auspices the funeral was held today
The deceased left wife and three
children.

engaged in a conspiracy to rob and

Will Judge PEBBLES Enter Decree
Against Himself.
Taylorsville Scout

dy IUT5NIIIE
The Robson county lawyers and
Judge PEBBLES are having a lively time
over the contempt proceedings. The
LAWYERS want another judge TO hear
the case and Judge PEBBLES says they
NAV have a jury but he will be the
Judge. We once knew a magistrate to
set on a case between himself and one
of his tenants. After hearing the evil
dence he gave judgement against him
self and paid all cost; but this is the
first time we ever heard of a Superior
court judge wanting to set on his own
case. We wouldn't wonder if the Su-
preme court has to settle the whole
thing.

There is no purer man anywhere

more perhaps than any other one

some small fellow who makes an effort
to criticse the action of man who
is as far above him as a star in the

the ablest Republican in the State.
told the simple truth about the con-
vention and the present management
of the Republican party in North Car
DINA when he said
1.-THE time has come in the tide of
Republican politics in North Carolina
when one of two things must be done.
Either the Federal office-holders must
own, control and manage the affairs
of the party absolutely, as they seem
to be doing at this convention, or they
must abdicate and allow the party to
be managed and it's policies shaped
by those whose political ties and prin-
ciples are governed by other consider
ations than ffice-getting, greed, grab
and graft.
IF the Federal office-holders con-
tinue in control, then no self-respect-
ing man can or will be induced to take
part in Republican politics in this
State If they are forced to abdicate,
as should be done, then there is fu-
ture for the party. This may as we'll
be said here and now. The party
seems to be adrift without a leader or
any one who has the courage to speak
above a whisper. Everything is subor-
dinated to the chance of being a dele
gate or getting an office.
1.-The thoughtful, prudent people OF
North Carolina never will and never
ought to consent to the management
of the affairs of this great State to
such an irresponsible cabal as now
controls the affairs of the Republican
party of this State"

SIDE LIGHTS OF RADICAL STATE
CONVENTION.

At the Republican State convention,
Blackburn was easily the favorite ora
tor. He declared that the New York
Democracy was made up of 1.-The scum
of the earth-Chinamen and Irish
men" Later on in the convention,
when ex-Judge w. S. OBJ. Robinson
Tan Irishman) gave utterance to the
only true statement made during the
meeting, he was Kissed and derided.
The brainest man in the Republi-
can State convention, except eX-Judge
Bynum, was Romulus Zigzag Linney
His speech fairly expressed the high
est tone reached by any speaker
Here is a fair sample: 1--WE VIII say
to you Democrats, if you get up your
red-shirt gangs, confound your lousy
souls, we will organize red-shirts our
selves" and he added: me we
don't like to be rough, if you are go
ing to do rough, we will DO so also.
Linney probably had in view the gang
Of cut-throats and toughs described by
DR.. ]. ]. Mott in his account of the
Wilkesboro Convention as the men
who would do rough"
Ex-Judge Robinson evidently has a
very high opinion of Ex-Judge By
NUNS ability, for he is said to have
made this declaration: Il have been
compared to Judge Bynum, but the
comparison is like that of hell to a
little tar kiln" Was he compliment
ing Judge Bynum? Is it a compliment
| to compare mans brilliancy to that

Political Chat.

Referring to the Bayboro Sentinel's
suggestion of Col. w. d. Pollock, of
Kinston, as Lieutenant Governor, the
Goldsboro Argus says: col. Pollock
is a young man of unusual ability, of
splendid collegiate education, a Uni
versity graduate a lawyer by profess
sion, a gentleman by ancestry and ma
ture, he would make an ideal presid-
ing officer of the Senate and fill with
honor to himself and his State all 9TH
er duties of the lieutenant-g governor.
Herman Ridder says Judge Parker,
if nominated for the Presidency will
receive the entire German-American
vote.

Though they cussed him, because it
gave the lie to their whole platform
and every speech they made, every
Republican in Greensboro knew that
eX-Judge Robinson told the truth when
he said II know the Governor to be
a clean, true, honest man. don't want
to see the Governor, whom l know,
and whom l would not be afraid to
trust in any capacity, denounced as a
corrupt and bad man. If l was to die
tomorrow l would not hesitate to
make him my executor" And then
the gang Kissed again. 1t was "a dec
Grafton of honor" to have been Missed
by a conglomeration of slanderers,
pie-eaters, and vioIators of the law
falsely calling itself political conven-
ton.

1.-THE difference" said r. Zig-Zag
Linney between a Republican and a
Democrat is that when the Democrat
is in any trouble he takes spell of
GUESSING; the Republican on the other
hand takes a spell of praying" The
Greensboro Telegram, from which the
above is taken, is poor speller. What
Mr.. Linney said was "prEying," hav-
ing the Wilkesboro Convention in
view.

New Convert T. T. Hicks, of Vance
county, was much in evidence. He is
an earnest Republican now, ready to
meet any Democratic leader except
Hon. Cyrus B. Watson. Since Mr.. Wat
son walloped and skinned T. T. at
Henderson in 1902 the Vance new
convert hasn't hankered for another
joint debate with the Forsyth states
man. He told the convention that
"the Charlotte Observer, Morning Post
and the Wilmington Messenger all
wanted to get into the Republican par
ty." He declared that he did not join
the Republican party to get an office,
but to help put down fraud. would
vote for Roosevelt as an individual,
but never as an office-holder."

of the baleful fires of the internal re.

Linney couldn't resist giving Black
burn "side-swipe." He declared
that all Republican candidates should
meet their opponents on the stump in
joint debates. AS Blackburn beat a
retreat all during the 1902 campaign,
that declaration hit 'the drummer
boy" squarely between the eyes, for
he added: Il believe in putting out
some of our strong young men, and if
one shows the white feather and will
not accept challenge for joint de-
bate, / want our chairman TO hang
him and will come to the hanging"
