Entered aa second-class matter May

a great measui'e to the loyalty in
which he is supported by the Re
publican hosts throughout the
State. If every Republican in
North Carolina will do his duty
as well as we feei confident the
Chairmaii will do his, there will
be no question except the size of
the majority. Let every Repub
lican do his full duty and victory
is assured.
There were those who did not
think Mr. Morehead the man for
the place, but not sufficient in
numbers to over come the de
mand for this young leader. Let
these fail in line—which we feel
sure they will do—an"(i help roll
up a majority in North Carolina
that will startle the natives.

The election of Hon. John Mot-
.«y Morehead as Chairman of the
S:epiiblican Executive Committee
■jf North Carolina was no sur-
frise to any one who had kept
on the trend of events in the
|K>Mtical history of the State.
The Republican party in North
€'Ar:olina is growing by leaps and
and tiiere was strong de
mand among the rank and file of
-.k& ^larty for a young and ag-
j^-issive leader—a leader who
not be handicapped by
bickerings in the party
Msks, The ideal for this lead-
%rsIiLp was found in the person
ji tiie brilliant young Congress-
m$. from this district, who in the
"i&t afeetion overcome a normal
3!?SiKyatic majority 5,000 and
triamphantly elected.

The Result in Tennessee
The State of Tennessee and the
whole country is to be congratu
lated upon the result of the elec
tion recently held in that State
for Judges of the Supreme Court.
While the result cannot be called
a Republican victory, it to a
great extent blazes the way and
makes Republican success possi
ble and more easy of achievement
in the future. While the ticket
elected was an independent one
and was supported alike by the
independent and better class of
Democrats and Republicans,
against the Democratic machine
candidates, it has greatly clari
fied the political atmosphere in
the State of Tennessee and entire
ly crushed one of the most cor
rupt rings known to political his
tory.
The machine in Tennessee had
reached the point of laying its
mailed hand upon the courts and
halting the administration of jus
tice. It will be recalled by those
of our readers who have kept
posted on the political events of
the country , that Governor Pat
terson and former Senator Car
mack, of Tennessee became in
volved in a bitter wrangle as to
which should control the Demo
cratic machine, which culminated
in the killing of Carmack by Dun
can B.''Cooper, a Patterson ad
herent, who was tried and sen
tenced to 20 yearsi in the states
prison for the crime. The case
was appealed to the Supreme
Court of the State and the deci
sion of the lower court affii*med,
whereupon Governor Patterson
promptly pardoned Cooper.
This so affronted three of the
Judges of the Supreme- Court that
they at once declared themselves
independent candidates for re-
election against the nominees of
the machine, and with the aid of
the Republicans were triumph
antly elected. As stated in the
outset, now that this corrupt ma
chine has been ci^ushed, we may
expect cleaner politics in the
State of Tennessee and perhaps
the control of the State Govern
ment by the Republicans at no
great distant day. .
When a politica l party becomes
so drunken with power as it has
in Tennessee* and some other
southern States, which we could
name, corruption is sure to be
come rampant and run riot, while
the interest of the people suffer.
However it so happens that once
in a while there is a rising of the
people, when the machine is
crushed and its promotel’s and
beneficiaries relegated to the
rear. The dominant party in
North Carolina should profit by
the experience of the dominent
party in Tennessee, and deal fair
ly with the people, or it will be
consigned to the shades of ob
livion.
The Neglect of the South,
The fact that Congress has
provided an additional $30,000,000
for irrigation in tlie west and that
Burlington is still out in the cold
so far as concerns a government
building for handling and dis
tributing the mail, naturally calls
up the question why the South
should not share in the proceeds
of the sale of tl:,e public lands
equally with the west in the mat
ter of appropriations. We are not
complaining of the west, nor do
we begrudge to her a full share
in the fund deriv;d from the sale
of the public domain. At the
same time we beg leave to re
mind our lav/ !makers that the
public lands and the money de
rived from the sale tlijereof is the
fund of the common country just
as much as any piece of gold in
treasury.
The fact that all or nearly all
of the public land lies west of the
Mississippi river does not give
that section of country any
stronger claim upon the samq
than the section lying east of the
Mississippi. The main, cause of
this neglect of the South in the
matter of appropriations is to be
found in the fact the representa--
tion in Congress from the South
devote more time and attention to
political questions than to those
that pertain to the improvement
and up-building of the sections
which they represent.
When ever a question of public
policy arises in Congress that has
the faintest appearance of build
ing up the country in the west,
politics are at once eliminated
from the question and relegated
to the rear and a solid front is
presented in favor of the scheme.
With the members from the
south, there is no such iinity of
action. The party whip is crack
ed and party regularity has to be
preserved at the expense of the
south. We promised in our new
year salutatory to labor in and
out of season for the erection of
a government building at Bur
lington and to this end we shall
devote much time and our best
energies until the object has been
accomplished.
Places of less note and less im
portance than Burlington have
secured government buildings, so
let us have less politics and more
energy, more progress and more
agitation of the subject until a
substantial postofRce building
rears its head to the blue vaults
of heaven in Burlington.
