Where, oh, where, is 'that "ed ucational campaign?" Wireless telegraphy is all right, except it can't keep a secret. The Democratic' boys who want iob3 are rackincr : their' grips for Raleigh. Did "our great educational Governor" exhaust himself in the prospectus? ! Iu a few more days it will be said of several prominent Demo crats that "they also ran." ; It now looks like the Senator would be Overman and . that Mr, Craig would be UndermanJ ; Just eight prominent j Demo crats have poles- in their hands tryi.lg to knock that . Senatorial plum. ' j . ; The Delaware legislaturs is now in session and is confronted with the same old question of "Addicks or nobody." ! ' j If the allied creditors of Vene zuela do not soon raise that block ade Uncle Sam may conclude to raise them some. J j Nearly all the Democratic news papers of the State have remarked that there were more place hunt era in Raleigh than members of the legislature. No doubt they all did good- wrk for the party and feel that they have a divine right to a job, and if the present General Assembly has as great a genius for creating places as its predecessor they may all be accom modated. Of course the taxpayer footing the bills.' r ; -''-.: It is noted in Raleigh dispatches that all of the six candidates for the United States Senatorship expect to be elected without serious op position and in addition there are several dark horBes each of . whom feels confident of being detailed to fill that job. Truly, the most san guine creature alive is your North Carolina Democratic aspirant , for Senatorial honors. As a veritable, first class rainbow chaser your Un cle "Jim Jones" is not in it a lit tle bit The Raleigh Post is comment ing upon what it calls extrava gance iof the National Govern ment is endeavoring to divert the attention of the people of North Carolina from the recklessness and extravagance of the Demo cratic machine in this State. Bonds will have to be issued to pay for their extravagance. Veriiy Democratic success is a forerun ner of big bond issues, be it State or National, and we think the Post would do well to clean up its own house, and get matters straight at home before branching out into the wide-wide world. The'Caucasian. ' - We don't hear anything since the election about Democratic love for i the old Confederate soldier, nor of its unswerving, undying devotion to the cause of educa , tion; nor a word about that "cam paign of education" in which there were so many spell-binders orat ing, and pawing the air, a fe w weeks before election all froth and feathers. There was about as much sincerity in it all as there was in their mouthings abou "honest elections." Will the peo- pie never learn that the class of leaders the Democracy.- of this State have in control of the party, means nothing by their, profes sions and promises, but to carry elections fair or foul. Hickory Press In another coloumn we publish a statement of the Anti-Saloon League covering the legislation that that organization proposes to : ask at the hands of the sitting legislature. We mnst confess that :it presents very little of the aspect of genuine anti-liquor agitation. To us it looks more like a bargain with the State Democratic ma chine and a compromise with the liquor dealers of the large tovrna than a measure calculated to pro- mote sobriety in town or vuutry. The provision for "local option elections is not a new future. There has not been1 a time for years that town, township or coun try'could;" not appeal to the popu lar will through the ballofbnce in two years if they desired. Why force a condition on the country and small villages that the larger towns and cities are allowed to ac cept or reject aT will ? Why- all the discrimination in favor of the towns and against the country? The simple fact of the presence of the iolice in the town does not af feet the question in morals or in principle and we should think that these and not mere expedience should play the major part in a movement in which the churches and the friends of prohibition are the chief actors. If it is right to make and sell liquor anywhere it is just as right to do it in the coun try as in the town, and if obliga tory -upon the churcjh and the anti liquor league to fight it in jhe country it is no less their duty to fight it in the towns. '- v GOOD ROADS FOR HAYWOOD. It seems highly f probable that Haywood county is to have a new road law. Since Hon. Geo. H. Smathers had passed the best road law'the county ever had each succeeding legislature has j been called upon to pass! a new one and each succeeding jlaw gives , less satisfaction than the one it dis placed and each one has ended the legislative career of the man who had1 it passed, rue people are - lit! favor of good roads but somehow' they cannot agree! as to the best means of getting them. Some would bond the county and let future generations pay the debt, some would taxi the people and pay for them straight while others would work the people and make them the old way. AThe new law which Representa tive Kinsland is expected to evolve will probably provide for the early construction of well graded mac adamized roads penetrating every section of the county from Waynesville and for a tax levy sufficient to pay for the work within two or three years.. PRINCIPLES AND SPOILS. The Asheville Daily Citizen, of last Monday,' just as it was recov ering from a mortal lambasting a the hands of its morning rival,' de livered itself of a vicious harangue rtKelSuTe-raiBa "Exists (Only for Pie," it depicts ePublican; Party of this see- tion as utterly yoid of party prin ciple, as "a poor concern," .and as being actuated solely by the hope of political patronage. " Ihe Republican party of the South, as of the nation, stands for what is best in) morals, for what is soundest in economics, and , for what is safest, wisest and most pa triotic in administration. In this State it comprises the major part ot the white people of the western part of the State, and many of the best people of the East, and is un excelled in- intelligence and rja triotism. Of this great body, not one in every, hundred has ever held St sought an office or ever ex pects to seek one, and those who have sought and held official sta tions have, with few exceptions, honored the public service. They are Republicans because they are conscious of the rectitude of their party principles. But if these foul allegations were true, it does not lie in the mouth of this machine organ to mention them, for it is estopped by the ravenous greed and criminal con duct of red-shirt Democracy in its struggles for the spoils of public office. It has brushed all princi ple aside and made might the sole condition of party victory. , This arrogant, heartless, and in tolerable political oligarchy (and we do not comprise in this inclu sion the honest, patriotic and con servative Democrats of the State) is so consumed of lust for office, greed for gain, and use of power that it does not scruple to commit any crime against the ballot that it may sate its hunger for the spoils of office. Under the hypocritical cant and specious plea of "white suprema cy tney nave, m many instances, cruelly and mercilessly treated colored voters in order that Dem ocrats might, by force, suc ceed - Republicans. The hot lowness and insincerity of these crimes in tne name of "white su premacy" are shown in the fact hat many of their promoters have ately backed a negro, Samuel II. Vick, for postmaster of the town of Wilson. To makesure their way to the public offices of the State, they organized lawless bands of red- shirts and sent them howling and shooting over the State in order to terrorize the, people. For a seat at the public vie counter they have hissed public J stand, egged suppress free speech. ', For salaries of office and seats of power they have intimidated voters, shifted and destroyed bal lots, and falsified election returns. Foiled in all their attempts to defeat the popular will they have shamelessly disfranchised the poor and illiterate voters of the State solely that.their occupancy of pub-; 1 . lie office might not be interrupted, It is not pleasant to pass these crimes m review . or to depict such conditions, nor is it the pol icy of this paper to revive such memories, but when this organ of an oppressive party machine, that never drew a disinterested patriot ic breath, accuses the Republican party of being actuated by plun der instead of principle it invites an examination of its own record on the charge it imputes to others. , Let" this machine purge itself of the crimes of omission' and commission which it has com mitted in prosecution of its policy of getting office by force and might, regardless of the public will, some of which crimes are so shameless and rank that they area lasting disgrace upon the State.

Formal notices of contest were filed today with the secretary of state against ev ery -.Democratic member of the house and senate of the fourteenth gcuciai aooemuiy wuose seat nad not previously been contested. In each case the allegations are of fraud and intimidation at the polls, miscounts of the ballots and allowing men to vote who were not legal voters.

NEAR ARDEN. Skyland, N. C.Jan. 7 A man named Pfessjey' died near Arden early yesterday morning from hav ing a tub fall on his head while in the bottom of a seventy-foot well, at the residence of Henry Lance. He survived the injury only about 12 hours. The tub) which was used in cleaning out the well, crushed his head. I Do Not Be Afraid i i . to look the facts squarely in the face. That cough, racking an persistent, accompanied, by tight ness in the chest .and spitting of sticky mucus, is a sign of con sumption. Common sense dic tates the use of Allen's Lung .balsam, an honest remedy,, since it contains no opium; an efficient remedy, since it heals the irrifated, inflamed throat and lungs, and so prevents a deep-seated cold from running, into incurable forms of consumption. I ; Col F. A. Olds, writing from Ealeigh to the Charlotte Observer says: "Not a few' people are will ing to give odds that Overman wins in the senatorial race. One of them was asked the reason for this belief. He said in reply that Overman was alike acceptable to all factions in the party and that his strength is shown by the fact that he is the second choice of practically everybody. He went yu W say that while Overman might not be chosen n the first ballot it looked like he would very soon afterwards." I Heads Should Never Ache. Never endure this trouble.
