Wants the I tank and File to Hare Voice In Party Affairs. Editor of Caucasian: I notice in your last week's issue an article signed "Republican," against the political activity of Federal office holders, in which I heartily concur. and I say this not because I dislike or have anything against Federal of fice-holders, because I haven't, for many of them, in fact all of them 1 know, are my friends, I reckon, and are good fellows, but I think it would be better for the party in Wake County if they wouldn't have bo much to do with running conven tions and delegates, so as to keep the Democrats and their newspapers say ing so much about it and hurting our party with the independent voter as they have done in the past. Let the rank and file have some chance to see what they can do. Let them feel like they can have some part and lot in doing things. It will encourage them, too, to feel the res ponsibility to do something, and may be they will get out and bring a lot of new voters into the party, and and we will carry Wake County next time. There is a powerful good chance to do it this time if what the country people say is true, and lots of town folks too. Stand back, Fed eral office-holders, this time and give the fellows in the trenches a chance to do something, and encour age them all you can, and let's see what they will do. Respectfully, OLD SOLDIER REPUBLICAN. Raleigh, N. C. Must Create Some Offices for Demo cratic Pets. dren. Walter Carroll, white, of Johnston County, was Tuesday committed to jail by United States Commissioner John Nichols. He is charged with selling liquor and his hearing has 'been set for next Thursday.

Jim Chavis, colored, who lived about ten miles north of Raleigh, fell dead at the Union Station Satur day morning between 8:30 and 1 o'clock, while being taken home from the State Hospital for the Col ored Insane at Goldsboro, where he had been an inmate for sometime Mr. V.

Upon approaching the spot, the horse reared and fell dead. Before Justice Collins in Greens- Mr. Editor: I see that Joe-see- us seems to think that North Carolina is going solidly Democratic. What good news to him! yet you must remember he was not exactly under oath. He refers to the ap pointment of "yellow dogs" to Fed eral jobs. I guess the hit dog is now howling. How sadly disappoint ed, to think the Democrats are left out in the cold. They have given all their men some kind of reward except a few in the corners of the woods. When the anti-tuberculosis hospital is erected, that will pie a few more. Then next I guess we will have an Anti-grasshopper Associa tion, head by some good Democrat. And after they are all exterminated guess it will be like Anti-saloon eague. Bar-rooms an gone in North Carolina. No more liquor is sold, and yet Joe-see-for-ua gives space to a long letter from the Mr, Davis in regard to progress being made in North Carolina. That's right, keep up the fight, and may be some day the sale of liquor will be cut down some in your prohibition towns. Will some of our little Wil lies and Joe-see-for-us give us a re port on our good roads, and the cost of maintaining them, I guess the "high cost of living" is why it re quires so much taxes to do so smal an amount of work. And the Dem ocratic Babble says the G. O. P. is responsible for that. Good. So now let every man who wants cheap liv ing and low prices of farm products please stand up and remain unti they are counted. I can remember when the hind quarter of a fat ox would not bring as much per pound as a Harnett County bull will bring now on the Raleigh market. Farms are now for rent and sale to all who are tired of city life is ex tended an invitation to come out and pull the bell cord over a Kentucky mule for one summer and then "take a look at the books" of "high cost of living." Respectfully, A BOY WHO FOLLOWS THE PLOW "LETTEIiS F1SU31 UELL." Legislative-appointee inatUtxatea in certain counties of our State! These are named by lynx-eyed lawyer-politicians at the suggestion of the landlord class. Is not this local self-government with a vengeance! It was for local self-government that the standard of revolt was rai against King George the 3rd. We asked not for independence. but only for loeal self-government. Will not the people from Murphy to Manteo rise up again, and demand this much from commercial politi cians, exploiting the taxes of the peo ple, and from avaricious landlords wuh their appointee magistrates? 1 will give you a case in point. A young man from a near-by coun ty coming among us, rents a farm, in the course of the year he forms a friendship for a rosy-cheeked, black eyed, daughter of a landlord in one of the legislative magistrate appoint tee counties. This friendship ripens into a much stronger passion, and they were soon inseparable com panions at all public functions. The old landlord was inexorable. At last the brave lover, in open daylight drives to the door of her father's home, and in plain view of the old gentleman, takes his daughter with him to receive a life sentence from the clergyman. After a time the father sends for this brave knight and says to him no need of your going off to rent land. I have a place near my home, naming the rent to be paid, you can have a3 long as you may want it, at the sum named, the rent to be paid promptly when due. The offer was gladly ac cepted and the next year he. moves in. Working from Monday morning until Saturday night, every day in the week and every hour in the day, he makes good on a crop of cotton, corn and other crops, such as had never been seen there before or since. Was it not love prompted that strong arm. to labor for that loved one Jho had given herself up into his keeping, against the wishes of her father, whom she had been taught always to obey. The old landlord had kept far away while the fight was on in making and sav ing the crop. When the cotton had been baled he sends for the tenant and says to him he would like to hip his cotton with his own if it would be agreeable to him. Think ing to please his wife and win over the father, he agrees to this arrange ment. Busy with his work he waits and then goes to the old gentleman and asks for a receipt for his rent, and for the balance due him. He was told he musTpay double the rent he agreed to pay him for the present year, and for all the years to come. That he had never thought such Republican Cwgrrtsioual Goramlt tee of Truth-Will Hold Convention April 2nd, Aaheville, Feb. 2C. At a ravel ing of tee Republican Executive Committee of the tenth Congress ional District her to-day, with a tall attendance of defegates, it was de cided to hold the convention for tht nomination of a candidate for Con gress on Saturday, April 2nd. A call was issued to all the counties of the district to hold conventions and appoint delegates at least by the middle of March. It was said to-day that the re nomination of Congressman John G. Grant will be made unanimous, as there has not been another active candidate spoken of. The members of the committee are of the opinion that the outlook for carrying the district is very bright. Congressman Grant has written Lo gan that at the convention he will have at least two speakers of nation al reputation. Sod4ea Death of G. Ik Aadcrwo. New York. March 2. George TL Andersen.

Hare's woodyard in Uayti, a suburban col ored settlement, late this evening, Haywood Cozart and Alexander, both colored, were instantly killed while operating the saw. The men were running the ma chinery and supplying the wood. Co zart, known as the best sawyer in Durham, pushed the wood too hard and it stalled the revolving instru ment. It operates by electricity and the force tore the shafting out. A piece of it struck Lyon across the head and killed him instantly. The broken saw flew to pieces and one of the teeth struck Cozart going al most through his head, though he lived a few minutes?" The heads of both were fearfully torn. Young Atkins Hopson had his clothes torn almost from him, but received small injusties only. Bruises that merely frightened him were in flicted, though he could give but an unintelligent account of the accident. Mr. W. IL Neal. Jr., Meet Accidental Death. Laarinbarg.-S. C. Feb. 21. The town of Laurinburg was thrown in to excitement this evening shortly before 7 o'clock, when it was learned that Mr. W. !!.

Bolt, picked up a twenty-two flobert rifle yesterday afternoon and pointing it at her sixteen-months'-old son, said, "I believe I'll shoot you," It was with the usual belief that the gun was not loaded, that caused her to pull the trigger. However, the gun was loaded and It fired, the ball striking the little fellow in the left eye, inflicting a wound that necessi tated the removal of the eye this morning. Had to Get Out of Lock-lp to Look After Ills Sunday School. Marshville Our Home. The drink habit gives rent to fun ny as well as ridiculous statements sometimes. A man went to a neigh boring town one Saturday a few weeks ago, got drunk and was placed in the "lock-up." Sunday morning he awoke and on finding himself In a sober condition, sent for a friend to come and get him out. But the friend didn't seem to be much In clined toward advancing any money on the matter, and the man who had only the day before felt himself so rich, but now realized that he was in a helpless condition, appealed to him like this: "I've just got to get out of this thing.
