the interest of the community at heart mot using the position as a stepping stone. as we find one of the schemers intends to do.
 After the regular caucus was over, two young men, both non-members of the association, sought to strengthen their pull with the "Old folks" by starting an insurgent campaign, head ing the ticket for governor with "Um's Best Girls Dad" It was a critical time for them. If they helped their elders to win, there might be a chance fer one of them to be Victor" in the race he was running. They worked day and night, and it is said that one of them did not eat for a week, he was so busy. But he is big, and can stand it.
 By hook and crook they turned things their way. They used one man to stab" another on the ticket, think ing perhaps to cause hard feelings be- tween the men. But those men have one thing that the schemers never had love for their fellow man, and the scheme failed to accomplish that end.
 Now the KICKER thinks that a man that is so bright as one of the schemers showed himself to be CD, must have been eating Sapolio. That is noted for it's brightening qualities, and a full sized cake probably helped him out.
 May we humbly give you some ad- vice Mir. Schemer, "try for the job of Chairman of the National Republican Committee. You would sure win out. Why man, you are one in a thousand. Your intelligence would be recognized anywhere. You are wasting your tall ents in a Desert Land. But then you know a good man can't be kept down no matter where he Is and accordingly you pop up every once in a while. Don't be so small as to interfere in little local election. Turn your mas sive brain to bigger things. Go east and run for president. You would cer- tainly have plenty of exercise before you finally reached the desired goal
 But to wind up with, we think it is a miserable shame if the ranchers in this locality can't have the men they want to represent them. But we will wait Perhaps next time the schemers will be so far up in political circles by the aid of these Stepping Stones" that they will not be able to see such a small thing as a local election, and the positions will be filled by the men who are best fitted to hold them.

Prominent among the big loughing hits of the season is the London farci- cal comedy "A Wise Woman" in which Louise Carter, Loretta Babcock. and John Ferguson are the stars-and bright ones. It was written by Wilfred Clark, brother of Creston Clark, and a cousin of John Drew. As MT. Clark comes from an acting family, one nat urally expects something bright in the way of play, and he has not dissap- pointed.

TRIAL OF W. E. hURPHEY
Hardly More Than a Beginning Has
 Been Made.

The trial of former Chief Clerk w. E. Murphey of the office of the surveyor general charged with accept ing d bribe for the greater expedition of work in his office was begun in the United States court yesterday. Not a great deal of progress was made with the case and it is not likely that it will be completed today.
 The principal witness was Mrs. Emma A. Miller of Tucson, wEO, it is alleged, in the indictment, arranged with the defendant for the payment of $460 in consideration of the advancing work on certain mineral claims in which she was interested. Mrs. Miller testified that she sent to the defendant d certificate of deposit for S46O in the Consolidated National Bank of Tucson. She testified also to the negotiations leading up to the arrangement for the payment of the money.
 MT. M. P. Freeman of the Consoli- dated National Bank identified the certificate of deposit. Other witnesses for the government were George Christy, Jr., and Frank Lysight of the office of the surveyor general who testi- fled regarding the work upon the claims of Mrs. Miller. The government will have altogether about twenty-five wit nesses.

"A Wise Woman" is farce with a thread of plot that does not interfere with the action of the play or the whirlwind of fun that is always rag ing. It is full of music and many songs.

The Democratic Convention at
Greensboro endorsed the Watts
Law. The Watts Law prohibits
the manufacture or sale of liquor in
the rural districts, yet the same
legislature that passed this law also
passed an act incorporating part of
Glenn Williams farm and his
whiskey distillery in.the country. so
he could operate his '.Hell Kettle"
and continue to make democratic
whiskey at the same old stand. It
will be remembered that Glenn
Williams was a member of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, so of course no law, even
though it be a prohibition law,
must interfere with his business.
It's case of equal rights to none
but special privileges to some. We
almost forgot to add that the Cou-
vention at Greensboro did not de-
nounce the last legislature for in
cooperating this distillery at Will
iams, at the same time they en-
dorsed the Watts Law.

TIRED AND DIsGUsTED WITH DE
MOCRACY.

The Machine Democrats of Dur
ham County held primary Satur-
day to decide on their candidates,
however some of the candidates
were not decided upon as there were
too many pie hunters for some of
the Offices for any one to receive the
required majority. The candidates
that were decided upon will find
that their paths are not strewn with
roses, as there is much dissatisfac-
ton among the Democrats in that
county. in other words some Of
them have just opened their eyes.
The independent democrats will
run Ex-Mayor M. E. McCown for
Sheriff and Mr.. r. P. Hackney, a
well known druggist of Durham, for
Register of Deeds. Persons for
other Offices will be decided upon
later. Ex-Mayor McCown says he
has been lifelong Democrat, but
that he is tired and disguised with
the Democracy of the county and
State.

THIS TAKES THE CAKE.

The most comical thing that we
have ever seen, is the attitude of
the Charlotte Observer and certain
other Democratic papers since the
nomination of Judge Parker. They
are making appeals to certain class
of independent Democratic and Re-
publican voters to vote for Parker
on the ground, that no matter if
Parker Is elected President, and if a
House should be elected
with him, that yet the Senate
would still be safely Republican and
therefore NO HARM could be done.
AS political argument, this
takes the cake.

ROOSEVELT. PARKER AND THE
TRrTs.

The trusts are fighting President
Roosevelt. They are against him be
cause he has the courage and the
honesty to stand by his oath Of Office
as President. He Is simply enforc-
ing THE LAW against trusts and
combinations that rob the people.
This law was passed by RepubIi-
can congress, but q Democratic
President (Cleveland) failed to en-
force the law, as he was sworn to
do.
President Roosevelt is simply en-
forcing the law which Cleveland re-
fused to enforce.
Judge Parker evidently made a
deal with the trusts in which he
agreed not to enforce the law If he
was elected. This is no doubt the
reason why the trusts are support
ing Parker and fighting Roosevelt.
Which one doe the free merican
citizen who does not own a trust
want for President Of the United
States?
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1904-08-04

Each day it grows palmer and
palmer that Judge Parker's s'coura-
geous" telegram was the climax of
a shrewd political scheme which
was long ago Matched by Hill, Bel
mont and Wall Street. They knew
that they could not nominate Par
ker if he should come out openly
and declare he was a gold bug and q
trust candidate. And they knew
they could not get big campaign
funds unless they would mortgage
their candidates, so they sold their
party to the trusts and then played
a trick on the convention which
made it powerless to break up the
deal.

124 white men in that county are

Now will the voters of the state
