CHAPTER TX.
IN OWN meeting was called for
the Dist of November.
With the summer boarders
- gone, the cranberry picking
finished, state election over, school
begun and under way and real winter
not yet upon us Bayport in the late
fall distinctly needs something to en-
liven it.
This year there were several ques-
tons to be talked over and settled at
town meeting. Two selectmen whose
terms expired were candidates for re-
election. Lem Myrick had resigned
from the school committee, not waiting
until spring, as he had announced that
he should do. Then there was the
usual sentiment in favor of better
roads and the usual opposition to it;
also there was the ever present hope
of the government appropriation for
harbor improvement.
Mr.. Tidditt was one Of the select
men whose terms expired. In his
dual capacity as selectman and town
clerk Asaph felt himself to be a very
important parsonage. To elect some
one else in his place would be, he was
certain, calamity which would stag
ger the township.
There had been much discussion con-
corning the school committee. Who
should be chosen to replace Mr.. My
rick on the board was the gravest
question to come before the meeting.
Many names had been proposed at
Simmons and elsewhere, but some of
those named had refused to run, and
others had not after further consid-
Grafton seemed the proper persons for
the office. In the absence of Mr.. At
kins Tad Simpson was our leader in
had been mute.
"Wait awhile" he said. There's
some weeks afore town meetin' day.
This is a serious business We can't
have no moreI mean no unsuitable
man to fill such an important place as
that. The welfare of our posterity,"
he added, and we all recognized the
quotation, depends upon the choice
that's to be made''
A choice was made, however, on the
very next day but one after this dec
laration. A candidate announced him
self. Asaph and Bailey hurried to the
Cy Whitaker place with the news.
Captain Cy was in the woodshed build
Ing doll house for Bos'n.
Mr.. Tidditt was all smiles.
'sWhat do you think, CyY' he cried.
1.-THE new school committee mans as
good as elected. Lonzo Shows goin'
to take it,
The captain laid down his plane.
fLonzo SnowT' he repeated. 'FYou
don't say! Humph! Well, welly'
eyes, STRIP exclaimed Bailey. Hes
come forward and says it's his duty to
do so. He
@Humph! His duty, hey? wonder
who pointed it out to him?"
''Wel1, don't know. But even Tad
Simpsons glad. He says that he
knows Heman will be pleased with
that kind Of a candidate and so he
won't have to do any more huntin'
He thinks Lonzo's comm out by him
self this way is kind of special prov
idence."
Eyes, yesI 1 shouldn't wonder. Did
you ever notice how dead sure Tad
and his kind are that Providence is
workin with 'em? Seems to me
'twould be more satisfactory If we
could get sight of the other partners

NOT INTOXICATED.

The Charlotte Observer asks the
following pointed and pertinent ques-
ton:
Has the Prohibition party
gone gu. of business, or is 1t
merely laid up with intoxication
on account OF the success OF the
cause it championed?"
The Observer is certainly able TO
answer its own question. 1t knows
that the Democratic State machine
has done all it could to kill the pro-
hibition party by pretending to steal
and adopt its platform as its own.
What could do the prohibition party
and it's cause more harm than to have
it swallowed up by the Democratic
party, and then have that party make
such miserable farce and failure of
prohibition in the State?
They have treated the prohibition
party as they did the Peoples Party
and the Farmers Alliance. The
Democratic machine pretended to be-
come converted by the whole Peoples
Party platform, and did this simply to
try to kill the Peoples Party. When
it had succeeded in discrediting that
party by pretending to become the
champion of it's principles, then at
once the Democratic party back
Sided.
In short, there is no reform that
the Democratic party endorses that
it does not betray and discredit.

The Caucasian will not make it's
appearance next week, as all the force
want a few days off during the
Christmas holidays. Every member
of the force has worked hard dur
ing the year and really deserve a
few days of pleasure and recreation.
We hope you have appreciated our
efforts for the past year and we
promise to exert all our efforts to
giving you even better paper in
1912.
The paper will be out on schedule
time again on January 4th and then
every week during the coming year.
We wish each and every one of our
readers a very merry Christmas and

AND UNJUST To
THE FARMERS.

The State Farmers Union, in It's
recent State Convention at Wilson,
declared against the plan Of relief
which a committee Of Southern Gov
errors worked out for a lot of Wall
Street bankers for financing the cot
ton crop.
It will be remembered that The
Caucasian gave a full account OF this
proposition at the time and proceeded
to show why it was Impractical, and
also why we believed it would not be
accepted by the farmers, etc. The
farmers take the position that the
propesition is not only impractical.
but that the bankers ask TOO much
for the kind of help and relief which
they offer.
This scheme of having a number
of New York: bankers to advance
money to the farmers under condi-
tions which the farmers will not &C
cept is one of the various schemes
that has been proposed by those who
are frightened on account of the fall
ing price of cotton resulting from the
threat of the Democratic party to re-
move all protection from the South's
greatest product.
The Democratic politicians first
raised the cry that ''over-production'
was the cause Of the low price of cot
ton. Finding that they could not
fool the farmers with this, then some
strenuous effort was made to devise
some scheme for holding the cotton
but the scheme devised is like al
Democratic schemes when put to a
practical test-both Impractical and
unjust to the wealth-producer.

THE DEMOCRATIC PENSION
STEAL.

No Democratic paper which We
have seen has attempted to defend
the action of the Democratic House
in rushing through a bill to increase
the pensions of the Union soldiers to
the extent of seventy-five million dol
lars
The press generally has denounced .
the action of the Democratic House, |
not only as national scandal and as
a steal, but number of the leading
papers have gone further and pointed |
to the fact that the Democratic par
ty has recklessly broken it's pledge /
for economy, and had done it in the
most indefensible manner by attempt |
ing to use s75,OOO,OOO of the peo-
pies taxes for partisan and political
advantage. In short, a number Of
the papers denounced it as taking the
public money and using it to try to
bride the old soldiers to vote the
Democratic ticket
Many Democratic papers, however,
have tried to find some way to excuse
the Democratic House, and some of
them have gone to the extent of say
ing that while the House has passed
this bill, yet the burden will be on
Republican President and a Repub-
ican Senate if it becomes a law; they
point out that the Republican Senate
can kill it, and if they do not do this
! the Republican President can veto it;
and some other Democratic papers of
the smaller kind have seemed to exult
with pleasure that the passing of this
bill by the Democratic House had put
the Republican Senate and the Re-
publican President in hole, where
they must pass the bill or show that
they are less friendly to the old SOL
der than the Democratic House
The Charlotte Observer, with its
characteristic frankness, which is
worthy of the late lamented J. P.
Caldwell, spruns all such Democratic
clap-trap, and closes an editorial re-
plying to them as follows:
why try to throw the blame
for the cowardly and dishonest
i action of the Democratic House
upon the Republican Senate and
President That is not the way
to win political victories and
political victory won by such
|, means would not be worth hay-

WHAT "A FRIEND OF MR.. DUN
CAN" SAYS,

In another column we publish a
communication from Mr.. D. H. SEN
ter, Of Harnett County. He express
es himself as being opposed to the
denomination of President Taft and
says that he is "a friend of Mr.. Dun
cam but he further says that he
agrees with The Caucasian that Mr..
Duncan cannot carry North Carolina
for Mr.. Taft.
If Mr.. Senter will read our edito-
rial again he will see that we said
that Mr.. Duncan could neither carry
North Carolina for Mr.. Taft nor car
ry it against him. Our editorial re-
ferred to was written commenting
upon Mr.. Duncan's recent interview
in which he declared himself for
President Taft's denomination for the
first time. We were ridiculing Mr.
Duncan's sudden conversion and spec
ulating upon the causes of it, and at
the same time holding up to ridicule
how absurd his interview was mas
much as he was powerless to either
help or hurt the President.
There is no one in the State who
was more disappointed at the action
of the President in naming a Demo
crat for Federal Judge than was The
Caucasian. 1t was a great mistake
and our people were very justly dis
appointed and grieved at the same.
J 1t was in effect saying to the world
that there was no Republican lawyer
in the eastern part of North Carolina
who was competent for judge; when
the fact is, we have a number of able
lawyers and high-class gentlemen
who are the equal of Judge Conner
in character and legal ability and ev-
cry qualification for the judgeship.
But we do not blame President
Taft as much as we blame the referee

PROFESSOR COON SPIKES THEIR
GINS.

After the Democratic machine poll
ticians had "howled down" Professor
Coon. when he was delivering his an
nnaI address TO the Teachers Assem-
bly, in Raleigh. preventing him from
finishing his address. they showed
that they were still frightened at the
truths which were told and proceeded
at once to try to distract the attention
of the people by charging that Pro-
fessor Coon vas posing as a candi-
date for State superintendent Of Pub
lie instruction TO succeed Professor
Joyner.
This is an old trick Of machine
poIiticians. when they are faced with
truths that they cannot answer, to
howl down the truth and then try
to misrepresent the motives of the
men who told the truth.
Professor Coon has PROMPTLY spik-
ed their guns by coming out in card
that he is not candidate for State
Superintendent, that he never will be
a candidate, and that if he was elect
ed to the position, that he would not
serve Professor Coon is a clear
headed man and saw at once that
these politicians were attempting to
destroy his influence and to call at
tention from the truths which he told
in the interest of improving the pub
lie schools, and in order to prevent
them from doing so, he has made this
frank statement.
He again calls attention to the fact
that If the public schools of North
Carolina had not been dragged into
politics, that the politicians would
not have been aroused by the truths
which he stated to howl him down
and misrepresent him. He said il
the schools were handled by the peo-
pie who were interested in the educa-
ton of the boys and girls, and not
made a political football of by ma
chine politicians, that then the truths
which he stated in his speech would
have been welcomed and there would
have been a fair and honest discus
sion of the defects pointed out by
him and an honest patriotic effort
made to find the right remedy.
Professor Coon has rendered the
State great service in his manly Pc
sition, and we have the greatest con
fidence in the voters of the State tina
they will endorse and uphold his pc
sition at the ballot-box next year.
