THE CENSUS SUPERVISORS
APPOINTED.
President Says that Supervisors and
Enumerators Must Refrain from
Taking Part in Politics.

Beverly, Mass. Aug. 15.-In
letter addressed today to Secretary
Nagel, OF the Department of Com
merce and Labor, President Taft
served notice that any man engaged
in the taking of the thirteenth CEN
sus of the United States who en-
cages in politics in any way will be
dismissed Immediately from the SER
vice. At the same time announce
ment was made OF the appointment
of 134 additional supervisors.
Outside of casting their votes, the
President believes that census super
visors and enumerators should keep
| clear of anything that savors of pol
itics, National, State or local.
In his letter President Taft orders
| that the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor and the director of the census
embody in the regulations governing
| the taking of the census the rule as
forcibly laid down in his letter.
Mr.. Taft says that in appointing
census supervisors it has been found
necessary to select men recommended
by Senators and Congressman il
their districts. He says he realizes
that this method of selection might
easily be perverted to political pr
poses, and it is to take the census
out of politics, so far as the actua
work is concerned, that he has ex
lplicitly expressed his desires as t.

THE Federal Patronage in the Ninth
Congressional District"

Much spite work and much lying
drunken. spiteful enemies OF the Re-
publican party, some who turned Re-
publican to get q job and some who
lost out by bad acts, etc.
ITO state the matter plainly and
openly, the custom was and had been
Rollins state chairman, to give the
Congressional candidate, whether
elected or defeated, the Federal pat
ronage, make him the referee. This
was done absolutely with Mr.. Geo.
B. Hiss six years ago, though he was
defeated by nearly six thousand. J..
A. Smith made his canvas for Con-
gress last fall without a single pro-
mise of Federal patronage and was
elected, according to the election
laws on the books. The State chair
man has said he believes this, &C
cording to the evidence in Smith s
contest, and others have said it. This
being the case Smith deserved to be
put on the same footing as Grant,
Cowles and Morehead, who got their
commissions without the contest
Smith has to go through to get his.
| So Smith simply asked that he be
| treated as the other three elected
| Congressman and the powers that be
said yes, and that is all there is tic
it, and any man in the district who
does not back Smith up in this is not
a true or loyal Republican and that
is all there Is to this-The Southern
Republican.
We are not sure from reading the
above whether Editor Smith has beer
recognized in appointments in his
district or not. But it is certain thai
under the present administration O.
affairs other Republican nominees FOL
Congress have not been recognized
in the appointment of Federal Office
holders in their district, unless thu

lustration of this in the Fourth Con
gressional District recently. A can

charges, had the unqualified endorse
ment of the Republican candidate TO

fee in the district, as we'll as othe

Follow.

Statesville, Aug. 12.-The arrest
in Statesville yesterday afternoon of
Mr.. Robert Miller, Of Shiloh town.
ship, on a warrant charging him with
shooting at Mr.. Raymond Wilson, of
Shiloh township, resulted in bring
ing to the ears Of the officers story
of a rather sensational shooting at
fray in Shiloh Monday, On being
taken before Justice J. A. King,
Miller at first proposed to give bond
for his appearance at a preliminary
hearing at a future date, but later
decided to waive examination and
give bond for his appearance at Su-
perior Court. Bond in the sum of
500 was required.
Both Miller and Wilson live in
the same neighborhood in Shiloh and
each of them has "a wife and four
children. Miller admits that he fired
at Wilson five Or six times.
1t is alleged that when Miller came
upon his wife and Wilson in a field
that he not only fired at Wilson but
assaulted his wife and slapped her
down. The woman swore out a war
rant for her husband before Justice
Fulbright, of Shiloh, charging him
with striking her, but withdrew the
warrant before it was served. The
warrant on which Miller was arrest
ed was sworn out by Wilson.
1t is understood that Miller has
employed counsel with view to
bringing suit for divorce from his
wife.

NEW YORK HARMONY" MEET
INGS,

Some of the Democratic leaders
among the conservative" in New
York State have decided to hold a
meeting about the first OF September
for the purpose of "harmoniZing" the
party In that State. The meeting will
be attended by such men as Ex-Judge
Alton Z. Parker, Judge Morgan
O'Brien and other leaders in the
State. They have announced several
topics that will be discussed for the
good of the party, but it Is charged
by others that the chief object of the
meeting will be for the purpose OF
Kidding the party of "Ftngy" Con-
ners as State Chairman. Corners
is very wealthy, and that is probab-
" why he was chosen chairman, but
as he has not delivered the votes or
elevated the party they have decided
to pick a new Moses. 1t would do
the party no good, however, to drop
Corners as chairman and still allow
Murphy, the leader of Tammany, and
Pat McCarren, the boss of Brooklyn
| to control Greater New York. Theil
| leadership is very distasteful to the
| better element in the party. Not
withstanding that Parker and hi
forces are posing as reformers, theil
movements are viewed with suspi
cion by the Bryanites in that State
and they have accordingly planned
meeting at Saratoga a week in ad
vance of the Parker meeting, t.
make their plans to capture the ma
chinery of the party and thus hea'
off the proposed meeting of the con
servatives. 1t matters not which ele
ment gets control of the party the
can never hope to carry New York
or even be considered respectable
until the party is reformed and a
entire new set of leaders put in cor
troll.

Does the following explain why
Mr.. Bryan would not agree to run
for President on the prohibition
ticket:
You once opposed a State

that the people in one end of the
State had no right to dictate to
those in another part of the
State. County local option seems
to be a fair and safe solution

Wonder if the News and Observer
and Ex-Governor Glenn knew of Mr..
Bryan's views on this question when
they were whooping him up for Pres
ident last year? The supposition is
that they did, but what did that mat.
ter so long as he was labeled Dem
ocrat?" We have understood that

MISLEADING STATEMENTS
ANENT THE TARIFF.

A Philadelphia paper had a spasm
a few days ago over the new tariff
bill and the Charlotte and a few
other Democratic papers are threat
ened with a stroke, without being
able to give the exact cause. The
Charlotte Observer, commenting on
an article from the Philadelphia Rec
ord, says:
This talk of downward re-
vision Of the tariff is so laugh
able in its absurdity that few
people or party organs, unless
just enough to save their faces,
have taken it at all. There
was great rush of importing
merchants in New York, Phila-
delphia and other Cities notes
the Philadelphia Record, to get
their wooden goods and other
textile fabrics, including silks
and hosiery with many other ar
ticles through the custom before
the Presidents signature was af-
fixed to the fatal tariff. At the
same time goods to the value of
millions were taken out of bond
ed warehouses to escape the pay
ment of the increased duties.
Not less than twenty-five or thir-
ty ocean-going steamers laden
speed just in time to be too late.
Such Is the answer of the bust
ness world to the fool pleas that
this is a downward revision of
the tariff. Were the duties re-
duced, as its authors pretend,
the importing merchants would
have waited to the last hour in
order to obtain advantage of the
reductions
The American people pro-
verbally love to be humbugged
but it will be hard to humbug
them with quite such a flimsy
plea as downward revision
transparency is"
Several Democratic papers hay
MADE the statement that a gre
number of vessels ran for dear Ii
trying to get into New York harb
before the new tariff bill went in
effect. If their statements are tru
why don't they tell their readers
just what those cargoes consisted?
If they were loaded with silk
fine wines and twenty-five cen
cigars. then they had cause to hurI
into port before the new tariff la
went into effect, as the duty on su,
luxuries have been increased. If al
of these vessels were loaded wi
iron ore, steel rails, cotton ties, luz
Der, wood pulp, leather or agricl
tural implements, they would n
have raced to get into port before t
Payne bill went into effect, as t
duty on these articles is lower NJ
than under the Dingley tariff law.
Some Of the papers have al
claimed that the new tariff bill b
caused wooden goods to advance
price. This cannot be so, as t
wooden schedule in the Payne b
is identically the same as in the Dir
ley bill. If the manufacturers ha
increased the price of wooden goo
such increase in price was in no W
due to the new tariff bill.
The tariff bill may have it's i
projections, but that doesn't iustj
the Democratic papers in mis-stati
facts when discussing the provisio
of the new bill
