COOK AND PEARY.

Admiral Peary and DR.. Frederick
Cook, the Arctic explorers, are now
scrapping over the discovery of the
North Pole. Peary led off by send
ing a cablegram to the Associated
Press branding Cook as a "fakir"
and claiming that the Doctor had
never reached the pole. DR.. Cook
replied by stating that Peary had
confiscated his supplies at various
posts along the route to the pole and
had placed strangers in charge of his
property. Cook and Peary are both
on their way to the United States
and the dispute between them will
probably wax warmer after they

Would Make q Horse Laugh.

It is rumored that Mr.. J. G. Cad
dell is arranging to begin the publ
cation of a Democratic weekly paper
at Raleigh. 1t is announced that the
central editorial idea will be the ad-
vocacy of the doctrine of local self
government, as applied to State,
county, township and municipal gov
eminent. Now wouldn't that jar you?
The idea of Democratic paper
preaching such doctrine in the face
Of what has transpired in North Car
DINA, is enough to make a horse
laugh.-Burlingto Dispatch.
We arise to inquire if Ex-Governor
Glenn is to write anti-prohibition edi-
torials for the new paper. It would

How to Remedy the Trust Evil in
This State.
Clinton News Dispatch

CLINTON news DlSpdLCu.
Since we come to think of 1t, there
is no excuse for the Tobacco Trust,
nor any other trust, to be robbing the
people of North Carolina. The DEM
ocrats have the Manning antitrust
law on the statutes, they have the
Attorney General to prosecute the
trusts. They have the Supreme
Court, Zone member of which drew
the antitrust bill and told the rest
of us that it was the real thing,)
which, of course, will uphold the
law that one member of the present
Supreme Court said 1t was all to the
good. Then they have the Governor
who can use the whole power Of the
State to enforce this law. But sup
pose the wicked trust was to run off
to the Federal Courts, why then you
have got Judge Conner, a Democrat,
who could give the trust a back
handed lick over the left eye and
knock it a <somersault backwards,
and if it recovered enough from this
| licking to run up to the United States
| Supreme Court, there you have Chief
Justice Fuller and several other Dem
ocratic members of the United States
Supreme Court, who, no doubt,
would be glad to assist you in up
holding so good an antitrust law as
was drawn by member Of the Su-
preme Court of North Carolina. So
there Is no excuse for Josephus in
allowing the trust to rob the people
any longer. You have all the remedy
at your command; now apply it and
| stop cussing.-That's the stuph.

WHAT CAUSES PELLAGRA?

The new disease, pellagra, still
battles the medical authorities In
this country. About one thousand
cases are reported in this State and
a number of deaths from the disease
have been reported from different
sections Of the State. At first the
medical authorities thought the dis
ease was due to eating corn bread
made of nodded or musty meal, but
now some of the physicians do not
agree with that theory, but acknowl-
edge that they do not know the real
cause of the disease. Those who do
not believe the disease Is caused
from eating impure bread. cite two
victims OF psllagra who had never
eaten any. Now. the disease may
not be due to musty meal, and we
hope that 1t Is not. but we do not be-
lieve that person ever lived in the
South who never ate corn bread
Officials of the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service
are preparing to thoroughly inyesti-
gate the new and strange disease,
which Is becoming more prevalent
each day throughout the country,
and especially in the Southern States.
We hope that the Medical authorities
hope that the medical authorities
will soon discover the cause of the

A Crime to Win Votes.
City Messenger. ]

One of the most prominent and
progressive Republicans in the State
said the other day concerning the
attempted destruction of J. F. Newell
and J. A. Smith in the census super
visors appointment by Judge Adams,
Smith and Newell committed
grave political crime because Newell
got the highest vote on the State
ticket and Smith got a bigger vote
by three or four thousand than any
other Republican candidate ever got
in the Ninth District, and that such
crimes were unforgivable by certain
Republican rulers" Who does not
