Dougbton, of Alle ghaney County, who draft4 the Machinery Act which baa brought about such an Increase In the valuation of property, stated before the committee that be knew that the increase in taxes would be very unpopular with the people and furthar stated that he knew that this one act would cost the Demo cratic party several thousand votes in the State, but he said there was nothing else for thera to do, as the State was in dobt more than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and if they did not manage to collect this money from the tax-payers they would be forced to sell bonds to pay the running ex pense of the State. "Mr. Doughton admitted that it would be very unpopular with the people and that St would oowt the Iemocratic party sev eral thousand vote." Mr. Doughton has been Lieutenant Governor and is a prominent Demo- cratlc leader. In championing nisi . iu I proposition 10 increae me wiea "jtaKe aDout tue yeuyic wauuus scheme, he frankly told the Legisla- ture that they had to either increase the people's taxes or sell more bonds in order to meet the growing Demo- cratlc deficit. He admitted that to increase the taxes was an unpopular thing to do, but he told tho Legisla ture frankly that they must face the music, even though It was sure to mean "a loss of several thousand votes" to them. Why does Mr. Doughton suppose that there are only a few thousand emocrats who will have tho intelli- nce. patriotism and manhood lehuke.the Democratic party for ompetence and extravagance? t, Mr. Doughton's position flection upon the honest of the Democratic par- duct of the Democratic s to cause "a few thou it, pray why will there ousand or twenty thou- thousand equally as pa e few thousand referred oughton? more than fifty thousand ff the very best element of hocratic party have left it for lar causes, and we believe that iere are equally that many more who will do so in the near future for the same and additional and aggra vated causes. Indeed, why should anybody continue to stay in the Democratic-'party, except the .Democratic ring and those Democrats who are too ignorant to know or too preju diced to care whether or not the State has good government? Mr. Doughton's admission will put! 1 every honest and intelligent Demo- 1 1 . m . . I crat, wnen tney Know the lacts, to thinking. But how will these Demo- rrats e-p.t thps farts? Thov will nm: I er get them through the columns of the Raleigh News and Observer, or any such Democratic machine organ, Therefore we ask every reader of The COP7 t0 ms Democratic neighbor." In discussing Simmons' repudiation of the Democratic platform, the News and Observer says: "No two men and no dozen can repudiate the pledge contained in the National Democratic platform." Then every member in CongTess from this State, except Con gressman Kitchin, should resign. And, let's see, didn't even Congressman Kitchin offer to side-step his platform in order to have his party agree on the woolen schedule? Until recently South Carolina waa 1 tL a paradise for Gretna Greens. At' tfid not President Cleveland's Attor that time South Carolina did not re-, ne,vGeneral declare that he saw no quire any marriage license, but since wa? t0 indict aad convict the trusts a fee Jit one dollar is required for a,-,..und.er tne law?

Senator Lockhart closes his letter! with the following statement: "His (Governor Kitchin's) en tire attitude and course from the beginning to the end of the Gen eral Assembly were such as to strengthen the hands of those who defended the trusts and weaken the position of those who opposed them."

QUEER DEMOCRATIC LOGIC. The Waynesville Courier (Demo cratic) writes a long editorial com plaining that certain Republican newsnanera are nnintw with nr 10 lue iact inat in8 nall0nal "epubii-f can administration has been enforc- ing the Sherman anti-trust law against all of the big trusts, and that' the Supreme Court of. the United! States has been upholding the law and declarinS the trusts guilty. That paper proceeds to contend that the Republicans do not deserve much credit for enforcing the law, because 1 the Republicans were forced to in dict and prosecute, the trusts on ac count of the honest and wholesome agitation against trusts by the Demo cratic party. That editor seems bent upon mak- ing bimself and bis party ridiculous. was not this same Republican anti trust law on the statute books when Groyer Cleveland -was President, and iae J-emocrat8, the Governor, the Legislature and the Attorney-General?

THIS STATE HAS 1JEEX "OUT OF THE WOODS FOR FOUR YEARS." The following editorial appeared recently in the columns of the Char lotte Observer: "It is expected that United States District Judge J. H. Cot teral's decision against the Okla homa 'grandfather clause as un constitutional will have the ef fect of bringing the 'grandfath er clauses' of several Southern State constitutions before the United States Supreme Court for review. We wish them good luck, but at all events it is hard ly possible that North Carolina would become concerned. This State, in effect, got out of the woods four years ago." Thus it will be seen that the Char-! lotte Observer now takes exactly the- position that the Republicans in North Carolina took in the last cam paign when Senator Simmons and the other Democrtaic speakers charg-J ed that the North Carolina suffrage amendment was still open to attack. Senator Simmons charged on. ev ery stump that if the Republicans secured the Legislature and a Repub lican Supreme Court that they would have it in their power to attack, the constitutionality of the "grandfather clause." m reply,, the Republicans pointed to the fact that that clause was only operative up to 1908, and that . now the clause no longer being operative that Its constitutionality cpuld aot be successfully attacked. Let the people take note of this admission by the Charlotte Observer, for the Democratic machine will be sure to try revive the "nigger" question again. xjrn r.croi mn." .

LKTS THK CAT OUT OF THE BAG. The Ualeigh News and Observer has been constantly denying that it was the purpose of the last Legisla ture when providing for a re-assess-ment of property to increase taxes Now, however, since the assessments have been made, that paper has thrown off the mask and boldly ad mits that the whole purpose of the Democratic Legislature was to in crease taxes so as to raise money to meet the large Democratic deficit. The following is from the editorial columns of the News and Observer: "Johnston and Rockingham Counties believe in obeying the law and are increasing assess ments along the lines of the law the officers are sworn to obey. If the other counties do like wise, and the Corporation Com mission does as well in assess ing public service corporations, North Carolina will see no fur ther deficit in its treasury, the . next Legislature can reduce the State tax rate, and the counties can this year reduce the county tax rate. The prosperity of North Carolina should show on the tax books." The News and Observer has pub lished with great pleasure the crease of assessments of property in each county wherever the assess ments have been increased as much as a million or 'two million dollars. The other day, however, when it pub lished the fact that the assessors had increased the valuation of property I "? 38 the Confederate inMecldenburgtopnlytenpercentJIS bUt the em, that paper at once said that the i-i crease was not enough, and that thV o nt t i.uiers are now.... 7-00 Trousers are now 6.SO Trousers are now g.OO Trousers are now S.SO Trousers are now II J Coys finlckerbodcer Panls AH SItihi 10 v WHITE DUCK AMD KHAXt A Drincinal is involveH in th? ct apparel such commanding authcSty. f - s.

If Senator Simmon is forced to violate the Democratic platform la order to vote for the Interest of the State, then would It not be better for the State if it were represeiled by a Senator who could vote for It inter ests without violating his party and campaign pledges? In short, is not Senator Simmons' action and his ex planation of his vote an admission J that it would be to the interests of the State to be represented by the Hepublican party whose principles are in harmony with progress and prosperity? SIMMONS' ORGAN STILL GRINI- ING. ' 1 s ro Dally News Inde- pendent, continues to defend Sen- a r mmon more than does any it not only contains specials from Washington (one of which It Is un derstood was written, though not signed, by Simmons himself) but con tains editorials boosting Simmons and copies every article from other Democratic papers that attempts to give Simmons a boost. Yet the News felt aggrieved because we termed it a Simmons organ. But, if it isn't a Simmons organ, it should take down its silvery, shining sign. The News and Observer of Sunday, while not al ways autnority, stated that the Greensboro News is espousing Sim mons' cause, and says further, that the News devoted nearly two columns to lecturing the News and Observer because of its alleged unfairness to Senator Simmons. The News and Observer is wrong, however, in calling the Greensboro News "the organ of the Republican party In North Carolina." That paper does not represent the Republican or-l ganization in North Carolina; in fact, it never misses a chance to strike at Chairman Morehead and the Republi can leaders in the State. It may be the organ of what is left of the old referee crowd, but they are not the Republican organization in this Slate. In fact, it appears that what is left of the referees are working in harmony in-'with Simmons anl the Greensboro News. But. if you can tell what kind of a party that combination makes, you have us beat on that score.
