Gaskill has made an nouncement of his candidacy for mayor of Salisbury, subject to the Democratic primaries- Mr. Gaskill is in every way qualified for the position. He is a man witTTa clean record, of good sound -judgment and buiness ability, he is a progressive and safe man, one who haB done a man's day's work and appreciates the difference be tween profitable investments and extravagance ; he is reliable, is Lnot given to trickery or question able practices ; e is honest, pays his bills, and if elected mayor he will execute the laws as they are - written, fulfilling every obligation without stint and without usurpa tion. Salisbury is fast approach ing a crisis, something needs to tie and something must be done, and that something is the election of D. L. Gaskill mayor. AS TO ROADS. Lee's article in the Watchman on Stokes' ferry road, and side re marks as to how things are con ducted by our County Commis sioners, carried with it some very unpleasant facts. We .do not know that the Stokes' ferry road has been deliberately neglected, unintentionallyy overlooked or whether in the nature of things. the Commissioners have been pre vented from doing necessary work on it. We all know work cannot be carried on in all parts of the county at once, and it is also known that no township should expect more work on its roads than the taxes paid by such town--shipwril justify. We feel that while each township is entitled to -consideration that, at this partic ular time, judgment should be withheld until weather conditions will permit road work and also till the present board, practically a neiroard, has had ample op "portunity to show its hand. An- other thing should be borne in mind, that of the provision for - thosewho live along the road to - worx Bne roaas. Mucn gooa couia be done in this way if proper f ef forts are made. It is a very hard matter to please everybody and our Commissioners are no more than human, so when one secures a road for his neighborhood it is no more than can be reasonably expected of him, and the effort to get a road is often the result of some one boing made a County -Commissioner. Our sympathies are generally undiv.idedly with the people, believing their best interests should always receive first considerations, and such is generally the case,1 but politics are responsible for more or less jnjusticer This is to be deplored' byall gooci people, but the remedy is in the hands of the people and it should be used." Elect a com missionar from your neighbor hood and see how it works. Scare head lines in a village newspaper, such as "The Russians Victorious, ' ' don't seem to be of much benefit to the fleeing gentry. Mrs, Jane L. Stanford, who died in Honolulu, Hawaii, Feb. 28th, was the wife of the late Senator Leland Stanford, of California, who contributed a large sum to Jjivingstone College, of this place, after whom Stanford Seminary is named. Dakota bond judgment and; other North Carolina bonds held by Shafer Bros., Gov. Glenn and the legislature did the right aDd proper thing, in fact about the only thing that could have been doue. These bonds were already out standing and due, there was not sufficient cash on hand to take them up and a new issue was sim ple and entirely justifiable. A specimen of great financial ability, one of which you may hear the blind followers of our little czar gloating oyer, is the sale of one of the graded school buildings. These buildings, according to a partial report made about three years ' ago, cost approximately $1,750 each, one of which was re cently sold, we -are told, for $500. A clear loss of $1,250. Just listen to the explanations and you will almost be persuaded the city has been benefited some $6,000 or $8,000. or just such other great figure as the Healer may think ho can impose on the public's credu lity. Only a specimen. Think it over. Is this the kind of pros perity wanted? - 1 With the closing of the 58th Congress. Saturday, March 4th, quite a number of seats changed hands in the halls of the House of Representatives and Senate, Some have been for the better and some for worse. The Eighth con gressional district of North Care lina is one of the sufferers. It will probably represent the most marked extremes in the United States. Hon. Theo. P. Kluttz, the outgoing representative, a man of keen wit, sound logic, big heart, clean hands, far sighted, an able statesman and exalted patriot, gives way to a man whose low cunning and hypocracy enum erate his entire assets. Mr. "SQuttz's service iu Congress has been of the highest order, of ceaseless effort and great andbene ficial results, not alone to hisState anddistrictjbut the entire nation. He will be missed and North Car olina will feel her loss, but Salis bury will welcome his return as a good and loyal citizen of whom she is justly proud. Mr. Kluttz is too young and too valuable in the service of his fellow citizens to consider himself, henceforth, however desirable, a mere private in the ranks. So-long as we have battles to fight and rights todefend he may expect, so long as he is able, to be called again and again to the front. ' The bill introduced in the Sen ate, by Senator R. Lee Wright, for the purpose of securing honest and fair primary elections in Sal isbury and Rowan, county, was either ignored or deliberately kill ed by our Representatives, Walter Murphy and J. S. Hall. This is equivolent to these gentlenien saying :"an honest primary is hot wanted, the ring's chances of con trol would be injured thereby." And it has been injured. Such methods will cause it continual and increas inginjury.Nobona fide citizen or right-intending voter can reasonably object to the cer tification of a fact, which is all the bill required of such a citizen ; but of the scoundrel and schem ing politician it very properly re quired more. It is commonly ad mitted that a man who cannot legally vote in the election is not justly entitled to vote in a pri mary, nor or those who are entitled to a tyote privi leged to cast more than one bal lot. It is not sufficient to say that the present methods are open to all comers. Even if all take advantage of them, it does not make them right. Such corrupt methods have the effect of keep ing decent people dut of politics and our governments are thus kept in the hands of tricksters J and pie-hunters. No wonder we hear the remark, "I am a gentle- man. not a politican." Mr. v Wright's bill sought to it's defeat will keep isome gentle men busy with explanations. WAR NEWS. , The Russians Rushing for Gofer. Almost Annihilated. ; General - Kuropatkin is giving ground before the armies of Japan, ar.d yesterday he abandoned po sit ifons south and southwest ef Mukden; burning such of his sup plies as be could not carrr with him. The Japanese artillery is thundering at the very gates of Mukden, which position the Rus sians still hold but which they are admittedly prepared to evacuate, changing their base to - Tie Pass, which is forty miles north of Muk den. So far as the retreat has progressed, it has been orderly. W hat the Japanese may nave in, a. v stre for the defeated army on its retirement northward remains to be disclosed. There are reports that General Reiinenkampff, the foremost cavalry general of the Russian army in Manchuria, has been cut off on the coast from the main force, and. Japanese troops in considerable numbers, are said to be already in the vicinity of Tie Pass. The retirement unques tionably cost the Russians dear in the matter of supplies and" heavy guns. Neither commanders nor correspondents have yet ventured to estimate the number killed or wounded in the eleven days of fighting. The Russians casualties in the fighting Tuesday on the left flank are said to have been fully 7,000. Charlotte Observer. Genera Kuroki's Headquarters in the Field, via Fusan, March 8, morning. The Russians last night, under cover of darkness, evacuated the whole line along the Shakhe river, and are now in full retreat northward. Th.3 Japanese infantry is pressing themf closely. Before retreating, the 'Russians set fire to great heaps of supplies, which burned throughout the night. The fall of Mukden ap pears imminent. The Japanese are pushing the Russians hard on the east. Washington, March 8. The State Department is officially in formed from Tokiu that the Japan ese have achieved a great victory before Mukden and that the Rus sian army is in full retreat. The casualties are numerous on both sides. v Paris, March 8. A dispatch to to The Temps from Tananarivo, F capital of the island of Madagas car, says the Russian fleet has left the waters of Madagascar on its return to Jibutil, French Somali land. Inaugurals, then and Now. Mr. Norman Hapgood makes an interesting comparison between the times of President Washing ton's and President Roosevelt's inaugurals, and among other things says : The inaugural this week unfolds far other sights and a far different leader. When the first president was inaugurated, the city which was to bear his name was in the womb of time. When John Adams entered it, it consisted of half-finished edifices lying in a wilderness. Firewood was scarce, because none could be found to cut the trees. The spot was beautiful but wild. Savages and beasts still lurked among the thickets, ana from the adjoining hill the wide view swept over distances unknown to civilized man.- Today this capi tal oi an immense and powerful race, this fair&st city swarms with Americans from vast western regions, which then no white man's 'eye had seen. It is dotted, also, here and there, on tlie oc casion of the x26th president's in augural, with people of dusky hue and varied garb, tokens of an empire undreamed of when Wash ington was alive. Conditions changing have altered profoundly the nremises on which the nhilosn- ! phy of that day was based. It as sumed remoteness from the other j world as thi essential of our posi- j tion. Now we reach that world as eaailv as Washington came 5 irom .Boston to New York. We F 1 T71 1 - l 1 ,1 speac .Ejurope more quicKiy tnan Washington could get a 4 from one wing of hia an message other. Changing facts - have meant changing policies, and yet inspirit tne pnnosopny ol lToy guides our steps today. Could Washington be deposited iu the city of his name, he would draw no quick Conclusions. Haste was no ingredient of his nature. He would learn whether the the 80, 000,000 people who had spread across his continent were happy, as this world goes. He would de cide whether they were virtuous, in man's small way, and I think he would conclude that the coun try had done well with the. in heritance which he left, Collier's Weekly. Color in Men's Clothes. . There is no real reason why knee breeches should not eventu ally be generally worn. Men are nor, after all, so satorially con servative as they used to be. See how they have burst into color during the last few years. Take their ties alone. For one man who ventured upon a red tie ten years ago there are now scores. And, again, think of their pretty waistcoats I Such varied fantasy as these display was quitle unknown ten years ago. Black or white was their only alternative during the fifty years that passed since em broidered waistcoats went out. Then one day a smart man wore a tan-colored waistcoat. Next day there were two men with tan-colored waistcoats. Their ties were either black or white or black and white. A week later a marl in the park lounged on the rail and seem ed unconscious of the observation' he excited. He had a biscuit colored silk alpaca waistcoat and a faintly blue tie. With his gray blue eyes and chestnut hair, these colors harmonized so well that he was greatly admired, and though many men despised him for dar ing to introduce such innovations they only pondered as to what colors would suit themselves. And turn your thoughts to colored shirts. They in them selves spelled a sartorial revolu tion. London Truth. DEATHS. Renshaw.
