The tiring of the Russian Baltic fleet
upon a lieet of Knglish fishing smacks
in the North Sea was a horrihle thing,
and the tierce indignation of the Eng
lish pecj.le on account of it is under
standable in a sense. In another view
Of the case it is not, for the English are
a composed, self contained people, and
that their anger should burn against
the whole empire of Russia, and the
government at St. Petersburg, is not
quite like them. It is utterly incon
ceivable thai the Russian government
was behind this attack, and if it was
not, Hrhish wrath should not be visited
up mi the whole Russian people. The
most the Russian government was
guilty c f, reasoning by all the rules of
common sense, was putting a hair
brained commander iu charge of the
Bilti- ileet, or if he was not the guilty
man, ptitiing in charge of a warship a
captain who had no more seqse than to
give the command to fire under these
circumstances. The best theory thaf.
ran be advanced, in advance of the of
ficial r 'port of the Russian Commander,
is that somebody got rallied, mistook
the poor fishermen for Japaueee, and
urea upon them in that belief. The
story is that ever since leaving Libarj,
which they did ou the Iti h inst., on
their voyage of 1.3,000 miles to Vladi
vostok, every br-dy on the Baltic tleet
has been scared to death, expecting to
be blown up at any minute by Japanese
torp' do boats. Who knows this we are
unprepared to say, but that is the story,
and if it is true, it would well account
for a degree ( f nervousness which might
explain anything. Of course the officer
who gave the command to tire, whether
1 the Conim-iader of the ll :et or the rr-
Uin of the ves-el from which the shots
were delivered, should be hanged from
th" yar 1 ar.n of his own vessel if there
are yard anus mi battleship but no
li, idy of ordinary rea-oni- g power can
bIi(.ve that the Russian government
per is responsible for the outrage.
It is safe to ssv that it will make article
HpolVgy an.l all the repiration possible.

Republican orators object seriously
when Democrats confront them with
their record. They become particularly
incensed when they are reminded that
they put one thousand negroes in office
in North Carolina when they were in
power. They now claim to be the
"lily white" party, and declare they
are as much in favor of white suprem
acy as the Democrats. What are the
facts ?
This paper could print forty columns
about the Republican candidates in the
several counties showing that from
John R. Smith down to or up to ex
Rev. Babb the Republican candidates
in nearly every county are the same
sort of cattle that were elected to office
in 8'.4 and 18, and in not a few in
stances they are the very same men.
As an illustration of the difference
in treatment white Republicans and
negro politicians receive at the hands
of Republicans leaders, Mr. J. W. San
ders, in the Morehead Coaster, cites the
following :
they can't do a thing they would do
if they could? Is a man any lees thief
because he is in jail and can't steal?
book at Carl Duncan as a sample of
what they have done and would do if
they were in power. To poor David
Sharp, of Carteret, a white man, he
gives a place out of doors in the cold,
heat and rain to guard convicts at 83
cents per day, and Jim Young, a negro,
a clerkship under him in a comfortable
office at $;i a day. Is Duncan any bet
ter now that the negro is out of politics
than he was before? If so let's see the
change : Jim Young given 83 cents
and poor David Sharp $3 per diem.
That would be demonstrated proof and
no other will be convincing. It wou't
be done, and when you vote the Re
publican ticket you vote for a party
that would if they could dominate the
State with negroism. Tney are shorn
of power, but the principle remains the
same."

Sl IIMU THE CO.nPAY.
Fairbrother's Everything.
Last summer a couple of soldiers who
were returning from a state encamp'
ment were killed on the A. it N. C.
railroad. They were riding on top of a
passenger coach without lauthority
and against all rules and customs, and
it nappened that their necks were
broken or their heads crushed, or some
thing happened that caused "death be
cause of a covered bridge.
And straightway a suit is brcijht
at Durham, where the unfortunate vic
tims lived, to recover something like
13,000. And under the law the
railroad must answer. The men
had paid their fare and they
knew as all the world knows that
they had no business on top of the
passenger coach. They took their lives
in their own hands when they violated
the printed and well-known rules of the
railroad company, and the heirs should
not recover a single cent.
It iB alleged that the railroad com
pany knew they were riding on top of
j the coach and that it was its duty to
have informed them of danger. And
such Qiap trap will go before a jury in
this country. The facts are the men
knew they had no business there. They
knew, as every other man, woman and
child knows, that the top of a passen
ger coach is not the place to ride, a ad
if they rode there and were killed and
messed up the property of the company
with their blood and hair and bones,
their estate, if they had any, should be
taxed to pay the damage sustained by
the company. That would le simple
justice but the chances are that a jury
will be found to return a verdict for the
amount asked net because it is justice,
at all, but because there is a chance to
"sock It to" a railroad cDmpany.

not pay the wheat-growers to put soils in
wtieat that will not produce at least 12
biashels to the acre when wheat is
worth per bushel. Tuis will allow
$2 per acre for fertilizers. The cost of
rais'mg wheat is difficult to determine
with anything like accuracy. The
price of labor, the rental value of the
land, the facilities for reaching mark
ets, the risks from diseases or in
jurious insects are all important
factors in the determination if this
problem. But it is believed that
by the use of improved implements
far sowing, harvesting and thresh
ing the average crop may be re
duced to $10 per acre. If the yield,
therefore, can be increased to '20
bushels per acre, the profits will be
twice as much if only 1" bushels rer

'REPCBLItlK POLICIES"
NEEDED.
News and Observer.
Candidate Harris says he "knows no
State that needs Republican policies
more than does North Carolina." What
are "Repubhcin policies" in North
Carolina? So far as the platform and
the speeches are concerned and the
record of 1815-1901, the Republican
policies are:
1. Negro rule, with 1,000 negroes in
office.
-. Scandals in every department of
government.
3. Graft and stealing everywhere in
and out of the penitentiary.
4. Prostitution ot education to poli
tics that knew no racial difference in
management.
5. Hostility to temperance and sub
serviency to illegal whiskey stills and
corrupt revenue doodles.
G. Contempt for Confederate soldiers
and refusal to care for their aged and
infirm.
7. Opposition to appropriations for
education, the insane, the helpless, and
other worthy causes.
8. Advocacy of or acquiescence iD
the plan to rob North Carolina of one
third of its representation in Congress
and the electorial college.
'.. Approval of or acquiescence in
social equality.
These are the only "Republican poli
cies known in North Carolina. Does
this State need them ? The voters will
answer on the eighth day of November.

THE
HUNTERS CAWIE TOO
LATE
Their Faithful Dog has pointed out the True Remedy to Prevent Baldness.
VJuroniC Diuiius is nituiuuiu
but the Hunters came too late
HERPICIDE A "HAIR-SAVER."
Nevvbro's Herricide sjves the Imir by destruying the
trcrm or microbe that is now known to be the cause of
diuidmtf . falling hair and baldness. In chronic bald
ness the lmir follicles are completely atrophied, causing
the scalp to shriuk and shine : little can be done in such
c;.sos except to save the remaining "fringe," and this is
well worth saving, for it offers some protection against
the coltl.
The ' Hair Orower" is a fallacy. It requires hut a
slight knowledge of Anatomy to know that the hair ets
its life and strength from the huir-tapilla at the bottom
of the hair follicle, and the papilla in turn gets its nour
ishment direct from the blood ; therefore, nature is the
ouly true hair grower. There are enemies of hair
growth that cause hair loss and baldness. Invisible
microbic growths enter the sebaceous glands, situated
at the top of the hair follicles (Dr. Sabonraud, of Paris,
savs the micro!- usually enters the sculp m youth i
where one colony after another is established, until
finallv, after mouths and sometimes years, there is data
dnifl itching scalp and falling hair. The Sebum also
solidifies, causing dry, lustreless and brittle hair. De
stroy this microbe growth with Newbro's Herpicnle and
profoet the hair against re-iufection, and it will grow
us nature intended.
Newbro's Ilerpicide is a Twentieth Century Remedy.
Its mission l- to tench new

on account of its dainty and refreshing odor, which is
characteristic. U e ntains no oil. grease or sedemen tary
