Politics in North Carolina and more especially in Chatham county, seems to be on the rampage. Things have become so desperate that it is carried out to the letter in the several voca tions of the folks in general. Demo crats want a democratic doctor and they want democratic lawyers, they want their teamsters, chauffeurs, their hirlings in any capacity to hew strict ly to the line and have “no other.” So long as conditions exist as they are today Chatham county or any oth er county will progress. There is not the same degree of cooperation as there otherwise would be and good, true men are being driven from the party ranks by the methods that are employed. Everyone knows that the editor of this paper is a Democrat, but we have made every effort to play fair in running an independent paper. We appreciate the fact that there is t some very able men in the Republican. party, even in Chatham county. Men 1 who are sincere, of good common | sense and who have friends that will resent unfair things, and it does seem that those in power could get aw r ay from the old stereotype “now is the time for all good men to come to the aid o* the pariv.” There has been some rough criti cism of this paper by those who would “hew to the line” because we pub lished the letter in regard to the en gagement of A. W. McLean speaking at the Chatham County Fair. We want to repeat thaL-ip-have Mr. Mc- Lean there is an unwise move. It will certainly not do the Fair any good, it will not further the interests oi the Democratic party and it will not have influence to coordinate the very best feelings in the county among Chat ham’s good citizens, both Democrats and Republicans. It so happens that the stockholders of the Fair are pretty well divided, if anything more Republicans are at the helm with their money than any one else and we fail to see the advisa bility of having a prospective candi date for governor op the Democratic ticket to' make a speech’ at 'our local Fair. This article is written on Friday be fore Fair week. As to whether Mr. McLean will fall for the “disclaim” or not we do not know. We do know that it will be suicidal for himself and to the Fair in Chatham county. The Republicans are not asleep and they will awaken more acutely than ever. They realize that everything in this world changes except justice. Once the world was a flaming mass of liquid fire. It was once destroyed by a flood. At last it became what we call solid, little by little, until now, ac cording to calculations of scientists, it is as “rigid as steel.” Remember, folks, J > t the once ter rible dodo bird with wings, but not able to fly and with brain but not able to think, had to go. Time changes, men change but priciples never! The monach of today, both harmless and useless vn'll ahve to go the way of the dodo bird. ' - CHATHAM FAIR PULLS BONER Raleigh Times| There are conflicting reports as to whether Angus Wilton McLean will make an address at the Chatham County Fair. The first statement was that he hsd accepted an invitation. Then officials of the fair were said to have written Mr. McLean a letter telling him that the invitation had been extended with out their knowledge or consent and that they could find no place for him on their program. Now comes word that a place has been found. Another splendid argument for dis pensi g with speeches at air. There can be no excuse for the embarrass ment caused a decent citizen by rais ing the question in the newspapers of whether his presence is desirable at the community’s big occasion. The Chatham Record, which had to go to press before the returns were all in, approves editorially the decision of the unfair fair officials and gives it as its opinion that no candidate should be allowed to appear on the program. We suppose everything that hap pens to a candidate in North Carolina is news; but this whole incident would never have reached the public if Chat ham had had the proper sort of dis cretion. The worst feature of it is that Mr. McLean, to avoid the appearance of evil humor, will be virtually compelled to attend the fair. If he has any trouble with prepar ing a speech, we’d like to contribute a paragraph. It wouldn’t contain any remarks that would make votes for Mr. McLean, perhaps, but it might help to ease his feelings. The Little Samaritan Knows. Greensboro News. As Chatham County is the home of stout Old Guarder Walter Siler, it should be right difficult to establish the suspicion that anv J. W. Bailey man recalled the McLean invitation to speak to a county fair. , North Carolina is to have four state fisheries. They will cost the state j $200,000. But see what they will do for the state —bring in millions and 1 millions of money. They remind us , of Gump’s hair brush factory. He had SIOO,OOO to start with but in paying for the plans and building the factory 1 it cost over $200,000. Where is the money to come from to pay off the la borers. Politicians are building the j fish hatcheries and politicians, and not the people, will get the benefit of * them. . i r. —' .Q— ■ M People are getting tired of paying subscriptions. Every time a certain class of citizens, clubs or churches want to raise a lot of money they start a campaign to beg and worry the people until they get several thou sand dollars. By the time o.;e cam paign ends some other organization starts another one. Raleigh just fin ished a campaign for $70,000 for the Y. W. C. A. A campaign for SIO,OOO was recently had in the same city for the Salvation Army, and we notice that some man is calling on the peopie for $2,500,000 more after they have given the cause he is working for $lB - There are too many cam paigns and too much begging going on. THE CHATHAM AFFAIR. Tom Bost in Greensboro News. Chatham county’s Fair with its po litical exhibits as described by Ernest Hunter in this mornings Daily News almost takes Raleigh s eyes off its own. me recalling of an invitation to A. W. McLean to speak at the Fair was much more mysterious than a Robe- „ son county slight to J. W. Bailey. It did not take long to find out the trou ble there. A school principal, accoid ir.g to news brought to Raleigh, had lost out. He was not going back for the next year. He doubtless did not like the place and for commencement or ator he chose Mr. Bailey. Members of the school board who had not re-elect ed the teacher, resented the invitation and made him take it back. The thing got in the papers. The Ku Klux got the credit for the stunt and Mr. Bailey reaped a slight [ advantage from that. But the Kluck i ers did not recive the Bailey kick more I than once bestowed upon them, until after the Parkton episode. The Mc- Lean members of the school board were credited with a spirit of intoler ance unwilling to hear the opposition to their candidate. But the real truth as it comes from the teacher who ex ecuted the deal was that he knew he had not been elected and he was de termined to put the board in a hole. The Robeson candidate was much - worse hurt than the board members 2 who handled the affair just about as |[ bunglesomely as the teacher guessed |[ they would. ;> out everybody in Chatham seems <! to be denying the politics of' it and the sleuthing of Mr. Hunter is made ![ ' all the more difficult. Naturally an in- ij vitation from Walter Siler’s county ]> to Mr. Siler’s candidate for governor j! would arouse the suspicion of Mr. < Siler’s enemies, of whom he has plenty ! and to spare. Mr. Siler belongs to an ! order of politics that invites much. J Invites men to become candidates for j office and invites others who would ; like to be, not to be. Such invitations < have been much extended in this year I and they will be good for all of next. ! There was a suspicion here that a | member of the old guard did this trick J to make it appear that some sympa- ; thizer of Mr. Bailey had done it, but j Mr. Hunter has nailed that bad guess. ! The region in which he is operating ! is distinctly in anti-old guard realms. 4 But the Siler opposition, if it has done ; this trick hasn’t helped. The former I solicitor just thrives on boneheads of this character. In the language of the ! county chairman whose candidate was 1 in a rage about a campaign canard. J “I knowed it would help you when I ; written it.” < DOINGS AT ROSCOE. Roscoe, Oct. 15.—We enjoy the Rec ord so much. u Despite the numerous visiting we ' had a good attendance at Sunday ! school.
