A noisy Fourth of July iu Mex ieo may not mean Independence Day. The nomination of Taft was to be the signal for immediate busi ness revival, yet prosperity seems to lag, as if Republican policies bred panics. If there is any truth in that re i port from Atlanta of a deal be tween the Democrats and Tom Watson to throw theelectoral vote to the latter, it had better for all concerned*be reconsidered. You have probably noticed that the republican platform is silent in resard to an income tax. Re publicans like Rockefeller, Harri mau Morgan, et al are opposed to such a tax. It must jar the Sunshine Club to hear the report from the labor leaders that 84,000 men are s ill unemployed in the building: trades. The United Statess Treasury officials if they have not joined the “Let us Alone Society” stiH it ap peals to them strongly as it does to all the republican politicians. Castro sees president’s Roose velt’s bluff and has recalled his Minister to Washington. Let us have Peace, or we may get the bubonic plague. The Trusts idea of what must be the “reasonable profit” prom ised them in the tariff plank of the Republican platform can be easier imagined than paid by the people. The Tin Plate Trust has cut wages 5 per cent, but still contin ues to be protected by the 45 cent tariff which according to Republi can authority wTas expressly de vised to protect the workingmen. 5 The policy of leaving Castro alone to his own devices seems to be all the Administration can think of in lieu of the much talked of big stick, which it is afraid to use. The colored men ot JSew lorK have organized a “Xegro Anti Trust and Tariff Eeform League. In this they seem to have more political sense than the white voters have as far as heard from. Judge Taft says there w ill be no real publicity “in” the campaign, but Treasurer Sheldon says “after” tbe campaign is over. But i Taft, of course, will know' nothing about campaign contributions. The independent straw'board companies have cut the price of strawboard $2 a ton, which is that much less than the Trust price of $22 a ton. Of course the Kepub licans will claim that Teddy did it and Taft will say “me too.” Whatever j*ood can be said for Mr. Taft, and doubtless many estimable qualities should be his due, yet the fact remains that his nomination was brought about by the most flagrant use of officia1 power for partisan ends! Mrs. Taft appears to think her opinion is called for on present political affairs. Brother Bill should advise her to jcopy after those estimable ladies,IMrs. Roose velt and Mrs. Cleveland, who under like circumstances were seen, but not heard too much. Twelve mysterious checks were received by Treasurer Sheldon when he was conferring w ith Taft at Hot Springs, but you will have to wait until “after election” to know the names of the malefactors who thus contributed. Is there an aspirant fora county or legislative office that would run in a primaly and not in the county convention to meet ‘again next month! On this matter, the delegates should be informed. Speak out. The Yew York Stock Market is so entirely in the control of the v Harriman and Rockefeller inter ests that every one else should let it alone. Let the frenzied finan1 ciers fight it out, for with them it is a case of “dog eat dog,” but for others it is dog eat lamb. „ That was a good cartoon in the Philadelphia Record of July 14th, which depicts Roosevelt^ trying to open the Prosperity Safe, of which he has lost the combination. Taft stands near in evident perplexity, and a Hard Times Calendar marked with a cross from the months of January to June. EVERY DEMOCRAT SHOULD VOTE. Those who claim to be Demo crats should vote for Mr. Bryan. JNone of us can have a candidate and platform that suit us in every particular. Mr. Brjan and the platform measure up to the de mands and des'res of a vast ma jority of the Democratic, nearer than any one else. Candidate and platform are both results of individual compromise. Had what is known as the conservative element in the party chosen its candidate and framed the plat form, they would have expected and urged the more advanced ele ment to support their candidates and policies. It is up to them to now practice what they would have preached. Or else four years from now, they may regret it. People have mem ories. They are not disposed to forget friends, bnt it is human nature to take reprisals. Supporting Mr. Bryan and the party will assure them a hearing and a fiiendly one, four years hence; eomething that by no man I L ner nor means will they obtain by hostility. So much for the tender con scieuces, who, in their scare, have have placed the dollar above the man. As a matter of dry fact, the platform is not radical, it~4s made of good, sound, heart Demo cratic timber, and is free from knots aud windshakes. Those who know Mr. Bryan, and his life has been sufficiently open for all to know, it, are confi dent that he will adhere to this platform, that it is not mcielyan instrument to te elected upon and ignored immediately afterwards, as tfas doue by Mr. Roosevelt, whose policies, so highly praised by the recent Republican conven tieu, do not harmonize with its present platform, which was de signed to elect Taft, who is simply and solely Mr. Roosevelt’s crea ture, who will be a rank ingivtte if he does aughtjto offend his creator. Good policy as well as sound principles appeal to all Democrat ical’y inclined, to support Mr. Bryan. THE MILLIONAIRES AND THE.PRESIDENT. That millionaire Cincinnatian who is at the poiut of death, as a result of cheering for thirty minutes for Roosevelt at the Chic ago Convention, should be a warn ing t > the other- J33 millionaires who atteuded the convention to let such strenuous politics as E .osevelt seems to require relig iuusly alone iu the future. This sail ease of overwrought euthusi asm for fhe President raises the serious question: Why did these ‘‘malefactors of great wealth” cheer for the!President? President R osevelt was supposed to be chas ing these rich malefactors to their dens in the lairs of the Octopi, and other predatory corporations, and here we have evidence of collusion or at least, affection between the millionaires and the President even to the point of sacrificing their health if not ^ their lives in his behalf. This devotion is be yond our comprehension. T. T. CHERRY WILL OPEN STORE HERE. T. T. Cherry, formerly a prom inent merchant of Conetop, will open a general merchandise store in the room formerly occupied by Kaufman & Morris, September 1st. Mr. Cherry was also engaged in business at Bethel several yeais ago, and we welcome him to the county seat. Mr. Cherry will anove his family here the latter part of August. They will occupy the Bridgers’ home opposite the Methodist parsonage. THE NEGRO VOTE. What^ Is It Worth and What Will It Do? What is the negro vote worth? The colored population of Illinois i: 1900 was 85,078. Using the census pro portion of one voter to every 4.3 oi the population, it appears tfaere ar< about 20,000 black voters in tha State. On this basis we must reckon with 14,000 black votes in Indiana 23,000 in Ohio, 25,000 in New York 3,500 in Connecticut, and 17,000 i: New Jersey, Maryland has -60,000 col ored votes, but probably they are no' all cast. But there are enough tC count in a close election. Nothing hlas been done by the re publican party to secure this vote since’ the fifteenth amendment wa; adopted. It has been cast, as a matte of course, for republican candidates and the party leaders appear to thinl it will continue to be cast in the same way, automatically. But is it certain the black man wi! always be an automaton on electio: day? He has heard of Brownsville and he will^-hear how he was treat ed at the (Jiicago republican conver. tion in 190§ before election day come: around. What is he thinking of it all What will he do? Will not the repub licans be guilty of carelessness ane neglect if they ignore a possible breach in their fighting line where the colored brothers are stationed' —St. Louis Post-Dispatch. CASTOHIA.

Banker Sheldon of Wall Street, who is t) collect the boodle from the Trusts and Corporations for the Republican Campaign has the bump of innocence largely devel oped. He estimates that he would not know a Trust if lie saw it and as he has ‘never lit ai d a satisfactory definition of the bugaboo,’’ “1 don’t know whether I am con nected with Trusts or not.” The Baa Lam! s that visit. Wall Street will eat this Republican Treasurer if he is as gneu as he tries to have us believe. DOINGS IN THE COUNTY., Messis. Dowdy and Lancaster have purchased ihe undertaking establishment of M J. Levy, of Rocky Mount, and moved tbejsame to their furniture store in the twin county city. John Jordan, who had been con fined t > Rocky Mount lockup since he was captured l y Chief of Police Clark, ot -Battleboro, at Hobgood 10 days ago, was taken to the State Insane Asylum, at Williamsburg, Va., Saturday. He escaped from this institution some time ago. Mr. Jordan is a dangerous man to be at large, having killed at va»i ous intervals two persons and wounded several others. Deputy Sheriff Frank l3aw^ni, Saturday, took Miss Mattie Harrell of Macclesfield, to the insane asy lum at Raleigh. While this young lady is not violeut, it was deemed best to return her to this institu tion. BROUGHT TO PITTMAN HOSPITAL. Julius Thigpen, sou of T. A. Thigpen, of Pitt county, was brought to the Pittman hospital Sunday eveuing in a serious condi tion suffering with appcrdieitK His condition was somewhat better this morning and an operation may be performed iate today. TAKING INVENTORY. Messrs. E. L. Roberson, C. IT Keech and llngh Cobb are taking inventory of the stock iu 1. " M McCabe’s store. They expect tp complete the work iu a few days. TH.itE CHILDREN DIED SUNDAY. The continued hot weather has been severe on children who are ill, three deaths occurring Suuday. The three weeks old baby of W. P. Wbi'lield, of Runnymede, died Saturday evening. A twin baby of this child died two weeks ago, and two days later death summoned the mother. A joung baby of Steven Hoard, superintendent of the Consumers Oil Mills died Sunday morning. Interment was made at Lawrence. Elizabeth Stall, the teu months old child of Mills Stall died Sun day evening at 6 o’t lock. The re mains were taken to Rooeisouviile this morning for interment. HIT BY STRAY BULLET. Miss Sallie Roberson was hit by" a stray bullet Friday evening while standing on the rear porch of the home of E. L.® Roberson in com pany with Mrs. fJ. X. Harrell aud Mrs. A. M. Fairley. The bullet struck Miss Robinson on the !>houhlt r and fell to the floor, hav ing been speut in its coarse before reaching her. Fortunately for Miss Robinson the bullet only bruised the skin. Evidently it was shot from a 32 calibre revolver. Residents of town should be careful in the handlihg of revol vers or guns within thickly se tied neighborhoods, as a st»*ay shot may result fatally. CATS STRANGLE BABIES. The nursery legeud to the eflecl that cats will suck the breath ol sleeping infants and kill them has been proved correct twice within two years by the coroner of A1 i legheny c unty. \ Elsie Ann, one month and th ee weeks old, daughter of John and Alice Thaxtou, of No. 5210 Morn ingside avenue, this city, was the latest victim. The couple two weeks ago saved the life of Arthur, their two year old son, who was resuscitated with difficulty after the parents had found him strangling with the Large black fmii’y c*t lying along side his body sucking in the boy’s breath. In a deposition made by the parents to Deputy Coronea Laid | ley, (they swore the dead child was lb- perfect health when the mother retired last night with the ba>y in her arms. They were awakened about 10.30 o’clock by her gasping. The parents found the black cat lying on the child’s body, with its paws around her neck and its mouMi to that f the child’s drawing its breath from it. John Thaxton wis so enraged that he took Tabby by the legs and threw her out of the window. Returning to bed, the child lay so quiet that they investigated aud found that she was dead. Deputy Laidley had the case of Benneita M. Deln, January 20, 1907, Penn township who-was kil’ed in the same mannor.— Pitts burg C(or. Philadelphia Record.

Clifford L. Anderson, of Georgia, and the Blneairay, commanded by Col. Cormau, United States army. The Blues were concentrated at Dal ton, Ga., and nloved on the Browns, who were holding the lines ap proaching Chattanooga, along Missionary Eidge. The troops were reviewed Tues day by Secretary of War Wright and Mai'ir General Bell. In letters sent here by members of the Guards, they state that Wilson Bell and Laurence Morris, are members of the J^vmy baud, composed of 125 pieces, which renders c mcerts each evening. Messrs.
