STATE POLITICAL TALK. E. C. Duncan Said to be Suitable to the Republicans for Governor. Washington, April 13. -It is now conceded by leaders In every faction of the Republican party in North Car olina that E. C. Duncan .railroad man. tanker and politician, will be nomja ted by the G. O. Ps for governor to succeed Locke Craig. The Republi cans think that they. hear a demand for a "business" man at Raleigh. Mr. Duncan has succeeded both as "busi ness man" and Republican politician. RobertH. TIcNeill. formerly of Wilkesboro but now of Washington has been to the State recently, and found nothing but Duncan sentiment. -The ATTORNEY GENERAL BICKETT. Duncan support seems to have grown into a real boomlet, and has knocked all others out of the ring. In the meantime the Democrats are cawing wood, and watching the clouds roll by. Friends of Attorney General Bickett. claim that he has practically landed the Democratic nomination. People close to him vow that he has enough men promised to put him over the ropes in the first half of the game. But, there are those who beg to differ with the Bickettites. It is not believ ed in Washington for a minute that Senator Simmons and his loyal lieu tenants will stand idly by and let Mr. Bickett get the nomination. Senator Simmons has not announced his candi dacy to succeed himself but he will do it in due time. There i3 no ddubt about his attitude toward another term. A-friend of the Simmons .faction o the Democratic party in North Caro lina will give Mr. Bickett a run for hi money. Just who the Simmons forces will ge behind Is yet a secret. Col. A. D. Watts, like Brer Fox is lying mighty low. but he Is thinking, thinking.

Mr. Citizen of this town! Do you want your dollars to build sidewalks in this town, or do you want them to be used in building sidewalks in the big cities?. t When you send your dollars to the mail-order man they are building side walks for him to walk on; when you spend them with the merchants of this town they will help to build sidewalks for you to walk on. Why not assist in keeping your own feet out of the mud? Why not assist in making this town a better place in which to live? You can do it by spending your dol lars with the merchants who are paying taxes in this town instead of with those who are paying taxes in th&xities.

German's In tention to compensate the owners 3f the American-ship William P. Frye, sunk on the high seas with her cargo of wheat by the commerce raider, Prinz Eitel Friedrich, was communi cated formally to the United States today. Ambassador Gerard cabled a note handed him by the Berlin foreignoffice in reply to the recent American com munication submitting " an indemnity claim for $228,059.54 on behalf of the Frve's owners. The foreign office up holds the legality under international law of the raider's action in sinking the Frye and bases the liability of the German government to pay indemnity solely on the old Prussian-American treaties of 1799 and 1828, which pro vide that contraband belonging to the subjects - or citizens of either party cannot be confiscated by the other and may be detained or used only In con sideration of payment of the full value. Must go to Prixe Court. ' Tn view of this situation the note says, the American owners must be compensated - for . their loss. .' It is pointed out, however, that the case must go Into a prize court that ques- tions of ownershipcargo and desdna- tiorfmay be established formally. GIFTS OF THE STORE.
