Haskell of Oklahoma shows his faith in editors by of ferkig:to,suhrait his case :to_ a jm-y -composed of them. We dimHknow'ol well upon the charges of a inews iaper. "Taft will vote for d&tyan" were the startling headrlinesin a few days ago. Xhis did not refer t« theaKepufelieatt oandidate hut ,t thertpwn.o: /Baft ia the: State o* MdWtana. 'Outfof 2ao-voters i.

Nattere Jiaving elima tedrthat question, the Democrats ace'now all united. IMr. Rooseveit wrote a .tetter list week offering to 'give bond that ITaft would -carry out '''my policies.''

What G. O. P Means. With worship of the fetish kind the Republicans large and small .fatfryer&andfat fried, fall down in adoration and make obeisance before the Elephant as the sym bol of the Republican party and the letters G, 0. P* as the trade* mark. Boastfully and with much self apDroval the Republicans declare to all comers that the Elephant typifies the great strength of the party and then growing wildly enthusiastic they shout with an excess of strenuosity like to the noise that Theodore himself makes "G. 0. P. means the Grand Old Party." But this tempest of wind doer not convince the public at all a* d men look beneath the surface and scratch out things for them selves. One of them did it the other day and he has discovered the true and hidden meaning of G. 0. P. All along this has been something of a large secret in Republican ranks, but here is an expose that tells the truth. Grand Old Party is to fool the public outside. Inside of the ranks the Radicals who know what G. 0. P. really means nudged each other in the ribs, chuckle softly, and snuggle c'oser to the trough. What the seeker after know ledge about G. 0. P. found out is told in the following, received yesterday on a postal card from Morehead City, and which says: American voter: I notice here an appeal to every true citizen to vote for the G. 0. P. What does that means? Republican Offlcer-Seeker Sure the Good Old Pie. (N. B. this is not copy-right ed.) ' Here you have it. G. 0. P. means good old pie. Pie n the great desire of the North Caro lina Radicals and without pie there would be no Radicals. It is the great cementing force that holds togea her the Republican party. Cut out pie, whether it is Standard Oil pie, Steel trust pie, or the Federal job pie, and the Republican party goes smash to pieces Good old pie is cor Feet, and henceforth Pie is the symbol and the sign of Repub licanism just as in the past it has been the full measure of its existence. It the party of pie and not of principle, and all the hurrah and calmor of the cam paign is not that it ma> be of service, but that it may hold whaUpie itihas and grab more. A western paper says if you can't get buttermilk, tlrirk sweet milk and eat a pickle and we suppose in the absence Of cham pagne, a seidletz powder is about th« next best thing. There-will be held in Greens joro'on October 18th.; A Good cioads Congress at which there vill be prepared and discussed a »ill to-be presented to the coming legislature for the establishing >f Commission ,uid ior such State-aid to road ~ auilding as may seem advisable. The Labor Buieau at Washing ton says that wage&have increas ed 3. 7 per cent in 1907 and -the price of food has increased 4. 2 oer cent. Every Reader of this paper knows that the price of food has increased, but many that there has been no wage in creased. Many others know that work 4ms been scarce and many factories closed down under Republican rule. Not this year has any Repub lican criticized Harriman. On Uhe contrary has been given a free hand. .to further make a monopoly of transportation. By November he will be raising a no£her.Republican-campaign fund i-as'in 1804. His ; latest utterance lis J * The President is coming a- IroundJittle by little; this can be jgeaen-in "hisvarious messages un j.tilfin&ljy he is declearing in favor df*fcha amendment of the Sher man act.*' Do you take the Democ»t? The Mercury's Answer. The Mercury this week said, 4 'ln our last issue we atatecj that when 4(1 r. B. F, Aycock came here four years ago aricj undertook to speak from the bank steps he was so drunk he had to be taken down. We never heard the charges tradicted until the Democrat came out and stated that what we said was false. We sought editor Holbrook and asked him: about it personally. He said that he and T. M. Hufham went with Mr. Aycock from the hotel 1 to the place of speaking, and that he knew that Mr. Aycock wad not drunk, or even drinking. W.j M. Hahn informs us too that he heard him speak and he was mot drunk. So not wishing to do injustice to saint or sinner, we have now given both sides as the were given to us by two or more wit nesses, the Bible requirement that every word may be establish ed, whatever.thft may mean." Since theaboveparagraph ap peared in the Mercury, Mr. Ay cock has brought an action against Mr. Click for damages. The matter having gone into the courts for settlement the Democrat has nothing further' to say about the controversy ex cept to add that many citizens besides those mentioned in the Mercury say that Mr. Aycock was not drunk or drinking* Among the number we now re call A, C. Link, J. E. Barb. There will be no trouble in find ing many more. If there ia any one who will - come out in the ooen and substantiate the charge we have yet to hear him. To the Citizes of Catawba County. The members of the Farmers Union have been accused of working for the interest of a certain candidate in this county, and we t members of Pleasant Grove Union. " We brand this re port as false and believe it has been done by someone not in sympathy with the farmers -and to injure our organization. The constitution and Bylaws of the farmeis Union Article, 1 sec, 40, and 43 clearly states that we shall take no part, as an organ ization, in politics and we ask Hon. M. H. Yount to give us name and address of the party he has letter from stating above report. Also we hope tha f the other locals in this county will take same action in this matter. T. D. Shuford. Pres. Gordon Wilfong, Sec. Notes From-Gun powder. Correspondence to The-Democrat. The farmers are very busy now rounding up their--work -of making hay, etc., and some are gathering-aeorn, .and wheat -land. There has- been one corn shucking. The recent rain, followed by the north wind, makes one feel like winter is near. We had a white 'frost 'this, (Tuesday) morning. A farmer's union was organ ised last Wednesday night -at the Sherrill's -schooihouse with seven; charter .members. Sever al more have expressed an in tention of joirwng at«• the first- op portunity. It is hoped that this may be made a/profitable organ ization. 1 J Quite a good deal of talk and excitement about :politics:of the last few weeks. It seems that most people are for "Bryan for president They aretiredof the kind of "prosperity" we are having now. The Democrats are very hopeful;of electing >the county ticket this fall. fbe ticket is composed of the Very best men imthe county. In fact we, | think the whole Democratic ticket. State and county, wilHse elected without a doubt. The Republicans, where they have been in power seem to,have,done nothing worthy of praise. Mrs. A. F. Hill and children'of tMunroe, but more- recently -of i - - 1 . . i Atlanta are .visiting relatives in this neighborhood. Mrs, M.'iCk/Smftthers and babe left last S&urday to join Mr dßmathers where *fae has pastor on the Swannan a circuit. A.
