Men wno Diindly follow party, right or wrong, are dangerous to their country and themselves, Igno rant though they be, la many In stances. Illmrf, bitter partlzanship Is the bane of free institutions. Men should select their party solely because It represents their views and Inter ests. They should not be governed by prejudlcBor sectionalism. They should discard the doctrine of party, whenever thevare uneult el to their convictions of justice, equity and good government, Just as they would an old worn-out gar ment. Washington warned his country men agalnat lnton.no partlzanshlp lie foresaw that if men, living In a ttepuoiican iorm or government where all are recogalzed as equal, wedded themselves to party, with out regard to Its principles, It would be destructive of the principles of free popular government hence his wise admonition. Every patriot should study the principles underlying our form of government, and acquaint himself with the Issue before he votes; for voting Is one of the hlghs: privil eges conferred by the Constitution Frequently men vote against their own Interests through Ignor anc, haired, prejudice or intense par.izanehip.

The Hickory Mercury, comment ing on Simmons' spech in Ashe Ule In w hich he arra goed and de nounce d the Republicans for ap pointing Dt groeg to office, makes "splendid hit" when ic says that blmmoLB should, following his own logic be defeited because of the ap pointment of three hundred negro poh holders by his henchmen with his sanction tj perform one of the highest duties of citizenship. There Is no such thing as consls tency with the present organized force and fraud" mobocracy. They belong to tho party of 'great moral ldea"(t) a party that tears to tat ters the Constitution and the flag at home, while shrieking for liberty, Justice and self-government In the Philippines -ten thousand miles away. The Democratic papers continue to write about the general apathy In politics la this State. Wonder what is the cause? Have the ma chine ringstera gotton all the offices they expected; are they carrying out a deal to defeat Bryan in the State, as The Caucasian suggested about a month ago? The Fayettevllle Ob server commenting on the indiffer ence manifested says that the pres ent is the dulle8t national campaign ever known in North Carolina." Who is responsible lor it? If the "contitution follows lh tig" ia our foreign possessions, why does it not follow the fUg Iq NortL Carolina? Here white men'a cm.ti tutional rights were denied them in the last campaign by men who claim to be Democrats. How ean thty re concile their actions with their dee larationsl Such vile and contempti ble hypocricy will certainly be re buked by the honest, libertylorine eitisens of this State, and at no die! aw TIIKHE tS nKT!tlCTl03r f tll- TOH1, A Democratic correspondent of the Fayettevllle Olmerver writes to that tper as follows: Let us rvmemr still that there Is retribution la history and so hold -way and jovern by Just, wL and Kenerous laws let a lew short yearn may not roll away befoe It may by written of us there Is retribu tion In history." It Is Just as certain m fate that the tnwses of North Carollnla who have respect for law and order, and who love Justice, honesty and fair doling, will wrest the reins of gov ernment from the present usurpers who obtained control by "force, fraud," Intimidation and wholesale ballot stealing. There Is certain to be retribution In history" for a party that stands fur no high polltl cal or moral principles, but advocates redAhlrtlsm and violence, and prac tice the most oorrupt methods known to politics. This oorregpondent plesxts for "Just, wise and generous laws." A river can rise no higher than Its source. A party that obtains power by 'fraud and force" can not be expected to enact any ' just, wise and generous laws." SHOULD NOT IXCREASE AC RE AO E. THE The present high prices for cotton mar have a tendency to stimulate increased production in some ac ions; but, ia oar jadgmeat, it would e unwise tor farmers to increase their acreage even in the slightest decree. If It had not bsen for the destrnc t ve storm j ia Ttas aa l ua'oard treats ia other sections of the cotton bait, resulting ia short ign of pro taction, there would, indeed, have eea a large orop yield, with const- ineat lowering of prices. Now, it (64019 to as to be the i fast cornea f jr farmers to reduce their aoreage instead of increasing it. The short orop of last year sold for 4t?aty million dollars more than the large crop of the previous year. It is far better to receive a handsome price for a small crop than a small price for a large orop for time, labor tad expense are saved in the culti vation of the small orop, while the increased price frq neatly is great er. Besides the land can be betttr fertilized and better cultivated. It there were some co-operation and ooncert of action on the part of the farmers as to planting and mar keting their crops judiciously they would rrap very great benefits whereas, unorganized, they are the prey of every shaik and monop olist. WHY 19 THE MACniXE SO IXDIF FKHENTr "National election just five weeks off to-day, and suoh little interest in t down this way." Oreen villa Re flector. Thus another "witness" appears to testify to the Indifference and inao tivity of the Democratic machine. xi w was u iney oouiu so arouse their followers ia Ausrast, and can not have any inttrest now in the na ttonil election) Was it an under standing with the McKmley Demo e ats that the machine should allow uhe eleotion to go by defauM Every voter Is interested In hav log his vote honestly counted a- cast. A Democrat now may not be long to the present organized mob ocracy In the future, and then he will want his rights protected. The best way to protect them is to have an honest ballot law, guaranteeing proper and fair representation to each political party. The different Democratic factions in the State now have men representing different can didates for the Senatorship, appoint ed to serve as poll-holders, and cer tainly each party should be property represented. A trust on political liberty is tht most dangerous trust that can b formed. The redsnirt "fraud an frce" ballot-8tuffiag machine in North Carolina hare formed such trust, but the great people of the State are not yet ready to submit t 'bis vilest of all species of slavery. Taey will surely des roy this infa mous trust and monopoly that seeks to undermine and pollute the very fountain of all liberty and free gov ernment. Lst every man do his du ty to wrest the State from the hands of anarchists, usurpers and monopo lists. The Kaglish sparrow has destroy ed a large part of the grape crop in some pans of Oklahoma this year. The orop is not bothered in any way until the fruit begins to ripen. The sparrow then splits the berry on one or two sides and eats part of the Palp. After the bery is split the bees, wasps and other insects soon destroy the entire pulp. The berry s seldom torn from the stem and the kin dries and withers on the bunch. Tne early varieties do not seem to be so badly attacked by the birds. No one variety seems to be attacked worse than others, but thin skinned ranetUs suff-r more than thick skinned varieties. It was necessary this yt ar to gathtr some of the later varieties before they were thorough ly ripe in ordr to prevent their en ire destruction by the sparrows. Had Observed Angels.

"X," who persists In his desire to make it appear that Mr Bryan was begged to speak in North Carolina on the amendment, but declined to do so because he did not wish to offend Butler, has another article In Sunday's Charlotte Observer, and reprinted this week in Butler's Cau casian, in which he siy : "In connection with the state ment of Mr. Daniels. I have a prop osition to make which may clear up the whole matter. He antlcl pates a denial from Chairman Sim mons as regards his knowledge of the Bryan refusal, and right there is where things become interesting According to my information which, It is needless to say Is en tirely reliable a certain man who was on the stump for the amend ment told a friend that the letters referred to had passed between Messrs Daniels and Bryan. Det-r mined to push the matter to a pos ltlve conflimation the friend of the campalgcer, at his first opportuhl ty approached Mr. F. M. ttlmmooa and asked If the allegations against Mr. Bryan were tiue, and received the reply that they were, and Mr Simmons added: 'And I will state further to jou that whim Mr. Bry an was last In North Carolina I begged htm to sav something or our I amendment and he refused to do o" ''Now, if Mr. Daniels will secure a statement from Mr. Simmons to th i ff ct that he had no t-ach convt-ri" non ia Rtleigr., on July 7, 1900.

A reporter of the News and Obser v r watted on Mr H mmoas, shewed nlm the above paragraph, a ad inter Viewed him as follows: Q "Did vou erer insist on Mr Bryan speoking in favor of th amendment) ' A. 'A' I stated in a former inter view in the News and Observer. I ask-d Mr. Bryan if, in his speeches in North Ctrolina, he would reftr u local matters at all, and he repliec that he would no ; that this was his policy, and he thought that it woulu te unwise for him to do otherwise. 1 then made a very brief reference U political conditions in the State, say ing we had a sharp fight on th amendmenf, and that we thought i would help us if he eould allude to these matters. Mr. Bryan again re peated his statement that he did not think it would be wise for htm to take any part in local politics in his speeches. Q. "Did you understand by Mr. Bryan's answer that he was direct ly refusing to discuss the amend ment or was he simply stating his policy In regard to such questions?'' A. "The conversation was just In the order in which I have stated it above, and I understand that Mr. Bryan's failure to discuss the ques tion was solely because of his poll cy not to Interfere with State mat ters." Q. "Did you have any conversa tion with anybody in which you used these words: "I begged him (Mr. Bryan) to say something for our amendment and he refused to do so?" A. "No. The above are the facts about the matter and I have made no statement Inconsistent with these 'acts " Q. " 'X' says Mr. Daniels wrote 'o Mr. Bryan urging him to favor the amendment and Mr. Bryan wrote Dack urging fusion with But ler W hlle be does uot Bay 9 j lu so many word , '2L' JeavrB tne Infer nee that he obtained thU informa tion from a conversation that he ia s a democrat had with you last July.

Mr Bryan came to North uar ollna up n a teleraphio invitation from Mr. Daniels and my Sjlf, Joint ly." It Is thus seen that Mr. Simmons xpre8dly d nies the all gallon uiaue oy A. ' Mr Daniels ha a) ready stated that he never wr te t vi r. t(ran in reference to tho amend ment, never r ctived any letter from Mr. Bryan about the amnnd ment, and never nq jested Mr. Bry an to speak In favor of the amend ment, as charged by "X " As everj one who is familiar with Mr. Bry an's methods knows he never dis cusses local matters and he was not expected to discuss our local State issues when he visited North Caro lina in February. X 8 ST ATI INT To the Editor of The Observer: In the Raleigh News and Observer ot Thursday the editor publishes an interview from Mr. B, M. Simmons whiob he seeks to make pass muster as a compliance with my proposition to divulge the name of my inform ant provided Mr. Simmons wnnl.i deny the alleged admission that he nad asked Bryan to discuss the amendment in this State and he had refused to do so. However, the statement of Mr. Simmons is hedged about with so many carefnllv- wi ti ed worda that T An nnt tu k.. justice to the terms of my effar, I can t aire it as a denial. The ques tions and answers are lengthy and have the appearance of having been written by a shrewd lawyer after careful deliberation. As a sample of the alleged denial, I h re quote a question and answer from the inter view with Mr. Simmons as printed in th RUelgh News and Observer: 4 Q X says Mr. Daniels wrote to Mr. Bryan urging him to favor the am-ndment and Mr. Bryan wrote back, urging fusion with Batler. While h does not say so in so many words, X leaves the inferenee that he obtained this information from a eon venation that he says a Demo crat had with yon last July.

U is hardly necessary to say that X aoes not propose to be taagh d up by all these smart phrases, and Is not at ll bewildered by tbeir extensive use. When Mr. Daniels first took hold or the revelation made by X, he threw up his hands in horror, and said tnat the statement that Mr Bryan had been asked and had re f aed to dlsouss - the amendment I was "a He out of the whole cloth " Mr Simmons however, who knew that he did refuse, and also had reason to believe that X was on the right track, does not become s j In ilgnaat, bnt, on the other hand, anally admits that he did "ask Mr. Bryah if In his speeches In North Carolina he would refer to loca matters at all, and he replied that he would not; that this was hi policy, and he thought that 1 would be unwise for Jhlm to do oth rwlse.
