Shot Brother Because He Asked Him
to Work.
A special from Kfnston to Satur-
days News and Observer says:
Charles Heath, well-known
young farmer of Greene County, was
the victim in an unusual shooting af-
fair, in which a younger brother was
the assailant. Heath asked the young
er man to perform some work about
the tobacco barn on the farm on
which they live, and enraged at the
manner in which the request was
made, the latter went into the house.
secured revolver and returning, be-
gan firing. One ball took effect, en-
tering Heath's knee. The wound is
not serious, but exceedingly painful. /"

There are some of the old referee
Republican machine leaders in this
State who are trying to get Republi-
cans to go into the Democratic SEN
atorial primaries and vote for Sem
ator Simmons, on the ground that he
is partly a Republican. Wonder how
many Democrats are supporting Sem
ator Simmons for the same reason.

GUS campaign Tor the Democratic
nomination for United States Sem
ator, we notice that a number OF
newspapers have suggested that it
now looks as IL the race for the Sen
ate would be between Clark and Sim
mons. 1t seems to US, however, that
II Judge Clark develops as much
strength as a number of our cotem-
poraries seem to think he will, that
the situation would soon develop to
where the race would be between
Clark and kitchin.
The trusts and special interests
that are understood to be backing
Senator Simmons would no doubt
prefer to have him stay in the Sen
ate, inasmuch as his record would
seem to be quite satisfactory to them;
yet, we take 1t, these interests would
note hesitate for a moment to drop
Senator Simmons and throw their
support to Governor Kitchin If they
thought there was danger of Judge
Clark winning.
Governor Kitchin has certainly
been very kind to the trusts and mon
opolies since he has been Governor,
and surely all of them would be glad
to take him as a second choice, and
indeed some of them, if seems to us,
ought to want him as first choice; but
inasmuch as Governor Kitchin is try
ing to pose as a progressive and has
the support of some Democrats who
believe that he is a progressive, Or at
least less reactionary than Senator
Simmons, he will no doubt be the
man selected by them on whom to
combine all of their forces, for if
they become frightened at the
strength of Judge Clark, of course
all of the Simmons men would vote
for Kitchin in preference to Clark,
and therefore the Kitchin vote and
the Simmons vote could be easily
combined on the Governor. This, it
seems, will happen If the special in
terests become frightened at the can
didacy of Judge Clark.
Last spring when Judge Clark and
Governor Aycock published their
cards announcing their candidacy re-
spectively for the United States Sen
ate, each one warned the people of
the danger of permitting the trusts
and monopolies to select a United
States Senator. They pointed out
that the benefciaries Of special priv
ilege were determined to hold the
U. S. Senate at al hazards, and that
they would spend an enormous sum
Of money to select Senator from
North Carolina on whom they could
rely. They warned the people that
they were poor and not able to spend
money, and that they would not &C
cept support from monopolies and
: trusts.
The campaign has now progressed
far enough for Judge Clark to be able
to tell the people of the State IL he
thinks his warning was well founded
the Senate he now thinks are actual
ly being supported by trust money.

A HORRIBLE SUGGESTION.

The Asheyille Gaxette-Se~s In an
editorial makes the following sugges-
ton:
But suppose the people OF IL
linois should deliberately send
Lorimer back to the Senate.
But how much worse would that be
than for the North Carolina Demo
cratic machine 10 deliberately" send
simmons back 10 the Senate! Mr..
Simmons is reported TO have said that
Lorimer. whom he was trying TO get
into some swamp deals in Eastern
Carolina. was the peer OF any man
In the Senate" Clearly Mr.. Simmons

What has become Of the money
trust" investigation? The Democratic
House at one time decided that the
money trust was the greatest of all
evils, and 1t was understood they
would proceed to investigate it, and
put 1t out OF business. That many
months ago. The none ytrust is still
doing business at the same old stand
and apparently the Democratic Con
gress has forgotten all about it.

A GREAT BUSINESS THAT CON-
Germs US ALL.

The editor of this paper had con-
versation a few days since with a
Democratic friend in which the short
comings of the Democratic admins
tration in this State and the Nation
were freely discussed. Our friend
admitted that the Democratic party
had not been a success in handling
the affairs of the National Govern
ment, and he also admitted that our
State Government was being run. on
very poor business principles. In
deed, the clear inference to be drawn
from his admissions was that he was
would at least control the Presidency
and that in some way he hoped for
better conditions in North Carolina;
but he insisted that notwithstanding
all of these things, he would continue
to vote the Democratic ticket
We asked our friend If he would
keep any man at the head of a BUSH
ness enterprise that he owned or was
a stakeholder in that was managed as
poorly as the Democrats in this State
are managing our State Government
He admitted he would not. He agreed
that it was outrageous the way the
Democratic machine was increasing
Offices, increasing salaries, increasing
expenses, raising taxes, and issuing
bonds. He also admitted the bad
; management of the public school sys-
tenn and lamented greatly that his
party had deserted the great funda-
! mental principle of local self-govern-
ment. He also said that he was dis
gusted with his party on account of
its record in voting for seventy-five
million dollars worth of pensions for
Federal soldiers who never fred g.
gun, and in many other ways, but at
ter admitting everything, he would
again asert that he still would have
, to continue to vote the Democratic
ticket.
/ We asked him then IL there should
: not be men In charge of Government
Z: lta affairs with the same capacity and
integrity as men who would be in
charge of private or corporate busi-
ness affairs. He said, by all means.
and we ought to have the best men
and men who stood for the best pol
icies.
We then asked him if government
was not the greatest business in
which he and al citizens were inter
~ested. He admitted this. Again. at
ter all of these admissions, we asked
him If in the face of this he would
still continue to vote the Democratic
ticket.
We are glad to say that the friend
parted from us at least without max.
ing reply, and, therefore, we fee
that there is hope for him, as there i.
for thousands and tens of thousand,
of others who have been blindly yot
ing a ticket in which they had NJ
faith or hope.

PORTUGUESE WEST
AFRICA FOR SALE
It Is Rumored That American
Capitalists Will Buy Pos
sessions.
PORTUGUESE NEED MONEY
TREASURY IN A BAD CONDl-
TIoN AND COUNTRY is NEGoTI-
ATING TO PART WITH RICH
LAND.

Portuguese West Africa, according
10 reports from Europe, is for sale and
here is some talk of American capt.
sions of the Portuguese, which is in
1abited by 100000 blacks. The coun-
try is said to offer great opportuni-
lies along agricultural lines.
The Portuguese Congo is connected
with the Congo Free States, which has
population of 46,000,000 blacks. Il is
said that the purchase of Portuguese
West Africa by American capitalists,
and the Introduction of farming among
the natives would also have a great in
auence on the future of the blacks of
the Congo Free State, as they, too,
would likely be shown eventually the
wisdom of raising cotton and tilling
the land in which they live, which is
known for its fertility.
Those deeply interested in the pur-
chase of Portuguese West Africa by
Americans predict that the contact of
the natives with whites and negroes
from America will bring many radical
changes in Africa, where thousands of
blacks now go about in an uncivilized
state. Aside from the Introduction of
farming on large scale, the mode of
living of the African could be greatly
changed. The natives now pay little
attention to clothing, but it is the be-
lief of many that within a decade the
majority of blacks would adopt the
habits of Europeans and Americans
relative to wearing clothes
1t is said that the Portuguese gov
ernment is anxious to sell it's African
possessions because its treasury is in
a depleted state.

NEGROES IN BAR ASSOCIATION
LEWIS NOT THE ONLY ONE MIN
NEAPOLlS LAWYER TELLS
WiCkERSHAM.

Washington Attorney General
Wickersham's protest against the GUST
ing of Assistant Attorney General vii
liam Fl. Lewis, a negro, from member
ship in the American Bar association
has brought forth letter from a
Minneapolis lawyer, who says that a
lawyer of that city, nearly full
blooded negro" is member of the as
sociation.
The letter says that the negro at
torney was elected to membership at
the Boston meeting last year, despite
the assertion of George w. Whitelock,
secretary of the association, in let
ter to the attorney general, that no
one except a white man had held mem
bership in that body.
The attorney general informed Mr..
Whitelock of the communication, say
ing it seems to have a distinct bear
ing on the Lewis case, and asking a
confirmation or correction.
Boston.-The American Bar associa-
ton has determined to insist on the
expulsion of Assistant Attorney Gen
eral William H. Lewis. The attitude
Of the association was made known in
a circular signed by President Greg
Dry. The circular asks its members
to uphold the action of the officers,
and adds:
Every effort was made to represent
the matter to Mr.. Lewis in such way
as to induce him to relieve the situa-
tion by retiring voluntarily. and 1t
was hoped at one time that this had
been accomplished.
Finally the members of the COM
mittee took the action indicated by
their resolution.
Notwithstanding all efforts to raise
an issue not involved, the facts remain
that Mr.. Lewis was elected to mem
bership in the association under a
misapprehension, and he now insists

POOR CONSOLATION.

Mayor Baker, of Cleveland, said at

"He was disgruntled, he had right

he took slow and careful aim.
at seemed to him he couldn't miss

the report he opened his eyes and

well, did hit him.
THE keeper scratched his ear
"T dunno, sir he said, as I cant
exactly say you hit him, but I never

Among these fuels is peat, samples

The cost of preparing peat for the
market is comparatively small. Re-

GUEST OF ROSENWALD
DR.. WASHINGTON ADDRESSES
MANY MEETINGS IN CHICAGO
THOUSANDS TURNED AWAY.

Chicago.-Dr Booker T. Washing
ton left here for the east, after having
spent a week in Chicago as the guest
Of julius Rosenwald, the philanthro-
pist, and trustee of Tuskegee Insti-
tute. DR.. Washington delivered more
than Is addresses during the week.
The largest meeting was at Orchestra
hall. The educator spoke under the
auspices of the Chicago Sunday Even
ing club, and fully 5000 persons tried
to crowd into the auditorium, thou
sands being tuned away. The Tuske-
geean spoke at Sinai Temple, the larg-
est Jewish house of Worship in Chi
cago. Then again hundreds we're un-
able to secure admission, so great
was the rush to hear Dr. Washington.
DR.. Washington addressed the Chi
cago Colored Young Mems Christian
association. When he appeared on
the platform escorted by Mr. Rosen-
wald, he was accorded an ovation last
ing several minutes. Great enthusi-
asm was also shown when he met
with the Chicago Local Negro Busi-
ness league, of which DR.. George C.
Hall is president.
During the week DR. Washington ad-
dressed the Commercial club, the City
club, the Chicago School of Civics, the
Missionary Society of the Second Bap-
list church and the Jewish Training
school.
