What will the Roosevelt Rep
ublicans in this State do? A
meeting was held last Saturday
at Greensboro of several follow
ers of Roosevelt from different
parts of the State, at which they
decided to hold a State conven
tion at Greensboro on the 3rd day
of September (the day before the
regular Republican State conven
tion is held at Charlotte) to be
composed of delegates pledged
to support Roosevelt and the plat
form of the new Progressive par
ty. A formal call for the conven
tion has been issued urging the
friends of Roosevelt and the new
party to organize m every county
and send delegates to the conven
tion.
Although this action was deci
ded upon by a majority of those
present at the Greensboro meet
ing last Saturday, yet there were
some who opposed it and favored
the plan of capturing theRepub
lican convention at Charlotte,
and the latter is said to be the
plan of Marion Butler. It will be
remembered that Butler wanted
to execute such a plan in 1892 and
capture the Democratic conven
tion that year with his Populists ,
but he signally failed.
Most of the leaders in the
Greensboro meeting rere Demo
cratic deserters, men who had
formerly been Democrats and
abandoned their old party, some
of them not very long ago. The
self-appointed chairman and sec
retary of the executive commit
C tee calling this Roosevelt State
convention were former Demo
. 4 9 il 1 1
era is. conspicuous in mat mce i
ing was our esteemed old friend,
Major William A- Guthrie, of
Durham, who has been promi
nent in every party Republican,
Democratic and Populist that
has existed in this State since the
war, and it was quite natural
. that he should join this new Pro
gressive party.
OUR next Governor will open
his campaign on Friday of this
week by making a speech at
Laurinburg, where he and Gov.
Aycock opened the campaign for
white supremacy in 1898. We
predict that he will make one of
the most brilliant campaigns ever
made in this State, and that he
will do much to harmonize the
Democrats, who now seem to
think more of tho senatorial cam
paign than of anything else.
Unfortunately most of the
speeches that have thus far been
made in this campaign have been
made by the senatorial candi
dates or their canvassers. Sev
eral prominent Democrats have
been going over the State mak
ing speeches for their respective
favorites for senator and thus
creating a more bitter feeling
among the friends of the sever
al aspirants, which is hardly cal
culated to unite the party for the
fight against the common enemy,
the Republican party.
What the party needs most is
a canvass by our prominent
speakers for and in the interest
-of the party and its candidates
already nominated,' urging har
mony and united action. If cer
tain Democrats would unite and
exhibit as much zeal for the suc
cess of their party as they are
now exhibiting for their respect
ive senatorial favorites our ma
jority next November would be
as large as it was for Aycock in
1900.
The election of Wilson and
Marshall becomes more assured
every day, and is as certain as
any future event can well be. The
only doubt now is, which will get
the larger vote.Taft or Roosevelt.
The adherents of each claim that
their favorite will be in the lead,
but of course that does not con
cern the Democrats, for they do
not care whether Taf t or Roose
velt leads the other. All they
care for is the defeat of both
Taf t and Roosevelt, and the elec
tion of Gov. Wilson.
The idea of Roosevelt receiv
ing the electoral vote of this
State is too absurd to be serious
ly considered. Wilson will carry
this State by a majority of near
ly 50,000 over both Taf t and
Roosevelt combined. Of course
no sane man thinks that Roose
velt will carry this State, although
he may receive more votes than
Taf t

with kindly commendation The
Record's editorial of last week !
rplativA to Riihsrrilvra RtnTmintr.
their paper because of a differ
ence of opinion on some one sub
ject, added some very strong and
sensible words on the same sub
ject, from which we copy the fol
lowing extract:
"The men who "stop the pa
per" or who discontinue adver
tising because they disagree with
the paper, do the very thing to
prevent what most men declare
they want a paper which will
speak out, or "hew to the line,
let the chips fall where they will "
We have seen men make just
such demands as that, and the
very time the editor spoke out,
they withdrew their support of
the paper. That is intended as a
punishment for an editor, and
whe the withdrawal amounts
to much it is rather calculated to
make the editor "take water"
when he would otherwise speak
out. We know a business man
who once withdrew $1,150 in bus
iness from a paper, which was
the only daily in his city. The
editor could not publish his pa
per without the support of the
business men, and after several
had withdrawn subscriptions and
advertising for various reasons,
the paper suspended. The town
needed a paper, and the very
men who killed one when they
had it tried to induce other news
paper men to start one. They
were afraid of a field in which" a
good paper had already gone
down, and it was years before
the town could get another pa
per. "When a man seizes the phone
and discontinues his paper 'or ad
vertising, he never stops to think
that his motive is vengeance. He
means to punish. He means to
make the publisher feel it by
taking business away from him.
That is all wrong, of course, but
people will do it.
"Unfortunately people who
want an outspoken paper approve
one of that kind only as long as
they agree with it. When it is
not for their man or their meas
ure, they use the big stick. Above
all others, business men should
lend their encouragement to
their newspapers instead of in
timidating them. Major London
stack to his guns, but many an
editor has been made weak-kneed
or gotten cold feet for fear of
losing patronage. ' '
Exhibits by Southern Railway.
Washington, D. C., August
20. The advantages and oppor
tunities which the Southeastern
states offer to industrious home
seekers will be strikingly display
ed during the next few months
at fairs and expositions in Iowa,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois,
Indiana. Ohio, and New York
which last year had an aggre
gate attendance of over two mil
lion people ana at the great an
nual Canadian Exposition at
Toronto, running over two weeks
with an average daily attendance
above 100,000, by exhibits which
will be made by the Southern
Railway System.
Exhibits will be made at more
than twenty-five fairs in the
states named, each one of which
has been selected with a view to
its character, attendance, and
probable interest in locations in
the South east on the part of the
people attending. Four sets of
exhibits have been prepared.
Each set will be shown at from
six to nine airierent iairs cover
ing a wide stretch of country.- A
special exhibit will be sent to the
Toronto exposition. The exhibits
will consist of fresh fruits, cot
ton, tobacco, potatoes and truck
crops and colored pictures show
ing farm and orchard scenes will
be displayed. Representatives of
the Land and Industrial Depart
ment of the Southern system will
be with each exhibit. Attractive
literature giving full information
about the Southeast has been
prepared especially for these
fairs and a set of fine Southern
views will be distributed as
souvenirs.
Bv these exhibits the Southern
Railway will reach a large num
ber of farmers of just the type
that is wanted in the Southeast
and it is going to the heavy ex-
Eensa involved in making the ex
ibits for the purpose of attract
ing such settlers to the country
along its lines.
Murdered While Gambling.
Lumberton, Aug. 19. While a
number of negroes were engaged
playing cards at Pembroke one
mile west of here, Saturday
about noon, a dispute arose which
was ended when one of them
shot and instantly killed anoth
er. One of the party charged
with the crime was brought here
and placed in jail Saturday
night.
Wadesboro Messenger: Mor
ven was visited by a severe elec
trical storm yesterday afternoon,
during which a telephone pole
near the home of Mr. W. F. Mc
Queen was struck, severely shock
ing Mr. McQueen. The residence

but not much damaged.

Damage by Mad Dogs.
From the N. C. Health Bulletin,
The number of neoole aDDiy-
ing to the State Laboratory of
Hygiene for treatment for bites
from mad dogs has increased to
1 M I 1 I
nearly iwo nunarea a year
What is reallv needed is a
strict state-wide dog law requir
ing the licensing and muzzling
of all dogs. This would in a few
years stamp out one of the most
terrible diseases known to man.
The money loss suffered in
this state from rabid dogs alone
can not be estimated. Scarcely a
week goes by that does not bring
its reports of horses, cows, mul
es, and other domestic stock
that have been bitten by mad
dogs. These animals usually suc
cumb to rabies or hydrophobia,
as it is more virulent in the low
er animals than in man. The on
ly law now on the statute books
regarding mad dogs is one re
quiring all mad dogs or other
dogs bitten by' mad dogs to be
killed under penalty of $50. But
even this is in many places a
dead letter law.
In many parts of the state
sheep raising would be a profit
able industry were it not for the
stray cur. In nearly the entire
state hunting would be a pastime
worth while were it not for this
same unmuzzled, unlicensed,
stray cur that makes his daily
and nightly raids on our game.
Eliminate such dogs ana there
will be more game to hunt. How
much longer will we continue to
think more of worthless curs
found around negro cabins than
we do of the welfare, safety and
prosperity of our most substan
tial citizens, or the future fertil
ity of our soil? Strict muzzling,
making the owners responsible
for all damage the dogs do, levy
ing a reasonable license tax on
all dogs, and devoting these tax
receipts to the Lab:ratory for
the treatment of people bitten
would in a very short time stamp
out hydrophobia, as is now the
case of England, Germany, and
Australia. It would permit the
raising of sheep all over the
state, and during the hunting
season there would be game to
hunt
Express Messenger Arrested.
Special to the News and Observer.
Asheville, Aug. 19. Rumors
on the streets of Asheville today
were to the effect that E. F
Carr, the express messenger who
was jailed late Saturday night
on the charge of robbing the ex
press car,' had made a written
confession and had given it to
officials of the Southern Express
company. Carr refuses to talk
on the subject at all, and the ex
press officials are equally silent,
it being understood that there is
another man implicated, and that
they will not talk for fear of put
ling him on his guard.
Carr was arrested lat Satur
day night, although he had been
virtually under arrest ever since
he left his run last Thursday
night, after telling a thrilling
story of a masked bandit, who,
he claimed, boarded the train
between- Asheville and Bilt
more, shoved a pistol into his
face, and, after robbing him of a
package of money, forced him to
get into' a chest and then latched
the chest.
As soon as Carr made known
the facts of the alleged robbery.
a special of the Southern Rail
way took charge of him, and
stayed with him day and night,
keeping him under surveillance
until Saturday night when Carr
was placed in jail.
Railroad Casualties.
Washington, Aug 16. Rail
road accidents and the casualties

jured.
In train accidents, 267 persons

jured, an increase of 121 killed
and . 1,555 injured as compared
with the corresponding quarter
of 1911. v
Of the 2,383 fatalities, 1, 116
were suffered by trespassers;

Cat in Mul Bag.
Spencer. Aug. 19. One of the
United States mail carriers in
East Spencer found a live cat in
a mail box Saturday afternoon.
The animal had been placed there
by some unknown person and at
tracted attention by making a
noise. It is said the department
may take a hand in the matter
and bring the party to trial for
tampering with a mail box.
More Legible Writing.
Denver, Col., Aug. 19. Re
formation in the handwriting of
physicians and pharmacists will
be urged before the sixtieth an
nual convention of the American
pharmaceutical association which
opened here today. A resolution
suggesting legislation as a means
of securing legible writing and
recording of prescriptions will be
introduced.

My cousin, Bettj Archibald, is scat
ter brained. As 1 was about to leave
on the 5:50 train to spend the week
end at her cottage by the sea she sent
me this telegram:
Vic will be at station at 8:15. Bring her
down.
I knew no more who Vic was thai
the contents of a Hottentot newspaper.
What should I do go to the station
and trust to luck? That was all J
could do, and that I did.
There was the usual rush to get
aboard that one finds on the last days'
of the week at trains going to seejkid
resorts. There were a dozen people
ahead of me at the ticket office, among
them a pretty girl to whom the agent
gave a ticket to Manasquan, which
was my station. Of course I took note
of her and hoped she might turn out
to be Vic, but there was only the rea
son of her destination. 1 walked about
for ten minutes before, the train start
ed, observing 1 every one who seemed to
be looking for some one. All I could
see were a youngster or eignteea who
waited at the gate till the starring bell
rang and a man with a dog, who leaned
against a post
As the tram .rolled off 1 enterea a
car,- and there sat the gm wun tne
Manasquan ticket. I stared at her.
and, . after looking at , me for a mo
ment, she dropped her eyes. Beside
her on the seat, was a suit case, which
I noticed was marked Y. T. That set
tied it She must be Vic. Instead of
approaching her and asking her If she
was the girl I looked for I concluded
to gain the Information on the detec
tire plan. It would be interesting to
discover her Identity by following the
clew given me on her suit case. It
would be more interesting to know her,
she not knowing me. It would be
downright fun to take her to my
hostess, chaff Bet ' for her failure to
give me proper Information, then tell
them both that by my Ingenuity I bad
after all, been enabled to do all that
bad been required of me. Raising my
hat, I said to her:
-Pardon me. but I think we are go
ing to the same station, and, arrived
there, we will be entertained at the
same house.
"Year she replied, with a smile.
Ton are going to Manasquan, I be
lieve?"
-1 am."
-Ana yon win be the guest or my
cousin?"
She put the suit case on the floor.
and I sat down beside her.
'Who Is your cousin?"
'I have thought that it would be en
tertaining to have you see If by ques
tioning me you can find out who I am
and certain orders I have received re
specting you." '
That would serve to while away
the time we shaU spend on the train.'
"Will you begin?"
"Let me see. You are Harold Bliss?
-No."
"Not Rose Dutton'a fiance?"
"No. I wish I were any one's
fiance."
"I give it up."
"Can't you guess my orders?" .
"No."
"I am directed to be your escort."
"You don't mean it."
"Yes; I was telegraphed to meet you
at the station to escort you to Manas
quan and thence to"
"Where?"
"To tell you would spoil all. the fun.
"And." she said, after a little
thought, "to tell you where I'm going
would spoil all the fun too."
"It certainly would. The person
from whom I received my orders is
very careless and gave no clew by
which to recognize you. Nevertheless
I have secured a clew. Do you like
to read detective stories?" .
"I dote on them."
"Well, we are enacting a little de
tective story. When we get t the nd
of oar 1ourney-we shall have the de
nouement-"
"I dare say it will all be very clever
How did you happen to think of such
a plan?"
"Manasquan!" shouted a trainman.
I picked up her suit case and left
the car with her. I was about to hand
her down the step when a gentleman
put his own hand In ahead of me. H
stared at me ominously. The lady
said:
"Mack, this gentleman has enter
tained me delightfully on the train.
He knows me, but I don't know him
He savs he was ordered to escort me
home."
I didn't like this feature of the af
fair at all.
'Come. Ginnfe; the carriage Is wait
Ine" said the vountr man. casting a
suspicious glance at me.
"Heavens': Gtonie!" I bad , bhin
dered.
"Is not your first name Victoria T
Oh, no; it's Virginia!"
I got very red in the face and stood
mute. f
"The denouement is different." said
the elrl. "from what the story lndi
cates. I admire such endings."
She smiled back at me with dancing
eves as she left with the man whom
instinct told me was her fiance,
When I reached the Archibald cot
tage the first .thing Bet said to dm
was:
"Where's Vic?"
"Who the dickens is Vic?' I asketJ
. angrily.
"My poodle. Thomas was to hare
her at the station for you. Didn't yop
see him?"
"Yes. I saw him," I growled.

didn't know him. The next time yo
make, a request please be more ex
