DEMOCRATS AND sENATORsHIPs

The Democrats in Virginia have a
Senatorial campaign all Of their own.
The campaign which ends to-day has
been one of the bitterest ever waged
in the Old Dominion. The charge
has been made that more than half
the Offices in Virginia are I'M
der ring rule" and the cost of
the State government has doubled in
ten years, due to the working of the
machine" and that the government
has been run in the interest of the
corporations instead of in the inter
est of the people. The lie has been
passed several times and a Roanoke
paper has discovered that the Rich
mond Evening Journal is IAN ass"
A very bitter fight in the Democrat
ic ranks in Maryland resulted again
in Commanding the State. Ex-senator
Germans son was chosen in the pri-
mary for United States Senator. He
and Senator Raynor are at dagger's
point and a fight will be waged for
the next two years with a view to de-
feating Raynor at the end Of his pres
ent term. In the meantime it would
seem that the Republicans have a
good opportunity to. carry Maryland.
1t is believed that many former Dem
ocrats will join the Republicans and
help to defeat the German machine
in that State. Once before when the
Democrats were unable to defeat the
German machine at the primaries
they Joined hands with the Republi-
cans and made it necessary for Ar
thur Pue German to return to pri-
vate life,
All of this reminds US that there is
a Senatorial fight on in the Demo
cratic ranks in North Carolina and
the Independent Democrats may yet
find it necessary to come over and
help the Republicans elect a truly
representative man to the United
States Senate-one who could dc
something for the State besides draw
his breath and his salary.

A NOTABLE WOMAN PASSES
A WAY.
Mrs. Cornelia Happier Faison, Widow
of Capt. E. l.. FaisOn, and Mother
of Mrs. Marion Butler, Dies at Her
Country Home at Elliott, n. G..

OF MIS-. MARION Butter, Dies at her
Country Home at Elliott, N. G.
Sampson Democrat
1t was with great sorrow that the
many friends here, to whom Mrs. Cor
nelia Faison was very dear, heard of
her death, which occurred at Elliott,
her country home, Wednesday after
noon of last week. Her death was
not unexpected however, and was the
elimination of a long period of ILL
ness. Under peculiarly fitting and
beautiful circumstances did the spirit
elect to leave the body, for she
breathed her last during prayer
rector. her family physician and near
ly all the immediate family.
It is sad to die, but since death
must come to us all sooner Or later,
what more could be desired than to
die under such circumstances. She
had reached the sixty-ninth year of
her earthly pilgrimage, and while
she did not reach the three-score and
ten, yet she had lived a long and
useful life, and will be greatly missed
in her community and her church,
upon the services of which she was
most earnest, constant and devout at
tendant.
Mrs. Faison's remains were
brought to Clinton on the late after
noon train Thursday, accompanied by
the family and number of friends
and relatives who went down from
Clinton. From the train they were
taken to the Episcopal Church, where
the funeral service was conducted by
Rev. ]. E.. Williams; thence to the
grave, where sorrowfully and tender
ly the body was consigned to the rest
ing-place of all the earth. The fow-
ers, reverently laid on the grave,
We're beautiful in the extreme.
Mrs. Faison, who was before her
marriage to Capt. E. L. Faison, Miss
Cornelia Happier, was born at Craney
Island. near Norfolk, Va, on Decem-
Der 2. 1843. She and Captain Faison
became acquainted during the Civil
War, and were married in Baltimore
on January /. 1867. Mrs. Marion
Butler Is the only surviving child of
this union: SON. Mr. Edwin L. Fai-
son, dying Jnuary 1, 1907 Three sis
tiers survive her-Mrs. p. v. Bum
| gardner, Mrs. M. E. Fowle, of Wash
intgon. D. c., and Miss India Happier,
Of Norfolk, Va.
OF late years and since the death of
her husband, Mrs. Faison has made
her home with Mrs. Marion Butler.

The Lincoln Times. commenting On
the condition OF Affairs under Demo
cratic good government" In North
Carolina. says:
The conduct Of those zho
are elected aud sworn TO execute
the Law has much 20 do with the
moral tone OF community.
IF those In authority are so
Der, upright and orderly in all
things. respect for Law enforce
ment will prevail. On the other
hand, If the sworn officers them
selves set an example Of inso-
briefly and disrespect for the
Law, lawlessness will prevail and
the moral standard OF the COM
munity will be lowered. A COM

maintain q high standard Of
morality with taiated officers
than q stream can rise above It's

No, we did not see an account of
these cases in the Raleigh News and

them here but for the fact the News

Caddo, Okla, Sept 3-For the first
time in its history, Caddo tonight
has no negro residents. The blacks
have also fed from much of the sur
rounding country. The exodus start
ed this morning from the first report
of the killing of Horace Gibbs, a
white farmer, by negroes last night,
and continued throughout the day.
No warning notices were necessary.
The blacks took fright at the tenn
per of the whites and feared to re-
main another night. All outgoing
trains were crowded while extra facil-
tiles were required for the handling
of their baggage and express. More
than fifteen hundred purchased tick
cts for McAlester, Muskogee, Atoka,
Okla, and Bonham, Whiteright and
Denison, Texas, and smaller towns.
The ticket sales amounted to nearly
a thousand dollars.
Cattle, hogs and crops were sacri-
feed at ridiculous prices in order to
raise money, while much other per-
sonal property was left behind.
