AFTER THREE YEARS
Returns to Stand Trial for Killing His
Brother

Robert McGaha who killed his broth
er about three years ago, at Mt. Ster-
ling. ". C., alleging that he shot in
self defense, came in Monday morning
and surrendered TO Sheriff holland who
placed him in Haywood county Jail
The sheriff received Il letter last week
from McGhaha stating hal he would
be here Monday. At the time he kill
ed his brother, McGaha was tried be
fore a justice of the peace, and there
being no evidence produced against
him. he was released. Later about a
year ago a true bill was found, but
McGaha had moved to the state of
Tennessee, and learning that there
were papers out for his arrest, he de-
cided to come in and surrender. This
case will come up at the approaching
September term. which begins the 18th

BUCK DUKE AND HIS AUTOMO'
.BILES.

When Jas. B. Duke, the multi-mil-
lionaire, married the fair widow last
winter he invested twenty-five thou
sand dollars in three automobiles just
to please her. He has always had an
aversion to these noisy, bad smelling
cOnveyances; but he put his perjudices
aside for the sake of his bride: but
as soon as she changed her position
from that of an adored bride of a few
months to that Of defendant in a suit
for divorce the old feeling Of repug-
nance toward the automobile returned
with increased force. Mr.. Duke went
back to his carriage and blooded
horses and proceeded to dispose of the
other conveyances. One of the big ma
chimes he gave to an employee in his
New York office. The other.two have
not yet been disposed of. No doubt
there are many of his friends who wish
he would remember them when lie
comes TO getting rid of them.

THE HANDWRITING ON THE
WALL.

The New York Commercial sees the
handwriting on the wall. 1t under
stands the situation as regards cotton
manufacturing in this country. It
knows that in the near future the
south will be the manufacturing sec
ton of the country. That paper is
not alone in it's views on this subject.
The New England mill men are fully
aware of the present conditions and
Of the future prospects of their indus
try. They see their occupation Slip
ping away from them and tending
southwark day by day. They are max
ing strenuous efforts to stem the tide,
and are putting their heads together
to devise plans for checking the
steady movement; but SO far they have
not succeeded; nor will they be able
to do so. Natural conditions. reen-
forced by the awakening of the south
to her true interests, are against
them. Their only salvation is to move
their plants to the cotton fields where
they can compete on equal terms with
the mills established by the southern
ers, and the sooner they realize this
the better it viii be for them.
If they wait too long they will find
that there is no room for them; that
the field is entirely occupied by men
who have had better insight into the
true conditions and who at once took
advantage Of them. One statement OF
The Commercial shows how rapidly
the situation is changing. 1t says that
of the four hundred and eighty-thrce
cotton mills erected in the last three
al foul hundred and five were in
the south.
That paper says:
That important changes are takingI
place in the manufacture and DISPOSE
ton of cotton goods. as we'll as in the
growing and marketing of the raw sta!
pie. is learned from the addresses de-
livered at the convention of the New
England Cotton Manufacturers AssO-
citation at Atlantic City. The ways of
today are not the old ways. Once the
north had the manufacture of cotton
pretty we'll within it's own hands. and
the south knew nothing about cottonI
except to plant and pick it. Them

WHICH is

On Tuesday Of last week an cleo
ton or the question Of saloons or nc
saloons was held in Wadesboro. The
"wets" were victorious. The Messen.
ger and Intelligencer of that town
gave the vote as 100 for saloons and
1O7 against saloons. AS to the vote
the Wadesboro paper says:
In this connection The Messenger
and InteIligenger has been requested
to say that a majority of the white
voters who voted at the election IA
Vored saloons. This request was made
because a statement has been sent
out from here to papers in other towns
to the effect that if the "wets'' car
ried h election they would do it with
negro votes.
The LumbertOn Argus of the goth
contradicts this statement, on what
authority it does not state, saying that
cit has been learned that the saloon
advocates won through the manipula-
ton of the negro vote" Rum won
by 81 majority" it says, land IS he
groes voted, all voting the wet ticket
It will be seen that the two papers do
not agree even as to the majority
by which the saloon ticket was VIC
-tOrious.
If the assertion of the W~adesboro
paper be true We think The Argus
should correct its statement and make
the aElende honorable to the white
people of W~adesboro.
If the charge made by the other
paper is correct then those white peo-
Dle of Wadesboro who manipulated
the negro vote in order to defeat the
will at the ballot box of the majority
of the white voters of the town
should be severely criticised for tkebr
conduct. Furthermore they are laying

BRYAN AND HIS PARTY,

The Washington Post finds Mr..
Bryan an ever ready subject for edi-
torial comment. 1t seems to discover
something new about him worthy of
discussing almost every day. In Mon
days issue there is an editorial under
the heading: "Mr. Bryan and His
Party in which the Post says that for
q man who is devoid of imagination
and has no sense of humor Mr.. Bryan
does some astonishing things. His
latest proceeding which that paper con-
sides fit matter for comment is his
'caressing Mr.. Roosevelt with one hand
and with the other flashing the de-
mocracy of Nebraska to that hopeless
derelict, the wrecked populist craft,
The Post declares that Mr.. Bryan be
lieves in Roosevelt; he believes in
Hearst; he believes in Tom Johnson:
ne believes in Everlasting Allen, of the
fifteen hour oration." But, in enumer-
ating the men in whom Mr.. Bryan be-
lieyes, we do not understand how it
came to omit the one in whom he be-
lieves the most-William Jennings
Bryan.
OF the result Of Mr.. Bryan's party
management which included the ALI
II C with the populists The Post says:
What he wanted with that corpse.
the opulis party. not even he. louua-
cious as he is. could find language to
tell. Twelve years ago the democratic
party vent into partnership with the
poDulists. n there has not been a
democratic victory achieved since.
When that alliance was made both
houses of congress had democratic
maiOrities and the president of the
United States was a democrat. Both
senator's from New York. both senators
from Indiana. and both senators from
Wisconsin were democrats. There was
n democratic enator from Ohio
n another from Illinois. Delaware
was q democratic state and Michigan
was doubtful. The north and far
west were full of democratic govern
Ors. The south was solid.
And hat was the state of the dem
ocratic party March 4. 1903. By Au-
ust of that year Mr.. Bryan began to
influence democratic councils. and
twelve months later there was a full
partnership between democracy and
Dopulism. John G.. Carlisle gave place
to Jerry Simpson in democratic cOun-
ellis. Tom Watson a become a bet
ter democrat than George Gray. Mrs.
Lease was better democratic authority
than William E. Russell.
Then came that 1896 saturnalia,
when democracy had become agrarian
in the country and sans-culottish in
the towns.
Mr.. Bryan has learned nothing and
has forgotten nothing. He is even for
free silver. n his farewell before he
left for foreign parts was an assertion
that h 5O-cent dollar is STANDARD
money!"
If Mr.. Bryan will remain abroad
until after November. 1906. and If the
democratic party. in his absence. shall
discard all the nonsense that has COW
cred it as with a mantle the past
dozen years. there is a possibility that
Mr.. Bryan will find a democratic VIC
tory on his return and a democratic
majority in the house of the sixtieth
congress-.
