They recently held . Democratic
in Johnston County. The
News and Observer said that there
we're three thousand of "Johnsion's
unterrifed'' on hand: other papers
give the number as less than five
hundred. Including Republicans"
But that Is neither here no there.
The facts we have 10 deal with Is
what did those three thousand. or
those FIVE hundred. Democrats do.
We quote the smithfeId Herald. the
organ Of the Democratic party, under
date OF August 18th. In which 1t very
frankly admits. By implication, that
the said Democratic party stood for
liquor: opposed rotation in Office:
nominated for Office men known not
TO be sober: that the convention was
not honest; that elections in John
ston County were not honest. and
that the Democratic party stood for
extravaganza in Office"
These are cold blooded facts, and
we feel sufficiently acquainted with
the conditions TO believe that our
Democratic contemporary, in the hui
initiation of the defeat of his friends
for office, told the honest, sober
truth
This week the Herald, still Demo
cratic, but still madden than the
week before, come out with a column

the editorial, that the convention

We don't blame him. For years
We have rather objected to the pro
cess ourselves when Brother Beatty
and his Democratic party gave us the
same dose. 1t all depends on whose
OK is gored.

MIND READING OR-WHAT?

The News and Observer in a re-
cent editorial that was as charac-
teristically Josephusian as that Billy
Bryan hat, made the remarkable
statement that the women of Ra-
leigh, including the wives of Repub-
licans" were strong and true Demo
Gratis.
Such a printed statement would
jar one, If one did not consider the
source. If true. when and how and
by what means did the editor be-
come possessed of such facts that
would enable him to make such a
statement? Has he had the city
carefully canvassed and a poll taken?
We trow not. for in this little city
of ours such a proceeding would have
attracted notice. How then, has he
become possessed of such data?
We have it.
The editor of the News and OBJ
server is a mind reader, with a dou-
BILE back-action mind While pa
trolling the streets of Raleigh, his
thoughts enmeshed (isn't that a good
word?) in the evolvement of a high
minded thought that will occupy the
seat of honor on his editorial page
under the title of Morning Tonic
and at the same time thinking w
some other form of abuse to throw
at the Republicans which will later
appear on the same page aforesaid

MONGREL PIECE OF ARTISTRY

E Isle Of Wight.

There was set up in the seventeenth
century, at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.
what Is probably the most curious
piece of art extant, erected to the
memory of Sir Robert Holmes, a Brit
ish naval officer OF that period
The odd circumstance Is that the
statue was not originally designed for
Holmes at all. but for very different
parsonage, no other, indeed, than Louis
XIV. of France.
This statue, finished as to the figure
J but in the rough as to the head, WAS
being taken to France on an Italian
vessel, when it was captured by a
British man-ofwar commanded by
Holmes, Upon perceiying the unfin.
ished condition Of The statue, Holmes
with grim humor, compelled the artist,
who had accompanied his work. to
ehisel his tidolmesD head on the king s
body. And SO 1t stands to-day.
Holmes was eventually made gov.
ernor Of the Isle of Wight, which fact
accounts for the location OF this mon

romantic love and its less romantic sequels,
