FOR LOCAL SELE-GOVERNaiENT
AND VICTORY.

The Republican party In North
Carolina has always stood for local
self-government, which is the first
and great fundamental principle un-
derlying the rule of the people.
The Democratic party for a num-
Der OF years pretended to champion
the same doctrine. but in practice 1t
supported the principle only in a
half-hearted way, and then finally
deserted it entirely. The Republican
party in its last State platform, for
the first time, straddIed or hedged in
support OF this principle. If it had
stood sQuarely for it the party would
have polled at least ten or fifteen
thousand more votes. and probably
would have polled more, and swepl
the State. For some unexplained
reason. the patronage machine IA,
Yored and supported the straddling
of that plank. Its action was either
controlled by incapacity to appreciate
the situation or else by a desire K
prevent Republican victory, to sa!
nothing of the desertion of the grea
principle to which the party hat
been always committed.
II the rank and file of the peopl
turn out and control the next Stat
Convention and declare unequivocal
ly for local self-goyernment, we be
lieVe that victory can be secured, blu
to do this. it is necessary for the PEG
pie who want victory to control tn
Convention, and to accomplish this
it is first necessary to unhorse tn
patronage machine bosses.

FEDERAL AND STATE ANTI
TRUST LAWS.

Almost every day the press Is an
nouncing the suits which the Nation
al Republican administration has in
stituted or is pressing against the
great trusts of the country for violat-
ing the National antitrust laws.
Many such suits, including the suits
against the Standard Oil Company
and the American Tobacco Company
are now pending before the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The people of the State must not
forget that there is on the statute
books of North Carolina an antitrust
law passed by a Democratic Legisla-
ture, but can any one point to sim
gle suit brought by the Attorney
General of North Carolina to enforce
these antitrust laws? What is the
matter with the State antitrust law

COnvicts Burn Out of Jail-Deputy
Sheriff Has Close Call.

Elizabeth City. N. c., March O.
Word was brought here this morning
of an exciting time at Camden court
house last night.
About $50 o'clock the county Jail
was set on fire from the interior, and
before the citizens could do more
than rescue four prisoners, all the
woodwork of the building was burn
ed to the ground.
The prisoners were carried to the
courthouse, where they were to re-
main for the night, under guard.
Later in the night the guards fell
asleep. One of the prisoners, Fred
Johnson, grabbed Etheridge's gun
and shot at close range at Cart
right.
Deputy Sheriff Cartright opened
his eyes just in time to get a view
down the barrels Of the gun, and
when 1t was discharged he ducked
his head SO quickly that the shots
struck his hat only. and tore the
brim off.
Sheriff Cartright picked up his
gun and fred at the negro, filling
his right arm with buckshot and al
most severing it from his body. The
negro was brought here this morn
ing and his arm was amputated just
above the elbow.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS DEFEAT
INCOME TAX.

The astonishing news comes that
the Virginia Legislature, on last
Monday, refused to approve the
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
lions providing for an income tax
by a vote of 81 to 81. The press
reports give as the reasons ex-
pressed by the opponents of the
measure the following:
"The opponents were afraid
to trust the Republican party
with control of the revenue
from incomes; they remembered
the days of oppression follow
ing the civil war; they were
afraid Of Northern officials who
would examine into the private
affairs OF our citizens; they
feared that the amendment
would be surrender of the
rights Of the States
The reasons given by the f1fty-four
who voted against the amendment
make their action even more aston
ishing, If possible. The sum and
substance Of the opposition to the
income tax is that they are opposed
to an income tax unless there will
be Democratic National administra-
ton forever and hereafter.

NEYSHIP.
Does the Going of Skinner Mean
That Holton Will Go, AIso?-
What the District May Suffer.
Winston-Salem Journal.

Winston-Salem Journal
Herbert F. Seawell. of Carthage,
has landed. What does it mean?
Most probably that Adams and Dun
can and the ring are not yet down
and out and that the chances of Dis
trict Attorney Holton has waned in
the last few weeks. We have moth
ing against Mr.. Seawell. He is said
to be good lawyer, and his church,
when he was attacked, gave him a
clean bill of character. Col. Harry
Skinner. the deposed United States
Attorney of the Eastern District, was
also good man, and a more accom-
modating officer and polished gentle
man never prosecuted a case or went
out of his way to do the newspaper
man favor. We are sorry that
Colonel Skinner lost out, for he was
good attorney.
Is Mr.. Holton to lose out also? If
he is. he can stand it, because he is
in no danger of starving. But what
OF the district he so ably represents ?
Ii the present District Attorney is
not re-appointed, it will be no refec-
ton on him, because he has held the
Office for twelve years with credit to
the Government and honor to him
self.
For our part. we are not going to
believe that Spencer B. Adams will
get the appointment, until we see it
in print. And then we shall not be
sure of it until Senators Simmons
and Overman, who surely will pro-
test, are unsuccessful in good
cause.

A PERTINENT INQUIRY.

The Waynesville Western Caro-
lima Enterprise" in an editorial,
says:
1T Is interesting to note that
The GaZette-NeWs has been vol
uminously persistent in its at
tacks upon two Of the three Re-
publican Congressman from
North Carolina. Everybody
knows why the third member is
exempt. Do the rank and file
think this is making more Re-
publicans?"
AS the Enterprise says, everybody
knows why The Gazette, which is the
organ Of the pie-counter machine,
has been persistently attacking two
Republican Congressman from the
State and why the third member is
exempt" The Enterprise, along with
everybody else. has noted that the
patronage machine and it's organ
have not only been pursuing this
course persistently, but that the
Democratic press. approaching that
that position was against Republican
growth, has sympathized with it and
approved it's sentiments. Indeed, the
Raleigh News and Observer. the or.
gan of the Democratic machine, has
copied with approval almost every
such attack which has been made up
on Morehead and Grant. Therefore
we take it that the rank and file will
agree with the Enterprise that such
a policy is one that will not make
more Republicans. but is intended t.
make less Republicans.
The issue is squarely drawn. Ger
tain Republicans in North Carolins
want the party to pursue a progress
siVe policy and win victories in thu
State. Another element wants thu
party to grow smaller and to consis
simply of a small machine for /;
short division of Federal pie. TIL

must decide which course the Repub
lican party will pursue in the future

In his position In favor Of low tarin
duties, he would declare that one
Of. his reasons for being In favor OF
an income tax would be to tax the
swollen fortunes OF the country their
fair proportion to support the Gov
eminent, so as to rob the Republi-
cans of an excuse for maintaining
a high protective tariff.
The Democratic party has declared
time and again that 1t was In favor
of an income tar, and yet the first
time that the Virginia Democrats
have an opportunity to put this pro-
vision In the Constitution of the
United States and fx 1t forever. they
vote 1t down and give the most abb
surd reasons therefor that the hu-
man mind could conceive. To our
mind, there can be but one explana-
ton of such an action, and that La
that the enormous fortunes that
would contribute millions through an
income tax to support the Govern.
ment. and thus lessen the heavy bur
den of taxation upon the average cit
izen, has gotten control Of the Demo
cratic party In Virginia.

UNION FAvoRs PARCELS POST.
President Barrett Says 1t Would Be
q Great Boon to the Farmers
Could Have Their Merchandise De-
Hyered at Their Doors.

Charlotte Observer
The Farmers Union has now TAX
en- up the cudgel in behalf Of the
parcels post and President Barrett
has just issued a letter to the OFF,
GERS and members Of this strong Or
ganization urging it to get in behind
Congress" in behalf Of this important
matter. He declares that such sys-
tenn will result in immense advantage
to the farmer and also that the gov
eminent can be forced to give this
benefit if properly presented. The
following is the strong communica-
ton which the President Of the Union
has addressed on this issue:
To the officers and members of the
Farmers Union:
One of the things I insist that
members of the Farmers Union and
farmers generally should get in be-
hind Congress about is the parcels
post.
Year after year we have been striv-
ing to secure this legislation from
Congress. False promises from poll
ticians, the lobby maintained by the
express companies and, to an extent,
our own apathy have operated to
keep us out of this huge benefit.
The time has come to cease dilly-
dallying. Go after your Represen-
tative and Senator with a club. bury
him under an avalanche of letters,
telling him you want a parcels post
and that you are not going to let him
or yourself rest until you get it.
What is parcels post?
The answer is extremely simple.
A parcels post is system which
will make the government do for
packages over four pounds what it is
now doing for letters-carry them at
a reasonable rate with profit alike to
the manufacturer and the merchant,
the farmer and the consumer at
large.
| Let this fact sink into your mind.
The express companies, which now
have monopoly of the small carry
ing trade in the United States, are
getting on an average of sixteen cents
a pound for transporting packages.
Last year one Of them declared a
dividend of 800 per cent! Is it any
wonder, with cinch on the trans
portation Of small packages?
What 1t Will Do.
Now, what will a parcels post dc
for the government?
It will help wipe out that big pos.
tai deficit, about which Congress and
the newspaper editors are now rails.
ing such howl. It will transfer tC
the government a large part of the
patronage, and therefore profit, now
enjoyed by the private express mo
nopolies which are just about al
high-handed trusts as Standard Oh
or any other. It will prove a grow
ing and unfailing source of actua
revenue to the Treasury of the Unit
ed States.
What will a parcels post do TO,
the farmer?
J 1t will save him about rs per cen
a year on the charges he is now com
PEELED to pay the express companie,
for everything that travels in thei
cars.
The parcels post also has .
county feature. Under the plan pro
posed, the small town merchant will
be able to send out small package.
