CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, AUGUST 15, 1D03, cr. . nroiirsox, the hxs. Mr. Inis, of Thl CKy, 1 f tb OiJiiioa That Xr. Cyr 'nomp- kh. the Oerrr Debater of Onslow, Would Make a line Ran fVr Gor crnor He Sars So . la ? InUT- It la rirldert now that the Repub- team are fcavte- om difficulty to ret a man to run for Governor. It h h.n bnnt-n oa the inside for cornn day that Mr. J. Elwood .Cox would not havo t& nomination If K tendered him.: He aaid In a n.h at Guilford College, during- the Tearly Meeting", that he would rather eee King' Halt rebuilt than tt K Clnvornnr nf the State. His ambition does not run toward Ra leigh, la, talking with an Observer man yesterday, Mr. i. A. Sim, a Re publican leader in the county, aaid: "The people of North Carolina are erpectiny a.etrenuou campaign thi fall. : . ' ' "The Democratic racen for the ' EUte . having, been "elected, it re main! to be aeen who the Republi can will put out The people of the Bute want the Republican to put a strong ticket In the Held. The ' Repablieans are very much encouraged, as is evidenced by the fact that S3-many good men have been mentioned In connection wun the governorship, among these being J. J. Erltt. of Ashevllle; Z. V. Wal- TTlnrton: Vf. P. Bynum, of ArHiuhora- 1. Elwood Cox. of High . ; Point, and Cyrus Thompson, of Jack- " nnviiio. The race narrows down probably to two of the above, to-wit, ' Mr. Cox and Dr. Thompson. - "That Mr. Cox would be a very strong opponent of Mr. Kitchln, es . uM.iallv imnnir the business men of . 4hm Rtste. es without saying. But ' . it that the major portion of the electors of the State, as we be - lieve, want a hot campaign, which can best be made by able opponents In Joint debate. If this contention :' be true, then It appears to me. that of all the good men brought forward by tha Republicans, that Dr. Thomp son would come as nearly lining the bill as any man in the State. He ' lias been tried by the State of North Carolina and not found wanting In any particular. As Secretary of State ' 9ie has never had a superior. As a , debater, let every man who ever i Jieard him Uke the stand, friend and ' foe. and we ay without fear of suc cessful contradiction, that there are perhaps few men In the State his '.equal and none his superior. "There are many In Cabarrus and 'surrounding counties who will never , forget the debate between Hon. C. B. ' Aycock and Dr. Thompson In Con cord during the campaign of 18. 1 ' Xr. Thompsan on the Monday follow ing the debate, in reciting various ln ' cldenta In connection therewith, the ' advantage that each one se-med to nave over the other, an claimed by the friends of either, said In my pres - ence: The facts were these. Charley and I bad known each other from our schoolboy days, and each was frald of the other.' "Now, every man in North Caro- Una has probably heard Mr. Ayoork, and certain It. Is that the Democratic . party has no greater debater, and : equally certain it Is that no man wot prejudiced, who has ever heard Ir. Thompson In Joint debate, but what will say that he would like to bear Tr. Thompson debate with Hon. W. "W. Kitchln. or any other man in Jforth Carolina. "I. for one. do not believe In Joint debates on political questions, but all r tha same, I do believe In having some nne prejiared In the event the ne s ceaslty arises. Dr. Thompson would, I believe, poll every Republican vote Jn the State, every populist vote and ' thousands of independent Democratic votes. He would please the profes sional man, the business man and : the laboring man. Th affairs of the tat would be safe 'n his hands " A MASONIC PICNIC. ' Excursion From iiastonla to High Khoals Being Run T-fay on the c. s. w. The C. & N. W. Railway Is to-day running a special excursion train , ', from Oastonla to High KhoAls for 'the accommodation of those who will - attend the Masonic picnic. Half a dozen or more lodges along the line r" f the C. N. W. and at other points are having a union picnic at this ' point. Mr. L. T. Nichols, of the C. N. was Jn the city yesterday and aays that the passenger traffic on the . . road has become almost normal, but the freight business is yet low. Work on the Mountain Home Club, ... whlca will be built near Edgemont, is now In progress. The road from - . the station to the club houae site is Jiear completion and the lumber for the building has been sawed. The Clubhouse will be approximately 80 or 100 feet, exclusive of porches and ' front entrance piazzas. This will be ready for occupancy next summer by members of the club. The mountain country is growing rapidly. AX INPISCRKET BL'MtLAR. 3?cr (ame Back to Get His lint Which Had Dropped Fronl m. Head Wliilo lianuu kln; llouw.

Captain Wilson" office of. highway commissioner waa created by the State of Virginia, and under the provisions of the law he has supervision of all the road Improvement to which the State contribute aid. "Virginia ha outstepped North Carolina," said one of the party, "In that the State assists either In con vict labor or money to build the high ways of the Commonwealth. "Ho beneficial has been tha inaugu ration of this movement that 'In the two years in which It has been tried 30 per cent, of the counties have either availed themselves of its pro visions or have officially expressed a determination to do so. It has proven the greatest incentive" toward perma nent improvement and Is insuring a wise expenditure of all road funds, because all highways so constructed are done under expert supervision. "If this State ever expects to gain ground In road-.maklng outside of the wealthy counties It is necessary that the construction of them be made a State burden to a greater or less extent This movement is having considerable agitation and as the recent Democratic convention held here endorsed it, there is every reasonable probability that the coming North Carolina Legis lature will take some action toward following in the footsteps of all her sisters to the northward."

"While I did not think before the national convention that Bryan was the right man to'nead the ticket, since reading his letter of acceptance, I am convinced the Democratic con vention at Denver made no mlstakn in nominating him," declared Mr. J. H. Weddlngton to an Observer man yes terday afternoon, when asked for a political expression. It is recalled that Mr. Weddlngton was one of tlielthe Sunday school of the First Bap- leading Democrats of North Carolina who opposed Instruction for the Nf- braskan, thinking then that victory for the party could come in the elec tion through some other prominent Democrat. "His utterances on the platform," continued Mr. Weddlngton. "as well a upon things not In the platform, are so ciear ana distinct that I cannot see how any Democrat could refuse to support iim. In fact. It looks to me like a majority of the Republicans should support him. "He draws so clearly the line as to what the Republican, convention failed to do and how Mr. Taft apol ogizes for Its failure that It appears that Mr. Bryan has by long odds the best of the argument. I fearnn v,- fore I read his speech of acceptance that he would be too radical, hut hla positive assertions that he will stand iy me piatiorm and that will flvo him all he can do for the next four jears wunout taljing n things not In tne platform that I fall to sec now wn no is not an absolutely safe can .jk.ho. ii win jive m, pleasure to support nim. - Ills loiter of accent- miie wii simpiy a masterly paper."
