THE NEW YOKK FXECTION AXI
NATIONAL POLITICS.
IT DOES GOOD.
"The great reliability run between
Niw York and Atlanta, if it does noth
ing else, gave impetus to the good
roads movement In North Carolina. In
every section of the state through
which the tourist passed." snys the
Winston Journal, "farmers and towns
people gathered to cheer and wish
them luck. The coming of the auto
mobile has added strength to the cause
of good roads. The farmer now has
a powerful friend in his effort to se
cure good thoroughfares over which
to haul his produce. This means that
the good roads movement, already
powerful, will Increase In force and
that in a few years at least every Im
portant highway In North Carolina
will be Macadamized."
There is much In this, the New York
Sun to the contrary notwithstanding
These newspaper "stunts" emphasize
and adverting the desirability of good
roads. They do not build them, that
Is true; but they make good roads
advocates of voters. The time Is at
hand when the average man will be
ashamed to vote against good roads,
even those that are so stingy and short
sighted as to dislike to pay their part
toward building them.
North Carolinians are more than
commonly Interested In the election
which Is being held in New York to
duy. A former North Carollnlun.
Goint Gordon BMle, is a cundiduJ'
for one of the most important offices
at stake that of district attorney.
Sunday's Herald thus alluded to the
two candidates for the office In ques
tion: "Mr. 13att!e, a native of North
Carolina, is a typical southerner and
has been in New York since he was
graduated in the law. Mr. Whitman
Is a native of Connecticut, und like
wise has been in New York since he
flnish'-d his educational courses. 11c-.
like Mr. ltattle, has established a rep
utation for aggressiveness. lie has
always been a republican. Mr.'ltattlc
has always been a democrat. Neither
has e been active in politics."
The Herald also makes a direct
connection between today's election
and national politics. It thus presents
the election from the Washington
viewpoint:
"Mr. Parsons, 'controlling the pa
tronage of the great city of New York,
would liecome the greatest boss the
republican party has ever seen. His
Inlluetice would be greatly strengthen
ed at Washington, and he would Im
mediately i become un opponent with
. w hom the President, the Speaker and
the Senate must reckon. Behind him
In the popular Imagination would
stand Mr. Roosevelt, eager to come
hack and take hold, and the question
for Republicans In Congress to de
cide would at once become:
' Shall we Join In a movement to
defeat a Itcpulillcan President's poli
cies snd elect a Democratic House in
order that we nry have political
chaos with all the Ills that the Injec
tion of Mr. Hoosevelt Into varty af
fairs would bring?'
"lAt It be then assumed that Mr.
Parsons, if he elect his Mayor, will
control him and obtain vindication,
patronage and prestige. How will It
affect Washington this winter?
"Mr. Parsons has promised to con
tinue his light against Speaker Can
non and the House organisation ns at
present constituted. Thus he will llnd
himself arrayed against not only the
Speaker, but the President, Whose
quarrel with 'I'ncle Joe' hus been ad
Justed, snd who looks to that power
ful leader to support his desires for
currency legislation and for a measure
regulating trusts and railways.
"The Republican majority In the
House now is 47. The Ions of 24 Re
publican votes Joining with the solid
Democratic minority will cost the ad
ministration control of the House.
The minute that occurs anil an Insurgent-Democratic
platform Is followed,
causing the defeat of the legislation
desired by the President, that Instant
the election of the Republican House
to succeed that In the present Con
gress becomes a matter of great
doubt.
"Klrst, 'Can Mr. Parsons elect his
Mayor?" Second, "Can he engineer
such a movement to cause the defeat
of. the present leaders of the party at
t Washington?' "
This line of speculating la especial
ly Interesting when It Is remembered
that Mr. Parsons started the Ilannard
campaign In New York with the sen
sational charge that an alliance had
been effected between Mr. Cannon's
organisation In the House and Tam
many, whereby certain Republicans
were to let political affairs go by de
fault In Tammany's stronghold, while
certain much-needed votes were to be
delivered to the Republican regulars
In the House. During the last session
of Congress, while the Insurgents In
the House were doing their utmost U
overthrow the Speaker, or curtail his
power by defeating the House rules,
Fitrgersld of the Tammany brsanlxa
tlon lined up with the Republicans at
a critical juncture, along with certain
ugar democrats from Louisiana. , Mr.
Fitsgerald made a noisy defense of
himself against the charge of Irregu
larity and Inconsistency, lald'at'hls
door by disgusted and distraught col
leagues, but at the time most people
felt there must have been something
bidden behind the scenes. Mr. Par
sons now says he Is giving us the true
inwardness of the situation
' ' Of course we have no way of know
Ing how all these things may be, but
If Mr. Parsons Is right, and Tammany
' and the House organisation have In
point of fact reached an accord, Mr.
Parsons will have to have a lot of
help If he hopes to break through the
ranks of the allies.
A GOOD THING.
If there are 2.000,000 southern peo
ple who are feellne puny and peevish
on account of the hookworm having
got 'em
And if Deacon Rockefeller restores
them to health and peartness;
Then, they will be Interested In
things, und will read at night.
They will, burn Mr. Rockefeller's
oil, reading the newspapers.
Which will be a good thing for Mr.
Roekefeller and the newspapers.

They are preparing to build towns
beautiful resort places along the
line of the CUnchfleld road In the
mountains of western North Carolina.
Eastern Carolina folks are greatly In
terested in these projects, notable
among which Is the establishment of
the town of "Switzerland." The
CUnchfleld road Is a vast project, and
every community that Oan possibly get
In touch with It will be benefited.
A vision of the future for Asheville Is
that of CUnchfleld Pullman car trains,

Judge Pritchard today In United
States Circuit court signed a consent
order in the case of the Cherokee
Tanning Extract company and W. H.
Wodbury against George H. Leonard,
et als, In which it was provided that
the Injunction heretofore granted by
the Circuit court be dissolved; that
the writ of attachment issued by the
Superior court of Cherokee county be
discharged, that the property levied
on in pursuance of the attachment be
released and that the rule for con

The order also taxes the Cherokee

libttory of the Suit.
This suit was begun in the Superior
Court of Cherokee county in IS07 by
W. H. Woodbury and other stockhold
ers against the Cherokee Tanning Ex
tract company. George H. Leonard &
Co., Frank W. Marden, M. S. Orth.
W. O. Hastings, and others, to annul
u contract for the sale of the prod
ucts of the Cherokee Tanning Extract
company to Marden, Orth & Hasklns,
alleging that the contract was null
and void as It was made for the life
or the corporation. The suit was re
moved to United States Circuit court,
and an injunction was issued, pre
venting further shipment of the
goods other than orders then receiv
ed. The contempt proceedings arose
when M. 8. Orth alleged that J. Q.
Hurker, general manager, E. 8. Hen
neman, secretary, and Ed Slaughter,
bookkeeper of the Cherokee Tanning
Extract cdmpany refused to allow him
to see the books of the company, pur
suant to an order of tho court. These
men were arrested and brought to
Asheville, nnd later reelast-d on bond
furnished by John H. Carter.
The order today was signed by
Judge Pritchard In pursuance of an
agreement reached by the stockhold
er! by which all the differences were
to be adjusted, and the suits dropped
und the contempt proceedings strick
en out. Merrick & Barnard repre
sented the defendants and Moore &
Rollins the plaintiffs.

District Attorney Jerome of New
Tork is reputed a pour man, though
he lias held his office for eglit years
at a sulary of $12,000 a year. Accord
ing to popular belief a district attor
ney In New York county, if he were
inclined to be dishonest, could make
112,000,000 a year. One of the great
est tributes to Jerome, therefore, in
the estimation of people who speak
of the matter; Is that he goes out of
office without a dollar. It Is said,
though, that Jerome can oaHlly make
