that Mr.. Ashley Horne is opposed to
the repeal of the crop lien law, and if

from the statute OF books Mr.. Horne

color to the charge, false hough it be,

A New Day for North Carolina.
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
We have had important electionsin
North Carolina to settle vital ques-
tons, but the most important in the
life of this generation settled the
matter of suffrage and made North
Carolina prohibition State When
the future historian comes to write
the history of North Carolina he
will show that the passage OF the
suffrage amendment opened the way
for the educational revival and the
spread of temperance which did more
for the progress and uplift OF the peo-
pie than anything in the entire
history of the State. III the suffrage
amendment had been defeated the
mighty impetus to education that
has distinguished this decade would
have been wanting, and the driving
out OF the saloons and the stills
would have been left for the next
generation. AS it is, the door was
opened to putting North Carolina
on higher plane and the people OF
this generation have been given the
high privilege of bequeathing to their
children Il State free from the curse
of the manufacture and sale OF intOx-
icating liquors. The sweeping vic
tory yesterday is all that could be
desired. Of course every temperance
man would have been glad to have
seen his county give majority fer
State prohibition but that was too
much to have expected, and SO every
temperance man has the right to feel
that the victory is full, complete,
ample. The majority is SO large as
to make the victory decisive.
The experience of those counties in
North Carolina that for a long term
OF years has given prohibition fair
trial has shown that under the reign
of prohibition conditions have i'm
proved SO much in every way that
yesterday the majOrities in those
counties, such as Robson in the
East and Yancey in the West, were so
large as to show the entire satisfac-
ton of the people with the working
of prohibition. What these counties
have found in their experience the
whole State will find in it's larger ex-
perience after q fair trial OF the new
law that goes into effect on the first
day OF January.
The campaign has been educational
and will have lasting results for good
in the lives of the people. 1t has
been waged on high plane, with no
appeal except to the conscience and
the reason of the people, with no ref
erence to politics and parties, and
time will show all the good men who
yesterday voted against State Pro
hibtion that it v" prove a lasting
blessing to North Carolina. The
men who have led the fight, from
Chairman John A. Oates and his
associates down to the smallest child
who has marched in the procession,
deserve the lasting thanks of all who
are working for the progress and
welfare OF this good commonwealth.

Senator Simmons Letter.

Charlotte Evening Chronicle
The Chronicle yesterday printed O
letter from Senator Simmons to Mr..
Cameron Morrison, of this city, in
which the Senator gave his reasons
for his support of Locke Craig for
Governor. The letter was called
forth by charges that have been
made with a more or less degree of
recklessness, that Mr.. Simmons is be-
hind deal through which he and
some OF his friends expect to profit in
the event of Craig's election. The
letter is sufficient to put a quietus
upon such, and the Chronicle, al
though not for Mr.. Simmons man,
gave publicity to it with pleasure-as
any fair-minded newspaper would
have done-and if it has succeeded in
throwing confusion upon the Sena-
tors political enemies, it will con-
slider that it has struck a lick in the
cause of justice and fair play. One
of the ugly features of the present
campaign is the undue amount of
mean charges INDUCED in, and it is
a pleasure to reflect that not the
smallest piece of work of this kind
can be laid at the door of the friends
and supporters of Ashley Horne.

Remembered MIR. Cleveland.
Statesvile Landmark, May 10Th.

oUdUeStlie May 1CUu
Fx-President Cleveland was ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt a
member OF the conference of Govern
ors, held in Washington last week,
but the Old Man is confined to a sick
bed and could not attend. He was
not forgotten, however, for no less a
parsonage than Hon. W. J. Bryan,
also a member of the conference by
appointment, offered a resolution of
sympathy for Mr. Cleveland. The
press report has this account of the
incinent:
1t was indeed a unique scene OF
determination this [ friday morning
when the assembled Governors of
the States wildly cheered the silver
tongued exponent of the radical wing
of the Democracy as.heIoffered res
olution in honor of the strongest
exponent of the conservative wing of
that party, and on top of this the
Republican President declaring the
resolution adopted by reclamation.
1t was toward the adjournment of
the conference that Mr.. Bryan arose
and, addressing the conference, said !:
81 move the adoption of the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, that this conference
records it's deep regret that ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland is prevented by sick
ness from participating in this
historic meeting, and that in extend
ing to him a cordial greeting it
expresses a sincere wish for his
speedy recovery"
Some one in the gathering second
ed the motion. President Roosevelt
jumped up with gravel in hand and
Immediately declared: "The resolu-
tion offered by Mr.. Bryan is before
you, and if there is no objection l
will declare it adopted by acclama-
ton"
The action of the President was
cheered and app1auded. Before in
Producing the resolution it had been
agreed between Mr.. Bryan and the
President that just prior to adjourn
ment the resolution should be offered
by the Nebraskan.
in his speech before the conference
which was declared to be one of the
events of the meeting, Gov Glenn
referred to Mr.. Cleveland as Zone of
the greatest sages and statesmen of
these United States" Mr. Cleveland
will probably never be well man
again. In the last fifteen years he
has been the object of much unjust
criticism. In the past few years,
however, there has been a change,
an evident disposition to deal Justly
by him, and only a few now speak
unkindly of him. Gov. Glenn and
Mr.. Bryan have not always spoken
kindly of the ex-President and their
action in the conference doubtless
gave him much pleasure. The con-
ference honored itself in adopting
the resolution with such evident
heartiness and it is to Mr.. Bryan s
credit that he introduced it.
