REPUBLICANS AFTER THE GRAFT

The Civil Service order. or caution,
concerning the collection of assess
ments from government employees IS
meeting with a back set here in North
Carolina.
The Republican party from Chief
Leg Fuller Cortelyou down to the
least of the campaign parasites, is out
after the cash, and the easier route is
the best route. In the case in point
the ~raft is aimed at the Rural Free
Delivery carriers.
This is known to exist in Mecklen-
burg county, where contributions Of
IS apiece are being asked of the car
riers, for the purpose of aiding Col.
Jake Newell in his campaign against
Congressman e. Y. Webb. The truth
of this is vouched for by DR.. H. O.
Alexander of Providencd Mecklen-
burg county, who says that Mr..
spence went to one of the carriers o.
his section, and theoretically to 9TH
ers. and telling him of the race now on
in the district between Mr.. Webb and
Mr.. Newell, asked for a contribution
of $500 in Mr. Newell's behalf. To
this request the carrier replied that
he was a Democrat and that he i'm
tended voting for Mr.. Webb and there
fore did not care to contribute any
money to Mr.. Neweifs campaign funds.
And so here it is. If the r. F. DIS
OF Mecklenburg are being squeezed"
to aid Newell the word will evidently
go down the line--perhaps it has al
ready gone--and the carriers will be
expected to diminish their salaries in
order that the Republican candidates
may have the wherewithal so as to pay
the fiddler for their political dance.

Fate's. Queer Franks.

New DIRK Evening POST.
Fate plays queer pranKs at times,
but never was her mood more tinged
with mockery than when she assigned
Theodore Roosevelt and Charles w.
Fairbanks their respective parts in
this campaign. With what astonish-
ment do we behold him to whom the
strenuous life is as the very breath of
his nostrils, sitting. far from the CLASH
of arms and gazing, with timorouS
eyes, into the shadoWy VistaS of the
next two months,
Like puzzled urchin on an aged crone
Who keepeth closed a WondrOuS riddle
book.
AS specialized she sits in chimney
nook"
And that other, whose brooding
thoughts have SO often turned to dark
ling church yards, where, from

The moping owl does to the moon
complain
Does he, the Senator, go softly still?
Is it true of him as of those village
Hampdens whose ghostly dwellings,
cast such potent spells across his con-
molative mind, that
Along the cool, sequestered vale of
life.
He keeps the noiseless tenor of his
way?'
His is indeed another fate. No hero
of the seven-league boots. or of the
magic slippers, can boast Of mightier
performances. Monday morning he
had his picture taken IN Boston.
Monday afternoon he fired an "open-
ing gun" in central Vermont; Wed

Kansas City to open the Kansas cam
paign today, and on September 10 he
will turn up with a speech in Jersey

North Carolina Literature.

We delight to see our State coming
to the front in literature. Among the
recent books by talented North Car
olinans is one entitled Scenes in
North Carolina" by Prof. Alexander
Graham, of Charlotte. The book is
beautifully illustrated with pictures of
famous places in North Carolina. Ac-
companying the scenes are descriptive
and historical articles The whole is
printed and bound in Il very beauti-
full and attractive manner and makes
quite an interesting little volume.

The Republican bosses of that mall
odorous party in North Carolina have
heretofore put up and taken down
candidates at will. 1t seems now that
they also revise their party platform
to suit the occasion. The Democratic
State committee has caught on to the
game and exposes it, showing the
change made in the liquor legislation
plank by somebody after the conven-
ton was over.

Administrations Great Work.
Burlington Herald.
The keynote of Governor Charles
B. Aycock's administration may be
summed up in the one word 'E'duca-
ton" And as this successful admin
istration is drawing to a close. it is
interesting to note the great and sub
stantial progress our State has made
along this line. Aycock promised the
people of North Carolina THAI he
would give his support TO Tie educa.

this promise been kept? 1t has
We have got better schools than
we have ever had before. The State
has opened its great liberal heart and
has appropriated more money for
public education than it has ever
done before. In many of our coun-
ties the term of the public schools has
been equal to that of academies, and
in all of our counties the constitu-
tional limit of four months has been
reached
For many years North Carolina has
been known as an illiterate State.
But that has passed. Her sons need
never again be ashamed of the nick
name of Tar Heel" ror we believe
the time is near when that name,
throughout the American Union, shall
be a synonym for culture, refinement
and intelligence.

Held Warm Meeting.

An interesting meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was called for tonight when the matter of letting out the County printing was made Il subject of discussion. Some time ago. the Board, seeking to "get even" 1t is charged. with the local dailies, legis- lated that the printing of the County tax list be given to a weekly paper mailed from Century. Fla. but in real ity printed in Atlanta, Ga. when the law specifically states that the print ing be done in Florida. and in a news paper of general circulation. The Rec ord, the paper to which the contract was voted, Is a very clean and interest," ing little weekly paper, and Is ably ed tied. but on account of its being print ed outside of the State, it appears that the commissioners will have to take back their action and place the tax list properly. Another advantage of the list being printed in the city was the offer of two daily papers here to do the work and receive half the legal fees each. This arrangement was made for the double purpose of benc- fitting the readers and also benehtiug themselves.

pepsia than Peruna. Tho reason for this is that dyspepsia in . great majority of cases depends upon catafrh of the stomach. Catarrh of tho stomach may have been set up by an' extension of the catarrh from the throat or head. It may be induced by lsto suppers, indigestible diet, rapid eating, drinking leo water, the use of alcoholio stimulants and many other indiscretious.
 Peruna cures all such cases of dys- pepsia, simply because 1t cures catArxh wherever located. The reason % many cases of dyspepsia suffer on and on without any relief, trying this medicine and that medicine, is that these condi- tions are not recognized as catarrh of the stomach.
 Any one suffering from dyspepsia, having tried the ordinary remedies without relief, would be safe to assume that their case is one of catarrh of the stomach, and should at once begin q course of Peruna. Peruna is sure to cure these cases. It never fails.
