At the time I announced myself candidate for the Uoiled States Senate I did not know that Hon. C. B. Watson would also be in the race. Later be announced himself, and Forsyth counts bad the complication of having two candidates. Many tffjrU were made to relieve tbe situation, and oor friends begged us to show our love of county by amicably adjustiog onr differences without injecting oor rivalry into tbe county convention. We met and in a friendly spirit reviewed tbe situation, We knew, both remaining in tbe race, that ForByth stood ooenanceof getting tbe Senator. We likewise agreed tbat a primary or even a bitter contest in tbe convention might defoat the whole county ticket, so decided tbat one ol ds must retire. Mr. Watson urged bit age and the fact tbat in 1396, be bad led a forlorn flgbt, while 1 bad no claim except 24 years of party service in canvassing the State. Under the 'tlrsamstanees. Mr. Watson felt be eonld not agree to withdraw, and I knew tbat it was my duty, bard as it was, to rise above self and for my county's good to retire from tbe race. To be a United States Senator has been tbe one aspiration of my Ufa, and to surrender even tbe bope of repre sentiog my beloved State in tbis exalted position, cost me a struggle thai only Uod and I can ever know. I never again can hope to represent my people as tbeir benator tbe dream is past (till no soreness remains, for I feel tbat in thus serving my county I did my duty. Believing, however, tbat the mate rial interest of my State and eountry re best preserved by keeping in power thoca wbo will uphold the principles of true Democracy, 1 will continue to work for tbe election of oor entire Stats and national ticket, and now tender my services to tbe State exec utive committee, free of euarge, to canvass anywhere, that I may be needed. v To my friends, all over tbe State, who so oordially and nnselfhbiy aided me ij my canvass, I tender my warm and sincere thanks, and assure them tbat tbe recollection of tbeir kiodness will always remain in my heart as one of its sweetest memories. In eonelo sion I atk of my friends, for Mr. Wat son, tbe same loyal support tbat tbey gave me, He was a soldier, brave io lb defense of a glorious tbongb lost cause. He is a lawyer, strong, powerful and jost, and is a Democrat, steadfast and true.

The following extract from the Laws of 1891 needs prompt attention. It is of the highest importance td the Dem onratia party as well as to the people at large that it be no longer neglected: Sections 90-91-92. That-the Code of North Carolina he amended by atri king oat sections 90 91 and 93 of tbe same, and inserting in lien thereof tbe following: (1) Clerks of tbe superior courts shall make an annual report of all public funds which may be io their bands on tbe first Monday in December of each and every year, or oftener if rtqaired by order of tbe board of com miesioners or any other lawful author, ity, wbioh report shall include a state ment of all funds in the hands of said clerks by virtue or color of tbeir office, and which may belong to persons or corporations. The said report shall be made to tbe board of county com miesioners and shall be addressed to tbe chairman thereof, and the said report shall give an itemized statement of said funds so held, with tbe date and souroe from which it was received, and the person to whom due, how invested and where, and in whi -)i namedepos ited, giving the date ot auy certificate of deposit, or other evidence of investment of said fund, and the rate of interest the same is drawing, and said report shall be subscribed and ver ified by the oath of tbe party making the same before any person allowed to administer oaths. Any clerk wbo shall fail to mskes&id report, or shall wilfullv and falsely swear to tbe same she bal be guilty of a misdemeanor. See. II. If any clerk aforesaid (hall fail to report, or if af.er a report has been made the board of commissioners shall have reason to believe that said report is incorrect, such board may take legal steps to compel proper report to be made by suit on the bond ot such elerk, or by reporting the fact to tbe solicitor of tbe distriot to which the county ot said board may belong for his action. See. Ill The board of commission ers shall refer tbe. itemized statement so made by the clerks of the superior sourts to a special committee of their board, who shall examine the same with the records of the clerk's effi;e from wbieh said report is-made and certify the same to tbe board as correct, and if approved tbe board shall etnse he same to be registered in the cffi:e of the register of deeds in a back to be furnished to said register by the board of county commissioners, which bocks ball be atyled "Record of efftaial reports," with proper index of all reports recorded therein, and each origibal report shall, if approved by tbe chairman of the board, be endorsed with the word "approved," the date of approval and the endorsement signed by tbe chairman, and when recorded by tbe register of deeds be shall endorse thereon tbe date cf registration, th page of the "Record of cffisial reports" upon which tbe same is registered, sign the same and file it in bis tffi.-e; the said register shall also cans a copy cf aid report to be furnished oublishec one time in some newspaper of genera circulation published in tbe eoonty of said register and also posted at tbe court-house door, and if co newspaper is published in the county tbe posting of said report at tbe eoort-bouse door shall be a sufficient publication.

Hale, Editor, City. DaarSir: Referring to the rtportr- required of elerk.', under tbe Act of 1891, chapter 550. published in yester day's Observer, I beg to state, as the same may be taken to infer tbat I have been derelict in tbe duties of my efftee 1st. lost I bave made annual ex dibits of the eooduioo of my office to tbe Lommitsiooers, as the 'aw requires. 30. that my bond being witb guaranty and trust company, I have from time to time famished tbe com paoy with similar exhibits. 3 d. Tnat I have paid to tbe Count? Treasurer all foods paid into my effiee in tbe sbspe of Does, etc., and bave bis receipt (or snch payments. 4 b. That farther and in addition to tbe reports as above ri qursd, I bold tbe eertiSeate ot tbe Solicitor. SDDroved by the Judge at each and every term of court, as to tbe satiif aetory condition or my cmee. O b. That I am under a guaranteed trust company bond for about five times tbe average amonnt of tbe funds held by me. o h. Tbat generally, as to foods held by Clerks of tbe Superior Coort, they are very largely made np of trust matters, and earns arising out of tbe settlement of estates, and only those interested have any knowledge or inter est therein, and these ere matters of record end arc always open to exami nation. Respectfully, A. A. McKiTHiir, Clerk of tbe Sapenor Cjort. What tbe OBSlBVMhes been trying for several years past to bring about is the publication of these reports as re quiredby law, viz: tbe law as published in yesterday's Obsibyeb, It seems difficult to secure tbat. We addressed tetter to Mr. Mo Ketban on August 25th, again calling bis attention to tbe law, but bave re ceived no reply or acknowledgment. We therefore yesterday bad recourse to publishing tbe Uw to otder tbat public opinion night aid onr object Tbe above seems to sbow the tffeet, wbieh is step forward. Tbe next step is tor Mr. MeKetban to send ns In for publication at once (that is, before tbe convention meets) copies of the reports wbieb be Informs M he has alrtady nade. We would also suggest tbat be end us for publication the eertifieates ot tbe solicitor, ("4th" paragraph of his communication, shove), so that tbe public cat judge wbelber tbey cover the point at issue, that is, whether they sbow complete compliance witb tbe law in respect to tbe clerk's effiee, including tht publication required by tbe law. ' An auditing committee (Messrs. Hornr.TiltiDghMt, lad Hnike) is now eilminlnft the accounts of the other departments at the Court Hons. Mr. HcKetban would serve bis own interest, if hie tcconnts be as stated by his (and we most not be understood as saying that tbey arc not), by demand- ing tbat this auditing committee at once go over bis department and make speedy report. Obssbvib s'rom Daily of September 8th thi clux or thi couiri Birotn Tbe attitude ot the Clerk ot Comber land eourt towards tbs matter ot the reports required ot him by law is a sinrce of regret to well-wishers of the Democratic party.! The law Is perfectly clear and explicit, and yet be has nearly completed bis four yean in office without insisting, as it would seem that be should do, upon any of the publics tions required by the law. Instead of interposing objection to publicity, one would imagine that it would be he wbo would demand it. In place ot tbat natural course ot action he baa come very near to paraphrasing the historic remark of Vanderbilt concerning the rights, of the people. Observe para graph 6 h ot bis letter of September 4th (which the reader will find on tbe 3.-d pagt). In this, speaking of the taods held by clerks, he says, ' Ojiy those interested bave any knowledge or interest therein, and these are matters of record and are always open to exam ination." Tbe law, however, which created the office held by the Clerk and which prescribes the eonditiocs under which be shall bold it, takes different view from this, end says, in unequivocal terms, that his itemised accounts must be subjected to tbe scrutiny of those who make the laws aud create the offices viz: tbe sover eign people and tbat this scrutiny mast be available by them (not cn r. quest ia hit office, bo') through the medium of a newspaper it there be one, or, it there be no newspaper in the eoonty, by poaticg at the court hou.-e door. Ia other words, the law com mands publicity, and tbe Cleik is ex feeding his authority when he under tikes to critic's, as be docs in tbis paragraph 6 h of bis letter, the law laid down by bis creators for his gov ernance. Of like character is his state ment that be bas sent copies at bit reports to a guarantee and trust com piny, presumably in distant 8:ate, while arguing against eompliaoee witb the doty of submitting them to the people at hems from whom be derives bis i She. Tbe suggestion that tbe Cleik can bave his next annual report published, say io Jatuary, and tbat there is no use in rekiog op the old ones at tbis late day, is not a pertinent one, for the following reasons: 1. The Democratic nominating eon vention is at hand, and it is indispen sable to the success of the Democratic county ticket (to a renewed place on which we understand tbe present Clerk aspire;) that the party go into the campaign with an unimpeachable ree or d. To rt-aominata the present Clerk witb this his nnfortunate record wonld be to invite defeat for the whole tieket. 2. By reference to Section IV of he law (see 31 page) it will be seen tbat the present (that is, between the third and fourth years) is the very time heo a duty ot tbe highest importance to the parents ot tbe school children cf he county is required at the Clerk's hands; and tbat tbe third annual report is made interdependent in tbis respect wiih the two preceding ones. There fore all need to be published up to date. We trust tbe Clerk will look at this matter in tbe light of the Democratic party's luterest as well as of bis own most piessiog interest, and see tbat the law concerning his reports is at once eomphed with. rroai Daily Obeert or gap', tfi, Tke Ceik at Coart't Beisrto. A few years sgo, the North Carolina Press Association employed Mr. H. A. Loudon, editor of tbe Chatham Record, wbo is also a lawyer, toeompile a ptm phlet containing tbe Uws of the State on the tol-jjct of newspsper advertis ing required by law. This action was taken by tbe Association in eons queues of an address by Mr. London, who pointed out tbe aonual loss wbieh tbe newspapers ot Ihs Stats stffered in eonsequeoee of their ignorance of tbe existence of many of these Uws, coupled witb the negligenee, or worse, of tbs officers of the Uw. The derelietion of duty by tbe Fusionists wss taken fur granted, and reform seemed bopelets under tbeir rule; but, witb tbe advent of tbeir betters, tbe Democracy, more honest exeeutioo of lbs Uw was nato rally eouutsd upon. Witb the retain of the party to power in this county, we brought these laws to tbe attention of oor eoonty authorities, sod, so far as we know, all of tbe Uws in Mr. Loo don's compilation bave been cheerfully complied witb, except tbe Uw requiring tbe publication of bis item x;d annual account of funds in his bands by the Clerk ot tbe Court, Upon bis attention being eaHed to tbis, be said that tbe Uw had been repealed; bat we took legal advice npo tbis subject and were informed tbat it bad not been. From tin to time we bare endeavored to secure compusnee witb Ibis Uw, bnt without avail. As ths important sekool Your Tongue If it's coated, your stomach Is bad, your liver is cut of order.

BUCKINGHAM'S DYEMS kere f did requirement of tbe Uw became op eratlvc after tbs period ot the third annual report, we concluded that that and the Imminence ot tbe nominating convention would enable us to succeed. Wo bave given the public the law end the Clerk's comments thereon over bis own signature, and the public may now draw its own Inference as to the rea eon why such strenuous objection should be made to such a simple act as compliance witb it would seem to re quire. We use the expression "strenuous objection" because we are Informed tbat number ot the Clerk's adherents bave been running around town en deavoriog to work op sentiment against the Obsibtib on the ground tbat It is persecuting" him; but we are at Iocs to understand why a request ot an effleer ot the law to comply with simple, unambiguous, and acknowt edged law, should be characterised at persecution." We are also Informed that like tffjrts have probably been extended to tbe country. Again; we learn that some of tbe Clerk's friends have expressed tbe opinion tbat this Is bad time to "stir up" tbla matter. Nothing could be more unkind to the Clerk than the ex preeeion of this opinion, for It ueces aarlly proceeds upon tbe assumption that there is something wrong with his accounts. If, on the other hand, comes the logical alternative, they are II right, he would naturally hasten to expose them to the light of day, espec ially In view of the fact that he would be backed in doing so by the com mand of the law which he has sworn to obey.

C, September 8, 1902. Either Mr. Roosevelt is developing into masterful politician or else he bas some exeeptionaly clever advisers, is the verdict ot toe democratic mana gers of tbis city. His apparent desire to accomplish control ot tbe trusts was a surprise to the democrats involving. as It did, a clever scheme for diverting public attention from tbe one eesen tial remedy, tariff revision, but be has carried tbe game ctill further and bas succeeded in getting Senator Piatt to announce that be will not favor tbe indorsement of Mr. Roosevelt in tbe New York republican state convention. and aided and abetted by the leading republican papers bas created the im preeeion tbat Wall Street is against bint. With those peisos wbo do not sec through the ruse the scheme will prove successful. The Urge majority ot tbe peof le have come to regard Wall Street as adverse to their interests, and rightly so and a general imprea sion tbat.Wall Street is opposed to Mr. Koosevelt will maks for bis popularity on all sides. A careful examination of tbe facta. however, dees not warrant the propo sition tbat Wall Btreet regarda tbe President witb aversion. He baa done all tbat tbe Street eonld ask and more. The tariff is tbs mother of trusts. Every careful observer knows tbat, and sir. uavemeyer, ot eager Trust lame. has stated so wben placed under oath by tbe Industrial Ccmmission. Tbe President bas carefully avoided any reference to the tariff io bis speeches and has, in tbe main, defended tbe trusts. He bas admitted that some trnsts were pernieioos, bnt bas im plied that tbe majority were not and has advocated a remedy for tbe eon trol of the injurious onea which eannot b9 applied for years and not, at least, nntil most of those at present interested in tbe trnsts shall bavs passed to their long reward. Should the next House of Representa tives be strongly democratic there is absolutely no reason 10 believe that tbe 8enate, which cannot become demo eratie for at least six years, wonld sane tion a constitutional amendment wbieb might prove inimical to tbe interests of tbe trusts in wbieb tbey arc, generally speaking.

Were the next House to remain republican, it u more than probable tbat snsb an amendment as would be proposed by the republicans would contain features wbieb tbe democrats eonld not afford to support and In sny event tbe Senate would defeat it.

Professor Hav- speck ing of thefael vtWef th Texas oil says that it bas a fuel value per barrel nf $3 as compared with coal at $6 50 to $7 00 per ton. List year. thre were shipped from Texas 4 000 000 barrels ot oil at a eost ranging from 40 t 30 cents per too, therefore the likhbood of oil coming into competion with eoal as a widely used fuel is most promising. Up to date, however, there is no Oil burner on tbs market which gives en tire satisfaction. Tbat this want will be supplied io the not distant future is probable. Messrs. C. A. Snow & Co. solicitors ot patents io Washington state tbat already tbe attention ot large number ot inventors is turned in this direction, and tbev are almost daily in receipt of iiaiiries on the subject. The inventor who soeoeeds la prduemga burner wbieb will meet be required demand bas fortune bo fore him. Professor Hayes states eon fidently tbat the time is not distant when oil will enter into genuine eom petion with eoal but there are alreadv rumors or an e nort on tbe part ot tbe coat barons to secure corner on the oil lands. The demand for copies of tbe demo"-- cratio handbook is proving most grati tying to the democratic leaders. The book has received most favorable press notices from the opposition as well as trom tbe republican press and as re salt orders are pouring io from all parts dt the ennotrv. The fact that it sells for only 25 cents and contains a vast amount of information on the trnsts, Philippines and other important questions, doubtless has much to do with tbe extensive popular demand.

Ours is govern ment by parties, and it is absolutely necessary for every party to have a strong organisation or it can never succeed. The independent candidate and the independent voter set them selves op aa being better than tbeir party, but the troth is that nine times out of ten tbey are either Insty offbe seekers, or sere heads, who are mad because the dog will not consent to be wagged by the tail. These thonghts are suggested by the an nouncement ot the independent candi dacy for Congress of Mr. E. R. MeKe tban, of Cumberland ooooty, against Mr. G. E Patterson, of Robeson. So far as we bavs ever beard there is nothing against the oharaoter of Mr. Patterson. He is a young ,man ot ability, tbe nominee of his party, and should receive its united support "Open tbe door wide to the disgrun tled Democrats," says Rbvne. 'Pen sion tbe deserter," says Pritohard. Gaatonia Qsntte. Tbe Republican party in this State. so far as its white adherents are con cerned, is mide op of jjet snob cattle as is caiaioguea aoove deserters an sore beads. Is it any wonder thai so tew oooest men have tbe e'omach associate with such an outfl'. t BaLIIGH LITTIB.
