The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1912-07-18
Thinks Mr.. Taft Secured the NOmina-
ton.

Mr.. Editor: AS you invite discus
sion of the situation in the Republi-
can camp, l will submit my views. L
want no office now, nor do | ever ex-
pect to ask for one, but l am inter-
ested in the prosperity Of our coun-
ary, and therefore in the Republican
party. It seems to me that the duty
of every true Republican at this time
is to stand by the party and its reg
ular nominees There is a dispute as
to whose followers stole more votes
at Chicago, but there is no question
but that Mr.. Taft secured the noml-
nation from the Republican Conven-
ton. Mr. Roosevelt having with
drawn from the convention, it seems
to me, conceded the nomination to
Mr.. Taft. Having withdrawn from
the party, and being now engaged IN
organizing a new party, it seems to
me Mr.. Roosevelt has no claims upon
the Republican party, which he Is
trying to destroy.
AS to the claim that the National
Executive Committee stole the noml-
nation for Mr.. Taft, that claim re-
quires more evidence than mere hot
air" to substantiate. The men COM
posing that committee are, as a rule,
the greatest and wiseSt men IN our
party, who when our country had
been laid waste and her industries
destroyed by Democratic misrule un-
der Cleveland, these men under the
leadership of William Mckinley, re-
stored prosperity to every man; and
it has been under their leadership
that our people have enjoyed such a
period Of prosperity for fifteen years
as has never been equalled in any
country in the history of the world
so far as l am aware. They have
proven their patriotism and their
leadership, and now shall We de-
nounce these men as thieves because
cause they refuse to crafty the am.
bition of Theodore Roosevelt.
l believe our committee make Ut
the roll of that convention according
to the facts as they understood
them. And believe the great mar
who presided, weighed out equal jus
tlce to every man. Now shall we Re
publicans turn our backs on the tried
and true leaders of our party? Mer
who have led us out of depression
panic and industrial disasters o.
every kind and into peace, prosperit!
and happiness. Shall we desert these
leaders and follow Mr. Roosevelt into
the wilderness?
The great leaders of our party art
almost TO a man behind the Rresi
Dent. In the call for the new part.
no names appear, which have inspir
ed us in the past. Untried leader,
are at the helm. Not even Lafollette
Hadley or Cummins, former leader,
OF the progressives are in it. The.
prefer to take their chances with tn,
Old Republican party, that has saves
our country in the past.
Mr. Taft is only an incident in tn,

Manure and SiIaae Corn.

Twenty tons of corn silage an acre
were harvested last fall by George
l. Hyslop of Ohio. He uses 1t for fat
tening cattle and hogs. The most
thing about this yield is
that 1t Is the result OF proper utiliza-
ton Of barnyard manure. The ma
.ure shed has an important place on
the farm.

PROPHECY WAS TRUE
Tragedy Rests on House Near

Curse That Rests Over Place Near
st. Joseph, No., Had Its Incep-
tIon When Two Rival Gypsles
Fought Over Girl.

st. Joseph. Mo.-Built upon
the unmarked grave of mur-
dered wooer, a little house
stands upon lonely knoll near Sax
ton station, seven miles east of st.
Joe, Mo-, a thing accursed and
Stunned by those who know its his
tory. They fear the baleful infiu-
ences which are said to surround it.
During the ~ years 1t has been
standing eight lives have been blotted
out by violent means, illness and i'll
fortune have followed the advent of
new tenants, the crops have failed.
while those on neighboring farms
prospered and a sequence of misfor-
tunes has logged the footsteps of
those who have braved the place and
its curse.
The curse that hangs over the place
began before the house was built. 1t
had its inception when two young
gypsies. rivals for the hand of u
daughter of the tribe, fell out over
their love affairs and fought. The
vanquished one stole up behind his
sleeping rival that night and plunged
knife into his back. Then he went

what he had done.
Whatever the motive which inspired
the king-whether his heart was with
the murderer or whether he did not
want an investigation by the authori-
ties-he ordered that the body of the
slain man be taken to the knoll near
by and buried.
1t was years later that Christopher
Schroers, young farmer. building the
house to shelter the wife whom he
soon proposed to take. looked down
from the roof he was shingling to see
standing at the foot Of his ladder an
aged gypsy crone. She expressed a
desire to tell his fortune.
THE fates are unkind." said the
gypsy dolefully, shaking her head.
You are soon to be married. You
dream of a long life ahead. You
think to gather with your children
and grandchildren about this place.
But In your hand l see naught but
trouble. Your dreams will not come
