Wholesale Neglect. rlt's a remarkable fact, ; cold and ' startling, but we don't mind re peating it, that the Republicans of ; this district even in all districts ?' and throughout the national Re- Vpublican ranks1 possess the happy and far-sighted fatfulty of paying : their poll tax. This procedure means both party gain and party welfare, brooks defeat and pushes forward unto telling advancement, : It is never that you see a Repub- v I i c an. repelled at. the polls because incident Jto a purely political gov ; of this failure.

Cocke the Man.; -With the renomination of Grant by the republicans of tKoj district and the fixing of the time aDd place for holding . the democratic con gressional convention and . the' se- ection of Hon. -M. L. Shipraan to succeed Hon. . W. X Lee as xhair- man of the democratic congression al executive committee, the cam pain in the district is well on. The renomination" 6t -Representative Grant by his party means that the democrats this year must again contest with the Henderson county man for representation in the Con gress of these United States. The neoDle and the press of the district evidently believe that Hon. ViW Ham J. Cocke of Buncombe is the man to make the face against Grant and indications are that he will be nominated and elected. ; The press is most friendly disposed to Mr. Cocke while the leaders of the dis trict express confidence in his abili ty to redeem the district when nominated. ' The Hendersonville Hustler says "we need more democrats like Mr. Cocke claims himself to be, and which statement his past political record fully sustains." The Hayesville Herald of Clay county says that the nominee of the democratic party must be vig orous, . fearless, able and. active; that he must be invulnerable; that he must be a mixer and a man filled with enthusiasm. rThe Herald editorially says that Cocke is the man. "He knows not defeat," says the Herald, and we believe he will carry the district to certain victory if nominated." Thd Tryon Bee in Polk county speaks highly of Mr. Cocke and says that his record is perfectly clean; that his democratic princi- Dies and manly manner commend him.to the voters of the district as one. who would make good if nomi nated. The Gazette-News of Asheville, (Ind.) speaks highly of Mr. Cocke and said that his announcement was a clarion call to an increasing number of friends and supporters and a challenge to political foe. The Waynesville Courier in re ferring to Mr. Cocke's announce ment says 'The Courier is of the opinion that Mr. Cocke's straight forward presentation of his posi tion will meet a favorable response from the voters of the district," It further says we commend Mr. Cocke for hitting the bull's eye at the first fire." The Sylvan Valley News of Bre vard in a strong editorial endorse ment of Mr. Cocke says that if any democrat can win we believe it is W. J. Cocke; we believe that Mr. Cocke is the most available candi date." The Bryson City Times of Swain county recently, said editorially i . i i: . iwib we ueueve a great majority of the democrats of Swain countv favor Mr. Cocke as their congres sional nominee;" and "it-is the opinion of the Times that the Democrats of the district could make no mistake by placing their standard in -the hands of Mr. Cocke.77 The Forest City Herald speaks in high terms of Mr. Cocke and believes that no man could make a stronger race for Congress than he. ' - Mr. Cocke's friends are enthusi astic over the strong support that is being given the Buncombe man while from his home county, they say, come indication that he will carry Buncombe; that he is grow- ing rapioivin lavor-not. only in Buncombe buL all over, the dis trict and they fee,! certain that the convention in -Asheville in July will nominate him for congress.

LOAN FUND INCREASING Sum Set Aside p the Legislature Mni903 for Aiding Schools His v Grown From $200,000 - ; to $425,000. Uaieigb, April 14. A statement from the State Department of Ed ucation on thettatusof the North Carolina educational loan fund, set aside by the Legislature for loans to school districts , through" the counties more especially for Im proving school houses, shows that the , fund has grown since "1503 from $200,000 to about 1123,000. The first loans by .tho State Board of Education, which moat approve all loans, were in August, 1903, and aggregated $29,601. Since that time loans have been made In 89 counties, aggressting . $523,- 280.50. - " These loans have been in aid of 1,109 districts having 159,175 chil dren of school age. These loans have resulted in tbe'bailding of 995 new school houses, the value of the new bouses erected being $1,256,783 These took the place of old houses that were valued at only $158,601. The loans are thor oughly safeguarded so that there is no possible chance of any losses, the loans being secured by notes of the county boards of education They are repaid in ten annual pay mentsof interest and partial pay ments of principal. The fund Is increasing constantly from the in terest derived from the loans and from the sale of swamp lands, all of which goes Into this fund.
