WHITE, AND DON'T HAVE TO BE
TAGGED,

Mr.. J. NJ. Smith, Of Rocking
ham, has purchased the Anglo Saxon
and states that in the future it will
be run as an Independent paper. The
Charlotte Observer Monday in speak
ing Of the change in the ownership
Of the Argio-Saxon, goes out Of lis
way TO throw "bCquet" at us.
The Observer, in closing its cdito-
rial. says:
Gas q matter Of course. The
Anglo-Saxon will hereafter be Re-
publican instead of a Democratic
paper. What causes US worry is
why, as in the case of The Caucasian,
of Raleigh-formerly, if not now
Marion Buffers paper-that it
doesn't change its name"
We might state just here that we
come fully as near living up to our
name as does the Observer and we
do not have TO tag ourselves for peO-
PIE 10 know that we are white.

A prominent lady in Washington
City says that too much space is
given in |he newspapers to politics
and the tariff.
1t is necessary for secular paper:
to discuss politics, but we agree with
the good lady that too much space
is devoted to the discussion Of the
tlriff-unless the writers were bet
ter Informed on the question. Many
editors discuss the tariff when they
haven't the first idea of what the
t.riff is.

nounced him for attempting to in
terfere with the legislature in doing

tering into a dirty bargain with the

had done more harm to prohibition
than all Of the baTkeepers in the

weeping hypocritical tears over an

There are more hyrocrites among

goes to political convention with a
crowd Of hired rioters who are
tanked up On whiskey and have bar
rels Of free liquor to be handed out
to the delegates to keep up "inspi-
ration" it's mighty bad moral
precedent, and then for a candidate
whose denomination came about un-
der such methods to go over this
county and thrill the natives with
his eloquent speeches in favor Of
prohibition looks to us like hart
to the temperance cause, and it may
react, later on, with bad effect. It

It's up TO you preachers who fought

show his hand.
There are hundreds of good men
in the city who would prefer open,

the dispensary start petition at
