loose from zoology, the ethical view

the heights.

Citizen of Nash Aroused, Finds Negro
in House and Kills Him.

Spring Hope, N. c., Nov. 7.--Visi-
tors from ROCKY Mounty today bring
the news of the total undoing of
a burglar at that place last night
Some time in the night Mr. Robert
Viverette, prominent contractor of
that place, was aroused from his
sleep by some one prowling around
in his house. He got his pistol and
gave chase. The burglar who hap
pened to be a negro, ran out of the
house, and Mr.. Vivette followed. He
chased him around the house, and
when the negro stopped as if to go
under the house, the white man open
ed fire with the result that the burg
lar was killed On examination it
was found that the negro wore a
pair of pants that were stolen a few
nights since from the home of the
chief of police of Rocky Mount.

For the Caucasian.

For the Caucasian.
The 3rd of November has come and
gone, and the last lingering hope of
the fossil Democracy died with the
going down of the sun. It is sad to
witness the demise of a once great
power, but the die is cast, the edict
of ''VoX populi" has gone forth CIV

us lift our hearts to God in deepest
gratitude for so great blessing.

gogues and tricksters has once again
been brought to grief by the ballots
of free and liberty-loving people.

asserted his right to vote according

and buried beyond resurrection the

of this mighty and justice-loving re-
public.

JUDGE LANDS REVERSED.
United State Circuit Court Reverses
His Decision Against the STANDARD
Oil COMPANY

Chicago, Nov. 10.-In decision
in which the attorneys for the United
States Government are scored sar-
castically for ignorance of legal
terms, the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals to-day denied the
petition for a re-hearing of the APP
peal of the case in which the Stand
ard Oil Company was fined 29,400.-
900, for rebating.
The next step in the proceedings
will be taken by the Government.
Attorney General Bonaparte will be
appealed to apply for writ of GER
tori in the United States Supreme
Court in order that the order deny
ing the appeal may be reviewed
there.
In the decision handed down to-
day by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, Judge Lands was
reversed.
AS the case now stands, the de-
cision of the court of appeals multi,
fies the decision of Judge Lands and
the work of the District Attorney
unless an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court be taken.
1t is almost certain that an appea

THE WAY TO WIN TWO YEARS
FROM NOW.

The man who, unfortunately for
the party, is now chairman of the
Republican State Executive Commit
tee, has published an interview say
Ing that he would not be a candidate
for chairman again. This is the best,
II not the only advantageous thing
that he has ever done for the Repub-
lican party in the State. The State
would have gone Republican this year
II 1t had had competent and effective
leadership. The great gains that were
made were made not as the result of
the efforts of the State chairman, but
in spite of him. What Adams should
do is to resign at once. The time
to begin the fight to win n Republi-
can victory at the next election is
now. II Adams would get out OF
the way and there should be elected
at once man not only competent to
organize and lead the fight forvictory
but man who wanted to win and
one who would give sufficient time
and effort to accomplish success, Their
victory would lie before us as a Ger.

POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE

The following from Fridays Char

thought for some OF the Democratic
politicians and newspapers in North
Carolina. The Observer says:
How much the abuse OF respect
able Republicans contributed to the
Democratic slump in North Carolina

knows; but II Is certain that vulgar
vituperation OF men like Elwood Cox
and John Morehead, who are native
here. whom the people know and who
have a stake in the State, must in

INDUCES in it,"
The result of Tuesdays election
shows that the voters in the South
have decided to throw OFF their politi-
cal bondage and hereafter vote as
they please. 1t is sign that We are
glad TO see, because 1t means clean
politics and better government in
our dear old Southland. The Repub-
lican ticket in this State was com
posed OF just as good men as was the
Democratic ticket, yet some of the
Democratic papers and Democratic
politicians tried to make the voters
believe that no decent white man
could vote the Republican ticket and
maintain his responsibility. But the
voters in the State showed that they
did not believe such tommyrot. AS
proof the Republicans elected three

but the same independence wa.

there was an increased Republican
vote in every Southern State. Ever

The result means that the tim

That Southern vote, which. in tn
firm belief, wrenched itself away fror

1T means that the South is n
