But this unhappy con dition makes it more necessary than ever for fearless independent papers like The Caucasian to live, grow and multiply to tell the people the facts and all the truth. We all know that machine party organs will not do this. Therefore this issue of The Caucasian should be an effective appeal to those of our scribers who are behind a year or more to send us at once what they are due, so as to put us on a cash basis and enable us to comply with the law. We believe tfcat every sub scriber intends to pay his honest debt to us just as he pays his taxes and other honest debts, but nearly one fourth of them have neglected to do so. The amount due runs into many thousands of dollars. For a year or more we have been forced each week to meet printers bills, paper bills, postage bills, etc., with cash, while a fourth of our read ers have paid nothing on these bills. Now let every one who has neglected this matter, at once send us what he owes and we will go back to eight pages. The Caucasian is determined to pay as it goes. If our State govern ment had been run on this business principle, we would not today have a bankrupt State Treasury and a Legislature looking for a way to raise taxes. The Democratic admin istration has collected enough taxes to run the government, but they have wasted the money by extravagance. The Caucasian has not been extrav agant. We can make both ends meet, without raising rates, if each, one will do his part. The Caucasian has been honest with each one of you. Now look us in tue face and be hon est with us. We are in the fight to have this Democratic administration succeeded four years from now by one that stands for progress and prosperity. Are you with us? If so, let us hear from you by next mall. While The Caucasian is only four pages this week, yet it is full of meat and will be every week, no matter what Its size may be. THE DEAD INDUSTRIES. Under the above caption the Char lotte Observer fathers the following editorial: "The Highlander, published at Shelby. Is urging the people of , the Piedmont section to write letters to Chairman Underwood of the Ways and Means Commit tee to restore the duty on mon azite. This industry had just be gun to boom and was bringing thousands of dollars into Shel by when Brazilian monazite was made practically free and the home industry was killed dead as the traditioaal door nail.. A duty of six cents would be suf ficient to restore prosperity to a large number of land-owners In Cleveland County. The tariff should be restored not only on monazite. but on corundum, ruby and abrasive minerals, so abounding in the western section of the State. There is one mine in Jackson County that would resume operations and give em ployment to 5,000 people follow ing the restoration of the duty. It is hard to Bee why this situa tion should not appeal to the framers of the tariff. The kill ing of these great home indus tries should be against the pol icy of the Democratic party. We are a little doubtful of the result, but there is cause to hope the matter will be looked at in the light of reason." It is just possible that the Obser ver is quite right in wanting the former duty on monazite restored. Certainly it is bad policy to kill a home industry and keep more than 5,000 people out of profitable employ ment. In other words, the Observer fa vors a protective tariff. If North Carolina U to have her Industrie! protected of course the representa tives from other States will demand that their Industries be protected also. Glad to see the Observer com ing out on the right side of this proposition, but wouldn't it have been better to have worked and voted for a party that believed in protec tion so you could have gotten what protection your industries really needed and saved all this worry? Democrats have entire control ofj the National Government. Wonder' how long it will take them now to! devise a plan whereby the farmers j can buy everything they want at a cheap price and sell everything they produce at a high price? Don't say them on the strength of that prom ise. The News and Observer says that monopolies should be blotted out. And still the News and Observer has one of the biggest monopolies there is in the State. Is the Observer will ing to give up its monopoly? We re fer to its contract with the Associated Press. Where was ex-Governor Glenn when the inauguration exercises were pulled off in Washington? The daily papers did not give this infor mation, neither did any of them print a half-tone cut of the ex-Governor. President Wilson announced yes terday that no office-seeker would be allowed to see him in person, unless especially invited. The next revolu tion of note will probably be among the Democratic office-seekers. The Democrats have already fig ured out that Mr. Wilson will have just 141 Presidential postmasters to appoint in this State. Honestly, have you ever before seen such a wild scramble for office? Mr. Bryan spoke in Raleigh Sun day for peace which was very apro pos, considering the fact that the Democrats were to take over all the offices within two days. Mr. Bryan talks for peace, but how can there be any peace until there is an office created for every Democrat? A million dollar bond issue may sound very small to the Democratic office-holder, but it sounds very big to the tax-payers back home. WITH THE EDITORS. Those London suffragettes have even dispositions they're mad all the time. Detroit Free Press. If they ever get the laws so that liquor will actually be hard to get then is when you will hear a real howl. Durham Herald. If a member introduces a bill in the Legislature that would accom plish the purposes for which it was intended, some one has to tack on an amendment robbing it of its eower. Durham Herald. The order of the Gideons will place 5,000 Bibles in the hotels of Washintgon for use of Democrats during the inauguration. The Idea is good so far as it goes but those wick ed Democrats will need more Bibles than that. Union Republican. But then the Democrats are col lecting more than double the amount of taxes that the Republicans col lected out of the people and the Re publicans paid all of their debts and left more than $185,000 in the treas ury. The Democrats spent all of this money and are now in debt all over, after more than doubling our taxes. Clinton News-Dispatch. Robeson County Girl Eats Match Heads Which Prove Fatal. Lumberton, N. C, March 1. As the result of eating match heads yes terday afternoon, Dorothy Britt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vester Britt, residing near McDanields, in this county, died this morning. The little girl was in her fifth year. Ex-President Taft in Augusta. Ex-President Taft and family went to Augusta, Ga., Tuesday night, where they will spend three weeks. Guilford Doctor Indicted. A sensation was created in pro fessional circles in Greensboro Tues day when Dr. J. L. Mooresfield was indicted for retailing liquor. He is a practicing physician and operates a drug-store at Pomona. WHISKEY BOTTLKS IN THE CAPITOL. Building Ha I!ee m Aba and Defaced a to IWtiw a IHsgrare to the State. Recognized by connaUseurs of ar chitecture and art the country over aa one of the most beautiful public buildings In the United State, the Capitol of North Carolina is without doubt one of the worst kept public buildings In the world. Its corridors are filled with trash, tools and imple ments of all sorts, empty boxes, dis carded furniture and other articles that ought to be relegated to the trash heap. Its closets and toilet rooms are filthy and indecent. In one of them a bucketful of empty whiskey bottles, the accumulation of a single night, was seen. In one of the corridors while the snow was melting Saturday, It was necessary to set buckets to catch the water that literally Sowed through leaks in the roof. The walls, ugly enough at best with dingy brown paint, the door facings, the, window frames, and oth er parts of the interior have been so abused, marked up and cut up as to have become disgraceful to the State. Raleigh Times. The above from the Raleigh Times shows a pretty bad condition of af fairs, and that the Democrats do not make good custodians of the State's property and other affairs. Wonder if those wfcrtskey bottles were found under the "search and seizure act?" It would seem that they have suffici ent labor around the Legislature to keep the building clean. Really it appears that it is time to turn out the Democrats, clean up and white wash the State House and put the machinery of the State into new hands. Muskrat Attacks Young White Man at Kins ton. A Kinston, N. C, dispatch Tuesday says: Just after dark last night, J. M. Littleton, a young man of Jack sonville, N. C, was attacked by a muskrat in front of the Norfolk Southern depot, on Queen street, and had a lively time in beating off the vicious rodent. Littleton's queer as sailant probably came from a sewer somewhere in the vicinity. When the young man sauntered up the pave ment toward the depot the muskrat leaped upon him from a dark spot on the street, and sunk its teeth into his trousers. His pants were badly torn before he could choke the ani mal off, and it was not until he had kicked it to death that all the fight was out of the rat, which was of ab normal size. Littleton sold the skin for enough to pay his passage to Jacksonville. The affair was witness ed by a number of people. Several years ago a negro man was attacked by one of the rodents in the same neighborhood, under similar circum stances. The home of the animals, which is very near the centre of the city, cannot be located. A North Carolina Freak Visits Ten nessee. (From the Johnson City Staff.) Nunny Tipton, of Relief, N. C, was a visitor in the city Wednesday. Nun ny is nineteen years of age and is per haps one of the greatest freaks of na ture in the human family. He was born without any arms. From the right shoulder Is a small projection which represents two toes, says phy sicians, while from the left shoulder is a'slmilar projection representing two fingers. Outside of these defi ciencies young Tipton is a normal man in features and has remarkable intelligence. With his toes and feet he has learned to write and can throw rocks with apparently perfect ease. Mob Breaks Up Meeting of London Suffragette. London, March 2. The public tem per is rising against the suffragettes. Wild scenes were witnessed in Hyde Park this afternoon when a mob of several thousand broke up a suffrs gette meeting held under the leader ship of "General" Mrs. Flora Drum mond. Severa free fights occurred and masses of turf torn from the ground were hurled at the speakers. It re quired a strong body of police to pro tect the suffragettes and escort them to a place of safety. Similar scenes marked a meeting at Wlmbledom Common. In both cases women were knocked down and bruised. Atlanta, Ga., March 1. How the average farmer, using ordinary farm tools, at an expense of only $65, can construct a silo with a capacity of fifty-five tons enough silage to feed twenty cows forty pounds per day for feur months is told in a book let just gotten out by the Live Stock Department of the Southern Railway, a copy of which will be mailed free to any farmer addressing request for same to Mr. F.

For forty-three years Dr. .King's New Discovery has been known throughout the world as the most reliable csugh remedy. Over three million bottles were used last year. Isn't this proof?
