WEDNESDAY, Apbil 1, 1908.
EL A. LONDON, Editor.
There is no doubt of the peo
ple of North Carolina ratifying
the prohibition law on the 26th of
May by a largo majority if they
can be induced to vote. Every
body seems to take for granted
that there will be. a large major
ity for prohibition, and so there
will be if a large vote is cast, but
therein lies the only danger. No
election can carry itself and every
temperance man must awake to a
full realization of this fact. We
are no alarmist but we do wish to
impress upon the temperance-men
of this state the necessity of their
arousing themselves and getting
out a full vote on the 20fch of
May.
The anti-prohibitionists are
thoroughly organizing and are
spending large sums of money in
a most determined effort to de
feat prohibition. Their canvass
is being very shrewdly managed.
While the sinews of war ( the
campaign fund) are being contri
buted by the whiskey dealers, yet
the campaign managers (th'n"1
who openly manage ) ar- not
whiskey dealers, but are repu
table men of character aud in
fluence. They will get to the
polls every voter who is opposed
to prohibition, aud thit'biing so
it does seem that all those who
favor prohibition should be equal
ly zealous for their cause.
It is an old saying that "Poli
tics makes strange bed-fellows",
and it seems to be equally true
that Prohibition does the same.
Gov. Glenn, Judge Pritchard, Es
Gov. Aycock, Judge Robinson,
Judge Shaw and other prominent
Democrats aud Republicans have
entered the campaign for prohibi
tion and are making magnificent
speeches. Es-Gov. Aycock open
ed his campaign on last Sunday
at Fayetteville aud spoke to large
audiences in the afternoon and at
night. The day before Judge
Pritchard spoke to an immense
crowd in Madison county.
The fact that these distinguish
ed Democrats and Republicans
are advocating prohibition so
zealously is sufficient proof that it
is not. a political question, and no
man should try to use it as a
political measuse either for or
against any political party.
The county conventions of the
Republicans are far from being
harmonious. The Cannon Repub
licans had a majority in the Dur
ham county convention, and there
upon theTaft men bolted. In Ala
mance it was just the reverse.
There the Taft men had a majority
and the Cannon men bolted.
It seems to be a contest be
tween the "outs and the ins.
Those who are holding federal of
fices are for Taft because he is
the favorite of President Roose
velt. The Cannon men are those
who hope to get the federal of
fices if he should become Presi
dent. It is a contest in which
Democrats do not care to take
sides.
These unseemly contests and
factional fights among Republi
cans are not calculated to attract
to that party any respectable
Democrats.
The editor of The Record ap
preciates more highly than words
can express the many compli
mentary notices of his candidacy
for Corporation Commissioner,
with which he has been favored
by hi3 editorial brethren. We
would rather deserve these com
pliments than to hold any office,
and, if honored with the nomina
tion, we will strive with all our
ability to prove worthy of. them.
The name of Mr. T. B. Parker
was accidentally omitted in our
list, published last week, of the
candidates for Commissioner of
Agriculture. He is highly endors
ed by ex-Governor xlycock in a
circular letter, who says that as a
representative from Wayne county
in the Legislature of 1897 "he
rendered memorable service to the
cause of the people."
Do not forget that the v poll-tax
must be paid by the first day of
May. If not, you cannot vote next
month or in November.
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C March 26.
Hon. John Sharp Williams, the
clever minority leader ot tne
House, executed a coup d etat this
week in a speech in which he calls
the Republicans to account for
their evident policy of "passivity."
He said he had waited until the
present time to see some evidence
of an intention to transact busi
ness which the people were, de
manding, but, finding none, he
had reached the conclusion that
the time was ripe to force the
hand of the Republican party. An
old-fashined Democratic filibuster
comprising objections to requests
for unanimous consent, demands
for a roll call at every opportuni
ty, and the raising of points of no
quorum, will be resorted to dur
ing the remainder of the session
by the minority in the House, un
less the Republicans bring in an
emyloyers' liability bill, a cam
paign publicity bill, bills remov
ing the duty on wood pulp aud
print paper, and an anti-injunction
measure. Mr. Williams de
clared that, up to now, the Re
publicans had had smooth sailing;
that he did not want the country
to think the minority was trying
to assume responsibility for legis
lation. He did not desire to ap
pear as trying to coerce the ma
jority until the Republicans had
absolutely "demonstrated before
the country that they did not in
tend to do anything at this ses
i u." "I have finally come to the
vjouclusion," he said, "that the
Republican party has forgotten
to do anvthiu"-. It has become
the party of negation and of pass
ivity aud, so far as I canse3, has
no idea of doing anything. It is
plain now that, without some
method of parliamentary coercion,
you are going to be deaf to every
demand of the country."
Apparently there is no abate
ment in the discussion among
lawyers in Washington and at the
Capitol of the Supreme Court de
cision in the Minnesota aud North
Carolina cases. The so-called ad
vocates of State's rights contend
that the decision ignores thi3 11th
amendment to the Constitution
and ignores State courts, nullify
ing recent State statutes tint
have fixed passenger rates, etc.,
while the other side opposes this
view with the positive contention
that the Supreme Court seeks
only to confine its reasoning to
constitutional limits and inter
pretation. There is also much speculation
as to what the" court will A with
the fine of $29,400,000, which
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Land is
of the United States District
Court of Chicago imposed last
fall upon the Standard Oil Com
pany, of Iudiana, for rebating.
That remarkable fine has not yet
been paid and the president of the
Standard Oil Company is reported
to have said that Judge Laud is
would be dead many years before
it would be paid.
Representative Thomas M. 15-dl
of Georgia, Democratic "whip" of
the House, advocates the nomina
tion of former Senator and Rep
resentative Charles A. Towne for
the Presidency by the Democrat i -national
convention, and he de
sires that Georgia send an uniu
structed delegation to the Denver
convention. Mr. Bell declares
that Mr. Towne can carry as many
votes in the West as Mr. Bryan,
if nominated, and could carry
votes injhe East which Mr. Bry
an could not. "As a constructive
statesman aud orator,"- he says.
"Mr. Towne has no superiors aud
few equals. He would make a
campaign that would go down in
history as one of the most ag
gressive and brilliant in the po
litical annals of our country."
When the President's message
to Congress, this week, was read
in the House the declaration that
the time had come for a revision
of the tariff elicited hand-clapping
on the part of Democratic mem
bers, and Democratic approval,
also was given by way of pound
ing desks, to the suggestion that
Congress could with advantage
forthwith remove the tariff on
wood pulp with a corresponding
reduction upon paper made from
wood pulp.
Iu Washington every member
of the Senate mourns the untime
ly death of. its youngest member,
llliam James Bryan, the hand
some Floridan who had endeared
1 1! 1 .11 it p i
uiuiseu ro an m tne lew weeks
during which he actually occupied
his seat in the upper House. The
opinion prevails, voiced by Presi
dent Roosevelt, that the Senate
has lost a promising member and
the country a valuable servant in
the person of the man who died
on Sunday. Two Senators Pen
rose of Pennsylvania and Tillman
of South Carolina are quite ill,
aud the question on the lips of
all Senators is, "Is there yet to be
another taken?"
Just as a negro named Judd
was preparing to render an oration
at Chesnut church, Lee county,
Friday night, Joe Thomas, anoth
er negro, shot him dead with a pis
tol. The church was- crowded with
colored folks and the shooting
caused a sensation. Immediately
after the shootinsr Thomas took
to the woods and had not been
captured at last report.
A Bull Fight in Peru.
IThe following is -an extract
from a letter from Ensign J. J.
London, dated March 8th, des
cribing a bull-fight at Callao, in
Peru. Ed. Record.
"Before describing this bull
fight it may be well to make a
few prefatory remarks. This fight
was given by the Peruvian gov
ernment and to it. were invited
4,000 blue-jackets and 400 officers,
so that we witnessed one of the
best fights the country could fur
nish. Certainly we could not have
witnessed a more bloody affair,
for as the event proved, three
men were seriously injured, one
of them now on his death-bed.
However, if this man dies, it will
be the first instance of the kind in
60 years of bull-fighting in Peru.
"These are not tame affairs such
as are encountered in Mexico and
other Latin-American countries,
aud they rival iu excitement the
fights of Spain, from which coun
try the stock is imported. The
bulls are large, powerful animals
aud cost several hundred dollars
apiece. Tiie men engaged in this
fighting are paid handsome salar-.
ies, so altogether it is a very ex
pensive sport. Six bulls are gen
erally used at one performance
aud of conrse they are all killed,
as the bull absolutely has no
chance for his life. It was this
feature of the fight that made us
disgusted, the absence of a square
deal for the bull. It is said that
the carcasses of these animals are
given to the poor after, the fight.
The ring is about Si) yards in di
ameter, and the spectators sit iu
a covered stand which surrounds it.
"The fight is directed by a
president. The fighters as a class,
are called toreadors, and are divi
ded iuto groups of picadors, bau
derilleros, and matadors. The
picadors are mouuted horsemen
with lances, the banderilleros are
th'e men ivho stick the bauderillos
in the nape of the bull's neck, and
the matadors kill the bull with a
sword. Only one group of these
men deal with the bull at a time,
the different stages of the fight
being announced by means of a
bugle from the president's stand.
' First the buglo announces the
entrance of th toreadors, rt'ho
march in irud pirade around the
ring, bowing to the enthusiastioJ
cheers of the. spectators. They
station themselves around the
edge of the ring in close proxim
ity to the small barricades into
which they dodge when the bull
presses them too close. The next
bugle announces the bull, A small
gate is opened aud the bull rushes
in. What a magnificent animal
he b! With head erect he bolts
straight across the arena at the
iirt red object which meets his
gaze, and, mind yon, at this stage
of the game every one is very
careful to keep out of his way. As
aresult he rushes round and round
the ring, from one barricade to
another, now and then splintering
tbo barricades with his sharp
horns. The picadors, on horse
back, he does not notice, for he
vill not gore a horse unless he is
struck by the man on the horse's
back. The bull now rests for a
tew seconds aud the mean time
a picador advances with his lance
in its rest. The poor horse is
blind-folded, so doesn't realize
what he is being driven up against.
The bull tosses his head, but does
not advance and when the picador
is within reach he thrusts his
iance in the nape of the bull's
neck. This only serves to madden
the bull and with lowered head he
rushes upon the horseman. He
urores at the horse's leg but strikes
the horse in the body just abaft
Ui-i forelegs, raising him complete
ly off the ground. The horse does
not fall and the bull rushes off at
other toreadors. If the horse talis
the bull continues to gore him,
but fortunately we did not wit
ness such a scene. Generally each
bull is struck by two picadors,
who then retire with their horses.
Meanwhile the bull continues to
rush from one capedor to another,
and they very cleverly escape his
horns, by allowing him to gore
at their garnet colored capes.
This requires very quick foot
work, and that capedor receives the
loudest cheers who makes the nar
rowest escape from the- bull's
horns. In this manner the first
man was injured. As he stepped
aside, his foot was caught and he
tripped and fell. Before he could
rise the bull had turned and gored
him in the leg. All of the cape
dores immediately rushed in and
waving their capes drew the bull
away from the fallen man, thus
saving his life. . Another man
tripped iu the same way but the
bull was so dazed that he" could
not see the man who had doubled
himself up right under the bull,
and the only injury he received
was from the animal's hoofs.
"The bugle next announced tbe
banderilleros. The bull i3 now
blowing hard and is willing to
stand still for a few minutes. The
bauderillero advances with a bau-
derillo in either hand; these in
struments are of different colors,
are about 3 feet long, having a
sharp barb on the end. He at
tracts the bull's attention and as
the bull starts toward him he runs
toward the bull, and before the
bull can gore him he sticks both
bauderillos m the nape of the
bull's neck, and jumps aside. This
is the neatest part of the whole
performance, and is the most
maddening to the bull. Very
quickly two other pairs of bauder
illos are thrust in his neck, and
the Bull makes every endeavor, to
shake them off. One of these men
had the nerve to sit on a stool
and allow the bull to rush upon
him, jumping up just in time to
escape his horns, but placing as
he did so, the bauderillos in the
bull's neck. The capedors again
ply the bull with their capes and
tire him out. He is not yet seri
ously injured.
"The bugle announces ihe final
stage of the fight. The matador
comes forth with a piece of red
cloth ou a stick in his left hand
and a sword in his right hand. Hal
allows the bull to gore at the
cloth several times, and finally
when the bull is standing still,
he rushes in and thrusts the
sword between the shoulders of
the bull. They become so expert
at this that often they bury the
sword to the hilt, and leave it. IE
it is a well aimed stroke, it strikes
the bull's heart and he falls im
mediately. With one especially
ferocious bull, the matador could
not jump away in time and the
bull's horn caught him under his
jaw and hurled him into the air.
The man was rescued, but is not
expected to live. There is no es
cape for the bull, however, anoth
er matador steps up and. kills him.
After the fall of each bull, the
blue-jackets would jump into the
ring to pull the bauderillos out of
his neck to take them away as
souvenirs". In one case the bull
rose up again, whereupon there
was a wild scampering of blue-;
jackets. The bull's horns are now
lashed to a small drag and 'tour
spirited horses are brought iu
and hooked up to the drag. At a
word from the driver, the horses
go out at a gallop, making a quick
exit for the bull. The spectators
cheer and toreadors walk around
the ring, acknowledging the ap
plause, and picking up the money
aud other presents which the ex
cited people give them. The
bugle announces the entrance of
the next bull, and the same scene
is enacted.
