Friday, April 28, 1911.
. The Suffragettes should look aftei
the D. A. H. Congress, for a "inert
man" is engaged there as reading
clerk. *
The vote on the ' farmers' t'rei
trade" bill will show just how much
reliance can' be placed on the insurgents
for tariff reform.
Chairman Underwood's steam
roller is the envy of the Kcpublicau
leaders; they had no idea that hr
would prove to be such an expert
chnfl'eur.
It will take quite along debate
on reciprocity in the .Senate to divide
tile sheep from the goats, and
longer to discover who favors the
farmers' free trade bill.
The "dry" county option bill in
? Illinois was defeated in the legisla
ture by a vote of 83 to t>3, tlierefore
the present law of town opttoffSvill
remain in force.
Nearly every other commodity
but cotton is depressed in price, vet
there is free trade in cotton! Why
don't the standpatters explain tliii
npset of their theory of tariff protec
tion ?
Amoko the list of Jurors drawn
for the Federal court to convene ir,
Raleigh -Vlay i!2nd, we notice the
following from Frauklin county; _H
F. Gupton, R. M. flicks, Roberl
W right.
It now appears that the Tift administration
people have been Sheading
no tears over the defeat of tin
Republican candidate for Mayor ol
Chicago, for the election of Professoi
Merriam would have been claimed
V. as an insurgent victory.
We don't believe that tale from
Washington about the three district
employees being thrown trom tilt
water wagon. They must have
jumped off tp investigate whethei
or not the decision of President Tafl
as to what is whiskey was a correct
one.
The Republican leaders are .still
in hopes that the Democrats wllj
make asses of themselves; but the
Democrats are going right along
with their reform legislation ai
though there were no standpatter!
in existence. This is positive cruelty
to the Republican animals. f
What a waste of goo<l wine thert
was when those French rioters de.
stroyed six million bottles of cbampiagn
in one town. They are nol
prohibitionists, for practically theii
only drink is light wine- but ther?
does not appear to have been atij
drinking of tbe champaign.
It appears TKat Prof. Sargent waj
right when he declared that "woman
is nearer the savage state than man,'
for a crowd of savage women has
jumped on him, including most nl
the I). A. R's. But the knocking
that he is receiving from "mere
men" proves that moBt of us regard
woman as very little lower than tht
. angels.
If it is true that tbebSaeball pitch
er who quit boozing began to wit
games, he should be exhibited bt
the Prohibitionistn, as their humat
temperance document. This woulc
have more effect upon young America
as to the value of tbe temperab
life than all the sermons evei
preached.
The next report of tbe AgricuL
tural Department on the conditio!)
'of'Winter wheat and the aoreagt
on May 1st, will be issued on May
8th. That report will allow a somewhat
olotte estimate of what the yrintor
wheat wilT produce, and will
havg a greet influence on the prim
of wheat until tie' total erop is as'
|
sured.

1 THE INTER STATE BOUNDARY
case:
Interview on Carolina Tennes
J| see Dispute Given by Attor
| ney General
' Alt^ney-General T. W. Hickett
returned to the city lust night from
the We. tern pari of the State,
where he has, f*?r several dare
been engaged in yiking testimony
, in the Boundary blue case between
r, North Carolina and Tennessee
Upon being naked about thejUatiu
of the ease, the Attorney-General
, said: . %
i UI brought back with me, to be deposited
for safe keeping with the
: Secretary of State,-' and to be produced
by me in the trial of this case
i before the Suptettie court of the United
Slates, a book which 1 think set
: ties Oils dispute about the boumlan
j line, and settles it 'in favor of the
North Carolina coiueution. That
j boob is the field book of Col. William
I >.i veil port, who was the sur
j veyoi for North Carolina when this
j hue was run in U>21, and contains
a full accounUnf tlie survey, giving
the course uud distance of each of
| the one hundred ai d sixteen miles
I run by the-Commissioners appointed
| by.jhe States cf North Carolina and
, j Tennessee.
j . uThe calls in this book tahy with
what North Carolina lias always
contended is the true State line.
! When this suit?was brought no
field notes could be found, but a few
| years ago the archivist of that State
,! unearthed the map made by the
Commissioners, and filed with the
State of Tennessee, and this map
| greatly strengthens the North Caro,
i lina position. The field notes threw
, j light upon some matters I hat could
, j not be understood from the map,
4 and the map and notes together
. I seemed to make an unanswerable
j case for this State.
"This field book was discovered
'last November by Captain William
! Davenport Jones, the grandson of
i'Cot. Davenport, who now lives and
f I has, for the last fifty years, lived in
' his grandfather's home. A number
1 of searches had beeu made before
this for papers bearing upon this
Controversy, but without avail. In
i the old Davenport home theie is a
t famous sideboard, made from walnut
t'cut or the Davenport plantation
J in Caldwell county, and made on
[the place by'a cabinet-maker, who
1 spent some time in that section of
I the State, making furniture for ttie
j prominent families.
"The sideboard is, in itself, a wonI'
derful piece of workmanshin, being
i entirely band made, and inlaid with
, hoi y, In this sideboard was a large
, drawer, and in this drawer were a
( number of inner drawers, and in
( a vert shallow drawer, not over an
. j inch deep, whieh had theretofore e>j
caned investigation, Captain Jones,
| last November, found this field book
, i of his grandfather, Coh^Davenport.
"The book, and every pfcrt of it, is
.'written in the handwriftngN^ Col.
TV - . -I - * L!. ?" ?
, j.j .cupvn ui mai itu) wue, wie
. testimony shewing tha^Col Daven(1
port's wife acted as his amanuensis.
r "Capt.W.IJ.Jones, who is a brother
! ot Captain Edmond Jones, of Lenoir,
-values most highly this venerable
. | document, but graciously allowed
: North Carolina to have the book
{until this suit is determined, when
.lit is tC be returned to him."
f ??
, Bond Issue.
i Mr. Editor:?1 am afraid the people
[' generally do not understand fully what
, the bond issue is for, and as I think it
is important I write this to explain the
same. The town has a floating indebtedness
of about eight to ten thousand
dollars which was caused by the watt r
works and electric light plants costing
r more than was expected, and as this
i debt has been on us for pome time it
| has cramped us very and hurt
the credit of the town. I would not be
willing to vote to put another cent ol
' tax on the town, but we owe this
r amount and the town hasn't got the
money to pay the debt, and it is simply
closing an account that we cannot pat
by giving our note for it until we are
able to pay it, or like giving your note
' for an overdraft at the bank. It does
* not make us owe one penny more
r but gives us a chance to meet it later
. and I hope every voter will vote for tb?
bond issne. We have a good set ol
. commissioners and a good Mayor, and
1 thick that the town afflaira will be in
' good hands, and that if the bond issue
is voted the taxes will soon be reduced.
And I honestly believe it will be to our
n'
: : :
" " " T "I ^Tl. . ??'
beet interest to vote for this issue. I
certainly would not be in favor of it unites
1 thought so.
. v 7 F. 2i. Egkrton.
I have read the above article of Mr.
F. N. Egerton arid heartily endorse the
j same, We. owe it to ourselves to pro;
tect the credit and good name of our
( | town. Of course no more bonds will be
I issued than are absolutely necessary to
' | pay what we owe.
?j T. W. BlCKKTT.
1 I endorse the above article of Mr. F
i N. Kgerton and will add that the taxes
applied to pay interest on the>e bonds|
( will not exceed if they will amount to
as much as the interest on the floating j
debt which is now paid in short loans
as some are made bv the commissioners I
on their individual endorsement for the I
, town's debts. _
w*. h. hukfin.
We have read the above articles and
heartily endorse them.
