DEMOCRACY. BOOZE. DOODLE
AND BONDS"

A subscriber TO The Caucasian. in
. letter. says
The last election developed the
fact that the Democratic party had
q very large bag OF campaign Doodle.
and they used ii more iavishIy than
ever before in the history OF the
State. The question has often been
asked. and never answered. Where
did they get their campaign boodieg
Some have suggested that IL came
from the trusts. which Governor
Kitchin pledged himself TO prose-
cute under IAN antitrust Law with
teeth" IL the Democratic machine
did not get At least one hundred
thousand dollars from the trusts for
passing the toothless antitrust law
and never attempting to enforce it.
then they could have gotten that
much and more for their perfidy to
the people.
Another notable thing about the
last election was the enormous
amount of whiskey used by the DEM
election, and, in many places, for
several days preceding the election.
I'm my county of Catawba, l am
informed that they sent out word to
every doubtful voter to come TO town
and they would be shown straight
20 free Democratic blind tiger on
election day; that the voters who
were being sought to be influenced
by whiskey, were met, conducted to
where they could get the Democratic
blind tiger BOOZE, and then when
full enough with mean whiskey to
be able to vote the Democratic ticket,
they were taken and voted and
were then turned loose, and before
night many of them were very drunk
and in the gutter.
my information is that things
like this occurred in many parts OF
, the State. I am told that in the ad-
| joining county of Lincoln, that they
tried to keep this class of voters
drunk from the day that Kitchin
spoke there, the day before the cleo
| ton, and until the polls closed on the
day of election.
Besides this, it is known that the
Democratic machine made no serious
effort to honestly enforce their pro-
| hibition law, and winked constantly
at not only near-beer saloons, but at
, notorious blind tigers, where all
| kinds of whiskey and intoxicants
| were sold, and at many places openly.
There has been another develop
ment since the election, and that is
that the Democratic party not only
| has so mismanaged the affairs OF the
State as to hurt it's credit and to be
unable to sell State bonds, but that
we are now facing a big deficit due
to Democratic mismanagement and
extravaganza, and that it will be ne
cessary to sell more bonds, if any
| body can be found to buy them.
| "Thus it would seem that in the
next campaign the inevitable issue
will be not Butler, Booze, Doodle
and Bonds but Democracy, Booze,
Doodle and Bonds
| Our correspondent seems to state
the whole case pretty fully, and
therefore comment is unnecessary.

A CHILL FOR THE NEWS AND Or
SERVER AND IT'S REPUBLICAN,
ALLIES

A CHILL kOh The NEWS AND Oft~
SERVER AND IT'S REPUBLICAN
ALLIES.
The Mt. Airy Leader. In an edi-
toriai says:
The appointment OF Eugene Hol-
ton, ~ District Attorney. seems TO
have given The News and Observer a
chill"
Every intelligent. honest and law
abiding citizen OF the State knows
that Mr. Holton has performed his
difficult and important duties as
United States District Attorney with
such ability and fidelity that he has
arrayed against himself every moon
sinner and vioiator OF the law and
every crook OF every kind who has
profited by such violation OF the law
from one end Of his district to the
other. Mr.. Holton's fidelity to duty
and his successful enforcement OF the
law has been such that there has been
organized what ::.ay be justly called a
strong conspiracy to destroy him:
and strange to say, some politicians
of more or less supposed prominence
are believed to be parties to this con-
spiracy. Attacks openly and under
cover, have been made on Mr.. Holton
from many directions, but so fine is
his record that Attorney General
Wickersham has from the beginning
been his strong and constant friend.
The News and Observer has ap-
peared to be an organ in this con-
spiracy. OF course, every Democrat
who was willing to fight Mr.. Hoiton
in order that some inferior man
might supplant him for purely party
advantage, has Joined in this con-
spiracy, and the other important par
ties to this conspiracy, in addition
to the moon-shiners and open viola
tors of the law, have been those Re-
publicans who have been opposing
Mr.. Morehead and the Republican
State organization and fighting Re-
publican growth and success.
At one time they seemed to feel
sure that their conspiracy would sue
coed and that Mr.. Holton would be
removed, which would have brought
loud acclaim and approval from the
partisan Democratic machine, from
the moon-shiners and other violators
of the law, and from that remnant of
the old referee Republican machine
which is opposed to Republican sue
cess
! Therefore "the chill" which the
News and Observer has received on
! account of the disappointment of Mr.
: Holton extends equally to all of the
/ others who have joined in the unholy
conspiracy.

AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY
AND THE KITCHfy TDoTHLkass
ANTITRUST Ian.
The State Dispatch says:

The State Dispatch says:
We suppose the America Tobacco
Compay wIIi come TO the relief OF the
State in the sale Of the honda Tor

cost . niilion dollars"
II ID true, from appearances. that
the American Tobacco Company.
commonly called the Tobacco Trust.
did come TO the relief Of Governor
Kitchin and the Democratic organi-
zat!on last year when they tried TO
sell some State bonds and could not.
IL has been the talk OF the State ever
since that the American Tobacco
Company paid for the bonds more
than tiny body else vas willing to pay
for them. and thus lifted the Demo
cratic administration out Of hole,
and there has been much speculation
as to what consideration the Amer
lean Tobacco Company received or ex-
pected to receive for this cash dona-
ton 10 the State, even IL nc cash do
nation was made to the Democratic
campaign fund In addition.
IL there was such a deal, il may
be that the American Tobacco Com
pany will not feel that 1t Is neees-
sary for 1t TO come again to the res
cue of the Democratic administra-
ton TO raise money to pay this Dem-
ocratic deficit, and also to erect the
million-dollar Democratic folly"
building while the State is so heavily
in debt under Democratic good gov
eminent" management. But, of
course, it is possible that there may
be room for a deal on this project
alone. We will wait and see. One
thing is certain, and that is that
Governor Kitchin's Texas antitrust
law with teeth in it" was not passed
until all the teeth were pulled out,
and it may be necessary to do some
thing now to prevent some teeth be-
ing put in that Democratic sham law.
A smile went over the whole State
little while ago when it was an
nounced that the Standard Oil Trust
was to be tried under the Kitchin
toothless antitrust law before a JUS
tice in the police courts of Raleigh.
There was a great flourish of trum-
pets on the part of the Democratic
organs to the effect that the Attorney
General of the State had consented
to give his august permission that
such suit should be started under
the sham Kitchin antitrust law.
We are not On the inside as to
what this opera bouffe performance
was intended for, but the police court
has, within the last few days. de-
clared that the Standard Oil Trust is
pure and law-abiding trust as ad-
judged by the Kitchin antitrust law.
AS to whether or not this police court
was taken into the confidence of the
Democratic ring, and is working with
| a perfect understanding, Or as to
whether or not the police justice cor
rectly interpreted the toothless law

Mimi, were discovered this morn
ing on the Northwestern track about
two and a half miles this side of
Wolsey, by the crew of the west

recognition. pieces of the body being
scattered along the track for about

to pieces by the wheels. Nothing
was known Of the accident until this
morning when the body was found,
The body was torn into a hundred
pieces. The mans relatives have

Settlers Get a

Aberdeen News.-Word was re-
ceived here today that the govern
ment has granted a years leave of
absence to the people proving up on
theirs claims, whose crops have been
ruined this year. This enables them
to be gone a year and return at the
end of that time and complete the
term of residence on their claims as
though the period had been unbrok-
en-. A great many settlers in the
western part of the state, who have
lost their crop this year r taking
advantage of this and will return
next season to put in another crop
as they have not money enough to
run them through the winter and
their leave of absense gives them an
opportunity to earn money through
out the winter. Ali of the settlers
express their intention OF returning
next season as they like the country
and think that it is capable of heavy
production in ordinary years.

Poisoned by Raw Pork

Westport, June 23.-The conoi-
ton of the members of the Mills
paugh family Of this city, who ate
raw pork for supper some weeks
ago resulting In trlchinosis is about
the same as Yesterday. and 1T will
probably be from four to five weeks
before it will be definitely known
whether they will recover or not.
T~richinosis is not a disease, but is
a germ found in all raw pork, which,
when it leaves the stomach and en-
tiers the bowels. generates into
worms, which in turn work their
way into the tendrils of the mus
cells. and generally proves fatal.
The three children will likely re-
cover, so says DR.. l.. A. Pickering
of this city. who is attending them.
and there is hope for the father. but
Mrs. Millspaugh will probably die.

TO FIX DATE
FOR PACT VOTE
Effort Being made to Bring Re-
ciprOcity to an Early Vote

Washington, June ga persist
ent and perhaps day by day effort
to advance Canadian reciprocity by
getting unanimous consent to fix
a definite time for a vote on it and
separate dates on the house wooden
and free list bills as well will be
made by Chairman Penrose of the
senate finance committee.
He does not count upon immedi.
ate success for his efforts, however.
Penrose, after a canvass of the sem
ate announced that his plan had met
with more encouragement than he
had anticipated. The standpat re-
publicans made little or no objec-
ton, and the democrats none. but
generally the insurgent republicans
were not agreeable to the PROPOSE
ton. They want time to present
the issues fully to the country and
to the senate. Even these objections
Penrose hopes to overcome in time,
and if his first request tomorrow is
not acceded to he will repeat it day
after day.
During the dav there was a gen.
eral Tightening up of the lines in
favor of the reciprocity bill. Friends
of the measure on the democratic
side continued a canvass of the stu
alton, and when the senate adjourn
