Our List is Growing, But We Still
Need Some Help-What a Few
Friends of the Paper Are Doing.
We are still pulling for ten thou
sand subscribers and we hope each
and every friend of the paper will do
all they can to aid us in securing that
number. Some of the friends of the
paper are doing their full share, for
which We are very grateful. We have
agents at work, but our friends can
reach some that even our agents
could not secure. The writer was
talking with friend on the streets
In Raleigh Saturday and this friend
within fifteen minutes time, and
without any suggestion on our part,
secured four new yearly subscribers
for US. A friend in the western part
of the State has sent us thirteen new
subscribers, as he said he wanted the
people to see what The Caucasian
was saying. (Now thirteen may be
unlucky on some occasions, but not
on this one, as any one will agree
with us that thirteen subscribers are
better than twelve.) One of our old
subscribers who had thought of stop
ping his paper, not only renewed
when the time was out last week, but
went out and got a new subscriber
and sent us, just to compensate for
ever allowing himself to entertain
such thought as stopping the paper.
Now, II every friend of the paper
would send US just one new subscrib-
er it would put us away over the
mark and then we could enlarge the
paper and put our time and attention
to making still further improvements
in the paper.

The Raleigh Evening Times favors
free-text books in the public schools.
The Times is getting out of harmony
with its party. Senator Wray, of
Reidsville (Republican) introduced a
bill in the last Legislature providing
for free textbooks in the public
schools and the Democrats killed the
bill.

Therefore, it is not thought that the
Republicans will waste any time
there this year.
Although the Republicans have
troubles of their own, and factions
in their camp, they believe that they
will be united at the ballot box and,
knowing the Democrats as they do,
they do not think they will have to
oppose a united party.-H. E. c..

Major and his mule Bob have started
upon a journey to the North Pole,
and in his peculiar way will make

"yO DIPLOMATS FROM THE
SOUTH"

Under the above heading the Wash
ngton Herald. in an editorial las
says:
"A few weeks ago the Bureau
of Statistics stated that cotton
Is the largest item in the United
States bill of lading TO foreign
countries and shows an increase
of 1907. 100000
"A fine showing, indeed!
1T is surprising, however, to
find, in looking over the list OF
our ambassadors and ministers,
that not one of them, certainly
no one at post Of the least i'm
portance comes from a Southern
State-the South embraced with
in the old lines of the Southern
Confederacy.
From our diplomatic life the
South is now completely ostra-
ciZed, despite the fact that she
contributes the largest item to
our foreign commerce. Is it right
that this should be so? OF
course, the President, who is SO
friendly to the South. has not
brought about such a result in
tentionally. It is clearly an
oversight upon his part and upon
the part of our very able and pa
triotic Secretary of State, and
we venture to mention it only In
the hope that in course of time,
at least, representation will be
given to a section which has in
the past contributed SO much
and so brilliantly to our diplo-
matte history"
What the Herald says is only toe
rue, and it is difficult to understand
Why it is so in view of Presiden
Taft's expressed friendly disposition
.owards the South.
North Carolina had one Foreign
Minister under the last administra
ion, and now has none. There mus
De cause for this; but there is only
one cause that occurs to The eau
;asian as an explanation, and that is
hat the Republican party in North
Carolina, unfortunately, is represent.
I'd by a so-called organization that
las no desire and makes no effort tc
secure representation for the State
n the Cabinet or in the diplomatic
ield. The trouble with the Republic
an organization in North Carolina
Gems to be that every one of the
BOSSES is a candidate for something
or himself, and that he cannot bear
o have any one else considered fol
important positions until he is Der
onally provided for.
In the opinion of The Caucasian
the party in North Carolina was
represented by leaders who were try
ng to build up the party and make
he State Republican, then a Repub-
lean Circuit Judge in the East would
AVE been appointed instead of Judge
'onnor, and North Carolina would
AVE at least one place in the Cabinet
n foreign diplomatic post.
When the party places at it's head
men too small themselves to fill such
POSITIONS, and men who are deter
mined that nobody else shall be SUD-
'orted for such positions until they
ave first themselves secured a soft
erth, no better result can be expect
d. What will the next State Con-
ention do about it?

While we do not know that
the tariff is causing the high
prices, we will never know that
it is not so until we try the 9TH

You tried the other thing under
Cleveland and the people almost
starved. Only the money-lenders and
sharks thrived during that period.
We do not believe the people want a
return of those days.

ed Judge P. B. Gillett because,
they said, he did not adjourn court
when Senator Bristow spoke here
last week. They referred to the
fact that when Tom Wagstaff, the
Standpat candidate for Governor was
here last February. he adjourned
court and surrendered the court
room, anI they complained that he

without foundation. Judge Gillett
was at the Bristow meeting in his

a hole through the floor when the
Senator talked democracy, but like
other Republicans who have been
wrong on the tariff question "sence

gracefully.
And the Bristow meeting COM

The Alva foot ball team contend
ed with the Barber County High
School team on the Medicine Lodge
gridiron on Saturday, and it result
ed similarly to the Anthony-B. c. H.
S. game the previous week-0 to 0.
The Alva giants, like the An
thonyites, had our boys "going"
so far as weight was concerned but
the home team amply overcame that
handicap in science and grit. 1t was
fortunate for Alva that time was
callQ1 when it was. The B. C. H.
S. boys were making rapid gains
and few more minutes would have
made them victors.
But the Alva boys are a nice lot,
a little given to boasting, it is true,
but they will outgrow that.

How to Teach Politics

Miss Woodward has hit upon a
good scheme for teaching politics
to the boys of her Sth grade. She
offers a quarter-holiday to the boy
that will go to hear a political
speech.
She says she is not interested in
any special party. What she de-
sires is to get the boys to thinking
about the questions of the day-to
thinking about the various ques-
tions confronting our government to
set these boys to gathering informa-
tion that will enable them easily to
take a stand on politics when they
are 21.
The first to take advantage OF
this offer were Lee Robinson, Earl
Dilwith, Alva Garner, and Willie
Pfaff They went to hear Senator
Bristow at Kiowa.
Willie Afford went to Kiowa Sat
urday to hear G. A. Neeley.-Hazel-
ton Herald.

A Small Blaze

VIM. Curtis's barn in the south
part of the city was destroyed by
fire on Sunday afternoon. The fire
was started by his little daughter,
Thelma, who, unknown by her par
ents, played with matches at the
barn. When it was discovered that
the barn was on fire there was no
possibility of putting the fire out,
and for few moments EFT Chance s
house one lot to the north, was
threatened A spark from the burn
ing building alighted on the roof
of Mr.. Chances house but by that
time there was a crowd of people on
hand and the roof of the house was
quickly and thoroughly drenched
with water.
BY the time the hose cart arrived
the fire had almost run it's course.
Aside from a small amount OF
corn, there was nothing in the barn.
A buggy was removed by Miss Mabel
Chance who was one of the first to
discover the fire.

Obituary of Anna Louise McComb

Anna Louise McComb was born
in Miami county, Ohio, in 1886. At
the age of twelve years she left
the place of her nativity and re-
moved to Champaign county, Illinois
In that home she was married April
4, 1856 to Cyrus c. McComb. For
twenty-seven years Illinois was their
home. but in 1883 they removed to
Wellington, Kansas, and two years
later to Aetna, Kansas. From Act
ma, Mr. and Mrs. McComb removed
to Oklahoma, when in November,
1907, Mrs. McComb laid her COM
panion to rest. From that time she
made her home with her only child,
Mrs. ]. B. Johnson, of Aetna, Kan
sas, where on October 18th, the call
came to go to her eternal home
"A house not made with hands eter-
nal in the heavens"
Having given her heart to God in
early life, and uniting with the Bap-
tist church, hers was a life of prep
aration for the final call home, a
life of patience, cheer and helpful
ness. Among her last words
were: 'I am ready to co.

Instantly Killed

Clyde Donley, the 15-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Donley, who
reside seven miles southeast of this
city on the former Alex Harris
farm, was killed by accidental
shooting on Sunday afternoon. He
and a neighbor boy, John Young,
who was about two years his senior,
had been out hunting together. Up
on returning home they seated
themselves to rest about half mile
from the Donley home. Clyde took
the cartridges out of his gun and
John did the same but, unknowtng-
ly, left one of the cartridges in. The
Donley boy playfully lifted his gun,
pointed it at the Young boy and
jokingly said, "I'll bet 1 can shoot
you first" at the same time pulling
the trigger. The Young boy then
picked up his gun, thinking it was
also unloaded, and pulled the trig-
ger and the entire load was dis
charged into the Donley boys
dDuOHlSHJ dI IuS PIT VI IuS SIOHAhSh'
Dr.Johnson of this city was phon-
ed but when he reached the scene
of the accident the boy was dead.
Reports differ. Some say the boy
lived only five minutes after
the shooting, while others say he
lived nearly an hour.
The funeral was held on Monday
and the body inferred in the Sharon
cemetery.
Mr.. Donley and family are prac-
tical strangers herA They purchas-
ed the Harris farm last spring, and
have lived here only since that time
Their sorrow, combined with the
great shock that this accident brings
to them, calls forth the most pro-
found sympathy of the entire com
munity, and all the warning that
can be given to boys who handle
guns, will avail nothing to the ag.
grieved parents who can not be held
responsible. Boys will be boys and
none OF US know what hour the
same sad visitation may come to us

The Facts in MacGregor Tax Case.


My attention has been called to
the article written by G. NJ. Martin
in last weeks Cresset concerning
the part taken by County Attorney
Seward 1. Field in the MacGregor
tax case. AS chairman of the Board
of County Commissioners, wish to
state that this contract was return
ed for taxation March 1st, 1909, In
stead of 1908, as stated by Mr..
Martin. The statement that Mr..
Field appeared before the Board
June 1st, 1909, representing Mr..
MacGregor is incorrect. Mr.. Mac
Gregor presented his own case at
that time, as 1 recollect it, but he
was not represented by Mr.. Field.
The statement that Mr.. Field ap-
pealed the case to the State Tax
commission for Mr. MacGregor is
also mistake. Mr.. MacGregor was
represented in the appeal by Noble
& Tincher, Mr.. Noble appearing be-
fore the State Board at Topeka in
person. The State Board dismissed
the appeal and it came back before
our board again, where Mr.. Mac
Gregor was again represented by
Noble & Tincher. Noble & Tinch-
er then brought an injunction
against the county, and Mr. Field
defended the county's interests in a
hard fought case and was successful
in the litigation. Personally, 1 am
entirely satisfied with Mr.. Fields
handling of the case for the coun-
ty, and I believe this is the unani-
nous sentiment of the Board.
