We thought that we had struck
the limit in the way of Republi
can claims and expectations for
the forthcomingelection in North
Carolina in the statement issued
from the headquarters of Elihu
Root, candidate for the Republi
can nomination for President,
but we had only started.
The Root publicity man held
that there were prospects of car
rying three Congressional Dis
tricts in North Carolina by the
Republicans. That was a whop
per of a hope, but along comes
an interview given out in Wash
ington by Republican State Chair
man and candidate for Governor
Frank A. Linney whose "think"
is that the Republicans can car
ry six of the ten Congressional
Districts of the State I ! Whoo
pee 1 ! I
laying that "The prospects of
being successful in the coming' e
lection are good," the Republi
can State Chairman, &c, contin
ued: "I think we can carry six
out of the ten Congressional Dis
tricts, the tenth, ninth, eighth,
seventh, fifth, and third, with a
possible chance of one other."
Cun the responsibility of being
Republican State Chairman and
Candidate for Governor have
dazed the man? As asked in a
more or less noted case, "Who's
looney now?"
This Linney "think" is a cor
ker. It took a trip to Washing
ton to pull any such stuff. North
Carolina is entirely too small to
hold the "think" of State Chair-
man, &c. He must -be allowed
to expand. But as for the vote
in North Cui-olia getting any
where in the vicinity of the Lin
ney "think," why Mr. Linney has
a number of more "thinks" com
ing to him.
It is such stuff as handed out
in Washington by Mr. Linney
which go to make the Republi
can party of North Carolina more
than ridiculous, but Republicans
learn little sense. Linne.v knows
that his party hasn't got the
ghost of a show in "six or possi
bly seven districts," and that it
is going to be put to it to carry
the tenth, which now has a lie-
publican Representative in w ash
ington, for the outlook is that
it will this year return to the
Democratic column, giving North
Carolina a solid Democratic del
egation in Congress. The News

Mrs. Ada Michael.
A very sad funeral service was
held at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran
church on Inst Wednesday", May
10. when Mrs. Ada Michael, wife
of Mr. Arthur Michael, and dau
ghter of Mr. Alfred Moretz, was
buried. Sad, because she was so
suddenly taken away by the cold
h ind of death from her little son,
her loving husband and many
relatives and friends Shewascut
down in the very prime of life, be.
ing only about 30 years of age.
About six years ago she was
married to Mr. Arthur Michael,
to which union was born one lit
tle son, now about three years
old, not old enough to realize his
great loss. A few years ago she
and her husband moved to Ta-
coma, Washington, where they
resided until her death. Her bus
band and little son came all that
long distance alone to this place,
to have her buried, a very long,
sad and lonely trip.
She was baptised in infancy,
was instructed and confirmed in
the doctrines of the Evangelic
Lutheran church, in which faith
she lived a consistent life until
the end came. She rests in the
sure hope of the resurrection to
eternal life. Let us not sorrow as'
those who have no hope.
I commend her husband and
child, and all her relatives to Him
who doeth all things well.
The funeral service wnsconduc
t id on the day of her burial by
the undersigned.
