To Our Friends and Readers.
It gives u« pleasure to announce that beginning Oct 17^^or soon
er if possible, The State Dispatch will be issued Twice a Week.
The paper will be improved in every respect, but the subscription
price will remain the same, One dollar per year. The present
management has contracted for four thousand dollars worth of
new ma'chinery, every piece of the old machinery will be thrown
out, and replaced with the best that money will buy suitable to our
needs. We ask the support of every person who appreciates live
prog:ressive and up to date methods in the newspaper field. In
politttCb this paper will be Progressive Republican, but independ
ent enough not to be subservient to the party lash. The expendi
ture of four thousand dollars is a huge undertaking, but we are
relying upon the loyalty of our thre« thousand subscribers to make
the task a success, we shall make a personal appeal at some future
date, just now we are too busy with the new arrangements to out
line fully all our plans, but we promise you the best, cleanest, and
eiewsiest Semi-Weekly paper in the Old North State.

Evwy ifreacher wiio espjects to teach tMs
present
erats Irom first to last have re
fused to include a prohibition of
interlocking directorates in their
currency bill. The only attempt
at explanation of this refusal
that has been made is the states
ment that to deal with the.prob
lem in its application to banks
would be to handle merely one
phase of it, and the futher pro
mise at some indefinate snd un
fixed future date they will deal
with the whole problem in a
separate measure.
The question arose on Septem
ber 18th through a inotion sub
mitted by representative Wal
ters of Pennsylvania, a progres
sive, to recommit the bill to the
Committee on Banking and cur
rency with instructions to re
port it back with an amendment
forbidding interlocking director
ships. The Democrats promptly
precluded debate on the amend
ment by ordering the previous
question, and then under the
crack Of the party whip defea
ted the amendment by a vote of
265 to 100 .
The other incident, more signi
ficant, if not important, was the
vote on the amendment submit
ted by the committee specifically
.reaffirming the gold standard
pledge of March 14, 1900. 67
Democrats revolted against the
committee leadership v and the
caucus authority, and voted a-
gainst this ammendment. _ The
special signiticance of this re
fusal is in the showing it makes
of the hold which free silver
still has among the Democrats.
These 67 rebels against the au
thority of the caucus insisted
that the reaffirmation of the
gold - standard pledge was a
gratituitous slap in the face for
a large number of ■ Deraocratic
voters., The committee had sub
mitted the amendment /in . res-

Tw(® linterestittg and signifi
cant accidents anarked the pass
age of the Democratic currency
bill in th€ Hot^se on September
18th. One was the refusal of
the Democrats to fulfill one of
their favorite promises to the
country by adoption of an amend
ment alJined at preventing inter-
lockingdireetorates among banks
eligible to membership in the
Federal reserve banks created by
the bill. There is no special
significance attaching to this re
fusal of the Democrats to fulfil a
•public promise,' however. They
have sinned notoriously in this
respect during the whole life of
tiie Wilson administration. It is,
in fact, rather to be expected
now that they v/ill disregard the
promise they majde so lavishly
during the campaign last year
than they will undertake to ful
fill th£;m by legislative enact
ment. Representative Murdock,

will no doubt be very acceptible
to the music loving people of the

that immediately after the ser

Hiinter would extend the
Postlude by playing two or three
musicle numbers and would con*
tinue to do this until further
notice. No one is supposed to
remain unless they so desire.
