An Unexpected Ascension
Carried heavenward by one foot by
the premature ascension of a balloon,
James Smith, of Bladen county, dandled
h jaddown 1,000 feet in the air, climbed
to the parachute bar and floated for a
mile eastward from the Cumberland
tair grounds at Fayettville last week,
landing with the balloon without injury,
when he became entangled in the
rigging of a hot air balloon as it rose
from its pit at the fair grounds.
Smith was an innocent bystinder i

The Kitchinits have been plastering
Bryans mug at different prominent
points. Beneath his picture printed in

“Simmons ought to be defeated,” and
further down advises to support Kitch-
in. Some or.e with brains capeable of
explaininsr, should tell what this in
finity selfish and impertnent re
marks has got to do with Mr. Kitch-
ins candidacy. In the first place it is
a species of unwarrented intermedling
from Mr. Bryan, In the second place
he has never said that Kitchin was
any more fit tu be senator than is

Bryan a demi god? Mr. Simmons told
him in plain english it was time for
him to stop running after he had been
defeated three times for the Presi
dency, and the old “thing” got mad
about it and that ii all there is to It.
Senator Simmons spoke to an im

Thursday in behalf of his candidacy,
strongly asserting that his record was

Senate, for it was made in what he
conceived to be the best interests of

his opponents; but put his side of the
case before people whom he thought
were friendly, and asked them to en
dorse his candidacy by reason of its

The lamentations of Manager Mc-
Ninch are voiced unreservedly in his
last political advertisement. This time
the wail goes up over the recent action
of the Democratic State Executive
Committee in permitting scratching of
tickets and barring from the senatorial
box only those who have voted for a
Republican. That was what the Kitch
in people wanted. They raised more
dust about the first ruling of the com
mittee than did both the other factions.
The new ruling will not only work
equally fair to each of the three can
didates, but will prove of positive >n?n-
efit to Kitchin in the fifth district. We
should have thought that with his past
sad experience Manager NcNinch
would have had his eyes open to the

Bryan Does not Favor
Kitchin
It is an other dirty game of Mr.
Kitchin friends, to issue a lot of flam
ing posters in Charlotte, in which
bome of Bryans rot is quoted, and it is
so arranged as to have it appear that
Bryan favors Kitchin, Bryan has
never said a word indicating that he
favored Kitchin, but he has expressed
himself as favorable to Clark.
Bryans objections to Simmons is a
character, because
Murder Most Foul
Murder apparently most foul

G. Thompson, devision freight agent
was shot to death without known pro
vocation in the home of William F.
Blair, having been invited to Blairs
home. As we eo to press we have not
space to giye details, but it is sa d
aided by influential relatives and a
rich legacy from his father who re
cently tied, he will put up a strong
fight for his life, and with the lax
c iminal laws of North Carolina
likely win out.
Simmons had manhood enough to tell i
him that he had run the Democratic
party as near to wreck and ruin a? he
should be permited to do. We rem
ember the circumstance and Mr. Sim
mons language used on that occasion,
was very temperate, more temperate
than Bryan desend, and because Bry

ish soul spite his ransom at Mr. Sim
mons. Kitchin, the smooth adroit
politician tries to have it appear that
Bryan favors him, when he knows
was I there is absolutely nothing to support
such a claim.
We are sorry indeed to learn of the
very serious illness of Mrs. Robert
Cheek. Mrs. Cheek has been a patient
sufferer for sometime with lung trouble
and we hope that she may yet be
spared many days. Mr. Luther Cheek
of Clayton with other relatives are
attending her bedside.

srinks this duty is not a good citizen.
On October 26th Mr. S.'^M. Roberson
succumbed to the infirmities of this
life and quietly and peacefully passed
iuto that blessed rest that is promised
the faithful of the Lord. Mr. Rober
son was a gentleman of the highest
type and a concerated Christian. He
was a member of Cane Creek Baptist
Church but was buried at Moore’s
Chapel near Saxapahaw. He leaves

“Resolved: That in the opinion of
the committee the words ’democratic
ticket’ ns used in the 4th and 10th
rules governing the senatorial primary
adopted by the state convention shall
be construed to permit any elector who
^ shall have voted for nominees of the
I democratic party only and who shall
I not have voted for any candidate on
I any ticket on opposition to the demo-
1 cratic ticket to vote in the senatorial
primary.”
This takes the place of the noted
Hackett resolution formerly adopted
bv the committee and repealed at this
meeting. The Hacket resolution raised
a storm of protest >»s being too iron
clad in that it required that vote in
the senatorial primary an elector must
vote the entire democratic ticket, na

How J. B. McNamara and Ortie E.
McManigal carried away nitroglycerin
by the wagon load was described by
Charles C. Kizer at the trial of the
accused “dynamite plotters” at Indian-
apolif, Ind., last week
Kizer, who now lives at Tulsa, Okla.,
was the manager of a plant for the
manufacture of explosives at Albany,
Ind., when in 1918, he said, the dyna-
j miters began euying nitroglycerin from
inter- ' hauling it away in wagons to
Muncie, Ind. The government, in
charging the 45 men on trial for
complicity, asserts that the McNamaras bath of
resorted to nitroglycerin in blowing up
jobs after they found dynamite was
not strong enough, and that they
rented a houge in Muncie to hide the
explosive.
“One day in response to a telephone
i call from Indianpolis, ” said Kizer, “I
j met J. B. McNamara at Muncie. He
j represented himself as being George
j J. Clark, a contractor of Peoria, 111.,
I and said he wanted nitroglycerin to
blow up some ditches near Indian-
p polis. He said he had tried dynamite
and it was not strong enough. I agreed
to sell him twenty quartd and I deliv
ered it to a farm three mile« from
Albany on Ithe road to Muncie. A
month later he bought thirty quarts.
I did not hear anything from him until
a year later when he and McManigal
bought 120 quarts. When I took it to
the farm they had two rigs waiting
and had prepared 12 boxep in Swhich to
pack the cans. Afterwaids 1 wrote to
Clark at the address given at Peoria,
but the letter was returned.
Within Striking Distance.
Since 1876 the people of the United
States have been seeking relief from
taxes imposed upon them by war and
privilege. They voted against them
that year as Democrats They voted
against them as' Democrats in 1884
and 1892.
Free silver, Cuba and Mark Hanna
diverted their attention, but in 1908
they voted against them again as
Republicans under the promises and
leadership of Mr. laft. They have
accomplished nothing. Many taritf
taxes are higher to-day than they
were when Grant met Lee at Ap
pomattox.
The civil war cost hundreds of thou
sands of lives and $4,000,000,000 in
money. It added $2,700,000,000 to the
national. These are impressive figures,
but there are others.
Trusts organized since Mar»f Hanna’s
time to kill competition and oppress
consumers have capitalized the extor
tionate tariff to the amount of $31,-
000,000,000. One-half of this colossal
sum, or nearly four times the cost of
the greatest of wars, is water.
These thirty-one thousand millions
represent Wall street’s idea of the
value of privilege and monopoly. They
are as much a charge upon the people
as the interest-bearing debt of the
United States. They pinch every
table and every wardrobe. The cost of
living is figured in war prices to-day
because we are still paying the taxes
imposed by war, with the trust plunder
added.
Most people were inclined this year
to end an abuse long recognized when
a new party appeared entreating them
to forget the tariff and to enlist in an
emotional campaign for “social justice.’
Sincere as many who figure in the
movement undoubtedly are, it is
distracting and confusing If successful
it must give the greatest of our wrongs
a new lease of life. This fact accounts
for some of its most powerful sup
porters.—New York World.

And now that Brother Claude has

with the magnetism of his august pres

threats, and warned it lest it turn trait

becalm ourselves to feebly observe
that the sun still shines, autumn leaves

When ia the camps of the governor,
word was whispered abroad that

For who would brook the ire of

dare defy this awe-inspiring champion
of brotherly merit.
But somehow the unexpected has
happened; Simmons still lives and
moves and has his being. He breathes
and dreams and carries on converse
with his fellowmen. Instead of wither

perfidy, he has grown fatter, more con
