OBSERVER. Faycttevlllc, N. C. THURSDAY, . . AUGUST 23, 1906 E. 4. HALE, Editor and Proprietor. EhI. HAVE. Jr Business Manager. MB. HAlSRt AND MM. McCILLS CAN i DIOACY WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A , REMOCIAf, . t,r-. We have received the following letter: ' ' - - ' Alderman, if. C Aug. 18, 1006. Ma. Editor: I notice a local re port in your weekly issue of the 16th inst, in which you attempt to name - the candidates for the various county ottices. in naming those for the Leg islative ticket, my name is omitted. As I am the only candidate from Cray's Creek and the onlv one so far i who has announcrd for the Legisla r rare in your columns, I hope and be lieve this omission was by inadvert ence and not by intent If so, will yon piease ao me ut justice to so stater Otherwise it will appear to the public that the Observer is ignoring- my candidacy. I also note that in a strong edito rial you indorse some private eorre- - spondent, who is unknown to me, as ,the man superior to all others for the Legislature, because of his atti tude towards the Bryan resolution which Maj. Hale offered and secured as a plank in the State platform. It occurs to me that this is an unfair position for you. to assume toward other avowed candidates, and es pecially so toward me; for you will recall that in a personal interview with Maj. Hale in his office, before my announcement appeared in your columns, I assured Maj. Hale, 'not only that I fully endorsed his action in that matter, but that I regarded ' his victory in it as one of his greatest public achievements. I have long since gone on record in the columns of your paper as an enthusiastic Bryan Democrat. In an article con tributed to your columns last Decem ber on the railway rate question, I referred to Mr. Bryan as a great Dem ocratic leader, and gave him as my authority for my positian on said question, which was at that time in advance of any other writer on the subject in this section.but I afterward had the satisfaction of seeing our en tire delegation in Congress from North Carolina support my position. I advert to that matter to show that I am taking no new position toward Bryan, but am only consistent with my past attitude toward him. I can- - hoc oeneve mat yoirwonw intention-J ally treat me or any one else unfairly, and I therefore respectrully request that yon publish this communication in order that I may be set right before the public I am, respectfully, James Marsh. Upon looking at the issue of the Weekly Observer referred to by Mr. Marsh, we find that he has just cause of complaint Nothing, however, was further from our intention than to give him offence. On the contra ry, the editor of the Observer per sonally favored Mr. Marsh's candi dacy from the first knowledge he had . of it viz.: when the announcement was brought to the Observer office and he told Mr. Marsh so at the time. Vm r xrAM.k 1.-. , nounced his endorsement of the reso lutions passed by the State Conven tion, in reversal of the action of the unrepresentative platform committee, we hasten to give Mr. Marsh the ben eht of our exceptional rule, and to declare that the Observer warmly desires his nomination. The accident by which the same issue of the Weekly Observer con tained a local report of the "Candi dates spoken- of (which did not in clude Mr., Marsh's name) and also Mr. Marsh's letter and announcement of his candidacy, gas one which, ac cording to the doctrine of chances, couian i nappen again in many years; " " The "local, report" of "can didates spoken of was published in the Daily Observer of Friday, Au gust 10th, whereas Mr. Mai sh's an nouncement was handed in and pub lished on Monday, August 13th. The .. "local report'.' of "candidates spoken of was "made up" ia the "form of the "outside' of the Weekly issue of August 1 6th which "outside' was printed on Saturday night (Au gust nth), and which said "local rtpoit" was forgotten ss past mat cr. r, aiarsn s lener ana an nouncement, which appeared in the Daily of August 13th, was "made up" in the "form" of the "inside" of the Weekly issue of August 16th, which was printed on Wednesday night (August 15th.) We rejpetejtceedingly that these details, common to every printing of fice, should have been the means of causing such an injustice to our friend, Mr. Marsh. 1 - MR. MCGIIA'S CANDIDACY, i Since Mr. Marsh s communication retched ua we hav mvivnl m 1Mt Mom the .Democratic correspondent so nigniy exioiiea (out not named) by us in the Daily Observer of Saturday, . A & . t T ... . . . nuguu 1 iuj, ana in ine weesay UD server of August 16th, authorising ns to give his name. If is Hon. A. D. McGilL candidate (and the only one so far announced) for the Senate.- ; The Observer therefore heartily endorses the candidacy of Mr. McGill for the Senate and of Mr. Marsh for the House, and ventures to express the hope that a worthv runninz mate for them may be chosen by the con vention. THE PRINCIPLE AT 8TAKB. 5 It is perhaps worth while to add rule of maintaining neutrality until the convention hat spoken because it was the editor of the Observer who caused the State convention to reverse its platform committee In the matter of tfe platform committee mi: rejection of resolutions favoring Bryan and his principles and constitutional amendments validatingan income Ur &c.; but because the issue involved is a vital one to the party. No candi date for nomination by a Democratic convention in North Carolina should be considered a moment in this turn ing point of the career of the Democrat ic party and of the American people. who does not make it clear that he is, first op all, a Democrat, and thaj he abides by the action of the State convention in teaching its creature, the platform committee, ss it did at Greensboro on July 3d, the true prin ciples of Democracy as IT (the sover eign convention) lays them down. while upon this subject we avail ourselves of the occasion to say what must approve itself to every sound minded person that no candidate for office should be allowed to make use of the machinery of the Dem ocratic party who is not above all thingselse, a Democrat The rank and file may scratch tickets, and do pretty much as they please within reasonable limits; but the man who seeks office, or a position as a representative of the party in its councils, must be clean in his record. He must prove his title to the faith and trust of Democrats by showing that he has always, while pretending to represent the Democratic party, set the princi ples and the ArTHORlTY of the Dem ocratic party above all other consid erations. It follows that HO CANDIDATE FOR office should be allowed to avail himself of the machinery of the Democratic party in the present in stance, as used in the assembling of Democratic county convention, specifically, the Cumberland County Democratic Convention which meets on September 6th who is' not ready to declare that he holds the authority of the Democratic party superior to all other authority in the realm politics and law-making. Thus, the man who -favors bar rooms or prohibition, "high license' or dispensary, the doctrine and prac tice of Masons, Odd Fellows. Py- thians, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians or Baptists, or other principles not found in the Democrat ic Decalogue, and intends to scratch the-.ticket nomina ted- hythe party convention before which he himself is a candidate if it should name candidate holding different views in these matters from his own, would be guilty of fraud and dishonesty if he allowed his name to come before such a convention for nomination for any othce.

Mr. Editor ; The mere mention of the names of our gallant soldiers who fought for an undying principle is sufficient to stir to its very depths the soul ot every one who lived during the four years of civil war. ' When, like a pictured scrollfthc panoramic pages of memory reveal the long and wearisome marches, performed by hunger-bitten, half-clad soldiers, the bloody battles and hun dreds of new-made graves, the empty sleeves, the wooden legs and sightless eyes of many who returned at the close of the war to deviated homes, wherever the ruthless invader had set his foot there is thrilling' of the pulses akin to the heart-throbs of maidens, wives and mothers when they beheld their loved ones march ing sway ; "In battle array." - When the battle was fought at Monroe's field, a soldier from Tennes see by the name of Thomas J. Malu jian was mortally wounded; he died about the last of March, 1865, and was buried at an old burying ground near Deacon George Newton's resi dence. Two cedars are the only to kens which mark his grave., Not being able to place a stone at his grave, I did what I could, planted two cedars, one at the head, and the other at the foot of the soldier's grave. There are some who desire to tut the cedars away because the roots are troublesome, when other gravest are being dug. . Will not Miss Eloise McGill care for the grave of aTennes seean who fell mortally wounded on Carolyn's sacred soil, and stained its dust 'with his own heart's blood? Would shenot plant one of her choic est rosea there to bloom above- his sleeping dust ? : 7, would like to see a crimson Rambler planted there, be cause his red blood dyed the sod, and I would also like to see a pure white rose there, because he died trusting in uoa. ' Mr. Editor, .there is another of still greater importance to societ wmcn seems to have roused but ; little attention so far, and that is the State's duty to her feeble-minded children. The blind, deaf and dumb, the luna tics snd suffering poor, all have been legislated for, while the feeble-minded are allowed to remain in an undevel oped infantile state of mind, to be cared for by relatives and friends for awhile, and then to become vaga bonds, wandering from place to place, and often in danger when crossing railroads and streams of water. Many of them could be trained, and their minds so developed that they could manage their own affairs, and sup port themselves, if there were proper provisions made - It is too expensive to send them away to other State schools for training and development The average parent has not the means to dp so. 'Why does not our State care for them as it does for other classes of unfortunate persons ? . CHRISTIANA. Little Ethel, infant of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Page, is quite sick, we are sorry to state. .

X uw merit tor the betterment of the mnrti tiou of "mankind generally in this worM At time we have two rKreat political lights shining forth among the people. They are known wherever the Anglo-Saxon blood flows and wherever the English lan guage is spoken William J. Brvan and Theodore Roosevelt - The former stands for the principles announced by Tom Jefferson and reiterated by Andrew Jackson, and .concurred in by all genuine Democrats who hold to government of the people by the people and for the people. Since the layuig ui uie luunuauon, many wolves have masqueraded in the sheepfold, and all of these have' caused trouble, backsliding, &c, ver ifying the divine injunction, that to be pure in body and mind, even Demo crats must watch as well as pray. The latter represents the Hamilto nian theory, that the masses of the people are unfit to rule, and the na tion should be isolated and the resi due of mankind, and the home-folks, too, should pay tribute to maintain infant industries owned and operated by a favored few, eternally and for ever more. These (two lights are be fore you. The question for you is, which is the true light and which is false? The former shines steadily, gradually grows brighter, and the IO BAVtf THIiTMIMT ffn ai.fWt ufectured in the very heart of the Pied mont tobacco belt, known to the world aa producing; tobacco with an aroma so delightful and appetizing that it introduced and popularized the chew ing of tobacco.

There are more pounds of SCHNAPPchewed every year than the total amount of all similar kinds. ' - Internal revenue statistics show that SCHNAPPS and others of the Rey nolds brands won enough chewers in one fiscal year to make a net gain of six and a cuarter million pounds, or one third of the entire increased consumption in the United States on chewing and smoking tobacco. where in 5c.

The latter light flares up suddenly. It is dazzling, then as suddenly grows dark, .The torch-holder steps aside to whisper to magnates of Stan ard Oil combination then again it grows lighter. But a messenger from the Steel. Trust is announced.- A t-Jegram from the New York Mutual Life is ' received, while these calls are attended to the light grows dimmer. It is not a steady light, but it is for you to say take your choice. ' We presume you "are a freeman; if not, why not ? Have you not sold your birthright or swapped it for a rebate on your big shipments of coal or iron or steel, &c, &c; or are your agents for life or fire gamb ling hells, - and subscribed monies that belonged to the deluded victims of your avarice in consideration of some special return for your under hand services ?

Does it really mean reform , or is somebody wanting to be paid to keep their mouth shut? The ques tion of trusts doing business is com mented on every day, we presume, and there exists a wide-spread antip athy among the common people to the name trust. But do they under stand the matter? . We note many of the merchants are advertising anti-trust made goods to catch the customer who. has be come disgusted at the name of trust. The people are the sovereigns. The State officers try to execute the laws. Do the people understand that their representatives have made trusts possible ? Have the people sanction ed these laws that grant license or charter these corporations to do busi ness? We presume the State considers 'it profitable, and it is a source of con siderable revenue. Do the people really understand this ? But as far as we are concerned, it reminds us of the old fanner who set out to make a fortune oflf his cow. . He milked and churned, sold the butter, gave the cow the butter-milk to drink, milked and churned again. He said to us : "Sal," ain't I getting there.
