WHAT HAS BECOME OF THEM !?

A few weeks ago men with gu
bernatorial bees buzzing in their
bonnets were continually turning
up into the limelight with express
sions of views upon public cues
tions, but since it has become
evident that the people are get
ting a foolish notion into their
heads that they propose to take
a hand in the settlement of pub
lie questions, as is evidenced by
the Overwhelming majorities Civ
en- against the Dispensary: these
aspirarts have gone into seclu-
sion or at least into clam-like
silence. 1t was entertaining read
ing indeed tc peruse the columns
of newspapers and read the dec
larations of Col. Martin F. Ansel
of Greenville IN favor of local
option with State control, ,and the
original ideas Of Senator Man
ming of Sumter on reforming the
Dispensary, which had first been
promulgated by Senator Tillman
months before. These gentle
men were about to seat them
selves in the Governors char,
but the sharp point of public SEN
timent, as expressed in several
counties, so contrary to the ex-
pressions they placed on record
before they knew ''what would
turn up made them rise with
such a look of disgust upon their
faces that we imagine as they
We're rubbing the smarting places
that they reproached themselves
for having spoken.
We should like at this stage of
the game to see an expression
from both of these gentlemen
Just to see if they are not cen
vinced of thef fact that the people,
and not the politicians, are going
to settle the liquor question.
The politicians, with the aid of
the whiskey machine. are in the
saddle at this time, but they are
playing a desperate game and
must soon surrender then the
people will come to their own,
and the little "me-too's" and
time-servers, the apists and sque.
dunks. will be thrown into the
junk-pile and men of brain and
backbone, ability and integrity,
will be brought into commission
to put the State in the position
that her past glory and tradi-
tions entitle her. Men with i'm.
pulses of patriotism instead of
self -glorifcation, and aggran-
dizement, men who Il n d
more virtue in elevating human
lty by clean and honest methods
than can be obtained by debauch-
cry that fills the States Golfers
with gold.

IS THE COMMITTEE BAMBooZLED .

What has become Of the great
investigating committee that
was to make a raid on the sthead
center Of devilment?" Can it be
possible they have found a place
where they fear to lift the lid?
Did not Senator Tlllman offer to
go before the committee and
testify: Can it be the committee
do not care to hear the Senator
on oath? Something has called
a halt, but what it is we are at a
loss to know. These inquisitors
raised q great splutteration
while they were padding in
shallow water: they made the
minnows squirm and jump, but
as soon as they showed off from
shore and hit the deep water
where the big fish abide, there
comes a calm over the surface Of
things and nothing doing. Is
this an ominous silence? Will
there be something startling
soon? Perhaps the investigating
committee have an inkling Of
what Senator Tillman will tes-
tify to, and they preparing a
subteranian passage to the dis
pensary, and Tillman's testi-
mony is the slow match to be
applied to the secreted explo-
Esives.
The public has been waiting
anxiously for developments in
the dispensary affairs, develop

Supervisor Owens Defense.

Please allow me space in your paper
to reply to Mr.. J., L. kelly's charges.
1t seems that Kelly gives himself more
credit for work on the roads than he
does any others, he only gives me
credit for four days work, (dltchlng)
three branches on both sides and brld-
gine them.
MIR. Kelly claims time for presenting
petition to the board for the road and
location the same: something that no
one has ever done before, they would
do three or four days's work and make
no charges for it. Now, Mr.. Kelly. Mr..
Chandler and Nh Daniels, did as many
DAYS work as you did, except the day
YOU claim for presenting petition and
locating road, and made no charges for
it: they answered every call this year
and worked over time. Now Mr.. Kelly,
YOU charge me with piling up sand in
the road at a cost OF $3.50. per month.
and the people are protesting daily. No
one has ever made any protest to me.
By-the-way, Mr.. Editor, see in last
weeks issue MIR. Kelly has made some
corrections, after seeing it in print. 1t
looks too extravagant, so be blames the
printer for it. No doubt the printer
followed the copy, printed Mr.. Kelly's
article as it was written.
Now Mr.. Kelly, as to the contract.
You charge me with letting out for
$36. when was offered $50. for the same
work. Mr.. Kelly, you know this was
false. told you personally that there
was not d word OF truth, in it. | was
offered $40. to cut out the two bays,
but would not let it by contract, be-
cause l had Mr.. Hudnal hired as over
seer and sent him there. He hired
hands and re-cut one and one-half miles
of road and rolled the logs out and cut
the two bays and rolled the logs out OF
them, and the two pieces of work only
cost S2S.5i.
I could not answer your charges last
week because l wanted to get the ex-
act figures. Mr.. Kelly, l have endeav-
ried to answer your charges with facts
and figures, so now Mr.. Kelly, you may
kick your shoes off and bay the moon
until your tongue paralyses, will no
tice no more of your charges.
Respectfully,
T. c.. OWENS.

Public Opinion says: During
the Presidents visit to Raleigh
a Democratic official said We
forgive President Roosevelt for
all but one thing-you know what
that is-and we will do our best
to forget that. He has done
greater things than any except
two or three of our Presidents.
Here is the key to the Presidents
popularity. He is the kind of
man who can make mistakes with
impunity;; they will be forgiven
or forgotten. Why? Because
the honesty o. his motives stands
unquestioned. Because he grows
with experience. Because his
mistakes are mistakes of impulse
rather than of intention, and be-
cause they are SO much more than
counterbalanced by right acts.
President Roosevelt is one of
those rare political leaders whom
it is possible to like and believe
in though disagreeing with some
of his policies. In his larger as
pect, and in spite of himself, he
is non-partisan-for the newer
issues do not yet admit Of partl-
sanship."

The TINES has frequently di-
rected the attention of the author
tiles to an element in this town
that do not manifest a disposition
to earn their bread by the sweat
of their faces, and yet they live,
and dress better than many who
work. It needs no guess-work
to ascertain how they live-they
steal. Yesterday an unsuspect-
ing darkey from the St. Paul Sec
ton by the name of McDufy was
accosted by Gus Collins and
asked in a playful manner to be
allowed to hold his money and
he would show him trick. Gus
made some finn fam motions, and
iumbled a few incoherent words,
then returned the old darkey his
money, but on counting it there
was missing $40. The St. Paul
sucker pleaded with Gus to re-
turn him his money, but Gus he
would not, declaring all the time
that he did not have it. Police
man Higgins was appealed to,
and Gus was put in the guard
house. The authorities ought to
put on him such a heavy penalty
that he will have to so on the
chain-gang. and then another
charge should be made against
him to keep him there. There
are several of these kinds of
thieves here and the town should
be rid of them.

Russia is at last to give her
people a constitutional govern
ment. Count Witte. who per
formed the great diplomatic feat
in which Japan was robbed Of the
spoils of war, has succeeded in
inducing Emperor Nicholas to
surrender to the popular demand
for extended suffrage and civil
liberty. The old order of things
in the Russian autocracy is now
a thing of the past, and the peo-
pie of Russia will for the first
time in the history of the Roman
offs enjoy free speech, a free
press and the right to select rep,
resentatives the same as is now
enjoyed by the people OF Eng
land.

The creating Of two additional
has not had the effect to
relieve congested dockets, as we
notice special courts: with spe-
cial Judges continue to be ap-
pointed. It will be remembered
we opposed the ':Ten Circuit
Bill" contending that its main
purpose was to create more Off
ces and more officers, as though
we did not have enough already
to transact our business. The
two additional circuits were
created, and with them came two
more judges, two more solicitors
and two more stenographers, and
then what? The necessity Of go
ing outside the paid judiciary for
lawyers to serve as judges to re-
lieve docket-congestion.
We believe if the General AS
sembly were to amend the con-
stitution making it unconstltu-
tional for mem Der of the legis-
lature to be the beneficiary of an
office which he helped to create,
there would be fewer offices
created, and there would be lit
tie danger of filing the judiciary
up with men who go to the leg
islature for no other purpose
than to have themselves settled
into a nice paying job. The peo-
pie who honor them with their
votes are not taken into consid-
Grafton. There should be some
way devised to put a stop to this
job-creating legislation.

Toxic, March 1.-THE latest dis

the Russian retreat has become a rout
The Russians are flying northwa:-d, the
japanese following closely. SO Wig
orous and relentless has been the pur-
suit that whole divisions Of the enemy
have been cufinto small sections.
A wedge has been driven through
the whole Russian centre on the Hun
river and a great force of Russians
enveIoped. The Russians lost heavily
and large number have been cor
rallied.
War experts here are Of the opinion
that Gen. Nogi with his Port Arthur
veterans, has cut his way through
further north and will prevent the
Russians from piercing the Gordon
formed around theru.
The estimated number of men Gen
Kuropatkin has lost is between 10000
and $4,000, not including those taker

HOLOCAUST IN new YORK.
TWENTY BURNED TO DEATH IN
TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE.
The Hard Work and Daring of the

Greater Loss of Life.

tenement was an oldSfashioned hve-
story structure with two apartments in
front and two in the rear Twenty FAM
lilies, consisting of 140 persons, lived
in the building.
The fire, which started in a paint
shop in the rear, spread like wild fire
and it is believed to have been Of in
cendiary origin.
Lietenant Bonner, son Of the
former fire chief, scaled red hot fire
escape five times and each time
brought down. woman and child.
Finally Bonner became Sc exhausted
that he fell against the fire escape and
would have been roasted to death had
he not been rescued by his comrades.
Many of the inmates were rescued by
the iremen forming a human ladder.
