Letter From Western Sampson.

Editor The Caucasian:
AS l have not seen anything from
the west end of Sampson I will write
a few lines. The election is over, we
have gained the victory and the
prices of cotton and other things are
now moving up and we Republicans
are all pleased, and I believe the
Democrats are, too, what few there
are left. AS Bilkins said In his last
letter, ''they are scattered" and ]
think so, too, and I think they have
already said enough to scatter all the
good honest people from them that
believe in local self-government
They say that the Republican party
will steal-has stolen; but still they
invite us over with them; so they
must want the thieves in their party
so they could help them steal.
I have read in the Bible where Il
says that Gods people should rule
and that makes me know that the
people should rule; so we do invite
all good, honest people that believes
in local self-government to come
| over on the Lords side, for the
Democratic party is not willing fol-
the people to rule.

Local Se1f-Government.

Local Se1f-Government.
Some of our contemporaries
are inclined to the opinion that
the next Legislature will expert
ence some embarrassment when
it is confronted with the pro-
posal TO restore to the various
counties the right of local self
government; the right of local
option.
ut may be different in the
years to come, but we doubt
whether the next Legislature
will allow itself to be per-
picked very greatly over this
proposal"
The Democratic party was at one
time in favor of local self-govern-
ment, and then began to desert that
great fundamental principle of free
government by degrees here and
there wherever some office could be
saved to the Democratic party or
some other partisan advantage gain
ed thereby. 1t has finally complete
ly deserted that great doctrine, and
did not even mention 1t in its last
State platform. The Caucasian has
always been for local self-govern-
ment and is still for it, and for II
without any 'ifs" or lands" or con
ditions. In fact, local self-govern.
ment is a great principle, it is the
cornerstone of free government, and
it is either right or wrong. If it Is
wrong, then our whole system OF
government is wrong.
If the people are not competent tc
govern themselves locally, they are
not competent to govern themselves
in State or Nation, and a denial OF
the right to the people of local self
government will lead surely to a de
NAL and an abridgment of that RICH
in State and Nation. The Repubh
can party must stand squarely TO
| the principle of local self-govern
| ment, or it must be against it. Their,
can be no hedging and compromis
ing.

The last issue OF Mr.. ". J. Bry-

says:
MIR. Murphy. the head OF Tam
many, says that 'Tammany did the
best IL could for the Democratic Ma
tionai ticket There's the rub. IL
Tammany had been treaeherous II

what hope Is there next time, II
Tammany did the best II could. and
could not carry the city OF New York

several questions arise:
First. was II the fault OF the plat

Second. was It the fault OF the

Third. was 1t the fault of Tam

tory.
But IL IL was the fault OF Tam

How is Tammany to be reformed?
If Tammany will not support the

the ticket and platform are satisfac-
tory to the Democrats of the Nation,
what Is to be done?
But the fourth question is, Is
there a Democracy outside of Tam

| Tammany did its best, then either
| Tammany could not bring Tammany
TO support the ticket, or there Is a

We publish in another column an
editorial clipped from the Clinton
News Dispatch headed "That Libel
Suit" We published the other day
a special dispatch from Clinton to
the Charlotte Observer saying that
the Republicans of Sampson County
were greatly indignant at the conduct
of Adams in swearing out a warrant
against ex-senator Butler and having
1t served on him on the day of cleo
ton and on his way to the polls, and
further saying that the people of the
county, regardless of party, con-
demned the manner of the service of
this warrant and also the fact that
the officer was instructed not to &C
cept bail. If Adams had fully sue
ceeded in his scheme he would there
by have succeeded in reducing the
Republican majority in Sampson
County by at least one vote. At the
hearing at Greensboro the next day
one of the attorneys of Adams denied
that instructions were given to the
officer not to accept bail, but the of
ficer says he had such instructions,
and the Raleigh papers announce
that similar instructions were given
to the officer in Raleigh with refer
ence to Lester F. Butler. The giving
of such illegal, malicious; and infam-
Gus instructions win not meet the
approval of a single decent Citizen OF
the State.

AN INSULT TO THE PEOPLE OF
THREE CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICTS.

The Raleigh News and Observer
in an editorial, says:
North Carolina Republicans
continue to be elated because
they bought three seats in Con-
gress and their party bought the
Presidency. North Carolina can
not be seduced or bought, and
two years hence the purchase
will be avenged. You can buy
part of the people some of
the time, all of the people
part of the time, but you can
not buy all the people all of the
time.''
A majority of the white people Of
the Fifth, Eighth and Tenth Con
gressional Districts, a large number
of whom were formerly Democrats
decided that the best interests Of
their District required the defeat
of a Democratic Congressman ant
the election of a Republican Con
gresham, and they voted according
ly. Such political independence IL
North Carolina is a crime in the eye.
. of the Democratic machine, so O
course, 1t is met with abuse, and ne
only abuse but the base and in
famous charge that these voters
were bought. Such a charge deserve
the severest rebuke and condemna
ton by the good people of Nortl
Carolina.
The time Is over in this Stat
| when men can be brow-beaten an,
Inundated into voting against thei
convictions, and the time is owe
when they can be abused and Wilt
| fed when they do so. The time /
already here when Mr.. Daniels will
find that his style of journalism will
no longer pay in North Carolina.

A HAND OUT.

The other day some children play
ink In one of the cemeteries dis
covered human hand sticking out
of the ground in hole. They told
their father and he went out to in
vestigate and found what appeared
to be the hand Of a woman protrud-
ing from the ground in a hole that
seemed to have been dug by some
animal. The skin on the arm SO
far as uncovered was intact He
reported the matter to the police
and yesterday morning he and Po-
liceman Eli went out to Investigate,
but they found someone had filled
up the hole and tamped the ground
down hard over it. The matter was
reported to the cemetery authorities.
1t is strange that any body would be
buried in such a shallow grave that
part of it could be seen foot below
the surface when the ground was
removed. And were was the coffin. !?

modifying, the use OF injunctions in

of st. Louis, president of the Ma

today anticipated the labor conference
by issuing formal statement in
which he made bitter attack on the
position that the union labor men are
expected to assume. He declared that
anything approaching the advocacy
of class legislation should be avoided
by the Republican party and asserted
that the union labor leaders who have
Deen mentioned in connection with
the coming conference are members
Of the Democratic party and should
not be recognized by the Chicago
convention. 81,
Another statement issued during the
day emanated from Congressman
William B. Mckinley, manager Of
Cannon's campaign, who was moved
to shouts by results of the contest be-
fore the national committee. He adj
vocated a new reapportionment of
delegates to national conventions
along the lines Of suggestions made
by the allies several days ago. His
statement said: 1.-THE practice OF
permitting score Of men in each

up candidates for congress even whert
conditions seem to make their cleo
ton possible, brings the necessity Of
restricting the representation OF the
South to the front as never before.
Secretary Elmer Dover Of the ma
tional committee. today sent letter
to General j. HI. Baker at Mankato,
Mimi, Inviting that gentleman to
occupy a seat on the platform
throughout the convention. General
Baker was delegate, with Senator
William B. Allison Of Iowa, to the
Republican convention Of 1856, from
the Ninth Ohio, district. It was at
this convention that John G. Ere
mont was nominated for the presi-
dency. This courtesy has been ex-
tended to General Baker for the
last eight years.
Mckinney and Hanna Garry, twin
sons of Prof. D. w. Garry, president
of Negro college of Alcorn, Miss,
were today appointed pages for the
national convention. Prof. Garry
was one of the anti-Taft delegates
who was defeated in the contest be
fore the national committee, and
who was later principal of the ifs
tic encounter which occurred outside
the committee room.

The Democrats through the state
seem to be worried over the posi-
bility Of a light vote for their party
ticket at the primary election, and
call the attention Of voters to he
fact that unless the state nominees
receive something over seven thous-
and votes they will not get a place
on the fall election ballot as party
nominees. The provision Of the law
that requires thirty per cent Of the
party vote to be cast at he primaries
to entitle the party nominees to a
place on the oficia1 ballot was in
tended TO keep Democrats in their
own party when it comes to voting.
