HOPE FOII CnAIlLOfTE YET.
Now Charlotte is hilarious over
the faot-that Preeidect McKinley
slept a little in Charlotte while the
train sapped on the yard at the dex
pot, that Hon. Wm, J Bryan smiled
at a few people while he was clad in
a rather ordinary Bait of clothes and .
that Miss Li la Conyere Jones deigned I
to let some young men of the city
squeeze her band and some young la
dies kiss her on the cheek and thinks
all these something to crow about
while the real lesson is being oyer,
looked T 3 the one lost sheep that
getE tr. ation while the ninety
and rt iat go not astray are
har Mia 4'ht of.
I ui t hoped that the Presk
dent, ; i'a better by Charlotte on
some future occasion. A for Mr.
Bryan no doubt he had Charlotte "in
his mind when he resigned the
military service, that could now
spare him, to return to civil life to
build up the waste place3. He, too,
can; be expected- to come to the
farther relief of Charlotte after he
gets home, doftV the last of the &o
companimenta of camp life, pats on
new suit of clothes and feels ready
for a grand missionary job.
- Miss Jones, too. consnires to do
.
all in her power to help up Chars
lotte to a level of her sister towns
that need not so much of her precU
ous time.
Well, if all these efforts fail we
shall have to get a Spanish trocha
aronnd her and employ a herd of ele
phant tamers and turn them in.
that some little formality was
neglected in the Legislature in
passing the4 bill. The people of
the county knew what they wptp
doing! These repudiation lead
ers should be spotted.
AN IN VESTIGATION KEEOKD.
The Raleigh correspondent
of the . Charlotte Observer
stated, a few days ago, that it
was rumored that Treasurer
Worth had advanced $50, (?00
to the management ol the
State penitentiary to keep that
institution going. This story
need not be called a rumor.
The Landmark has straight
information that the State
Treasurer has not only ad
v anced the penil entiary $50,
000, and Is now frightened
nearly to death for fear he
won't get his money back, but
that the institution is owing
debts which it cannot pay.
We happen to know that in
one instance it owes one conn
cern $15,000 and the account
ha8been standing for some
time. -
The Legislature should in
vestigate tun management of
the penitentiary and the inves
tigation should bn prompt and
thorough. There is no sort of
question that the coacern is
reeking with corruption and
immorality from top to bot
torn. The scandalous mismans
agement should be thorough
ly exposed and while the
Legislature is about it it
should find out by what au
thorny Treasurer Worth has
advanced the State' sT money

With the retirement of Judge
Jas. D Mclver from tbe superior
court bench the judiciary in North
Cro'iwa has lo3t one of the purest
m-ti wbo evr -or'r the ermine.
Owing o his health he was not
noiniuaied this year, and he will re
tire to the quiet of bis Lome at
Carthage, loved and admired by
peop?e all over North Carolina with
whom be has come in contact ours

DOS'f WAST TO REPUDIATE.
The county commissioners of
Buncombe have in the most em
phatic terms expressed their con
demnation of the action of their
predecessors in bringing suit to
repudiate the $98,000 bonded
debt of the county- They declare
that they do not believe that the
citizans of the county desire to
repudiate these bonds on a mere
technicality. On the day, we be-
T 1 1 I 1
neye, mat tnese commissioners
passed these resolutions the su
preme court at Raleigh confirmed
the r ctn 0f tbe lower court in
repudiating the bonds. The mat
ter is to go into the Federal
courts, however.
It is a noble act of the Bun
combe commissioners and a very
just lebuke to the man or men
going over the State nosing into
every chance to stimulate repu
diation of debts made in good
faith. A dishonest character can
always find an excuse satisfactory
to himself for not paying an hon
est debt. In the Buncombe cas6
it seems there was not a shadow
of excuse for non-payment, but
to the penitentiary. If his act
is unwarranted he . should be
impeached, StatesviJle Land
mark.;
Oh, pshaw, now I Don't
spoil Mr. Caldwell's pretty
picture that he drew on the
Congressional race. The pen
itentiary was then blossoming
like a rose, "one of the best
managed institutions in the
South," and would come out
$2,500 ahead this year. Let
Treasurer Worth come and
drink comfort from the foun
tain in South Concord. Only
Democrats are insincere.

The sooner a cough or cold is
cured without harm to the sufferer
the better. Lingering colds are
dangerous. Hacking cough is dis
tressing. One Minute Cough Cure
quickly cures it. Why suffer when
such a cough cure is within reach ?
It ia pleasant to the taste. J P
