SIMPLY SOUGHT FIRST HAND
VIEWS.

In an article to the New Bern
Journal a writer, signing himself "B,
asks the following:
"Will the Raleigh News and
Observer please state for the IN
formation of its readers how
many of the business men inter-
viewed by it's special committees
along the line of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad are
stockholders in the same ??
Certainly we would answer the
question if we could and if it needed
an answer after the statement made
at the time the interviews were print
ed. The two gentlemen who obtained
the interview for the News and OBJ
server printed on Sunday morning
simply interviewed every man whom
they met in the towns visited. They
were seeking expressions from the
people at first hands. and obtained it.
That was the purpose of their trip.
1t might be a matter of interest to
know who are and who are not stock
holders in the road among the men
interviewed, and in this view of the
case it might be that "B' could give
the information. as the stockholders
books are accessible at New Bern. If
"B' cares to go over the books and
teryiewed with the road it. would
make a readable article. but would
hardly prove anything.

Political Chat.

Says Hon., John T. McGraw con-
corning the Democratic outlook in
West Virginia:
1--WE shall carry West Virginia. This
time we not only will get the votes in
the ballot boxes, but we also shall see
that the Republicans will not steal
them from us after they have been
cast. Our people look up to eX-Sena-
tor Davis as our first citizen in the
State, and this is a reason for expect
ing victory, for the West Virginians,
almost without regard to party, want
to honor our Vice-Presidential candi-
date.
practically all of the old Democrats
have returned to the party, between
5000 and 1000 being back in line.
These men also look upon Davis as
their friend. He is one of the few
men in the country who has made a
large fortune without taking it from
others. To him more than to any
other man or group of men is due the
credit for development of West Nir-
ginia'S resources. When any one as
serts that Mr.. Davis is deficient, even
at his age, in mental and physical
strength, he should look at the enorm~
Gus amount of daily work he accom-
plishes.'
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1904-08-31

Sulzer made the following statement,
and made it after careful study of
the conditions:
''The more the people know of Judge
Parker the more they like him. Now,
make this prediction: The Democrats
will absolutely carry New York, Con:
necticut, Rhode Island. New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, West VVania
and all the so-called Southern states.
With the electoral votes from these
States for Judge Parker he only needa
eight more votes to be elected Presl-
dent. In my opinion Judge Parker
will surely carry Indiana and WIS.,
consin; but even if he loses these two
States he is absolutely sure of carry
ing Colorado, Nevada and Montana,
and that will give him three more
votes than he needs, or three majorl-
tv in the Electoral College. Look at
it as you will, study it over and over
again, and to the man up tree IL
looks like cinch for Judge Parker.
Judge Parker is the peoples can
didate, and is as popular in the West
as he is here in the East. He is for
the masses and the people will win.
This is their fight, and in a contest for
their constitutional rights they have
never lost"

GOOD NEWS TO TOBACCO PLANT.
@ ERS.

1t is in the fullest sense good news
to the tobacco planters of North Caro-
lima that it is reported.s and on reliable
authority, that the American Tobacco
Company, the giant Tobacco Trust, is
to have an active competitor for the
bright tobacco of North Carolina.
The report to which credence is
given is that the Japanese Govern
ment proposes TO handle the tobacco
business of that Empire itself. and
through it's own buyerf that it will do
away with the American Tobacco
Company as the mi Ieman in it's
purchases, and will direct with
the people who make De tobacco.
To do this it is saidAa the move
ment will provide its dyn corps of to-
bacco buyers, placing II these in the
bright tobacco belt Mction, which
means that large nart Of the field
in North Carolina Will be covered in
this way. The Japanese Government
is said to need at present some TWEEN
ty millions pounds of bright tobacco
for cigarettes, and as the trade in
North Carolina brights is increasing
in Japan it is to be reckoned that soon
there will be demand for from fifty
to seventy million pounds of the North
Carolina product.
The great value in this is of course
that as competition for the weed arises
there will be better prices. The Amer
&c n
be reaching for larger Canadian
trade and the report from Portugal
is that it is trying for a monopoly in
the markets of that country. AS it's
trade grows it must of necessity Sc
cure tobacco, and meeting with a
competitor of nerve it must perforce
go up in it's figures to the joy of the
tobacco planter. That japan is able,
single handed, to deal with the To-
bacco Trust is amply shown in its
dealings with the Russians. The lit
tie brown folks of the Orient are
stickers when they go after anything,
The people have noticed and wond-
cred a little at the recent increase in
the price paid for the raw tobacco
but this move of the Japanese. frs;
told to the public in this paper, and
the great cut made in the tobacco
crop by the farmrs are sufficient rea-
son. To do business the American
Tobacco Company must get the to-
bacco. With a greatly decreased
crop and an active bidder against il
there is one thing it must do. and
that is to pay the tobacco farmers a
decent price for tobacco.

THE BILLINSGATE MYSTERIES OF
NEWELL.

The billinsgate employed by young
Jake Newell, the Republican nominee
for Congress in the Ninth District. is
not to be wondered at when it is re-
membered how the National leaders
of the Republican party deal in such
like stuff.
Newell, with whom Hon. e. Yates
Webb, of Shelby, had agreed to de-
bate in a recent speech at Newton
referred to Capt. r. Il. Glenn and
other State leaders Of the Democracy
as cattle" and in the same speech
made mention of Messrs. Hill and
Sheehan in language which meant
that they were common thugs and
gamblers. Because of this indecent
and improper language, Mr.. Webb
very properly refused to enter into
a debate with him.
That Mr.. Newell has no idea of the
course which should be pursued is
even more clearly indicated by his
latest utterance in which he says of
Mr.. Webb and the Democratic party
that in certain contingencies he will
"skin you and your entire gang"
Pretty language this for a Congress
sional candidate!
But in this Col. Jake has a pre-
cedent to follow. 1t will be remem-
bered that it was President Roosevelt
who referred to the Congess of the
United States as Cattle" and it will
be remembered that as late as last
Saturday Mr.. Roosevelt's Secretary of
Agriculture, James Wilson, drooled
slime in his reference to Southern
Democrats. and to the Democracy of
the Nation as being a back alley
product. Colonel Jake is following
his leaders well. They forget the pro-
prieties, he does the same.
And on top of this the Republican
candidate in the Ninth asserts that
Il am gentleman" That is the as
sertion that gentlemen do not make.
They live ii and let other people say
SO. But hear Col. Bombastes Furioso
Newell as he roars this choice selec-
ton at Mr. Webb.
Il was born a gentleman: I lived
gentleman long before your fame
spread beyond the confines of Shelby,
and / distinctly resent any slurs or in
situations by you to the contrary"
This comic-heroic spasm. it is to be
noted, comes because Mr.. Webb in
sists that Col. Jake in his debate in
dulge in decent debate, confined to
political issues. without personal
abuse" r';'.sagHnN
Of course the people of the Ninth
District are going to return Mr. Webb
to Congress- That is a foregone con-
clusion, and in that view of the case
the Mysteries of Col. Jake are OF little
moment, but his language is in such
exceedingly bad taste that it forces
itself to ones attention just as do the
hideous red and yellow monstrosities
of circus bill board advertising, to
which class the declarations OF Col.
Jake properly belong. But the bill
board is cleaned by the wind and the
rain, and we trust that CO... Jake will
be also in better shape after the
Christening in store for him in No
vember next.
