A Question of Law.

To the. Editor viii you allow me
space in your valuable columns to
express my feelings in regard to my
being denied the liberty to vote at
my old home / would have my read
ers to understand that l have nothing
to say against the election law in
North Carolina, which has worked
no i'll to either political party, so
long as it is melted out to both par
ties in the spirit of equal justice.
But when it takes one to the ballot
box and refuses another because of
his party Affiliations, then it becomes
a curse to our country. Surely in
my case this was the result, or the
election law was violated. I do not
contend that l had right to vote at
Arapahoe, where I was registered.
because l do business and sleep in
New Bern, yet my interest and home
are at Arapahoe. But l am debarred
the right to vote there. But Mr.. J.
B. Emul, of Vanceboro, Craven Co.,
who seldom ever visits Arapahoe, ex-
cept when he goes to vote, is admitted
to the ballot box. Surely the distinc-
ton is against our party affiliation,
as we both own property and inter-
ests there, and my greatest interest
of allan interest that Mr.. J. B.
Ernest has never taken in stock in.
While l must confess that 1 am not
up to the discharge Of duty as I
should be, yet I love the Church and
my brethren. But when it comes to
our political afiliation, they can at
ford to turn me down and vote Mr..
]. B. Ernul, either in violation Of
justice or the election law Of our
State. That I will leave for my read
ers to decide.
For If I had no right to vote, sure
ly Mr.. Emul did not, as we were
both challenged, and if neither had
a right to vote then the election law
of North Carolina was violated, and
If we had right to vote, then the
law Of justice was violated. This
question any unbiased, honest man
will have to admit.

Historic Spots I'm State.

R. D. w. Conner, secretary OF the

ceipt of a letter from DR.. e. q.
Sparks, President of State College.
Pennsylvania, In which DR.. Sparks
says:
eat the last meeting OF the Ameri-
can Historical Association In New
York a committee was appointed to
determine what service the associa-
ton could render toward marking
places associated with memorable In
cidents in American history. A pre-
liminary task would seem to lie In
making a survey Of the States to de
termine what has been done and
what remains to be done"
Mr.. Conner is. in accordance with
the request of DR.. Sparks, preparing
a report OF the historic places In
North Carolina which have been suit

Cons q the Revolution was held IN
Raleigh on Tuesday, a considerable
,nmD.r Of the members being In at
tendance. 4 portrait of Governor
nayfe as presented to the State by
the society and banquet was served
in the evening.
Tuesday was the opening OF the
quail shooting in Wake County. and
a large number OF gunners from
Raleigh went out in the fields and
woods, returning in most instances
with large bags OF the feathered
beauties. The birds are reported as
fat and In a generally good condi-
ton.
There was an unusual occurrence
Monday afternoon about 6 o'clock in
the nature OF thunderstorm. The
temperature stood at about IS de-
grees and people were going about
with overcoats on, while the light
ming was flashing and thunder peal
ing. The weather authorities say the
storm was due to the low pressure.
The Board of Aldermen has adopt
ed resolution calling on the North
Carolina delegation in Congress to
work for an appropriation for paw

To the Editor: An unusually Bit
ter election contest has been pulled
on IN Wake County without. perhaps.
any serious consequences.
The goody-good. seif-aceiaImed
people have carried the day. and IL
IL TO be hoped that they wtIs make
good TO better purposes than the
same set have done In the city of
Raleigh.
The iaw requires that election re-
tsrns from precincts shall be seaIsa
up and returned 20 the county eIees-
ton board on the second day after The
election This board should then meet
and canvass the returns. and when
finished proclaim the result At the
courthouse door. Was the LA CON-
piled with? No. The board met and
the returns from two precincts we're
missing. so they adjourned until Sat
nrday, but the returns stiil being
missing 1t adjourned again until
Monday. And | understand no legal
announcement has yet been made.
Yet on Tuesday morning the News
and Observer published what pur-
ported 10 be an Official statement of
the returns.
1t seems that these returns were
made TO only one newspaper, the
News and Observer on Monday night.
That was a strange procedure, for a
party that processes TO stand for
morality, to take.
| should have stated that the duty
OF the board was to send an Official
copy OF the retusns each TO the Clerk
OF Court and the Register OF Deeds.
There having been no legal cleo
ton, the present county officers could
upon contest hold over for another
term.
Again, all the newly elected off,
GERS declared in favor of, and agreed
TO take, salaries instead of fees. This
moral idea of forestalling Legislative
action smacks smartly of bribery.
These officers take possession
about the first of December, whereas
! the Legislature does not meet until
January to pass upon the matter
Elk post facto? Constitution, Ell?
| think every court will hold that
these men may claim and get al
the emoluments of the Office TO which
they were elected and that began &c
accrue at the time of qualification. II
is well settled that an Office may be
abolished, but the officer can not be
deprived of the emoluments during
the term for which he was elected
event of impeachment.
Therein lies ground for serious re

The Wake County canvassing

The reports from the various pre-

VISITS WASHINGTON AGAIN
Roosevelt There for First Time
Since Taft g Inauguration.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Oct. President Roose-
welt arrived here at 9:25 this evening. this
being the first time he had entered the
national capital since he left it on the
afternoon of March T. 1909, having just wit
messed the impressive ceremony which
made William II. Taft President of the
United States. Mr. Roosevelt left Wash
ington on that occasion in a snow and sleet
storm which had seldom been equalled in
the capital. He entered it tonight in hot
spell which seems destined TO break all rec
ores for October.
Aside from one or TWO personal friends
there was no one at the Union Station TO
meet 3Ir. Roosevelt. and he remained
quietly in his car during the thlrty-five
minutes required TO shift his car and that
of the newspaper correspondents accom-
panvins him from the Pennsylvania 10 the
Southern Railway. over which the start for
the South was made
To-days run was practically without IN
cident At several points considerable
crowds had gathered with the hope OF
seeing and hearing Mr.. Roosevelt but no
arrangements had been made TO permit OF
his making addresses. and his fear for the
safety of those VINO might have been er-
danEered by the numerous passing trains
led him 20 refrain from speaking.
