"Fair Play" Answered. The Attack On the Demooratlo Organization Resented. An advocate of - Col. Carr, writing in The Post of Sunday over the nom de plume of "Fair Play," says: "The, vot ers of this country have two classes from which to select their candidates for office the professional politicians men who start out to make their living out of pol itics, and the substantial working bust neaa men, who by their industry and close aDDlication succeed in buildinar un material growth and development of the commonwealth." , He declares that the former look only "to his own oolitica advancement and io most cases is utterly regardless of the means he uses, Neither does be care whether the State is bene fitted or not, so be accomplishes bis pur pose and succeeds In building up a ma chine for himself that be may prolong bis hold Upon office." He .then argues that we must not select a senator Irom this class, but take Gen. Carr who repre sents the other class. Col. Carr, in his Mt. Holly speech, as reported in The News and Observer, de clared that be had no "machine . behind him; that he was the peoples' candidate and would be elected if he could gee a free ballot and fair count at the bands of the Democratic organization. ' , The clear intimation from "Fair Play's" article is that Mr. Simmons "to accom plish his purpose and succeed in building up a machine for himself" has been ut terly regardless of the means employed and has not cared whether theState was benefitted or not: that be procured the appointment ot various committees throughout the State, not in the interest of White Supremacy, good government and the election of Bryan, but to acconv plish his own personal ambitions. The scan correspondent of the Charlotte Ob server, writing from Winston, says that Mr. bimmons is being charged with every iraud irom bawot box stuffing to high way robbery: - "' 1 vJ-.:: 'v, r In '96 the party demanded 1 Col. Carr personal services not bis money. He declined to servo because be said his wife and business associates did not desire him to enter politics at that time. ? f In 1898 the. party secured the personal services of-Mr. Simmons.' He is a poor man, dependent upon the income from his profession 3 a lawyer for his support. but he readily cave up his business for more than a year and gate his entire time end talents : to . the party, besides paying at least one-seventh of his! entire estate to the cause, and with the aid of the Democratic workers, succeeded in re deeming the State and in making White Supremacy permanent. -; Under our plans of organization in each of these campaigns, each precinct in the State selected its own precinct committeemen; each county convention elected the county committees, and 3 the delegates to the State convention named the State committee. The several com mittees worked harmoniously and with great zeal, aided by the great army of emocratic workers, and the great vic tories for the good of the State were won. ' f. The friends of Col. Carr, now insinuate that these committees constitute a "ma chine" which Mr. Simmons has built tip for his own "advancement " which will be ''utterly regardless of the means em ployed" to defeat him CqI. Carr. as one oi ine numoie juemocrauc wors ers, in behalf of the State and of the county and precinct committees and of the host of Democratic workers, I resent these unjust insinuations. These com mitteemen are among our best and brav est men. They have worked day. in and day out for the good of the State. They have remained silent under Butler's vili fications and have not feared Holton's federal prosecutions, but they will resent these unjust insinuations by men in their own party. It is upon theso same committees and Democratic workers that Mr. Bryan must rely to carry North Carolina in Novem ber. Are those who would discredit these vicarious workers friends of Mr, Bryan? Until now, no one but Butler and bis bfH-lers, has thonpht to call these men the "Simmons machine."

RON OUT BY fpS . -1 : fr-i Bryan Tells How the Standard Oil Co. Drove Monnett From Repub lican Party. - - ,f New Lexington, Ohio, Oct. ,13. Mr. Bryan referred in both his Cfrcleville and Lancaster speeches to the case of Attor ney General Monnett, of this state. At Lancaster he made that official the prin cipal theme of his discourse, saying: ; Ci i "I want to call the attention of Kepub licans to something which has taken place in their own state, and I want to ask the Republicans whether they can afford to endorse what has been done by the Republican party in this state. I see before me parents who are raising sons, and those parents are hoping for great things for. their eons. , I want to tell yon what has occurred in connection with young men in Ohio. ' ' "Jf" " ' ."There ' was a young Republican of ability and of character nominated for attorney general of the state of Ohio When he entered upon the duties of his office be took an oath to peiform these duties to the best of his ability, and in the course of his duty be was called upon to commence suit under the laws of, this state against a great private monopoly, the Standard Oil company, and as soon as he commenced suit the company began its persecution and its opposition. ; "It first , tried to frighten him out of doing bis duty, then it tried to bribe him Out of doing his duty, and When it could neither frighten or bribe, it went to the Republican party and defeated him for doing his duty. . "I want to ask yon' parents whether yon want to bold before your sons as an ideal the Republican - party as it now stands, where a young man like Monnett must be driven out ol the party because be dares to defend the laborer, the farmer and the business man from the extortion of private monopoly: t ...v .. ; "Republican fathers, can you afford to tell your sons that it is better for a man to betray bis trust than to do his duty? uan you teu your sons tnat it is tetter for a man to violate his oath of office than to risk the hostility of a great cor poration? i "If Monnett-can leave the Republican party, cannot the farmer and laboring man and business men whOBe.. interest he tried to protect, afford "to leave the Re publican party, or will yon say that you are so wedded to the Republican party that yon would rather stay with the Re publicans and defend the monopolies of this country than to leave the Republican party even for a brief time in order to obtain reliei from tnem." : . Continuing, Mr. Bryan said that this opposition to the enforcement of laws was not confined to the state of Ohio but was found in the Republican administra tion of the affairs of the nation. He con trasted the conduct of the affairs of the nation with the conduct of the legal busi ness of his own state of Nebraska, where he said the Democratic attorney general was obeying the law and prosecuting tne trusts. Democratic Meetings Everywhere, Chicago, Oct. 14. From ocean to ocean, and from the Great Lakes to Gulf, in every city, town1 and village of the country, Democratic meetings will be held October 27, and will be addresed by the ablest speakers that the scope of this gigantic plan will permit.

In the consummation or this plan tne tf ns of thousands of clnbs affiliated with, or members of, the JNationai Association of Democratic Clubs will be asked to lend their assistance. . tost Man? r olden opportunities hare been lost by thot ho suffer from rheumatism.

Three Floors Collapse Under Im mense Weight." . Greenville Reflector. , , Late Saturday afternoon the 200 hands employed in the leaf tobacco factory of Roberi Ficklen were alarmed by the creaking ot timbers and the giving away of floors beneath them. Some jumped out of windows and others rushed for the doors, and when all were clear of the building there was much relief to find that not one of them had been injured. An investigation showed that three floors of the building had given away simultaneously. The building is five sto ries high, and every floor was crowded full of tobacco, so large had been the purchases of the firm. Such immense weight was more than the building could stand, and from about midway the bouse to the front the first, second and third Doors fell in. The first floor had only about two feet clear from the ground and the inside studs kept the other floors from coming down more than about the same distance. But for this it is prob able the entire building would have col lapsed. Mo6toftbe pillars under the building are careened out of position and the wnole structure is more or less twisted out of shape, and It looks like it will cave to be torn down and rebuilt before being safe cgain. - Clmmons For Senator.
