"Some thought the Governor
should call the legislature back to
lick the passenger railroad calf over
again, but he, the Governor, thinks
he will very likely not do it, or
words to that terminus. He got
enough of the legislature when the

It may be that the Governor never
thought Of calling the legislature in
extra session to pass a new rate
bill, but we have heard some men
who are we'll up in politics say that
there Is reason to believe that the
Governor thought of calling an extra
session of the legislature to pass a
new rate bill, but that some of the
democratic leaders of the News and
Observer persuasion pleaded with
the Governor not to call the extra
session.
However the case may be, it is
significant that Gov. Glenn waited
over a week before denying the re-
port that he would call the legisla-
ture in extra session to pass 24 cent
rate law.

It is surprisingly strange that
some people, who are conservative

tolerant on political matters, but
such people usually know nothing
Of the political issues upon which
parties disagree, or they study on
one side only.
A lady in our town some days
ago in talking with a friend referred
to certain gentleman thus: "He's
a nice man and good fellow, but
he's Republican. That spoils it
ALL" While the gentleman referred
to would not care snap for the re-
mark, yet it is strange that sensible
people will be so intolerant on mat
tiers about which they know moth.
ing. "But he's Republican, -
Why not say 'a Methodist" or s'a
Baptist" or "a Presbyterian" as
the case may be. Just as much rea-
son in this. That lady did not know
that by being Republican he is in
harmony with at least two-thirds of
the people of the United States,
among whom are the leading men
of the nation, whether in the politi.
Cal or in the business world. She did
not know that much, If not all, OF
the prosperity which she enjoys lie
due to Republican administration
of this government. That we have
the greatest country under the sun,
and that it's marvellous progress dur
ing the last half century is due to
Republican policies, the cardinal
principles of which are protection
to American industries, strong cen.
trail government, and sound money.
The day has been in North Caro-
lima when men did not have the
moral courage to defend their prin-
ciples in the face Of political intol-
erance but, fortunately for the coun-
try, that day has passed. Thought
full men of all parties now consider
that the best government is found
when there are too strong political
parties to hold each other in check,
lest the strong Cypress the weak.
Such fiippant remarks as those re.
ferred to above have no place in O

Congressman W W. Kitehin, q
democratic candidate for Governor,
opened his eampaign In Union
County Saturday. The papers state
that only about 200 people were
present 10 hear the candidate tell
how much he had done for the dear
people and how much more should
be done If he IL only elected Gov
ernor. However, the Charlotte Oh
server, democratic. doesn't think
much Of Mr. Kitehin's speech. In
referring to Mr. Kitchin's speech the
Observer sBys:
"The speech OF Congressman w.
w. Kitchin Ia Union County yester'
day would have been more ad-
mIrable IL il had been less demagogi'
cal and more accurate"
1t Is presumed that the Charlotte
Observer will support Locke Crsige,
of Asheville, another aspirant for
the position. Mr.. Ashley Horne, OF
Clayton, is another candidate and
has received some very flattering
notices in the News and Observer
and other papers, but the News and
Observer will not support MIR. Horne
in his race for the nomination. Mr..
Horne is not a wire-working poll
tician and they are afraid they could
not use him if he were elected. The
News and Observer will doubtless
support Kitchin In the race. They
belong to the radical wing of the
party.
1t is almost too early to predict
who will win in the race for the
nomination, but. it is not too early
to predict that the radicals will win
or attempt to split the party. Go

WHY NOT RECEIVERS FOR TRUSTS AS
WELL AS FOR BANKS ?

We are surprised to see in lead
ing editorial in The Charlotte OBJ
server the following:
"RoOseveltian receiverships of the
trusts bears an unpleasant resem-
blance to Socialist ownership of the
trusts"
The United States appoints re-
ceivers for banks that violate the
law. Is that Socialistic? Then why
not have receivers to take charge OF
trusts, which are violating the law,
for the same reason? 1t seems tC
THE CAUCASIAN that the Receiver
ship plan will at once go to the root
of the whole trouble. 1t will GER
tainly be more effective to give the
public relief than imposing fines
on the trusts, or even putting the
heads of the trusts in Jail. Why
not try it, anyway?

Bite.


Bite.
Reidsville, N. g., July 1.-THE
many friends of Mr.. Thomas N.
Terry throughout the State will
learn with deep regret of his unfor-
tunate condition. About a year ago,
while travelling in Arkansas, he was
bitten on the head by tarantula, q
very poisonous spider found in the
Southwest. Mr.. Terry suffered Sc.
verely from the bite and came home
to spend several weeks undergoing
treatment. He apparently recovered
from the effects Of the sting and re-
sumed his duties. He returned home
last winter, having found it neces-
sary to resign his position, and has
never felt right since.
Mr.. Terry's mind has become af-
fected. During the past few days he
began to show evidences Of VIC
lence and his family decided to send
him to the asylum at Morganton.
He was carried there by Mr.. j. E.
Lambeth.
Mr.. Terry's condition is pitiful
and is one of the saddest cases COM
ing under our observation.

Il
EDITOR CAUCASIAN 81 write TO
express my surprise and dissppoint-
ment at Judge Adams in making
the attack on Senator Butler that he
did. | am at loss TO understa nd
what Dir. Adams means, and what
he hopes to accomp lish by abusing
and attempting TO read men out Of
the party. Mr.. Adams is now the
head of the Republican organization
of the State. AS the head of the
party, does he want the party to
grow larger or smaller? If he wants
it 20 grow larger, then he wants to
try to bring men into the party. If
he does not want q man like Marion
Butler in the party, then he does not
want me in the party, and he does
not want thousands upon thousands
Of Others like me, who left the
Democratic party with Mr.. Butler,
and who went with him into the
Republican party, and who want to
see the Democratic party beaten and
the Republican party successful.
1t is natural to see Josephus Dan
iels and Senator Simmons and DEM
ocratic politicians of that kind abuse
Senator Butler. for they have good
reasons for doing 80. 1t was under
his leadership that the Democrats
were for the first time beaten in
1894, and they fear him now as they
do no other man in the State; and
it seems to me that for the very
reasons that they fear him and abuse
him, every sincere and true Repub
lican should praise him and uphold
his hand5.
Again, want to ask, does Mr..
Adams want to beat the Democratic
party and make North Carolina Re
publican? If he does, would not he
be spending his time and effort in
trying to encourage men not only to
come into the party, but to stay in
the party and be welcomed after
they came? His course is exceed
ingly strange to me. Everybody
will admit, even the bitterest Demo
cratic enemy that Mr.. Butler has In
the State, that he is not only a wise
political adviser, to say the least,
but that he has no superior if any
equal as stump speaker in North
Carolina. 1t would seem that Mr..
Adams would welcome the assistance
of such men in the ranks of the party
If Mr.. Butler was advertised to
speak in my County tomorrow, he
could get larger crowd to hear him
than Judge Adams could. Is this
the reason that Mr.. Adams wants to
read him out Of the party?
In conclusion, all have to say is
that the Republican organization
will have to change its course, if ii
endorses Mr.. Adams conduct, or il
will find itself with fewer votes at
the next election than it had at the
last. Respectfully,
THOMAS MEADES.

Under the recent assessment in
this State the valuation of prop
erty has been greatly increased, in
some instances over one hundred
per cent. This will greatly increase
the amount of taxes that will be
paid to the State and Counties, which
fact has caused an exchange to ask,
"What will the State do with this
extra money ?"
If the next legislature should be
democratic they can dispense with
any surplus money that chances to
be in the treasury, and issue bonds
besides. Heretofore they have used
q good deal of the available cash in
increasing salaries of democratic
officials and would then have to is.

MOORE FOR WAREHOUSES;

He is in Favor of Storing Cotton II
Prices are Not Mould
Not Sell Before November Is.
Dunn, n. c., July 13.-President
G. @. Moore. of the North Carolina
Cotton Association, was here yester-
day in the interest of the warehouse
holding scheme, which is being SO
vigorously pushed by the Cotton
Association in every part of the cot.
ton belt.
The plan is to organize local COM
panies at every cotton-buying point
in the cotton States. These compa-
MES with paid-up capital of say,
So per share, shares equal to number
of bales produced in the community
governed by local directors, who will
employ q buyer to watch the mark
citing of cotton. Whenever the mar.
ket is under the minimum price OF
the Cotton Association, the Conn
pany's buyers will buy and store In
the local warehouse, to be sold when
the price is above the minimum.
The sole object of this movement
is to insure to the South the COM
mercial value of cotton.
Mr.. Moore says farmers, merchants
and bankers are active in forming
these local companies. He thinks ii
only question of time and infor.
nation until there will be local
warehouse company at every cotton
buying point in North Carolina.
Mr.. Moore says the association
workers in other States are meeting
with marked success in this move
ment.
In answer to questions as to crop
prospects, Mr.. Moore said the crop
in North Carolina is one month late,
the stand the poorest he has ever
known, the crop clean and well cul-
tivated.
When asked what would be the
associations minimum price, Mr..
Moore said he could only speak for
himself, as he had not consulted the
other members of the committee.
He said: 81 shall advocate twelve
cents as minimum. I shall adj
wise issuing letter in which will
be given facts that the mills of
Europe have sold their product for
future months at prices that will
permit their paying eighteen to
twenty cents per pound for cotton,
and give the mills big margin for
manufacturing.
81 would advise farmers and mer-
chants to sell no cotton until after
November 10, and then only small
lots at time"
