Soldier Attempts Suicide.

The first incident to mar the soldier
life at Camp Ordway, the scene OF the
most successful encampment of the Dis
trict National Guards, at Harper's Ferry
occurred Saturday afternoon when Private
William Trivett, Troop B, Fifteenth Cav
airy, U. S. A., a portion OF the force OF
regulars dispatched to Bolivar Heights to
maneuver with the militiamen, attempted
suicide by firing bullet from SPRING
field rifle into his chest. Though the
young soldier had placed the rifle so as
to send the ball through his heart, it was
DETECTED merely inflicting flash wound
in the chest, and passed through the left
arm near the shoulder. He was immedi-
ately removed to one OF the camp hospit-
ais, where il is said that his condition is
not critical, and serious results are not
expected unless blood poison should de-
velop. Trivett, recruit, joined the regi-
ment only few months ago. When the
troop came to Camp Ordway, Capt.
Berkeley, the commanding officer, order
ed the men to take their horses TO the
Shenandoah river each day and swim
them. The recruit cannot swim. This
fact, il is declared, led his company mates
to haze him with the result that Friday
morning he asked to be excused from
the swimming exercises.
Later in the day he went to his tent and
fired the shot. The hospitals buta short
distance from the scene of the shooting,
and the soldier was moved at once. Lieut..
Frank N. Chiffon, United States medical
corps, attached to Battery E, Third Unit
ed States field artillery, was summoned
and examined the wounded man. He
discovered that he had sustained a bad
powder burn on the chest and painful
flesh wounds. Despite the swimming
story, members of the troop announced
that Trivett's reason for endeavoring to
end his life was the receipt of news from
his home at Newark, N. j., announcing
the critical condition of his mother, who
has been i'll for some time.

DUNCAN VOTES FOR THE
.sTEAL."

We published In another column d
statement issued by Colonel hoose-
Welt denouncing the action OF the
National Committee in unseating the
regular delegates in the Ninth Ala
hama District, and seating In their
stead the bogus contes.ing delegates
Colonel Roosevelt says the fac's
are that the Republican State Com
mittee of Alabama. which Consists ol
,h,-.v Members, was regularly called
,opether for the purpose of issuing
q call for a Congressional Conven-
,,on to elect delegates to the Nation
al Convention; that when the COLI
r,,,tee met twelve of it's members
who were opposed to the Colonei
nomination bolted the committee sno
,ssued a call for a separate conVen-
ton. Yet the delegates elected oy
this illegal and boiling convention
have been seated by the Nationai
Committee and Colonel Roosevelt
denounces the action of the commit
tee as nothing short of a bald steal
Mr.. Duncan, the committeeman OF
North Carolina, voted with the ma
iority to perpetuate this steal.
This is the same Mr.. Duncan with
whom Mr.. Richmond Pearson MADE
a disreputable deal at the last Re
publican State Convention to unseat
the regular and lawful delegates
from Carteret, Wake, Franklin and
other counties and to seat the lille
gal, boiling Duncan delegates.
1t would seem, from the facts as
published by Colonel Roosevelt
which facts have not been denied,
that the illegal bogus delegates from
the Ninth Alabama District were
clearly without any shadow of just
claims for recognition. That case,
however, is not as rank case as the
claims set up by Duncan's bogus con-
testing delegates in the Third North
Carolina District.
II Mr.. Duncan should dare to vote
to seat his bogus delegates from the
Third District of this State he will be
condemned by every honest man in
that district and in the whole State.
The same is true as to the Duncan
contesting delegates of the Fourth
District.

MR.. SIMMONS INJUSTICE TO GOV.
ERNOR AYCOCK AND SENATOR
VANCE.

The claim which Senator Simmons
now makes to the effect that Cover
nor Aycock, IL he had been In the
Senate, would have voted to white
wash Lorimer as he did, Is very un-
just to Governor Aycock, and will be
resented by his friends.
This is not the first time that Sen
ator Simmons has taken advantage
OF dead man who was popular with
the people to try to help himself in a
political campaign.
1t will be remembered that after
Senator Vance's death, that Senator
Simmons tried to make the people of
this State believe that he and Senator
Vance were always good friends, and
that the Senator would not have op-
posed his election to the Senate il
he had been living This claim was
so outrageously false and unjust
that it forced Senator Vance's son to
write an open letter denouncing the
claim and setting forth the facts as
TO Senator Vance's opinion, as pub
l1cly expressed, about Mr.. Simmons
to the effect that he was not fit to
hold any office of honor or trust.
The letter of Senator Vance's son
referred to is published in full in
Marion Buffers Raleigh Speech.

WHY THEY WILL VOTE FOR
ROOSEVELT.

The two delegates from the Third
Alabama Congressional District to
the National Republican Convention,
who were elected some time ago as
instructed for Taft, have published
a statement announcing that they
will vote for Colonel Roosevelt.
Among the reasons given are that, in
the first place, they were elected be-
fore Colonel Roosevelt had announc-
ed his candidacy, and that therefore
their constituents had no chance to
express their preference at that time
between the two.
They further announce that over
go per cent of the people of their
district are to-day for Colonel Roo
sevelt, and are appealing to them to
vote as the people want them to vote
They declare that they believe it is
their duty to represent the over
whelming majority.
In addition, they point to the ac-
ton of the machine bosses in Ohio
who succeeded in defrauding the
will Of the people in that State in
instructing the six delegates at large
for Taft, in spite of the fact that
the people in the primary vote had
declared for Colonel Roosevelt by
over forty thousand majority. They
say that If President Taft approves
such a fragrant defiance of the will
of the people of his own State that
then every delegate instructed for
Taft anywhere should feel at liberty
to vote for Colonel Roosevelt If the
majority of his constituents are of
that opinion.

try and OF the world had for years
been advising the people. 90 a matter
OF health. 10 use cotton underwear.
or underwear made 1t least OF half
cotton. n being more heaithful. even
In cold climates, than underwear
made entirely OF wool. We gave the
facts TO show that this made an
enormous increase In the demand for
cotton which had far outstriped the
increased production in the South and
the world. and We further pointed
out that it would be impossible in the
future for the South, even IL IL pro-
duced a twenty million bale crop to
supply the increasing demand.
We further said that even IL the
present crop was fifteen million bales
that the price should not fall below
fourteen or fifteen cents a pound, In
the face OF the present demand. and
that the price ought to go in the
near future to twenty cents a pound,
even IL the cotton crop was increased
TO eighteen or twenty million bales.
We further predicted that the
price of cotton would begin to rise
Just as soon as the cotton mill people
and the country generally began to
feel that there was no danger Of an
other free trade Democratic National
administration.
To-day cotton has climbed up to
eleven and one-half cents a pound.
This is due almost entirely to the
fact that the general belief is that
the country will escape the calamity
of another Democratic National ad
ministration. AS that belief grows,
the price of cotton will continue to
rise.
This rise in the price of cotton has
taken place in the face Of the fact
that the South has produced not only
fifteen million bale crop, but has
produced over sixteen million bales of
cotton. The South will probably pro-
duce this year seventeen or eighteen
million bales, and if there is Repub-
lican President and a Republican ad-
ministration, we confidently expect to
see the next cotton crop, no matter
how large it is, sell for at least fiji
teen cents a pound.

DEMOCRATIC COTTON BILL WILL
HURT THE SOUTH.

We publish in another column
some extracts from an interview by
Mr.. d. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte. in
which he points out the Injustice of
the cotton bill reported by the Dem
ocratic Congress, and in which he
shows how the effect of the bill, if il
should become law, would not only
hurt the cotton mills of the South
but would hurt the farmer himself,
Mr.. Tompkins significantly called
attention to the fact that the Demo-
cratic House never attempts to do
anything to help business, but al
ways to hurt business. In this case.
he shows that they are proposing a
bill that will not only hurt business
but will hurt the wealth producer as

WHY COTTON is RISING.

Last fall, when the price of cotton
had fallen to eight cents a pound
the Democratic politicians in this
State and over the whole South be-
came so frightened that they felt it
was necessary to try to divert the at
tention Of the people from the real
cause of low prices for the chief prod
uct OF the South. No one knew bet
ter than they that the falling price
of cotton had been caused by the
threat of a Democratic Congress to
tear down the protecting tariff wall
for American products and American
labor.
IN order to try to divert the atten-
ton of the people from the real
cause, they fell back upon their old
cry of "over-production"
1t will be remembered that when
cotton was selling at cents, under
the Cleveland administration, that
every Democratic politician and news
paper in the South tried to explai,
this calamity by charging that the
cause of the low price was due to the
fact that Providence had sent two
much sunshine and showers to make
favorable conditions for big crops
and that the people had worked too
hard and had created too much
wealth. In short, they charged that
low prices and hard times had been
brought about by Providence and by
those who had produced too much
wealth.
With the election of the present
Democratic House, which threatened
the same conditions that the people
suffered under the Cleveland admin
istration, again there began to be
stagnation of business and falling
prices, and again the same old cry of
"over-production" was raised. Every
Democratic newspaper and politician
in the South said that the low price
of cotton was because the people had
produced fifteen million bale crop.
and that this was more cotton than
the world needed. and that the only
remedy was for the people next year
to make less cotton.
The Caucasian at the time exposed
their false cry by showing that the
demand for cotton was increasing
faster than the increased production
of the South could supply the de-
mand. We pointed to the fact that
millions upon millions of people in
Europe and in the Orient who had
never before used cotton goods, were
fast discarding wool and other fab
RIGS and were each year using more
and more cotton fabrics of every
kind
We also pointed to the fact that

CREDIT is DUE TO CHAIRMAN
MOREHEAD.

The news which We get from every
quarter OF the State is that the Re-
publican voters have this year paid
their poll tax in larger numbers than
ever before. Credit for this is due
to State Chairman Morehead who
sent out thousands and tens of tbou-
sands of letters to party workers in
every voting precinct in the State
urging them to canvass their nra-
clncts and see that every republican
voter paid his poll tax before the
first Of May.
This is the first time that the Pc
publican party has ever had a Chair
man who has given any proper at
