An Unfair Criticism
Some of the newspapers that are fa
voring other senatorial candidates are
now engaged In abusing Mr. Craig and
doing all they can to discredit his Joint
discussions with Mr. Prit. hard.
This, we submit, is neither fair to Mr.
Craig personally nor creditable to the
t-arty he represents. To tell the truth
about the debate, or fairly criticise It.
Is always in order, but to out-Radical
the Radical papers in abuse of Mr.
Craig and his honest effort to uphold
Democratic principles, simply because
he Is a candidate, is neither telling the
truth nor serving the party. Nor, in
the end, will such a policy help those
candidates that it is intended to help.
Mr. Craig accepted .nator Pritch
ard's challenge as a Democrat, and not
ss a senatorial i-andidatr. During the
progress of the canvass he has spoken
net in his own behalf, but has preached
with all his power the Democratic faith
and defended Democratic policies. In
doing this, he may have made few votes
for himself, but he has aroused the
Democracy, armed it with arguments
and made it put on its fighting clothes.
It was t work that needed being doi.e
and this joint canvass has done it as
nothing els- could have done it. and in
the election returns its Influence will be
felt mightily for the Democracy.
In this campaign Mr. Craig has ac
quitted himself well, and has served his
party valiantly. It is hardly fair,
therefore, that those in his own party
should, even for selfish purposes, turn
th ir guns upon him.
False Charges Revamped
The Citizen is in receipt of a com
munication signed by F. H. Whitaker,
the Hillite" chairman at Greensboro,
netting forth reasons why Judge Clark
should not be elected chief justice of
the Supreme court of North Carolina.
They are the same old reasons Here
is he f.rst one:
"He is not a Democrat, and was
against us during the Fusion reg:me."
Against US."
Whom does Mr. Whitaker mean by
rs?
- The Democrats? Then he has no
right to use the word, for neither is
Mr. Whitaker nor those backing him
and his candidate (Hill) Democrats.
They are either Republicans or Re
publican allies.
The rest of the Whitaker article is
simply a cold rehash of the Wilson U t
ter printed in these columns several
months ago and refuted by Judge Clark
and his friends immediately and to the
satisfaction of the Democratic party
which afterwards nominated him with
out protest or oppostion.
Hence we see no reason for giving
space to Mr. Whitaker s revamp of
false charges and misleading statfc
r e:its.
Control of the Next House
That the Republicans have on hand
an exceedingly difficult job in their
attempt to control the next House will
readily appear in an analysis of the
situation.
To begin with, of the 3S6 members
that will be in the new House, thirteen
states of the South, not counting
Maryland. West Virginia, or Delaware,
elect very nearly one-third. Or these,
all except ten districts at the outside
are practically certain to be Demo
cratic. The Democrats also have a
number of certain districts in the large
cities of the country. New York, Chi
cago and Boston, regardless of the is
sues. This leaves only a small margin
of extra districts necessary for suc
cess. It may be seen, therefore, how a dis
turbance -within the Republican ranks
In any large state may endanger that
party's control of the House. For ex
ample, an incident of the Henderson
withdrawal variety may afTect the
situation seriously. Also If there were
a repetition this year in Pennsylvania
alone of the conditions of four years
ago. or a repetition in New York of
the conditions which accompanied th?
Folger campaign of 1SS2. enough dis
tricts would probably drop out, even if
the Republicans were strong and har
monious everywhere else, to throw the
House of Representatives to the oppos
ition. Briefly, the solid South, the large
cities and a good sized accident o
two would give the House to the Dem
ocrats in this election, without any
general uprising of the public, and
quite irrespective of the apportion
ment which is so favorable to the Re
publicans.
The South will be solid alright, and
the "Independent" movement in this
section will only serve to prove its sol
idity. It should be noted that the
South is growing more solidly Demo
cratic all the time, says the New
York Post's Washington correspond
ent, and that the cities of the North
are increasing in their relative pro
portion of the total population. "Of a'l
the hopeless chases, the endeavor to
build up a Republican party in the
South has proved most fruitless. One
expedient after another has been tried,
much like a chronic invalid s sparer
among patent medicines."
Discussing the same question the
Washington correspondent of the In
dianapolis News one of the best in
formed men at the national capital
writes:
It was predicted that the elimination
of the colored man from the ballot,
removing' the much-em phasixed threat
of "negro supremacy," would result
In a division of the white vote of the
South, just as in the days before the
war. when Whiff and Democrat divid
ed Southern states only less erenly
than those of the North. But the elim
ination of the negro has not worked
that way as yet.
The State of A'labama has registered
fewer than 3,000 negroes this year, a
smaller number of colored men than
vote In Massachusetts, and yet Ala
bama was never more "unanimous"
for the dominant Democracy than it Is
now. Oscar W. Underwood, who rep
resents in Congress "the Pittsburg of
the South." received at the first pri
maries a vote in excess of a majority
of the registered vote of the district.
In state after state the eliminaion of
the negro has been the signal for a
revel of the dominant party in undis
puted power.
With the South solid and a growing
Democratic vote In the large citiea of
the North, there remained nothing to
complete Republican discomfiture In
regard to the House except a few ac
cidents and they, too, have com
menced happening.
President Roosevelt himself led off
with an anti-trust speech which
brought down on him the denunciation
of the New- York Sun and the other
trust papers. It ts true that the Pres
ident quickly tried to mend the break
hy another Presidential speech on
trusts which, though ii did not take
back anything, did seem to magnify
the difficulties in the way of dealing
with them, and to suggest a rather
needless caution. In still anothrr
speech, recently delivered at Cincin
nati, he still further apologized, divid
ing trusts into two classes good and
bad.
Then there was that unfortunate
'tariff speech at Logansport the other
lay, and there is no telling what fur-U;-
dainage he would have done to
his i . rty had not his Western trip
been interrupted by a lame leg.
But the worst accident of all, so far
was of course Speaker Henderson's
withdrawal. The Republicans received
such a severe shock from it tha' they
have not quit dodging yet. it has
broken the solid front that is absolu cly
necessary for them to present if they
are to win out in the contest for tha
House this year, and it promises to
have an even still more important
bearing on the Presidential contest in
1904.
The Republican party, then, must be
in overwhelming preponderance in the
North if it is to carry the House of
Representatives. On ordinary prin
ciples of common fractions this would
mean that the Republicans wo.ild
have to carry three-fourths of th
North to win the national Ho ;se.
and, roughly, this is about the situa
tion. The border States, Maryland.
West Virginia and Delaware, promise
to continue good debatable ground, al
though there has been since 1896, little
appreciable gain in the Republican
strength there.
It is a remarkable fact that the
Republicans have rarely carried the
House of Representatives except on
the momentum of the Presidential bal
lot. Twenty-eight years ago, as th
carpet-bag movement was declining.
the country was awakened, after six
teen years of Republican control of
the House, by the election of a House
in which the Democrats numbered 1y2.
against 110 Republicans. This was i:.
the latter half of the second Grant ad
ministration. The Democrats held the
House through all of the Hayes ad
ministration; they lost it by a narrow
vote in Presidential campaign which
elected Garfield, and again recovered
it in 1SS2 just twenty years ago un
der circumstances so like those which
now prevail in many ways as to sug
gest much doubt as to Republican suc
cess now. The country was prosperous
but the House then elected showed
only I JO Republicans, as against 204
Democi at.
The next off-year election came in
the Cleveland administration, and the
Democrats were again succeseful.
Four years later in 1890 the Demo
crats carried the country with a
sweep, having a majority even of th?
northern districts. They elected the
next Congress on the Presidential bal
lot, but have not since been successful
Unless there is some iHaas.' in its
organization, the success of the Dem
ocrat v is likely to grow more frequent.
Cerwi:ily the prospects for it thi
year appear unusually bright.
Accidents on Railroads
The Inter-State Commerce Commis
sion reports that in 1893 when auto
matic car-couplers began to be used
11,000 railroad employes were annually
killed or wounded in coupling cars. Now
by reason of the use of automatic coup
lers they report that the number oi
killed and wounded annually from that
cause is under 3000 a year, a saving of
8000 killed and wounded annually,
though there are one-fourth more rail
road employes than in 1S93. The com
mission hopes there will be a total ces
sation of such losses when the law is
enforced. They report that the firs:
decisions to enforce it were made by
the North Carolina Supreme court in
the Greenlee and Troxler cases and
that other courts are following those
decisions. Judge Clark wrote those de
cisions which have aided to save the
lives and limbs of so many thousands
of railroad employes and it Is precisely
because he did write them that the
railroad papers have been abusing him.
Bright Comet Perrlne
From the New York Herald.
Increasing in brilliancy, the new com
et discovered by Professor Perrine at
the Lick observatory on September 1,
has now become clearly visible to the
naked eye. Professor Campbell in a dis
patch from San Jose states that it was
very close to the second magnitude
star Alpha Cassiopea on Sunday, while
last night it was two degrees south of
the star Beta Cassiopea. Though it will
today enter on the Milky Way. and
hence will not be so easily detected. It
will not become invisible. But on October
6. Professor Campbell points out, the
new comet will be three degrees north
of the star Alpha, in the constellation of
Cygnus, and will then be two or three
times as bright.
As it Is a considerable time since so
bright a comet has been visible in our
northern heavens, much interest attach
es to the new comet. By running an
Imaginary line from the star Epsilon. In
the constellation of the Plough, to the
role star ana continuing the line an
equal distance beyond the Pole star you
will bring the eye very near to the star
in Cassiopea which the new comet has
Just approached.

V m the towei TherG is no one spot in all Western
N-rth Carolina where tr- vivid an impression ran he
oLfaiued of he mountains am' walleys of this wonderful
region. The dome of Craggy n Ioibl in the east, tl..
upper valley of the French . Broad rivet iD the peak of
Pisgah at the south ; then cornea the long suosBion of
mountains, composing the Balnam, Newfound, ana Gr-t
Smoky ranges, guarding the western side of the widfe j
valley, while far in the north are the lofty summits which
separate this State from Tennessee.
Over 15,000 People
have visited the Park during the past season and carried J
away with them lasting impressions of this broad pana- y
rama. Although the summer has passed, the cars will
continue to make regular trips as long as the weather per- M
mite, and the keen air of autumn and early winter admits H,
of greater enjoyment on the tops of the mountains than M
was possible under the summer sun. ''i
Another feature is the overflowing tJ
Aganippe Spring
which rises from a rocky ledge near the top of Sunset, fj
above every possible source of contamination. The analy-
sis of the water proves it to be equal to the famous Poland fi
Spring and it is especially, recommended by physicians for v
its health-giving qualities. It has been supplied to many
families for the past year and has been of the greatest ben-
efit to invalids and convalescents 1 1

There are
I Walks and
m available to visitors but
mended is along the ridge
I to Locust Gap. At this point
tup of Rich Mountain begins. In a direct line it is a stiff
climb of 5oo feet but by following the grade the ascent is
easily made and tho succession of views makes one forget
ill Ifiritjne. M -- attempts hnve been made recently to
-cM'tne p'ntorupli f this scenery without success. No
'-.?::'r:i h;is :) enough field to give the correct ini-
l.rfiion ot tin- -x?- sit of the landscape. Each individual 1
ni l t soe f r him .!: to appreciate its grandeur. The vig-
oioii- can .-it-Ty spe.xl a day in walking further alongthe
succession ol knobs and peaks until some may even reach
t2 the top of Lanes Pinnacle which is over 5,200 feef, above the
level of the sea. From there one will grasp what it means
t.i rie above the earth and float in space.

The railroad has a tract of
Land for Sale
at Stevenson's Gap which will be disposed of at a very rea
sonable figure to a responsible party who will agree to build
a small inn for the accommodation of visitors to the moun
tains. A good supply of water can be furnished and every H
facility will be given for securing building (materials at low ft
rates. si
