The false impression is being wide
ly diffused that John o Sheath voted
for William H. Berry for State Treas
urer two years ago. AS d matter of
fact he did nothing of the kind. He
voted and worked for Plummer at
that election as he voted and work
cd with Plummer on nearly every
machine measure considered during
the legislative session of 1905.

The Campaign In Full Sway.
The Democratic campaign Is now
well under way and during the
next three weeks there will be lively
times throughout the State. Mr..
Harman has ceased to expect fav-
orable reply to his challenge to dis
cuss the Issues OF the campaign with
Mr.. Sheath in joint meetings. The
Republican managers don't want the
Issues of the campaign agitated
much. There Is danger in bringing
the facts into view and a Joint dis
cussion would have had that re-
suit. But Mr.. Harman and other
Democratic speakers will address the
people wherever 1t Is possible to
reach them and tell the facts as
they exist.
The trial of the capitol grafters
before the election would have set
tied the question of the election,
Just as a thorough exposure of the
crimes would have defeated the Re-
publican party last fall. Then every
Republican speaker denied that
there had been any grating and
now the press and orators Of that
faith insist that Republican oflcials
will punish the grafters. Then the
false statements were believed but
don't believe that the people are
so credulous now They know now
that Mr.. Berry told the truth then
and they understand that he is
equally accurate now when he de-
clares that the election OF John G..
Harman is essential to the compile
tion of the reforms which he has
begun.

Attempted Suicide.

A little before 2 o'clock this
morning. a young white man,
something under rs years of age,
was found lying on the sidewalk
in front of the union passenger
station unconscious and tightly
holding a small laudanum bottle.
No time was lost in getting him
to a hospital where two physi-
clans attended him. At noon to-
day he was pronounced out of
danger. The hospital officials
said his name was Edward j.

Massachusetts and has recently
been at Wilmington. In his

Pard0nS Refused and Granted.

The Governor refused to grant
a pardon to John Springs, who
was convicted a year ago in Lin
coin of manslaughter and sem
fenced to two years on the chain
gang in CASTOR. The Governor
said the man had a fair trial and
that a sentence of two years for
taking human life is, in his judg-
ment light enough. There was
no new testimony and no recon-
mendation by the Judge for Gle
mency. The Governor also re-
fuses to pardon Dolly Cline, who
last July was convicted in Swain

the rail road rate business is be-

rather that if politics were left
left out there would be little or
nothing done about it. We join

bear to cause the manner in
which the express company does
business to be investigated if it
would cause a change of their

THERE is much work to be
done on Durham county roads
and the coming winter will de-
monstrate the necessity of more
work in the spring, but it is sur
prising that after one section.has
secured good roads they give
themselves no concern about
whether the county builds or not.
1t seems that after they had
seen the advantages of good
roads they would be enthusiastic
in seeing their neighbor in an
other section have the same ad-
vantage, but such is not the
case.
