Let m hope that Mr. Roosevelt will be president jbf tho whole country and all its people. The South haagoDe through gtnany trying ordeals an 1 while the .President's course in tbe past ha- been .effensive to every true South erner, let ns bear these iudigni k with patience. From the recent de feat the great democratic party will emerge four y ems hence, clothed in ' her right mind and wearing her usual bright smile. Many theories are being advanced for tnis overwhelming defeat of Judge Parker. Some will contend he was not the proper man; other? may attribute it to tho national ev cutivn committee, while other critics may call for a new party. Let it be steadfast and not lose nr bear ing). The enormous corruption fund of the national administiuiiou curried all the doubtful states. The success of uoh tactics can be but tempor ary. "The principles of democracy are immortal and cannot die." They are as trne today as at any time in the party's history. Let us lay aside any ill feelii that may have been engendered din ¬ ing the cainpaigu and get to luii-i ne6S. Harsh words are SL'iue times spoken in an unguarded moment. While it has been considered neces sary for us to deal with some facts and records which we admit are net altogether pleasant, yet we have dealt with the public aeU and rtCutd? that it was our duty, publishing a newspaper, in order to euliirWn and inform tho people. In this we have fulfilled our uimsion. Had wc u 'j lected tuis we would fiU that were guilty of onii-dmi of iuiy. In perfjruiing .his dim we have made no reference to the private character of any one, but L.ivv. dealt with re cord in an official wav. The Supreme Court of tho United States has dei lined a re-heating of the famous South Dakota bund suit against the State of North Carolina, and the state w ill have to pay mort than $25,000.00 of bonds. It is now said that Butler and Kossell have arranged forthe3ti,liHi,0U0 fraudu lent bonds outstanding against the state of North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and other states, anu will institute suit within the next few weeks against a number of southern states.

Good order prevailed every where and no whiskey was used The republicans in their campaign in the county have made their fittht on the Watts Law aud while many democrats remained at home many rennblicaus voted the democratic ticket.
