The United States Civil Ser
vice Commission announces an
open competitive examination at
the following places: Asheville;
Charlotte; Elizabeth City; Green
sboro; Newbern; Raleigh; Salis
bury; Wilmington on November
15, 1913 to provide a register of
eiigibles from which to make
certificates for filling- vacancies
as they may occur in positions re
quiring the qualifications of
stenographers, typewriter, or
stenography and typewriting in
the federal classified^ civil ser
vice in the vicinity of the places
of examination. ' • ;*
Age 18 years or over on the
date of examination.
Persons who wish to enter ex-
aminati; n should applj at once for
Form 1424 and apphcation Form
1371 to the secretary of thejocal
board of civil service examiners
at the post office in one of the
cities named. Only those appli

Raleigh, Oct. 6.—House and
senate Democrats in caucus to
night voted unanimously to ac
cept the proposition submitted
by the carriers for a settlement
of the western rates, voted 40
to 87 against creating two new
members to the corporatiou com
mission and voted unanimously
to provide the commission with a
rate expert. This action was
taken after the governor, speci’i
ally iniited to address the cau
cus advocated the addition of
two new members as a
great achievment, but not
as a reflection on the
commission, whose members he
gave full credit for their work
in a great achievement. The
action of the caucus is not bind
ing, but it probably represents
the sentiment of the legislature.

Is Craig After Overman’s Job?
Raleigh, N. C.—That Gover
nor Craig will be a, candidate for
United, chutes senator to succeed
Senator Lee S. Overman many
politicians hereabouts say there
is no doubt. The probate settle
ment of the freight rate situa
tion with satisfaction to the gov
ernor what the politicians call
“position. ” First he is a wes
tern man, and the west is entit
led to the senator, the east hav
ing one in Senator Simniong*,;
Second, Governor Craig has
many strong friends who did not
approve of the way Senator Ov
erman stood off in the last con
test and allowed Congressman
Claud Kitchen to use his name
in an effort to injure the senior
senator. Third, Governor Craig
w ill emerjge from the rate fight
a ^reat big man, or he will not.
ii he gets through the fjght
with credit to himself and his
auiiiinistration—and his friends
bujf there is no doubt of this—he
will be in the position to reap
most from the field. The Gov
ernor was the first state execu
tive ever to start something
really looking to a settlement of
freight rates. None of the other
governors made a beginning in
that line.
Representative E. J. Justice of
Guilford has been a fighter, too,
but it is apparent on its face
that he would not have the posi
tion occupied by Governor Craig.
The governor in his message
beat Mr. Justice to freight rates,
and through the corporation com
mission, Mr. Craig has secured a
proposition that he believes is a
start in the right direction.
The other commission failed.
^^Ihe Little Millionaire
“The Little Millionaire" pre
sented at the Casino Friday
night without question was one
of the best threatricul shows that
has visited this town for quite a
while. This show presented to
the people good clesn amusement
which would come as near satis
fying the persons who are look
ing for amusement as is general
ly-found. In connection with
the blay quite a number of songs
were used, eacL making a hit by
being used at the prper time.
Roman Catholic. He may not
wear a crucifix and he ma y not
attend mass, but he is the. avow
ed champion of a policy more
conductive to the spread of the
Catholic religion than a south
east Georgia swamp ia to the
propagation of mosquitoes.
“By their fruits ye shall know
them.’’ “By throwing down
the tariff bars and inviting the
nations of the earth to come in
to the United States with their
cheap wares and merchandise,
he in like manner, invites the
cheap emigrant, because it is an
invariable rule that emigration
follows the tide' of trade, and
three-fourths of the emigrants
to this country are Roman Catho
lics. And again, we are bound
to admit that Free Trade means
that the American manufacturer,
to hold his own, will resort to
cheaper labor, thus driving out
the higher priced workman and
filling their places with cheapen
labor from the old coun
tries, thus will the mills, mines
and factories gradually be filled
with immigrant labor whiie the
American workingman will be
driven into other lines of employ
ment. We have noted how rail
road and coal companies during
the times of high wages, resort
to the method of importing for-
einers because they will work
cheaper than Americans. Thus,
Free Trade, in less than five
years, will add at least a half
million Catholics to our popula
tion. And no one doubts for a
minute that President Wilson is
the strongest antagonist of the
Protective Tariff idea in the
known world. We have no
doubt but that Woodrow Wilson
would get down on his allfours
and kiss the pope's ingrowing
toe nail if he thought that would
permanently establish Free Trade
in the United States. At any
rate, we know he was so deter
mined to show partialitv to Rome
that he selected and appointed a
Roman Catholic as his private
secretary, thus ignoring over
twenty million communicants of
the Protestant churches and
singled out a m.an from an or
ganization that cast less than a
million votes.
Thus summed up, we see that
Free Trade Roman and Cathol
icism go hand in hand. Protec
tion is a patriotic protest of Am
erican people against the indus
trial slavery and low wages of
other countries, just as a Protes
tantism was a protest against
the domination of the Church of
Rome. No intelligent man will
dare dispute this proposition.
So, Mr. Protestand Democrat,
if there to be and “R omaniz-
ing’, of the United States, and
we h«ar it on every side that
there is, then just lemember if
you please, that Woodrow Wil
son is " ‘the greatest Eoman of
them all, He is preparing the
biggest dose of Free Trade that
was ever stuffed down the
throats of a majority of the peo
ple of this cduntry and he is the
first President of the United
States t(T place a Roman Catho
lic in his private office in the
White House to open and read
his mail and answer his letters.

Romanizing America.

SChOOL NEWS
The first teachers meeting of
the year which was held last
Saturday was a complete success.
Miss Reinhardt, the county Sup-
et visor for white schools read a
paper on “Some things a Rural
teacher may Do” that was full
of practical instruction for the
improvement of the various
phases of school life.
Dr. Harper, Pres, of Elon
College, made a most excellent
address on “Teaching the Less
on.It was clear pointed and
practical. The kind of address
the teacher could take home with
her and use.
Many plans for the years work
was given out by the Supt. and
discussed.
The interest manifested by
the large number of teachers
present 72 in number was very
gratifying. It indicates promis
ing hopes for a successful school
year.

new room to their house. This
will make for that place a con

Rvari's storv of the govern*
or's alleged effort to make p^ace
with the leader of Tammany jflaf
was his second recital of m
tempt on the part of the gover
nor to obtain political influence
to the trial. Ryan testified
Monday that Sulzer had asked
him to persuade United States
Senator Elihu Root to get the
New York Republican state
chairman, William Barnes, Jr.
to influence the Republican mem
bers of the court of impeachment
to vote the Impeachment trial
illegal.
The latter testimony was stri
cken out by a vote of the court,
32 to 18 but today on motion of
Elon R. Brown, the senate RepU“ •
blican leader, the court in execu
tive session reconsidered Its ac
tion and by a vote of 41 to 14 de
cided to admit the testimony
open the door for the remainder
of the ypun g financiers story.
Ryan took the stand immedia
tely after the secret session. H&
said that Sulzer had asked hins'
to obtain the offices of Delaneej
Nicoll, attorney for the elfe
Ryan, as a “go-betvveen’’ in the
proposed negotiations with the
Tammany leader. This request^
he said the governor made a
week before the impeachmenSi
trial began and in the governor’jB
New York office. Ryan said he
made no effort to see Mr. NicdlL
Ryan, did however, make an
effort of his own, he said, te-
“sound the Republican senti
ment.” This, he said, he testi
fied, through a friend."
It appeared from his testiraoni
that his friend had,vseen Chtet'
mnn Barnes and obtained frorr;
him a statement “that the Resjfc*
blican organization would d/'
nothing."
