dorsement of Adams for Federal

One thing. however. is certain ;
that the action of the patronage ma

cate for solicitor. who could have
been elected as easily as Morehead
was elected to Congress in that dis
trict, shows the utter unfitness OF
the machine to longer dominate and
dIscredit the interests et the party
Such action by the machine was not
only cowardly, but 1t was nothing
less than base party treachery, and
the motives that prompted such &C
ton were equally as base.

RAILEY'S SERMON TO FARMERS.
Talked to National Congress Dele
gates About the "COnseryatiOn''
of Their Souls Interest.

Last Sunday, in the Academy of
Music at Raleigh, one of the most
interesting of all the meetings which
the National Farmers Congress del
egates have attended or participated
in at Raleigh, was held.
The service was under the aus
pices of the Chamber of Commerce.
On the stage were one hundred and
fifty selected singers, representing
the choirs Of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, Peace Institute,
st. Mary's and Meredith Colleges,
and the band of the Third Regiment.
Charles D. Hart leading gave the &C
compartments in admirable style
The singing Of the familiar hymns,
such as Onward, Christian Soldiers
and "How Firm a Foundation" in
which the audience Joined, was a
notable feature. The music was d.
rected by the gifted Wade Brown.
Rev. Milton A. Barber. Rector of
Christ Church, was in charge of the
services. Three other ministers par
ticipated.
Josiah William Bailey was the
speaker, and his address was in fact
a powerful sermon, delivered in his
best style and adding to his already
high reputation as orator and think
er. His theme was the contrast be-
tween the conservation of our natur-
al resources and the conservation of
our spiritual interests. America S
chief concern is not maintenance of
industrial progress so much as pres
ervation of those principles which
control in a proper appraisal of the
interests of the soul. Jesus was con-
cerned for the souls welfare and
with regard to property he placed no
valuation whatever upon it as COM
pared with his valuation of the soul.
His chief concern about property lay
in the peril it offers the soul in its
passage through time. A people who
forget the interests of the soul will
lose the great fundamental rights of
free government. Soul liberty made
the way for personal liberty Our
National Hymn is National and abid-
ing because it is true. 1t speaks of
God as the author of liberty. The
sovereignty of God is the basis of all
sovereignty, whether republic or
kingdom.

'.HOLTON AND BUTLER MUST BE
ELIMINATED"

The Charlotte Southern Republi-
can, commenting upon the efforts OF
the patronage machine to remove
Mr.. Holton as district attorney,
says:
Adams and Duncan say Holton
must be eliminated from N. G. poll
tics. In fact we heard Adams say,
'Holton and all his shall be eliminat-
ed He also said Butler and his ilk
should walk the plank. Now while
Adams and Duncan have not been
saying 1t out loud, yet those ON the
inside say they have been trying to
eliminate each other and their
'flks.' But If the masses of good
Republicans act and vote in the
next State convention like they cuss
new, they will put men in Duncan
and Adams places who want to build
up our party"
IA INC ICSChI 5O-CdIICu iOouCl .
wanted to build up the party, Hol-
ton and Butler would be able to CO.
operate with them to that end, and
their services would be most well
come. The fact that Holton and
Butler did lead a campaign in North
Carolina and win a great victory In
1894 when the opportunity for sue.
cess was not as good as at the last
election, is enough to make them
odious in the sight of the present
patronage machine.
The fact that Holton is a man Of
character, courage and ability, ant
besides being an able lawyer ha!
fearlessly enforced the law, Is anoth
er sufficient reason why a man like
Adams should hate him, and becom,
very anxious to get him out of the
position of district attorney; and be
sides, it is known that Adams, VIII,
knows no law and is totally unquali
fed for the position of district at
torney, desires to get the job TO
himself.
The people are fast learning tn
size and measure of Adams and hi
machine, and it is to be hoped tina

AND THE LAW AND OR
DER LEAGUE.

The Greensboro claw and order
league" which appointed a commit
tee to take up and investigate the
contention between chief of police
and board of aldermen and the doc
tors and medical society of Green's
boro, have reported and through the
committee print pronouncement in
the law and order leagues "organ,"
the Telegram, upholding the police
chief and board of aldermen.
They call upon the physicians to
rescind their former action in advis-
ing druggists to refuse to exhibit
liquor or other prescriptions to the
police chief, unless with permission
of the doctor writing such prescrip-
ton, and to withdraw their demand
made before and upon the alder
manic board. They further express
the hope that the doctors twill help
in the enforcement of the law"
meaning the municipality created
claw" which the police chief claims
entities him to demand to see all pre-
scriptions written by any doctor
calling for liquor Of any kind in any
quantity for anybody.
But it is stated that the physicians
and majority of the medical asso-
citation are as irm as ever in their
demands and will have a case made
up and taken to the State Supreme
Court to settle the contention.

COWARDICE AND PARTY
TREACHERY.

The Bessemer City Messenger,
commenting upon the resignation of
Mr.. Jones Fuller as solicitor for the
Durham district, publishes some in
terestng political history as to why
and how Mr.. Fuller became solicitor
In a Republican district. 1t says:
sit was charged by local Republi-
cans in that district. and we have not
seen 1t denied, that Solicitor Brooks
and his friends who desired Brooks
nomination for Congress, colluded
with Mr.. Fuller. or his friends, that
IL they would secure Brooks nomi-
nation for Congress that Mr.. Fuller
would have no opposition in his race
for election to the solicitorship.
Something was said around Green's
boro about a rumor Of $4,000 being
spent by one individual or corpora
ton to secure Brooks nomination.
Allen Holt and others might know
something about this rumor. At any
rate, Mr.. Brooks was nominated for
Congress whether Fuller's friends
put up cent or not Is not material
to the story.
But we do know that Mr.. Fuller
was nominated for the solicitorship
and that the Republicans in their
convention did not put up any candi-
date on their ticket and 1t was OPEN
ly talked around Greensboro that the
American Tobacco Company interests
had dickered with the Republicans
and bought or persuaded the Repub-
hcan leaders not to put up a candi-
date for solicitor to be elected along
with Morehead and other Republi-
cans. AS the solicitor in that district
woald have to draw bills of indict-
ment II any were to be drawn against
the American Tobacco Company, and
the writer personally on occasion
shortly after the election, told State
Chairman Adams that prominent Re-
publicans were complaining bitterly
at him for not putting up candidate
for solicitor and also claiming that
they believed it was because of the
influence Of the friends of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, that the Re-
publicans did not put up a candidate
for solicitor, and he replied: 81
wanted to put up a candidate, but
was told not. to do it. 1 did as was
told to do by Duncan and others"
and we violate no breach of conf
dence now by saying this.
These seem to be the conditions
and this the outcome of the disgrace
ful act and political debauchery of
our so-called leaders, traducing the
masses Of the Republicans and, IL the
facts were as intimated to us, it was
a most corrupt act on the part Of the
leaders in ordering Adams not to put
up a candidate. and a cowardly ac-
ton on his part in acceding to it,
We think that most of what Is said
above has been generally commented
upon and is generally believed by Re
publicans in the district: but in ad-
dition to this. it may be added that
there are also some who believe that

GIVE WILLIE HEARST THE
CREDIT DUE HIM.

1t is striking fact that all the
North Carolina newspapers. includ-
ing the Charlotte Observer, employ a
gross misconception of the cause and
effect of the recent municipal cleo
ton in New York City. in their edi-
tofial comments on the defeat of
Hearst for the mayoralty. For in
stance, the Charlotte Observer says:
SIN the results of that election
Murphy has consolation for the loss
by Tammany of everything but the
mayoralty in seeing Hearst over
whelmingly defeated-so completely
showed under that any man except
one like Hearst would feel too much
chagrin ever again to become a can
didate for Office"
That Is an erroneous conception
Of the situation. we have good reason
to believe.
One of our reasons for saying this
is the following:
The Washington, D. c., Evening
Star, which all newspaper men know
to be one of the most careful and
reliable, as well as among the veal
thiest and most successful news
papers in the country, sent one OF
its best staff men to New York dur
ing the closing days of the campaign
o. M."-who Is N. o. Messen-
ger, one of the best newspaper men
at the National Capital. In wiring
his paper column story about the
election he explicitly and unreserv-
eddy, in the plainest of language
gives the credit for the defeat of the
| Tammany candidates for the board
of estimate (Which Tammany, above
all others, desired to elect, so as tc
control that "billion of dollars" soor
to be expended in New York City,
and the other Offices. all except the
mayoralty candidate (Gaynor,) tt
William r. Hearst. whose name lee
the fusion ballots" and which called
the trick and defeated the Tammany
candidates.
| Hearst was not elected along with
the other fusion candidates because
a straight Republican candidate fol
mayor was also In the field, and his
(Bannard's) name led the fusion
ticket of nominees for the other Of
fees voted by the Republicans, JUS
as Hearst's name led the same bal
lot with that one exception), which
Hearst's followers voted.
| Had Hearst refused to run fol
mayor Gas he at first decided upon)
the Tammany boodlers and grafters
would certainly have had the pleas
ure. now denied them, of spending
that billion dollars of expenditures
| Therefore, we fail to see where
our friend of the Observer gets the
consolation he would fain hand ovel
to Boss Murphy.
| He'll decline to accept such paci
fication, brother. For he. at least
knows better. and it's different, quite
different. In fact, Murphy is mo-
quite tickied to death over Gaynor'.

been on the toboggan ever since, de-
Ginning some five dollars or more per
bale in less than a week. Recovery
is hoped for and predicted, because
Of the insistence of a short crop.

connection:

tional Ginners' Association, has is
sued the following bulletin:
Complete returns indicate max

THE heavy falling Off is all over
the belt except in Georgia and the
Carolinas, where there is about as
good a crop as last year on a little
smaller acreage.
