44 A3 '- i - i . i I E., -1 I 1 - THE CAUCASIAN PUBLISHED EVEIiY THURSDAY BY THE CAUCASIAN PUB- CO. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year Six Month Twelve Month $1.00 Ho SIGNS OF PROGRESS. For several months the Demo cratic press ban charged that Itooee- velt's policies have caused an uneasi neaa in the business world and has affected the business of the country. The policies referred to twere the attacks made on the methods of many of the big corporations. The Standard Oil Company has been prosecuted and fined for violating the law, railroads have been fined for accepting rebates, the Tobacco Trust has been prosecuted, gratters have been placed behind prison bars, and the business world has been purged. If all these reforms have caused uneasiness in the business world, then it is well to have the uneasiness, and when we settle down to business again it will be on a solid foundation, and the grafters. 1 u B&1U gUUiUH ULIU I lie lllUUUyUHBlB Willi h nn mnrP ht fiVPrv hiiRlnM man will have a fair and equal showing. In view of the stand taken by the Democratic press we were surprised to see the following copied from Newell Dwigbt LI ill is in Sunday's New and Observer as a "Morning Tonic." It is not only a morning tonic but is good to take three time3 a day, and is not even necessary to shake well before using. It shows that the Democrats have been wrong in their position and that the Presi dent has been doing untold good, the results of which we shall reap in the future. The Tonic follows : "Many men are discouraged be cause of the daily exposure of graft and corruption in business. But all these exposures, so far from justify ing pessimism are signs of progress. When the measles come out in great blotches on the face the patient looks badly, but the real danger ap pears when the measles strike in and disappear, leaving the skin smooth and the blood foul. Up in New England when the autumn leaves fall, the farmer cleans out the great spring on the hillside. Lift ing his spade above that spring, the farmer looks upon water that is clear to the eye, but that holds within its depth the decay of leaves. When an hour has passed, and the exposure of mud is over, the water is soily and the child thinks the spring is ruined forever. But all the time the water comes down out of the mountain and gushes through some cleft is pure and sparkling, and oncei the mouth is 1 cleaned the spring runs sweeter and pure toward the house and on into the sea that awaits it. Every whe:e men are saying that the country is besotted, that men are sodden in materialism, that every man has his price, that graft is universal, and yet, at this very hour, the country is passing through the greatest moral and in tellectual awakening it has ever known. Never were there so many honest merchants and manufacturers, never so many honest financiers and railroad men ; never were wording men so intelligent, upright and dis interested. Any darkness there is on the horizon is morning daylight and not evening twilight." Newell Dwight Hillis. The Daily Industrial News of last Thursday contained the following news item in regard to the term of Court scheduled to convene in Greensboro Monday : "Superior Court meets next Mon-j day for a two weeks term for the trial of civil cases. The first day is set for reviewing the docket for the purpose of hearing motions and dis posing of many cases as possible without a jury trial. "More than a thousand cases are on the docket, and were the Court to be in constant session for a year It is claimed that the docket could not be cleared. Members of the Greensboro bar made efforts to have' a new judicial district created by the special session of the legislature, but were not successful." It is time for ex-Governor Aycock to fish out his inaugural address of January, 1901, and revise it up to date. Now, frankly, Mr. Aycock, did such conditions, as these related by the Industrial News, ever exist in Guilford County under Fusion rule ? We pause for an answer. Mr. Bryan delivered two religious addresses in Washington Sunday which is almost as good as our Gov ernor could have done. Durham Herald. A WORD TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS. It Is not often that we talk "tbop" la our editorial column bat we are going to discuss a matter here in which the subscriber and editor ehould be equally interested. - As we have announced before in our news columns, the Pcetoffice De partment at Washington has issued a new ruling in regard to renewal of subscriptions to newspapers, mag azlnes, etc. The Department ruling Is that after April 1st aU subscribers to weekly papers who are one year in srrears on their subscription ahail be dropped from the publisher's list, and if the paper is sent to delin quent subscribers it must be sent in a one cent wrapper which would greatly increase the cost to the pub- lisher and make it impossible for him to continue the paper. The de linquents to all weekly newspapers have little more than a month In which to renew their subscription to insure that they will not miss a single issue of the paper. Do not wait until the last moment to re new your subscription but do it now, as our list must be corrected before April 1st. This new ruling was intended to deprive mail order journals and advertising sheets of the advantage of the second class postage rate, but it hits all publishers alike. It is not exactly to our lik ing, yet we must abide by the law We want each and every one of our readers to remain a subscriber to the paper, but if yon are a delin - - Vent V0U should renew at Once If you like nice magazines see our at tractive oner elsewhere. We are offering three good magazines and The Caucasian all one year for $125. If you accept the offer and afterwards decide you are not getting your money's worth, your money will be refunded to you without question. Could any offer be fairer ? That long lost report of the Com mittee that investigated the Demo cratic management of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad has again turned up in the Governor's office! Glad to know that it is back, even if we have never been permitted te see it. But where has this report been ? Has it been lost in the Governor's office? Was it taken secretly from the Governor's office, and if so by whom, and for what purpose? By whom was it returned r j.ne antics 01 tms mys terious report are more mystifying than are the stories about Aladdin's wonderful lamp. The Charlotte Observer and other papers are wondering what the democratic issues will be In the fu ture. They say the negro question has been eliminated from politics the railroad question settled and the whiskev aaestion tfimnnrnriltr oaf tied and they are now looking for new issues. That party could make a ten-strike by reducing taxes, giv ing the people local self-government and they might get Aycock to tel them how to reduce the number 0 crimes in this State under "demo cratic good government." it a newspaper is subsidized be cause it accepts contributions from a railroad, isn't the Democratic party suDsiaized because that party has accepted large campaign contribu tions from the railroads, and would it not follow that the State of North Carolina, under Democratic rule, subsidized because the State has ac cepted $17,500 from the railroads in payment for special legislation ? The Washington correspondent 0 the Cnarlotte Observer states tha William Randolph Hearst wil probably be a candidate for the democratic nomination for the presi dency. it is not probable that Hears could secure the nomination, bat i he is antagonistic to Bryan that gen tleman's chances of election would ba even smaller than at present. Do the Republicans of this State want a Chairman whose policy it is to read men out of the party and make the party smaller or do they want an aggressive and progressive Chairman who will bring recruits into the party? Decide this at your primaries. Some of the Counties of the State were not furnished with a Republi can speaker during the entire cam paign two years ago. This will no be true this fall if the delegates elec a unairman wno wishes to see the party grow. FROM OUR EXCHANGES. Some Squibs ef Interest We Have Gathered With Our Pate-pot and Shears.

People's Paper. Is this payment by the railroads to the Governor to be madf a prece dent? Will they be expected to fork over a similar sum every time steps are taken by State officials to rectify an injustice that has been done them ? Wilmington Messen ger. What a God-send prohibition and the railroad rate question have been to the politicians. Just suppose these two questions had not been raised, on what issues could the senatorial and other political questions have been waged for the balance of the year? Wilmington Messenger. The Durham Herald is inclined to the opinion that as the "State in tended to take the money it should not have protested when some one paid it was to be used to defray the expenses of the legislature." I thinks, however, that "the State might ease its conscience by using the money to pay its attorneys." The Organ says : "If railroads will now stay out of politics, they will have peace." It must mean that if the railroads will go on and vote their emp'oyes for the demo cratic party, and give the amount the democratic committee assesses them for campaign purposes, demo crats won't bother them any more That's the way it sounds to us. Hickory Mercury. The situation in the camp of the democrats is about this way : If Mr Bryan is nominated, the Conserva tives will balk, and if he isn't the others will balk. For the interest of harmony it seems that both fac tions would be wise in getting to gether on some other good man Surely the great democratic party is not dependent for a candidate on one man. Raleigh Times. The legislature couldn't quite af ford to allow that $17,500 to be ap plied to the expenses of the session but the Governor was permitted to receive it from the roads atfd apply it to attorney fees, etc.," hisconnec tion with the railroad legislation Had the State won out in the legis- j lation, the roade would not have been liable for the State's attorney fees. Then .why apply this money to attorney fees if it is unclean for the legislators? View it as you please, this is blood money forced from the railroads as the price of justice.

Notorious Gang of Postoffice Robbers Captured Had Robbed Postoffice at Dunn and Other Places in the State Will Be Tried May Term of Federal Couri. Fire safe crackers who were ar rested In Van Wyck, S. C, some days ago, were brought to Raleigh yesterday to await trial at the May term of Federal Court. Some time ago they blew the safe open in the postoffice at Dunn and worked their game in many other towns in the State. When arrested the men had a full set of tools, everything necessary for their nefarious work. The bnnch consists of J. T. Leonard, Charlie Williams, James Scanlon, C. F. Shaw and Henry S. Hallan. Reprieve Granted Wife Murnerer Untf February 18th. Frazier Jones, the negro wife mui derer of Guilford County, who was to have been hanged last Saturday was granted a reprieve by Governor Glenn just a half an hour before the time set for the execution. Solicitor Brooks called up the- Governor over the telephone and asked for an ex tension of time that he migh. fur ther investigate the case. .', Avxespite was granted until February llth. OPINIONS OF THE PRE$. What Some of the State Papers Think of the Doings of the Legislature and Certain State Officials. The Hickory Times-Mercury says : In trying to write op in brief What is Doing in Raleigh we are reminded of the old saying tbe Lord only knows.1 Bat in this case we believe the devil knows, too. For it is said, tbe devil takes care of hla own. And to believe what the members say of each other, the devil certainly has a good claim on that disgust body. "That disgust body certainly did sit down on Mr. Glenn's mess. They don't want to seem to take his word. In other words, they don't 'seem to know which one of his words to take. He talked two ways. They want to see his private papers. He seems to be In the same nx as wnen Butler wanted him to show that Cleveland letter. And he seems to be just as dumb abcut it. Like a lamb dumb before Its shearer, he opens not his mouth,' and he loves to hear himself talk, you know." The Monroe Journal says : "And there is old Br'er Fox, Jim Poo, a honing and a whetting his anxiety for prohibitiOD, and just as we pre dicted last week, the rate -question in a muddle, the Governor's agree ment knocked to pieces, and the railroads likely to get higher rates than they even asked for. The ways of humbug are positively beautiful from an artistic standpoint." The Landmark says: "Governor Jarvis started the bail. He'e attor ney for the Coast Line Railroad, but we can't say that it occurred to him that it might be better for the rate settlement to divert the minds of the legislature with the prohibition question. Senator Simmons thought it unwise to spring the question now, but seeiDg the tide running so strong he jumpeft for the very front seat in the band wagon. Under the circumstances Governor Glenn, who probably hadn't expected to make a recommendation in his message, bad to come out good and strong, seeing that he is the special champion of the cause. Glory to the politicians ! The smart ones always try to antlcl pate what the people want regard less." GONE TO EGYPT TO PREACH. Was Guided by a Dream. Sold His Property and Left With His Wife and Children A Sanctificationist. Elizabeth City Tar Heel. It is reported here that John White, of the sturdy and prominent Quaker family of Whites, who lived in the vicinity ot iseiviaere, one night about two months ago, had dream which made him pack up his few worldly goods and go to Cairo, Egypt, and preach the gospel of sanctification to the inhabitants of that part of the worrd. White has recently professed sanctification and, after confiding his dream to his rela tives and friends, asked their ad vice. They told him that he had better wait for another dream, prob ably one that would call him hearer home, and that it was all out of the question for him to think of living to reach Cairo, Egypt, when at the most, he could only scrape up a few hundred dollars and had a wife and thre e children to support. They also told him that he would doubt less have trouble in preaching to the inhabitants of that country, as it was made up of a host of different nationalities, who spoke different languages that he could not under stand, and that the inhabitants would not understand his language However, he told them that he could not disobey a direit call as he had received, and the Lord would give him power to understand and speak the different languiges that he would come in contact with, and that he must go. So be proceeded to close out all his of his household and kitchen effects and all other prop erty and the first of this month, together with his wife and three children, left Belvidere for New York, to board a steamer for Alex andria, Egypt, thence to Cairo. Wnlte's wife was as anxious, so it is stated, to go as White himself was. No tidings have been received from him since their departure, and it is not known whether they sailed or not, but he left word with his people that they would land in Cairo some time the latter part of this month and would send a message announcing their safe arrival. White is about thirty years of age and has oldy had a short expe rience as a sanctified preacher, hav ing been on a farm most of his life. His family is of the Quaker belief and is one of the most industrious families in Gates and Perquimans Counties Not Willing to Take Their cine.
