CAUGAS IAN Vol. XIX. SALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 21. 1901. NO 49 i IHIJeL, JUDUK OS- Tho Himmons-Inlls machine is, no doubt, much chagrined at the ap pointment of Mr. F. I. Oaborne as Judgn of ihe ( ourt of Private Land Clilim to succeed the late Judge Fuller. We are Informed that Mr. Simmons had telegraphed ali of the congremui -u of the State who could be relied upon by the machine to meet him In Washington and that Mr. Simmons was at the depot read j to start to Washington to recom mend the machine candidate to the Provident for this place when he received the information that Mr. Oiborne had already been appointed. Of course, the person whom Mr. Simmons and his machine would have recommended would have beea some man of the kind of Oeo. II. White's man Mr. Frank Win ston. Tno candidate rocom mended would, no doubt, have been one of the hungry machine candidates who were expecting to get an appoint ment on the Supreme Court bench if the Simmons machine had been successful in convicting Judges Furches and Douglas in the im peachment trial. It Is certain that It would novor have favored Mr. Onborno nor any one else who does not stand in with the machine and who at that time stood up for the honor of tho State and the integrity of the Judiciary by opposing the in famous attack which Mr. Simmons and his machine made on it in or der to gst places for their hench men. If Mr. Simmons had reached Washington we believe the result would have been the same. At any rate the State is to be congratulated upon the appointment of a man of the ability and integrity of Mr. Osborne. SENATOR JOHX I. JONKS OF NE VA U . The Charlotte Observer comments upon the return of Senator Jones of Nevada to the Republican party and says that it indicates that he has changed hU views on the money question. In this the Charlotte Ob server is entirely wrong. Senator Jones has always stood and stands now for the quantitative theory, that is, that t hd prosperity of the country depends uj)oa tho quanity of the circulating medium Increas ing with the increase of population and business. On all other ques tions Senator Jones has always be n a Republican. Temporarily the money question will be settled so long as the output of gold furnishes the demand for new money to keep up the supply and thertfore to keep prices from falling. Whenever conditions shall change and money shall grow scarce and prices shall consequently begin to fall the Charlotte Observer will find Senator Jones of Nevada ia the front rank lighting for an increased supply of money, and inasmuch as at that time there will be a scarcity of gold under the gold standard he will be advocating either the free coinage of silver or more likely legal tender greenbacks to nuke up the deficiency. The fact is that Senator Jones has always stood for the lue of legal tender by the Gsv ernment, increasing its quantity ac cording to the demand so as to maintain the stability of prices and has always maintained that any other system of finance is absurd, foolish and criminal. THE DANGER OP THE MACHIXK BEING SEEN AND FKLT. A number of Democratic leaders and Democratic newspapers have at last waked ud to the fact that the Simmons redshirt machine is a close corporation and that the State gov ernment is being run in the interest of this close corporation regardless of the interests or wishes of a large part of the party and regardless of the welfare of the State. It is a great pity that they did not realise this before they helped foist this machine in power. The Caucasian was one of those that warned these gentlemen long tgo that if ever the Simmons ma chine got thoroughly intrenched in power its tyranny and even its bal lot box - stuffing and unscrupulous methods would be used against the best element of the party as ruthless- ly m it was ever used against an opposing party in a political cam Paign. We are gratified to see that tsH V.J , iri- the danger to the State's welfare is wing realized even at this iste aay nd trust that there may be such an .w.k.oe from the rnouaUin, to thM uwW foreTer drive from iwersucnan unscrupulous machine m the one which Mr. Simmons now . olutely dominate r7-Balaaa St Vmm nekna TIIK MAC'UI.VE AMD ItOKN K.

C, The annual convention ed Daughters of the Nov. 18. of the Unit- Confederacy wm called to order this Young Men's Christian morning In Association auaitorium by the national presi dent, Mrs. E. O. Weed, of Jackson ville, Fie. It la estimated that two hundred delegates were present at the opening session and what falling off there Is in attendance la made up In enthusiasm. The morning session was taken up principally with addresses of welcome by the president of the local chapter, Mra. Wm. M. Parsley, Mayor Waddell, on behalf of the city and Gov. Aycock, on behalt of the state. The response on behalf of the daughters by Mrs. Weed. A musical program rendered by loca talent added greatly to the interest of the session. Soon after the meeting was called to order Mrs. Stonewall Jackson in troduced to the convention aad she wag reoeivee with a great storm of applause. It was the most Inspiring scene or tne day. The entire after noon was taken ep In preparing credentials. The local chapter gave a magni ficent reception at the Orton tonight complimentary to visiting delegates. Confederate veterans and members of the Wilmington Light Infantry Ihe receiving party composed of Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, officers of the general convention and officers of the local chapter. It was most brilliant affair. SBCOlfD DAT. Both the morning and afternoon seasons today were taken up almost exclusively with reports of the na tional officer and state presidents. All were eucouraging and indicative ol much progress during the past fiscal year. Both sessions were opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr.. A. D. Mc- Clure, of this city, and were extra ordinarily harmonious and in strik ing contrast to the first regular busi- nes session yesterday afternoon. when then was much animated dis-1 cussion over receiving the report of tne credential committee, which was not finally adopted until this morning The vote represented in convention is 876, which includes fourteen chapters, with a combined membership of 4,709. Reports from all the state were received in alphabitical order, and n!ah ik k Florida when the convention ad journ d at G o'clock this evening. Mrs. Cooley, Florida's state presi dent, was too unwell to attend the day's session, and her report was de ferred until to morrow. The convention did not reach the matter of the Jefferson Davis monu ment today, as was expected, but it will likely be considered to-morrow. Mrs. N. V. Randolph, of Richmond, secretary of the Monument Associa tion, and one of the most enthusias tic workers in the cause, said this evening that a meeting of the com mittee was held this morning, but thatSbothing but preliminary work was accomplished. The committee will meet again to-morrow before the convention hour, and it is ex pected that some definite action will be taken at once. New Orleans and Baltimore are working for the convention next year, other invitations are expectea. THIBD DAT. Two interesting subjects were brought up during the morning ses sion. They were the Jefferson Davis monument and the National Chil dren of the Confederacy. Aside from these, the business transacted of little importance. Mrs. Dudley Reynolds of Louis ville, Ky., read one of the most en tertaining reports heard in the con vention on the Children ot the Con federacy. She is the daughter of the late M. E. Bruce, of Confede rate fame, who, during his lifetime, gave nearly four hundred thousand dollars to the cause of the South and the Confederacy. Mrs. Rey nolds is the funder of the organiza tion and is the president general of it. She urtred the convention to honor her father by adopting the name "The M. E. Bruce Children of the Confederacy." The other important matter of the session was the report of the com mittee on Jefferson Davis mone- nient. The renort was final and was adopted oy tne convention The monument will cost about seventy-five thousand dollars and will be erected in Richmond ac tne intersection of Broad and Twelfth streets. The unveiling will take place June 8, 1904. The Jefferson Davis memorial is to be an arcn or gateway. An architect is to be ap pointed at an early date. Airs. Thomas McCulloch or Biaunton, Va.t chairman of the Jefferson Davis mounment committee, read ner re port, which showed contributions from all the states, aggregating a total of about forty thousand dollars. The convention adjourned at l o'clock and the delegates were given I o'cioc auu me " D ;T sn excursion to WrightsvlUe Beach M afternoon. The outing was much enjoyed. A large percentage of the delegates had never been on " , 1!!

There was a great rush to finish business In time for adjournment this evening. The Confederate Veteran, publish ed by 8. A. Cunningham, at Nash viae, was again adopted as the official organ. The committee appointed to de cide who was founder of the United Daughters of the Confederacy de cided that Mrs. C. M. Goodlett, of Tennessee, was the (bander. The other contestant was Mrs. Gaines, of Alabama. Mrs. J, D. Cantrill, of Kentucky, chairman ot the motto committee. reported that a star had been select ed as the motto of the U. D. C. On the points of the star are the words Think," "Love, Prsy,' "Dare" and "Live." In explanation of the selection Mrs. Cantrill said: "To act without thought is fully, to act without love i unholy, to act with out prayer is not religious. All thought, ail love, all prayer without action is Ineffective or cowardly." She also reported that the cotton plant had been selected as the floral emblem of the organization and said: "It is the one plant that in its blossom and bloom is in perfec tion in tne spring-time in every state in the South. At this juncture Mrs. Stonewall Jackson came to the stage to say good bye to the convention. Every body in the auditorium rose to their feet when this noble lady spoke a few words, biddidg them adieu and wishing all divisions a successful year. The election of officers resulted as follows: Honorary President, Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, of Charlotte, for life; President, Mis. J. A. Rounds- ville, Borne, Ga ; Second Vice Presi- den, Mrs. T. J. Latham, Memphis, Tenn.: Recording Secretary, Mrs. J. P. Hickman, Nashville, Tenn.; Cor responding Secretary, Mrs. Virginia F. McSheery, West Virginia; Treas urer, Mrs. James Deigh, Norfolk, Va.; Custodian, Mrs. Gabbitt, At lanta, Ga. The next annual meeting will be held in New Orleans in November, 1902. The present convention has been a great success, and delegates all express great delight at their warm and t-plendid entertainment in Wilmington. The First McKinley Monument. Chicago Tribune. The first McKinley monument to be e ecte i m tne uuiteu states was dedicated last Sunday. It is not so elaborate as others that will rise in the future. It is no stately arch, no ornate mausoleum. It is a plain stone shaft eighteen feet" high. It cost only $12,000. But its speedy erection speaks volumes for the af fection the poor and warm-hearted people who contributed the money had for their murdered President. This monument stands in the little town of Tower, in Northern Min nesota. The men who subscribed the money are mostly the iron ore miners of the vicinity. They are getting good wages now, but they are overburdened with wealth. Therefore the persons who had charge of the erection of the monu ment were wise in not endeavoring to collect more money and put up a more pretentious structure. They cut their coat according to their cloth. They did not try to do too much and in doing so run the risk of accomplishing nothing. This simple, inexpensive, and prompt tribute to the memory of William McKinley, erected by working peo ple who1 believed he had a warm heart for them and had done much to aid them, would give him keener pleasure if the dead could be pleas ed by monuments than any lordly memorials in stone or bronze that architects or sculptors may devise to commemorate him. JCorth Carolina Cotton Crop. The News and Observer in its Sunday issue print letters from near ly 200 correspondents in all sections of the cotton belt of North Carolina, answering questions as to the cotton crop in the State, this year, as com pared with last year's crop. These lettars show that the crop of North Carolina this year Is 65 which will give 328,040 bales, azainst 542,000 last year. There is yet remaining in the fields, accord ing to these correspondents, who are all cotton-planters, manufacturers, or buyers. 10 1-16 per cent, of the crop. The reports show that the average amount of lint eotton produced per acre is 141 1-3 pounds. The News and Observer, in an editorial, claims that 90 per cent. of its information is based upon actual knowledge, and only 16 per cent, on estimates. CURED OF ASTHMA. After 35 Tears of Suffering.

The life-boat was on its way to the rescue of a distressed vessel when It was struck by a great ware and capaised. The crew were Imprisoned and only three of tbem -succeeded Id making their escape. Innumerable minor casualties con tinue to be reported on all the coast of the United Kingdom marking the storm as the most disastrous that has occurred in many yean. Snow is falling in many parts of the country. v The Norwegian bark Erratic, of Christiansand, has been wrecked In the vicinity of. Saltburn and eight members of her crew drowned. An Incomplete list of the persons who have lost their lives by drown ing during the storm, already ag gregates over 160. It is still impossible to estimate with an exactitude the total lo-a of life and property resulting from the protracted gale and probably the full extent of the damage will never be known. Tons of wreckage of un identified vessels are still being thrown up. Altogether it is known that some fifty vessels have been wrecked along the British coasts, thirty-four of these have been ab solute wrecks, involving, it is be lieved, a loss of more than one hun dred and eighty drowned.

Only ou cents ,Sol4 by all dragglst Washington Post Not. lHh Democratic newspapers cannot rxnsihly render any service to their party or to tho country by attempt ing to bold Mr. Bryan repuoaibIe for tho series of d tauten which have befallen that organisation since It made choice of Mr. Bryan as its leader. In his relations to the Dem ocracy since his appearance with the Nebraska delegation at Chicago in 1896 Mr. Bryan has been precisely what that party made him. Desir able As it is for the Democracy to cut loose from ths mistakes of the Chicago platform and to dissolve its alliance with Populism: evident as It Is that no union of the Democrat to ptrty Is possible till it abandons the cause for which Mr. Bryan stands, unfair treatment of the twice chosen leader will not tend to that consummation. The organs or a party should have courage and can dor enough to place blame for de feats, if blame there be, where it be longs. A party Is the architect of its own fortunes and is plenarlly responsible for its leadership. Re sentment toward Mr. Bryan, who has faithfully carried out the in Btructlons of his master, the party, is too much like pleading the baby act. - The Post of the 14th instant con tained an editorial from the Nash ville American which included an extract from the Chicago Chronicle. The Chronicle had said There are no unkind feelings toward Mr. Bryan." The American dissents from that, and goes on to declare that there are many Democrats who find It difficult to suppress a feeling of re sentment when the contemplate the plight to which the teachings and the leadership of Mr. Bryan have brought the party." The teachings and the le-der-ship" of older men than Mr. Bryan have brought tho party to its pre sent plight. Au overwhelming majority of the Democratic leaders were for free coinage in 1896. For many years before that time a ma jority of the Democrat in Congrets had been free coinage men. And it is worth remembeiing that in the spring of 1896 the Republican party had not got Itself completely cured of the delusion of bimetallism. The movement away from that heresy to gold monometallism was a long and weary one for the Republicans, and they did not come out squarely and unreservedly against silver uu til 1900. It was not the fault of Mr. Bryan that he was made the candidate of the Democrats in 1896. Then, as in mauy previous national conventions the veteran leaders were turned down. He made a great campaign and probably polled more votes than could have been won by any other nominee. His second nomination may have afforded cause for regret and humiliation on the part of Dem ocrats. Their pariy did not present an inspiring spectacle in accepting the nominee of the Pupulists on a platform shaped by Mr. Bryan to hold the Populists in line. But there again it was the party, not Bryan, that was responsible. He named the conditions upon which he would accept, but he could not, If he would, have compelled their acceptance and forced himself on the party. It would be far more dignified and infinitely more politic for Dem ocratic papers to stop grumbling about Mr. Bryan. While it is prob able that, in the words of our Nash ville contemporary, as a Pres idential possibility Mr. Bryan is over the fence and out," he has hosts of warm friends, and he is not by any means done with politics. Wanton Cruelty, Columbia, Nov. 15. One thou sand lashes upon his naked body quickly brought death to Nathaniel Williams, of Sumter, an eleven year old boy. The body of the child was tied in the house of Nelson Shaw, a negro. He had evidently died un der the lash. Shaw left the place seemingly in a panic after realising what he had done, and sent a doctor to the house. The coroner's Jury found where a hard narrow heavy leather strap had cut into the flesh like a dull knife over 300. times, and it was estimated in all that one thousand strokes had been given. It is said to be a ease of wanton cruelty. 15,000 Volta Didn't Hart Paaar. Utici Diapatoh, 14th. The entire street car system of this city was paralyzed for two hours today as the result of a cat's antics. Pussy was a pet at the elec tric power house of the Utica Belt Line Company and while on a tour of exploration today came np in con tact with a lightning arrester.
