The Asheboro Courier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. WKntered at the lost Office at Ashcboco ac 'ecum! C.K Matter. The Republicans will only have five votes iu the State Senate of 1907. The carrying or Ashe county by the Democrats in the recent election is another evidence of a state wide Democracy. There is little doubt but that Judge Adams realizes how little the 1 people in this State think of him and his cause. The methods of the Republican arty in the recent campaign, have won for their voters the contemp of the decent people of the State. North Carolina is a well giverneilj placed behind the b.irs and rascals state. Its insane asylums, peniten- j are turned out of otiiee. Were it tiary and many of its state institu- not for the courts honestly adininia tious are models in their manage- tered, political thieves would be meat, j intrenched in power, and it would j he impossible to nab them or con- Many people think tint th- manufacture of paper will, in a gieat measure he revolutionized by the recent invention of manufactur ing paper from cotton stalks. The cottin stalk will take the place of wood pulp. - Let the next Legislature take into consideration, first, the pro viding for the care of more of the insane in the State; next for youth ful criminals, aud larger appropri ations for the old soldiers. We need a Reformatory for youthful criminals, and we need to increase largely the Appropriations for the old soldiers. Let's all work together for the upbuilding of the town. Everyone cannot contribute money, but every one can prove of use by talk ing in favor of enterprises. Local enthusiasm is valuable and helpful to almost any enterprise. Ic is often the case that a good word has advanced an enterprise and chang ed a failure to a success. A great fight was made on the Legislature, but there has been an increase in one branch of the Le, Llature. Instead of a decrease of Democratic members, the Repub lican party has received rebuke for its alliance with Marion Butler, who, no doubt, had some nefarious cheme to carry out. A solid Democratic delegation in Congress is encouraging to the Deuo'racy; and an increased Democratic majori ty in many counties, gives assurance that there has not been the Demo, cratic apathy which many supposed there was throughout the State. In State vsClay Garner, tried at the last term of Davidson Superior Court for attempting to influence a a witness of the State to swear falsely, the judgment was confirmed by a per curiam order. Garner was convicted and sentenced to twelve months on the public roads lie will have to serve his sentence. This should be a lesson to others not to talk or try to influence wit nesses in any case. Another case from Davidson is that of State vs Horace Adams, who was convicted of larceny and sentenced to six 'months. The Su preme Court confirmed the opinion of the lower Court, and he too, will j have to Serve his aeutenn In the remit campaign the Re publicans in Johnston county de clared themselves in favor of free liquor, and denounced the Demo ciatic party as a Prohibition party. The Democratic party planted itself in that county upon the Watts and the Ward law and made no pretence upon being Prohibitionists or anti Prohibitionisis, but advocated the principles in those two Acts. The Republicans condemned the Acts in the severest terms, and promised to do everything that was wanted to be done, such as the es. tabliehment of still houses and sa loons in every section of the county. At least, they promised to do these things where it was popular, and advocated it to those who favored t. In the campaign they told us that the days of Butler, Russell and Fusion times were old issues, and that we should not refer to those times. If the Democratic party had been defeated in the State at the recent election and that party hud gotten back into power, you ' ! would have seen the dav come to life. They told us the negro question was a dead issue. It is ti dead issue only so long as the Demo cratic party remains in power, ai.d no longer. Restore the Republi can party to power in North Caro- I Una, and yon will see how soon these so-called "dead issues" will ! revive and become questions of im- j portant public interests. i The well-being of every citizen, whether lich or poor, depends upon ineorruptable, unbiased aud impar tal administration of public jus tice in the courts. The ecu-ts are the great safe guard of the people; it is through tiwm th it thieves are trol them, or even of oilice. turn them 01 Iu the recent campaign the Re publican party demanded a vote in every county on the liquor question, advocating Prohibition in the Coun ty of litincombe, and free liquor in Johnston county. In other coun ties they took such positions as they thought would gai n them votes. There were many counties in which they reported in one section that they were for o.ie thing, and iu another section that thev were for another. The corrupt use of money in elections is the mott demoralizing influence which we have to con tend with at the present time. When money can earry elections then those who have most moneV will always be successful; and so long as money controls in elections, just so long will corporations and trusts prevail throughout th country. Now is the time of year to plant shade trees and fruit trees. W would be glad to see our city Coun oil take some steps for the improve ment of the town, and encourage the same by doing missionary work among the citizens. All our new streets should have shade trees planted along them without further delay. Within the last few years a pic cess has been descovered which has made saw-dust of more value than lumber. By the use of hydaulic pressure and intense heat uniting it with alum and glue, a solid mass capable of being moulded into any shape, receiving a brilliant polish, is the result. The colors shown on Tuesday of last week were not the kind that Butler and Adams like. The af fairs of the State and the County will remain in the hands of those who love her most, and not in the hands of those who have neve, given the State or county good government. The Republican campaign in this State was based on a low plane; by insinuation aud innuendo, graft was suggested upon honest men whose integrity could not be nues- lioiled with 1Y."feIvnce t0 the State Uoard of Education. The entire State Republican ticket was defeated in New York with the exception of the Governor, Mr. Hearst was defeated aud many Democrats rejoice in the facfy be cause they do not believe that he real Democrat. The biggest steal that has ever been made in America was the graft connected with the erection of the New State Capiiol of Pennsylvania, which cost the tax payers $13,000 000. In proportion to the amount of money need i& the campaign, just to that proportion does the par chaseble vote increase at each election. Senator Simmons is entirely cor rect w hen he says that the recent election was the greatest Democrat ic victory we have- won since 1S98. Quoting from a recent interview Mr. Simmons says: "It is a rebuke in the attempted interference of feiteral ofliee holders in this state Jwith our local politics, aud I do not believe we will ever again see in North Carolina the spectacle of the big postmaster run ning for oilice and stumping the state at the same time. "It is a disgraceful spectacle that of a man, while holding a high federal office, running for a state office. "It is an emphatic answer to the claims of the Republicans that the trend in North Carolina was away from the Democratic party. It is a rebuke to the attempt to revive Butler in this state. It means that the people of this state have no pa tience with the campaign of misre piesentation und deception, of abuse and villitieation which Butler, through his papers, has attempted a second tune to introuiice in this state. It is a notice to Butler and his crowd that, though they fooled the people once by systematic and persistent mUtepreseutation, they can't do it again." We complain about the trust evil Mini about combinations pi Hit nil line legislation, wnne nuie is saiu a'jout the use of money in elections. The use of m uiey for votes is shameful, no matter whether the j money is paid for the day's work or paid as a direct brine; it is all the same. When elections are controlled by the check book or by cash and t!:ese are used to influence the conscience, aud to corrupt and debauch the oters, the time is rapidly approaching when only the very rich, the very powerful and the very wealthy, or the tools of the big corporations can succeed in holding any office. This does not apply to some states, but to many stites. It is nut so bad in the Southern States as in the Northern, Middle and Western states. The hit Republican State Con vention at Greensboro refused to indorse or condemn the Watts law or the Ward law, but adopted a platform which was most absurd indeed, providing for an election in eveiy county aud every town to de termine for itself by vote, as to whether or not liquor should be made or sold iu its limits. That is to say, that if a majority of the people of a county have already voted against whiskey or for whiskey, then any town iu the county should take the question up and vo e on it itself; notwithstanding the fact that the whole county had been carried for or against the sale or manufacture of liquor. This fea'ure of the plat form was worked for everything it I was worth in every section of the State where there was a sentiment for free liquor. The recent Uepublic.ui Conven tion iu Randolph would not declare in favor of the sale of liquor in this county; vet Mr. English, in more than one speech, intimated as plainly as words could intimate without saying so, that he favored it. What he did say was that Randolph liquor was as good as liquor in Salisbury aud other places. He had forgotten that the country people did not want bar looms. Yeais ago, tlvy petitioned the Commissioners of var ious counties all over North Carolina and both Republican legislatures left it to the discretion of the Com missioners whether they should grant license or not. The sale of liquor, by common consent, has been re- toredjto the towns. It is said that the oyster, unlike all warm-blooded animals, exerts an antiseptic action on the typhoid jerm, ana it is now claimed ty some medical experts, that oysters are the best preventive and cure for typhoid lever. There is a great demand for residences and business buildings in Asheboro, and those who desire to make investments can do so with profit to themselves. Represeatative Babcock, who was an avowed enemy of the Southern people and white supremacy in the South, has been defeated for re election as a member of the next Congress in Wisconsin. up Say Read ALAMANCE COUNTY ELEC j TION. j The Democrats have carried Ala j mat c county by a small majority,! except the sheriff and a representa tive in tl.e General Assembly. Dr. J. A. Pickett defeated W. 11. Carroll by'li) majority. Dr. Pickett is a brother of Pat Pickett and Jarvis Pickett, of this county, and was born and reared iu Cedar Grove township. J. D. Kernodle, Democrat, was elected Clerk Superior Court by a majority of T. The State ticket, Congressional and Solicitor is Demo cratic; so is the State Senator. Some of the County Commissioners are Republican aud some Democratic. It is as the Courier predicted before the election, that here und there might be a Republican official elected in the State. Out of the 97 CJunties rrom sixteen have gone Republican. The whole State is Democratic from Stokes and Surry counties to the sea coast, with the exception of Sampson, and a greatly reduced Republican majority in that county. REPUBLICAN LOSSES IN THE STATE. There is an iucrease in the Dem ocratic vote of several thousand votes, and a loss in the Republican cast of 15,000 votes. No one who knows Adams' and aud Butler's methods of coHducting the campaign is surprised at this loss. The uufairness and trickery of Bfitler, aud the ignorance and low ideas, bitterness and hatred of Adams, are enough in themselves to account for the disastrous results of the campaign which they conducted. Our people should awake to the importance of public education, and the attention of the public mird should be called, from time to time, to the importance of public schools. We should do more', we should sup plement the public schools by in creasing the length of terms by sub scription. We must do more; we must pay better prices to public school teachers iu order to get more aid better ones. Chairman, W. J. Scarboro, of the County Democratic Committee, has made a fine name for himself and a fine reputation, aud the Democrats of this' county owe him a vote of thanks. It is possible that there was never lo doubt of the election in the county, but the Chairman's untiring efforts during the closing days of the campaign, and especial ly his effort in stirring up the Demo crats of the county to more active work, had much to do with making the majority as it was- They glorify Roosevelt and con demn Hearst for advocating one and the same thing. 1 Vigorous Health is the most Dependable Wealth to possess.
