The famous Gattia-Kilgo case has been continued by consent to the next term of Wake superior court, sitting for the trial of civil causes. It will be recalled that this ia the caae wherein Rev. Thoe. J. Gattis, of Durham, is auing Dr. J. C. Kil go, president of Trinity College and Mr. B. N. Duke, of Durham, and Mr, Odell, of Concord. The caae haa been twice tried and new triala afterwards granted by the supreme court. * - * The newapapers of the South are gradually awakening to the impo sition that haa been practiced up on them for eo mauy weary years by the politicians and profeaaioi al office-seekers. The burden which they have borne because of it, here in North Carolina, if footed up at the end of a campaign at regular advertiaing rates, would appear a I moat in credible. The politicians do not presume to aak like "favors" of people en gaged in any other businaaa, but have come to the point where they take it for granted that a newspa per must print column after column of purely advertiaing matter, prop er. free—and many of them no longer ask it aa a "favor," and do not even say "thank" you in return. They do not even stop there— some of them. For they are not onlly unappreciative, but in many cases ungrateful. Their ingratitude, and worse, is not infrequently manifested by an abuse of newspapers. Especially has this disposition been manifeted in our General As sembly, when a little croas roads politician who haa secured an elec tion to the Legialature through the aid of his county newspaper, ariaes in the Houae and brays his "indig nation" to the Speaker and the lob bies becauae some newspaper ha* told the truth about him. It is observed, however, that the lii;ht is breaking—in the east, of course—for the New York and oth er newapapere and magazinea. are this year expecting pay of the po itical managers for this character of advertising.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER ri, 1904. I (ion of wide circulation and the ad vertising in its columns is among the moat expensive in the country. No doubt the appearance of this sdveitisement is a signal for the beginning of extensive paid publi city on the part of the Republican national committee. Pour or eight years ago such purchases of space for political advertisements was' unheard of. Since that time the New York papers 1-ave printed more and more political advertiaing during their municipal and State campaigns The speeches of a Democratic candidate, for instance, would be inserted as an advertise ment in a Republican paper. This has become a feature of the cam paigns, and iuaamuch as advertis ing haa come to be ti ad for nearly every purpose the natural reault haa been the advertising of a na tional Presidential candidate. In our opinion the Republican nation al committee haa shown exce lent judgement. The Democratic com mittee should not fail to enter on a similar campaign." Whereupon the Atlanta journal adds this truthful criticism: "In the South our campaign commit tees go to work and raise a cam paign fund. They spend this fund on stump speakers, and In writing letters mainly. For the aame am oui't of money they can reach dou ble the number of votera through the newapapers. But your South ern politician argues that the news papers will eiploit the party nom inees any how; that it ia useleaa to spend money on thepi. They not only refuse to pay the newapapers snything for this service, but very often they solicit campaign contri butions from them as well. In time this will be all changed in the South, aa it is now changing in the East." 'The Journal is correct and the change is coming on more speedily than the language of that paper suggests. v The politicians will soon find it necessary, in the South aa in the East, to exploit their own plans, and to pay for the newspsper sd vertisiug thst is ihdispensible. The newspapers that give away their advertising spsce cannot live, much less grow to the proportions demsnded nowadays to keep up with the procession. For, ss the Asheville News-Gszette says, "the indefinite undemtanding of 'sup port' upon which the average col lored party organ depends is often not very filling. Political publicity through newspapers is s commodi' ty -very much like soap publicity or dry goods publicity."

ROOSEVELT IS ELECT ED IN A LANDSLIDE Republicans Score Signal Victory, Carrying Doubtful States. Parker's Plurality in N. Y. City Smaller Than Was Expected, But Republibans Carry State. MARYLAND AND WEST VIRGINIA GO REPUBLICAN. ■ H Thr Associated Press reports to the big dailies the following on the election : The Republican national ticket has been elected by a vote in the electoral college that will exceed that of 292 given Mr. McXinley v in 1900. The malt of balloting was astounding, even to the most sanguine of the Republican mana gers' Confident as they were of success, they were not prepared for the astonishing figures which fol lowed the cloaing of the polls,bring ing into the Republican column not only all of those States ther had claimed as safe for their candidates but with the possible exception of Maryland, every State classed as doubtful. Democratic successes are confined to the solid South, in which Ken tucky is included, and Mr. Parker lias not carried a single State which did uot give its vote to Mr. Bryan four years ago. Official returns in dicate that he lost some of those which the Nebraska candidate held for his party. BOW THB VOTBS STAND Official figures from the North west cities may slightly change the totals, but based on the returns available at a late hour to-night,the electoral vote stands as follows : FOR ROOSKVKI.T Rati mated Klecoral Htate Plurality.

WILL NOT RUN AGAIN As a dramatic climax to the sen sational majority given him, came President Roosevelt's formal an nouncement that he would not be | a re-election, lending the only exciting aspect to an elec tion* night, otherwise so one-sided that it was impossible for even the victors to attain that degree ot en thusiasm that usually marks the oc cation. Late in the night time an an nouncement from MeMn G.Plarer, manager of the campaign for Thom as E. Watson, the candidate of the People's party, that as a result of the overwhelming Democratic de feat, steps would be taken to form a new party. To this end, accord ing to the announcement given out, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Watson and Wil liam Randolph Hearst will hold a conference in New York in about a week's time- THH RRSULT KNOWN RAKLV The period of suspense that fol lowed the closing of the polls was not prolonged. In no election in recent years has the result been de finitely know so soon. Hardly had the sun gone down when results iq New York began to appear. By 7 o'cloc* it was evident that the great Rmpire State had given the republican candidates a majority beyond the predictions of the party managers. So convincing was the story of the bulletins, that at 7130 August Belmont at Democratic headquarters conceded Roosevelt's election bv an overwhelming ma jority, and half an hour later the Democratic leaders, who had man aged the campaign, freely admitted that the Republicans had carried every doubtful State. There was no disposition to hope against hope. As State after State sent in its Re publican majority, and the wired told the tale of the ballots bring ing even from those Common wealth's upon which they had based their figures of Democratic success, reports of unprecedented Republican majorities, they frank ly conceded their defeat and offered no explanation. Soon after Mr. Belmont's admission, Judge Parker aktiowledged the situation by tele graphing President Roosevelt his congratulations. The perfect weather conditions which prevailed over practically the etire country brought a vote which experienced politicians predict will be a record breaker, and in the in crease of ballots, the Republicans gained more than their share. NORTH CAROLINA IS AS EVER TRUE The Flfurcs Indicate a Majority For the Entire State Ticket From 50,000 To 60,000. The returns from the various counties in North Carolina clearly indicate that the State is Democrat ic by a majority of about 50,00 a Democrats elect ten members of Congress. The returns are com plete as to this fact from eight dis tricts, and the news from the Eighth and Tenth indicate that both are Democratic by small majorities. The Democrats will not lose a member in either brftncll of the General Assembly, but will hold the counties givfag majorities in 1901, perhaps gaining, t In the House there will be at least 101 Democratic members out of 120, and the Senate 44 members out of 50.
