Lieutenant (Surertior William 10 N'mI mi announce tbat he is not to lm in tiie race for Govern or of North Carolina and yester day passing through the city au thorized this statement ly the News and Observer. He wan on his way to the eastern part of the state. No, in v 'at in not in t he ring," he said in au-wer to afpiery pro pouiided in Rooseveltiun ernae u'ar "Hut," he continued, "if I live four years longer an I haven hat at that time it will biirely be in the tin;:. "1 have decided nut to enter the raee for Governor this time for the reason that there seems to be an underrtan ling that Mr. Crn'g was virtually promised the nomination four years ago, and that by right of his party serv ice, he is entitled to the nomina tion by acclamation. I am fur ther moved to take this course because my entrance into the race jjwould have precipitated a hot fight and have disturbed the peace and the tranquility that now hover over our rau I old State. I much prefer to see an ah solutely united party in the cam paign than to be Governor, and besides, Mr. Craig will in ike an iileal executive. He has been my second ehoiee for the pat four years, Newland being my (irst. "I have had a great many of fers of support from all over the state und to those friends I want to i-xpress my highest apprecia tion and gratitude." Governor Newland was asked if heexpeeted to take an active part in the coming campaign and replied "My services in the future, as they have been in the past, will be at the command of my party, and it in its wisdom the Democracy thinks it is better to work Mr. Craig iu the lead, 1 sun only too glad to work as a wheel er. Whatever duty may be as signed me in theeo'ni"g flirht, I will be found doing to the best of my ability. Well, my train's coin ing, I must go I hope, the Lord may learn to love you. Good bye." The determination of Mr. New land not to put his hat in the ring will be generally applauded. His declaration that he prefers to see the party united and at peace, will be taken from him at its true value. Like the gentle man to whom he gives way, he knows how to make the sacrifice and like him 'also, he doesn't know how to be selfi.-h. Goyeruor Newland is known well ovtr the State and his can didacy, had it been announced, would have lound many distin guished Democrats supporting it. He has hundreds and thou sands of wurm personal aud po litical friends. He has been prominent in the politics of the State and in the Legislai ure was one ol t he lead ers when he served there. He was one of the most active men in the temperance cause and took to it iu its youth and period of least popularity. The single de feat that he suffered in his polit ical career was as the Democrat ic nominee lor Congress in fhe eight district, when Spencer Blackburn, at the hight of abril h unt career, barely nosed out a victory in the whisk. y district ol the State und won on the unpop uiaiity of the Watts and Ward laws. Newland put-up a tight and led his ticket He was a solicitor in the eor iesp. aiding judical district, de feating ol ickburn there and ma king a name as a prosecutor the democratic state convention nominated him for the office of Lieutenant Governor at, the Charlotte, meeting that Named TIIEOUORE BOOMVtLT (With Ap'riotfie to KU;ar A Poo.)

Personal and po litically, he isa lovable man He does'nt know what trickery or time-serving tiiea as. This action by Governor New laud practically clears the field ol any possibility or opposition to Craig and makes the western gentleman the nominee beyond every doubt. It brings b n c k memories ol 1900 when theState united upon Hon. Charles D. Ay cock and made him tip nominee by acclamation and elected him practcdly by an unanimous vote It makes pretty certain too, that in the coming fight- the Republicans will have a party to .lace that has not one obstacle 1 1 to overcome in a presidential ycjir and thut tl ere will be in No vember one ol the old-time Miry 1 thousand in Months. Hvery- thing point that way now and the last project ol a party fight appi ars to be gone. Mr. Craig will enter the real campaign with a juvty entirely committed to , him and that before ti e conven tion meets. At f I a Mice IW Sett It. j The bigg st KlitlcaI S'lrpri-u j of lat we.k was the result ofthe ! North Dakota Republican Presi dential pi i. nary whete Senator 11 Toilette let Colon! Roosevelt by a majority ol two to one, and Ta'tV vote was amazing small. It is understood that the con servative Republicans wiio would ordinarily have supported Tift voted lor Roosevelt in the hop of carrying the Stae for the col ou. 1 against LuKollette. The La Toilette force has gained much farce in the remarkable victory ad the Ito isevelt boom has lost much. The" writer was at the publishers banquet iu Philadel phia when Senator LaFolette ma le his disastrous speech The sjiei ch, of coarse, was a failure, and showed that thespeaker was on the verge of a breakdown. At the same time, we do not believe that one tenth as much would have been ma le of it but for an organized effort on the part of Roosevelt supporters to put La Toilette out of the running. Hav ing taken a rest, it is the Wiscon sin Senators hat that is now in the ring and he w ill conduct an aggressive campaign from now on. Even more advance in his views than Wood row Wilson, LaEollette is a man passionately devoted to the pu' he good, but l rsonally cold, and evidently too quick to mistrust the n:o- lives of those who do not agree with h'tn. There is yet quite a poMbility that Roosevelt may net the nomination, but just now his chances are gettiug no belter last. In the Democrat!? Party, the aggressive National wide fight on Woodrow Wilson goes on evidently with all of Wall Street's money back of it, while Win. R. Hearst lend his influence t the same end. Verily, polities does make strange bed-fellows. The .'oreiuorii charge ogainst Wilson is inconsistency in that the things hes-aysnow, after some practi cal experience in politics are no wholly the same tilings h said twenty years ago. From o u r standpoint, that is very much to his credit. Abraham Lincoln once said: "I ha ve changed mv mind: I know moiv; h u I did esterday. The masses ol the people h a v e progressed as much in their ideas as Woodrow W ilson has. What t he people want is a man w hose consistency is consistency oLhar acter rather than views. The real test, too, is not what Woodrow Wilson has said, bur what he has done, und as Governor of New Jersey, he has certainly accomp lished greater things and brou't about a finer program of con structive legislation for the pub lic good than perhaps any other Governor has ever accomplished under like circumstances. It is not our custom to take such in terest in the candidacy of n man, und we do so uoa" only hseause we believe Wall Si reet ami the big interests are spa ring neither time nor money in an effort to del- at the one man whose nomi nation and election would insure a wise, well-planned, and succ ess ful campaign against the great abuses that have crept into our national government a buses by means of w hich these big in terests have fattened and grown powerful. It deserves to be uoted by the way, that the big inter ests have a distinct grip on ma ny of our party organizations in the South, aud the people must be alert to prevent them from I ilulivt-rinir the Knnr.liein d loo-ii- I,.

T" )() MANY TO SWAT. A few cy pliers more or hss mean noth ng to us. Such figures are mat te nuities gone mad. Itsimly em phasizes the fact that a swat in time saves nine, if not more. As a matter of tact, comparatively few descendants from each suc cessive generation '.f fins eer live to reach maturity or oldoe A very few withstand the rig r of winter, and herein lies ourct e. If we can succesdu ly combt'.t these few now, and abolish their breeding places our lot for the summer will be easier. It has been well said that "A man's flies are they of his house hold." Yv. are fast learning that the number of Hies in a house or community is an excellent index to the sanitary conditions or cleanlinss of that Ii juse or com munity. Some day soon, we will consider the lly as much a disgrace in our horns as we now consider the bedbug. In fact, it. is already, but we don't know it yet. To a very large extent our freedom from flies for tln sum mer depends on the effeeth t-ness ol our first attacks duiing the next few months. Five or ten cent investments in wire cfotli fly swatters placed iu the hands of small boys an 1 girl j yield ex cellent returns. 1 heir enormous amount of exuberence and youth ful enthusiasm may lv put, to good purpose iu this manner, in stead of letting it run to waste under the name of mischief.
