has constantly been attempting 10 BE-
little Mr. Morehead By charging tia,
be II tool OF Marion Butler. and
that be viii hare 20 take orders from
him. and also By making other alb
surd. senseless. and asxinine utter
ances. But we must say that we are
a little surprised TO see the Durham
Herald and the Greensboro Record
two papers Who have always before
occupied a plane much higher than
the News and Observer-get down To
the level OF that paper in this In
stance.
In this connection, we have Just
two observations TO make. One is,
that Mr.. Butler has never attempted
TO give orders to anybody. and he has
never turned against any political as
sociate and attempted to "rend him. "
except those who have betrayed their
understanding or compact with him
on a matter where principle was in
volyed. We challenge any one, Dem
ocrat or Republican, to controvert
this statement in a single instance.
The other observation that We de-
sire to submit, in this connection, is
that any one who knows Mr.. More
head, knows that he cannot be die
tated to by any one. Those who are
making these charges know it as well
as We do, and they can have but one
purpose in making the charges, and
that is to be offensive to Mr.. More
head. But we submit that they will
learn later, if not sooner, that this
kind of a TRADE on Mr. Morehead
will not only not hurt him, but that
it will react upon the heads of those
who are guilty of such conduct
The editor of the Hickory Demo-
which the Raleigh News and OBJ
server and other papers are making
in this respect, and in a recent ed
itorial, says:
1T is no use for us Democrats
to sheer at Morehead as being
Buffers man Friday. He is
clean, able man." etc.
That paper then proceeds to warn
the Democratic party that instead of
sneering at Mr.. Morehead, as above
indicated, that they had better get
busy, because the supremacy of the
Democratic party was endangered by
Mr.. Morehead's election.

A CRUMBLING OLD PARTY

One by one the signs indicate the
dlslntegration of the Democratic
party in North Carolina. In conven-
ton after convention rival factions
fought, not alone in a parliamentary
sense, but literally, in some cases
with chairs and pistols and, in one

ing city had to be hurried by train

sible murder.
There is we'll developed spirit of
revolt against the domination of the
self-selected bosses, who have lost
the old appeals to prejudice and
class hatred. TIE voters are alive and
awake, they know their needs and
they are going to have them.
In several counties. notably in the
past few days, Iredell, the reasonable
demands of the people met with such
a curt reception that the formation

In Wake County, the fraud and
Misrepresentation of a certain wing
of the Democracy has so disguised

nees of that party is practically GER

they resent unfair play. In the re-
cent campaign here the half-truths.
more harmful and more dangerous
than actual lies, are beginning to re-
act on the heads of those who told
them. Moreover, the organ OF tie
dominant wing of that party is now
discovering, if indeed it has already
not done so. that abuse, villification
and SANDER cannot be forgotten
merely at the wave of the hand of
the editor of that paper. The neon,e
have long memories.

WHAT is THE NATTER?

In our news columns this week we
publish an account of an addition to
the State Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb at Morganton, capable of &C
commodating one hundred addition
al students, that lies idle and useless
for lack of funds to furnish it, while
considerable more than the number
of prospective students of this UNI
fortunate class await admission, It
will be year at least before this de-
plorable condition can be remedied
by legislation.
Last week we published an account
of an unfortunate insane woman
from this county, afflicted with sui
cidal mania for whom application
was made to the Central Hospital for

refused on the grounds that there
was no ROOM" AS consequence,
the poor creature is now held in the
public Jail of Wake, subject to the
confinement and lack of medical care
and attention that she should re-
celve. And this in the face of the
fact that the State of North Caro-
lima in the last few years expended
on this institution five hundred thou
sand dollars-one-half of a million
dollars-which was supposed to pro-
vide amply for the care of those most
unfortunate of Gods creatures for
years to come.

FAIR-MINDED JOURNALISM.

1t is indeed refreshing to read q
really accurate report of the pro-
ceedings of any Republican meeting
or convention in a Democratic pa
per.
In our news columns we re-print
from the Goldsboro Record, a paper
that can hardly be charged with be-
ing Republican, report of the pro-
ceed1ngs of the Republican State
and Third Congressional Conven-
lions. We wish that we had the
space to give the reports in full, for.
for accuracy, real news and a re-
spectful heed to the real newspaper
sense, they are excellent.
1t is a matter of Generalization
that our papers are growing fairer
in this respect and that distorted &C
counts that in reality do not accom-
plish the purpose for which they are
written, /. e., to deceive the reader,
are growing less. This is right and
proper, for the reading public is en-
titled to the facts they occur and not
as viewed by the politically-jaundiced
eye of some writer.
We congratulate the Goldsboro
Record and heartily hope that its
tribe may increase.

STILL POLITICAL TWINS,

Ever since it was announced that
Chairman Morehead had secured the
consent of Vice-President Sherman
to deliver several speeches in North
Carolina during the present cam
paign, the Raleigh News and Obser-
yer has devoted much of it's space in
abusing and attempting to be1ittle
the second highest officer in this, the
greatest nation on earth. Nothing
else, of course, was to be expected
from such a partisan and unfair pa
per as that Democratic machine or
gan.
1t is noticeable, however, that the
Asheville Gazette-News, the organ OF
the old referee system, which has just
been overthrow by such a decisive
majority, has Joined the Raleigh
News and Observer in it's TRADE of
abuse of Vice-President Sherman.
If we are correctly informed, GER
tain prominent Republicans in North
Carolina, or men who were promi-
nent and influential before the last
State Convention, are large stock
holders in the Asheville Gazette-News
and probably own a majority of it's
stock. It was natural for the Ashe
vile Gazette-News, considering who
It's owners are, TO champion the
cause Of the ''bosses of the referee
system" before the Republican State
Convention, but it is passing strange
that a paper, which could be con-
trolled and used as an organ of the
machine bosses, should to-day be try
ing to out-Herod Herod in it's abuse
Of the Vice-President of the United
States.
1t is also very noticeable that the
Asheville Gazette News seems to be
more friendly to Mr.. Gudger. the
Democratic candidate for Congress,
than to Mr.. Grant, the Republican
candidate. The people of the Tenth
Congressional District, as well as the
people of the whole State, are taking
note of the present attitude of that
paper in this respect and are drawing
their own conclusions.
1t is also equally noticeable that
the Asheville Gazette-News has
adopted the tactics of the Raleigh
News and Observer in attempting to
mislead the people as to the meaning
Of the plank in the Republican State
platform declaring squarely and
without any conditions for the rule
Of the people. The editor of the
Asheville paper not only does this in
editorials, but he scans the News and
