could be charged The commission

LIE RoI EST MORT; WYE LTRoI."

In accordance with the ancient
custom the announcement of the
death of the late King OF England
was coupled with the announcement
OF the accession of his successor
Thus the duly appointed heralds. al
certain places, made announcement
in the words at the head OF this ar
ticle. which In English means: THE
king is dead; long live the king"
The old ruler passes; the new ruler
comes. There is no change in the
affairs of the nation, simply the ex-
changing of the name OF one person
for another. That is all.
There is a striking similarity In
the proposed change in Wake Coun-
ty politics. Here the announcement
of the heralds is. Down with the
Ring; up with the combine. There is
to be no change in the conduct OF the
affairs of the county, simply the
change in personnel of the gang that
is to rule. That is all.
How long the people of England
propose to put up with the sham and
mockery of such proceedings is no
concern of ours. But how long the
people of Wake County propose to
put up with the sham and mockery
confronting them is a vital matter
with US. The set of bosses on the
one side look as bad as the bosses on
| the other. They are all after the
flesh pots.
The sham, the shame, the hypoc-
racy of it all. How long will the peo-
pie endure it?
| We believe, and we believe that
the thinking, honest element in the
Democratic party agree with US, that
the true remedy is to cast out the
whole crowd. By mighty purgine
the Democratic party may regain
some degree of confidence and re
spect, but not until then. Let the
Republican party get together, nomi
nate good men, strong men, men il
whom the people have confidence
and they will cleanse the courthouse
of the present brood that rest there
and prevent the gang that seeks tt
gain control by a misleading polio!
from getting control of the county
affairs.

THE SOUTH AND THE TARIFF.

If the Democratic party proposes
to use the tariff as a campaign issue
this fall, they had better seek better
fields than the South in the search
for votes.
The South was never more pros
porous than at the present time, and
this under tariff bill of Republican
enactment. Prices for farm products
were never higher, under normal con-
ditions, than at the present. The
farmer is at last back into his own
position as the backbone of the ma
ton, which under Democratic rule,
and the fear of it, he was so long de-
prived. The people of the South,
and indeed of the nation generally,
have not forgotten the days when the
Democratic party controlled both the
legislative and executive branches of
the government and before tariff leg

porting thousands who were anxious
for employment and the price of
farm products, cotton in particular,
lower than the cost of production,
even in that era of low prices.
A favorite Democratic dogma, the
fallacy of which has been so often
disproved that it is a wonder they
attempt to fool people with it time
and again, is that high tariff causes
hard times. There is a high tariff
In effect now, there has been one in

ministration.

olutions. This was done by the selec-
ton of one from each township,
headed by Mr.. Clarence Poe, of Raj
eigh. One delegate then proposed
the selection of five representatives
from each township to name candi-
dates, but Mr.. Daniels opposed this
and it was not done. Nominations
were then begun for officers to be
elected at the June primary. o. K.
Holden, of Wake Forest, placed in
nomination DR.. E. w. Skies, a pro-
lessor at Wake Forest College, for
State Senator. This was seconded
by Mr.. n. B. BrOughton, who dec1ar-
ed in his speech that while DR.. Skies
was at present unknown, before cleo
ton he would be known from Cher
rituck to Cherrissee," evidently in
tending to use the familiar figure of
speech from Currituck to Cherokee. :"
At any rate, it amused the meeting,
and on motion, Dr. Skies was nomi-
mated as the choice of the meeting
for Senator, by reclamation. He was
called to the platform and responded
in grateful tones for the honor. He
said that he had never taken an act
i've part in political affairs, but that
he proposed to do so now. He said
that the Democrats who had been
running the county deserved to be
turned out of office. He was given
a hearty hand-clapping by the audi
ence, few of whom seemed to know
who he was.
Nominations for the legislative
ticket being in order, Mr.. Daniels
placed in nomination Mr.. E. r. Pace
Walter Clark, Jr., city attorney of

OUR VISITING NEIGHBOR, THE
COMET.

Halley's comet, which last visited
US seventy-siX years ago, paid us
rather a close return call on yester-
day. 1t is estimated that the head of
the comet came within two million
miles of the earth, and that, begin
ming at II O'Clock on last night, and
for the next six or seven hours, it
brushed it's tail all over and around
the earth. Astronomers had predict
ed that there would have been quite
a halo of light or another appear
ance of the falling of the stars, as
people saw in 1885, had not the
moon been shining brilliantly at the
time.
The fears of many people had been
aroused that the comet might run
squarely into the earth, and that life
and vegetation might be killed, or at
least damaged by deadly gases and
doors in the tail of the comet. Be-
sides, some astronomers have made
predictions that there might be some
possible danger of such a calamity:
but that is now all in the past In
this connection, however, we call at
tention to the fact that since this
celestial body last made us a visit, in
1885, that many important occur
rences in the worlds history have
transpired.
The Worlds Work, in an editorial
in this months issue, on thiss ubject,
says:
When the sky was last ablaze
with the amazing glory of Hal
ley's comet, Africa was an I'M
known continent, Asia was a
land of mystery, Japan a hermit
nation. There was no German
Empire, no Kingdom of Italy.
Texas and California belonged
to Mexico. There was no mile
of railroad on the continent of
Europe. The world had not
heard the name Of Morse, or of
Darwin. Yet the people of 1885
knew that the comet was coming
just as we'll as we know it. But
on its visit next before that, it
came unexpected except by the
few who accepted the strange
prediction of Edmund Haley"

THE State press seems to be
pretty evenly lined up in the
matter OF the Raleigh row. The
particular champions for Daniels
and Bailey seem to be the Mon
roe Journal and Charity and
Children, though the latter has
no more to say than that what
ever side Daniels and Bailey are
On, must be the right side. The
Monroe paper calls the opposi-
ton to Daniels and Bailey hood
lumism, and says of the situa-
ton: We have here the OBJ
vious example of the worst form
OF politics that is cursing Amer
lea The Chronicles idea of it
is that there is absolutely moth
ing on either side to the Wake
County rucus that could call for
commentator or defense. 1t Is
simply a rotten apple cut in
halves" - Charlotte Chronicle
(Democratic).
The Caucasian publishes the above
in view of Mr.. Bailey's remark in his
speech Saturday that the Republican
press would be glad to see the ring"
of the Wake Democrats win. This
Is not true, certainly not so far as
this paper is concerned. AS a
Democratic politician once remark
ed: There's no choice between
split fish," so in this case, to use the
figure Of speech of the Chronicle, we
do not care for rotten apples. Either
half would taste bad as the other.
1t is an ugly mess, at best, and so
far as the Republicans are concern
ed, we have no hand in it. The JUS
tice Of the attitude of the Republican
party and its platform is being abun-
dainty proven by the present row in
the ranks Of the Democracy, when
one wing adopts the Republican plank
favoring the placing of the county Of
ficials on a salary basis and the other
wing being understood, through their
organ, to favor local self-government
another Republican plank.
It Is a situation calculated to make
people sit up and take notice. II
they want to eat the other half of the
rotten apple that they have beer
munching on, we'll and good: but We
confidently believe that they will pre-
fer the good, sound pippin of Repub.
licanism.

There comes a time every
now and then when there must
be a party housekeeping. That
time has come in Wake County.
The Democratic machine that
governs the county has no
thought except to keep in pow
er. 1t cares for roads only to
please favorites and make votes.
It has never taken any interest
in education. It is chiefly re-
sponsible for debauching the
suffrage. In score OF petty
ways it outrages the rights of
the people for the small coterie
it favors. People will not vote
bonds or larger tax for roads
because they know that politics
will dictate the expenditure by
which much will be wasted. No
body ever heard of any of the
machine favoring schools, and
yet they wish to dominate the
school boards. Politics selfish
and small politics-is permitted
to sacrifice the real interests of
the people. Long lease of power
has made them arrogant and
they make appeal chiefly to vice
and cupidity."

each township TO help him and Dan
iels form a ring of their own
Professor Skies, the anti-ring candi-
date for the State Senate. says he has
never taken any part in politics and
knows nothing of the game. Well.
the Professor is now in a position to
learn a whole lot he never knew be-
fore.
Professor Skies says he is not a
Bell Weather Of Democracy" But,
he may wish he was when he goes up
against some of the bell weathers on
the ring side.
J. Willie Bailey will food Wake
County for forty days and forty
nights He will then probably send
out a dove TO look for the olive
branch.
Mr.. Bailey referred to the ring as
the "discredited and broken-down
Democratic machine" If it is as
poorly as that it would seem a
shame to fight it.
| And again, Bailey said il would
not hurt the Democratic party to shed
its skin. Mr.. Bailey is quite right,
and the Republicans will put Wake
Democracy in the hole in November
and give it plenty Of time to shed its
skin and otherwise purify itself.
When the speakers mentioned de-
feating the Wake County ring there
was always loud applause, but when
reference was finally made to de-
| feating the Republicans in November
the applause was very weak. They
either had their doubts about their
ability to defeat the Republicans, or
thought it would not be so bad for
the Republicans to win anyway.
One of the leading speakers in the
mass meeting said several Democrats
had told him that it had been mighty
hard for them to vote the Democratic
ticket for several years. Our only
surprise is, that they have allowed
themselves to vote that way when
their conscience told them better.
|
1t is understood that the Wake
ring" is busy getting up biogra-
phies of the candidates named by
the "anti-ring" mass meeting.
If the combines forces haven't
any one to buy and steal votes for
them, how can they hope to win out
against the ring if their charges
against the ring are true?
Truth will slip out. When some
one mentioned Willard Mails name
for the legislature a thoughtless del
egate yelled, Hold on, we've got
him slated for something else"

Der of the executive committee who

In making his speech of accept
ance before the Wake mass meeting
Saturday Prof. Skies told his support
ers that they were as much respon-
sible for the condition of affairs in
Wake County as was the ring which
they were fighting. And the pro-
lessor ought to know.
