UNJUSTIFTABLE AND UNPRO-
VOKED.

In the Mayors court yesterday Capt.
Day waived an examination" and was
bound over to court upon the charge
of having assaulted Mr.. Britton, men,
Der of the editorial staff of the
News and Observer with a dead
~ weapon. The evidence printed
yesterday shows that the attack was
unprovoked and without warrant. The
files of this paper show that there was
no provocation for so unjustifiable an
attack upon Mr.. Britton. That gen.
tleman has never written line about
his assailant that gave him cause for
the insulting language he used or the
vicious attack.
No line has appeared in this paper
that could be construed into provoca-
ton for the conduct of Mr.. Britton S
assailant. 1t is wholly indefensible
and is universally condemned by right
thinking men.
The management of this paper ap-
proves every line that Mr.. Britton has
written with reference to the A. and
N. c. affairs and honors him for his
bearing in this whole matter. He has
as journalist and gentleman, borne
himself with honor.

CAN 81 CONTROL 1900?

There is not a two-year-old boy IN
North Carolina who believes that the
Cuyler suit has been brought because
of desire of a private stakeholder to
improve the value of his stock. The
costs in all this business would con-
sumo the $1,000 worth of stock. Four
years ago that stock was worth Is
cents on the dollar. Cuyler asked for
no receiver then. His stock has since
doubled in value, and yet he wishes
to throw the road into the hands of a
receiver. Why?
If there is extravaganza, wrong, or
other mismanagement in a corpora
ton, has the owner of 81 out of $500
shares the right to secure a receiver
without first protesting against the al
legged wrongs? If that can be done,
no majority in any corporation is safe.
Whatever extravaganza, mistake or
wrong management exists in the A. &.
n. G. Il. r., if any, can be corrected
by it's owners, and an owner of stock
who wishes to subject the property to
heavy reccivership costs is taking a
very revolutionary and strange course.
Can the owner of thirty-seven shares
control the owners of 1900 shares?

of trust campaign contributions:

Mr.. Havcmeyer-It is my impress

the contribution, because that is the
party which controls the local mat

\ "SURE ENOUGH" CHRISTIAN
MAN.

Those who attend conventions
synods, or conferences and give heed
to the reports are often troubled be-
cause, While the city churches report
everything paid in full" the reports
from country churches show a tagging

about the time that cotton dropped
down to five and six cents and the

Must everybody who suffers by the OPP
GRAFTON of these corporations seek his
remedy in the chartering State or have
no remedy? The more this New York
deliverance is considered the more in
definite and delusive it appears"
The Post prints the above and adds
this comment:
cit should be easily presumable that
the National convention will dump that
'inscrutable deliverance,' both as to
text and idea, into a desuetude both
innocuous and eternal. And if the
party means to wage an antitrust
campaign, it will have to tone up
good many degrees its declaration of

The Post has heretofore said of that
plank, it would be Endorsed without
dissent by national mass convention

1t is to be presumed that the author
of the New York resolutions was not
an enemy of Parker, but he has done
him more harm than all his enemies.
If the Democratic party supposed
Judge Parker wished to go before the
American people upon so ambiguous,
so timid, so absurd a platform as the
resolutions adopted by the New York
State Convention, he could not carry
two States. 1t is because Judge Par
ker is not held responsible for that
"inscrutable deliverance' that he is
the leading candidate. and because the
more the people know of his pubic
career and his private life, the more

writer has never written aught in mall

this paper to deal plainly about the
public acts of men. 1t has done so
only from a sense of public duty. 1t

apart for sacred duty. The Daugh-

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

The more one reads the resolutions
Convention, the greater is the wonder
that any body of sensible men could
have solemnly presented the platitudes
and inscrutable declarations contained
in them. They ring clear nowhere ex-
cept upon executive usurpation and
the evils of colonialism, and there they
ring clear as a bell.
The Boston Herald and the Wash
ington Post are trying to figure out
what one declaration means that has
escaped general attention. 1t reads
as follows:
Corporations chartered by the
State must be subject to just regula-
ton by the State in the interest of the
people"
The Post and the Herald both think
that the words mean that corporations
mean that corporations chartered by
any State should be subject to regu-
lations by that State" The Herald
thus comments upon the meaning:
What else can it mean? But if the
Democratic party thinks that it can
go before the people successfully with
such doctrine in it's mouth it VIII

THE SOURCE OF ALL THE RE-
CENT AGITATION.

The people of North Carolina begin
tation that has been started in North
Carolina. Sometime ago orders came
from "HIGHER UP" to muddy the
waters. There are certain railroad
and trust magnates who wish to
dominate the General Assembly of
1905 for selfish ends that will appear
later on. There's millions in it." The
only hope of dominating it was to Sc
cure a division among Democrats
upon other questions. Therefore there
a row about the Watts law, the States
educational policy, the A. q n. c. r.
r. affairs, and anything else about
which Democrats might have diff
ference of opinion. The "HIGHER
UP" sources knew that heated divi-
sionS among Democrats might make it
possible for them to nominate their
attorneys and agents in sure Demo-
cratic counties, and then, If they failed
to control Democratic conventions
in close counties, to get up an indie
pendent ticket OF course they own
the Republican party, body and SOUL
and will control every legislator elect
ed by that party.
In pursuance of that policy a sys-
tematic and determined fight has been
waged upon those who will not quiet
ly see it carried into effect, particular
ly those who have sounded the note
of alarm. But the people have been
quick to see the animus of the hos
tilty and they have not failed to OBJ
serve that the agents of the powers
'HIGIER UP" are already picking
out candidates for the Senate and
House in various counties and trying
to work up sentiment to nominate
them. incidentally they are ready
or some of them are--to grab the A.
& N. c. r. r. The viciousness of the
attacks upon its management are in
spired by motives, partly political and
partly from the desire to grab that
road. The whiskey politicians, and
distillers have been enlisted. The rail-
road crowd will repeal the Watts law
if the whiskey folks will help them,
and everywhere they are pulling to-
gether. .. ..TT l..
Let the people remember that the
real stake-the object of the "HiGlI-
Err UP" interests behind this whole
vicious onslaught upon Democratic
measures-is to control the next Gen
cral Assembly by certain railroad in
tercsts. They wish to control the
Democratic party if they can; if not
they are ready now, as in 1896 and in
1900, to join hands with the Repub-
licans. The men 'IIIGEIER UP" and
most of their agents bolted the Demo-
cratic ticket then. They have return
ed now to make it the instrument. of
their greed.
They will never succeed if the hon
