How much harm could Mr. liryan. elected upon a platform studiously Silent concerning his favorite tlieori.-s of government, work if he brcaime President? This is a u.ti"Stion -which (real numbers of pcpl'-. especially 1" the East, arc now asking themselves. The New York t'.lobe submit the fol lowing as an answer: "With reict to matters ot formal legislation the Senate ciaild Interpose a tun nalnot destructive action Hut there Is no certainty that the tVnale would so restrain. Jt Is true that the next Xetmte will contain a Republican majority, but we must remember that this majority will not be altogether homogeneous. There Is a group of Republican .Senators In .vmi.Hlhv w til extreme radicalism extreme raciu-aiioi!

Ho, even as te formal legislation, there would l great danger should Hiyan l elected. - "Mut tho greatest power of a President concerns malum over which the legisla tive branch of the government can exer cise no effective restraint. Through his Secretary of the Treasury, removable at Ms pleasure, a President possesses vajst discretionary authority. The Kld stand ard is now supposed to be a buttressed finality, but with a Secretary of th. Treasury touched with financial heresy It could be placed in Jeopardy. Through his Attorney General, also removable t .I.,.- Priilnt Is the master of tl." Jpartment of Justice.

No ;.Vmhan four members of the Supreme Court will prohably reUre during the next four "yeara Bryan has said the Supreme Court should be re-nrganlxed in 'rrT mat there may be a revolution in Its decisions." The Globe further thinks that Mr. Bryan's election "would-be a procla mation that , a MiHt bd been unloosed whose destructive, workings no man could pp-dlct" and "would mean a fury, of distrust that would threaten the niost stable." Some time ao indentions wore not lacking oT a prefer, nee on tne part of "predatory wealth" for Mr. Rryan a a;ilust a Koosevelt Re publican.

" And this Is something to think about. v THF STKOXfJKST FIAF.lt A' ITT. From a Herlln dispatch wo learn that a company with a preliminary capital of 1125.000 Is befng formed to establish lines of passenger air ships between the German metropolis. i j ,on(lon Paps.- Vienna, fit. Peters- hurg, Copenhagen and Stockholm. I The Kritpp steel works pi?rrpt and a . number of leading bankers are In toresied In the project, which owes Its Initiation mainly to tho remark able feats of Count Zeppelin's latest airship. Scientists, financiers and public men unite In hailing the Zep pelin achievements as era-making, and It Is generally agreed that the Importance of their relation to future warfare cannot easily be over estimated. The day of practical aviation, or bird-fashion flying, Is be lieved 'to "nav already dawned. French aviators frankly admit what Count Henri de la Vaulx calls "a humiliating surprise." They regard the Zeppelin airship all a tremendous advance upon anything heretofore known nnd as an assurance tltnt the gHent problem. (h nearlng Its final solu tion. All that American aviators, and The Observer ns an affiliate, can hope Is t'nat the Wright brothers will rival Zeppelin wllh the airship which they are building f,ir delivery to the War licpartmeiit next month.

There appears to be enmity between Knot Head and Edit tor Swantu The town of Marshall has had a dispensary and Swann baa been dispenser, and he says Knot Head is mad at him because he (Knot Head) has tried to drink the dispen sary dry and couldn't do It. But the dispensary has been put out of busi ness by process of law and the Re publicans of the county have refused tc re-nomlnate Knot Head for com missioner, wherefore Swann aays they are both now statesmen out of a Job." But this Is not the poki it seems that there is a Republican as well as a Democratic paper in Madi son, and The. Record in its last issue- makes this agreeable reference '10 its Republican contemporary and its editor: "Che nam of J. Coleman- Rame pr-Bin an rauur of The News, but It seems hat !r. J. H.

A MODEST OFFERING. The Charleston News and Courier has opened a subscription list, In manner and form as follows, to-wlt: "It costs a good deal to run a presiden tial campaign, and Mr. Bryan will have to depend largely upon the free will of ferings ot an enthusiastic people to carry his cause and their cause to victory The News nnd Courier will receive and ac knowledge and tiansmit to the manager, of the Hryan campaign fund any contri butions that may be sent to It for this purpose. Money talks In polities. How much do von want liryan to lie elected? "One dollar from each of the Demo cratic voters In S.iith Carolina would make something like tllo.'HU, and that i-,,oM heln to save nt least one oi tne doubtful Stales." tv, i ,q. rwr does not happen to be a Democratic voter In South Caro lina, but it would like to contribute nmeth nir to this fund, less for its Intrinsic value than as an evidence of rood faith. Silver and gold have we none, but if The News and Courier will accept a largeT.fat hen, wnfeh ft, would no doubt be able to convert into cash on tho Charleston market, or even a Hong Kong gander, The Observer will be happy to forward either, collect, and would feel honored In having the contribution accepted, desire to do something. It is stated In The Reldsvllle Review that Mr. W. W. Kltchln, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor, will ofen,his campaign nnd make his key note speech at Wentworth ' August 4 tli. In view of the strenuous cam paigning which he underwent In an ticipation of the convention, covering about ten months, "ne can hardly con templato with much pleasure four months' additional work, on the stump. It has been stated that Mr Klrehln lias been resting nt Mecklen burg Springs, Va.. since a few days after the convention. It was seen In yesterday's dls patchCh that when the friends nnd neighbors of Colonel and Mrs. Bryan called on them Friday to offer their congratulations on Mr. I'.rv tin's nomi nation they were "visibly affected." Their lack of fortitude under the clr- I cumstances Is surprising. One would I have Buppos'id that by this time they ! ii n il grown accustomed to nomlna ! ",s nnd the felicitations which follow. The Crenville Rnfleotor pays "the bet thing that Charlotte Is getting "tit of It Is the advertising. There Is no doubt," It adds, "of Its being the most widely known town In the State." And one of the best known In tho country. A striking evidence of this Is found In the fact that whereas, a few years ago. In the metropolitan papers and the papers of other States It was "Charlotte. N. C ," It Is now simply Charlotte.' As Indicated by the latent govern or nt report, the prospects are for substantially Increased yields over last year In all the principal crops. Including corn,' cotton, spring wheat, winter wheat, and oats. From a business standpoint 'this would be an awkward year for crop failure, anil It is gratifying to note that nothing of the kind seems at all likely.

Ta.tha JSdltpr rtThejEtbservcTX - 4 notice you have recently published quite a long write-up of the Croatans (a they are now called) of Robeson county by Col, F. A. Olds. X have nothing to say about the most of It, but there Is One portion which ia false and misleading 'and "which does a great injustice to some wno were then among the best citi aena of Robeson county, but who are now numbered among those who' have passed, from this sphere.- The por tion to which I allude ia that which claims to five the cause of Henry Merry Lo wrte a lawlessness. Allen Lowrle, II. B.'s father, was never called on to work on the forts. He was too old, as ihey were taken to worjc on the forts under the same rules, as to age, which tbe whites were conscripted into the army. Be sides this Henry Berry never killed man who was present when his father and his brother, Bill were muea. iseany every man who was killed by Henry Berry and his rang ot ouuaws was in tne army when old man Alien and JJiu were killed by the home guard. The cause of their be ing killed by the home guard was as loiiows: There had been several right daring burglaries committed in the.-Aelghbor borhood that 'is, within a few miles of where Allen Lowrie lived, and the courts were not in a position to deal with the guilty parties because most of the able-bodied men of the county were in the Confederate army, i Moth lng waa done about these burglaries uniu one night the residence of Mrs K. A. Mc.Viir (afterwards Mrs. E. A McRca j was attacked.- (Fortunately, ehe had visitors who were armed and she waa very brave herself, and the robbers met with such a .warm recep lion thac, after a number of shots had been fired on both sides, the rob bers left without gaining an entrance to the house. This was too much for her Scotch neighbors; though they were old men, chey, true to their name of home guard, got together and followed the robbers, and cir cumstances took them to Allen Low rle's house where they found a lot of the things which were taken from some of the dwellings which had been burglarised. On finding 'these stolen articles in their possession, Allen and Bill, the father and ' eon. were taken In custody, tried by court- martial and sentenced to be shot to death, and the sentence was executed. Many of the descendants of the men who composed this home guard now live in Maxton, Smith's and other adjoining townships of Robeson county. These old men could never have resorted to such measures but for what they deem pure necessity and they all lived and died highly re spected citizens and none of them was killed by Henry Berry and his gang. Now as to the cause of the trouble with Henry Kerry: He and others were hiding out tu keep from work lng on the forts. (Colonel Olds .says he was a stripling of a boy when his father was, killed. . On the contrary, he was a grown man). Mr. James Harnes, goad. xjulet clU?en, lived near Allen Lowrie's and some one kept killing his hogs. (In those days hogs and cattle ran at large on the range and each owner had a private earmark for Ills stock). Mr. liarnes went In search of his meat and found u lot of It in Allen Lowrie's smoke house. He was able to Identify it. because the heads were there and had his mark on the ears. He told the family to tell the boys thac they must stop .killing .his hogs or he would have to prosecute them. A few daya after fhi he went to the postofflce ac Capt. Willis P. Moore's residence and as h"e was returning home.iate In the after noon he was shor down by some one In ambush. When he fell Henry came up to him and was going to shoot him again, but he 'cold him it was no use, ns he was already shot to death. He did die from the wounds, but not before he had told to friends who came to him who it was who shot him down. This made Henry Herry a' murderer und an outlaw. After this he gathered about him his brothers; Tom and Steve: his brothers-in-law. Andrew and His Strong; Henderson Oxendlne, Oeorge Annlewhlte (a negro), Zack MqLauch- lln a white man), and some others Then they began to murder and rot) nt wiltnnd continued to do so until all of them were killed, except Oeorge Applewhite, tho negro. After several of the gang' were killed he left the county ana was mpprawo i until several vears afterwards ne was found lhina- near Goldsboro. He was then arrested, but it was round tnat an amneviv act. witirn ou nri hv the Legislature of North Caro .. .. fc-tl. .nl li n to Una to wipe out war crimes also par doned him. This act pardoned every- Lowrle. as he was then thought to be the only one of the outlaws who was living. Robbery was the cause of the death nf Allen T.owrU and Bill Lowrle. and robberv was the start of the Henry Berrv outlaws, and not because they wanted to go into the t onrenerate army. A SCOTCHMAN. Capt. John Wllkea. Gaffny, S. C. Ledger. Amid the pleasures of life we stop to drop a flower upon the bier of Capt John Wllkea. who went to his final' sleep last Monday at Charlotte. One of the first men we ever knew was Captain Wilkes, and he wae one of the finest Christian gentlemen God ever put on earth. Our first recollec tion of him is about i72. when he conducted a little unpretentious. foundry and machine shop on the site of the present freight depot qf the Seaboard Air Line at Charlotte, and which Anally developed into the splendid plant now known as the Mecklenburg Iron Worka. At that time the South was In the throea of poverty and the boya of Charlotte, as a rule, had little or no pocket change except what they might earn. We are not aahamed of the fact that we picked up and sold scrap iron to Cant. John Wllkea in those days. It may seem absurd Ltn waysjtbjaLlal absolutely true that Oftentlmesy Cap tain Wllkea would not have money enough on hand to pay us for ourl scrsD iron ana ne wouia give us nis due bill until he could get the money. His kindly nature, his gentle bearing, his business integrity, meae ita- im press upon us, and we thank God that Captain WUkea came into our life in at least a amall.way..

Keith Sets' Forth the Ad vantages to lie Derived From Suel) Sections Having the law Moro Prosperous Tlian Those Without It. To the Kdltor ol The Observer: I &ni in receipt of a letter from Mr, W. V. Aahe, State forester; also map issued by the North Carolina State board of agriculture at Raleigh, compiled from data secured by Mr Tait iiutler, State veterinarian, show ing the various counties and sections In North Carolina where the ho fence or stock law has been adopted. IS tt not strange to the . man of thought to see that those counties and sections of the State where the stock law has been adopted, to know that the farms -In these special sec tions have increased ' in valuation and the farm products also in creased far In advance of those sec tions that permit the stock to run at large. If there was no other reason why the State should adopt the stock or np-fenco law, this one alone would be sufficient; but, as Mr. 'Ashe truly says, In the. eastern belt the long leaf pine soon reproduces itself with its original growth if the stock is not allowed to run at lsrge; and It ia the only pine In North Carolina that will reproduce itself, If It is protected from the plney woods rooter, which s not only a destroyer of the forest but a transmitter of cholera and other diseases that make it so un certain as to how many hogs you will be able to fatten. They run at large, gathering all the ticks, red bugs, etc., and tho farmer when giving them in for taxes can rarely depend upon more than half of them when e is ready to fatten; besides they deteriorate so rapidly that It Is folly to try to nave any improvea biock, and in these. lueaJJlif s the farmer .has. to buy most of his meat. It costs about twice as much to fatten one of these hogs as those raised. In the lot or pasture. Tha cattle that are raised, in the no-fence district are upon an average worth many' times as much as those where they are per mitted to run at large, gathering the ticks ending in the Texas fever; and It Is Impossible to-have any better stock, as the writer has often tried improve his stock, buying , im proved ones from the no-fence sec tion, but in every Instance they have contracted the Texas fever from the cattle that were permitted to run at arge. Less than the snme fencing that It takes to fence the farm in the eastern belt Will fence for every man the pasture needed, either sep rately or Jointly with his neighbor, nd thus eliminate a disease from our stock as well .as to restore our forest and seasons and help to en rich the State and save to the poor man who has no stock the expense of keeping up, fences, either his , own or those whom he rents from Is It possible that North Carolina n all her strides will any longer sub mit to this method that belongs only to a new. unsettled country? The remedy Is In selecting for the Legis lature men who have more interest In the good of the State than in play ing to the gallery and practicing pea nut politics. The editors of the various prnrertr of - North eaeollna cannot do their State a greater benefit than to take this matter up and thoroughly educate the people upon its Importance. While I do not care to appear In print, yet' I will be glad for any paper to publish this nt'wlll. Over-.half of the State has already adopted the stock law. B. F. KEITH. Wilmington, July, 108. . now Long, O, Lord! Richmond Newa Leader. It Is a little alekenlng to old-time Democrats to read from Denver the complacent assurance that the injunc tion plank for the national Democratic platform has been aubmitted to the Federation of Labor and O. K.'d by the representatire of that organisa tion. How far are we going in that kind of thing? Twelve years ago and eight year ago, as we recollect, our platform was submitted to the Populists for their approval. How many different kinds of parties, so cieties and bodies are going to stand over Democratic 'Conventions with whips and lead pencils, directing and cecklng up and 'seeing that the party fs committed to their special interests or fads? Are the woman surtragtsts, the Socialists, the prohibitionists and all the others editing their sections of the platform? A Distinction Which Was Xot Made. Chattanooga Times. It will be observed that Mr. Bryan could not resist the temptation to say, in the very skimped resolutions he authorised as an alleged tribute to the late Orover Cleveland, that he had been "three times the nominee of his y. , He ccqild-Bat get his rnn. sent to say further however, that he had been twice elected. He may think' the "people are footed by this reference, but there will be very few who will not recognise in it an at tempt ' to drag Mr. Cleveland from his "honorable rave". to justify his own third nomination. ., ,1..
