the summit of one the mountains

see TWO negro men at work at the
plant. AS the officers went down the
side of this mountain, however. the
negroes hurried up the mountain on
the other side of the valley and es-

THE CORNER IN WHEAT.

James A. Patten, Chicago stock
| gambler, has corner on wheat
which has made the price of -four and
bread go up to such an extent as tc
cause many of the smaller -four mills
to close down as they could not pay
the high price for wheat, and the
poorer classes have been made to feel
the pang Of hunger because they can
not afford the price that is now
charged for bread. The Winston
Salem Journal commenting on the
situation, says:

The difference between an ordi-
nary speculator and Patten Is incon-

There should be some way of

Judge Vale Gives a short But Pffhy
Statement Of the Case and Says
That the End IL Not Yet.
Washington Herald
An effort was made yesterday to
obtain a statement from ex-senator
Marion Butler as to the verdict
against him for libel In North Caro-
lima. He could not be found. but his
law partner. Mr. Vale, who was OF
counsel in the case, in response 10
an inquiry, said:
THE conviction was had upon a
publication In the Raleigh Caucasian.
a minor and collateral
Question of Chickasaw politics-that
of whether or not Judge Adams sup
ported Governor Johnson at the time
of his election in 1904. The defense
had taken no testimony upon that
point, and this non-prepared condi-
ton was reflected In the verdict OF
the jury.
There are still three indictments
pending against the defendants, and
one civil suit involving damages in
the sum of $4,000.
Senator Butler was anxious to
consolidate the four indictments and
go to trial upon the real question in
volved in the publications-that is,
the record of Judge Adams while
chief Judge of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Citizenship Court. His
motion to that effect was vigorously
resisted by special counsel employed
by Judge Adams in the prosecution,
and u was over-ruled, with the re-
suit that the trial was had upon the
containing the collateral
issue. The case is on appeal.
Senator Butler dares the other
side to bring to trial the civil suit, or
either one of the other three indict-
ments wherein the main issue is dis
tinctly involved. The prosecution
seems now to be in the condition of

MIR TAFT AND SOUTHERN PAT
ROEAGE."
Washington Herald

Washington Herald
IL some stories coming out from
the White House nowadays are true
and the particular ones to which We
probable. Mr. William Howard Taft,
President of the United States, has
managed to shift responsibility for
Southern appointments around, in a
measure. to an angle that Is not only
unique and highly interesting, but
downright amusing as well.
A contemporary, for instance, re-
Gently published, upon the authority
OF its Washington correspondent, two
little bits of information that make
fine reading. The first concerned
Senator Simmons and the President,
and had to do with the announced
appointment of certain North Car
Gilman to Office, the which appoint
ment the Senator had called to pro-
test most vigorously. Here is the
conversation alleged to have ensued:
well, now, Senator" said the
ASSAoSAts all IL dAh ~ So " yOu
that IL this man is Objectionable to
you, will hesitate about appoint
ing him. I am DESTROYS always Of
consulting you gentlemen from the
South in such matters. Since you
don't like this man, suppose you sug-
gest a name to me-"
No, sir, Mr.. President, never"
exclaimed Simmons.
mo! Why not?" asked Taft.
For this simple reason, Mr..
President" was the reply. eff I sug-
gest man to you and he is appoint
ed, that man will Immediately be-
come a Republican, and I do not
propose to assist, sir, in making Re-
publicans out of our good Democrats.
During your administration I may
frequently protest against some pro-
spective appointee, but never shall I
appear to recommend any one to
you"
The second story concerned Sen
ator Frazier, of Tennessee, who had
called to talk over patronage in that
State.
'Tell me who your good lawyers
are?" suggested Taft.
''That l will not" replied the SEN
ator." Most of our good lawyers
are also good Democrats, and I will
not hand them over to you to be tam
1ered with
We fear Democratic togas hang
lightly on Southern shoulders, if |
,hese two somewhat astounding and |
altogether naive narratives are based
IN real conditions. If Messrs. Sim !
mons and Frazier will not suggest |
because they fear the acceptance of !.
heir suggestions would be fatal to
he Democracy of the appointees,
low is Mr.. Taft to get any help and
!dvice from them in the matter of
southern appointments that will be
ny real assistance to him?

accordingly?

diminished accordingly!
Is 1t not qualification to Mr.. Sim
mons and the Democratic machine
that the Republican party will ap-
point and keep as postmaster at New
Bern, neighboring town to Mr. Sim
mons home, man like Robert Han
cock who has succeeded in making
the Republican party grow smaller?
Did not the Democratic majority In
that county actually increase over a
hundred votes in the last campaign.
while the Democratic majority in
every other county in the Third Con-
gressional District was greatly de-
creased, and in some counties wiped
out entirely? II man OF high char
acter and capacity, and a man who
honestly desired to build up the Re-
publican party, and who had the abil
ity to lead a movement successfully
in that direction had been postmas-
ter as long as Mr.. Hancock and his
son have held the job, that county
would to-day be a Republican coun-
ty and the Third Congressional Dis
trict would now be represented by a
Republican Congressman.
No one knows this better than Mr..
Simmons, and If President Taft knew
this fact, or only half of the truth
about similar conditions over the
State, he would not be surprised at
Mr.. Simmons reply to him, and be-
sides, he would lose no time in max
ing sweeping and radical change in |
the character of most of the Federal
appointees in the whole South.
