Bryan and Hea rst at Feud.
Charlotte Observer


Charlotte Observer.
At Oklahoma City the other day
Mr.. Bryan, when asked about Mr..
Hearst's underground campaign for
delegates in the middle West, replied
that he understood Mr.. Hearst to be
making one fight inside the Demo-
cratic party and another outside. The
dispatch which gives this informa-
ton further states it as Mr.. Bryan's
opinion that Mr.. Hearst is making
ready to run as an independent cam
dldate. These are merely statements
OF what every one has for some time
understood to be facts in the politi-
cal situation, but, coming from Mr..
Bryan, they possess no little signif>
canoe. Hope. of Modifying Mr..
Hearst and inducing him to lay aside
his presidential aspirations for 1908
has evidently been abandoned. It
would also seem implied that should
Mr.. Hearst try upon the Democratic
convention those sandbag-
ging tactics which proved effective
with the New York State Democrats
the Nebraskan would join in waging
defensive warfare against him. The
year 1898 is likely to see some queer
developments, none of
which, unhappily, bode any good for
the Democratic party.

Graham County, in the extreme

a Very Light Sentence.

j. d. McAnulty was convicted of
manslaughter Thursday in Rowan
Superior Court for the killing of
Robert W. Owens, Keeper of the
County Pest-house, August End, and
was sentenced to four months in the
County Jail, allowing the Commits
sloners the privilege of hiring him
out. The Salisbury Water Commits
sion promptly agreed to pay $50 per
month for his services, and McAnulty
returned to his old position. There
seems to be two stories about the
killing. The first report stated that
McAnulty went to County Home
and insulted an inmate and was re-
monstrated with by keeper, whom
ne shot. Now McAnulty is practi.
cally free.

Congressman Theodore Burton, Of
Cleveland, Ohio, has decided 20 make
the race for mayor Of Cleveland
against Tom l.. Johnson, the present
mayor. IL was only at the urgent
request Of his Republican friends
that Congressman Burton finally de-
cided to make the race for mayor.
In national elections Cleveland 10
normally Republican by from 1000
to 10000 majority, but Mayor John
son, democrat, was elected mayor
two years ago by nearly 10000 ma
jority On account of his money and
the three cent car fare which he ad-
vocated. Congressman Burton, who
has been Chairman Of the Rivers
and Hsrbors Committee for years, L.
possibly the strongest candidate the
Republicans could have selected to
oppose Mayor Johnson. 1t was Bur-
ton who defeated johnson after the
latter had served two terms in Con-
gress. Newspaper reporters state
that President Roosevelt and other
prominent Republicans urged Mr..
Burton to make the race In Ohio
and elsewhere will assist him In his
fight, while friends of Johnson will
have Bryan speak In his behalf.
The race between Burton and John
son promises to be the most exciting
Of any city election to be held in
the United States this fall. Even
now some Of the Democrats of
Cleveland admit that Congressman
Burton has a chance to win.

Enemies of the Appalachian Forest.

Enemies of the Appalachian Forest.
Shelby Aurora.l
We are surprised to find that a
few prominent men In Western
North Carolina are fighting the pro-
posed Appalachian forest reserve at
a time when its establishment is al.
most a certainty. We can conceive
OF nothing that would be of more
practical value to the Appalachian
region of the South. In protecting
the forests 1t would at the same time
control the volume of water in our
streams and thereby protect our low
lands. The national government is
spending millions on irrigating the
ARD regions of the West, and yet
some of our politicians decline to
accept funds for needed improve
ments in the South. This spirit has
oeen shown several times in Con-
gress by Southern representatives
who voted against appropriations for
1ast mails in the South. Their op-
position has had much to do with
the cutting off of fast mails in the
South which causes our mails from
the North to be several hours later
Yet the Northern States still have
last mails and We, by declining such
service, have not a penny more in
our pockets.
Our politicians are often our worst
enemies. They see nothing greater
than self.interest.

CRIME STALKS ABROAD At noos-oaY

Asheville Is keeping pace with
Durham and Wilson In the matter
of homicidee. -GreenviI RI fiector.
The iate at which crimes are in
creasing iE this State is alarming.
Almost every day we read of two
or three hOmicides In this State, and
occasionally we read Of Iynchings
by mobs composed Of two or three
hundred people. we later read that
one friendless man of no prom inence
is sentenced to the penitentiary and
and the case against the other sew
eral hundred lychers is Withdrawn
given a clean bill Of health, as 1t
were.
In view Of these facts, and in
view Of the precedent set by IawIess
redshirters in 1913 and 1900, when
can we hope for a greater respect for
the laws of our State?
By the way where is Mr.. Aycock L?
In 1900 he said that ''under Fusion
rule lawlessness walked the State
like pestilence, crimes stalked
abroad at MONDAY, sleep lay down
with alarm, and the sound of the
pistol was more frequent than the
song of the knocking bird"
During Aycock's incumbency
crimes continued to increase in this
State and the number of crimes have
increased each year since. Many of
the crimes to which Aycock referred
under Fusion rule were perpetrated
by lawless redshirts who helped to
make him Governor.
We would like to hear from Edu-
cational Charlie on the record of
lawlessness in this Stale today.
