CRIMES on TIE INCREASE.

There are six desperate criminals
in Jail at Greensboro charged with
murder or conspiracy to murder. 1t
is probable that petition will be
made to the Governor to call spe-
cial term of court to Try these cases.
The Greensboro correspondent of the
Raleigh Times writing on the situa-
tion, says:
THE next term Of criminal court
does not convene until September
II, and is only for one week, barely
long enough TO dispose of the smaller
Jail cases that will be On the docket
by that time. Besides, there Is an
unquestioned feeling that these six

promptly as possible, as the fire.
quency of like offences In the past
several years, with apparently in
adequate punishment, is causing
many indignant comments, and no
little nervousness"
Ex-Governor Aycock will doubt
less be surprised 10 learn that crimes
have continued to increase in this
State since he was inaugurated Gov
ernOr in January, 1901. There are
many other counties In the State
that have as bad a criminal record
as GuiIford, and still the trainers of
the Democratic platform, recently
adopted at Greensboro, had the
nerve to "point with pride" to the
reign of law and order In this State
While Mr.. Simmons was making
a speech in Raleigh TO his party
friends Monday night, congratulate
ing them on "the PEACE and pro.
gress we now enjoy" under Demo-
cratic rule, his colleague was at that
moment in Salisbury pleading with
mob trying to prevent them from
lynching five negroes. However,
his colleague did not succeed and
three negroes were dragged from the
Jail and lynched near the town, and
several citizens of the town were
seriously wounded by the mob.
Where is the peace to which Mr..
Simmons referred? and where is
the law and order in this State to
which the Democratic State plat
form ''pOints with pride"?

Lawlessness walks the State like
a pestilence, crime stalks abroad at
MONDAY, sleep lays down with
alarm, and the sound of the pistol
is more freqent than the song of the
mocking-bird.
The following is from the Sanford
Express (democratic):
"There seem to be an epidemic of
homicides and crime in this State.
One can hardly pick up State paper
without finding the accounts of a
number Of murders and attempts to
commit murder. The criminally in
clined are handy with the pistol and
the knife, and use them on the
slightest pfovocation. They have
contempt for the law and carry these
weapons and use them with impu-
nifty"
The Democrats should change the
part Of their platform that "points
with pride'' to law and order in
this State. That plank in their plat
form is a farce.

SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

While the Second Regiment was
encamped at Moorehead 1t was dis
covered by some OF the officers that
they did not have sufficient funds
TO stay ten days, a. was intended.
II looked at one time as though they
would have to break camp and go
home ahead Of time, but the boys
finally agreed TO stay ten days for
eight days pay. There has been
some talk that q great deal OF the
money was spent In high living by
some Of the "higher up" The VIII
mington Messenger (democraticl
makes the following comment On
the situation
1--WE are sorry that Colonel Bra
gaw, Of the Second Regiment, dur
ing the recent encampment pur-
suaded the officers Of that regiment
to abandon their proposed cOmmu'
nication to the war department on
the condition Of the equipment and
pay for the full ten days of thai
regiment. If our information Ii
correct, and we have 1t from such 9
source that we cannot doubt 1t, there
Iare other matters connected with the
State Guard which should be thor
oughly investigated. Is Governor
Glenn going to let matters continue

The Democratic papers all over
the country have made much COM
ment over the fact that the Re-
publican Congressional Committee
had called on every Republican to
contribute one dollar to their cam
paign fund to defray the necessary
expenses of the pending campaign.
The Democratic Congressional Com
mittee has experienced serious diff
Guilty in obtaining funds to run their
campaign, and have now adopted
the Republican plan of calling on
all their party followers for a dollar
each to defray expenses. The Demo-
Gratis are as great imitators as any
other race we know. They have
tried to steal the Republican plat
form and are now adopting Repub-
llcan ideas for conducting their Con-
gressional campaign, even after hav-
ing made fun Of the course they are
now pursuing.

A SIGNIFICANT REPUBLICAN
VICTORY IN TENNESSEE.

Hon. II. Clay Evans, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor Of Ten
ness, is making strong and effective
canvass. The other day the Repub-
licans carried the city Of Knoxville
and the County in local election
by a majority of nearly 1900. If
half such gains are made generally
over the State Evans will be elected
by very large majority.
The sentiment in favor of Repub-
lican policies and principles is grow
ing as fast in North Carolina as in
Tennessee. The important thing in
this State this year is TO put up
strong County and Legislative tick
cts, and to put County Chairman
in charge of the fight who has brains
and character, man who above all
honestly wants to carry his County.

This, we understand, was written by
q prominent man who has been q
lifelong Republican. There is much
meat in what he says. This effort
to try to brighten the people over
the outlook for Republican growth
and success is very transparent
dodge. In the first place the rank
and file Of the Republican party is
as honest and as patriotic as those
Democratic politicians who inveieh
against them. In the next place
when the Republican party should
gain enough recruits to carry the
State, those recruits will come from
the very best elements of the Demo-
cratic party, and these recruits will
make up majority of the Republi.
can party.
Therefore, the Reputl can party,
when it is again in control of the
State, will itself be controlled by the
very best elements which formerly
composed the Democratic party.

JOINT DEBATES IN NINTH AND

We are glad to see that Mr.. Britt,
the Republican nominee in the 10th
Congressional district and Mr.. Craw-
ford, the Democratic nominee, will
jointly canvass their district. 1t Is
also announced that Mr.. Roberts, the
Republican nominee in the ninth
district will meet Congressman
Webb In joint debate.
The people like to hear both sides
presented in joint debate. When
the opposing candidates are men of
ability and character who will not
deal in abuse and mudslinging, but
present the issues on a high plane,
the voters can come nearer getting
at the real facts, than in any other
way.
The Republican party should well
come joint debates everywhere, for
there has never been a time when
the facts and the arguments were
more strongly on the Republican
side. So if the Republican party
will nominate In every instance men
of character and ability they will be
sure to be the gamers by joint dis
cussiOn.

Editor Eaily Industrial News:
The air is full of Democratic whis.
perings that though cotton is worth
double what it was under Cleveland ;
that though the hen now sells for
three shillings while ten years ago it
sold for sixpence, that though all Ia
Dor is employed at profitable rates,
when in that reign of Democratic
government men stood idle on the
streets with no man to hire them,
that though the manufacturing in
dustries of the State have doubled
in value and productive power; that
though the number of land owners
in North Carolina has increased in
vast proportion, yet still it would
be unsafe TO trust the men who have
managed national affairs 80 we'll
with the control OF our State.
Surely this needs some explanation.
Whence this fear? Is il from O
recollection of what the Republican
party, with its allies of the Peoples
PARTY and Farmers Alliance, did for
North Carolina while the old State
was in the throes of Clevelandism I?
To whom do we owe the Corporation
Commlssion-that first attempt to
curb the power Of corporation con-
troll? To whom do we owe the
State Normal College-that first step
in behalf Of State education for
women? To whom do we owe the
first great leap upward in the appro.
priatiOn for common school fund :?
The answer occurs to every honest
heart. 1t was to these derided, de-
nOunced and still suspected farmers
and patriots of eastern aud Pied
mont North Carolina. They cOnsti.
tuted then, as now, the very back
bone of the State. Without their
active help or passive sympathy no
party can win or hope to retain
power in North Carolina. Free from
the selfish ambition, which agitates
the breasts of politicians proper, they
in their day of power conserved
every leading interest of the State,
in charity and in education, in pub
lie works and in the administration
of justice.
1t is scandaious to think that the
great Democratic party has nothing
better to offer the people of the State
than to arouse childish fears as to
what their opponents may or may
not do If given powor by the suf-
frage of the class Of men to whom

past five years have been Saving

enough to poll vote in their favor.
They forget the time when under
Cleveland they had nothing to do
except to vote.
Rouse these men, Mr.. Editor, and
do not fear that good word spoken
for their leader in past conflicts, ex-
Senator Butler, is going to hurt any,
thing. The men who are shy of

he has, and which by confession
they lack. The party Is broad enough
