In bis speech at a picnic at David son some days ago Governor Kite bin said that the claim that the tariff law meant one more cent in the far mer's pocket was "tommyrot and hy pocrisy." If the Governor' claim is true, then why is it that the farmer, in fact the country generally, I more pros perous under a protective tariff than under free trade? Every farmer remembers that when the Democrats tinkered with the ta riff during Cleveland's administra tlon that cotton fell to four and Ave cents a pound, corn was only thirty to forty cents a bushel, eggs were six and seven cents a dozen and grown hens sold for fifteen cents, and sweet potatoes and peas could hardly be sold at any price. Since the Republi cans have had control of the Na tion's affairs they have enacted laws to protect home industries, cotton has sold as high as sevente -a cents, corn has sold as high as l.zZ a bushel, anl has averaged one dollar a bush el; eggs have sold from 2 0 to 37J cents, grown hens from 50 to 75 cents a piece, peas have sold for $1.50 to $2.50 a bushel and other farm prod ucts have brought good prices in pro portion. Isn't the evidence against Governor Kitchin and his party? DEMOCRATS AND SEXATORSHIPS. The Democrats in Virginia have a Senatorial campaign all of their own. The campaign which ends to-day has been one of the bitterest ever waged in the Old Dominion. The charge has been made that more than half the offices in Virginia are un der "ring rule," and the cost of the State government has doubled in ten years, due to the working of the "machine," and that the government has been run in the interest of the corporations instead of in the inter est of the people. The lie has been passed several times and a Roanoke paper has discovered that the Rich mond Evening Journal is "an ass." A very bitter fight in the Democrat ic ranks in Maryland resulted again in Gormanizing the State. Ex-Senator Gorman's son was chosen in the pri mary for United States Senator. He and Senator Raynor are at dagger's point and a fight will be waged for the next two years with a view to de feating Raynor at the end of his pres ent term. In the meantime it would seem that the Republicans have a good opportunity to. carry Maryland. It is believed that many former Dem ocrats will join the Republicans and help to defeat the Gorman machine in, that State. Once before when the Democrats were unable to defeat the Gorman machine at the primaries they joined hands with the Republi cans and made it necessary for Ar thur Pue Gorman to return to pri vate lifel All of this reminds us that there is a Senatorial fight on in the Demo cratic ranks in North Carolina and the independent Democrats may yet find it necessary to come over and help the Republicans elect a truly representative man to the United States Senate one who could do something for the State besides draw his breath and his salary. The Senatorial fight is growing rery warm between the Kitchin and Simmons forces in Rockingham Coun ty. The Reidsville Review and Web ster's Weekly, both Democratic pa pers, are at dagger's point even this early in the game, and the militia may have to be called out before the nemgerents are finally quieted. In fact, the storm is brewing all over the State, and there are promises of much wool pulling before the next election and it is all over the question as t6 who shall draw the $7,500 salary which carries along with it the priv ilege of sending out some free seeds! -That is all that it now -amounts to, as the Senators front the Souths at present are not favoring laws that "would benefit Southern industries or the farmers. DEMOCRATIC "GOOD GOVERN- MKXT" AND -DOOZE." The Lincoln Times, cora&eaUn oaj the condition of affairs under Demo-j cratlc "food government la ?orta Carolina, says: "The conduct of those who are elected and worn to execute the law has much to do with the mora! tone of a community. I "It thote In authority are so- j ber, upright sad orderly in all j things, respect for law enforce ment will prevail. On the other j band, if the sworn officer them- j set re set aa example of inso briety and disrespect for the j law, lawlessness will prerail arid f the moral standard of the com munity will be lowered. A com- j munity or State can no more maintain a high standard of ; .morality with tainted officers ! than a stream can rise above its 1 fountain head." i The above observation by the Lin-! coin Times are very true, and they! bring to mind some very recent ex-j ample. It ha not been so manyl days since a Democratic sheriff of a; near-by county came to Raleigh and! proceeded to get drunk and his fur ther proceedings caused him to get aj ride in the "Black Moriah" to the' police station where he was locked up until he .could sober up and settle damages with the city authorities. It. has not been so many months since a more or less prominent Democratic; politician, and sometimes office-hold-j er from another near-by county, camej to Raleigh and "tanked up" and was; also carted to the police station to give an account for his conduct, and i in this case we understand that some one dared to reprimand the officer for; i daring to arrest so important a per-j i sonage. It was not so many months! ago that a Democratic officer in thfcf! county was found guilty in the Fed eral Courts of blockading. And many other cases could be cited, but what's the use? No, we did not see an account of these cases in the Raleigh Newrs and Observer, and we should not mention them here but for the fact the News and Observer and the Democratic politicians would have the public be lieve that their officials are a lot of saints who knoweth not of the wine cup, but on the other hand, have tried to make the public believe that all the f" booze fighters" are in the Republican party. SHOULD HAVE ADVISED THEM TO BET ON REPUBLICAN CANDI DATE. This from yesterday's Charlotte Observer: "Colonel Bryan claims that during the three campaigns when he ran for President he al ways advised his friends not to bet. He might be entitled to a larger share of their gratitude had he advised them to bet .on the opposing candidate." If Bryan had taken the Observer's advise there would not now be so many men in this country with long hair and long beard who have been waiting for Bryan to be elected Presi dent, before visiting the barber. The News and Observer says that ex-Governor Glenn is now shelling the woods in Maine for prohibition. It would be interesting to know who employed Glenn to do this speechify ing. Maine has been a so-called pro hibition State for many years, but the Democrats had an idea that many of the Maine voters like their toddy, so in the last campaign the Demo crats In- Maine lined up for whiskey and the State will vote on the ques tion in a few weeks. The Lincoln Times has put on a new dress, and we are glad to note that it is, not of the hobbled kind. The Times is a bright, newsy paper, and deserves a fine patronage. The Durham Herald, commenting onthe fact that North Carolina in dustries are now"begging for a pro tective tariff, says: "Just at this time North Caro lina should be able to under stand why the iron industry pf Pennsylvania, the sugar indus- try of Louisiana and the wheat and grain industry in the West feel that they should be pro tected." The Madison Howler alias Madison Herald, has suspended publication. While it was a very partisan Demo cratic paper, still it died protesting against the leadership of Simmons. The management announces that we . are to have a clean State Pair next time -that is, of course, provid ing it is neither very rainy nor very dusty. - WITH THE EDITORS. ; How loss wilt the people stand it?

The business men of the South who vote the Democratic ticket sim ply because it it is popular in the South to vote Democratic, but who pray all the time that the Republi cans will control Congress and pre vent destructive tariff legislation, came very near gettiing what they deserved this time. Lincoln Times. If the farmers really appreciate what the recent Democratic Congress did for them they should meet and pass resolutions thanking them for reducing the price of their cotton from 15 cents down to 11 cents, also for reducing the price on all farm products.

It was with great sorrow that the What do the people think of this many friends here, to whom Mrs. Cor-' thing of eternally increasing their nelia Faison was very dear, heard of taxes any how? There are no more her death, which occurred at Elliott, ' her country home, Wednesday after-, noon of last week. Her death was not unexpected however, and was the culmination of a long period of ill- ness. Under peculiarly fitting and ' beautiful circumstances did the spirit elect tO( leave the body, for she; breathed ' her last during a prayer- service ana in me presence oi ner rector, her family physician and near-; ly all the immediate family. It is sad to die, but since death must come to us all sooner or later, what more could be desired than to die under such circumstances. She her earthly pilgrimage, and while she did not reach the three-score and ten, yet she had lived a long and useful life, and will be greatly missed in her community and her church, upon the services of which she was a most earnest, constant and devout at tendant. Mrs. Faison's remains were brought to Clinton on the late after noon train Thursday, accompanied by the family and a number of friends and relatives who went down from Clinton. Prom the train they were taken to the Episcopal Church, where the funeral service was conducted by Rev. J. E. Williams; thence to the grave, where sorrowfully and tender ly the body was consigned to the resting-place of all the earth. The flow-, ers, reverently laid on the grave, ! were beautiful in the extreme. Mrs. Faison, who was before her marriage to Capt. E. L. Faison, Miss Cornelia Happer, was born at Craney Island, near Norfolk, Va., on Decem ber 2, 1843. She and Captain Faison became acquainted during the Civil War, and were married in Baltimore on January 1, 1867. Mrs. Marion! Butler is the only surviving child of this union; a son, Mr. Edwin L. Fai-, son, dying Jnnary i, 1907.Three sis-! ters survive her- Mrs. P. V. Bum gardner, Mrs. M. E. Fowle, of Wash intgbn, D. C, and Miss IndiaHapper, of Norfolk, Va.

As it was. the engine of the passenger train was turned over on its side and several flat and box cars were completely de molished.

All of the passengers were more or less shaken i irk k-hr Ino arr!na onH ran rr'IinMl up when the engine and cars collided, but none of theae were Injured. The track was torn up for several yards, and it was necessary to lay a section of new track before trains could be taken through. The officials of the road claim that the accident was caused by some unknown person who opened the switch and removed the light which is placed on top of each of these switches to guide the engineers. This light was found lying about fifty feet from the switch, and could not have possibly found its way there unless thrown, there by some person. Investigations tending to discover this person is being made. But for the fact that the train was running comparatively slow the loss of life would have doubtless been great and thousands of dollars worth of prop erty destroyed.
