WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1912. " ' ; THE ASSASSIJTS ATTACK. -Regardless of political affiliation the. people of the State.will feel keen ly the fact that a . presidential" candi date has been the object of attempt ed 'assassination. Colonel Roosevelt may be even, more, seriously wounded . than " was reported at first, but , even though his Injury is ..slight, the fact that the attempt . was made is de plorable. , ,. - . V . : ;'V.;: It is true that it isv the work of demented and In some measure an Ir responsible creature and 'yet the fact " that the possibility of such charac ters having the opportunity, of' in flicting injury causes serious contem plation. Another fact , that attracts attention is that of the nationality of the would-be assassins. He was not an American and for this the Amer ican people rejoice. The Chronicle does not agree "with Colonel Roosevelt in his political pol icies and does not support him in his political aspirations, but it is certain ly ,to be desired that he will recover from the effects of the attacks-of the visionary foreigner. THE CHARLOTTE FAIR; Charlotte is well informed con cerning the coming annual fair. The advertising has 'been planned and ex ecuted with good result . The-people should -respond and vthey , wilL ; The management has worked hard . and constantly and with the .coming of the appointed time it behooves every Charlotte, booster to" help in the' work of publicity." Neighboring towns and cities can well ' afford to spend . those days in the Queen City and enjoy the hospitality- of .. the people here. . - - "Webster's "WeeKly 'remarks, that , they have much valuable and hlstorj cal material. 'bearing on the senatorial contest that we fear we shall, not be able , to ; print it all, before the polls are. opened." In our. "next issue we - shall give a defense of Senator Sim mons .vote' for, Lorimer by one" of -the leading Kitchin papers in North Carolina. Then comes : the follow ing: "Mr. Bryan, in The Commoner j of date May 12, 1911. characterized The . Richmond Tlmes-Dispatifh . whos3 criticism of . Senator Simmons that year was read by Hon. A. L. Brooks In his speech for -Kitchin here" last Saturday, as an 'Aldrieh Democrat! And-Mr Brooks, able lawyer that he is, knows that he cannot impeach his own witness!" - .... ' -' " -; The Asheville Citizen remarks that In his two-page advertisement in The News &n Observer last Sunday Gov ernor Kitchin makes an appeal to the "progressive . Democracy" ... . of North Carolina. One naturally wonder's who appointed the Governor the ; attorney of progressive Democracy. What has he done in the last few years to war rant such an appointment? . - According te "Wepster's "Weekly, Senator Simmons may have criticised Bryan in 1909,, but he said no worse -of him than "Woodrow Wilson did when he wrote to Mr. Joline., April 27. 1907: '.'Would that we could do some-' thing at once dignified and "effective to knock Mr. Bryan once and for all into a cocked hat." - ' . The New Bern Sun says it the Gov- ernor really "wanta to debate his rec ord we move that he challenge Lock hart, the man who introduced a trus law 'With ."teeth," and Governor Kitchin advised him to "go "slow, that the people of the State did not want to hurt the trusts. . The Philadelphia . Public Ledger says no candidate for ..office -ever had the courage' to question, even by m- ' ference, the profound intelligence, the rigid honesty, the intense patriotism, the superhuman grasp of great prob- , lems or the superlative worth of the farmer. - f - ' : : - .- ' - ' According to the St. . Paul Dispatch Secretary, Wilson says the consumers -need not hopefor cheaper beef. Does he know .of 1 any consumer who-, was 80 foolish as to hope? , ; The Detroit Journal suggests that inmates of. an Egyptian prison "have een counterfeiting money. s v!3The pen is no niore - of a reformative Institu tion than some - of our own."

The United' States Department of Commerce and Labor has made pub lic some preliminary statistics ,con- cernine the population of this coun try as compiled in the last census. The statement shows that the popula tion, of North Carolina in 4910 con sisted of ,764.852 white "males and 745,659 white females. The negro population was: males, 229, 581;., fe males, 358,262.' - . " . According to this report the male population of North &.rolina is larg er than the female- among the white population but among the - negroes the reverse is true. - v . . . The population of the United States (exclusive of Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and. the other non-contiguous possessions) comprised ' In '1910, ac cording to the last Federal census 47,- 332,277 males and 44,639,989 females, or 106. males to every: 100 females; n 1990: there were 1 Q,4. 4 males to every 100 females.- . " , . "-. The' report continues stating that th excess of males 'n the United States is mainly due to the extensive immigra tion, a much, larger proportion of the immigrants being males than females. In the -foreign-born white; population there are 12 9.2 . males, to 100 females. But ' the native wjiite population also has a slight excess of males, the ratio being' 102.7 to 100." ... "- In the negro population males, are outnumbered by females in a ratio of 98.9 to 100. Among the Chinese In ths country males outnumber females by' more than 14 to 1, and among the Japanese by about 7 to. 1.: The -Indians show a.: small, excess of. males, 1 03.5 to. ' 1 0 0 females. In most European countries females outnumber' males; -. the nlmber of males to 100 females according to re cent concensuses being' 96.9 fn Eng land; 96.7 in France, 96.9 in the Ger man Empire; 96.4 in Switzerland, 99 in Italy; 9 6. 7 in Austria; 99.1 In Hun gary and. 98.9 in Russia. '"Vj-1 The, preponderance of males, in the aggregate population of "the United tStates. is most marked In the ; Pacific and Mountains divisions (far "Western States), with ratios in 1910 of respec tively;. 125.5 and 127.9 males to 1 100 females. The proportion of males is lowest in New England, this . being the only geographic division In which ther is a slight excess of females over males. There; are only five States In which r females outnumber males, namely, ..Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland," North Carolina and South Carolina. : NORTH CAROLINA EMERALDS. . Mr. Lovat Frazer, writing The Man ufacturers Record . from Shelby in reference to the North Carolina emer" aid ' mining, says: 'The emeralds are found v in .pagmatite veins, cut ting through a greenish hypersthene hornbend rock. These veins are very Irregular and inconstant, both in sizei dndlldirectfon'tand art Offshoots front the underlying granite. As emeralds have been found here from the top soil down, a method of open trench following has been pursued, care be ing taken to keep the -vein material separate, from the surrounding rock.' The vains are composed largely of feldspar, and are broken up fine by small hand hammers, each p'ece be ing carefully scrutinized. The reject ed vein material forms two by-products, namely,: feldspar and poultry grit, both of which it is expected will be marketed. ' There have been "va rious trenches driven but the main workings are about 50 feet long, run ning east and west with the emerald vein and about SO -feet wide and 30 feet deep These workngs are enter ed by an' open cut 200 feet long driv en at right - angles. "A temporary track and hand dump car are now at use in the cut, but a steel tracks and a larger " car will be installed later. Some means will be devised for washing the surface dirt rapidly and permitting of thorough examination ." Possibly a pump will be installed which will elevate the water. 30 to 50 feet to "a tank and the surface washed in that manner, with revolving screens and picking -'. belts below." " " - AS IT sEraiED to iiir. When Colonel Roosevelt madt his recent - trip through, the South The Newt York Times had a staff repre sentative on the train. The report sent by this .observant writer from North Carolina said that the Republi can party was practically dead in this State. The' same' observant newspa per "man seems; to think that Senator Simmons has . the lead in the' coming primary, , The Times said;:1 Normal ly; there are about 116,000 Republcan votes In North Carolina. ; If ; Presi dent . Taft' gets 10,000 of " them, says the Roosevelt men, he ought to offer a prayer "of -thanksgiving. f . He may not get more than 6,000; and probably will not get ' more than 76 0 0 at the outside. ' 'All the rest will go to Roose velt. Wilson, however, will carry the State. Roosevet. Is not likely to' get many : Democratic votes,, though ,' he wHV get- Stome The old ' Republican party, is' as dead, as a doornail in North Carolina and the few votes Taft will get will be 'those cast by the, friends of Federal, officeholders. : The normal Democratic vote " here Is about -18 5 0 0 0, but this year it "will probably, be larger because pf the Interest . taken in the senatorial election.7 The fight is between Senator Simmons and Gover nor Kitchin, but Simmons . probably twill, be-elected." , '. '? . - . It 1st always the policy", of the shrewd politician;, to . concur 'in ' what he can't prevent. f - ' . , It takes more than a musical edu cation to blow your own horn 'with out striking a discordant note. - THE SKETCHER - Mr. Lockhart has , weighed the Governor in the balances and : found him wanting. No need to be surprised at this. - He has held public offices for several years -and Is now wanting the Senate, and if that and the whole balance' were - given him, he would still be wanting. - N A good book may be a friend whose face never changes', but sometimes-It fails in the backing " proposition. ,i -It- certainly , is a ' proposition to try to get a pair of shoes in Charlotte at any of the stores. ' For several days the Sketcher has been ' looking in to see if a man could be found that was conveniently : through,, but every time he r seemed as if " his time would , be taken ,up , for quite awhile and num bers of waiting customers ,were Bit ting in all the chairs rl - Yesterday afternoon a shoe man said he had not had time to wrap up his bundles and send . them' out, and he pointed . to a stack piled up on a counter. There " were -numbers -of other stacks around the storeand the whole place had the appearance - of J a cyclone ' having struck it from 'j the way half covered shoe . boxes . lay around as if they had een left very hurledly. At all the.; places you have to wait for hours it seems, when you are In a hurry, before a salesman can gett to you," and ' then most - of the people have their special; shoe matt and there is another delay. Eor a per son1 -who : is. somewhat busy and has only- a short time to devote to being shod, it is a little . inconvenient. -; The , Sketcher is not exactly desir ous 'of having any" of ' the ' Charlotte citizens going around without shoes, but if a. few of the number that have been crowding in the shoes stores for the past" week' would just hold up for half an hour---stay in bed a lit tle longer if they cannot, do any bet ter- and give the Sketcher a chance, they, would be doing a great favor because it is a matter,; of necessity here. -""v i'';-;;'-.;"X 7'J-- Maybe' Schrank thinks he is an other Charlotte Corday by thinking it was h's duty to shoot." Mr. Roosevelt, but what lie has done Is only to soft en the hearts of many of those who have been bitter -towards him. Now, in his weakness, some ;of the . papers that have heretofore, scoffed at him, will be printing about his better side which' every man has while the re verse has been shown before and this will iAcite sympathy. ' ' , If there is one' thing ' for which the ' Democratic Donkey should . ten der thanks for on the 5th day of No vember, it Is the birth of . that animal called the Bull Moose. i Jj$7Tm;:.

A correspondent of a New York newspaper says this Is one of the important amendments. - and that .the North Carolina Senator took advan tage of the lunch hour, when the Re publican Senators-who were in charge of the bill were regaling themselves in the " Senate restaurant to put through .- his amendment relating to water transportation. ; This ; 'amend ment provides that when a lesser rate for a longer than for a shorter haul is allowed by the Interstate Commerce Commission on account of water com petition the rate thus allowed shall not be less than a competitive water rates plus 10 per cent of the water rate."
