CATS AND DOGS.
Moods, Tempers and Natures of the
CANNES and FeIines.

Cats do not take punishment as
dogs do. Their tempers rise, and if
struck they are apt to strike back,
but beyond a gentle cuff to kitten
now and then l find a scolding or an
exclamation of rebuke enough.
They are also less intelligent and
forgiving than dog if unintentiOn-
ally kicked or trodden on. There is
no more beautiful expression in a
dogs face than the look he turns to
the friend who has involuntarily
hurt him before there is time to ex-
plain. His whole demeanor express
es the highest magnanimity, not on
ly the foregone pardon, but the
eager desire that the offender shall
think no more of the matter.
In many respects cats are more
like men and women than dogs are.
They have moods, and their nature
is complex. A dog is very much of
a piece. He is a good dog or bad
dog, brave or cowardly, honest or a
sneak. The canine intelligence is
much higher than the feline, but the
disposition is simpler.
Cats are exceedingly irritable by
temperament, sensitive to changes
of the weather, to frost, to thunder.
They are excitable and naturally dis
posed to bite and scratch when at
play. There is a curious tendency
in them, as in II S!lanced or over
strung human be Q $, to lose their
heads when in high spirits, and the
self command most of them show
when full grown in resisting these
impulses is a striking proof of con-
scious responsibility. A full grown
pet cat scarcely ever scratches a
young child, no matter how much
mauled by it. Besides being irrita-
bic cats are moody and subject to
depression, probably a physical re-
action from the former condition.
With one exception all the cats 1
have known are captious. Their in

He Didn't go Radical,
To the Editor of The Observer:

To the Editor of The Observer:
On July 3rd a communication was sent to
The Asheville Gazette-News by the cores
pondent of that paper at Rutherfordton,
stating: "Mr. Butler A. Justice, a young
attorney of this place and q son of Judge
II. H. Justice, who has heretofore been an
active and aggressive democrat, arose and
IN stentorian tones addressed the conven-
ton. No.doubt this is a SUI PRISE
to democrats as we'll as republicans" The
convention referred to was the republican
congressional and judicial convention
which met in Rutherfordton July third.
: Mr.. Justice is in Marion this week at
tending court. Today he was approached
by some of his many friends of. this place
relative to his recent change in politics.
Mr.. Justice drew from his pocket a clip
ping from The Gazette-News which con
tanned the. communication above quoted,
dent and others: Il did not know that I
was listed among the republicans until last
week when a friend of mine handed me
this communication. In fact, l am not
cognizaut of my relatio ms with the repub.
lican party at the present time, I can't see
how one of my democratic friends could
suppose for q moment that | had deserted
the old ship, for L have been q democrat
since I could vote and expect to remain SO
as long as / can vote and remain in my
right mind, There is absolutely nc founda-
ton for any such unjust criticism as that
made in the Asheville paper. | did attend
the republican convention with a body of
democrats and while present one of the
leading republicans, in speaking to the
convention made statements directly OPP
posite to what | told him in a private in
tervlew and in response and contradiction
to his remarks | addressed the convention
and in my talk / stated to this republican
that, if he expected to continue such re-
marks as he had made, some good demo-
crat would meet him outside of his conven-
ton aud him political hurts. So don't be
alarmed, boys, l am still in line with DEM
ocr9cy and if there is a reporter present 1
wish he would make this statement for me
in print, and if so. / hope that The Ashe-
vile Gazette-News will do me the cour-
tesy to copy this, so that my friends who
read that paper can tell where I stand.'

Bob Taylor once said: There
is nothing in the world so pathetic
as a candidate. He is like a
mariner without a compass, drift
ing on the tempest-tossed waves
of uncertainty between the smil-
ing cliff of hope and the fro wning
crags of despair. He is a walk
ing petition and a living prayer;
the pack-horse of public senti-
ment, the d~romedary of polite s
all of which is respectively sub
mitted to the prayerful considera-
ton of the candidates "who also
ran" before the county republican
convention last Saturday.

THAT DIGNlFIED BODY.

Hon. Marion Butler, also, was
interviewed one day last week by
The Washington Post, and con-
fded to it that the recent North
Carolina republican convention
twas probably the most dignlhed,
the best attended and most signid-
cant of any gathering of that par
ty ever held In q Southern State.
TheiGreenshoro Record is disgust
ed, as witness.
"Dignifed body Is good, re-
ferring to his convention. Every
man who attended it chacterized
it as the worst ever. Even the
chairman. Judge Adams, was out
ragged and gave notice that he
would call the police if more de-
cency was not observed and later
in the day the police did come ;
they had to come to keep a man
from gun play. An amusing
thing about Buffers talk Is that
he speaks like he attended the ses-
sions of the convention when he
never showed his face near 1t and
there was a reason for it. His
friends told him if he was seen In
the hall the crowd would throw
him out of the window"
It was a dignifed gathering, in
deed, featured by revolvers and
policemen, and which the party
leader could not attend except at
the risk of being flung out of a
window.-Charlotte Observer.

Compare your tax receipt for
the last year the county finances
we're handled by democratic Off
Gals, with the one for 1905 and
note the difference. This will
give sufficient evidence to any
reasonable man of the folly of
voting the republican ticket in
Henderson county. It certainly
costs money to be a republican in
these parts.

THE LAUGH ON s%PAlNHoUR.
Solicitor Calls Names Under DIFF
fculty-Department Secur-
ing Data For Report
News and Observer


Assistant Labor Commissioner Shipman
returned to the city yesterday from a tour
of the counties of Mcdowell. Rutherford
Cleveland and points in Castor and Meek
lenburg. where he went TO secure data for
the work of the department. Mr.. Ship
man was in Marion last Friday when the
nine Italians were put on trial in the super
ior court. presided over by Judge Cooke,
charged with conspiracy to murder all the
laborers and managers at camp No. 6 on
the South s. Western Railroad construction
work some time during the month oe May,
and says the proceedings were exceedingly
interesting, every question being PROFOUND
ed by an interpreter and answered to the
same convened to the court In like man
ner. The court, lawyers, officers and spec
tators became c~onvulsed with laughter
when Solicitor S~painhour undertook to
pronounce the names of the defendants In
reading the bill of indictment. demanded
by Judge Avery, counsel for the foreign
ers. The defendants appeared to be much
interested, and listened attentively to each
and every Interpretation of the court pro-
ceedings.
Regarding apparent conditions in the
sections be visited Mr.. Shipman thinks the
farmers are happy and prosperous. Corn
and cotton has been 'laid by" and the
honest tillers of the soil are enjoying a
brief rest from tn cir labors in the fields
during the spring and summer months
Excessive Iains have somewhat retarded
the progress of farm work and injured the
growth of crops, but it is not believed that
a very o ticeable shortage in the yield of
staple crops will be felt at han west time.
Labor is reported scarce and difficult to OBJ
tain at any price.
Mr.. Shipman suggests that the state il
going forward by leaps and bounds in the
matter of manufacturing industries. New
enterprises are spraying up in every sec
ton, and a large amount of capital is fluid
ing in North Carolina, a profitable field for
investment. The great cry is for more
labor in the factory as we'll as on the farm.
But where is it to come from is a question
! yet unsolved.
The blanks sent out by the Department
of Labor and Printing c)ntain this sug-
gestion: 81 would appreciate your views
on immigration and the class of immi-
grants most desirable in North Carolina. ,
BY this means it is sought to ascertain the
view of the people upon the question of
immigration. to the end thar the governor
and members of the General Assembly
may have all possible information regard =
ing this Important matter. Mr.. Shipman
says the preponderance of public senti-
ment is favorable to the better class OF
foreign labor, such as generally came from
England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany,
Switzerland and other countries of North
ern Europe. But strenuous objections are
offered by all to the lower classes, termed
''jail birds" and anarchists.
