Democrats Want the Civil Service
Canned.

To the Editor:-We all should
commend the spirit which prompts
the intention of Federal officials in
North Carolina to voluntarily let go
the public teat which they have so
long, pleasurably and politically, re-
buked, in order not to embarrass the
incoming Democratic administration
by compelling it to assign reasons for
house-cleaning
This time the spoils of war are go
ing to the victor, or the reason shall
be made known, and the cause made
to feel it. Civil service shall be
canned.

Why Are Farmers Rushing to Sell
Their Products?

Editor The Caucasian:-In this
hour of progress and prosperity of
our country it is noticeable to see
how eager they are to dispose of cot
ton, corn, and farm lands, city prop
erty. Never heard of so much for
sale in this section before. Yet feel
sure that the Democrats will be able
to fulfill their promise made to the
people to give them cheaper living
products. If they can only let wages
remain the same, and II they can
fulfill their promises in that respect,
it will be a glorious country to live In
and they will be able to hold power
the remaining days, as that will sure
please the great masses of the people
and there will be great rejoicing over
the land; and why Mr.. Taft should
wait until after the funeral to get
honors of the people is somewhat a
surprise. / am sure he made great
speech before the Confederate body,
while it would have been much better
if he could have remembered them
in the days of his past ambitions; but
alas! how sad to remember the words
echoing too late. The Bull Moose
band-wagon had passed and will run
until 1915, when everybody will be
on the lookout and will have their
tickets ready.
Again, there has been so much said
about the dead heroes of our country
and so much said in memory Of the
Gray and the Blue, methinks 1t is
grand, noble and patriotic to remem-
Der the dead who split their blood
for what they thought was right. But
it is more important to remember the
living. II we have any flowers to
strew, let's give them to the living.
We should lend our aid to the
youthful generation; they shall say
what they future progress of our
country shall be. Educate them to
the high standards of moral charac-
ter. Education Ii the first duty o.

Defaulting Cashier Must Serve Five
Year Sentence.

R. H. Afford, defaulting cashier of
the Bank of Kenly, Johnston Coun-
ty, was brought to the State Prison
Friday to serve a five-year-sentence.
The defalcations developed eighteen
months ago, when Afford disappeared
and had not been heard from until
Wednesday when he came into John
ston County Superior Court and en-
tered plea of guilty, receiving forth
with the five-year sentence. Afford
said his wife had been ill for long
while, necessitating several expensive
operations and he used bank funds,
expecting to repay. He tried stock
and cotton markets to recuperate and
became still worse entangled.

MIR. w. L. Fries Commits Suicide M
Giersch's Hotel.

Mr.. W. A. Fries, OF Greensboro.
superintendent OF construction of the
new State Building In Raleigh, COM
mitted suicide in his room al Hotel
Giersch early Monday morning BY
cutting his throat with a knife. A
VIE and several children live In
Greensboro. Although In note
which he addressed to his wife, he
speaks OF some trouble which he
could not overcome; his friends In
Raleigh can account for nothing In
his life to cause him to commit the
deed. Loss OF sleep brought about
by nervousness caused him to take to
drinking, 1t was believed, and 1t may
be this that he refers to In the note.
A letter addressed to Mrs. Fries
was found unsealed on the dresser,
and it Is as follows:

which | cannot entirely disprove,
