i - HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNA WED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.' ,'OLUMN XIV. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. JULY 31. 1912. NUMBER 4 tliiil No New Party In State. Charlotte News. Colonel Roosevelt's progressive arty will not be recognized in Vorth Ciiroliua this year, the mem j,er9 of this party will have no re perseutdtive on the state board of elections uor on the county boards 0f election, nor yet by Judges or clerks at the various polling places through the counties of the com monwealth of North Carolina, ac cording to the statute law. The North Carolina statute spe cifies that a party within the mean ly of the act of the legislature dealing with elections held within the state shall mean "every politi cal party of.organizatiou whose candidate for governor received as mauy as 50,000 votes in the el ection held August 2, one thousand cine hundred." As a matter of fact the progres sive Fartv did not eist ln 1900, did not have a candidate for gov ernor, polled not a single vote and therefore is not a party, within the meaning of the statute. The governor appoints the state board of elections which in turn appoints the county election boards for the various counties of the state. The law provides that the governor shall appoint not more t'aan three members of this state board of five from the same party aud it has been the custom of the governor to appoint three Demo crats and two Republicans and in turn name two Democratic and one Republican members oi the several couaty boards of election. Then these countj boards select the judges and clerks for the var ious polling places within the county. With two 'members of these boards Democrats and one regular Republican, it is easy to understand that the p:ogre3Sive party will have no representation. But there is no way to prevent the counting of votes cast for pro gressive party electors in the state, wherever they are counted, al though the blank for such returns sent to the various county canvass iog boards, will not carry the names of the Roosevelt electois. The law provides that "The board of county canvassers at their meet ing, in the presence of such electois as choose to attend, shall open and judicially determine the returns, Btating the number of legal ballots cast in each precinct for erch offic er, the name of each person voted for and the number of votes given to each person for each different office, and shall sign the same," Pell's Kevisal 4350. The Republican organization in -oith Carolina is regular and will stand in the Chicago platform and therefore will suDDorfc President Taft," feo a leading Republican tells the Charlotte JTews. He was a Taft delegate to the state Repub lican convention which met in Ral egh, Continuing he gave some most interesting information rela tive to the situation prevailing in the Republican party in this state. "Chairman John M. Morehead and National Committeemen E. Carl Duncan are both for President Taft and a canvass of the present fctate Republican committee shows a majority of four, in favor of Pre sident Taft, according to a poll 'uaaeby Marion Butler at the meeting of the Roosevelt men at Greensboro last week. "The Republican members of tfle state board of elections, Messrs Call and Freeman, are both sup Prter8 of President Taft, and it is a dead moral certainty to my mind tlat the Republican members .of the varimiH nnnU LnJanr rX tiQQ ill be Taft men who in turn WlU bee that the Republican judges aal clerks to which the party is entitled WjU be from the Taffc for or rather more accurately speaking, the regular Republican PartV. Vnn Ui..f-' ery of the state so far as the Re publican party is concerned is in the hands of the friends and sup porters of President Taft. "Another peculiar feature of this situation is that when the state Republican convention meets in Charlotte about the middle of August (I am informed that Au gust 14 is about decided upon,) the progressives will then no long er be members of the Republican party and will therefore have no voice in the deliberations of the convention which will nominate candidates for the state offices, any more than Democrats would have. "Now I want to call your atten tion to the utter absurdity of the resolutions adopted at the recent Greensboro meeting. The first section was practically as follows: "Resolved: First that all vot ers must say who they want, Taft or Roosevelt, and that we will a bide by their decision. "Resolved: Second that the election must be pledged to Roose velt." "You see that the first section pledges them to abide by the, de cision of the Republican voters, and the second pledges the electors to Roosevelt, no matter what the decision of the voters might be. , "If Colonel Roosevelt were to die tomorrow the t rogressive party would cease to exist as they stand for a man rather than a principle. They think of Roosevelt as a Na poleon and fail to remember. Aaron Burr, in whose career many tee a parallel to that oi the present lea der of the progressives. "If Roosevelt was for a progres sive candidate for coveruor first and for Colonel Roosevelt second, he would have agreed to the candi dacy of Governor Herbert Hadley of the state of Missouri at a time in the Chicago convention when Had ley could have been nominated and Taft defeated. But that was not Roosevelt's idea. It was to secure the nomination for Roosevelt, no matter by what means. "The Chicago 'machine' was the machine he had created and used four years and it is laughable .that a man who could 'take' the Pana ma canal zone, should violently protest at the "appropriation' ' of 72 delegates and especially after he had tried to take unlawfully 200 delegates for his own candidacy. "There are many in North Caro lina who are hiding behind the Republican party organization and aie knifing the regular candidate from that position. It is refresh ing to see men like Col.-W. S. Pearson, a Roosevelt leader, stand in open and voice his honest pro gressive conviction, and make the fight for his candidate fairly and squarely. . "This brings us to a discussion of the reports ot " resignations of various countv chairmen in the state who are known to be Roose velt men. As such they cau not remain chairman of the county committees as I see it, and as understand the matter they would i,ot7t nn ripsim tn rontinue at the head of the organization the very nature of which is opposed to their candidate and their party.

Th8 Kind YcuHaYS Always Bsnght IA " Bears the Signature of sr - A Terrifying Ghost Story. Albermarle, July 16. One of the most awful ghost stories ever heard in this section, is today real ly, being told as an absolute fact. The story is one which makes one shudder and imagine himself liv ing in the days of Macbeth and Hamlet, and would make the great Shakespeare take a back seat and brin Pfoe to shame. The etory is that of a terrible ex perience of two young men named Fink andXowder who reside six miles from here near Millingport. The story is told by these twoyouDg men themselves as a positive fact arid as an actual experience, and as heard by your correspondent is substantially as follows: On last Sunday night Messrs. Fink ands Lowder both called on their sweethearts who were eisters. They stayed until about 11 o'clock when Mr. Lowder hitched up his horse and started home, leaving Mr. Fink still at the home of the two sister sweethearts. As soon as Mr. Lowder drove out into the road there appeared beside his baggy a large, massive white ob ject. J Mr. Lowder says the object did not then frighten him, but that he tried to drive away from it. but that it kept just beside him. Becoming very much worried he turned and drove back to the home of his sweetheart and told his ex perience and asked 6neof the bro thers of his sweetheart to accom pany him to his home, but as the brother refused he again started on his way when the large white object again presented itself imme diately beside his buggy and . like Banquo's ghost would "not down.' Mr. Lowder says that seeing .he could not escape the object, in his extremity he spoke' to the object and asked it who it was and what Unwanted. Then it was he says that the object turned into, some thing of the shape of a largo drum, and answered: "I am the ghost of Miss , who died 4 years ago." Mr. Lowder says that upon making this statement the object simultan eously became the likeness of a cer tain young girl who died in the community four years ago, and whom he knew well. He says, she talked with him and told him many things, but made him vow never to tell any person what she had talked to him about, except he says she told him he could con fer with his friend, Mr. Fink, who was still at the home of his sweet heart. Mr. Lowder says after having talked with him for some time the young woman's ghost asked him for 'handkerchief, that he gave her his handkerchief and that she pf eased it between her hands and it immediately caught on fire and went up as the ghost disappeared. When Mr. Fink started home he says he had exactly the same ex perience with the same dead girl's ehost. Both voune men refuse to o : w divulge the subject of conversation which they had with the spirit, and thev both refuse to give the name ot the dead young" woman whose ghost they say it was. They have conferred with each other, but say that the spirit will never allow them to tell any thing that she said to them except as told a boye. The vouner men are said to be well liked and truthful, and it is said that they are neither super stitious. Some people here, how ever, rather doubt the truthfulness of the story.

One hundred and twenty pounds, more or less, of bone and muscle don't make a woman, it s a good foundation, rut in to it faealtb and strength and she . may rule a kingdom. But that's just what Electric Bitters give her. Thousands bless them for overcoming fainting and dizzy spells and for dispelling weakness, ner vousness, backache and tired, listless, worii out feeling.

A new notary in Memphis called on to marry his first couple was completely lost but arose heroically to the occasion and said, the ceremony as follows: "Do each of you solemnly swear that you will obey the Constitution of the United States and of Tennessee, and that you will obey the duties of your oSEct? Then I pronounce you man and wife fo -ever, and you stand committed until all fines are paid, and may God have mercy on your souls." I DEAFNESS CANNOVBE CURED by local applications, as they can not ireach the diseased portion oi the ear. There is only "one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. DeafDess is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. "When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling .sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result andj unless the inflantimatiou can be taken out anj, this rube restored to Its normal 'condition, hearing wil be destroyed forever; nine ca sea out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is uothin but aninflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. : We will give one hundred dol lavs for any .case of Deaf ness (caus ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
