JUDGE
PRITCHARD AND GOVERNOR
GLENN.
In certain quarters there has txn
an unusual effort made to niirepre
Hent aud discredit Judge I'ritchard
nl fn trive undue undue and credit
itx finvpmor Glenn over the recent
rate controversy.
The Caucasian was advocating
the establishment of a Hailroad
Commltwlon and the regulation of
the freight and pannenger rates when
Governor Glenn was an attorney of
the Houthern Hallway, and opposing
the efforts of The CaitahiaN and
others who were trying to bring the
Public Service Corporation of the
Slate under proir State control and
laiinn. It is understood that
-
"If the voters stopped to reason,
he 'boH"' would starve."
When we read the above para-
graph in a magazine article a lew
lays ago we were forcibly reminded
m . M A 1 A
of the political condition inn oa
existed In this State for the pat few
years.
The Democrats told the voters

the nf-gro vote m white men could

amonglhemselvea. After the amend
mpnt was nassed the Democratic
politicians became frightened lest
they had killed the goose that had
been laying the golden egg, so then
they got up another cry (or some
other word that rhymes with cry),
and told the voters If the Republi
cans ever gained control of the State
thev would repeal the amendment
- -
and put negroes to rule over them.
They also told the voters that the
Republicans had been extravagant
and wasted the Bute's money,

sion ists were a great deal more econ-

amendment that could noi oe

THAT LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT.
During the recent rate controversy
there was much said by certain
Democratic papers of the State in
favor of local self-government ; that
the will of the people in the State
should be permitted to rule, etc. If
these Democratic newspapers were
consistent in this position, then they
would not further deny the people the
reason for believing that Judge Lan
dis will not be sustained by the
higher Courts. While it is a very
large fine it will not bankrupt tne
Oil Company, but will probably
cause them to obey the law in the
future. Thpre are 10,000 other
counts against the Company yet to
be tried. The government officials
state that the railroads which gave
the rebates will now be tried in
the Courts. If this is done, Har-
rimau, the railroad king, will be
brought before the bar of justice
and will receive a heavy fine for
giving rebates to the Standard Oil
and thereby aiding them in crush-
son," than try to assign a reason for
whv vou did this. It looks to me
that I have better judgment than has
Butler, for I told him that you would
go back on us, and that the repu
tation you bore was that of au
inoratk. If it were not that it is
a hurt to the party in the State and
does much to bring us into contempt
and disrepute beyond the borders of
the State, I would be inclined to re
joice in being able to inform Butler
that "I told him so."
Butler is the man that made me
withdraw from the contest for re
election on the National Committee
in favor of Duncan, and I expect to
be able to prove to him that he
made a mistake in that instance,
too. I have always found Butler an

the people ruling in the State is not
telling the truth except when he has
a selfish interest in taking that posi
tion, unless he is equally in favor of
the people in each County electing
their County officers and controlling
their County affairs.
How could a greater outrage be
done the State of North Carolina by
the Federal government than the
Democratic party has done to Coun
ties in the State when they have
robbed the people of those Counties
the right to elect their own officers
and to regulate their own affairs?

the State from gangreenous Democ

ler is the man who has already made
a thorough diagnosis of the case and
knows where to put his knife to
eradicate the trouble. But, as Mr.
Meads says, would they let him take
the stump and canvass the State un
molested? The hungry politicians,
who are politicians simply for office
and not for the good of the party,
will hardly submit peaceably to
having their prey snatched from
their jaws, and they will object to
righteous plans to run the State gov

They are afraid if the party grows
it would grow with them on the
outside of an office and more worthy
men would fill their places.

of Ohio last week gave Judge Taft
an overwhelming endorsement for
President. It appears that the -sen

even stronger for Judge Taft than
the vote in the committee. As mat

prevail upon Roosevelt to accept an
other nomination, Judge Taft will
be the ReDublican nominee by an
overwhelming majority.

Green River crop of 1905, stored by
the Greenville branch of the Ameri

was also received for the tobacco, as
it was held until the purchasers came
to the terms fixed by the Equity
people. The consignment was a
mixture of leaf, lugs and tiash, and
the average price per hogshead
amounted to slightly in excess of
$100. The leaf brought from $10
to $10.50, while the lugs and trash
ranged from $6.50 to $6.75 per hun
dred. When averaged at $10 per
hogshead, the total amount involved
n the sale is nearly $700,000,'which
is the largest sum as well as the lar
gest consignment of tobacco ever
handled in a local deal. The tobacco
was held by the farmer in a contest
with the Tobacco Trust, and the sale
is considered a great triumph for the
