The fraud and corruption perpe-
trated. by the Democratic ring In the
recent primaries held In Baltimore
are still being Investigated by a
grand jury that was empannelled for
that purpose. Governor Crothers. of
Maryland, was urged by many TO call
a special session OF the Legislature 10
thrash out the matter, but tt1e States
attorney urged the Governor 20 wait
and allow the grand jury to probe
the matter, and this course will be
followed unless 1t is found that the
grand jury is unable to cope with
the situation.
Fraud has been unearthed in sew
enty-eight precincts and seventy
eight judges of election and clerks
have been indicted by the grand jury
and the investigation has only fairly
begun. While only indictments for
the judges and clerks have been
drawn thus far, it has been strongly
intimated the investigation will go
higher up and that some of the more
prominent Democratic politicians may
be caught in the net. 1t is very
probable that some of the candidates
who won out in the primary will be
forced to retire and their opponents
placed on the ticket instead.

The officials of Robson County
are all mixed up about the term of
court to be held in Lumberton next
week. 1t seems that while the Rep
resentatives from Robson were not
looking, the last Legislature abolish
ed the October term of court for
Robson and gave the time to some
other county. Cases have been made
returnable to the October term -
and while court will be held in Lum-
berton next week, it appears that the
Governor will have to order it a spe-
call term in order to avoid the ques-
ton of validity of cases to be heard
Another case of where Democratic
good government has bungled the
job.

SIMMONS ORGAN FELL DOWN

A few days ago it was stated in
the News and Observer that DR.. Geo.
T. Winston had announced that he
favored Simmons for United States
Senator because Simmons could do
more for the State than all the other
candidates put together.
That news doubtless sounded good
to the Greensboro News, which new
er misses an opportunity to boost
Simmons. But it seems that the
News correspondent, in his eager
ness to boost Simmons, came forth
with a premature statement; in fact,
with a statement that did not ma
ture at all-for DR.. Winston comes
forward with the statement that he
does not favor Simmons, but on the
other hand, thinks that Ex-Governor
Aycock is the choice of the flock.
It's a shame to disappoint the
Greensboro News in any such man
ner.

FOREWARNED SHOULD MEAN

Yesterdays Charlotte Observer
published an interview with a promi-
nent manufacturer of that town, that
contained some points of special in
terest. The interview, in part, fol-
lows:
'Mr. r. M. Miller returned several
days ago from Manchester, VT,
where he attended the convention of
the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers, in semi-annual ses-
sion there. Mr.. Miller is a member
OF the board of governors of the ma
tional body and responded to the ad-
dress of welcome of Governor Mead.
I'm talking OF the convention yes
terday Mr.. Miller stated that the ma
jority OF the manufacturers. who
were heard to express themselves,
voiced their pleasure as the result of
the refusal of the Canadian people to
accept reciprocity. 1t was thought,
too, that the failure of reciprocity
will help the manufacturers in their
tariff campaign.
'Mr. Miller added that Chairman
II. G. Emery and Judge William M.
Howard, of the tariff board, were
both present at the convention, and
that they made a splendid impression
upon the members in their explana-
ton of the duties of the tariff board,
which were greatly appreciated. Pro-
lessor Emery explained in clear-cut
and concise manner the details of the
work of the tariff board and showed
concisely just what was in view.
As to the Underwood measure. Mr..
Miller stated that the manufacturers
assembled agreed with the Southern
manufacturers that the bill was
drastis and radical and that no
proper opportunity was given for the
manufacturers to show up their side
OF the case"
IL the manufacturers were afraid
OF reciprocity, they should now all
set TO work to head on Democratic
tree trade. and that Is what the coun-

Very true. and the situation is bad
enough as IL Is.
And would cotton have been sell
ing so low II the Democratic Con-
gress had not "monkeyed" with the
cotton schedule? But suppose the
Democrats should capture both
Houses of Congress and elect Demo
cratic President next fall, and Demo
cratic free trade should cause cotton
to drop TO four and five cents a
pound as 1t did under Cleveland ad-
ministration? Some may say, But
the cost of living would be cheaper
and would not cost as much to raise
a crop Of cotton then. But, suppose
under those conditions it cost only
seven cents a pound to raise cotton
which the farmer had to sell at five
cents a pound, it would not take an
expert mathematician to figure out
that it would not take the farmer
long to go bankrupt. And what
would become of the mill men and
mill operatives, even if the cost of
living had been reduced. No matter
how cheap the cost of living might be
they certainly could not buy the nee
essaries of life if they did not have
the price.
The farmer, the mill man and the
mill operative had better fight shy of
Democratic free trade if they wish to
keep the wolf from the door. Re

Wilmington Dispatch (Dem.)l
The fact that the prohibition law
is being fagrantly violated in Will
mington is evidently being widely
talked of around the State, Judging
first by newspaper comments and now
by communication, as seen by Satur-
days issue of the Raleigh News and
Observer. That there has been a
number of murders in Wilmington
within eight Or nine months is also
being somewhat extensively talked
of. 1t is indeed regrettable that
there is cause for either, and it
should not only be the desire, but
the determination of law-abiding citi-
zens to eradicate such causes. How
ever, we want to respectfully suggest
to the public at large that there are
quite a number of other places in
North Carolina-in fact, many-that
are no better than Wilmington, even
if not worse.
The prohibition laws are being vio-
lated all over North Carolina and it
| raises a great question before the
people. It is one that demands at
tention and, first of all, it calls for a
big bunch of the hypocritical getting
their own consciences straight and
rectifying their ways They are as
much to blame, if not more so, for
| the violations of the prohibition laws
as anything We know of. The man
who voted for prohibition and orders
1t from away, or patronizes the blind
tigers, land the fact that social clubs
are allowed to exist for the rich and
| the moderately rich, while the man
of means is proclaimed an outcast
all go towards making violations OF
the prohibition law, and not only de.
ter the moral effect, but even keep
the question away from practicable
| ity.
One OF the most amusing things
| OF all, though it had an air of pa
thos about it, was the last Legisla-
fture, presumably prohibition to the
core, twisting around until it viewed
prohibition as regulation, to the
extent of fixing it so a favored few
could get their drinks whenever
wanted.
But back to the Wilmington situa.
ton: Undoubtedly the law should
be observed here and it should be the
effort Of all to uphold the law. We
admit, too. Wilmington has had many
murders, averaging two a month
(nearly all among the colored PEG.
pie, however, showing murderous
brand of blind tiger booze being
absorbed by them) since January
but how about other places?
The prohibition law is being vio-
lated at other places. Only last Mon
day, Charlotte's Recorder had eight
cases of drunkenness before him. We
do not say this to draw an ugly COM
parison, or to gloat over it, because
We know Of no grander, greater peo-
pie in the world than Charlotte folks,
but we make the parallel in justice
to Wilmington and to show the big
problem that confronts practical peo-
pie.
Now what else? We do not 60 be-
yond day, and yet we find crime
and violations OF prohibition in many
places.

News and Observer and in that one
issue what did we find? Item No. I
