George Cathaway, a well-known young man, of Asheville, was shot at Waynesville last Saturday afternoon by Chief-of-Police Blalock and seri ously, if not fatally, injured.

A head-on collision occurred on the main lino nf tVio finuthom "RnUwflV between Fairforest and Wellford, near Spartanburg, Monday, when a southbound freight and a northbound train ran together. Considerable freight was damaged and destroyed, and an unknown white man who was beating his way on the southbound train was killed. A barn belonging to Mr. W A. Wilson, near Arlington, in Mecklen burg County, was burned last week, and in addition to this a lot of feed stuff, harness and agricultural imple ments; also three mules and several vehicles were burned. The loss is estimated at about $2,000, and it is origin. G. C.

Miss Lucile Pugh, a young North Carolina woman who practices law in New York, and who recently came into notice by appearing for a negro in a murder trial in New York, lost her case, her client being convicted of manslaughter.

Well, Mr. Harris has help- voted to ratify the amendment by a ! ed out tne Democrats on a good many vote 30 to 0. Fifteen officers of the navy, mostly high rank, who have been perform ing active service, were relieved Sat urday.

With a view to making the price on Sidney Allen's head a sufficient In-! to office. occasions, and it can be easily under stood why the should feel friendly to ward him so long as he tries to keep the Republican party from hurting the Democrats. Loge Harris has done more work for the Democratic party indirectly and directly during the past ten years than he has done for the Republican party. In fact, his only work among the Republicans of late years has been to use his efforts to burst up the Republican party and to use Republicans to elect Democrats centlve to cause the officers to be-! come more active, and possibly en tice special detectives into the chase, an effort will be made by the officials of the United States District Court to have the Government offer a sup plementary reward of $5,000 for his capture. It 13 said that Cbas. W. Morse, the New York banker who was pardoned some months ago from the Federal prison in Atlanta, Ga., will pay the lawyers who secured his pardon $100,000. He was pardoned on the ground that he was dying, but his health has since improved, and is now in New York, having just re turned fro ma trip to Europe. An organization of white Roose velt sympathizers, including both Democrats and Republicans, has been affected in Georgia, under the name of the Georgia Roosevelt White League. The body is separate and distinct from the Roosevelt Progres sive Republican Clubs, a State or ganization, which includes both white and colored Republican voters.

But it looks as if the boat is about sunk and nothing' left but the mast. Neighbor Gunter, of the Daily Journal, says that Governor Kitchin alleges that Senator Simmons is not a Democrat, basing his charges upon the action of Senator Simmons on the tariff question in Congress from time to time. It will be remembered that SenatorV Simmons has heen chosen to head the tariff fight in the Senate by the Democrats in that body. Doubtless the Democracy of the United States Senators and that of Governor Kitchin differs. Bu this is not strange for Democracy Is of many kinds. And this once again revives the old question, "What is a Democrat?", WTiat is Senator. Sim mons, politically? Assuredly he is not a Republican. Can Editor Gun ter tell us? . Colonel Logan's Democratic Oath. The Colonel has sworn once that he was very Democratic, but if he has ever sworn that he was a Republi can the fact has never been called to this writer's attention. It is under stood that he voted for Edwin W. Pou, Democrat, for Congress, and he also took the oath in the last Demo cratic primary. The News and Ob server in giving an account of Mr Harris' Democratic oath, in its issue of April 19, 1911, says: "The Colonel was ruffled. He raised his voice as he stoutly main tained that for years he had not been a strict Republican, that he had nib bled in Democratic pastures. As to that word 'affiliated, why of course he had affiliated with the Democracy. Had he not voted split tickets in the last city and in the last State elec tion? Why, then, should he be ques tioned? 'Out upon you for a meddle some one,' was what he thought, even if he did not say it. "But the poll-holders, who had ex cused Colonel Loge from the oath on Saturday, had become hard-hearted The challenger insisted and the poll holders said: 'No oath, no vote.' Fi nally , Colonel Harris seized on a pen and in a fine large hand, wrote as fol lows: " 'Raleigh, N. C, April 17, 1911. I solemnly swear that I have heretofore affiliated with the Demo cratic party, in that I have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket in part in the last city election and in the State election, and that I will support and vote for the ticket to be nominated to-day. J. C. L, HARRIS.' " 'I'll sign that,' said the Colonel The poll-holder looked at it, read it and asked the challenger if that was not all right, but the challenger said no; mai oionei iarns could not qualify how he had 'affiliated with the Democratic party; that twice vot ing split tickets did not make Colone Harris a Democrat. The poll-holders however, thought differently, and the unique sight was then seen of Col. J C. L. Harris casting a ballot to aid in nominating a Democratic ticket. Later, another voter, Mr. W. L. Col lins, was allowed to vote under the 'split ticket' rule. This was a new fangled way of making Democrats for primaries. "How this looks to outsiders is to be seen in the following from the Greensboro record: U , " 'Now, what do you think of this? The Hon. Loge Harris, the daddy of KepubHcanism in Raleigh and Wake delusive that he thought he could do anything in politics nd not be caught. But at last the Democracy of Joe Daniels set a trap, and the po litical bait was so tempting the big Colonel walked in. After walking in the Democracy demanded his oath of allegiance which he freely gave with out hesitation, binding himself under no less obligation than this that he, J. C. L. Harris, would support the Democratic ticket, which is as fol-. i lows: "Raleigh, N. C, April 17, 1911. "I solemnly swear that I have here tofore affiliated with the Democratic party in that I have heretofore voted! the Democratic ticket, in part, in the last city election, and that I will sup- port and vote for the ticket to be nom inated to-day. "(Signed) J. C. L. HARRIS." Xow, the said J. C. L. Harris comes back to the straight Republicans of Wake County backed by Wrlllis G. Briggs, Charles Wildes, Len Stephen son, W. J.Andrews, 'and a few Federal postmasters In the county that love their jobs better than they do the Re publican party ,and ask the straight Republicans of Wake County to re store him to full fellowship. Swift Creek Township will not sup port him; we want straight goods or none at all. T. M. Franks has al ways been loyal to the party and its principles ever since he began to vote the ticket. Mr. Franks is a strong Roosevelt man, believes in a govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people, and straight men for office or none. Colonel Harris claimed to be a strong Roosevelt man until after he and his bolting delegation were seat ed in the State Convention, and then, the very next day, in their bolting Congressional Convention, he and his other bolters refused to instruct for Colonel Roosevelt for President. Democracy is a government by the people; Republicanism, one-who be lieves in the sovereign power of the whole people. Give the people men for office that will stand for local self-government from school commit tee up, and peace will reign. Politi cal tricksters and political dema gogues will be a thing of the past in North Carolina. EVERETTE T. BANKS. Wake County, N. C. party I am sure I can do so without taking an oath to that effect. As for myself, I had rather vote for a straight Democrat than vote for a Republican who splits his ticket. Personally, I have nothing against Colonel Harris, yet politically I would would not vote for him for anything. I feel sure no bolter can lead the Republicans in Wake County. When a man bolts. I view it, he Is not willing for the ma jority to rule. Now, take the case. Republicans, and act according to the dictates of your own conscience, for most of you know both candidates.

He Doesn't Like Loge Harris Demo cratic Qualities and Advises Re publicans to Vote for Franks. Mr. Editor: It is very seldom that I write an article for publication as I do not care for the notoriety, but at this time I feel that it is my duty to say a few words in behalf of the true Republicans in Wake County. Mr. J. C. L. Harris has entered his name as a candidate to be. voted on in the primary next Saturday for Republican nominee for the State Senate. The time was when Mr. Har ris could claim to be a Republican, but since the State rent Democratic my friend Harris has been going Democratic more or less every time I have heard from him. In former years he would say in, speeches that we must raise up our sons to vote the Republican ticket. Colonel Harris now has several sons of voting age, and I would like for him to tell the voters how many of them vote the Republican ticket. Now, in the lower division of Mr. 1x18 ward I see he and his friends have filed the names of three colored men for precinct committeemen, also three names of three white men for delegates. Will Colonel Harris please explain to the voters of Wake County this situation? I am further inform ed that the Harris supporters are working up the negro vote in several other voting precincts. Now, I am aa "Old Line" Republican and have been working for the party ever since 1884, but I am very sorry to see that the Harris-Andrews crowd are now trying to inject the negro into this primary, when that issue had even been dropped by the Democrats. I hope that all our true Republi can friends in Wake County will go to the primary next Saturday, June f l A w 1WT take Pleasure in recom II' mending Milam lor Uric Acid troubles. C.T.
