THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVERS
OPPORTUNITY"

The Charlotte Observer on April
Sth said:
Evidently thinks the Richmond
News-Leader, the Republican par
~ in Virginia has fallen into the
keeping of men ambitious to make
1T not respectable but patriotic and
valuable. The State convention at
Lynchburg was an admirable body.
Our contemporary welcomes these
conditions, because it's Democracy is
of that stalwart kind which welcomes
straight fighting for distinct issues
on an open and fair field, and be-
cause the ideal political condition
for Virginia is to have two strong,
clean parties opposing each other on
clearly defined issues of principle and
policy both in Federal and State pol
itics.' We should like to submit
similar remarks upon the North Car
DINA Republican convention of this
year, but hardly expect the oppor-
tunity."
The Republican convention was
held in Greensboro on April the Goth.
The Observer has not said a word.

ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN
STATE CONVENTION.

We publish In another column an
interviewed from "a prominent Re-
publican" who was at the State Con-
vention. He says that the arguments
made by Senator Butler to postpone
the election of a State chairman and
the State Committee convinced the
convention that he was right, and
that II the delegates had not been
pledged that they would not have
elected Adams. He further calls at
tention to the fact that the delegates
rebuked Adams the very minute their
hands were not tied. by refusing to
let him name the State Executive
Committee, according to custom, but
voted by large majority for Sena-
tor Buffers motion to postpone the
election of the committee until the
State Convention meets to nominate
a candidate for Governor and other
State officers. This most important
and significant action taken by the
convention was suppressed by The
Daily Industrial News Adams and

GHOSTS OF THE PAST.

Some of Mr.. Craig's party men
asked him some very embarrassing
questions when he spoke in Charlotte
a few days ago. Among the ques-
lions propounded him, was, Why did
he vote for Blaine against Cleve-
land? Why did he write a certain
letter to Glen Williams Ca whiskey
man) in 1905? Why did he abuse
Cleveland and Carlisle in Charlotte
in 1896. Another question PROFOUND
ed to him was if he had not en-
dorsed local option as against prohi.
bition. Mr.. Craig did not answer
any of the questions to the satisfac-
ton of his party dissenters. Mr.
Craig probably thought matters were
bad enough as they are.

Charges Against a Durham Physician

SndESeS Against n 1uA DnhA ny SASA&Ahs
There Is a squabble and investi-
CATION on before the Durham Medical
Association, it being an investigation
of charges brought against DIR. r. A.
Moore by DIR. Joe Graham. The
charges are that Dr. Moore has been
unprofessional and unethical in his
practice The charges are being in
vestigated by the doctors and of
course the hearing is not public and
it will be some time before the find
ings of the board and the committee
will be known The board can eth
er reprimand the doctor, suspend
him from the association or expel
him, or can find that he is not guilty
as charged. From what can be
learned the bearing will be very
interesting fight before it is over and
the fight may finally go from here
to the State Medical Society. Both
sides of the controversy have friends
among the members of the associa-
ton and on this account there is to
be a rather lively fight.

JEFFERSON DEMOCRACY?

An exchange copies the following,
written by Thomas Jefferson:
THE way to have good and safe
government is not to trust it all to

distributing to every one exactly the
functions he is competent to perform.
Let the National Government be en-
trusted with the defense of the Ma

lations; the State government with
the civil rights, laws, police and adj

State generally; the counties with the

SHALL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
HEAD TOWARD VICTORY?

This important question must be
answered by the next State conven-
ton, and it must be answered not in
words but by the actions of the con-
vention.
There has never been a time in the
history Of the party when there were
so many voters who were tired of the
inconsistency and ineapacity of the
Democratic party and who want to
enter the ranks of the great progress
sive National Republican party than
now. And they will come by thou
sands and tens of thousands If we so
act as to encourage them to come.
But we can not fool them with words
If our actions should at the same
time belle our words. Even Adams,
the head Of the patronage machine,
who would have a chill IL he thought
a single Republican CONGRESSMAN
would be elected, and who would be
frightened nigh unto death If he
thought the State would go RepubH-
can. can and does prate as loud about
building up the party and carrying
the State as could any man who was
sincere. Even his own office holders
know better than any one else that
the last thing he wants Is Republi-
can victory In North Carolina. He
does not ask his appointees to be
loyal to the Republican party.-that
is, to use their influence and efforts
to build up the party,-but he ex-
poets them to be loyal to him (Ad-
ams) and to submit to him and assist
him in perpetuating his patronage
machine and in advancing his own
selfish interests. And every one OF
them understands that the power and
domination Of the personal patron
age machine would be lessened and
engendered by any party growth.
At the same time, the great mass
of Independent voters, as we'll as the
rank and file Of the party, under
stand perfectly the purpose of AID
ans and his machine In declaring
that they want the party to grow
and win a victory. They know that
it is a case of Satan attempting to do
his deadly work behind the livery OF
Heaven and by quoting Scripture.
For these reasons, as long as the
patronage machine is In control, not
only will the rank and file of the par
ty be discouraged and inactive, but
recruits will not come, for they know

Have You Planted a Plenty Of Corn.
(Southern Farm GaZette)

Have You Planted Plenty of Corn.
(Southern Farm Gazette.)
Messrs. Editors: 1t is growing
late in the season for farmers to
make much change in their plans
for the years crops, but there Is one
thing that / wish to impress upon
them, even If it is late. That is,
plant plenty of corn. You may have
prepared to plant some fields in cot
ton that should have been planted In
corn, and, il 80, and even though
you may have your land ready to
plant, just put in corn seed instead
of cotton seed, and this fall, when
you come to gather in your crops
you will not regret it.
Farm Stock Doesn't Thrive on Bought
Feed.
Unless the price of cotton very ma
terially advances, how do you expect
to feed your stock with the little
money you will get for your cotton?
don't mean that you will feed
them money, but ii you raise cotton
and sell it for money, you will use
the money to buy feed. and the feed
will come mighty slow. I don't like
that sort of feed Horses will not
fatten ON that sort and work a crop,
and it is no good for hogs; they just
will not thrive on it. The best corn
one feeds is that which he gets from
his own crib, and that was grown on
his own fields.
Here's Something You Can Sell for
Cash.
Or, IL you can not plant corn after
you see this, and it will hardly be
too late, you can plant or SOW peas.
Just think! Peas are selling for 100
per bushel. II you want something
to sell for cash, peas will fit your
case. Or better, make all the pea
hay you can in addition to the guam
tity you must have to SOW, and feed
the hay to young cattle and sell the
cattle for the money you must have,
and put the manure on the land to
make better corn.
How All Cotton is Bringing Ruin.
Yes, sir, Mr.. Cotton Farmer, you
must do something else besides raise
cotton. True you get some cash
for your cotton, but you are doing 1T
at the cost Of your land. I see It..
AS the Agent Of the farmers Coop
erative and Demonstration Work In

in the way OF impoverishing their
