A NEW WHIM.

Newest of all the foolish fads is
the knee bracelet. 1t is worn only
by women of big cities who wish to
be known as members of the smart
est of the smart set, but there are
enough of such butterflies to make
the whim a fashion in certain cir
cles. The bracelet, since a band
worn on the arm is an armlet, might
be called a leglet, for it is worn close
under the knee 1t is an ornament
only. as it does not take the place
of a garter. being barely tight
down. The glittering circlet is hung
with tiny golden bells, which tinkle
with every movement. No woman
wearing one of them can expect to
pass through drawing room with
out being stared at, for, like the in
decorous old person of Danbury
Cross, she shall have music wherever
she goes, even though she has not
bells on her toes. The tinkle, tinkle,
tinkle of the tiny bells is like the
melody of fairy chimes, but it is aud
ible in any save the noisiest room.
And by the ringing of the bells when
the wearer walks or sits or arises or
even moves her feet ever so slightly
she is known as one of the ultra
ultra, the elected elect, the inner
most insiders.

MINING MoLYBDENITE
IN DEATH VALLEY

Down in the region of the Death
Valley, near the north end of that desc
late country in which nature has de-
posted much of her mineral treasure,
some of the great mines Of the future
are being slowly but surely develop
ed by men who have a thorough
knowledge of and abiding faith in that
section of the southwest. Following
the pioneers of forty years ago, who
mined for the precious metals when
but little was known east of the
Missouri river. Of this vast desert
country, they have brought to their
aid modern machinery and modern
methods, finding b%onanzas in minerals
that the remoteness of the district in
early days forbade marketing at q
profit.
North of Death Valley the inter

eminent arbitrarily separates Nevada
from California, follows the peaks of

1t requires organization and intel
lIgent and well-directed effort to win
victory even when all the elements
of success lie around you. But such
organization and such effort existed
only in certain localities and spots in
the State, and in such localities and
spots there were most phenomenal
gains. The same gains could have
been made in every locality in the

made all over the State Taft would

BRYAN AND TAMMANY.

Mr.. Bryan is apparently very sore
over losing the vote of New York
City in the recent election
Mr.. Murphy, the head of Tam
many Hall in New York, said that
Tammany did it's best for the Demo-
cratic National ticket. Mr.. Bryan,
in the last issue of his paper, asks
some very pointed questions about
Tammany and it's leadership. He in
Inmates that if that organization did
it's best, and could not carry the city
of New York, then Tammany needs
reforming; in other words, needs
new leadership.
Instead of a united Democracy for
the next fight, it appears that the
shattered party is getting more and
more disorganized. 1t seems that it is
hard for Mr.. Bryan to realize that
the voters preferred Republican pros
perity to a Democratic uncertainty.

NO OIL MONEY.

During the recent campaign the
Democratic papers charged that the
Standard Oil Trust favored Mr.. Taft
for President and was giving sup
port to his campaign fund, and just
before the election Mr.. Rockefeller,
the head of the Standard Oil, came
out in a signed statement deaclaring
for Mr.. Taft. Many of the Repub-
lican leaders stated at the time that
it was only Democratic trick to in
jure Mr. Tafts chances.
A few days ago Mr.. Sheldon, the
Treasurer of the Republican Cam
paign Committee, published list OF
the contributors to the campaign
fund and the name of the Standard
Oil or the name of any of it's officers
or agents did not appear among the
list.
If the Standard Oil Company
wanted to see Mr.. Taft elected it did
not show the fact in a substantial
way. But it will be remembered
that Haskell, the former Democratic
Treasurer, had been closely related
with the Standard Oil Company, anG
if any oil was poured on the trou
bred waters it was for the benefit O.
the Democratic nominee.

IRREGULARITIES IN NINTH Dis
TRICT.

A special from Greensboro to FRI
days Raleigh Evening Times stated
that Mr. John A. Smith, recent Re-
publican candidate for Congress in
the Ninth District, may contest the
election of Mr.. E. Yates Webb. his
Democratic opponent. Mr.. Smith
said he was investigating the al
legged irregularities on the part OF
the Democrats In certain counties In
his District. He said that the most
open acts of crookedness were in
certain townships in Yancy and Mad
ison counties. Mr. Smith alleges that
In one township the registrar left
the polling place, carrying of the
poll books and registration book.
which made 1t impossible to hold an
election In that township, which was
largely Republican. This was In
Madison County. and he states that
In Yancy County from two hundred
to two hundred and fifty persons
voted for his opponent who obtained
their poll tax receipt after May 1st.
Whether Mr.. Smith secures his seat
in Congress or not, the men guilty
of these irregularities should be
brought to justice.
The Democratic politicians who
during the campaign, were asking
Shall the people ruler" should now

1t Is a Democratic law that re
quires every person liable to a poll

The Vote in Maryland.

Buffalo Express
The Baltimore American says that
If the vote of Maryland had been
counted as cast, or as the voters in
tended to cast it, the State would
have given Taft 10000 plurality and
would have elected four Republican
Representatives in Congress. 1t be-
lieves that no less than $4,000 bal
lots were thrown out by Democratic
election judges and that nearly all of
these were Republican.
Maryland has a ballot law nomi-
nally intended to disfranchise the ig-
norant, but particularly intends to
disfranchise negroes and to facili-
tate false counting. It requires a
mark opposite the name of each can
didate and removes all party en-
blems. These are sound provisions
in themselves, but the purpose to
disfranchise is shown by the further
provision forbidding the distribution
of sample ballots for the guidance
of voters, and, worst of all, the law
does not apply uniformly, but only
in certain counties where the negro
population Is largest.
The right to vote should not de.
pend on education. But 1t Is not

The Caucasian has received a num-
Der of inquiries from some of its
readers in Sampson and other coun-
ties as to why news items about the
growth and success of the Republi-
can party in those counties are never
published in the Daily Industrial
News. We, of course, are not sure
that we can give the correct explana-
ton, but to suppress news from such
counties must have been one of
Adams methods for building up the
Daily Industrial News and making it
success; otherwise, it would not
have been done. Up to this hour, so
far as we have seen, the fact that
Sampson County increased it's major
ity from six hundred to eleven hun
dred this year has never been pub
lished in that paper, though we are
informed that the information was
specially sent directly to the paper
for publication. Indeed, it seems to
be veritable thorn in the side of
Chairman Adams that a number of
counties like Sampson should SO
greatly increase their Republican
majorities. He no doubt has a spe-
cial grievance against Sampson
County for increasing it's majority
but, besides, If a majority of the
counties of the State should go Re
publican, then Adams and his patron
age machine would be entirely out Of
business.
