THE SOUTH IGNORED.

The Democratic Congressman have
decided that no public building and
Improvement bill will pass this ses-
sion of Congress. They claim they
must curtail expenses and economic.
Yet, the people have not forgotten
that this same Democratic Congress
voted for a seventy-five million dollar
increase in the Federal pension bill.
without even asking for cent for
the Southern soldier, and now say
that the South cannot get any mon
ey for her public buildings and other
improvements needed. Congressman
Webb had promised Gastonia 10 get
$4,000 more for her public building.
CONGRESSMAN Steadman had promised
the Winston people more money for
their public building. Raleigh had
been promised a good amount to en-
large her Federal building, but all
this has gone by the wayside because
Democratic Congress voted sew
enty-five million dollars as a cam
paign fund to catch the soldier vote
in the North for the Democratic nom
inee They take it for granted the
South will vote for whoever is put up
regardless of the treatment they re-
ceive.
Isn't it time for the South to send
men to Congress who can and will
look out for the interest of their peo-
pie at home?

II seems that Woodrow Wilson 8
friends woke up the wrong passenger
when they dragged Colonel Waiter
son into the controversy over Ryan's
money. Mr.. Watterson said he had
been asked by Mr.. Wilson TO aid In
securing campaign funds to boost
Wilson and had secured quite an
amount. Mr.. Wilson said 1t was not
so. Senator Tillman was called on
20 sauelch Colonel Watterson. He
picked up his pitchfork and declared
that Colonel Watterson was little
other than a scoundrel. Colonel Wat
terson offered to produce proof OF his
statements before court Of honor"
The dispatches do not state whether
they found it impossible to find
court of honor" but they do say
that the South Carolina Senator drop
ped his pitchfork and announced that
1t was not his fight anyway. After
falling to find court of honor" to
settle the issue between himself and
Wilson, Colonel Watterson gave out
another statement in which he said
that he or Wilson had lied, and then
proceeded to show why he thought it
q after
showing his ingratitude to his friend,
Colonel Harvey, that Wilson has
since in private letters begged Col.
Harvey's pardon and has told Col.
Harvey that he still wants his sup
port. When Mr.. Wilson was asked
to say something after Col. Waiter
mans last statement, he replied:
Colonel Watterson's statement ad-
mits of no comment from me-" And
for once Mr.. Wilson had nothing to
say, thus leaving the public to draw
it's own conclusions.
At last accounts all those who had
been hammering at Colonel Waiter
son had taken to the bushes and even
the Colonel himself has announced
that he will go to Florida and get out
Of touch with civilization. In the
meantime, the Wilson boom is how

"POSE GRABBERS CONDEMN
DUNCAN.
Eastern Republican Represented as
Siding Against Eastern Leader. Is
pecially in Biddle appointment
Especial to News and Observer


"Kinston. y. c., Jan. 22.-In an
interview last night. W. J. Jordan,
editor of the Snow Hill Eastern Re-
corder, and one of the leaders OF the
Morehead faction OF the Republican
party in Eastern Carolina. condemn
ed National Committeeman Duncan
for his action In connection with the
New Bern Collectorship matter. Jor-
dan, who is considered one OF the
best posted men of his party, gave as
his opinion that Biddle would finally
be confirmed, or that at least a
Morehead Republican would secure
the appointment.
Shortly before it was made
known that Biddle was the Presi-
dents choice to succeed Dan Patrick,
who, as a Duncanite, has been antag-
onistic to Jordan's political ambitions
in Greene County, the editor return
ed from Washington, where he was
in audience with the President. The
announcement of the appointment
soon followed, and Jordan did not
deny that his visit to the National
capital had to do with the Collector
ship and that he was much pleased
at the selection of Mr.. Biddle for the
office"
"It is both amusing and pathetic to
note the frantic efforts of Mr.. Dun
can to defeat the confirmation of Mr..
Biddle as collector of customs at
New Bern,'' said Mr.. Jordan. His
unprecedented activity and strange
manoeuvers can only be explained
on the ground that he is en-
deavoring to hide from his for
mer political allies at Washington
the fact that he has been thor
oughly and eternally repudiated as a
leader of Republican politics in
North Carolina. Duncan is simply
dying hard, and he is shrewd enough
to know that his last vestige of
strength will desert him when Mr..
Biddle, from the adjoining county to
his, is confirmed, thus completely
evidencing the overthrow of Duncan
ism in North Carolina and the en-
LII OueLucuI VI MOT0uodQ. L ne truth
is, Mr.. Duncan's closest friends are
disguised with his unwarranted &C
ton in trying to override the will
and voice Of the Republican party in
this State by forever and unceasing-
ly lobbying around Washington,
seeking through any means open to
him to hold up any appointment, not
that OF Mr.. Biddle alone, made by
the president at the instance and
upon the Recommendation OF Mr..
Norehead. 1t is pertinent to inquire
why Duncan did not at least make
the semblance OF an effort to hold
up some Of the Democratic appoint
ments made by the President, among
them Judge Conner? While these
appointments were being made, and
the whole country was aghast at the
apparent silence Of Republican lead
ers in this and other Southern States,
this man Duncan was as dumb as an
oyster, and whose voice is again re-
covered when the appointment is
shifted from the appointment of

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

The following is from the last is
sue of the Rowland Sun, a Demo
cratic paper published in Robesor
County:
cit does look as high as taxes
are in Robson we could see
some of the benefits, but the
roads for which we pay
heavy tax-are worse than they
have ever been. We don't sup
pose that there is really first
class road in the county. The
road commissioners have just
elected another road superin-
tendent, Mr.. John Parish, at
salary of $1,000 a year, and we
are told that there is no money
to pay him or work the roads
either. Where does all the
money go? Where do all the
taxes We pay in this county go
to? Some argue that If the
county was divided taxes would
be higher, but this is idle TAX.
They are higher in Robson
than in many counties half the
size-higher than they would be
two years from now IL the coun-
~ was divided in half"
It should be easy for the Sun te
guess why taxes are high and still
have bad roads in Robson County
There are many Democratic pets In
Robson that must live at the ex
pense of the tax payers. The as
SCISSORS not only increased the valua
ton of property in Robson County
but the commissioners also increased
the tax rate, making a double bur
den on the tax payers of that county

Woodrow Wilson's campaign man
ager, a Mr.. McCombs, in an interview
in regard to the Wilson-Harvey-Wat-
terson feud, is quoted as saying:
'In October of last year I had
general conversation on Presi-
Dental politics with Colonel
Watterson at the Waldorf, where
he was stopping l visited him
at his suggestion. In the course
Of that conversation he gave it
as his opinion that a large
amount Of money would be need
ed and volunteeded the sugges-
ton that he would 60 and see his
friend Thomas F. Ryan, and that
he was sure he could induce him
to make very large contribu-
ton to the campaign.
II said to him that we could
not take Mr.. Ryan's money and
that such contributions were not
within the spirit of the Woodrow
Wilson negotiation. His reply
was:
"I have been in politics fifty
years and know that money
and not patriotism counts in a
Presidential campaign
\ Heretofore when the Republicans
have charged the Democrats with Ca
tering to the money powers, they
have vigorously denied it and have
claimed that their candidate was OF,
for and by the people. But Colonel
Watterson. the only man now on
deck in the Democratic party, says
that money is the only thing that
counts in Democratic Presidential
campaign. So If the Democrats dc
not get Wall Street or some other
money power to their back they will
not be able to count in the comine
campaign. And those who ara wish.
ing the Democratic party we'll, II
there be such, should remember that
their money will be far more accept
able than their patriotism.
