The Caucalan says: "Senator Carmack, who was shot by the Cooper in Tennessee, must bare had a prophetic eye to the prog ress of event in the county of Wake. North Carolina, when hs wrote: "The leopard and the lamb lying down together, the spider and the fly becoming boon companions, soda and vinegar remaining quiet In the same bottle, oil and water mingling to gether.' All this and then some more; but could he have Imagined Joscphua Daniels and Nicholas De Boy Bitting side by side, or Bart Gat ling and George Hunter playing pol itical ring-around-rony? Joe said that Nick 'stole votes when he could not buy them, and George said Dart 'cheated and stole votes and would re-sort to any crime to carry his point.' "Isn't it a beautiful spectacle? nut what can one expect when Daniels takes to his bosom the man he called a 'mountebank and J. William Bailey gets under the same bed-spread with the man he denounced as a "political charlatan and liar,' Josephus Daniels? "Doesn't that almost render the word 'inconsistent' obsolete and erase tho word 'incompatible from the pages of the dictionaries? An accu rate knowledge of the Wake situation would make Senator Gore's speech good for at least one more hour in length, and would insure for him the Democratic nomination fo President" rime of High Cost of Liviigi &S4 by State Cfeetstkm C.rrniwru. .ttvtl fata.

We are publishing on the front psge a letter from Mrs, Marion But ler to Dr. Kemp I Battle, Chapel Hill, N. C, aad Dr. Battle's reply also a letter from Mrs. Bntler to the Charlotte Observer, wfiic the Ob server refused to publish. These let ters turn on the light and show be yond all doubt that these bonds were issued and sold by Democrats, that the proceeds from the sal of tfcos bonds were ued in the con struction of the Western Noith Caro lina Railroad. The State seceired every penny theo bonds brought unless it was stolem by Democratic officials who were managing the Western North CarcQna Railroad at that time, but as they were aJl gentlemen ojf honor and character we take it that every penny was properly used fn the con structlen of the above-named rail road. If this is true, and Dr. Battle say it is, thea it is an honest debt and the State should pay It. "It seems the great Sfrate of North Carolina which we all love so much, through her Democratic officials re pudiated her own obligations, after she had received one hundred cents on the dollar for every ne of these bonds. Any one after reading Dr. Battle's letter to Mrs. Marion Butler who would say that North Carolina ought not to have paid those bonds rs not an honest man. Now why did the Democrats make so much noise and hurl so much abuse at Mr. Butler, It 7as simply because he Is a Republi can ana tney iearea mm, tnen as they do now, and they wanted to destroy him and did not hesitate to circulate all manner of lies against him, but "truth crushed to earth will rise again" Senator Butler has "come back" and the people are with him, but "all liars shall have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone." Anti-Ring Ticket in Green County. Eastern Recorder. The Recorder feels very much elat ed over the many expressions we hear on the street corners about our coun ty ticket that our party nominated here a few days ago. To illustrate, we heard a gentleman that votes the Democratic ticket mostly tell one of the Democratic nominees that he had heard of five Democrats that was going to vote for one of our nominees and that in the same neighborhood It matters not what your party af filiations have been in the past, you can vote the anti-ring ticket in Green County this year solely to beat the court-house ring crowd and to get our county in better condition financially. If you love your county come to her rescue now. Vote the anti-ring ticket in Greene County and thereby free Greene County from the iron hand of a few Democratic cross-roads would - be leaders. You owe it to your chil dren to vote for clean politics in Greene County, and a vote for the consolidated ticket means that every man shall have an equal show. Jut before the adjournment of the lat Congress the Democratic lead er got themselves together to search for a new Democratic paramount for the coming campaign. In thU connection, it will be remembered that the Democratic party has gotten In the habit of having a paramount In each campaign, but after being so overwhelmingly defeated time after time it has been forced to change this paramount at erery succeeding campaign. The New Democratic Paramount. The new paramount which the Democratic leaders hatched up this time was to be called "the crime of the high cost of living," and this crime was to be charged up to the Republican party, and especially to the tar iff. After these great statesmen ot. negation and incompetency had decid ed on their paramount, they got busy to make campaign speeches before the adjournement of Congress and denounce the great crime of high prices. They even went so far as to demand that a Congressional com mittee be appointed to Investigate and report upon this high cost of llv ng and to fix the responsibility where it belonged. Their request was readily acceded to by the Republicans in Congress, md a committee was at once appointed, having placed on it a number of he leading Demorats who had been most vigorous in their denuncla ion of the great evils of the high cost of living and the crime for which he Republican party and the tariff were denounced as responsible. Senator Simmons Placed on the Committee. Among the persons placed on this committee was Senator Simmons, of North Carolina. When the appropriation bill came up a little later, pro viding money to pay the expenses of this committee, some of the same Democratic statesmen who had discovered this new mare's nest, which they called their new paramount, took fright and opposed the appropria tion of the money to pay the expenses of the committee, on the ground that they were opposed to voting away the peoples' money to make cam paign material for the Republican party. Among those who took this po sition was Senator Overman, of North Carolina. Simmons Takes Cold Feet. Soon after this Senator Simmons took "cold feet" and appealed to the Senato to excuse him from serving on the committee, and gave as his rea son that his health was not sufficient to perform his duty. It has often been remarked since, that if the high cpg of Mving were such a crime that it was to Be made a Democratic paramount in this campaign, then Senator Simmens' highest duty to the people of his State and to the country w as to serve on this committee, and tha if his heaBu was not sufficient to perform this service, which was the most important service conneted with his office as Senator, that then he owed it to his State to resign and let some man with more heaKh serve the State. Why Simmons' Health Suddenly Failed. The cold facts are that Senator Simmons soon found staring him in the face snch appalling, facts that would come out as a result of this investi gation, and that is what eaiised him to take "cold feet" and have a audlen attach of ill health. Some of these facts are as follows: A 500-lb bale of cotton in 1896, under Cleveland's administration, would buj; 300 lbs of coffee. A 500-lb bale of cotton in 1910 under Taft's administration, will buy 850 lbs. of coffee. Again, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 189 6, under Cleveland's administra tion would buy 800 lbs. of sugar. And, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1910, under Taft's administration, will buy 1,500 lbs. sugar.. 4 Again, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1896, under Cleveland's administra tion, would buy 178 gallons of molasses. 1 And, a 500-lb bale of eotton in 1910, tfnder Taft's administration, will buy 263 gallons of molasses. . r Again, a 500-lb bale of cotton im 1896, under Cleveland's administra tion, would buy 217 yards of bleached sheeting. And, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1910, under Taft's administration, will buy 286 yards of bleached sheeting. Again, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1896, under Cleveland's administra tion, would buy 711 yards of sheeting (brown). And, a 500-R) bale of cotton in 1910, under- Taft's administration, will buy 907 yards of sheeting (brown). Again, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1896, under Cleveland's administra tion, would buy 17 pairs of men's vici kid shoes. And, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1910, under Taft's administration, will buy 27 pairs of men's vici kid shoes. Again, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1896, under Cleveland's administra tion, would buy 355 gallons of kerosene oil. And. a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1910, under Taft's administration, will buy 640 gallons of kerosene oil. Again, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1896, under Cleveland's administra tion, would buy 1,304 lbs. of nails (8-penny) . And, a 500-lb bale of cotton in 1910, under Taft's administration, will buy 4,064 lbs. of nails (8-penny). Now, we submit, that if there is any voter in North Carolina who agrees with the Democratic politicians that this is a bad condition of af fairs, that then he should vote the Democratic ticket and go back to the conditions under the Cleveland administration. On the other hand, every voter who is pleased with the above facts and with present conditions, will fail to perform his duty to his wife and children and his country unless he votes to continue Republican protec tion and prosperity.

A redemption of more pledge than were ever attained before by a single Congress. A record of economy and advances legislation never before equalled ii the same length of time. Wouldn't it seem wise to continue the Republi can party In power? What the Democratic party did the last time it was in power: Senator T. P. Gore, Democrat, of Oklahoma, in a speech delivered it Dallas, Texas, la 1896, said: "The trouble with the Democratic party is it is a party of statesmen without statesmanship, patriots with out patriotism, heroes, without hero Ism. Their policy begets farmer without farms; laborers without labor, freemen without freedom. "The Fifty-second Congress had Democratic majority of 148, and if it redeemed a single pledge, observed a single promise, kept a single com mand, or discharged a single obliga tion made to the people of tbe Unit ed States I will quit the stump and work of that commission to business men, and ask them to contrast the Republican attitude on this issue with that ot the Democratic party, which while loudly crying out against exist ing evils, offers no plan of its own for reform, but contents Itself with opposing, like the proverbial dog In the manger, every specific suggestion that is made. On all the great national issues our party has proved Its competence to manage the government by adopt ing policies which all men caa under stand. Our opponents, by their fail ure to agree uppn any clear program of action, have proved their unreadi ness and unfitness for the trust. They are not even agreed on the tariff! issue, on which they have chosen to make their campaign. Some are for self government and we denounce the successive betrayals of that principle by our opponents, who long vaunted themselves its champions. We demand that our Judiciary, and particularly our higher courts, shall be kept above the atmosphere of par tisan politics, and that the judicial ermine shall never be conferred as s reward for mere political service. The sole test of fitness for judicial honors and duties should be professional eminence and ability and exalted character. Believing, as we do, that in State and nation alike the policies for which our party stands are right aad wise, we invite all patriotic citizens, whatever their party affiliations in the past, to join with us la support ing them. We believe that in the moderate protection, some are free 5 South particularly, it is of the first traders, some are high protectionists in disguise, some are for free raw material, some are against free raw materials.

Turning to the affairs of our own State, we have no need to juggle with words in order to conceal a lack of convictions, or to make use of fat uous platitudes, after the fashion of our opponents. On what jnay he called the permanent issues, we need hardly do more than repeat the plain language of our own platform of two years ago, on which we won so great an increase of support from the peo ple. We repeat our declaration in favor of the most liberal policy con cerning education that the State's re sources will permit. Our children must all have the opportunity to ob tain a good public school education.
