A Washington dispatch states that the Republicans will gain m North Carolina at the next elec tion. Why certainly. They will gain a fresh lot of experience; but the trouble is that they nev er profit by it. IT is said that among the Re-1 publicans a strong sentiment favoring the speaker of House ol Representatives for President, has developed recently, Well, what else do you expect from a cannon but a BOOM? THE Industrious News speak ing of the Republican Chair maii'i address at GreensborG says that Adams "sounded the key note.'' Judging by the rows that took place in the county ex ecutive committee, it must have been a discord. MARION Butler recently ad dressed the Chatham County Convention. While the Republi can's doubtless have no hope of carrying that county, stilt it is a little surprising that they should make public admission that thei. cause is hopeless. Republican Party invites the people of North Carolina to turn the Democrats out and let the Adams outfit control the State. . 'Get rid of your dogs, 't said the wolves to the shepherd. "They are dangerous. We wolves will attend to your sheep. NORTH Carolina Republicans are harmonious at last,-" an nounces an exchange. Judging by the latest reports, the Repub can- situation in this state is much like that prevailing when two cats are tied together by the tail and slung over a clothes line. You get a good deal oi noise but very little HARMONY. MR. Britt who resigned the po lition of deputy collector to run for Congress against Crawford will scon be able to appreciate the fable of the Dog and Brook. This particular canine, with a piece of meat in his mouth, was crossing the stream on a plank, when, seeing his own image in the water, he dropped his meat and snatched at the one which he thought the other dog was carrying. Thus he lost his din ner and got a ducking besides. We note that the old time ass is once more uttering his festive bray about the "lawyers running , for office." This is the day of enlightment and education. The people have grown too intelli gent to pay any attention to such miserable demagogical talk. The man who tries to ar ray one class or profession against another is the enemy of all. Besides, anybody with brain enough to contain an idea, would have remembered that the men who control the State Republi can organization, from Butler and Adams down to the county heelers, are lawyers. ' Republican Harmony in Guil ford and Gaston. As an evidence of the regard which the Republican organiza tion feels for Blackburn and his followers the recent performance of Republican County Chairman Douglass of Guillord affords a shining example. Roosevelt nominated Douslass lor postmaster of Greensboro on > ;he eve of the Republican State ! Convention. Thus Blackburn ,vas dealt a treacherous blow in :hedark; for Roosevelt had not xily promised to name Frazier a 31ackburn Republican but actu illy had nominated him. Ye vhen Marion Butler's serpen tine wiles had prevented Fraz sier's Confirmation by the Sen ate, Roosevelt instedd of making j recess appointment for Frazier made Douglass postmaster at the very time when his action was sure to be hurtful if not ruinous to Blackburn. Douglass was also chairman of the Republican Executive Committee for Guil ford. If the Republicans paid any attention to the laws on Civil Service, Roosevelt would of course have made Douglass re sign as chairman before taking up his office as postmaster. It is an outrage on decency to say nothing about its being a violation of law, for a man pre sumably serving the people as their postmaster to be scheming in politics and turning his official position into a partisan machine. But the most unseemly feature of the whole affair is that Doug lass holds tne post office and chairmanship against the wishes of the majority of his own party in Guilford county. The Repub lican Executive Committee met in Greensboro Saturday and passed a resolution expressing their want of confidence in Doug lass and demanding his resigna tion. Of course Douglass refused to resign. Such a thing as a sense of propriety is not to be expected in a Republican organi zation politician. The signifi cance of this incident lies in the plain fact that the Republican machine cares nothing about the wishes or opinions of the rank and file. Knowing that they have not the ghost of a show in the coming election, the Adams outfit is bent upon holding the j offices in sight. In Gaston the Republican masses are up in arms over the appointment to the Gastonia post office of a man who has not been a resident of the State long enough to become a voter. They have thus for refused to nomi nate a ticket. These are exam ples of machine politics in its rot tenest and mo*t tyrranical form. Yet some people congratulate | themselves that the "organiza tion" has become "respectable." Seven Sprihgs News. Seven Springs, Aug, 27, Well as this is my first letter to the i good Hickory Democrat, I will 1 stick in a few dots frorfi this part 1 of the moral vineyard. The health of this section is good so far as I know. Crops look fine in this section. The upland corn is fine, but too wet forbottom corn. Cotton is very good, and is be ginning to open. Fodder pulling i is on hand. Most of the people went to the Campmeeting Sunday, but the writer did not. I have been in , formed that there was plenty of | "Tangle foot" on the Camp Grounds. I hope the ones who were drunk will have to answer for it at the Court House in New ton. A Campmeeting is no place to drink whiskey. I think the Democrats will carry ,this county by a large majority. Mr. Dan Boyed will be the next sherriff of Catawba County. lam a Boyed )nan. Of course Mr. Shuford is a good man, but he is on the wrong side of the fence. . Well, I guess the readers of the Democrat would like to know something about . the Seven Springs. The Springs are two and a half miles south of Cataw ba, N. C., on the public road lead ing from Catawba to Sherrill's Ford. I have the nicest place in the State-all kinds of mineral water, a good place for health, and a nice place for picnics. I want the editor of the' Demorat to visit my place of business. , I am going to get me a merry-go round as soon as I can and then re will have all the fun yoa are coking for. I saw the editor of he Democrat at the Newton j teui.ioti, Mr. Hoibrook is a tme , ookinjf man. • . , , * M. J. R.
