Mr. Editor: I read the communl-r.t-ion

zat'S from this district at the He
MjMiran national convention, or at
i,.aut the action of the two men who
x-n- M-ated arbitrarily from this dia

th.- most
imuortant days so his al-1
r.rii.ite. Mr. Wildes, could vote to
-.ar the delegates who were against
Mr Koosevelt, notwithstanding that
Mr. Harris bolting coulting county
,u:;vf-ntion, including Mr. Wildes
',,,:! to endorse Col. Roosevelt. Mr.
Matthews certainly disappointed his
friends in Nash. He was apparently
-,.-rv strong for Mr. Roosevelt when
;r county convention was held. In
tact, he is the man who begged that
the convention not adjourn until he
rould read a lengthy telegram from
.-.Miator Dixon, Col. Roosevelt's cam
paign manager, and then Mr. Mat
thews read a long resolution which
asked the convention to adopt,
arid then it was adopted by a unan
imous and rising vote. Hut It ap
pears that Mr. Matthews forgot his
resolution, which he introduced at
thu county convention, which has
heen certified to by Mr. C. H. Mur
ray, convention secretary, was as fol
lows: "Resolved, That we, Republicans
of Nash County, N. C, gathered in le
gally organized convention at Nash
ville, N. C on this 6th day of May,
11)12, do hereby instruct our dele
gates to the North Carolina State and
Congressional conventions convening
at Raleigh, N. C, on May 14th and
May 15th, 1912, to cast their votes
for Theodore Roosevelt for President
of the United States and to vote for
none but known Roosevelt supporters
for every office for which it becomes
their privilege to ballot at said two
conventions. Thia we do for the
following reasons:
"1st, Because, during the seven
years of Roosevelt's administrations,
he so upheld the dignity of our na
tion abroad by commanding the re
spect of foreign powers that he was
culled upon to adjust and arbitrate
their differences, thus making us
proud of the position our country
and our President held among the
nations and rulers of the world.
2nd, Because Roosevelt's adminis
trations formed an area of progress
and prosperity at home, such as our
country rarely ever enjoyed before.
3rd, Because, while Roosevelt was
President, we citizens felt peace, con
fidence and security in the able ad
ministration of our national affairs
for the reason that we had at the
head of our government a man of
positive character, of strong convic
tions and true understanding of jjus
tice one whose clear intellect made
right decisions, whose firmness of
will executed them, and who had the
qualities necessary to meet ably any
crisis likely to arise in the affairs
of our nation. We feel the need of
such a man again in the highest office
of our country.
THE REPUBLICANS IN CHATHAM.
Will Continue to Fight the Democra
tic Ring Which Has Burdened That
County With Debt and Taxes.
Editor Caucasian: As a big Re
publican Convention held at Chicago,
is a thing of the past, and no doubt
turned out very contrary, to tne
wishes of the majority of our people
in both State and Nation, I desire to
discuss the effect it has had on old
Chatham County. O ceurse no one
will deny that old Chatham was over
whelmingly for Teddy. But I want
to tell you here and now, that there
isn't a Roosevelt man in Chatham
County that will vote the Democratic
ticket because Roosevelt wasn't nomi
nated. The Democratie party In old
Chatham is the same old coon with
one more ring around its tail. And
while they are rejoicing at the split
in the G. O. P. I want to tell you that
they have troubles of their own. They
have forgotten the fact that since
they went in office they have doubled
"yea" almost thribled the people's
taxes. They also know, and they
know the people know, that when
the Republicans went out of office in
Chatham County, our good old coun
ty, was only in debt thirteen thou
sand dollars according to a Demo
cratic official's own sworn statement
To-day it will take ninety thousand
dollars to pay the debts, bond issues,
etc., and not a single solitary thing
to show for it.
As to the course the Republicans
will pursue, I am not able to say.
tsut wnetner it be progressive or
conservative, it will be safe to state,
that when the election rolls around
the Democratic party in old Chatham
win una iney win nave just as
strong, if not stronger opposition,
than they have had for years.

Nearly One Hundred Meet In Grr&
boro and Perfect a County Farm
en Union.
The negro farmers of Guilford
County held a mass meeting at the
A. c M. College yesterday and or
ganized a County Farmers Union.
Nearly one hundred negro farmers
from all parts of the county came in
and manifested great enthusiasm in
the meeting. A permanent organi
zation was effected and a constitution
and by-laws were adopted. Articles
of incorporation were taken out and
the Union Will be Incorporated in the
next few days. The organization will
be State-wide and the purpose will be
to promote agricultural interests
among me negro iaruier ui ue
State. They will also form a co-op-
purpose of getting their supplies
more cheaply. They adjourned to
meet again on the last Saturday in
July at which time they will have a
farmers' picnic at the College. The
meeting was called to order by Prof.
J. H. Bluford.
President James B. Dudley, in a
pointed talk, gave the farmers some
very helpful suggestions concerning
their organization. Talks were also
made by Prof. N. A. Murray on in
sect pests and how to combat them,
and by Prof. John D. Wray on inten
sive farming. Sunday's Greensboro
News.
PLOWS Pl LLi:i BY EXGIXK.
Successful Demonstration Given on a
Farm Near Greensboro.
Some of the farmers in North
Carolina may break their ground
with steam power next year, provid
ing' these new fangled plows and en
gines do not cost too much. A de
monstration of this new method of
plowing was given in Guilford Coun
ty Friday, of which the Greensboro
ews says:
Some twenty farmers yesterday at
the farm of C. D. Benbow, one mile
east of the city, saw a field plowed
with an engine, and so successfully
was the work done that there was a
complete surprise for those who saw
the demonstration. Seven acres were
plowed in four and one-half hours to
a depth of from 8 to 10 inches, and
four inches deeper than would be
possible with horses or with mules.
The demonstration was made by a
gas tractor engine which has a ca
pacity for plowing fifteen acres per
day at a cost of $4.50 per day $3
for fuel and $1.50 for a driver. The
engine aws one of the latest models
and is making the trip for demon
ctrotinn nnmnfips from county to
O l a t v w aa. tr Mr "
county in the south.
The work yesterday was accom
plished without any hitch and with
apparent ease. The plow went deep
into the earth, almost twice as deep
as the plows that are pulled by
horses or mules, and the large ma
chine moved steadily and with sur
prising speed. It seemed almost un
believable that seven acres should
be ployed up deep in half a day,
when one team would require at least
three days, and this increased the in
terest ordinarily felt by farmers who
were seeing a new farming imple
ment. After being seen teh work did not
seem so strange after all. It was
simply a matter of setting the plows,
of turning on the gasoline and guid
ing across the field. The powerful
engine worked steadily and power
fully. It showed clearly by contrast
its improvement over the old way of
ploughing. As men and amimals
would have to do, it did not have to
stop for the heat.

on buildin' from that lately occupied
by he endemned man. The drive out
ov the city wuz between two lines ov
soldiers and deputised citizens who
stood ready to prevent any attempt
to rescue the King or other disorder.
The authorities had even secured a
number ov bands ov music to march
in front and near by the carriage con-
tainin the condemned King, hopin
thereby to drown out any cries ov the
spectators, fearing that any outcry
mite precipitate a riot in such a tense
situation. But the masses ov the
French people were too much hurt
over the outrageous trial and convic
tion ov their late King and they had
doubtless ' agreed to refuse to look

Reachln' the place ov execution the
former King or France removed hU
coat. He requested that he be allow
ed to make a speech from the scaf
fold but met a firm refusal. But
just before the fatal axe severed hlz
bead he exclaimed In a loud tone:
"People, I die Innocent." Then turn
in" to hiz friends present, though only
a few were allowed to see the end,
he said: "Gentlemen, I am Innocent
of all they accuse me of; may my
blood cement the happiness of
Frenchmen." Hit Iz said that in or
der to drown the last words ov the
brave King, General Santere, com
mander ov the French national guard
drew hlz sword and rushed upon
some ov the band leaders and forced
them to order the bands to play, for
the members ov the bands, military
though they were, had stood silently
for some minutes anxious to hear the
speech the late King wuz tryln' to
make in spite ov the fact that he had
been refused the privilege ov savin'
a word at the place ov execution.
Thus died one ov the bravest, one ov
the best Kings, who ever sat upon
the great throne ov France. This
world hez witnessed but few such
spectacles, will handly witness anoth
er ov the kind. Like our own Wash
ington and our Roosevelt, Louis Ca
pet, once King ov France, had hiz
faults, perhaps many ov them. But
hiz virtues shone above and round
them with undimmed luster. In death
he wuz greater than most other great
men in life.

"The Western Carolina Enterprise,
which has been prating so long for
government by the rank and file,
for fair primaries, and an uncorrupt
ed ballot, will now proceed to swal
low the rasclity of the politicians at
the Chicago Convention and 'get in
line' for Taft. Terrible is the thun
der of the party lash!"
Not by a jugfull! The above may
not be said of us by political oppon
ents, for it is impossible for this pa
per to repudiate the doctrines it has
advanced in sincerity and for the
welfare of those who believe in it
and support it. Party or no party,
honest men cannot stand for gov
ernment by the politicians.
The nomination of Mr. Taft was a
steal, pure and simple, and this is
generally known and freely admitted
by thinking men of both parties.
Wrherever the people spoke, in the
contest between Roosevelt and Taft,
Roosevelt was chosen by overwhelm
