neering corps. At the close OF the

HOW TO MAKE NORTH CAROLINA

Progressive Men
To Editor Of The Caucasian.

To Editor Of The Caucasian.
Como. -. G. Dec. IL. 1905.
Dear Sir:-In your last issue Of
The Caucasian see . letter from
Mr.. Theo. +. Duncan that so fully
voices my own sentiments that | am
constrained I'd express my apprecia-
ton through your columns. The
conditions that he says exist In Union
are practically the same that keep
the party small In most Eastern
counties.
In this county We had no help
from the State organization. but a
few of us did all we could on our
own hook. We were not even given
a single speaker by the State Com
mittee. Our county chairman. Mr.
j. S. Mitchell. was fortunate. how
ever. in securing Senator Butler TO
speak for Us once at Ahoskie just a
few days before the election I be
lieve IL We had been able to have
had that speech in each township in
the county we would have carried
the county. AS it was. we made
wonderful gains, and while the coun-
ty Is still largely Democratic. a
great many Of them are not enthusi-
astic In the matter.
The truth is, the people are be-
ginning to think some for them
selves, and while 1t Is hard for a
man who was raised on Democratic
milk and has had Democratic prin-
ciples instilled into him from his in
fancy, to break from the old party
name, yet many of them are realiz-
ing that they have been following
phantom, and all they need now
is for the Republican party to do its
part and remove the Objectionable
features in the party in this State
The most serious obstacle in this
State is the present patronage ma
chine, composed largely of men oil
carpet-bag and reconstruction fame
and as long as the party is domi-
mated by this class of Republicans
the opposite party. for they cannot
recognize in these leaders the pro,
gressive, conservative Republican
party of to-day, but only remember
the old radical party of the past, and
| will ever refuse to follow such lead
ership, regardless of consequences.
But if those in authority will see
| and remedy these conditions, and
place the leadership of the party in
| the hands of able and progressive
| men, who know the beat of an hon
est heart, thousands who have beer
wavering between the love for the
Democratic party and the love fol
| the general welfare of their coun
try, will come across and join hear
and hand under the standard of {
new Republican party in North Car
DINA.
This done, and North Carolina
| will be one of the first of the South
ern States to throw off the bondage
of political slavery, by which she
has been bound in the past, ant
| will resume the place she occupied
| before the war, under the party thai
stands for progress, prosperity and
success.
Yours truly,
JAMES w. GRAHAM.

State Treasurer's Report to Governor
Shows That Disbursements for Last
Two Years Exceed Receipts by

Obligations Exceeding it by Nearly
100000.
State Treasurer B. R. Lacy has
completed his report for 1907 and

there would be deficit of s59,
$1,000
The net receipts for two years, less
the balance brought over from 1906,
amounts to $5,469,73297. The dis
bursements for the two years have
been $5,87S,77739, an excess over
receipts of s409.O44.42.
The State Treasurer says that the
last Legislature misjudged the
amount of taxes that would be raised
from the re-assessment of taxes pro-
vided for by the Legislature, and that
this caused the deficit.
He has found it necessary to Dor
row $250.000. This is secured from
the National Park Bank of New York
City, making the second loan secured
from that bank, showing that great
financial institutions faith in this

The evidence was not sufficient to
hold in the face of the alibi that the
defendant established. This leaves
the Holt murder as dark as it was the

The discharge of Barbee leaves the
