the
North Carolina Journal of Law, this
timely protest is made
MAY we enter a mild protest
against the growing habit of clubbing
present and past attorney generals in
our State with the military title of
general. There is something about
it POSITIVELY grating upon the ear of
a man bred to the law. The two pro-
LESSONS of law and of arms are so
distinct and separate that it has be-
come a maxim: Inter Arma silent
Leges' and it does seem that the con-
verse of the proposition ought to be
true
The absurdity of giving a military
title to the States chief law office is
in the case of the present
Attorney General. He was born dur
ing the War Between the States has
never had any military training, and
has confined his studies and ambitions
wholly within the lines of the legal
He has shown legal
ability of a high order in the admins
tration of his great office. If we must
have a title for the Attorney General,
let us manufacture one that tells of
his legal attainments, but let us stop

POU PLEASES DUNN.
Man Sent to Jail for Participating in
An ARRAY.
(Specjal to News and Observer

(Snecial to News and Observer
Dunn. n. c.. Aug. 5.-Congressman
f. w. Pou, spoke here tonight in the
opera house to a large and enthusiast
tic audience. Mr.. POu was at his
best and his speech, which lasted Tor
over an hour was greatly enjoyed.
His earnest and severe arraignment
of the Republican administration was
warmly applauded. He turned his gat
ling gun upon Theodore Roosevelt, as
he called him, and his negro policy,
his mania for war and imperialism,
and his, treatment of these subjects
was unrelenting and whitening. He
fully discussed the postoffice frauds
and the prompt suppression of all in
vestigation by the Republican ma
jority, which action was prompted by
the President himself. He described
the stupendouS corruption by the use
of money and fraud practiced by the
Republicans in their elections. He
said that the people throughout the
country were becoming sickened with
Rooseveltism and particularly with
the suffrage plank in their platform,
and were turning away with uncon-
trollable ioathing TO the united De-
mOCracY.
He touched upon local issues, espe-
cially the Watts law, and the whiskey
still, on every plantation, with its reign
OF terror.
Mr.. Pou opened the campaign and
other good speakers are to follow
but it is doubtful whether the people
here will hear better speech than
the one last night.
Dock Head. who was on 1'ial today
for participating in an ARRAY, was sent
to jail by Mayor Eldrfdge Lee for con-
tempt of court.

PAMLICO GETTING RICH.

We published few days ago a
statement that Pamlico farmer, who
rents land, made $500 net this year
on fifteen acres in truck. He has his
corn and cotton crop still to harvest.
Writing of Pamlico in the New Bern
Journal, Mr.. II. W. Dowdy says:
1T is said that Pamlico has the
richest soil of any county in North
Carolina. She. has several growing
little towns. She has fifteen or eigh-
teen saw mills. She has a gllano fac
tory. She has a telephone at almost
every mans door. She has first class
transportation by both sail and steam
boats; and prospects of a railroad at
some time but the prospects look dim
now
The railroad will be built. All that
Pamlico needs is quick and certain
transportation facilities for it to be
converted into a truck garden that
will bring wealth to the industrious
tillers of the soil. The progress Of the
last half dozen years has been mark
ed, and it is but an earnest of the
future prosperity of that rich little
country.

Three Things Prove Rapacity.

Chicago Union Leader. tl
At one and the same time three
things have occurred that show the
extreme rapacity of the Beef Trust:
1. The price of beef cattle has
reached the lowest fi~ure since rail-
roads were built West
=. The price of dressed beef is now
higher than it has been at any previous
time since the Civil War.
g. The $1,000 butchers and assistants
employed by the Beef Trust were on a
strike to prevent a proposed reduc-
ton in their wages.
All this is doubtless due to Mr..
Koosevelts instruction that the Attor-
ney-GeneraPs department be mot run
amuck' fighting the trusts just now.
And the poor Beef Trust must reim-
burSe itself for the large slush fund
contribution that statement called for.

Writing on the vitality of Henry
G.. Davis the American Review of
Reviews gives some facts which ought
to be made known to Mr. Root We
quote:
''The physical endurance of Mr.
Davis is surprising, and almost irri-
Eating, to younger men who do not
possess his untiring vitality. He
seems never to become tired. He is
always fresh and vigorous. His ca
pacity for hard work is unlimited
Neither loss of sleep nor hardship inn
pairs his energy. A striking illus
tration of this characteristic was
given at the st. Louis convention. Mr..
Davis sat in not over-large room
as a member of the committee on
resolutions, from s o'clock on Thurs
day evening to 11:30 o'clock Friday
morning-15 " hours-and emerged
with his usual composedness of man
ner and brightness of eye. Men of but
little more than half his age were
haggard and weary. Mr.. Bryan ap-
peared to be on the verge of eXhaus-
ton. Senator Tillman was near the
point of collapsing. Others were all
more or less affected by the all-night
committee meeting, but Mr. Davis APP
peared to have been freshened and
invigorated by the long and arduous
session. Mr.. Davis considers horse
back riding the best possible form of
exercise. He may be seen on every
pleasant day cantering along sthe
mountain roads, sitting erect and
managing his animal with ease and
skill. 1t is less than a year since he
rode on horseback from Elllins to
Charleston, a distance of more than
200 miles, in five days. The road
passes through an unbroken and
mountainous country. and his friends
and neighbors still marvel at this ex-
hibition of unimpaired vigor. Long
hours of almost incessant activity con-
Stitute the daily routine of Mr.. Davis
ut his summer home. He allots the
same period to labor now as when
serving as a brakeman"

During the meeting of the Press
Association at Morehead City last
week President Bryan of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad appear
ed before the body and extended a
cordial and pressing invitation to the
editors to go with him over the road
on a tour OF inspection, offering to
furnish a special train for that pur-
pose. He said he wished them to IN.
spect the pier, rolling stock, road-bed
shops, in fact to make Il thorough in
spection of the road The invitation
was accepted, but this writer could
not be with the party on account OF
the necessity OF leaving on an earlier
train.
The editors did not need to so over
the road on an inspection tour to
satitfy them that the road is in fairly
good condition. 1t was the consensus
of opinion expressed by most every
one in going down to Morehead that
the road-bed is in good condition,
much better than it was expected to
find it, in view of what has been said
by the enemies Of the State who have
been trying to get control of the road
by questionable methods for selfish
purposes. 1t is in as good condition
as the r. and T. Road, a branch of
the Seaboard. if not better. General
surprise was expressed at the good
condition of the road.
In this connection for information
we would like to ask how many OF
the successful roads of the country
have not at some time been in the
hands of a receiver, the road sold,
bought in by the financiers and the
