WHY ROOSEVELT FLUNKEYS TO
THE NEGRO.

There is method in Roosevelt
disgusting flunkeying to the negroes.
True it is that he has discarded a
white mans self respect in doing this,
but then he is seeking Office and
this being inbred in his bone and
sinew he is willing to pay any price
for it. 44S*s3M s&<&
Roosevelt knows that the Southern
negro vote is of no value to him, so
he lets that go, but he is seeking the
negro vote in the doubtful States of
the North, East and Middle West,
where it is of such proportions as to
largely constitute the balance of pow
er. He has coolly calculated that to
win he must get the negro vote in
those States.
The battle-ground in seven States
offers an inviting field to those who
are making calculations on the presi-
Dental election, and a study of the
figures concerning the negroes and
the majority of the Republicans will
show that at all hazards Roosevelt
must keep the negro in line if he
holds on to the presidency.
Here is the table, and as it is read
it will be plainly seen why Roosevelt
is willing to forget his pride of an
cestry and in place of charging as a
white man up the San Juan Hill of
politics to lie down and let the ne
groeS charge over his responsibility
and then crawl servilely UP to eat the
fruits of it

A SUIT FOR SANDER.
Ex- Mayor u. V. Taylor Brings il
Against V. c. McAdoo.
Especial to News and Observer.

Greensboro, N. c., July 2S.-There
was a distinct sensation here today
when it became known that eX-Mayor
H. V. Taylor, q member of the law
firm of Scales, Taylor 81 Scales had
brought suit for SANDER against Mr..
V. c. McAdoo, an attorney here, and q
large real estate owner and dealer,
and step-son to Mr. r. r. King, one of
the most prominent lawyers in the
State. Mr.. McAdoo was largely inter
ested, financially, in the Greensboro
Telephone Exchange, which was ac-
CURED recently by the Southern Bell
Telephone Company. The summons
in the suit brought by Taylor only has
been served, but it is understood that
the graveamen of the action is the al
legged statement of McAdoo that the
plaintiff while mayor acted corruptly
in aiding the American Telephone
Company in securing a charter for a
system in Greensboro, whereby the
Bell Company at a recent date was
able to "sandbag'' the Greensboro Tel
ephone Company into selling out at a
ruinous sacrifice. Mr.. Taylor has en-
ployed Messrs. Brooks e. Thompson
and Judge w. p. Bynum to prosecute
the suit against McAdoo.

THE FARMERS YEAR.

The Rocky Mount Record casting
its vision about says that this is "the
farmers year." and tells why this is
it's belief.
And it does appear that this will
be "the farmers year" for the out
look is at present for good crops and
good prices. In two of the principal
crops of North Carolina there is, how
ever. always something to fear and to
watch for. Let these two come and
then down go the prices of the farm
ers products.
There is the bear movement in. the
market. 1t is certain that last season
the natural demand for cotton was
increased by the work of the men
who stood with Sully and that by
the action of these men on the bull
side of the market the price was sent
up above sixteen cents. Unless there
is another combination of bulls
this season it does not appear that
the price will be as high as the top
notch of last season, but yet q price
with a good margin of profit in it
seems assured to the farmer.
The tobacco market is the creature
Of it's environment, and the environ
ment is the tobacco trust. 1t raises
or lowers prices as 1t sees fit 1t
squeezes or encourages farmers as
it sees fit and last season it took the
squeezing method of evening UP be-
cause in it's contest with the Imperial
Company the preceding season it had
pay good prices for tobacco. This
seasons policy is yet to see the light,
but as there is certainly going to be
4 short crop the prospects are that
the prices will be an advance on those
of last year.
The garden crops of North Carolina,
the potatoes, the strawberries, the
lettuce, the asparagus, the melons, all
have done we'll this season and much
cash has come into the State as the
result. On the whole the North Car
DINA farmer has much at which to
be gratified this year and the outlook
is encouraging.
But apart from this is no reason
why every year should not be 1.-The
farmers year." if the farmer will heed
the lessons of the past and SO diver
sify his crop that no combination can
sweep him off his feet. The soil

All that is needed is hard headed

That is at the bottom of all success.
Work and sense put together are in

But to what the Rocky Mount
Record SO ably says in the matter.
Here it is, and it is the git of the
matter:
This is distinctly the farmers
year. All crops in this section are
reported to be in Sne condition,
better at this time than in a long
number of years and with favorable
weather from now to harvesting time
there will be more produced to the
acre than any year in the last ten
years. And when we consider that
the price for everything the farm
raises is higher as a whole than for
years past the farmer indeed, and all
other interests with him. have cause
indeed to be thankful. While cotton

county, but the Democrats won. even

For three times Taggart has been
