Confederate Soldiers Accounts
Correct.

State Inspector and Examiner nj. H.
Thatcher Wednesday submitted to Gov
erncr Wilson his report of examina-
ton of the affairs of the State Home
for Confederate Soldiers at Pewee VAL
ley. The report shows that the az
counts of the treasurer are accurate to
the cent. Two overpayments by the
auditors department of the corpora
ton of the home amounting to $40
are reported, of which the auditor has
been advised to make proper deduc.
tons.
The only complaint made. as set
forth in the report, were by some of
the inmates that the are some in the
home who have no right to be there,
some abuses by employees having
friends and relatives to visit them and
of unnecessary employees at the insti-
tuition. In regard to the first named
Mr.. Thatcher says that the law regu-
Iatlng the admission to the home is
very liberal in its wording and con-
struction. Upon his calling attention
to the second complaint, one relative
of an employee who had been visiting
the the home for considerable period
left. AS to the third complaint, he
point out that curtailment might he
made in some cases of the employees
list. Mr.. Thatcher makes a number
of recommendations concerning minor
improvements which would be helpful
at the institution and itemizes the
payroll per month which is to be
81. 118.45.

An increased the city saloon license
from $3.50 to $1,000 a year is
assured by the new city council of
Frankfort, which has just been sworn
into Office. There are thirty saloons
in Frankfort and it is figured that at
least twenty will remain at the higher
figure, thus thus producing much more
revenue for the city's expenses.

Wedo not. fear its immediate
passage. The significance Of its
introduction is proof that t b e
Republican party Of the South
today is the same as it was in
spirit in 1868. 1876, 1895. 1t
looks to Washington for .gui-
dance, for bosship, for pie. 1t
has always wanted Washington
70 dominate and today as IN the
past expects the President to
run local politics. The North
Carolina Republicans would have
a return to 1879 conditions if
they could, with the Force bill
thrown in, and the introduction
ol the hill of Mr.. Cowles shows
the real desire of that party.
When the Force bill was in Con.
grsss only one Republican in
North Carolina raised his voice
against it, and that man was
Hamilton G. Ewart.. Of Hender-
son county, then in Congress.
What did North Carolina Repub-
licans do to Ewart in. return for
his rising above the carpet-bag,
South hating politics2 He has
been retired and is permitted to
exercise not even q scintllla of in.
fluence in the party. That is the
fate Of every Republican W b 0
has not been standing for the
same sort Of measures t h q t
Cowles is now trying to have put
on the statue books. f.
Despite the pretense of respec.
liability, the Republican party in
1909 in North Carolina is "the
same old coon with one more
ring Al 6und his tail"

A Hard Saying.
Charity and Children.
The best thing that some men
ever do for the world. ia to die,
says the Lexington Dispatch.
That is q hard thing to say a..
bout any human being, and yet
with reference to the person at
whom it is aimed, it is strictly
true. The Dispatch, is discussing,
in the article from which we quote
the benefit OF q funeral, now and
then, to the progress of the com
munlty. In almost every town
there is some old skinaint who
owns property in the heart OF
the town that he will neither sell
nor improve. His neighbors en-
bellish their property and thus
enhance the beauty and attrac-
tiveness OF the town, but his
stands in trash and weedsy un.
kept and offensive, a blot on the
neighborhood, a slander on the
community, q challenge to de-
cency and q block to all pro-
gress. An old pike like this is al
ways opposed to schools, to
good roads and smooth streets,
to street and water and element
of progress in our civic life. He
is generally q kicker to all moral
progress, lining up with the sa.
loon because it helps to pay the
taxes that are wrenched from his
unwilling hands. Ofcourse, as the
Dispatch says, any community
is better off with such a man
dead than alive. One trouble
about these old soldiers is that
they never die. They outlive ev-
erybody else. and they appear to
find their highest joy in standing
right across the path ofprogress.
They are opposed to motion.
When one of them does finally
60 the way OF all heearth, those
who hope to gather up a few OF
the fragments lift up their voices
in lamenttatiop, but few tears
are shed by the pnblic at large;
and thus unhonored they 60
down to their graves, and I h 9
places they delighted to waste,
are built up and blossom like
the rose. 1t is pity that t he y
live 30 long, but q blessing that
they do not live forever. As We
said at the beginning, this is a
hard thing to say about any
body, but we are bound to con-
fess that the Dispatch spoke the
solemn truth. The bsst thing

OF trying TO-, seduce Democrats

and paving Offices, and the Force
Bill and Reconstruction meas.
ures and 1.-THE like are kept hid
from view. The smart party leo
yders turned the negro delegates
out Of the State Convention end
then explained to them private
iy that il was necessary to fool
the folks awhile. but that an
soon as they had a majority the
old times would be restored. As
they would be. A prominent Re-
publican said in . private con-
versation two years ago: AL /
wish for my party is to control
the election officers. We would
pot, need to repeal the suffrage
amendment. We would just reg
lister and vote all the negroes
and nobody could dstopus. That
has been the hope, OF the Repub-
lican leaders Of North Carolina
for several years, and, the me-
gro politicians have understood
them perfectly and hence they
have worked together in perfect
harmony. If the Republicans
could carry Norch Carolina one
time we. would have a repetition
Of the elertion method carried
out in this State in 1895. For
that, the Republicans are work
ling and hoping, and the shrewd
leaders have been SO quiet about
Federal interference and appeals
to Washington as to fool some
folks.
| But Congressman Cowles is not
an old leader. He ia a young

Der, but he. ,sees that unless be
can get some help from some
outside source he will be a zone
termer.' He cares more about
saving his scalp than to practice
the Adams Duncan game Of "foo
ling the people," by pretending
to have reformed. He is wiling
enough to be regard as q "rfor.
mer" and to help fool the peo-
ple," but he wants present help
for next year in his time Of need.
Looking about to find help, his
mind went back to the days pri-
or to 1894, when Federal Mar.
shals were appointed at every
polling place.. and he reasoned
that Il be could secure the help
he might squeeze into a seat in
Congress again, and 90 he intro
duced the old Reconstruction
measure, regulating Congress
ional elections, and gave it out
that. that il was d little bill

leaps with Joy when I SEE the peo-
pie take q step upward towari
the grand and sunny heights OF
moral and intellectual freedon.;
and ! also have q feeling OF re-
gret when ! see a step backward
towards the stagnant swamps of
vice and immortality.
z ! think more ofWntauga coun-
ty and her people than any 9th
.er country and people in all this
wide world. Because within her
limits | first saw thelight Of day;
breathed her pure air, drank her
Hlimpid waters and beheld her
.profusion OF flowers. In my boy
hood days / roamed over h err
hills, waded her streams, robbed
the birds nests and killed frogs.
l delighted in doing little mean
tricks, just as other boys do, be-
cause ofthat little streak OF brute
I inherited from old A d q m !,
and it seems that that streak Of
brute is hard to get rid OF. We
can see it cropping out on every
hand.
When | was q small boy, and
the big boys would spank me
and throw me in the mud, it oc-
Cured to my mind that l ought
to have rights as we'll as they.
So as grew up found that all
men are created equalaDd ought
to be FIRE. That is, equal In du-
ties, rights and privileges-not
brute force and brute nature.
Then again it is acknowledged
that Mau has 9 right to conduct
himself wherever he pleases and
do whatever he pleases, so long
as he does not infringe Oh the
same rights and privileges pos
sessed by others, But alasl this
important lesson is so seldom
learned: Now what we are going
to. tay is, should a man or q set
of men I've allowed to co!duct
themselves In, such a manner
that civilized people cannot go
about peacably and assemble as
the law provides?
Not long ago I was at a place
in Watauga county, and there
were at least two hundred drum
ken men and. women, or; sup
pose the women were drunk, as
they were-in company with drum
ken men. I'neyer could stand
drunk people unless ! was in the
same condition. But the mere
fact OF their being drunk was OF
