WHY BRYAN WENT DOWN IN DEFEAT. Behold now all ye people who have been explaining why Mr. Brvan went down in defeat and have been commenting learned ly thereupon, know that your comments are idle and vain; yae, out of the mouth of a Lumber ton prophet you are confounded and put to utter shame. We know now what caused the great Republican victory that pushed Mr. Taft he's too large to sweep anywhere, you know or that will push Mr. Taft which is the same thing into the White House. We know to a gnat s heel. The professor did it. Prof. Richard H. Norris, scientist, sometime of Georgia but now again, after some years of wandering, a sojourner in Rob 3on county, Lumberton town the places that knew him of old, back in the days when the blood of youth ran in his veins Prof. Norris, whose natural state of mind is communion with the stars and with all unseen and occult influences that give the average man pause. The professor is not only in close communion continually with the powers that be above, but he is also in full sympathy with the powers that be in the nationa' administration which is to say that he is a Republican. Sort of careless like, he let things jog along until just before the election, resting secure in the knowledge that in the twinkling of an eye he could do the trick and just at the last moment he aroused himself, shook his flow ing locks, put the proper in fluences in motion, and from that moment Mr. Bryan had no more chance of winning the Presidency than the proverbia snow oau ha3 of retaining its original shape in that place where they don't shovel snow No more. Ana the professor knew just how it was going to come out Here is the proof, if any are sKepucai. Here is the exact copy of a telegram which the professor sent to The New York Times: Lumberton, N. C. Nov. 3, 1908, (Time filed. 6:30 p. m.) lo Ihe Times, New York "Received an occult communi cation at 4:35 announcing the overwhelming defeat of Bryan, Its alright. Loyalty, Liberty and Union forever were the vita issues which wrought the te feat." "Scientist Richard H. Norris." And here is another wire which was filed at 6:25 p. m. Novem ber 1st, which properly ought to have come first: "President Roosevelt, Washington, D. C. 1 m tor Taft. Twice I fol i . lowed JBryan to defeat. I hear a voice thou canst not hear, 'Norris and victory!' Assuaged be your concern. God is good." "Richard H. Norris." Peace, be still. We bet the President slept in peace that nierht. What What we are mad about is that the Drofpssor HiH nnt give us the news from taw first off, so that we could have wired to a waiting world and gained thereby much glory. But the professor was good to Lumber - ton. Instead of wiring f rom Kingsdale, where he received the occult communication K0 hastened to Lumberton to give this town the iiunor oi navinir u . "i-sscijje senc irom nere. t or which the town is duly grate ful, and we get crumbs of com fort out of being able to tell just why Mr. Bryan was defeated. Let no ungrateful wretch arise to ask the professor why he did not bring further influences to bear an.i dwaep the Republican ticket in State and countv into v ( tor. . -.,e ti.n us it not enough for durprise the country by an overwhelming vic- torv f..r , . .. ,clt. xt was enougn. Assuage your concern; peace, be THE still; God ia good. Selah. It's as clear a can be. Professor Norris collared a few stars maybe all the stars and made them work for Mr. Taft, and that's why Mr. Bryan went down in defeat. Q. E. D. Since the above was written we have been informed that rofessor Norris says he is the man who passed it to Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia. The Drofessor was sojourning in Georgia at that time. He decid ed that Governor Smith should not be nominated and well, everybody knows what happen ed. THE STATE HOSPITALS. At a special meeting held re cently the board of directors of the State Hospital at Morganton prepared an address to the peo ple of the State setting forth why that hospital remains crowded and has had to turn away many applicants notwithstanding the appropriation of half a million dollars, available $125,000 a year, made by the Legislature two year ago. We regret that the copy of The Charlotte Observer in which this address was pub lished, with appropriate editorial comment thereon, has been mis placed, so that we cannot give exact dates and figures; but if our memory is not at fault more than $100,000 have been spent at Raleigh, about $56,000 at Goldsboro, and during the same time some $4,500 have been appro priated for the Morganton Hos pital, this last for land which is of no sort of use to the directors of that institution except for the erection of buildings for male patients. The Morganton Hos pital has been and is an admirable institution, under excellent man agementthat has not been questioned an institution of which the entire State is proud and which is favorably known outside the borders of the State, yet whenever the urgent need for an additional appropriation for that hospital-$30,000 is asked for, we believe is presented the commission which has the power of distributing the money appro priated by the General Assembly says that the accommodations at Raleigh must be made equal to those at Morganton before any more appropriation is made for the hospital at the latter place gives that as its reason for ref us mg to appropriate the amount asked for at Morganton without even claiming that the same ac commodations are needed at Raleigh. We do not now recall and have not taken the trouble to find out who the eastern 1 ii i - mem ours mree oi tne nve are in the eastern district of that commission are; but whoever they are, they ought to be made the subjects throughout the State of such blasting ridicule and withering carcasm that they would be ashamed to show them selves until they learn that ade quate provision for the care of the unfortunate afflicted, no mat ter to what part of the State the avyLvyrmuun goes, is oi in finitely greater importance than any narrow, mean, measly, con temptible consideration of ob taming equal accommodations for any particular hospital when it is not even claimed that equa accommodations are needed. But for the fact that he seems to feel called upon to express an opinion upon every subject upon tv iiii.il muniment may De maue in heaven above, on tie earth be neath and in the waters which surround the earth, we see no special reason why President Roosevelt should be so super- liuoua to mane any comment at all upon President-Elect Taft's religion, but since he has seen fit to make public a letter in regard to that we are glad to be aoie lor once to agree with the President that "Mr. Taft's reli- kivuo uin ib purely nis own m riii a aUL 1 t 1 ! ?"vate concern and nt a matter I TAW WAM vwn 1 J.' a . iUt Kisnu aiscussion and polit- ? aiscriminatlon- Long before 1 election and before we had 8660 any exPression whatever in : Bllu tu Lne matter trom any ' V er than the correspon- 1 6 to which we were "flying, Tu occasio" to say in effect mereu 11 mity uiai we considered it j small business to ring the changes laft s religion and u1. i "'ii -ior our part, so far as hi religion was concerned, we would as soon vote for him as for Mr. Bryan. Later, in a private con versation, we were taken to task severely by a well-known editor of a church paper whom we esteem highly for. giving expres sion to the same thing. But we have seen no reason tn nh our belief and we still think that the papers and men that tried to make nnlitiVal Pomfni xi . . . "wuuuxj.ur. iail S larth ought to go 'way back and sit down and feel m7ght asham- ed for that they ever got down to such small business. Some time ago, prior to the election, Col. N. A. McLean re signed as attorney for the board of audit and finance of the coun ty, giving as his reason that he did not care to be in any way connected with the affairs of the county as at present administer ed. Now Mr. A. B. Pearsall, as will be seen from a card pub lished elsewhere in this paper, resigns as chairman of that board because he deems it unnec essary for the board of audit and finance to make any further in vestigation if the commissioners are to continue to wholly disre gard its action and the courts are to take no action in regard to its findings. We understand and appreciate the motives that prompted Col. McLean and Mr. Pearsall in their action, but we regret that they have found it necessary to take the step. We believe the board of audit and finance has dope much good and that its usefulness is by no means at an end. We hope the board of audit and finance will con tinue its thankless work and its seemingly hopeless efforts to correct evils that have crept into the administration of the affairs of the county. Its work has not been and will not be in vain. The killing of ex-Senator Ed ward Ward Carmack on a street in Nashville, Tenn., one week ago today seems to have been noth ing more nor le3S than a coward ly murder. According to the only eyewitness of the tragedy the murdered man, who was one of the most brilliant men in the country, was taken entirely un awares, was smilingly speaking to a lady, with his hat in his right hand and a cigar and newspaper in the other, when he was exultingly informed that the Coopers, father and son, "had the drop on him." Mr. Car mack sprang clear of the wo man to whom he had been speak ing and bravely put up the best fight possible under the circumstances, but he had no chance for his life. Colonel Coop er has been referred to as a "gentleman" who counts life as nothing when honor's at stake. His enemy's life he counted as nothing, but his own he held above all considerations of honor. Men who try to live up to the name do not waylay and shoot down an enemy without giving him an equal chance for his life. Ti. ii i it was a cowarcuy, orutai mur der, and what Tennessee is going to do about it will either brighten or blacken the fair name of that State. If this thing of mistaking and shooting men for turkeys and other game keeps up it will be necessary for those who venture into the woods to keep up a con tinual noise like a man. The Wadesboro Messenger and In- n: wcuiKcncer gives an account in its last issue of a man who went out to shoot turkeys on the Great Pee Dee last Monday, saw something black through the trees and plugged away at it, ana wnen he ran forward to bag his game was horrified to hear a man's voice moaning, Hir y1 i ....... iviy vjroa, i am killed," and to see a man lying prostrate. It turned out that the man was not seriously wounded, after all, but it's a good thing for Mr. Hardy Sellers, who did the shoot ing, that he was scared within an inch of his life. Perhaps next time he will know what he s shooting at before he shoots, mi. ine service on the rural route from St. Pauls has been changed from daily to tri-weekly, which works a great inconvenience to the people on that route. They get mail now only on Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays. Mail that reaches St. Pauls Monday aiiernoon, for instance, must lie there until Wednesday. The Robesonian is mailed from here Monday and Thursday after noons, and owing to this change in service Thursday's paper can not reach subscrihpra route until the following Monday. In view of the fact that 4,000 pieces of mail were carried on that route last month it is diffi cult to understand why the change was made. We hope the daily service will be restored. Some folks in the upper end are taking a fresh hold in agitat ing that matter of a new county and Raeford and Red Springs seem to be about to fall out over the question of which shall be the countv seat. Why not sit steady in the boat? The proud distinction of living in the largest county in the State is like unto being able to boast that one is a citizen of no mean city. B etter . bear the ills you have than fly to others that you know not CARMACK WAS MURDERED Grand Jury Finds True Bill. Nashville. Tenn., Dispatch, 13th. At 2:15 O'clock this? afrprn the grand jury of Davidson coun ty returned a true bill in which Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, his son Robin J. Cooper, and ex Sheriff John D. Sharp are jointly charged with the murder of ex Senator E. W. Carmack, and in which Sharp is also indicted on the charge of being an accessory before the fact. The names of of six witnesses appear on the back of the indictment. There are two counts in the indictment, the first charging the three men jointly with the murder, and the second one charging John D. Sharp with be ing n accessory before the fact. The name of S. Carmack, a brother of the slain man, appears on tne indictment as prosecutor. Robin J. Cooper will, in all probability, be able to be moved in several days to the county jail. The Memphis Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in session at Covington, today adopted resolutions declar ing that Carmack died a martyr to his convictions of duty, and to the cause of temperance and of righteousness. President Roosevelt says no Cut ting of Southern Representa tion is Contemplated. New York Dispatch. 8th. A Washington special to the Times says President Roosevelt's views on Southern representa tion in the House are given in a letter to Wyndham R. Meredith, president of the Virginia Bar Association. The letter, which is dated October 27, says, in part: "I do not believe there is a single individual of any conse quence who seriously dreams of cutting down Southern repre sentation, ana i should have no hesitation in stating anywhere 3 i j ' .1 , . anu at any time tnat as long as the election laws are constitu tionally enforced without dis crimination as to color, the fear 4-U-t . . . mat ouuuiern representation in Congress will be cut down is both idle and absurd. To Form Credit Bureau. Wilmington Star, 13th. As the result of a very enthu siastic meeting of Wilmington jobbers and wholesale merchants, representing nearly every line carried in the city, yesterdav morning at the Chamber of Com merce, it was decided to invite Mr. H. E. Baxter, of Natchez, Miss., to come to Wilmington within the next week or ten days to address the merchants upon the advisability of establishing here a credit bureau and clear ing house similar to those now being maintained in All the prin cipal wholesale centers of the South.
