After Much Searching One Has Been
Found.

There are fifty young men in Raleigh,
reared in republican homes, who are dem
ocrsts. They are taking course that has
the approval of their Judgment and they
make no fuss about. One young democrat
in Western North Carolina has been dis
covered, after raking the state " ith fine
tooth comb, to fine the radicals" and
the Subsidized News makes as great a fuss
over it as if it amounted to more votes
than the republicans will lose by the SELL
tence of corrupt officials to the peniten-
tIary.
Mr.. Toms is not the first young man who
has gone to the republican party expecting
that his departure would create vacuum
He has right to go, but why should he
feel called upon to inflict the governor with
q dissertation of his newly discovered
views, practically the same that Marion
Butler and S. Ohio Wilson got off when
they ''jined" the gang? He could have re-
signed his seat in the senate without his
long prOnunciamento. Wouldn't it have
been in better taste to resign and to have
hired a hall to air his new views?

JOHN RUSSELL GOES OVER.
Tired of the Party That Has Not
Given Him a County Office,
But Says Toms Letter
Did the Work.

]. N. Russell announces his conver-
sion to republicanism. He is reported
to have been at the anxious seat for sew
years past. Even two years ago he made
a quiet canvass among some of the lead
ing republicans in order to ascertain
whether he might receive the republic
can nomination for sheriff. Four years
ago he worked for Moody for Congress.
Mr.. Russell isvery anxious to be sher-
iff of Henderson county and has little
choice as to which party elects him.
We hope that the republicans will treat
our retiring brother according to bis
deserts. He is brave man to repudi-
ate all that he has done and said and
stood for in long life, and to embrace
republicanism with all it means in North
Carolina.
lie announces that Charities letter
conyipced him of the error of his life.
He was easily convinced. Is is great
pity he could not take it all back and
live his life over again. Let us look q
little further into this Russell affair.".
The following letters tell their own
story:

just gave him one of those Good rid

Press Comments Upon the AC-
tiOn Of this Petended Con-
vert to RepubliCaniSm.
HIS REASONS ARE NOT VALID.
"A Gutter That He May Profit, to
Be Despised by Roosevelt and
Every Other Man in the
North or South.
Tom. Quitter.

State Senator Charles F, Toms, ESQ.,, of
of HendeIsonville. N. g., has sent to Gov
ernor R. B. Glenn his resignation as DEM
ocratic representative of the people, and
declares his intention to affiliate here
after, with the republican party.
Reasons for such motives are always in
order. but when we consider the reasons
expressed, we find the principal reason
back of it purerile and are led.to believe
that hope of reward for the future is ac-
tuaIIy andIaltogether the motive.
A gutter: AS long as the man lives,
this approbium will be applied to him. A
uaitter for no other reason on the face OF
the earth than that he, Individually, may
profit. Roosevelt will despise him and ev-
cry other man in the northern and south
ern states. He is politician without
brains, a man who would drink and feed
his family at the public trough regardless
of being contributor.
When he says that reflection has led him
to do as he does, he is a craven liar. He
wants Pap. He is infinitely too lazy to
read and judge for himself. He was born
law and is traitor to the constituency
hat has honored him.
Democracy has just now all the argu-
ment on its side, and even President Roose-
velt is showing his appreciation of demo
cratic principles, and for such man rs
this, half nonentity, to get into the news
papers and pose before the state as some
body, is simply ridiculous.
Had he been sure of his election by dem
ocrats in the approaching campaign, this
letter would never have been written

A man who joins the republican, party in
North Carolina with the idea of escaping
from factional fights employs queer pro-
cess of reasoning, to say the least. If any
party was ever torn up by factionaI dis
cords to a greater extent than the republi-
can party in North Carolina today we
would like to know when and where it
was.-Winston Sentinel.

Now that Mr.. Toms has decided to leave
the democratic party his former political
associates are curious to know whether he
will join the Marion Butler or the Black

ACCIDENTAL DROWNING
Thomas Sullivan of Baldwin Street Net
 Death in Brass Mil Pond.

Thomas Sullivan of Baldwin street, an employe of the Scovill Manufac- turing Co. was drowned yesterday af ternoon about 4:30 o'clock in the Brass Mill pond, near the Hall & Upson ice house, spot where quite few have met death during the past ten or fifteen years. MT Sulli- van attended divine service at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and in the afternoon, accompanied by Daniel Mccarthy of Fuller street, he went out to the pond to have bath. Mc- Carthy stripped first and swan out into the water. The pond is hallow near the edge, but short distance out 1t becomes suddenly deep, and Sullivan, like many others, not being aware of this, stepped into water ten or fifteen feet deep before he knew it. Some say he couldn't swim, while others insist that he could and that the accident was due to cramps; but in any case he shouted for help, and although there were people on the bank who did their best to reach out plank to him, he disappeared before anything could be done to save him. Hisfcompanion was some dis tance away at the time and was not aware of the fate of his friend until those who witnessed the drowning apprised him of it. Efforts were im- mediately made to find the body and were kept up until darkness set in without locating it. At an early hour this morning the search was resumed and about II o'clock James Kinney of Sylvan avenue brought the body to the surface in the rear of the ice house and quite close to the dam and not over twelve or fifteen feet from where he went down. Medical Ex- aminer Graves gave permission for the removal of the body to Mulville's morgue. Later 1t was taken to the residence of William Ladden, 1S7 Baldwin street, where MT Sullivan lived. He was 29 years of age, a splendid type of man physically, and is said to have been of excellent char acter. He was native of the dis trict of Ardfert, County Kerry, Ire land. He leaves a sister, Miss Anna Sullivan of Fuller street, an employe of the American Mills Co, aISi had many other relatives both here and in his native country:
 The funeral will be held at S:3O o'clock tomorrow morning with mass of requiem at the Immaculate Conception church and the interment in new St Joseph's cemetery.

MAHER'S GREAT WINNINGS. American Rider Has Carried Of the
 Biggest Plums.

This year will probably be known among English turf1tes as Maher's year, on account of the manner in which he has carried off the biggest and sweetest plums. He heads the list of jockeys, with the best aver age, over 25 per cent, and comes third as regards the number of win ming mounts, having secured a place in fOrty-seven out of 179 in which he has ridden.
 As the result of these successes he has won in stakes for his various employers no less than s271,S74. Last week he captured the two chief events at Sandown park--the Eclipse stakes, worth $46,425, on Llangibby, and the National Produce Breeders stakes, worth $21,7S5, on Lord Rose bery's Traquir. In addition he has ridden the winners of such valuable races as the Kempton Jubilee. the Derby and Oaks at Epson, the Man chester cup and the Coventry stakes, and the Coronation stakes and Gold cup at Ascot.
 Last season Maher earned $291,- 402 for his employers in 101 races There is no doubt that he will con- siderably exceed this sum before tho end of the present season.

THE ZION CITY ROW.
Negotiations Made for a Settlement
 at Meetings Held Yesterday.

Chicago, Aug 20.-Further evil dence of peace negotiations between John Alexander Dowie and Wilbur Glenn Voiiva ana his followers came out at two meetings held in Zion City yesterday. It was Dowie's day at the tabernacle, but the first apostle fail ed to appear, although 1t was an- nounced from hour to hour that he would soon be there. Deacon A. E. Arlington represented Dowie and de- clared that the deposed leader would give to the public in a few days a statement of his side of the contro- versy. For the first time since the differences arose between Dowie and Voliva, the general overseer prayed for Dowie and asked the people to do the same. They were asked to pray that Dowie would be guided alright In any step he was about to take.
 According to the Inter-0cean ar agreement was reached yesterday by which Dowie will. for the remainder of his life. remain the first apostle" of the Christian Catholic church. while the temporal affairs of the com munity will be in the hands of vo- liva and his supporters.
 It was finally agreed that Dowie should drop all attempts to dispute the ruling of the federal court in the recent case between himself and Voliva for the possession of the as- sets of Zion. Dowie also agreed to give his tentative support to voliva in his campaign for the place of gen. eral overseer at the election ordered by the court for next month.
 In return for this roliva and his friends promised that SO soon as the office of general oyerseer is vested in Voliva, the latter will proclaim his faith in the teachings of Dowie and acknowledge his supremacy in all matters pertaining to the church.
