OUR RALEIQH LETTER.
Kaleigh. N. C., Jany. 2"), 1904.
The gentlemen w ho nsjiire to high
ollice, which they hope to atlain
Ihrough Momiiiations therefor at the
forthcoming Democratic state Lon
vent ion, haven't much time left to
bestir themselves. 11ns being i
"presidential year," and it havin;
been agreed that only one state con
vention shall be held which shall
select delegates to the Dein. Nation
al convention and nominate candi
dates for the state ollici'S, both it
becomes necessary to hold an carlv
one, not later than the lirst Reek in
June, and the chances art that the
staU) committee w ill soon call it to
be held during the month of May.
The contest for the gubernatorial
Domination seems to have narrowed
down to three possibilities, viz., Maj
Charles M. Stedinan, Lieut, (iov
Wilfred D. Turner and Hon. llobt
B. (ileiin, Hon. Thei. F. Davidson
is still a candidate, it is understood,
hut his friends do not expect to see
him nominated, unless some unfoi
seen exigency should bring about
that result.
It is generally thought that Maj.
Stedinan will lead on the lirst bal
lot, if his present ratio of strength
is maintained, and his friends are
very hopeful and sanguine of his
nomination.
Mr. ("Menu's friends dispute the
claims of the Stedman men, and as
sert that their niau is the more pop
ular one and will lead on the lirst
ballot, and they of course predict
his nomination L'apt. Clean will
be here thW week to address the "H.
U. H. Class" of the Baptist Taberna
cle, in the Sunday school room of
that church.
Lieut. (!ov. Turner's supporters
are not making any e.xtrawigant
laiin.s. but they sav their candidate
is gaining in strength every day, and
that when the balloting 'begins in
the convention it will be shown that
he has a large and loval following.
n astute politician said to me to
lav: ".Stedman and Cilenn are near
neighbors, residing in adjoining
eountioB, and the rivalry between
them i.s intense in that particular
ction. Stedman is stronger than
(ileiin in the cast and will probably
show up a larger following than
(ileiin in the convention, and he may
be nominated. But if he is not,
then (iov. Turner, m my opinion will
stand an excellent chance of secur-
the plum. Of course Maj. Darid
s chances would improve, also,
if neither Stedman or (ilenn can be
nominated, but I think Turner would
be the man."
However, Mai. Stedinan and his
friends are not anticipating any such
result as that. Indeed, one of them
Mid to me a few davs ago, "if the
convention should be held tomoirow
Stedinan would be nominated on the
lirst ballot."
The convention will probably be
held in (iiccnshoro t'the home of
Maj. Stedman) again this year.
Kaleigh apparently cares little about
it and is in no better condition than
Mi to take care of the conven
tion or the delegates.
A state chairman to manage the
leinocratic campaign will soon be
selected, also. . Senator Simmons
who has held that position for a
number of years and so successfully
conducted the last several campaigns,
some time ago vindicated a desire to
be relieved, but there aie many who
think it would be best for the party
f he can be induced to retain the
position. Several other gentlemen
ire in training for the place, how
ever, as it is considered a pretty sure
stepping stone to high and lucrative
menu Honors, as in me ciw in oen-
ator Simmons.
The distillers and Tumor dealers,
the dispensary people and the pro
hibitionists, and the dram drinker
in "prohibited'' territory land those
include about all classes I are anx
iously awaiting the decision of the
Supreme Court in construing the
act passed bv the last Legislature
prohibiting the shipments of liipmr
into four certain counties which its
sale had been prohibited. The lan
guage of one section of the new law
is so general in its terms that Judge
Brown decided here last week that
the act applies to all the prohibition
counties, although 'ne legislators
who drew the bill now say they never
intended" it to apply to any save
the four counties named Cleveland,
(lastoii, Cabarrus and Mitchell.
Judge Cooke at. Durham (now a
straightout prohibition) two weeks
ago decided the same cjuestion in a
case before him but placed just the
opposite construction on the act
from Judge Brown. So these two
legal doctors of the same class diller
very materially, and it is up to the
Supreme court to say which is ci-r
rect. The appeal will lie advanced
and the court will construe tne law
soon after it meets in February.
As the Supreme com t is especially
strong on the "intent" nowadays, it
looks us though Judge Uooke woiiiu
be sustained.
The Honor ouestion promises to
figure prominently in politics in
North Carolina tins year, especially
in county and local politics. Just
how hugely it will figure in the state
campaign remains to bit seeu.
As usual, there are iutemiierate
prohibitionists w ho are losing their
heads over tho reeeut successes of
the temperance forces aud are throw
imr discretion to the winds while they
"demand" more radical and stringent
anti-lii)iior laws. Some of them arc
already seriously "demanding' that
the legislature be chosen this year

meanor, per so, and pass laws that
will provide for putting the drink

jail should be indicted ni fined

laws" of various kinds urn also "He

results. Of course the Republicans
and "independents" in every county
are now standing ready to cater to
anv opposition to the democratic or
ganization that presents itself.
If the intemperato radicals of the
temperance or anti-saloou element
are given free reili this year no one
need be astonished if they succeed
in causing the election of an anti-
proliibitiou, anti-dispensary, "take-a

SAM JONES' LETTER.
AllaulA .tounml.
Three weeks of the new year has
gone. We slid out of the old year
into the new so quietly that we hard,
ly realize that the old" year is gone,
and that the new year is upon us.
Kenny, tune is measured not so much
by davs, and weeks, nnd years, as by
work and worry. The working man,
who loves to work, never has days
e"ough in the week or hours enough
in the day. To the worryinr man
all days and weeks are too long, nnd
yet for convenience and coinpin- ed to you and heard vim tell the his
son's sake we say five years, ten years, I tory of your hardships, how the
fifty years, so and so, or that next
year or tho year after such and such
will be, and we measure time and
watch the days on calendars and in
almanacs and count up and reckon.
liut life is at a unit from the cradle
to the grave. God has said that a
day is as a thousand years to him,
and thousand years as a day. But
we look upon tho close of the old
year as a time to settle bills and pay
taxes, and beg off from creditors, and
soiter round up things ready to pass
into the new year, and we come over
into the new year bringing the busi-
ness habits of the old, tho personal
habits, maybe of a life time, and eur
creditors bring over our indebtedness
upon their books. I his new year has
ushered in upon lis Borne momentous
iitestionr. The Russian, Japan
racket and threatened war, which
would involve, no doubt, England
and maybe, Germany and France,
and who knows but what the United
States would be Jrawn into it. The
Armageddon war has not yet come
to pass. If they got into '.his tight,
it looks like we miht have it before
it is over, but I am inclined to the
opinion that Russia is only trying to
scare te Japs out of somc'thing they
have, for Russia must know that
r.ngland will snip with the Japs, And
England's navy commands a position
to nrike Russia fear her indeed. The
battles of the future will be fought
out by natives. No great nation will
invade any other nation with armies
of infantry and cavalry. The Queen
of the Sea will be the King of the
F.arth m the years to come. But
wars and rumors of wars frighten
the bulls and help the bears. Just
think of it, my cotton on band, and
cotton down a cent. Just think of
it! Because of this Russian-Japan
incus. I am forty dollars out right
now because of that trouble. My
neighbor, Bob McGinnis, has seven
hundred bales, and is out $3,500. I
reckon Bob wishes Russia and Japan
had never been born, but I am still
holding my cotton. 1 will get that
15 cenw; watch me, gentlemen.
And then the Panama question.
Now watch the Democrats play the
fool again. I have said it and keep
saying it, that the perfidy of the
Keputlicans never avails the uemo-
ciats anything, for every time the
Republicans act tho rascai, the Dem
ocrats play the fool. The south
wants the Panama canal, and wants
it worse than they want the presi-
lency, and it will be worth a thous
and times moie to the south than a
dozen Democratic presidents can b
worth, and my candid judgment IS
that my congressman or senator who
throws'hintsclf against the building
of that canal will find that his name
is Dennis when he stands for re-election.
The business interests of
America have gotten way the other
side of sentiment, lankee Doodle
and Dixie are tunes yon can sing and
play at reunions and festivals, but
they wont work in cotton factories,
iron mines cotton exchanges, dry
goods and grocery stores; they won't
hut railroad ticket nor pay n i.ei
bills. This is no longer so much
the land of the free ana the home
of the brave," it is a land of com
merce and push and get aud hold;
even England herself lays aside her
kinship to Uussia and will help Ja
pan lick her, rather than see her
commerce inteitered wuu ami nrr
dollars diminished.
I note with profound apprehension
and sorrow the annoiinccnier.t of the
serious illness of General Gordon.
General lx)tigstrcet is just laid away.
He was the ranking general ot the
Confederate war until his death, and
do him honor now because honor
is due hi n both living and dead.
General Gordon is now the "rank
ing general!" even in his desperate
illnes, as lie Butlers in norm iouhy.
The south never ceased to admire
LoiiEstreet, and they have never done
otherwise than love Gordon. Gen
eral Gordon, the noble hero that he
is, as brave as a lion and as gentle as
a woman. He can never know nu
much he has done to weld and mould
together the north and south by his
lectures on "The list Days of the
Confederacy." The last conversa
lion I had "with General Gordon 1
said as much to him and in that
. u. 1 . Y mi I
conversation he said to me. es, 1
hope I have done some good as 1
have lectured over this broad land."
He said: "I was in ermont some
week" ago," naming the city, and
said he, "when I was introduced to
the great audience they seemed as
cold is an iceberg. I fult that, the
bieczes were coming from on me
northern ocean when I stepped out
on the platform, but 1 determined to
beard the lion is Uis lien, anu oeing
introduced to the audience, I said:
'Ladies and Gentlemen: Here is a live
and kicking reble general who fought
yon from first to last with all the
spirit and enthusiasm of his soul. I
got their attention and delivered my
lecture on 'The Last Days of the
CoufederVy.' When I was through
they ran up t'; me and grasped my
hands, some with tears trickling
down their cheeks, and thanked me
for the lecture, and said it was a re
velation to them and the yery last
man, a thin visaged, black eyed cad-
averotia fellow, perhiipi more than
sixty years of age, walked up to me,
threw his black eyes in my i'aee, ex
tended his baud, and said: 'General
liordoii. I have hated you lor more
1 1 lull thirty years: I have hated every
j thing south.' I had cause for hatiii
you. i on killed the noblest boy ol
my home, and he lies buried now in
an unknown grave. We have mourn
ed his loss for all these years, and 1
hated you and everything south be
cause you killed my boy; but here i
my hand, 1 will never hate yon anv
i more: I will never hale the southern
people any more. When 1 had listen
' southern soldier marched barefooted,
how lie lived without a bite some
days, how he sniveled, I can
see that he was lighting for the cause
which he esteemed more dear than
life. I am chid I heard you tonight
I May God bless you. general. My
hatred for th" south is all gone now
forever.' "
Truly General Gordon has been
an angei of peace and gooil will, lie
loves his fellow man, but never knew
the sense of fear. A brav man like
him carries a heart incapable of
hatred and impervious to malice. I
trust the news from his bedside niav
give us hope of his r very, ami
that General Gordon will live for
many years among his fellow men.
as be surely will live in our hearts
ns long as memory holds its place.
Yonrs truly. " Sam P. Jones.
