Warrenton, n. c., Aug. 26, 1908.
Mr.. w. III. Twine, Muskogee, Okla.
Sir: / see by public press of your
state that the Republicans have nom
mated Judge G. A. Cook. recently
citizen of this county and state,
for the Legislature. Allow me to
say in behalf of Judge Cook, that
he is clean, straight, high-toped
gentleman in every particular.
His word is to be taken by every
one that knows him. There is not
Democrat in North Carolina but
doesn't believe what | say about
him in this respect.
In fact Judge Cook belongs to the
very highest type of the educated
Southern gentleman who would not
stoop to low, dirty political tricks,
simply to get your vote.
He is man who says yes or no.
and means what he says, no more
and no less. Judge Cook hase'nt
an enemy anywhere, for every body
here without regard to party or
race love and respect him. He Is
the same after the election as be-
fore it, and will not turn or bow to
crooked things to best his opponent.
We all believe out here that he Is
one of the greatest and best lawyers
living, and will stop praying, be-
lieve, to resent an insult, in fact,
no one bothers him who knows him
any way.
Hoping that your ticket will win.
] am very respectfully.

followed in his train, and then the
other notables in the order of
their rank. In and among the
Cossacks files the imperial pro-
cession took it's way, and there
was not man of all the Cossacks
who could not say when the pro-
cession was over that the car
and czarevitch in their royal
raiment had brushed his muddy
clothes and that he had breathed
in their imperial breath. Then
the supporting grand dukes and
the throngs of officers fell back,
leaving the car and the smiling
child alone in front of the regi-
ment.
The car, holding his boy
proudly on his left arm, drew his
sword, and, raising his voice until
it filled the great riding school as
no single voice had done before
that day, said: "Cossacks of the
Don and the Dnieper, Cossacks
of the Volga and the Ural, Cos
sacks of the Amur and Ussuri, to-
day l commit to your care my
God-given son Alexis, your lead
er in peace or war, as God de-
crees."
"Cheers for the grand hetman,"
shouted the frantic little colonel,
and again the riding school re-
echoed with the Russian cheer.
This time the car smiled and
smiled, and did not say his Cos
sacks nay. Only the grand het-
man grew restless, and sliding
down his imperial fathers leg
with the grace of a born lamp
lighter flew over the tanbark
arena to where his mother sat,
and soon he was telling her all
about it, the grand hetman, a
saucy, m1schlevous child, and the
beautiful, though somewhat worn
woman who listened to his prattle
with tears in her eyes.
81 was glad that the hetman
deserted his father and the nota-
bles and flew to his mother, be-
cause they made a charming pic
ture, and because his swift, deer
like flight across the riding school
gives an opportunity to deny
with authority the stock revolt
tionary story to the effect that
though the heir to the throne is
beautiful as any prince charming,
he is paralyzed from the waist
down, and cannot move step.

IT'S fair in the spring-time, Mary,
When the bloom is on the spray,

inch, dip out ahead of her. About
five hundred yards from the start
was bunch of American boats
crowded with yelling lunatics,
and as 1 approached them | spoke
a word to the crew, signaled the
stroke to rise to forty, and before
the Frenchman knew what had
happened to him he had Our wash,
and, barring accidents, the race
was won. Then we settled down
to Our long, swinging, thirty-two
strokes, which were to last the
rest of the distance. The French
crew began yelling when we pass
ed them, and I believe they kept
it up to the finish.
1t struck me as about the worst
use I had ever known a racing
crew to put their lungs to, but it
pleased me immensely to have
them do it. At the turning buoy
we were thirty seconds ahead,
and on the pull we gained one
minute. Crossing the finish line,
I tossed oars for a second as the
gun flashed, and then pulled to
the ship at the same racing speed.
AS I shot alongside, the tackles
were hooked and the boat run up
to the davits, crew and all. All
hands tumbled out on deck, and
when the French barge crossed
the line Our boat was quietly
hanging at the davits, as if moth
ing had happened. 1t was only
a boat race, it is true, but it was
a grand one, and we won it.

after the car had returned to
the loge the empress came to the
rail and handed over it their son,
the long prayed for heir, the little
Alexis, who came to bless the pal
ace, by the favor of St. Seraphim.
The boy was all clothed in white
furs, I thought, though the court
newsman, who should know, said
his costume was made of swans
down and ostrich feathers. All
his pretty curls were combed out
and the little Alexis wore his hair
parted in the middle and brushed
out straight, as is the ancient
Muscovite custom. The car
seated his little son comfortably
upon his left arm, and the process
sion formed. First came the
swingers of incense and the
priests and bishops, who swing
incense, too. Then the car and
his beautiful boy, with his dark
eyes glistening with excitement.

Fairmont has bonded Indebted
ness OF over three hundred thousand
dollars and floating debtor nearly
one hundred thousand dollars That
city's indebtedness reaches beyond
-four hundred thousand dollars,
The bonded Indebtedness OF
ciarksburg is but $4,000. according
to figures furnished BY the city clerk.
at the kilograms request. and the
floating indebtedness Of the city but
about s21 900.
Every voter should note the differ
ence. Fairmont has three and one
half times the bonded indebtedness
Clarksburg has. Fairmont has over
four and a half times as much float
ing Indebtedness as Clarksburg has.
/ At Fairmont the city requires the
property owners to lay and keep in
repair all sidewalks: clarksburg
does not make such requirement
The city council Of Fairmont paves
but one.third of the streets paved
and the property owners are requir-
ed to pave two-thirds. Here the
property owners are not required To-
pave any part of a street, and except
In few instances. where 1t was yolun-
tarily offered. the property owners
have never paid for any part of the
paving, except In general taxation.
Yet with this vast difference Fair
mont's total Indebtedness is nearly
four times that of clarksburg's. The
down-river city has no more paving
than clarksburg and its water works
service is said not to be any better
than Clarksburg's considering the
fact that the down-riyer city is nat
urally much more highly favored as
to an abundance Of water.
1t is a well known fact that while
Fairmont is a progressive city, yet
Clarksburg does not fall below in
that respect. Then, how is it that
clarksburg is a proud equal or. per-
haps, proud superior? The ans
wer must be that this city has been
careful and economical and has saw
ed the people money compared with
Fairmont.
The comparison with not only
Fairmont but other cities in the state
is most favorable to clarksburg and
is convincing argument against the
clap-trap some indulge themselves in
for political purposes, and empha-
sizes the fact that the city govern
ment is not extravagant and reckless
with the public funds.
The subject is one Of interest and
in every comparison, we venture to
say, ciarksburg stands out promin-
emily as the one city in the state gov
erned at the lowest cost and expense
to the taxpayers.

BY All Means Instruct.

AS an exchange says "uninstruct-
ed'' sounds good. but this is not the
time to give way to pleasant sound.
Issues are at stake and men should
be. elected to office who represent
and advocate those issues. To elect
such men, they must first be nomi-
mated. For instance in the case of
William H. Taft for president. He
more truly represents the Roosevelt
policies than any of the men seeking
the nomination, and to elect him
president, he must first be nominated.
To guarantee his nomination, the
people are doing well to see to it that
their delegates are instructed. On
this subject an exchange says:
The idea of an 'unlnstructed dele
cation is quite attractive and very
good for ordinary occasions, but
when great issues are before the peo-
pie. and the lines are pretty closely
drawn, is no time for gumshoe poll
tics. 1t does not become the gravity
of the occasion to have men slipping
about and hiding around SO no one
can find them.
"out in Massachusetts, the idea
seems to prevail that 1t is not neces-
sary for the people to know how the
delegation is going to vote. The
mass of opinion is in favor of Roose-
velt's ideas of corporate responsible
ity. and yet Senator Crane pro-
poses TO send delegation to che ma
tional Republican convention which
may prove lukewarm upon this prop
osition.
Senator Crane is very amiable
and non-committal gentleman him
self, so he wants everybody else to he
that way. But this is no time for
negative importance. To be less
than emphatic now is to weaken a
cause.
$50, in that state, the preponderat-
ing sentiment is trying to express it.
self in defiance of the gpmshoe style
of running politics. Senator Crane
has great influence. If 1t was not
for him Massachusetts would send a
solid delegation for Taft. 1t seems
strange that one man can make it
otherwise.
The uninstructed policy is not,
