THE DAILY NEWS AND OBSERVER.

Mr.. Yerkes comes down to attend
their banquet and berate the Demo-
Gratis. Is not that to encourage in
ternal revenue officers to keep up the
bullying that disgraced the Wilkesboro
convention? Can such officials be ex-
pected to quit their brow-beating
when their chief comes down to dine
with them and to congratulate them
upon Blackburns election? If Mr..
Yerkes is not fully posted as to Black
| tighten him by the following state
ment made by DR.. J. ]. Mott, long
chairman Of the Republican State Ex-
ecutive Committee in North Carolina,
and Collector of Internal Revenue for
the Western District of North Caro-
lima. Here is an extract from DR..
Motifs statement made in the Spring
of 1904:
"He blackburn has adopted the
methods of a desperate at the head of
an organized clan of paid myrmidOns
officers of this government. Nearly
every Federal officer in the district
was at the convention ready to shoot
their way, as it was said, to nominate
Blackburn. They were ready to as
sassinate, so it was said. Intimidating
tactics were reSorted to and were kept
up in the dead hours of the night to
force the committee to make an I'M
prepared report. A raid was made on
the committee room during the night,
and it was rammed and damned until
not another man could enter, and the
outside passages choked with the
bowling mob. Inside the room it APP
peared as if the county asylum had
been emptied and the committee room
filled with insane people. The click
of pistols were heard. Federal officers
with commissions In their pockets
shook with rage as within the thrOeS
of commissions lowered on the COM
mittee, lisped like snakes and cursed
like devils. There has been no lawful
nomination of the candidate for Con-
gress in this district-that is certain.
1t has been prevented by the officers
OF the government breaking the writ
ten law of the party from working in
the primaries
Mr.. Yerkes was at the time made
acquainted with these grave charges
made by DR.. Mott, an able Republican.
What did he do with these charges!
Did he remove any of this ''organized
clan of paid myrmidons, paid officers
of the government" If, not, why
not?
The first step that Mr.. Yerkes can
take to make "a respectable Repub-
lican party in North Carolina" is to re-
move all the revenue officers who are
directly or indirectly swindling the
government, discharge at once every
officer who was in the gang described
by DR.. Mott at Wilkesboro and purify
the service by dropping all the other
unfit men who hold commissions under
him. Until he does that, let him
quit talking about honesty of any
sort to a North Carolina audience.

Such Bitterness AS Exists is Due To
What Happened After The War.

Such Bitterness As Exists is Due To
What Happened After The War.
Monroe Enquirer.
Before the bitterness engendered by
that terrible strife which ended nearly
forty years ago can be entirely blotted
out all who witnessed the atrocities
of an invading army in an unprotect-
ed country must go to their graves.
The bitterness is dying out but you
can never heal the wounds made by
the invasion of the defenseless South
by Sherman's army, save by the for
getfulness of the grave. Men will for
give and forget the hatred engender4
ed in the bloody fighting on the bait
tlefeld sooner than will the boys and
girls who in 1866 saw an invading
army despoil defenseless homes ter-
roriZe the women and children, apply
torch and burn the savings of genera
lions. take everything OF value from
the homes of the land, aye the little
trinkets and things dear to Women's
hearts, which had no monetary value,
and ruthlessly destroy them, forgive
and forget. Before the heart burning
and the bitterness is all over every
mother who in the wake of Sherman's
army heard her children cry for bread
when there was none to give Will be IN
her grave and the boys of that awful
time will cease to remember. This IS
not waving the bloody shirt. 1t is the
simple statement of a fact known to
every one who has a memory reach
ing as far back as March, 1855.

On Wrong Line.

1t was given out on the side that
the primary object of the Tar Heel
banquet the other night was to cater
to Weakened Democrats-to seduce
them from their allegiance. Perhaps,
but it did not work. 1t brings up
what the old ignorant blacksmith said
$50 many ways to be o fool, man
can not miss them all" 1t started off
all right and a number of Democrats
were present Mr.. Fairbanks speech
was on the right line and was we'll
calculated to make Democrats feel
very kindly toward him, but Mr..
Yerkes had not been posted; neither
had Mr.. Dixon, for both made speeches
that caused the blood to boil. and If
any Democrat ever had notion of
weakening, the speeches of these gem
tlemen knocked such an idea upwards
with a VIM The talks of these gentle
men were of the rabid, bitter sort
just such speeches as We're made in
reconstruction days.
SO, whatever the object from polit-
ical standpoint, it was failure and the
Democrats would not mind having
another like event pulled off.

Blackburn has organized at Green's
boro what they call the Tar Heel Re-
publican Club. He Is enrolling every
revenue officer and postmaster that
he can get in, and also the applicants
for places of the latter; the name is
legion. They are required to pay $40
for the privilege Of being a member OF
the club or course they are all on
the anxious bench now awaiting, beg
ging and paying for pie. The ten dol
lars, the railroad fare and hotel bills
viii soon be gone and ninety-five per
cent. Of them will fail to reach the
goal of office-then will follow head
ache, disappointment, weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth, and
that ten dollars too will be gone and
leave a bitter taste in the mouth

mond of the Eplusions"

So it seems there is to be "a pref
ty fight" between Blackburn and Roll
Inns for the distribution of Federal
patronage in North Carolina. accord
ing to the Greensboro Record. The
Tar Heel Club was organized to boost
Blackburn. Mr. Dixon, of Montana
evidently understood that the whole
banquet and club idea was to get ''un-
der holt for pie when he said:
"I want to offer little brotherly
advice to you fellows down home here.
The weakness of North Carolina Re~
publicans has been in the fight for
Federal offices. A man wtho is q Re-
publican for an office is a mighty poor
one and has neither courage nor
Valor."
In the old times the Radicals made
their plans in rural still houses and re-
freshed themselves by corn-lik-ker
that had not paid the tax. Do they
think the party can be made respect
able because the Watts law has driven
them away from the coves and they
plot with champagne instead of moon
shine as the beverage?

Nobody has asked the Lynchburg
veterans to approve the inscription on

their permission when this State furn-
ished more troops to the Confederacy

approval will not affect the stubborn
facts of history.
