"TTTr L-4 1 ,. V j ' X 1 M ' VOL. XXVII. RALEIGH, N. C THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1909. No. 35 EDITORIAL BRIEFS The "Ice man" is in it no longer. How would you like tobe an artlc explorer? As this is not campaign year, you a ill hear nothing of the penitentiary surplus this fall. Now that Dr. Frederick Cook has discovered the North Pole, what does hit propose to do with it? Dr. Cooke says the North Pole is about, the size of a quarter. So it isn't much of a Pole after all. We are waiting to hear from the Charlotte Observer wasn't Dr. Cook or Admiral Peary born in North Car olina? The American flag is now floating over the North Pole and it will be a cold day when any other country hauls it down. They have pulled off a real circus In Greensboro's auditorium. That Is probably a bid for the next Demo cratic State Convention. If the Democrats can stand the civil service examination they may yet get some census pie in the De partment at Washington. . It will be noticed that Bryan wait ed until Cleveland was dead before suggesting that the party adopt some of Cleveland's policies. While they are discussing the mat ter, we would like to know if a Dem ocratic editor, who never supported Bryan, is a real Democrat? We can forgive Cook and Peary for discovering the North Pole if they just won't go on the lecture plat form or the Vaudeville stage. If the Democratic politicians would promise to reduce taxes it would In terest the voters more than the Dem ocratic harangue over the tariff, The News and Observer claims that Dr. Cook is a Democrat. Come to think about it, he has made some wild and questionable assertions. Wonder if "Old Loblolly" and "Old Molasses," and "Old Hides" will be permitted to assist in framing the next National Democratic platform? Dr. Frederick Cook will now have to divide honors with Peary. It is to be hoped there is glory enough for both and that there will be no blood shed. A flock of geese got drunk in Greensboro Thursday night from drinking fermented grape pulp. It seems impossible to enforce prohibi tion in Greensboro. The Winston Journal says that the people would vote for Democrats if they will guarantee real revision. But some one would have to guarantee the Democrats first. The Durham Herald says that Mr. Bryan is another man who has little use for a platform that will not win. And have you noticed that some Democrats are at last losing faith In a candidate that cannot win. The fish committee appointed by the last Legislature, liked their trip East this summer so well that they have decided to make the same trip again this fall. The State foots the bills. The Durham Herald says if the party gets back to a Cleveland plat form a large part of it will have a good deal to swallow. Very true. But if the politicians thought the offices were to be theirs, don't you suppose they could do the swallow ing act without even blinking their eyes. Speaking of the recent Democratic primary in Virginia, the Wilmington Star says: "The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot tells us that the combined ex penses of Messrs. Mann and Tucker in their contest for the Governorship of Virginia 'slight ly exceed $26,000.' At that price the Governorship of a State gets entirely beyond the ambition of a man who hasn't money enough justify such lofty aspira tions." That is a high price to pay for a job as Servant V, t -rr-i the Democratic nomination in this wot over rorty thousand dol 1 Q TO n J.1 . . , auu me Virginians did about as much mud-slinging as the Tar Hee Democrats and for less money. XATIOXAL AID FOB CONFEDER ATE SOLDIERS. Chief Justice Clark Favors the Prop osition Such a Kill Was Intro duced In the Senate liy Senator JJutler Rut Was Opposed Hjr South ern Politicians. The Lincolnton Times. Chief Justice Clark in his address at Charlotte is quoted as advocating giving pensions to the Confederate soldiers by the Federal Government. Why not? Does not the South pay its part of the pension money given by this Government? Do not the sons and grandsons of this South land form as patriotic citizens as sons of the Union soldiers? If the United States is the Government of all the people, why may not all of the aged veterans of each side be treated alike?. Catawba County Nwa. And to this entiment we heartily agree. But we will remind The News that in all probability every Confed erate veteran in the South would have been drawing a Federal pension fifteen years past had it not been for the opposition of the Democratic pol iticians of the South. Hon. Marion Butler, while he was in the United States Senate, intro duced a bill to pension Confederate veterans alike with Union soldiers. The bill was in a fair way of passing, but the Democracy of the South, both in and out of Congress, opposed the offer, saying, the Southern soldiers were not beggars, and did not want "Yankee money." This is history. And yet the Democratic party.coddles the old soldier for his vote, and would have him believe that it Is his friend, while if they had not opposed the passage of this law the Confed erate veterans of to-day would be re ceiving a pension equally substantial with their brothers who wore the blue; instead of getting a beggarly pittance, in the procuring of which he has to humble himself before these very "politicians who prevented him from getting the Federal pen sion, and acknowledge that he is not capable of earning three hundred dol lars a year. We say, away with such friendship. Let the Democratic pol iticians alone and quit being used as a tool for their own selfish end. Be men and arise in your might and say, "We will take the pension" when it is offered again, as it most surely will be in the near future. The reason for the Democratic pol iticians spurning the offer of Federal pensions to Confederate veterans was not because they thought the veter ans would humble themselves in re ceiving them. Their true objection was that if the Southern veterans were put on an equal footing with the veterans of the North it would break down the sectional feeling, on which they have traded for forty-four years, and the Democratic party would lose votes. This is the true milk in the cocoanut. Confederate Pensions. Kinston Free Press. We quite agree with the sugges tion made by Chief Justice Clark, and endorsed by Prof. Joseph Kinsey, in Saturday's Free Press, that the for mere Confederate soldier should now share in the nation's pension bounty. We do not know how many mil lions of dollars are spent for pen sion money; but the sum is enormous and the South is being called upon year by year to contribute about one third of this tremendous sum of trib ute money. It is not right that the South should do this. In this respect the South is being treated as a sub jected nation. Did Mr. Glenn Visit the Best Fam ilies? The Richmond Journal. Governor Glenn's declaration that he suffered a severe shock at the manner in which ladies become in? toxicated in the best homes in Chi cago and encouraged the children to drink liquor has stirred the "Windy City" to its foundation. The Record-Herald asks did Gov ernor Glenn really visit the beet families, and calls for a show-down. Another paper declares that if Gov ernor, Glenn really entered the homes of the best families, accepted their hospitality and then denounced the conditions found under their roofs, he violated the traditions of the Southern gentlemen. Nevertheless, the Governor's estimate that Chicago is a disgrace to civilization still stamds. Young Spencer Man Turns Burglar. Spencer, N. C, Sept. S. Charged with burglary, Fred Glossom, aged 22 years, well known here, was placed in Rowan jail, to-night to await trial in the Rowan Superior Court. At 1 o'clock this morning J. I.

COOK IN DENMARK Discoverer of the North Pole Given a Grand Reception by the King. TAFT SENDS CONGRATULATIONS Thousands of People Give Dr. Cook Ovation Says He Has Proof That Would Convince the Most Skeptic That He Reached the North Pole Explorer Relates Some Harrowing Experiences of His Adventure Was Accompanied by Two Es quimaux. Copenhagen, Sept. 3. All Den mark tonight is awaiting the arrival of Dr. Frederick A. Cook. A regal welcome awaits the man whose an nouncement from Lerwick, on Sep tember 1, that he had discovered the North Pole startled the entire civil ized world. Copenhagen, Sept. 5. Dr. Freder ick A. Cook dined this evening with King Frederick at the summer palace a few miles outside of Copenhagen. The King summoned Dr. Cook to an audience yesterday as a formal cour tesy. They engaged in an hour's talk and while these royal audiences cannot, according to etiquette, be minutely described by the members of the court. Dr. Cook made such an impression upon the King that his majesty Immediately instructed the court chamberlain to summon the ex plorer to dine with him tonight. The King invited Dr. Cook to meet him yesterday only after having the government make the closest possible investigation into the merits of his story. All the Danish explorers were asked to give their opinions of -Dr. Cook's claims before the audience was granted, and their verdict was unanimously in his favor. President Sends Congratulations. Beverly, Mass., Sept. 4. As the head of the nation, President Taft put his seal of approval on the achievement of Dr. Cook, the discov erer of the north pole. In a fifty- word dispatch the President heartily congratulated Dr. Cook, thereby at testing before all the world his faith in the report which the explorer brings back from the frozen north. The President's dispatch to Dr. Cook was sent in reply to one re ceived this afternoon officially and formally reporting to the President his success. Relates Some Experiences. Paris, Sept. 5. A special dispatch from Copenhagen gives Dr. Cook's version of further incidents of his expedition to the pole, when there remained but two valiant and faith ful Eskimos as an escort as he plung ed over the vast extent of Polar seas. On approaching the pole he said the cy plain took on animated motion as if rotating on an invisible pivot. 'A great fissure then opened up behind," he added, "and it seemed as if we were isolated from the world. My two Eskimos threw them selves at my feet and bursting into tears, refused to continue either one way or another, so paralyzed were they with fear. Nevertheless, I calmed them- and we resumed our ourney. "You ask my impression on readi ng the pole? Let me confess I was disappointed. Man is a child dream- ng of prodigies. I had reached the pole, and now at a moment when I should have been thrilled with pride and joy I was invaded with a sudden fear of the dangers and sufferings of the return." Provisions Gave Out Twice. Copenhagen Sept. 4. Dr. Cook has made the "'following statement about his experiences: 'I have been to the north pole and have brought back the most exact ob servations absolutely proving my statement. I kept a diary through out the entire expedition in which. I recorded the most minute details. "It was not my intention at the start to proceed to the pole; I was merely on an arctic excursion. But as I found conditions favorable I continued on to the pole. "I" discovered two hitherto un known islands. "We missed the depots which had previously been established, but we came accidentally upon one of Mel ville's depots, where we found pro visions and Instruments in an excel lent state of preservation. . "Owing to the smallness of my ex pedition our requirements were not large. For the same reason we were able to proceed most quickly. As I approached the pole the esquimaux with me became utterly frightened at the "meteorological condition. "On the return trip the provisions became exhausted. No animal life was visible and for three days we had nothing to eat. Then, in a crevice of the ice we caught sight of several walruses. They saved our lives. "Then we broke up the sledges and the Esquimaux fashioned pieces of wood into spears and bows and ar rows, and. secured game with these arms. . "Again, near Cape, York, we were virtually starving to death when we found a young seal sleeping on the ice and killed it. At Cape York we found many traces of the mask ox and killed a number of them. ' "I left a small bra? tube bearing the message of my success beneath the flag." Cook could only secure an en trance into the Phoenix Hotel by passing through an adjoining build ing. Women and girls carrying flowers pelted him with roses. At one time he was nearly suffocated by the flood of flowers which poured in upon him. Admiral Peary Says He, t8o. Has Discovered the Pole. New York, Sept. 6.

BILKINS IN INDIA A Great Big Country Where Riches and Poverty Reaches Extremes MAJESTY OF HER MOUNTAINS Her Mighty Rivers The Major Favors Strong Navy and Tell Why How England Got Charge of India An Empire With 40O States and Three Hundred Million People The Real Rulers Cal cutta is m Modern City A Great National Museum A Giant Ban yan Tree Characteristics of a Strange People. Correspondence of The Caucasian Enterprise. Calcutta, India, Aug. 28, 1909. India iz one ov the great big coun tries ov the world so far az popula tion goes. An hit iz a great country in a way. The people air very smart an' very ignorant. It iz a country where great wealth abounds an' where extreme poverty iz the pre vailing evil; where a few ov the people air smarter than lightning an' the masses do not know anything worth knowin". Dr. Alexander Duff once sed: "No other realm in the East can present such a varied assemblage of rare combinations of objects and qualities fitted to attract and arrest the eye. "Who can describe the majesty of her mountains? Her plains are well-nigh illimitable. Her mighty rivers issuing from the everlasting hills, pour their waters into two oceans. There is indescribable charm about' her cities, teeming with life, the life of the Orient, where prince and beggar, palace and hut are in strange juxtaposition." So you see me an' the learned doc tor nearly agree. The main differ ence iz that I told hit awl in a few plain North Carolina words while th educated traveler gouged out sev eral pages ov a dictionary an' then wound up with a word that looks like a late addition to a French bill ov fare. But the worst ov awl, he quit rite then an' there. I am goln' to tell you something erbout India, somethin' you probably didn't know. India la bounded on one side by the waters ov the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. She iz joined by an' near to the boundaries ov China, Russia and Arabia. The country iz divided by historians into four parts: Eastern India, Hindu India, Moham medan India, and Western India. But hit iz awl India. An India an' awl her riches an' her three hundred milions ov people awl belong to Eng land, a little spot ov ground a long distance away that contains a popu lation ov about forty millions. If the people ov India had been az smart az the English; if they had owned a great aavy and a great army, India would be a free and an' ndependent country today. But we hev a large number ov cranks in the United States who oppose an army, who detest a strong navy. They would hev us stand with our hands tied an' allow some greedy foreign power to come in an' plant a flag on our shores that would forever put the stars ai' stripes out ov business an' fasten upon us a government that might be, an' probably would be, far worse than what we now hev. Away with opposition to a strong navy! Political fools an' Ignorant fools should leave such matters to men with brains. Two-thirds of the editors an' politicians ia the United States who rant an' fuss erbout an' oppose a good navy don't know the difference between a warship an' a keg of mackeraL A lot ov them discuss perlitical .matters an' even international affairs when they don't know what county lies next to the county they happen to live in. The English got a foothold in In dia durin the year 1600. A com pany called the "East India Com pany" wuz formed ia England and that company got awl that hit want ed in the way of special privileges. Hit gradually dickered with the rulers ov India until the company had awl hit wanted. In "protecting the rights ov her citizens the English government gradually got military control ov the entire domain. India iz now divided into 460 States," the largest, Hyderabad, havin a population ov eleven mil Hons ov people. Each ov these States Iz ruled by a native prince. But az in ether English-governed ter ritory throughout the world, English men air behind the whole business an the native rulers air only jump- in'-jacks who dance when the strings air pulled. The real ruler ov India today air the Earl of Minto, who iz now the Viceroy. He iz a brainy man: a thorough Englishman. He iz assisted by Governor Frazer, the chief executive of the province of Bengal, by Governor La Touch, chief executive ov the United Provinces ov Agra and Oudth, with Governor Lam ington, chief executive ov the Bom bay presidency, which comprises three ov the largest States in India. In addition, many other lesser of ficials assist in adminlsterin' govern ment affairs in India, awl ot which - (Continued oa Pace J.) TRIED TO KILL TWO AGED WO MEN. Keeper of lnoir County Home on a Ham page. Kinston, N. C. Sept. 3. -Shortly after noon to-day Br. C. R. Turner, the keeper of the Coutay Home. made a murderous assault upon two old white women who were inmates of the Home, shooting at them with a 3 2 -calibre pistol. Mrs. Board, one of the women assaulted, was hit in the left breast, the ball entering above the heart, and pawing through the breast, came out on the left side, in flictlaj; but a slight wound. It seems that Turner became en raged at the two old women, both of whom are over seventy years of age, because of their leaving the Home yesterday without permission, it was also said that they have nag ged at him ever since his taking charge of the institution. About 2 o'clock to-lay he went to Mrs. Evans room, broke down the door and shot at her. The ball, horn ever, missed and lodged in the wall. Turner then went out of the house and around to the window of Mrs. Board's room and shot at her through the window, the ball pene trating her left breast. When last seen. Turner was going up the road from the Home cursing, shouting and acting like a crazy man. Turner was arrested at 6 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Hartsfield and was arraigned before Magistrate Peebles, who placed him under a $250 bond for his appearance to-morrow at 2 o'clock. SEABOARD MACHIXST STRIKE. Men in the Portsmouth Shops Object to Non-Unionists Railway Author ities Claim That Machinist Did Not Live Up to Agreement. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 2. Machinists at the Seaboard Air Line Railway's general shops at Portsmouth have struck because of the alleged employ ment of non-unionists. The black smiths In the shops have also gone out on a sympathetic strike. Seaboard officials say that the only non-unionists employed were two boys who learned their trade with the road; that the strikers failed to comply with agreements to have all such differences taken up and settled through their grievance committee, with headquarters at Savannah, Ga., and consequently their places will be filled by others. It is stated officially that forty-six per cent of the machinists and all but six blacksmiths have struck. Later. The railroad and the strik ers nave settled their differences through a grievance committee and the machinists have returned to work. The two non-unionists whose employment caused the strike, are to continue at work and the shops will employ both union and non-union men. HIS SHOES TORN BY LIGHTNING.

Turner is a native of Grover, N. C, Is twenty-two years of age, and is of a good family. He accepted his sentence without complaint. Senator Tillman and Mileage. Greenville (S. C.) News. According to a newspaper report. Senator Tillman the other day got on a train in this State and offered mile age for transportation instead of a ticket. The ticket collector told him (Tillman) that be was not allowed to pull mileage, whereupon Senator Till man told the collector that he had paid his money for the mileage and he was going to ride on It. Following public utterances of Senator Tillman recently in which he virtually defies the authority of the railroads to require the exchange of mileage for a ticket before a passen ger boards a train, tbe act above re cited is a distinct type of lawlessness and is well calculated to create dis order and damage to life and prop erty. Who is Senator Tillman that he should have the right to defy law and constituted authority? Is he any better than bis fellow-citizens that be should be allowed to commit acts that are unlawful?
