Tuursday, October 1-1 THE WHITE PLUME OF DEMOC RACY, Our editorial last week com. mending Governor Kitchin for voting according to his judgment and conscience in the Governors meeting, although all the other 24 Governors voted the other v. ay, and making the point that this vote estopped his friends from critising Senator Simmons for voting according to his judg ment and conscience against roc iprocity, when all but three other Democratic Senators voted for it, has met with much favor from the press of the State. Only one paper, our home neighbor, takes issue with our view, contending that the cases are not analogous and that those who are disposed to continue to attack the Demo cracy of Senator Simmons are not estopped. We have not space at this time to discuss the abstract question as to the right and wrong of either vote. But while we ap prove the action of both in vot ing according to their judgment and conscience, we could make out a stronger case against Gov ernor Kitchin's vote against tak ing action to guard the rights of theStates from Federal encroach ments than anybody has ever made against Sanator Simmons' votes against the two famous Republican bills in Congress. Eleven-twelfths of the Demo crats of North Carolina endorse the eleven out of the twelve Democrats in Congress from this State, Senator Simmons being one of the eleven, who voted against the amendment to the Payne-Aldrich bill, putting lum ber on the free list. And while a larger proportion was for the Taft Reciprocity bill when it was under consideration, the Demo crats are now few and far between who attack Senator Simmons' judgment or Democ racy or faithfulness to North Carolina in voting against it. Untrue to the Democracy by voting against free lumber be- cause the K'03 Democratic plat- Charlotte Observer that Mr. S. form declared for free lumber! S. McNinch, late candidate for That platform also declared in ! Congress, has just received a favor of reducing all tariffs grad- j new installment of foreign labor ually to a revenue basis and ers for his brickyard. They are putting all trust controlled goods, ; direct from "the New York sugar, steel, coal, etc on the free 1 market," states the Observer, list. No Senator in Congress ( and are "Danes, Swedes, Ger would have given more hearty mans and Poles." We have support or more painstaking lab ' pasted this interesting item in or to a bill on the line of that our scrap book for ready re platform than Senator Simmons. ; ference, if Mr. McNinch makes The Republican Payne-Aldrich denial in his next campaign as he bill was as different from that j did in the last that he imports platform as the . Bible is from j foreign laborers for his own use, Darwinism. It proposed to put : while pleading for high tariff a? lumber, a North Carolina com-: a protection to native laborers, modify, which was already on a ( J m , , Al ' , , . . and keep the old or put higher' duties on everything else. The: eleven North Carolinians voted against that proposition j were eleven times truer to the : 1908 Democratic platform than the one who voted fpr it. But aside from all this, has it not come to a pretty pass when any editor questions the Demc- inntr rf TA AT C: O T ii.., , . , every life and death grapple with yZTJS the tatetul years of 1894 andlSOG i 4-u when the heel of the negro was on the white man's neck, he has been Democracy's captain. He has been the Henry of Navarre of the NorthCarolina Democracy. Has his white plume lost its talismanic effect over the legions that followed it against the hosts of fusionism? The answer at the primaries next year will be in thundering tones, NO, The Asheville Citizen last Sun day contained an announcement that Hon. Locke Craig would a candidate for Governor next year. The people of North Caro lina have long ago made up their minds that they will nominate and elect Mr. Craig Governor in 1912. There has never been any doubt of this since he bade the convention of 1908 "good night" in that eloquent speech accepting defeat and pledging his support to his successful rival. It was one of the best poste-nomination speeches ever made in North Carolina, either by a successful or unsuccessful candidate. The men who had so loyally stood by him in the four-days contest were drawn more closely than ever to their favorite, and the men who had been spending four sleepless nights to defeat him were completely captivated by the mountain giant. Before he g-ot through, supporters and op ponents were standing on their seats, and with one accord the shout went up: We will nomi- N'lh nate you next time." Through- 1 out all the East no other name M0Jbut Craig is mentioned for ' I Governor, and the West will be for him more solidly than in 1CJ0S. Craig is the only one of great leaders of 1S9S and 1900 who have not been called to some reward. The people have already nominated him for the next r.nvornor nrul the convention of 1912 will ratify the nonimation by acclamation. Mr. J. C. Hemphill, editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and Mr. A. E. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia Record and Messrs. Stevens and Woods of Charlotte, have purchased the Charlotte Observer and will take over the management November 1st. Mr. Hemphill will be editor and Mr. Gonzales publisher and manager. Mr. Hemphill was for many years editor of the Char leston News and Courier and for the last two years editor of the Rirhmond Times-Dispatch. He is one of the ablest and brightest editors in the United States, For many years he and Mr. J. P Caldwell were recognized as the two leading editors of the South. They have always been close friends, and we feel sure that Mr. Caldwell, in retirement from broken health, will be glad that the paper he made great has fallen into the hands of so able a friend. All North Carolinians will welcome Hemphill and Gon zales into North Carolina journal ism. We doubt not that Theodore Roosevelt, and Richard Pearson Hobson, will not be long in calling attention to the fact that Italy's strong navy is all that prevented a long and bloody war between Italy and Turkey. Turkey had to submit because she stood no show against her enemy's great battleships. Roosevelt and Hob son have been preaching on every occasion that the best guarantee the United States can make against war is to double and treble its present number of battleships. And the Turko Italian incident is strong con firmation of their position. i j We see from last Saturday's i he Larollett organizers wl, ; xwv, ri;. are One of the head men spent all last branch office with M Jake xt.h c members. An, effort will be made to work up a La Follett i delegation from North Carolina, j It is claimed by these insurgents i that Taft cannot be elected. To this, the Democrats will agree- Neither can La Follett or other Publican. The next ,, r president will be a Democrat, ! Sherrill s Ford Items. Sherrill's Ford, N. C, Oct. 5.

Seven Springs News, Seven Springs, October 0. Dear Mr. Editor: The 7 Springs ire still running on full time The farmers are Catherine? ;n their cotton and corn and their hay crop. Since the recent rains crab grass has got a hump on its self. Plenty of cotton bloom, and if frost stays oil a little while there will be a bump er ci-op yet, but I think it will get nipped in the bud. Well, readers of old rcalibie, The Enterprise, . the army worms haye struck the cotton tields in this section and are playing havoc with the cotton leaves. I think the Lord has sent the worms for a good cause. We have to have something to check us. The people are run ning this world on fast time. The L rd sent plagues on Pharaoh and I guess he will send plagues on us too. The Demon stration Agents can tell us how to farm and of course they can tell us what kind of a trap is best to catch these army worms, and if they can't tell the size ar.d kind of a trap, farewell wife and cotton patch another year. We have plenty of quail. Plenty of rabbits. Some of the boys arc hunting o'possoms. Can't wait till the law goes out. Lookout boys, court is coming. A compliment on a crowd of visitors October the first at Seven Springs, Eight in num ber. There were four boys and four girls. They beat the army worms. They cut up a shoe advertisement, defaced sign boards and ruined my turnip patch, pulled up beets., tore down corn and b?an vines. Lome back boys and pay the damage. If not I will inform the grand jury of your conduct in apple pie order. I treat everybody kind, and would like to be treated likewise.

At one po'nt we saw them cross ing the public road from ne cotton field to another in almost countless numbers.
