conditiong il the Tenth Diatrict,

The outlook in the tenth district
grows brighter each day, and if
every democrat does his duty
between now and the 9Th Of next
November the majority for Mr..
Gudger will be decisive.
Since the adjournment Of the
Democratic Convention, which
nominatd Mr.. Gudger, every dem
ocrat, with whom we have con
versed has e~mphaticaly stated
that there are 10 dissensions any
where In the district, unless In
Buncombe and even that county,
we have been unable to find a sin
gle Democrat, who will not give
~to u nominee, a cordial and 10y
al support.
It was the evident intention Of
the convention, by nominating a
Buncombe man, to S'put it up to
that county to say whether we are
to have a democrat or republican
representative in the next con-
gress, and the democrats of Bun
combe realizing the responsibility
that has been placed upon them
are working steadfastly and loyal
ly to effecuate the redemption of
the district by the election of Mr..
Gudger.
But Buncombe cannot do every
thing alone and thereforethorough
compact organization in every
county should at once take the
place of supine indifference, if we
are to be successful in November.
We, therefore, again urge our par
ty friends, from Cherokee to Ruth
erford, to get busy, and keep busy
until the sun goes down on the 9Th
of November.
Organize clubs, disseminate lit
erature, go to every voter that you
can possibly reach and talk to him
as a democrat and a brother. Elk
plain the issues involved in the
contest, and as far as you can, the
great inequalities of the present
tariff law, and the iniquities of the
illegal trusts and combines that
have been fostered and kept alive
by class legislation. And remem-
Der, that there is no voter in the
district, be he ever so humble, but
has influence with some other vot-
er whom he can reason with and
induce to vote with us.
De your duty Democrats and all
will be well. The next Congress
man must be a democrat for the
next House of Representatives
will most assuredly be democratic.

ing out no political interview and
did not know that he would be
quoted in this connection. The
Erwin mills will be able to run and
stand up under any panic. They
have the money, but they are hav-
a hard time, having recently built
million dollar mill without now
having any cause for turning a
wheel"
In this reference to industrial
conditions Nh. Erwin expresses
an opinion the truthfulness Of
which cannot be questioned. The
manufacturing industry is finding
great difficulty in tiding over these
t~roublous times and republican
spell-binders are going to find an
attempted defense Of the old pros
perity cry, this year, quite a diff
cult proposition IN comparison to
what it has been for the past eight
or ten years. The idea Of ''pro-
lection" has become rampant and
inflated securities r rapidly On
the decline. The Payne-Aldrich
law has contributed largely to the
present state of affairs and relief
can come only through the cleo
ton of a democratic congress. Let
the Tenth district contribute to
such a result by making a deter
mined effort to give their candi-
date a rousing majority this fall. .

chief? Nobody expects them to
do otherwise. But it is cup to"
the voters of the country to repu-
date the entire bunch. The time
is ripe for a change and the senti-
ment of the people strongly indi-
Gates such a conclusion. In every
election held since the Payne-Ald-
rich law became effective the vot-
r have registered, in unmistak-
able terms, their disgust for and
disapproval of the bill. Insurgent
republicans in congress stood with
the democrats in opposition to it,
but, under the leadership of trust
made representatives, the major
ity party, which had previously
pledged to the people measures of
relief, actually enacted a statute
that increases, rather than cur
tails the oppressive burdens they
had promised to remove. The
Minnesota democrats have taken
a position upon the tariff question
that is easily understood, evil
denced by the following plank in
their state platform:
indications are that the Colonel's
efusion will not deter the Grant
ties from their support of the
Butler program. We shall see.

A greater number of textile
manufacturing enterprises have
been placed in the hands of Ieceiv-
ers, or suspended operations en-
tirely, during the past two years
in North Carolina, than within any
similar period for twenty-five
years. And many of those still
running are operating at a bss in
the hope of holding their opera
tives for service later on, IN the
event of improved conditions. The
Payne-Aldrich bill has retarded
the progress of the cotton mill in
dustry all over the south aid re-

I'VE deplore the weakness and
timidity of President Taft who
with his own campaign promises
still fresh but dominated by the
predatory interests, weakly failed
to Use the tremendous forces of
his high Office to force a recreant
congressional majority to do it's
duty on tariff reform. No subse-
quent effort to fulfill party pro-
misses can atone for this supreme
failure to restore public conf
dence."
There are thousands of insur-
gent republicans in Minnesota
and here is a chance for them to
vote the courage of their convic-
tons by supporting the party that
stands by the people, regardless
John Grant little pap sucker,
j. w. Norwood, census supervisor
for the Tenth district, has sue
ceeded in getting Haywood repub-
licans in their convention last
Monday, to instruct delegates to
the republican state convention
for Marion Buffers protege John
Motley Morehead. This is furth-
er evidence in substantiation Of
the charge that Grant, Morehead
and Butler are tarred with the
same stick.

1t viii lbe a rather surprising
incident to see the delegation
from Judge Ewart's home lining
up with his former traducer.
But that is what will happen in
the republican state convention
next month, when the Henderson

standard of Marion Butler These
be strange times upon which we
have fallen.

With two democrats running in
the sixth district, both claiming to
have been regularly nominated,
republicans have a rather inviting
field. Those eastern fellows are
"warm numbers" and wa!. We
admire their combative spirit but
not the apparent intention Pf put
tin geach other out of business.

Judge Ewart is not in the habit
of lining up with Marion Butler,
but there seems to be an effort to
conscript him this year. Grant,
Butler and Morehead have issued
orders and the smaller fry must
"come to the scratch"

TO SUPPRESS BooDLEIsM.
MR.. PEARsoN's T T

remember that the Hon. Richmond
Pearson, of Asheville, one of the
most prominent republican leaders
in the State, and late minister to
Persia and Greece and withal a
gentleman of great intellectual
powers and high social promin-
ence recently gave to the press a
letter containing his reasons why
he would not accept the republi-
can nomination for the State Sen
ate, which as the Gazett,News
terseIy puts it, is easily the most
Interesting contribution to the
literature Of the present cam
paign.
It appears from his letter, that
on the 10th inst. Mr.. Pearson was
visited by Messrs. j. j. Britt, at
present representing Buncomb
county in the State Senate. T. F.
Roland, the county chairman,
and 7. J. Harkins, chairman of
the City Executive committee,
who asked Nh. Pearson if he
"would accept the nomination
for the State Senate" In reply
to their inquiry, Mr.. Pearson
<stold these gentlemen emphati-
cally and unequivocally that he
could not accept the nomination
for reasons which he stated to
them frankly"
On the 23rd. inst, In the face
of Mr.. Pearsons dec1ension made
to Messrs. Britt, Roland and Haw-
Eas, he was overwhelmingly en-
dorsed in the republican primar-
les for the position, which made
it imperative on the part Of Mr..
Pearson, to state publicly to
those republicans who had sup
ported him In the primaries. The
reasons which acuated him to de-
chine the nomination. This he did
In the following caustic Ian
guage:
II cannot run, or stand, or sit
for the Office in question for the
plain reason, that I cannot en-
.dorse, or defend, or Justify, or ex-
plain, or extenuate, or understand
the persistent and obstinate in
suits which the actual president
and head of the party has heaped
upon the twelve hundred thous-,
and white republicans of the
Southern States, who honored
him by their confidence and their
~Sufrages at the last elections.
Mr. Pearson, still further scores
the president for not needing the
rebukes administered to his adj
ministration in the 9th district of
Missouri and the disastrous rever-
SEES in the 14th Massachusetts and
the 32rd New York districts,
and says in conclusion that they
%tseem to have had no effect upon
Mr.. Taft, and he will probably
continue in his fatuous course I'M
til the elections in next November
reveal the fact that he has lost
friends in our party and gained.
neither votes nor thanks from the
other"
That Mr.. Pearson is a man of
ability, goes without saying, and,
In one opinion the most astute re-
publican politician in North
Carolina, and when he is found,
refusing to serve his party by not
accepting a nomination which.
was rendered him with "practi.
cal unanimity,J'' he may well con-
clude that the political Seer of
Richmond Hill, has discovered
that there are dangerous breakers
ahead Of the republican craft
and that he does not propose to go
down with Taft, Payne and Can
non, to political oblivion in No
vember next.

YOUNG MAN.
go WEST, YOUNG MAN"
TO SEE THE COUNTRY, BUT
COME SOUTH TO GROW UP
IT'S PROSPERITY.

HlM
Of a young man from these parts,
who went out west to look arund
at the country,Eand see if Greedy
advice was still in an acceptable
state of preservation, and below
we give the result of his obserga-
ton. What follows is not in
tended to controyert the stories,
some of which we readily concede
to be true, of the men who at home
have not been able to get very
far away from the bread line, but
have made reasonable, and, some
times, noticeable, successes in the
farming districts of the great
West. This young man evidently
had looked about him before he
left, and taken note of the sue
cesses in this part of the country,
as well as the failures. And when
he went West he likewise took
notice of the failures as well as
the ~successes). "The West is a
good country, and lots of people
are doing well out there, but SO
far as l can see, there are just
as many people doing well at
home. In the West they have
plenty of water for irrigation pur-
poses, where provisions for irriga-
ton have been made, but in this
part OF the country we have just
as much water as we need for our
crops, and do not have to irri-
gate.
''In the West a farmer gets up
by daylight and works every
available minute in a thorough, in
telligent manner, with the result
that his crop from a one-man
farm is something wonderful to
hear about. But in South Caro-
lima, the farmer who puts the same
amount of work and the same
amount of brains into his farming
operations raises just as much,
and gets just as much or more for
it.
1t is true that some people who
were ne'er-do-wells in the East
are prosperous in the West, but
these are the men who have, so to
speak, turned over a new leaf
the men who have realized that
careless management and half
hearted work we're not going to
accomplish anything, and have
felt that they wanted to put all
the scenes of failure behind.
These are the men who have gone
into the West and gone to work
with an aim in view, and have
consistently striven to make good:
but they could have done the
same at home.
"They say on the great plains
a man-can grow a given amount
of produce with one-third the la
Dor it requires in the East. Well,
maybe so, but I cant see what it
profits him if the two-thirds of
his time that he still has left has
to be divided between building
cyclone cellars and scooting into
them.
"The West is all right withits
lrrigations and cyclones, with it's
and billiards., its rolling
stretches of green grass, and
lowing herds and prairie fires
it's a great country. Go out
there and grow up with it if you
like. I've seen it, given it a fair
chance to prove it's claims, and
without hesitation tell you, it's
Carolina for mine"
We hardly kno wwhere to be-
gin to congratulate this young
man. He has rung the bell on
his target at the first shot, and
has furnished the data to sub
the claim that the shot

PRES. HADLEYS IDEA.
Yale Head Suggests Novel Football
Rule.

New. Haven, Ct, Dec. 31.-President
Hadley of Yale praises football and says
that as far as injuries are concerned the
game made a better showing at Yale this
fall than baseball He is quoted as fol-
lows on proposed changes in the Yale
Alumni Weekly:
Football at Yale during the present
season has worked very well. We have
only two or three cases of serious injury
Considering the number of boys that play
football, doubt whether this is much
worse record than baseball would show.
At any rate, it is small price to pay for
a game which diverts the energies of one
kind of boys from rowdyism and another
kind from drinking. If we want to elimi-
nate mass play we have it in our power
to do SO at any time by abolishing all
gridiron lines ard making one compre-
hensive rule that the ball changes hands
on every down unless the opponents have
had a fair and equal chance to get pos
session of it. This would abolish mass
play, root and branch The present rules
have had some effect in this direction, but
as long as the colleges want to reserve
their strength for the final games they
will tend to meet weak opponents with
simple formations and that. of course,
means the massing of men,"

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Supervisor John W. Potter of Marcy,
ex- Democratic committeeman and for
mer chairman of the board of super
visors of Oneida county, was found
guilty Of grand larceny, first degree by
a jury in the supreme court in Utica.
N. Y, Friday and was sentenced by
Justice Andrews to term of not
less than three years and not more
than five years and five months in Au-
burn prison. Potter was indicted on a
charge of conspiracy and grand lar
ceny in defrauding the county of oneida

Today. beginning at midnight, marks
the passing of Providence and the rest
of Rhode Island as "Gretna Green"
when the act of the last General AS
sembly making necessary delay of
five days between the application and
granting of marriage licepses became
effective. This is certain to cut off
most, if not all, of the average Of 500
marriages which have been pefformed
IN this city with both parties from
places in states other than Rhode Is
land. Investigation of the marriage
law of other New England states has
developed the fact that the statutes of
Maine and of New Hampshire admit
OF nearly as much speed in the tieing
OF the nuptial knot as did those Of
Rhode Island up to today.

Camps Changes
In Football Rules.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. H.-Walter
Camp Of Yale issued statement tonight
in which he makes suggestions for
changes in the football playing code for
1oxt year. He advocates a rather novel
Innovation in a rule which would COM
irl all players to stand in a space only
u yards wide. The changes favored by
him are:
Let no player on the attack or the de-
fence lineup outside two lines running
,arallel to the side lines, each Of these
lines being five yards from the ball, thus
n,aKlng the ecrlmmage line 10 yards in
width.
The back field men on the attack and
defence must also keep within these lines
urtil the ball Is put In play.

E.~movc the 5-yard restriction for a
