EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
An exchange asks if life Is worth
living. That depends upon the liver.
The Simmons-Aycock-Craig ma
chine failed to work at the Charlotte
Convention.
The Charlotte Observer has swal
lowed the Kitchln pill, but It didn't
have a very soothing effect.
The Charlotte hotels got their
money's worth and didn't have to
Kouge the people either.
A dispatch says that New York
Democrats are certain, they will beat
liryan. If they do it will be at the
;,o11h this fall and not at the Denver
'invention.
in order to make a sure Job of it,
iiryan has decided to have five men
w-t-ond his nomination at Denver on
tin! 7th instant.
Are you looking for something
new? Well, here it is a drug-store
at Mount Airy advertises that it sells
liquor on "script.
We have never yet found out as
to the whereabouts of that A. &. N.
C. report while It was absent from
the Governors office.
If Mr. Craig was a poor man be
fore he entered the Governorship
race, he is doubtless a much poorer
man now than ever.
We have heard of its raining tad
poles and pitchfork?, but it rained
down a baby In Raleigh during the
heavy storm Thursdajafternoon.
The Kitchin forces have demolish
ed the Simmons machine and Kitchin
will now probably build up a ma
chine bearing his private trade
mark. Some of the Democrats came near
mobbing the chairman of their con
vention at Charlotte Friday. And
tiil they claim not to believe in mob
rule.
According to the Roanoke-Chowan
Times (Democratic), Simmons has
lost his reputation as a politician and
his chances for the Governorship,
too.
The Gastonia Gazette, Democratic,
thinks that Kitchin is a "dangerous"
man. Certainly the Gazette and its
friends will not vote for Kitchin for
Governor.
If all those five Democrats who are
to second Bryan's nomination have
as good lungs as our Governor, the
Denver Convention will be in session
for many days.
The Charlotte hotels did the de
cent thing during the Teachers' As
sembly and Democratic Convention
by not increasing their rates. Let
other towns profit by Charlotte's ex
ample. Now will the Craig forces say that
the charges they made against Kitch
in were not true? If they do, will
the voters believe any of the charges
they make against the Republicans
in the future?
It would not be surprising to see
an advertisement like the following
in the papers in the next few days:
"For sale the Simmons machine. It
is not in good working order, but
will besold dirt cheap."
How things do change. The same
forces that piled up a fictitious ma
jority for the Simmons machine in
Halifax County in 1900 have now
turned and "swatted" the same ma
chine a terrific blow.
What do vou think of this from
the Durham Herald: "There is noth
ing at issue and all this fuss is being
made over the office?." And this,
too, after we had been told that Dem
ocrats were not office-seekers.
Mr. T. L. Caudle in introducing
Mr. Kitchin at Wadesboro, charged
that the tobacco trust, railroads and
other big trusts, were lined up under
the leadership of Simmons and with
him were supporting Mr Craig. Ex
change. If the railroads and the to
bacco trust have been boosting one o
the Democratic candidates, they are
hardly favorable to the Republican
ticket. Remember this when the
campaign waxes warmer.

Washington,' D. C, June 30, 1908.
Special to The Caucasian.
Several prominent Republicans
have been here since the nomina
tion of Mr. Kitchin In the Demo
cratic Convention at Charlotte. All
agree that with Bryan at the head of
the National ticket and Kitchin at
the head of the State ticket, that the
situation will be in the best pos
sible shape for Republican success
in North Carolina this fall.
The large and growing indepen
dent vote, including the Protection
Democrats, can unquestionably be
organized to better, advantage now
than ever before. And It seems safe
to say that If the elements that can
be organized against the Democratic
party in the State are effectively
brought together, that a safe major
ity of the votes of the State will be
represented thereby. But If the
Republicans are to win, the elements
of success that lie before them must
be recognized, taken advantage of
and properly organized, or the op
portunity will be thrown away. If
this work is not done before and at
the time of the Republican State
Convention, then the opportunity
will be gone.
The Man Who Can Beat Kitchin.
.The Republicans must nominate a
candidate for Governor who will ap
peal to the Independent voters and
to the progressive element as against
Kitchin in the State, as Taft will ap
peal to that element in the Nation as
against Bryan. There are a number
of men in North Carolina, any one
of whom could be nominated for
Governor by the Republicans who
would be almost sure to win, but the
man who could win would not accept
the nomination unless he felt sure
that an intelligent and vigorous
campaign would- be run from State
headquarters, with a sincere desire
to elect the ticket.
low to

for
Campaign
Victory.
Manager
This can be accomplished, how
ever, Dy following in the State the
plan that is being followed in the na
tion for a vigorous and successful
campaign; that is, by nominating
men fit to run on the ticket In the
State with Taft at the head of the
National ticket, and then confer with
the head of the ticket in the State
for the selection of State campaign
manager, just as the National Com
mittee is now conferring with Sec
retary Taft to select the right man
for the all important place of Na
tional campaign manager This is so
mportant that when Secretary Taft
and Mr. Sherman, the two nominees,
met with the National Committee in
Cincinnati, right after the adjorun
ment of the Convention, they did not
then select a chairman, but deferred
the matter for a further conference
to be held in Washington July 1st.
On account of the continued illness
of Congressman Sherman, Secretary
Taft has postponed the date of the
conference until July 8th, in order
that Mr. Sherman might be present
and be consulted. If such a policy
s wise and neccessary to secure Na
tional success, why is it not equally
wise and necessary in North Cora-
ina to secure State success.
Taft Strengthened by. His Greens
boro Speech.
What Taft said in his speech at
Greensboro two years ago about
what he would do if he was
President in not appointing pro
fessional office seekers who did not
want to build up the party to oflice,
but finding men of character and
standing who would use their efforts
to build up a strong and progressive
party, will be a great element of
strength to the party in the State
this year. The very fact that what
he said then infuriated the patron
age machine and caused them to op
pose his nomination until they were
smoked out and forced to get In
line, attracted the attention of the
whole State and gave hope and cour
age to the rank and file of the party,
and, besides, appealed strongly to
the large independent vote in tne
State who desire to join the Repub
lican party, and which will join , it
whenever it shows that it desires to
make a serious fight to make the
State Republican.
Secretary Taft has just returned
from his New England trip, where
he had a continuous ovation; he wll
go on Friday with his family to the
Hot Springs, where" he will spend
some time before taking up his. resi
Honna in Cincinnati for the serious
part of the campaign.

Correspondence of The Caucasian
Enterprise. Well. I see by the papers that Mr.
Taft hex bin nominated by the Re
publlkins, and I guess hit is only a
question or majority, az the Dyma
krau under the direction of Mr.
William J. Bryan never her anything
exsept a funeral. We gade an' loyal
Dymakrau at Bllklnsvllle saved awl
our crape twelve years ergo, an we
hev larned ter git hit out every four
years an' dust hit off erlong erbout
the first ov November, fer the funer
al iz sure ter cum off erlong erbout
the 4 th or November, rain or shine.
Death an' Dymakrat defeat air two
things that hit iz no use ter argue
against, fer the more you argue the
more deaths they iz an' the harder
the defeat.
But we Dymakrata hev lots ov
fun just the same, an we kin put in
4 Bolid years tellin' awl erbout how
hit didn't happen an who wuz ter
blame. In fact, if hit wuzzent fer
the fun we git out ov hit in that
way I guess we'd spend our money
fer cool drinks an not go ter so
much trouble. Still, hit won't do
ter give up without sum sort ov a
struggle. Betsy awlways sez I'd bet
ter stay at home an' look after my
wurk lnsted ov wastin' so much
strength tryin' ter eleckt Bryan. But
Betsy is only a woman, and women
don't much erbout pollyticks. Hit
does us men a lot ov gude to go
through a campane an' git defeated.
We swell up an' feel like we hev
done awl that wuz necessary ter save
the country, anyhow. We wrangle
an' fuss over pollyticks just the same
az If It wuz sumpthing important.
Ov course, pollyticks air a little im
portant insofar az the affairs ov the
country air consarned. But hit aint
case ov life nor oy death, an' no
sensible man ever thought? so. Still,
you read sum ov the papers an'
hear sum ov the speakers you'd think
hit iz mity serious. My friend, Bill
Moody aint goC any more sense than
hev myself, an that haint worth
talkin erbout, and I'd jist az soon
hey, him at the head ov the Gov
ernmint as Billy Bryan. Hit hez got
so we don't hev nothin' in this grate
country nohow but wars and rumors
ov wars, perlikal campanes, pick
niks," an baseball. Iri fackt this
country is fast gittin' so hit aint
much better ter live in than Russia
or New Jersey. I wouldn't give ten
cents difference. The trusts an, the
pollytishuns hev got everything an'
hit iz hard to tell which air the
meanest. If the people dont rise up
an' show their grit they will wish
they had done so. When the polly
tishuns put" on the livery of heaven
an' take the field az they hev fer the
past few years, hit is time ter turn
in an alarm, an' that iz jist what I
am tryin' ter do. Still I know that
hit iz a waste ov time an' strength.
The publick never begins ter sit up
an' take notis till after things gits
so bad that they cant be remedied.
Awl the world iz a stage an' the
pollytishuns iz the actors.
Ov course awl these reforms air
gude things. The trouble iz that we
dont git them. Then pollytishuns
simply use them ter ride in on an'
hit won't be long till they hev up
sumpthin' else ter fool us with, an'
we will put in sum more time kick-
n' ourselves. . Az long az they stayed
n the perlitkal field an', used tariff
reform and financial relief az a bait
didn't git worked up very much.
But when they put on the garb ov
the church an' begun ter fool the
people I got az mad az a hornet an'
haint in a gude humor yit. But
let them go hit: they will either
hang themselves or git hung before
Not long ergo I wuz readin' erbout
an ole woman that concluded that
she needed more sunshine in her
house, and she tried ter catch sun

But, hit wuz erbout az wise az hit iz
ter expect that we kin reform the
world by gittin' in the rear ov a

Walter Wilkin and Albert Baker,
who were brought here this morning
from Wayne County, one of thexa
charged with outraging the fourteen-year-old
daughter of Ur.WUey Wain
wright Thursday evening. The ne
groes were lodged la the Ware Coun
ty officers for the purpose of carrying
them to Jesaup for safe-keep lag.
The mob suddenly made a rush, for
the officers and took their prisoners
from them. The negroes were taken
nearly half a mile to the first oak
tree In the old Cherokee nursenr.
Here an attempt was made to break
the handcuffs which held the ne
groes together, but without aralL A
heavy trace-chain, which was locked
around one of the negroes, was brok
en apart and a loop was soon made
around his neck. Some one mounted
the tree and from the first limb
caught the end of the chain, tying it
around the limb, while others held
the alleged rapist up from the
ground. He was then turned loose,
his feet dangling about two feet from
the ground. The other negro, still
handcuffed to the body of the hang
ing man. stood with hands clasped
around the tree. The mob stepping
back about ten paces, opened fire up
on the men, hundreds of shots being
fired into the bodies.
Many tried to prevent the killing
of the negro, who was clasping the
tree, there being much doubt about
his connection with the outrage, but
to no avail. After the lynching the
mob dispersed.
The crime which inspired the
ynching occurred near the home of
Wiley Wainwright, Thursday even-
ng. The negro attacked the girl
ust outside the house and took her
o the woods nearby, her screams
failing to attract any one at the
house. Here, it is said, two other
negroes joined the first.
The girl's father, accompanied by
negroes, found the girl about 11
that night. She was terribly bruised
and mutilated. The negro Albert
Baker was arrested yesterday morn
ing and carried before the girl for
identification. He was with several
other negroes at the ilmeand she
readily pointed him out.
It was reported later that the girl
had died. '-' -
TO KEEP INDIANS NEAT AND
CLEAN.
Uncle Sam Will Provide a Quantity
of Soap and Thirty Miles of Crash
Towelling.
Washington, June 27. Hundreds
of thousands of pounds of soap and
approximately thirty miles of crash
towelling are about to be purchased
by Uncle Sam to further the cause of
civilization on the Indian reserva
tions of the West. To be exact, Un
cle Sam has put in an order for 512,-
00(1 pounds of soap and 53,000
yards of crash, all of .which is for
use by his Indian wards. As Poor Lo
asquires civilization, he evinces a
growing fondness for soap, towels
and other articles conducive to health
and comfort In addition to the soap
and towels, 2,300 dozen coarse
combs and 250 dozen brushes will be
distributed among the Indians in the
fiscal year, beginning July 1st.
For weeks officials at the Indian
office have been busy opening bids
for the privilege of furnishing the
Government with the more than 1,-
500,000 worth of supplies which will
be needed on Indian reservations the
coming year. Uncle Sam furnishes
the Indians with a variety of articles,
ranging from shoe-strings to Grand
pianos for Indian schools. The list
of purchases to be made includes
matches, dry goods, sugar, coffee.
groceries, syrup, cloth, clothing, farm
implements and mechanic's tools.
While the Government has practi
cally abandoned the practice of issu
ing rations to the Indians, giving
them only to the infirm and aged,
millions in money are expended an
nually to educate and civilize the In
dian youth. It is to the children and
Indians who .work that the bulk of
the supplies about to be purchased
will be allotted.
Democrats Cheat Each Other.
Wadesboro Messenger-Inteligencer.
In the primaries in the city of New
Bern, Monday night, the Craig men,
we are reliably informed, rushed the
meetings where they had a majority
present and appointed Craig dele
gates to the county convention, re
fusing to allow the Kitchin men who
arrived a few minutes later to vote.
The moral of this is that every Xitch
in man in Anson County should be
at his voting precinct promptly at 3
o'closk Saturday afternoon prepared
to vote for Kitchin, but not with any
intent of cheating Craig out of a sin
gle vote.
Kentucky Night Rider Sentenced to
One Tear in Penitentiary.
Dr. Campion, an alleged leader of
the night riders of Western Ken
tucky," has been, sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary. The night
riders have been doing serious dam
age to many of the tobacco farms In
that State. - but this is the first con
vinction of one of the offenders.

W. W. Kitchin. Representative lo
Congress from the Fifth District, was
nominated for Governor on the sixty
first ballot by the Democratic Con
vention at Charlotte Saturday after
noon, after Mr. Ashley Home, of
Clayton, had withdrawn from the
race. The final vote was Kitchin.
473; Craig, 3S1; Home, one and a
fraction; necessary to nominate 429.
The nomination was not made until
after the Convention had been In
session for three days and nights.
Kitchin made slow gains from the
beginning. The Home men would
have gone to Craig or the Craig men
to Home, tut the leaders were
afraid to make the break for fear
votes would go to Kitchin to nomi
nate him.. When Kitchin's vote had
reached the neighborhood of 400,
Mr. Home withdrew from the race.
which gave Kitchin the nomination
on the next ballot.
After the nomination for Gover
nor was made, the various candi
dates for Lieutenant Governor were
placed in nomination. The names
of W. H. Wood, T. C. Bowie. W. C.
Newland, W. T. Lee, Walter Moore
and F. W. Harget were placed be
fore the Convention. Lee and Moore
were withdrawn, and the first bal
lot gave no election. On the second
ballot Newland received the nomi
nation. One of the greatest rows of the
Convention came Saturday night
when the four delegates at large to
the National Convention at Denver
were placed In nomination. Senator
Overman, Gov Glenn, Major Hale
and Senator Simmons were put in
nomination. Overman and Glenn
were named without trouble, but
Simmons' name was like waving a
red flag in a bull's face. There was
almost an Insane protest - against
Simons. Some of the leaders plead
for Simmons, but the opposition was
ike a howling mob and would not
hear, and Simmons' name was with
drawn, and the Convention ad
journed until Monday morning. The
eaders patched up matters on Sun
day, and decided to let Simmons go
to the National Convention, and on
Monday he, and Major Hale were
named as the other two delegates.
The State officers were nominated
Monday. There was a bitter fight
over the offices of Attorney General,
and by a secret trade a dark horse,
Mr. T. W. Blckett, of Louisburg, was
trotted out and nominated for the
place. The following is full ticket
nominated :
Governor, W. W. Kitchin; Lieu
tenant Governor, W. C. Newland;
Attorney General, T. W. Blckett;
Secretary of State, J. Bryan Grimes;
Treasurer, B. R. Lacy; Auditor B.
F. Dixon; Commissioner of Labor
and Printing, M. L. Shipman; Cor
poration Commissioner, B. F. Ay-
cock; Commissioner of Agriculture,
W. A. Graham.
Mr. Blckett was nominated to paci
fy the Home forces, and B. F. Ay
cock to please to some extent the
Craig forces. Mr. C. C. Moore would
have been named for Commissioner
of Agriculture had not the Meck
lenburg delegation knifed Mr. Clem
ent for Attorney General, and the
Rowan delegation then knifed Mr
Moore to retalliate, but even then
Mr. Graham won by only five votes.
Democratic Politicians Against the
v Confederate Soldier.
There were several candidates for
the. office of Commissioner of Labor
Mr. Shipman had a long lead on the
first ballot, and Mr. L. E. Powers,
of Rutherford, a Confederate soldier,
who was also a candidate, arose and
made a little speech, withdrawing
from the race. He said:
"I thought my achievements would
count for something, but I have sat
here and seen the Convention turn
down Confederate soldiers so fast
that now I see that it militates
against a man to be one. I was fool
ish enough to think that it would
help me to be a soldier, but I see
that it hurts one and he can't be an
old confederate and aspire to an
office. This Convention don't want
me and I therefore withdraw."
There was another hot fight when
the motion was made to endorse
Bryan, but the motion finally
prevailed.
- The Platform.
The platform endorses everything
the Democrats have done for the past
eight years, including the actions of
the last Legislature and the Glenn
and Justice turmoil last summer. It
also denounced all the National Re
publican administration has done
and even denounced ' President
Roosevelt for "stealing" Bryan's
thunder. They declared for State's
rights, but failed to declare for coun
ty rights, or local self-government.

views on the subject of an anti-in
unction plank, is becoming cWr.
The situation forming here Is almost
duplicate of that which prevailed
n Chicago. The leading candidate.
who holds the convention so far as
the nomination for President is con
cernedin the hollow of his hand,
desires the Insertion of a plank
changing the law in reference to the
ssuance of injunctions against labor
or the purpose of getting the union
vote. Samuel Go m pert, who claims
to speak for the union vote. Is not
satisfied, and wants something more
radical. On the other hand, many
of the leading spirits in the conven
tion are prepared to give battle to
the leading candidate rather than
accept his dictum.
Mr. Bryan wants the anti-inJunc-
tlon plank in the Nebraska platform
made a part of the National declar
ation of principles.
Every effort Is being made to have
the committee on resolutions so
formed that Mr. Bryan will be
orced to compromise. It must be
said, from present Indications, Mr.
Byran will have a majority of the
committee, but it is by no means
certain that he will be able to pre
vent a fight on the floor of the con
vention. His Insistence on the Ne
braska plank can change a scene
of harmony Into one of strife over
night. The statement a week ago
that the convention was about evenly
divided holds true tonight.
Charlie S. Thomas, of Colorado, a
former Governor and temporary
chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee of 1900. who is a
delegate instructed to vote for Mr.
Bryan, voiced the opposition to the
Nebraskan plank in a way which will
give great encouragement to Eastern
Democrats.
Postmaster at Four Oaks Endorsee
Mr. Parker for Congress.
Mr. Editor: Having read the ar
ticle of Johnston Republican In issue
of June 25th. wish to add mr en
dorsement to the name of Jas. D.
Parker for Congress.
While Mr. Parker is a Federal of
fice-holder, that should not disqualify
him or any other man from serving
his country or his party in any ca
pacity that his party may see fit to
call him. If Mr. Parker by his faith
ful and efficient Bervice as postmas
ter, his devotion to his party when
he was called into the fight in a hope
less race with defeat sure, has .dem
onstrated his ability as a public ser
vant, then I say by all means, let's
nominate and elect James D. Parker,
of Johnston County, to the Con
gress of these United States and
have a Representative from the
Fourth Tar Heel District that will be
in harmony with the administration
My fellow-Republicans of the
Fourth District, if you want a man
that is a Republican, a lawyer of
ability, a man that will represent all
classes and interests of the people.
James D. Parker is the man. Let's
elect him. Federal office or no Fed
eral office. We "ant men to serve:
let's stop cussing out every man that
has a little Federal job and select
men who can do things regardless of
what walks in life they come from.
Why do Republican take up that old
threadbare Democratic howl, "Feder
al office-holder." every time a man
that holds anything in the shape of a
Federal job is named for anything?
Let - the Democrats do the howling
stunts, but let Republicans get to
gether in union and harmony and
put up fight that will win. We have
no time nor cause to dispute among
ourselves. What we want is. Repub
lican success at the polls.
Now, fellow-Republicans, if there
is a man in the Fourth District that
is not a Federal office-holder that
can make a better race and poll more
votes than James D. Parker, trot him
out. nominate him; and. speaking for
the Federal office-holders of the dis
trict, we, the Federal office-holders
will sire him our loyal support. If
you od not have such a man. nomi
nate James D. Parker and give him
your loyal support and, victory wll
crown our efforts at the polls.
- Yours for harmony and success.

(Progressive Farmer.)
Build up strong frames with food
that is less starchy than corn. The
clovers and peas supply good mate
rial for developing a strong frame In
the growing pig.
The Southern bog-raiser is less
likely than the Northern hog raiser
to begin too soon to feed little pigs
a heavy ration of slop and corn or
slop and corn meal, which feeding
develops the pig with weak bone.
Leave the weaning of pigs to the
sow If she Is In good health. She
has many generations of mothers or
grandmothers that have been attend
ing to that very matter In a most
practical way from the hog stand
point. The money Invested lo a sow calif
for Interest on the Investment, wheth
er she raises one or two litters a
year. There is no reason why a well
nourished sow In the South cannot
raise two litters. Make the Invest
ment that she represents give returns
every six months, instead of every
twelve.
Do not throw away your best op
portunity by using a scrub or a
grade boar. Use a pure-bred sire
always; as soon as convenient, get
pure-bred sows, so that the whole
herd may have the advantage of
well-bred ancestors on both sides for
many generations back. Each gen
eration of good ancestors Increases
the probability of the pigs develop
ing Into what the market calls for
most.
The hog raiser who grows alfalfa
has aft opportunity for making
money that la exceptionally good.
Raise alfalfa for hogs If possible;
and if It Is not possible, raise some
of the clovers and peas. In any case
grow bur clover, since It will make
bone and musle cheaply during
weather that is too cool for the other
leguminous plants mentioned.
It Is a small task to keep pigs
growing after they are weaned, if
there Is good grass for them to graze.
The Southern farmer can have grat
ing not far from twelve months in
the year If he will use bur clover and
rye for tbecoolftr part of the year.
Bur clover should be In every Ber
muda pasture- The rye can be seed
ed on any land In the fall after a
crop of corn, cotton or vegetables Is
layed by.
Do not have acres of land lying
about, while hogs are languishing
for exercise. Exercise is necessary
for their best development and for
getting Urge litters of lusty pigs.
The mistake of close penning is
most often made with the bear. He
will get better pigs and more of
them If he has ample opportunity to
exercise every day white grazing.
This can be done without much ex
pense, even If he is to be kept by
himself.
