r"r"TT W V A VOL. XXVI. RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER. 26. 1908. I!! EDITORIAL BRIEFS To-day should be a day of Thanks giving throughout the country. The "Starch Trust" Is now under fire. That's a stiff proposition. Notice to Trespassers! Democrat ic politicians will please stay out of tbe Republican pastures. Every time any one says anything about local self-government certain Democratic politicians have an at tack of liquor-phobia. The Democrats are of the opin ion that something broke loose In Georgia on November 3rd. Taft carried twenty-seven counties in that State. If any member of the Standard Oil Trust was in favor of the Repub lican candidate for President, they had a poor way of showing it. The Democratic . politicians are having a squabble over who shall be the Speaker of the House during the next session of the Legislature. The Hickory Times Mercury puts It this way: "Governor Glenn says he has quit politics. We congratulate politics." If the head of the Standard Oil Trust was in favor of Mr. Taft for President, he did not contribute any thing to help conduct his campaign. In Yadkin County the Democratic candidate for the State Senate re ceived only thirty-five votes. Dem ocrats are getting very scarce in Yadkin. Before the election Bryan said thi3 was a Democratic year. If this was a Democratic year, what will we do for them when a Republican year rolls around? The Democrats are boasting Champ Clark for leader of the min ority in Congress. It seems that only one of the "blood and thunder" variety will fill the bill for them. If Mr. Bryan expects to get the Democratic nomination for President in 1912, he must expect to get it without the support of New York, for he has practically read Tam many Hall out of the party. Before the election Governor Glenn is reported to have said that North Carolina would go Democratic by 50,000 majority. Mr. Glenn may make a good Sunday-school lecturer, but he will never be numbered among the prophets. , The News and Observer says that the "divine right" of the almighty dollar to rule In America still flour ishes. No, the dollar does not rule in America. As proof that it does not, ask those who contributed their dollar to the Democratic campaign fund. The people still rule In Amer ica. A "Western paper says that the Southern newspapers do not give much evidence of a prop'er apprecia tion of the South's political oppor tunity that is in a position to con trol the Democratic party and com pel the party at the North and in the West to be Democratic. This "Wes tern paper certainly has not read the recent election returns from down this way. The fact is, the South is getting in a position where it cannot longer compel Itself to be Democratic, much less compel oth ers. The curse of the Republican party in the South has been the referee plan which has resulted In the build ing up of a patronage machine to dominate and blight the party's growth. In nearly every Southern State this close corporation of a pat ronage machine has absolutely sue ceeded In preventing the party from growing. In North Carolina the party has grown in spite of the machine, and it has now grown so large that the people are determined to run over the machine and rid themselves of the yoke that would keep them in the bondage of a political minority. The handwriting is on the wall and the patronage machine must go, and when it does, then North Carolina will go Republican and a dally Re publican newspaper will live ana prosper and have commanding lnflu- LETTER FROM BILKINS. Election Regrets 8 till Tear tha Heart of Major Rtiklns It Required . . Strenuous Effort to Carry Biikins- vllle Democratic by Odo Majority. The Craziest Woman Alive Tho Major Defends Corn Meal Mush. Correspondence of The Caucasian Enterprise. Bilklnsville, N. C, Nov. 23, 1908. I tell you. I can't git over that dad blamed elecktlon we had a week or two ergo. Hit wuz the worst that ever happened, I reckon, Ov course, hit won't do any gude ter shed tears an lose sleep. But I tell you we air ruined, my feller sitizen3. So far az T kin see. we dymakrats ain't got nothin left but Jodeseevus Daniels an' a lot ov worn-out excuses. We had ter steal like the dickens, an count from erway back, an' still we didn't much more than carry North Carolina, losing several counties an two Congressional distrieks. An' Georgy only went dymakratick by twelve or fourteen thousan. Mv land! but they iz goin ter be terrible times in tbe South next time we try ter hold an' election! West Virginy iz gone whlrlin. so iz Maryland. Kentucky cum mity nigh goin. Louisiana iz shaky. Tennessee can't be depended on much longer, fer that State iz develonin fast, an' whenever a State gits sorter up in the world hit begins ter crawl Into the doubtful column, az we pollytish- uns say. Perlitlcally speakin. awl we dymakrats hev got left lz In the South, fer none ov the Northern States air likely ter go dymakratick exsept in State matters, az they sometimes do, fer years ter cuf. Hit Iz only a question ov time, probably three more ov the Southern States will jine Maryland an' West Virginy an' becum Republickin. Then we dymakrats won't hev nothin left but Jodeeseevus Daniels an' a strong smell ov brimstone. When that hap pens, I am goin' ter hitch Bob ter a one-mule wagon, put a cloth cover on hit, an' go West. I'll ship Bilkins ville by freight an' rebuild the town erway out on the plains whar they ain't nothin' but pure air an prarie dogs, whar I kin be sure ter carry hit dymakratick, fer I .won't live un der a Republickin government az ong az they Iz a spot left az big az my hand on which ter locate Bilklns ville. Az hit stands Bilkinsville iz in the doubtful column now. We uster carry the town solidly dyma kratick. But the vote stood five dymakrats ter four Republikins in the late elecktlon, we pollin' a total ov nine votes. So you see a change ov one vote will ruin our business. If we hadn't used money so freely, an' hadn't held three barbecues, the town would hev gone Republickin this year az sure az Christmas, fer they wuz at least two ov our leadin' sitizens that took mity careful nurs- in' awlthrough the late campane. We awlso had ter order several lots ov licker from Louisville, Ken., fer, awl though the two sitizens menshuned voted fer State prohibition, they sed that the drouth wuz sumpthin' awful in this malarial climate. But, az a matter ov course, they wuz no ma laria in a hundred miles ov here, ex sept in the throats ov the aforesaid sitizens. I notise by the papers that a New Jersey woman hez sued her husband fer divorce because he iz "unreason ably religious.' Now, don't that jar you? Hit wouldn't surprise me ter hear any day that erbout half ov the wimin in the land hev sued fer di vorse because their husbands hain't got a speck ov religion. I know that this iz the situashun in North Caro- ina, an, az I sed, nothin' would sur prise me. But what iz botherin' me iz howj any New Jersey woman lived long enuff ter git crazy enuff ter lm magine that her husband wuz "un reasonably religious." She ought ter be pitched into the nearest insane asylum headforemost an' should be kept In a steel cage, fer she iz crazy ter the danger point. I see that a postmaster In Mary land hez resigned because the stamps he sold, awl the pay he got, only amounted ter twenty-five cents a day. Why they iz plenty ov peeple in North Carolina who would take an offis like that an' they would think they wuz rite up next ter the Preser- dent ov the United States. Them Maryland peeple must be awful hard ter please. I read this squib In an agricultural paper the other day: "When people get down to eating corn meal musn, az the pioneers did, they can begin to complain about hard times. Now, hit iz plain ter me that the editor ov this grate agricultural pa per don't know any more than the editors ov sum other papers, agri cultural or oerlitickal. "When they get down to eating corn meal mush! You poor, ignorant editor! You mean when they get "up" to eatln' corn meal mush, don't you? Did you ever eat mush with ham or chicken gravy on It fer breakfast? Did you, poor, iznorant editor, ever eat mush an' milk fer supper, after the nights get cool, say In November, December, or January? Hit iz plain that you never did, or else hit iz plain that you air not a human critter, an' that you hain't got the taste ov a man erbout you, or you would appresiate a gude thing. Yes. mush lz the life or the land No man" iz fit ter be Preserdent ov these grate United States onless he iz fnn ov mush an' gravy an' mush an' milk.

Swift i CITY AUTHORITIES ARE OVERPOWERED The Negroes Had Killed an Officer in a Pitched Battle They Were Later Surrounded by an Angry Mob and Swung Up and Their Bodies Riddled With Built. Union City, Pa., Nov. 24. The little town of Tiptonville, bordering on Reelfoot Lake, which has been the scene of many stirring incidents the past month, witnessed the lynch ing, late to-day, of three negroes, who were arrested this morning for murdering Special Deputy Richard Burriss, and fatally wounding John Hall, a deputy sheriff. The negroes are: Marshall Stineback. Edward Stineback. Jim Stineback. These brothers created a disturb ance at a religious meeting near Tip tonville, Saturday night, and when the two officers attempted to arrest them a fight ensued, the negroes coming out victorious and made their escape. It was barely daylight Sunday morning before a posse of citizens from Tiptonville and the surround ing country were in pursuit of the negroes, and they were surrounded and captured in a little swamp near the village of Ridgeley. The vicin ity i3 known as the "old river bed cane brake" and it is difficult to trace man or beast through its tan gles. The negroes were quickly landed in jail at Tiptonville. The news of their capture spread rapidly to the surrounding territory and in addition to the several hundred members of the posse and in the vicinity began arriving by road, and soon the jail was surrounded by a mob which later did the work. fer another man fer Preserdent who would not promise ter hev mush an' milk fer his supper at least eight months out ov twelve after he gits in the White House an' thus Insure a wise an faithful administration. But, after takin the seckond thought, I'll not do hit, fer hit would be jist like the dymakrat party ter hunt erround an' put a man on the next Preser- dential ticket who iz opposed ter mush an' milk an' run a resolution in the platform makin' a sweepin' attack on mush an' milk az an ar tickle ov food, an' then I'd hev ter give up eatin' hit or bolt the ticket, neither ov which I am jvillin' ter do.

He said that that township would have given him (Smith) about one hundred majority. He further al leges that in Yancey.

Commencing about a month ago, and continuing for ten days, the outbreak of fires in the city, recur ring with alarming frequency, kept the firemen working overtime. In cendiarism was . suspected, and the police kept a close lookout for the culprits. An unsuccessful attempt to burn a saloon at the corner of Montlcello Avenue and Washington Street yes terday afternoon was followed by the arrest of three boys. Sampel Epstein, who Is but six years old, without fear, told Police Captain Ford and Fire Chief Mc Laughlin of how his brother Teddy, five years old, started a fire at the corner of Monticello Avenue and Washington Street that destroyed the life of an infant and burned build ings which, with their contents, were valued at $34,550, on October 19th and 20th.

Who Know Him Best Say II Will Be an Efficient and Indepen dent Con greswinian Tin? Big lie publican Gain In North Carolina Was Not the Result of lite State OrganizationThe ReceiversJUp of the Industrial News. Special to The Caucasian. Washington. D. C, Nov. 23, 190S. The Capitol is already beginning to fill with Representatives and Sena tors for tho opening of Congress Nearly every one has some special view as to the political situation and a different reason as to why it hap pened or did not happen. A number have brought back some fresh politi cal stories and incidents of the cam paign that are always interesting. Taft and Cannon. The chief question of serious dis cussion, however, is just what kind of tariff revision there should be and as to whether or not President-elect Taft and Speaker Cannon can agree, and if they do agree, will Taft yield to Cannon or will Cannon yield to Taft, and if so, how much, and vlce versa. Following this phase of the situation, comes always the live-wire of inquiry, If they do not agree will Taft fight Cannon; and if so, will he beat Cannon for Speaker, and if he does, beat Cannon, will he disrupt the House so that he will secure less reform than if he had compromised with Cannon? Of course, at this stage all of this discussion Is preliminary and specu lative. The knowing and thoughtful ones say that Cannon will, of course, have to come to the terms of the Re publican platform promises, or that Taft will have to oppose him. But if Cannon will be no more than any other member of the House, Is what they say, and such has been the ex perience of the past. Some Interesting Storie9 From North Carolina. There have been a number of North Carolinians in Washington during the past week, and some of them have talked quite freely, giving some most interesting stories of political situa tions and evelopments during the last campaign. Practically every Repub lican outside of the close corporation of the patronage machine has stated that it Is the general belief in the State that if the State Chairman had been competent for his job and had run an intelligent and vigorous cam paign, that the State would have gone Republican, not only giving the elec toral vote of the State to Taft for President, but also electing Cox for Governor. Several have come armed with figures showing that the change of less than enough votes which were necessary to elect Cox, distributed in the close counties, would have made the Legislature Republican, and this view seems to be very reasonable. One thing seems to be certain, and that is that the great Republican gain in North Carolina was not the result of the State organization but resulted in spite of it. The Election of Morehead. One of the most interesting stories is about the election of John Motley Morehead for Congress In the Fifth District. It seems to be the general opinion that in the first place More- head would not have been permitted to get the nomination if Adams and his clique had supposed there was any chance of his election, and an other thing is that Chairman Adams not only did nothing to help elect him, but was the most astonished man In the State when he found he was elected. Another story is that Morehead and his managers knew that 'they could expect no help from the State organization to know .what they were doing. The Intimation is that they feared that somebody might try to put a spider in the ointment. Of course, it will be just like Adams now, since Morehead ia elected, to attempt to claim the credit for it and to attempt to have some influence and control over him; but those who know Morehead best feel satisfied that he will not only be an efficient and Independent Congressman, but will exercise his influence against the old blighting referee system and fa vor a progressive policy of building up the party and carrying the whole State. The Daily Industrial News. Another story Is to the effect that the State machine has been long fig uring In what way It could most gracefully discontinue the Daily In dustrial News .without being charged with direct responsibility for wreck ing the paper. ttt is said that they taade no serious and successful ef fort to have the paper grow In circu latlon and ..Increase its advertising business, but that they deliberately allowed the paper to run its adver tising list to less than half what it formerly was and Its advertising bus iness to wain and then assessed post masters and other Federal officers sufficient money to keep It going un til tb catnpi-iftt vas orer. and that one of the rraaoos that Adam s petted ta sir to show that fee wast 4 to eonti&tt the paper tu lb heay aasesaraeeu km pat apoa a Federal office-holders to p it fo- let It jraa remarked by aa observant and Intelligent Reputllcaa ta dis cussing this matter that, if there had been any honest desire to male th Daily 1 lid as trial Neva a ssccesa aad to keep it going, with a Utile well directed effort ia pushing lu circuit tlon aad advertising bailees through a period wha there were such great gain coming naturally aad la pUe of no organised effort to bring Utera to the party, that the paper's circu lation could have beea Increased to a greater point than efer la it history The fact that this was not done ehow two things: first, that the State organization as not Irving to do anything to make the State Repub lican; and. seeood. that they were not trying to do anything to build up and establish the paper as a suc cess; and it may be said, show third ly, that the paper actually had no effective part in making these Re publican gains, for If it had its cir culation would have been increased instead of diminished during the campaign. Another Republican observed that if the State organization had not wanted to wieck the paper they would never have permitted It to have gone into the hands of a re ceiver, for it is well-known that such action would have at once had a bad effect upon its finances. Another Re publican, who was present during this conversation, suggested that probably it was the purpose of the organization to reorganize the paper, freeze out all of the stockholders, and buy in the hands of a few of that coterie. If this view should be cor rect, then it is clear that some big fund has been raised from some where to run the paper as a person al organ; because every one knows that the paper can not be run suc cessfully unless it is run as a broad. progressive paper, fighting primarily for the advancement of Republican principles and the success of the Re publican party. It 'is perfectly clear to any one who knows about the political situa tion in North Carolina or about the newspaper business that if the man agement of the campaign in North Carolina had been in competent hands that had desired to win that not only could the State have been carried Republican at this time but that the Industrial News could have been put on a paying basis at the same time. SHOT HIM IN THE DARK. Bravery of Mrs. Maude Foams ter, Who Found a Burglar in Her Room at Night. Spencer, N. C, Nov. 20. "If you make a noise I will kill you," were the words that greeted Mrs. Maude Feamster in the darkness of her home near East Spencer last night when she discovered a burglar in her room.

Washington D. C Nov. II.- The wording of the Government's ptutloa for writ of certiorari ta the X9,sa,. 000 Standard Oil Company ease Jthlca to-day was filed ta the Supreme Co art of the United States, indicate that the Department of Juctic Is fully aware of the Court' practice of denying 90 per cent of such petitions. The Co art grants these petitions only when con stitutional questions are Involved, and the Attorsey-Gensral makes strong effort to have It appear that the present ease falls wilhla this category. Four reasons for the issuance of the writ are given, as follows: (1) Tt Is highly desirable ta the public interest and to promote jus tice in the farther prosecution and final determination of this particular case considered in and by Itself. (2) It is Indispenslble for tbe in struction and advice of tbe Govern ment in the intelligent administra tion and enforcement of the laws In volved. S) It Is necessary for the control and guidance of tbe Federal Courts In disposing of similar cases now ao tually pending, or likely to arise, la the near future. (4) Tbe Issue of the writ is neces sary also In order that the business community and the people at large may be Informed and advised as to the meaning of the law by the Judg ment of this Court. "Whether," says the petition In urging the granting of the writ, "the Government Is. or Is not. right In Its contentions, we respectfully, but very earnestly, urge that tbe court should issue the writ. The case is of the first consequence. The principles de cided control the entire meaning and purpose of the law and impair the underlying policy of Congress. f. for example. It la necessary that tbe Gov ernment should prove actusl knowl edge by the shipper of the lawful rate, the law will be altogether de prived of effect sgalnst the very ship pers who violate It In the view of the Goyernment it Is extremely Im portant that the law should be deter mined and expounded now, at this stage of the present case, by this court." ."It.", the Attorney-General says, will not , be seriously contended by this as a criminal case the Court of Appeals would have no right to cer tify any question raised upon this record," and the contention is made If the case could properly be trans ferred from the lower to the higher court by means of certification. It can just as properly be brought tip by means of a srrlt from the higher court. The Attorney-General also takes the position that the Supreme Court Is vested by law with authority to order any case of which authority to order any case of which a Circuit Court of Appeals has final Jurisdic tion to be brought up by certiorari and to determine It la tbe same manner as if it had been taken up on appeal or writ of error by the de fendant NEGRO BEAT TO DEATTL Nash County Fanner Berioaaly ln Jured by Tenant.
