Not in Favor With the Machine.
(Hillsboro Observer

The Orange County Republican Execu-
tive Committee was in session at Hills
boro Monday While we were not IN
formed of the object of the meeting, 1t
was rumored that the business before the
committee was to name a successor -
Postmaster Lloyd at Chapel Hill. so
far as we are able to learn Mr.. Lloyd
makes an excellent postmaster, gives gen
eral satisfaction and has the endorsement
of nearly all of the patrons of the office,
Democrats and Republicans, but some
how or other he is not IN favor with the
machine the committee.

Senator Bacon is eternally right in his
resolution introduced in the Senate, "di-
recting that the Department of Commerce
and Labor ascertain and report to the
Congress what classes of American trust
made goods, if any, are sold in the mark
cts abroad at prices below those charged
to the home consumer" But the Repub-
licans will sec to it that this information
is not officially furnished. However, it viii
be obtained unofficially and will be a nal
in Roosevelt's political coffin next No

Salisbury SUM-

Capt. Charles Price received tele
gram this afternoon that the Circuit
Court of Appeals in Richmond had de
cided in two cases in which he appeared
and in both cases the decisions were in
his favor.
One was the suit of the Travellers In
surance ompany, of Hartford, Connectl
cut, against Henderson county, in which
$780, 600 is involved; the other is the
Wells Cotton Company against Avon
Mills, of Gastonia. The amount III TINS
case is $50 goo. In one instance the rul-
ing Of Judge Boyd was affirmed and in
the other reversed. In both instances
however, Capt. Prices contention was
sustained.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S CLAIM.

1t seems premature, to say the least,
for anybody to suggest that the State
should compromise with South Dakota
and the other bondholders.' 1t has been
pointed out that South Dakota can get
nothing under its Judgment but sell the
equity in the one hundred shares of stock
in the North Carolina railroad and the
purchaser of that cannot realize anything
fall due in 1919. Under these circum-
stances, the State has no inducement to
COMPROMISE AS to the Individual hold
ers of the bonds the State is in the same
POSITION as to them it has been since the
passage of the act of 1879 ito compute
and refund the State debt" If they are
same terms as all other holders OF these
bonds have done. the State Treasurer is
ready to issue new bonds. II they have
any other proposition to make. or if
South Dakota has any proposition to
make, we have no doubt that the Cover
nor would receive it, give il considera-
ton, and forward it to the General As
sembly. But the State of North Carolina,
conscious of having done what is right,
has no need of making any suggestion of
compromise, or any other suggestion of
any sort. 1t respects the decree of the
Court and will do what is right in every
respect with reference to this and every
other matter. Upon that, everybody who
knows the character of the men in charge
of the affairs of North Carolina needs no
assurance.

WHY NOT INDICT RUSSELL AND
BUTLER?

The stencil of RusselFs and Butler's
conduct in the South Dakota matter
stinks to high heaven. They ought to
be prosecuted and all the rottenness un-
covered until even the Supreme Court at
Washington would have to hold its nose.
There is no doubt that Russell and But
Ter, in the forum of conscience, have been
guilty of baseness never before equalled
by public men in North Carolina. is
there no statute under which they can
be indicted for conspiracy? 1t is a mat
ter which the Attorney General should
look into thoroughly, and if there is any
statute under which they can be prose
cuted, every agency of the State ought
to be employed to mete out the punish
ment they so richly deserve.
In his charge to the grand jury at Le-
noir, Caldwell county, Judge Benjamin F.
Long stated that it had been gravely
charged against a United States Senator
and the late Governor of the State, that
terms, they had made themselves parties
to plot to wrest large sums of money
from the State by devious shift, and
that it ought to be investigated, and if
they were guilty they ought to be pun

minds the idea of prosecuting these two
former officials who betrayed the people
for whom they were trustees. We take
the liberty in this connection of making
the following extract from private let
ter received yesterday from one of the
first lawyers in North Carolina:
Every thoughtful and patriotic citizen
OF the State has watched with keenest IN
terest the progress of this South Dakota
suit. 1t Is generally believed that it was
Matched by Marion Butler; that he was
the Senator from North Carolina who was
approached by persons who sought con-
fidence game, and that they found a will
ing conspirator. and that he took in the
Governor, and that these two-the one

the lowly, and the Governor promoted by
the unholy alliance, seeing their political
fortunes waning, entered into and became

the supple instruments to betray their
high trusts, feather their nests and fleece
the State. Why may not their conduct
be probed to the bottom, and if the facts
can be developed, why should they not be
indicted and punished? What now seems
TO be problem big with difficulty and
danger reaches crisis-it must be solved
| wisely, prudently, safely. All the power
OF the State government ought to be
brought to bear to drive Butler and Rus
sell-and to force disclosures and get the
truth to establish at least the one vital
fact--the fraud in the assignment of the
bonds to South Dakota, and the scheming
and plotting of the two highest offlcils OF
the State to plumber the State. and If
