A great effort Is being made to arouse the negro and make him rebel against his' treatment at the hands of Republican leaders who would elim inate him. Republicans as well as Democrats would disfranchise him. but such politicians "as Senator For aker would not see. It done, In Vlr ginla. North and South, Carolina, Georgia and other Southern States local leaders are ignoring the color' ed voter. If the Republicans were in p6wer In North Carolina, with liberal -construction on the election orovlsions of the constitutional amendment, adopted ten years ago, about 80,000 negroes could vote. With the Democrats in control 80)00 may register, if fair-minded registrars hold the books. But the Republicans car' UXXEY,!

Linner. of Taylors vine, passed through Statesvllle yesterday en route to Oklahoma, where he will visit a son living In that State, wnue at the station between trains bs de livered his usual speech sgalnst the park bill. He endeavored to make a few new nolnts yesterday, but failed la the effort. Before be finished his talk he again spoke In a manner which Indicated that he is looking al ter No. 1 In his campaign against the bill. It has been believed Dy manjr for some time that Llnney was ooDosing the bill In tne hope or win ning the favor of the mountain peo ple by making them think he was try lng to save their land from being confiscated by the government, and thus receive the support of the moun talneers In another race for the nom ination for Congress 4y the Republl cans.' His talk yesterday was evidence that there is something in tnis Denei. Mr. Unney stated that If the Re publicans put up "a man for Congress who was in favor of the park bill he would support Congressman Hackett for re-election and would take the stump for him. He praised Hackett for taking the stand he had, but he took to himself the credit for Mr. Hacketfs position, stating thst he was instrumental in Hacketfs and KlutU's seeing the light. Wr. J.- A.

A revolt Is threatened, rnere are ru mors of outbreaks In North Carolina. There was a successful rebellion in Tennessee. Negroes in Ohio ' are lighting Mr. Taft and the President The war clouds are spreading. A bolt Is expected in North Carolina Recently a number of the old-time Tar Heel negro politicians came to Washington to get an Idea of the lay of the land. Some of these visitors advise a separate convention. Mr. Taft Is not navlng an easy time The .united orces . of union labor and the negroes throughout the country keep growling -at him. The skies do not seem clear to him. The negro Is not a political factor in North Carolina, but In such States as Ohio he holds the balance of pow er. The 0,0 0,0 colored votes In the Buckeye State can defeat or elect a man to a State office. As a rule the negro vote Is cast undivided. In the South it went to the Republicans ex cept in municipal elections, when It generally fell to the side which had the most money. Negro leaders In Ohio declare that they will urge their people to vote the Democratic ticket if Taft Is nominated by the Repub licans. No one in the South will give any significance to such a threat. But, In the North, the situation Is differ ent. There are Democrats . there who helleve that the negro will quit the Republicans if Taft is nominated. ' EFFECT OF GOOD PTORY. North Carolinians know the effect of a good story told at the proper time for they were taught by Senator Vance and other good stump speak ers. Former Oovernor Charles B. Ay cock has a way of clinching an ar gument with an anecdote or a story. Saturday 1 sat and listened to" the bfautlful, Impassioned speech of Hob- son and the short, convincing reply of Burton, of Ohio. The Southerner Of Marlon report that their hogs are dying like flies from the effects of the deadly disease. A few days ago an agent came, alt the way from St. Louis to this section to sell Mr. Hart ness a cure for cholera. The disease had already done Its work for Mr. Hartne?s and he says he Is through raising hogs, but other hog-breeders nrooiired th cure. It Is understood. The gentleman who sells the Medicine stated that he saw an account of the death of Mr. Hartness' hogs In a newspaper. The farmers of Chambersburg township are much puzzled and con cerned about the poisoning of cattle by the eating of grass growing on a certain plot of swampy ground. The plot covers an area of about 40 square feet on a farm near Oak Forest now occupied by Mr. Will Galther, and the grass growing on this peculiar plot has proved fatal to four fine head of! cattle. A sample of the grass was brought to statesvllle a day or so ago b- Mr. John Webb and turn ed over to Dr. J. A. Bass, veterinari an, wno examined ana anaiyzea it. He does not think the grass brought htm is poisonous but Is of the opinion that there are some poisonous herbs growing among the grass. Mr. Webb felt sure that the grass Itself was poisonous or the ground on which It grows contains poison. The case will be further investigated. THREW HIMSELF FROM TRIV.
