IN SAD PLIGHT.
DR.. Cook Broken in Health,
Without Funds and Without

Bellingham, Wash, Dispatch. 23i.
DR.. William H. Axtell, who was
a personal friend Of Frederick A.
Cook, today received a letter
from Mrs. Cook, dated Valparaiso,
Chile, in which she says the ex-
plorer is broken in health, with
out funds and unable to continue
his fight to establish his claim
that he discovered the Pole. DR..
Axtell said today:
Mrs. Cook tells me in her let
ter that Cook made considerable
money out of his trip when he
first arrived in New York, but
that he spent it in defending
himself against bitter attacks
from his enemies before the Cop
enhagen decision was made pub
lie.
Cook left New York later to
escape contumely, says Mrs. Cook,
and to so before the board of in
quiry at Copenhagen as his own
representative. Then Mrs. Cook
followed him, met him in Eng
! land, found him a nervous wreck
and very i'll.
'She writes that it was her
fault that Cook did not appear
publicly at the time he was un.
favorably reported on. She says
she took him to Holland, France,
Italy and then to Spain where
they embarked for Buenos Ayres.
From Buenos Ayres they
went around Cape Horn to Chile.
Cook is still very i'll and will be
in no condition to take up his
fight for the honors which he still
says should have been his"
DR.. AxteIl added that accord
ing to the letter the explorer ane
his family will arrive quietly in
New York and will settle doWr
for quiet life.
Mrs. Cook says, "he continu
ed, that her husband has II,
funds with which to go to tn,
Artic regions after the proofs re
, quired by the University of Cop
enhagen and that if he had tn
, necessary cash he knows of N
one he could trust to do the worI
for him.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonan:
Through the kindness of some
good soul in your cityIamin receipt
of The Robesonian of February
%, 1910. First, | desire to con-
graduate you because in this
edition of your paper | have been
unable to find one word said
against anything or any one. That
is right. Let all that is good be
praised, and when the bad fell
lows-if any--notice that they are
ignored, they will think over the
matter seriously and turn over a
new leaf.
In particular, we in Philadel-
phia are more than pleased with
your good words regarding our
friend S. Wittkowsky. He may
live in North Carolina, but he is
at least forty percentum a Phila-
delphian, and we love in him not
only that percentage, but the
other sixty percentum also. Do
you know that he got out of a
sick bed last july to visit Phila-
delphia, and the very thought of
this City of Brotherly Love, City
of Homes, Quaker City, includ-
ing City of Strikes, cured him E?
While here he either parted with
42a years of his 70 years or left
them in Charlotte. Wittkowsky
is all right, upside, down-side,
right-side, left-side, all around
and clean through.
If Lumberton has any inclina.
ton to become enthused, let ev.
cry man, woman and child char.

NOMINATION
PAPERS OUT
Candidates Are SeCur.
ing and Circulating
Blanks

Nomination. papers we're started in
Amador county last week, and in a short
time this business will be in full swing
for state county and township offices.
The first petition was that of Charles F.
Curry, candidate for the republican nom
ination for governor William Dau-
gherty was the deputy in charge of the
matter, and had no difficulty in getting
signers. We have not heard of any
other petitions for state offices so far.
Congressman Engebrght has also
taken steps to circulate petitions for
signatures in this county He has ap-
pointed DR. Gall, chairman of the re
publican county central committee, to
take charge of his petition in this
county. Nomination blanks have been
printed, and placed in the hands of DR.
Gall and they will be circulated forth
with. He is candidate for renomina-
tion on the republican ticket for con-
gress. He has no opponent in his own
party so far Judge Raker of Modoc
county is an apirant on the democratic
side, and will likely secure the nomi-
nation.
The Ledger Office has ready printed
blanks for nomination and deputies,
Aspirants for nomination can secure all
necessary blanks at this Office at nomi-
nal cost. We wish to impress upon
republican candidates the fact that it is
no part of the county business to fur
nish blanks for party nominations, and
it would be extremely unwise to accept
such at the expense of the general tax
PAYERS. Don't put club in the hands
of political opponents by placing your
selves in a position to be charged with
imposing upon the county treasury in a
matter so trifling. even though the free
of charge offer of nomination blanks be
rendered. The direct primary law
imposes heavy additional cost upon the
county in the printing of ballots and the
cost of a primary election, and every
candidate will do we'll to steer clear of
any imputation of causing any expense
not expressly sanctioned by law.

COXEY
Says He Is Getting His
Second Wind


New York, Nov. 7--General Coxey
is in town, the same Coxey who led
the great army of unemployed in

was put in Jail for 1t, but who has
come back.
The general is stopping at the Wal.

seems to feel he needs more money,
and he is at present In New York to
try to get it from the financial dis
trict, which he hates with all his soul.

he said today. "The only difference
is that / am not so lonely In them
now. Sixteen years ago was radical
and they put me in. Jail. Now / am
just an insurgent. The emergency
currency law put in force last year
was Coxey idea with the name of
Aldrich stuck to it."
The general, who in private life is
Jacob Sleicher Coxey, declares that
he is out of politics, but he does not
hesitate to express himself against
the old parties.
Roosevelt and Bryan are both four
flushers," he said. "There must be a
new Independent party movement. 1t
must get after the big ideas. What's
the use of wasting time in talking of
conservation? Conservation, thunder!
There's nothing left to conserve. They
have stolen it all. There will be a
chance for the grafters in power this
fall, but that won't be enough.

"The money issue is the only issue
that counts. Hollering about the tar
iff is like digging for "a woodchuck
when you are hunting a coon.
Bryan killed the Populist party by
pretending to preach it's principles.
Now that another popular awakening
IS on the way, Roosevelt is doing the
same thing for it.
If put my scheme through I'll have
more money than eight men ought
to have. Then I'll educate the peo-
pie. haven't quit this fight, I'm only
