V Thursday, July 25, 1912. THE CATXCAflTATT. Urea.' VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Tti Kioma is open to oar obrlber acd friend to eipresia tblr Tiews oo tlmoiy topim. Mae letter a abort as you can mm! to the point Tb editor Is ooi rspoaaHe for tfc Tiews expres sed Id ietvers published. To the Itepubllcani of Wake Count jr and the State. It would be most unfortunate in deed should we permit the present factional fight between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft to divide us, the rank and file in State and county matters. There can be no doubt that our Na tional leaders in charge at Chicago who held the party organization, and those at the State Convention In Ral eigh who wished to seize the party organiztlon, perpetrated wrongs upon the rank and file as well as upon party integrity. And while we hold them responsible, and charge it to their blame, we gain nothing by tak ing up their fight and thereby making a deplorable division in our ranks. They have set back the Republican party in North Carolina. The Roo sevelt advocates at the State Conven tion, with reckless enthusiasm and with no regard for right, crushed the life of the regular party organiza tion in a number of counties and districts, recognizing bolters, irregu lars and such as betray trust, dis couraging their own friends and put ting them in an unenviable pliht. This was accomplished by the use of a State-size steam roller. It was a most remarkable instance of retribu tive justice that at Chicago overtook this same State steam roller crew and flattened them to the earth with a machine of National size. The same element will now return to their senses and do what they can for the success of the party. But for this inconsiderate action of the State Convention a number of townships in Wake County would have gone Republican ;that may now be set down as doubtful and Wake County has lost her opportunity to poll at the coming election her largest Republican vote. This condition has not been brought about so much from party perfidy as from blind, incon siderate enthusiasm. Feelings have been engendered that will not be re covered during this campaign, and distrust of certain men that will ever linger. What shall we do in this dilema? It does not behoove us to go to pieces or to divide. Why should we? A great mistake has been made. It will not do to make another, or to broaden the breech. As I see it, the only thing to do is for us, the rank and file, to pull ourselves together, dismiss the thought of electors, let presidential candidates and our pref erences not be named among us, elect or re-elect, a good state chair man who desires to see party har mony and party growth. Nominate a State ticket of the best men we have and concentrate our strength about them. For a county ticket give us men to vote for not identified with bolters and traducers of trust, ant every man pull together for party success. W. C. REPUBLICAN. The Presidential Election. Because of the colossal theft at the Chicago Convention, Republicans may just as well make up their minds that the fight is between Roosevelt and Wilson. s Taft may carry Rhode Island andj Utah, but is not likely to score any where else, since his chief support consists in negroes, Mormons and job holders. Even had there been no crookedness at Chicago the Taft ad ministration .which was Ohio's pres ent to the Nation, has been charac terized by so much vaccination and weaknses as to nauseate healthy sen timent everywhere. It was fitting that he should have picked out Bill Tweed's lawyer to do his bidding at Chicago as presiding officer there. That end of the party seems to be dominated by Bills. There is Bill Barnes, Bill Lorimer, Bill Taft, and it ought to be known as the Bill party. Bryan's baby may be tractable enough to follow the advice of its master. Grover Cleveland was elected by Republicans voters, and made a great President, and Republicans will have to elect Wilson if he gets there at all. But there are plenty of Republicans and others to elect Roosevelt and give us a vigorous, progressive ad ministration. We cannot afford to stay the tide of prosperity by trusting to a Dem ocratic administration. A. V. DOCKERY. A Letter From Wayne County. Dear Old Caucasian: You have been very kind in the past publishing articles for me, so I again wish to present a short letter for publication to let the readers of your paper well understand how well we feel over the nomination of President Taft's stolen nomination. Mr. Taft should never have accepted a stolen nomination. Mr. E. C. Duncan, with the assist ance of some of the other dead Na tional Committeemen, helped perpe trate the theft. The Republicans of my countyfdo not like the way the nomination was secured, neither do they like the appointment of Demo crats to tfffice over good Republicans. Now, Mr. Editor, If the people think Mr. Roosevelt was wrongfully defeated, let's all g6od true Republi cans of North Carolina follow the motto of Iowa and South Dakota, and say that the people shall rule the Re- publican party ia old North CaroU Una. Go at the thing at one, nornU nate our electoral ticket of men wbos want to ee the people rule, and men who favor Mr. Roo?v!t, or in any other that will meet the approval 1 of the people, for Mr. Taft we will not not support. If we will act prudent-' ly from now on 'Teddy will be our, next President, and North Carolina, also while now clo&e, w ill also go i Republican. Many Democrats have; come out and boldly asserted If Mr. Roosevelt runs they will support him. I ask every Republican in North I Carolina, if they think Mr. E. C. Dun can acted well in helping to defraud I Mr. Roosevelt at Chicago to bear this! in mind and start from now on toj help make him our next State Chair-j man and if they disapprove of hist acts to shun him as a case of "black tongue." All you readers keep well posted and you will see ten thousand things develop In favor of Mr. Roose velt inside of thirty days. Mr. Taft ran well four years ago in Sampson County, which gave 1,100 straight Republican majority. Mr. Taft got 1,300. but at that time Mr. Taft had not graduated at "Duncan University in North Carolina." Thanking you in advance for what I know The Caucasian will do and the people for their assistance, I am, Your co-worker, LEWIS B. PATE. Goldsboro. N. C, R. F. D. No. 2. July 22, 1912. Hurprised and Amused. Mr. Editor: I was surprised and amused to read Mr. J. E. Spence's ar ticle in last week's Caucasian. How any man who is as honest and intel ligent as Mr. Spence, and a man who does not want an office, can believe that Mr. Taft is the honest nominee of the Republican party for President is more than I can see. It is true, that Mr. Taft was declared to be the nominee by the fraudulent convention that convened in Chicago, but Mr. Spence must know if he kept up with events accuring at and prior to said convention that Mr. Roosevelt was the choice and therefore the real and rightful nominee of the Republican party and why any man in Nortk Carolina who believes in a square deal should support Mr. Taft, is be yond my comprehension. I was again surprised to find Mr. Spence saying that "The men composing that com mittee are, as a rule, the greatest and wisest men in our party." If this is true, God have mercy on the Republi can party. To call Penrose the boss of one of the corruptest political ma chines ever known to politics, and Crane another boss and "Big Steal" of Colorado, and the little pigmy Rosewater, of Nebraska, is a reflec tion on the party that I want to deny and resent. If these men are our wisest and greatest men, then the party ought to die. I deny that these men were the backers and that Wil liam McKinley, or any other man ex cept Taft who ever occupied the White House took orders and was dominated by this crowd of corrupt political bosses. So far as I am concerned, I will not follow this crowd of political thieves, nor will I vote for Taft who condones such methods and accepts the nominating, knowing full well that he is not the choice of the Re publican voters of this country. I deny that the great leaders of the party are behind the President, but, to the contrary, I believe the brains and honesty of the party are going with Colonel Roosevelt in this elec tion some into the new party and some will remain In the Republican party and still support Mr. Roosevelt, believing him to be the rightful nominee of the Republican party and the greatest exponent of true Repub lican principles of any man asking for the suffrage of the American peo ple. The wise thing for the Roosevelt following in North Carolina to do is to remain in the Republican party and take charge of the organization in every county and district in the State and nominate none but known Roosevelt men for electors and vote for them and do our dead level best to elect them. I can see no good rea son why any Republican in North Carolina should want to vote for Taft who has tried in every way possible to humiliate them and advertise them to the world as a set of unprincipled ignoramuses. Mr. Spence can worship at the shrine of the corrupt political bosses who stole the nomination for Mr. Taft If he wants to do so this is a free country yet awhile but for me, I will not do It. I shall vote for Theodore Roosevelt if I can find the names of his electors printed on any kind of a ballot, whether It be brand ed "new party" or Republican party. I hope I can abide In the old Repub lican ship in North Carolina and sup port Roosevelt, but if I cannot I must say farewell. D. H. SENTER. Chalybeate Springs, N. C. June 22, 1912. The Democratic Scramble in Chat , ham. Editor Caucasian, Raleigh, N. C. Please permit me space In your val uable paper for just a few remarks on Chatham County politics. The Dem ocratic County Convention will be pulled off in Pittsboro, July 3.0th, and a livley time is expected. There will be no opposition to the renomination of either Sheriff Lane or John W. Johnson for Register of Deeds, but when it comes to the nomination of a commissioner and a legislative can didate there is going to be some fun. There are four candidal for th Legislature, namely. Fr4 W. ByaBcM the steam roller candidal; Franc M.! Farrel. the man who belpd csanipu late :be e!e-ctlon is 100; Jo Mclvr, of Cap Fear, and George Hannah. Jr.. of Slier City. Tb!s writer's pre dict Son is that Fred W. Bynara the nominee ilaply bee us b" be ing chairman of the party he will have full control of the steam roller, and if the other fellows don't look out, there will be nothing left but broken bones and a broken heart. As to that candidate for commis sioner, the fight will come when they try to renominate Mr. Dock GriCn, who hasn't given the best of satisfac tion, especially with the Prohibition ists ; bow ever, they had better go a little slow because they know full well they used whiskey galore to car ry the election la Chatham two years ago. Whatever they do, of course, will be all right with some of the less independent, but since the negro is out of politics, there are some in old Chatham that don't propose to swal low anything the steam roller tries to force down their throats. Mr. R. H. Hayes has gotten Mr. W. E. Brooks up a tree in regard to the latter telling over the county that Hayes was using Simmons' money to defeat Mr. Kltchln. Mr. Hayes says It is absolutely false. Mr. Brooks says he didn't tell It, but said Hayes has sufficient proof to entitle Mr. Brooks to a seat in the Annias Club. We Republicans are watching this scramble between brother Democrats with satisfaction, and if there is a breach in the party, we expect to reap the benefit. Yours very truly, CHATHAM REPUBLICAN. Pittsboro, N. C, July 22, 1912. The Menace of Rabies. (Walter Peet, in Harper's Weekly.) The first striking symptom in a rabid dog is almost invariably a de cided change in its disposition. It either becomes more cross, irritable and sulky or shows unusual friend liness and wants to be continuously petted. Obviously In the latter state it is a most dangerous menace to its ownar, who easily may be infected through a scratch on the hand or by a bite during unusual playfulness. In either case the dog soon becomes ex tremely restless, lying down, then al most immediately getting up to run around nervously for a few seconds and again lying down. This rotation it kepes up without Interruption for some time. The dog is easily star tled, growls and barks at the least provocation. The owner or keeper who knows its disposition will easily discern this change, and by simply shutting up the dog securely for ob servation will obviate all further dan ger. The Pasteur treatment has been proved beyond pre-adventure to be a specific prophylactic against rabies. It will prevent the development of the disease if administered properly and if used in time. The report of Jules Viala, of the Pasteur Institute of ' Paris for 1910 (Annales de l'ln stitut Pasteur) states that during the year 1910, 401 persons received this treatment without a single death re sulting from any cause rabies or any other. During the last ten years 7,380 persons have been treated, or whom only twenty-one have died fro mall causes, a mortality of 28 per cent. The record in this country is almost as good.

IV tfc4n Mttcti !juxie to Mriosj Ihe ef MerkJmbBrs Coantj. Charlotte Observer. 1 Mr. George L. Baaktr. who fansi on the Piaerllle road, two sad oae half miles south of Charlotte, brought three cantaloupes to the Observer of fice yesterday to show the ravages of a species of worm ia his taeloa patch. Each melon U perforated by a small grey worm, and Mr. Banker says his acre patch is entirely reined. Ia con sequence of the perforations canta loupes will not ripen and he says that he will not haT a melon ready for market. Mr. Banker reports that the canta loupe growers to the north of Char lotte are experiencing a similar trou ble. The pest is said to be a new one in this section, the farmers being unable to remember a similar situa tion. Farming With Traction Engine In Lenoir County. A dispatch from Ktnston, N. C, says: "For the first time in the vicinity of Klnston a traction engine Is be ing used on a farm for plowing, and the Innovation, successful beyond ex pectation, is receiving much attention from the farmers of the section. The engine, a 25-horse power kerosene machine, is being used to pull six disk plows and a large double-disk harrow on the farms of I. M. and John Tull, prominent farmers of this city. The machine enables Messrs. Tull to plant, sow and harrow about twelve acres a day, at a cost of fifty or sixty cents an acre. The demon stration of this modern method is proving an attraction for many inter ested planters each day, and from the enthusism displayed, the innovation may be the means of revolutionizing farming in Lenoir and adjoining counties. The club method of pur chasing traction engines and gang plows is being discussed in many lo calities now." Army Worm IKing Considerable Damage Near Spartanburg. A press dispatch from Spartan burg, S. C, says: The army worm has made its ap pearance in Spartanburg County, at Mayo, north of this city. More than thirty acres of corn and cotton have been destroyed and great anxiety is felt lest the pest spread beyond con trol. Ravages of the worm have re cently been reported from Anderson County.
