Dowie promise J to return ir 1,000 years "10,000 times more terrible." Perhaps his next at tempt to reform N. Y., may be attended with better results. "I have been so busily occu pied that I have had neither time nor inclination to even think about politics, State or National" remarked Senator Foraker a few days since. Has the Senator nc fear of being assigned to the An nanias club? . . . President Smith, of the Mor mon church, is out in an inter view strongly denouncing poly gamy. The combination of high prices and the Easter season was entirely too much for the old fel low. The Proposed Bond issue. The action of the Board of Al dermen in proposing a bond is sue of $25,000 to establish an electric light plant in Hickory; and for street improvements is | one that should meet general ap-! proval. It has already been thoroughly demonstrated that j the town that owns its own pub lic utilities such as lights, water, etc., can and will supply the the public needs cheaper than a private corporation can do. The proposed increase in the i town's bonded indebtedness w&j be more than offset by the sav-: ing which will be realized." -Wiffcj the remainder of the sum, if it is wisely expended as we have no doubt it will be, the streets can be wonderfully improved. One thing however our people should remember. The election will not carry itself. If you fa vor this step in progress and mean to vote for it, register. Otherwise, keep your name off the books.—Contributed. The Sons of Ananias. And now it is Mr." Harriman who has been elected to member ship in Mr. Roosevelt's Society of the Sons of Ananias. Mr. Harriman says the Presi dent asked him to raise $200,000 for the Republican campaign fund in 1904. Mr. Roosevelt says: "Mr. Harriman is a liar. I never did it." But Mr. Harri man produces some correspond ence that sounds very suspicious. Along in the days of the cam paign it was: "My Dear Mr. Harriman." Safe in the presi dential chair the sweet love song: "Please Mr. Harriman, come ic see me," is changed to a fierce battle hymn: "You're a liar Mr Harriman, I never said so. So far as the said E. H. Har riman, trust magnate, rail-roac monopolist, wholesale corruptei and gilded criminal,is concerned, it is small matter for him that ir boodling for Roosevelt's election, he bought a gold brick. He de served all that he got. The im portance of this incident to th - American people is that it fur nishes another proof that during the last campaign the President led both the people and the trusts to believe that he was their can didate. In other words he rum with the hare and hunts witl the hounds. It also afford.' fresh evidence that when Parkei charged the trusts with raising , a tremendous fund to elect Roosevelt, Parker told the truth. When President Roosevelt de nied that charge in language filled with bitter denunciation cf Parker, he was denying wiaat we 1 must believe he knew to be true. J f Roosevelt is really sincere in riis c&mpaifcn-fpr the people, the j lest to be said for him 15 that ht ; ' ; s*i» political jesuit. He beiieves j ,t right to Jo evil that ggod may , dome. V v \ ' - 1 Tic ere is considerable uneasi i ness in administeration circles \ [over tne situation in Cuba On 1 j the surface all is calm, and there | is no resistance anywhere in the island to the provisional govern ment which is supported by the strong arm of the United States. The present uneasiness grow: out of the fact that the existing 1 condition cannot lie continued in definitely. The Washington Gov- i ernment must .?oOn announce .£ 1 definite future policy, and ther« : isjetk that tiS&uble. wits fqjlo* such .afcticgi:- The property inter ests in the island are strongly op posed to the termination of the provisional government and the withdrawal of the United State: troops. Bankers"" are reluctant to extend credit without assur ance that the United States will continue to maintain order. As a consequence tifere is danger that an announcement of the ter mination of the provisional gov ernment i*ay - be. followed bv a period of ousiness depression. On the other hand, Cuban politicians and especially the negro politi cians, are*getting restive and are demanding that steps be taken «o providfc for* an election and | for the withdrawal of the Amer iican soldiers. Thus far theii I discontent has been manifested ! only by words, but there is fear that unless an announcement of | a date for the election is soon | made there will be disorder in some parts of the island. . • »" - Dr. C.

Hufham on "Reaching the Goal" It was an inspiring effort clothed in beautiful language and delivered with persuasive eloquence. On Friday afternoon Rev. Dr. Price, of Lenoir, preached an able and instructive sermon to a large audience. Altogether it was a very pleasant occasion. Mr. Robert C. Shepherd, from 1 Mooresville, brought his best girl to Newton Monday and spent a few days with friends in Hick ory.
