There are only two ways or get ting votes in this contest by saving thp free vote coupons, which are printed in every issue of The Cau msiin and bv securing naid in ad vance subscriptions to The Caucasian (or by securing settlements oh out standing subscription accounts). Votes cannot be bought. The only money which will be accepted in con nection with the contest will be that sent to pay for subscriptions, or in settlement of arrearages. Never Approached. There are scores of people in the Old North State who do not regular ly subscribe to The Caucasian simply because they have never been ap proached on the subject. We want these people to become better ac quainted with The Caucasian; we want them to join the circle to get on our subscription list. Everybody rnnrernc.fi wilt hpnpfit hv thp renew-1 ed acquaintance. You can help by introducing us. Tell your friends about The Cau casian. If it were not such shock ingly bad form we would print some of the good things you might say. Call around, and we will talk it over. We will risk the "exaggerated ego" and tell you of the excellence of our wares.

When the next session of Congress rolls around, and the President sends to Congress the facts as to the dif ference in the cost of production here and abroad on cotton, wool, steel and other important schedules, then our Democratic friends will face a real and serious situation. They will be forced to declare that they do not care anything about facts and would prefer to make reduction regardless of the facts or the consequences. The position of the two parties at the next session will determine the attitude of the parties in the next campaign, and upon the position that they then take the people will pass a verdict in the Presidential election. Arizona and Xew Mexico. To-day the President sent to Con gress a veto message vetoing the bills providing for Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico. The veto is based upon the provision of the Constitu tion of Arizona providing for a recall of Judges. The President's position is that giving the people a chance to recall the election of a judge before the end five hundred whites to-day captured and shot to death an unidentified ne gro, who yesterday attacked and shot Mrs. Redden Campbell near here. They afterward burned the negro's body. The negro was killed after a run ning fight lasting more than an hour. in which he exhausted his ammuni tion returning the fire of his pur suers, when he fell volley after volley was poured Into his body by the advancing mob. - It was then taken to the home of his victim.

The beat has re duced the activities of worms b-ji in creased the shedding which has la places been severe. There are some reports from this State which say the crop is still holding up and that the alarm Is over-stated. The trouble in Alabama and Mis sissippi arises from an excess of mois ture which has made a rank stalk growth and caused some shedding of the stalk and from worms which are numerous In some fields. The disap pointment resulting from this turn in affairs has produced a feeling that perhaps the crop prospect had been over-estimated. CUT THIS OUT.
