CAMPAIGN
OPENED
REPUBLICAN, JIM CROW MEET.
ING HELD AT WEIGH.

Welch. Sept. 30.-The RepubIi-
can campaign at welch opened las.
night with 1Os white men present
and seven white ladies. A feature
of the meeting was the Tim Crow"
tactics employed by the white Re-
publicans. 1t was really pitiful to
see Attorney Arthur rFroe. gen.
tleman Of color, and his black COM
panion from Ohio, get the cold
shoulder when they endeayored 20
get seat inside the bar where thu
white men were stated with their
wives. 49, ~
Congressman Hughes spoke
about ten minutes, reviewing his
record in congress, which consist
ed wholly of getting appropriations
for his district. including IA pri-
vate pension bills. He made this
characteristic statement: :"Colored
men OF Mcdowell county. we are de-
pending on You to RON up Repub-
lican majority" He can hardly fail
to know that the white will not do
1t. He failed to mention the "Jim
Crow" law. his relation to Ralph
White, the Crumpacker resolution,
etc.
Col. Fairless' speech was abso-
lutely harmless. It consisted prin-
cipally of stories, conspicuously
avoiding issues of the present cam
paign.
All the enthusiasm manifested
was furnished by the negro band
and the Jim Crow" crowd in the
rear OF the house. And their "yes
sahs" came at the most inopportune
moments. turning the sentiment Of
he poetry which Col. Fairless was
wont to quote into rldicule, inso-
much that the speaker was COM
p5lled to ask them to withhold their
pent up enthusiasm and expend 1t
on election day.
The Republican ticket lost sever
al votes-it is not known how often
he had registered-by the death of
a negro gambler at McClaren.

SHELDON NEXT
REPUBLICAN TREASURER TO BE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES WILL
ACT AS SOON AS THE DEMO
Gratis OPEN UP ON HIM.

) Washington, Sept. 30.-Among
men in position to learn what Pres.
ldent Roosevelt has been saying to
members Of the cabinet the impress
sion prevails that If the Democratic
orators begin showing Treasurer
Sheldon's connection with the trusts
he will order his decapitation. But
at present there is no intention to
force him out Of the place. He is
the only man in the Republican or
sanization supposed to be capable
Of getting money from the inter
ests."
The Rooseveltian view of the
matter is said to that so long as
the Democrats do not attack him
with vigor the good ne can do In
the way of collecting funds will
more than Offset the harm that may
result from the knowledge that he
rs a director in score OF big corpo-
rations in the trust class.
Another fact in favor of Shell
don's retention Is that he is the
selection OF William Nelson Crom-
well, who is Taft's friend and was
his legal adviser in all things per-
tanning to The Panama Canal In a
sense Sheldon is therefore Taft's
man, and although the president
has put Taft in secondary posi-
slon, there is belief that Taft
would resent any distatron from
the White House looking to the
elimination OF the CEOmwellian in
fuence as typifed by Sheldon.

course the merchants could have
= bargain day and offer special IN
dncements to purchasers ON 4 GER,
tain day, but there would he Il big
crowd in town and something in.
in the way of amusement should
be pulled off. 4 properly organ
lied commercial club could handle
this nicely, much better than
'scomnittee : which nearly always
fails to make good. Beach is the
biggest business center in this Sec
ton of the country and there is no
reason why We should not get up
a big bargain day and festival
some time this fall, little later
on when the farmers have their
crops taken care Of. Every bust
ness man in Beach could make 4
special discount on all goods, and
in addition .; number of prizes
could be given away free. This
would give the merchants a good
chance to demonstrate the attrac-
tons Of Beach as a trading point
and at the same time give the
country people fitting holiday.

A City Hall

What is the matter with tile
Beach Commercial Club.
Has it died a natural death! One
might say that in Beach, where
everyone is SO public spirited and
so interested in the town 'sgrowth,
that commercial. club is not
needed. But this is mistake.
Beach is town wherein a good
commercial club could do wond-
ers. At present the town is badly
in need of a hall of some kind.
The old hall, which the town has
outgrown, has been rented for
school purposes and this leaves
Beach without public meeting
place Of any kind, and it is now
up to the citizens of the town to
do something toward getting a
public hall. 1t would be a pay
ing investment toorganize a stock
company and there are plenty who
are willing to invest money in
this direction. All it needs is 4
little pushing, ana if We had a
live commercial club to do that
pushing We would soon have 4
hall. Lets get together.
