When he made a statement con-
corning internecine criticism. Mr.. POu
was tasked by the Washington Post
in the following manner.
"Mr. Pou Democratic statesman of
North Carolina, gives it as his opinion
that Democrats take up entirely too
much time criticising one another. Why
shouldn't they? There are more sorts of
Democrats than you can shake stick
at. Go into any public place-club, hotel
hall, sleeping coach, barrOOm, Demo
Gratis used to 60 into barrOOms, though
they are trying to abolish that out in
Ohio)-and you will find as much confus-
ion OF Democratic principles in casual
political discussions as there was confus-
ion of tongues at Babel when they tried
to build the tower.
They are note agreed on the tariff
and if they had 100 majarity in the
House OF Representatives they could not
make tariff if 100 years lease of the
Presidency depended on it. Texas wants
protected wool and free woolens. Your
Massachusetts, Democrat wantsfree wool
and protected woolens. Virginia wants
protected coal, South Carolina protected
AIeC, oCOtS AICSOu"d
protected rion, Louisiana protected
sugar, Florida r. otected citrous fruits.
Vest would not allow Missouri to ask
for protected lead; but Vest is dead
Carlisle would not permit Kentucky to
put in a claim for protected hemp, but
Carlisle is out OF politics.
Democrats pretend to agree with the
Republican President on this railroad
rate business, but they enter upon that
exactly like Bob Acres went into the
duel. After awhile they are going to find
out that the thing is dangerous, and Joe
Jefferson could have got lesson in real
ism in art if he had lived to see the capers
and shines the 'unterrifed Democracy
are going to cut when the rate question
gets to be real paramount, as it is likely
to do.
''As for the currency question, the Dem
ocratic party hasn't the remotest idea
where it stands Bryan will do with it as
he shall please, and Bryan cannot learn
and will not forget.
why shouldn't Democrats criticise
one another? Is there anything else be-
tween earth and sky that extends such
cordial invitation to criticise as the once
mighty and invincible Democracy"

there has been an agitationfor years,
doubtless, put into being by the big

MILLS ROAD WRECK
Sunday School Picnic
Party Escape Unhurt.
Freight Cars Leave the Track but
Passenger Coaches Stay on the
Rails, and New Train Brings
in PicniCkers.

A picnic party of nearly 200 people
were in a wreck on the Raleigh and
Southport Railroad, or the Mills
road last night, but not one was in
jured.
The Fayetteville Street Baptist
Sunday School went on a picnic to
Fuquay Springs yesterday and was
returning, delighted with the day,
when two miles this side of McCul-
lers there was slight shake up In
the passenger coaches and the freight
cars ahead of the passenger coaches
left the track.
The train was composed of three
passenger coaches in the rear, three
freight cars and log truck car.
From some cause the freight cars In
front left the track, the engine and
passenger cars staying on. The track
was badly torn up, some of the rails
being lifted as high as the car doors,
the ties being lifted also.
1t was impossible to repair the
track above and bring the party to
Raleigh, so the engine came here, Sc
cured other coaches and went back
after the party. The wreck took
place about seven o'clock and the
train was delayed about three and a
half hours, reaching here at IL
O'clock
The excursion party was not greatly
alarmed, though when the accident
occurred the children did some
screaming. It was most fortunate
that the passenger coaches were not
derailed, and that the freight cars
were the only ones to leave the track.

SHAMEFUL ON BOTH.
Disgraceful Story Told of Drunken
Mother and Erring Daughter
Who are Figuring in a Sc
ductiOn Case.

There was on Wednesday an arrest
in Raleigh, this of Will Autry, young
white man of Southeast Raleigh, who
was charged by Mrs. John ThaXton
with the seduction of her fifteen-year-
old daughter, Ola Thaxton. The trial
before Justice Reid has been post
poned till Monday and Autry is under
a 500 bond.
The Thaxton people live on South
Fayetteville street and work at the
cotton mills. The girl is rather pretty
and her presence creates sympathy.
In this connection, however the fol-
lowing concerning the ThaXton moth
er and daughter printed in the Wilson
Daily News will throw some light on
the matter which is to be ventilated
on Monday:
Last Sunday a woman by the name
of Mrs. ThaXton and claiming Raleigh
as her home came to this city and APP
piled to Chief Marshbourne, imploring
him to restore to her her fifteen-year-
old daughter who she claimed was in
a house of ill-fame in this city. The
sympathetic chief, to save the moth
er's feelings, left her in the mayors
office and went in quest of and found
the erring daughter and turned her
over to her mother. They took the
train for GoldSboro.
Arriving at Pikeville the girl left
the train in company with a man and
the mother went on to Raleigh. The
girl returned to this city.
Monday the chief received a letter
from the mother to arrest the girl
and return her to Raleigh, that she,
the mother, would pay the expenses.
The chief wired back send expenses
and your daughter will be returned
to you.
Yesterday the mother put in her
appearance again and demanded her
laughter. The chief, still wishing to
save her humiliation, left her up town
and went after and got her daugh-
ter the second time and told them
both to leave on the next train, but
instead both returned to the house
from which the girl had been rescued.
Later in the night the chief was
sent for by the keeper of the house
to call and see how the mother was
acting. He went and peered in the
window and found her drunk and
dancing. He went in and took both
mother and daughter and locked them
up until the arrival of the trSin and
