EDITORIAL MENTION
Miss Eiberta, the queen of
the Sandhills, will soon be flirt
ing with the Yankees. Well,
she's a peach Miss Carman is
also quite a queen, and with ro
sy cheeks can puo up a flirtation
which will attract the eye of
our fruit buying friencb. And
bhe's a peach, too
It was observed that the
platform adopted at Greens
boro pointed with pride twice,
viewed with alarm once, but
did not repudiate with scorn
at all. Charlotte Observer.
All of which goes to prove
that the old crowd of shysters
and political turn-coats have
been buried out o'sight.
MacKnighttold the Washing
ton authorities that he practic
ed medicine at Southern Pines ;
he claimed the opposite here,
and said he could cure every
thing through manipulation.
About the only thing he aided
through manipulation while he
was here was his pocket-book.
HOW IT LOOKS.
The way it looks for the St.
Louis convention puzzles the
politicians and the man with a
favorite candidate. On paper
Parker is ahead and Hearst next,
following. A few weeks ago
Judge Parker was well ahead ,
apparently, but recent develop
ments indicate that prominent
men looking to the reorganiz,
tion of the party, profited by in
cidentally recognizing his can
didacy, and at the same time
feeling that another man, if
united upon at the convention,
could win out over the Repub
lican candidate, Mr. Roosevelt.
We can hardly conceive the
plan of nominating Mr Ciev
land, and is it not easy to unde
stand the purpose of the party
leaders in pushing him to the
front on the eve of the convert
tion unless it is true that the
party would feel that it was De-
cessary to success.
McClellan is spoken of, but
he will not be nominated Ai d
altogether it looks as if the Dem
ocrats have an excellent chance
to get themselves together and
use common sense in naming a
standard-bearer.

Mr. Roosevelt will not gain
anything by taking Pul Mor-
'on into his cabinet. Mr. Mor
ton is a youug man of promi
i,ence and can creditably fill
Mr. Moody's i lace, but he is a
recent accession to the Repub
jicau party, and all the old-
limer Republicans are "our, of
whack" with the President for
inking in the sou of J. Sterling
Morton, formerly of the Cleve
land cabinet.
More than 5000'employes of

by Secretary Shaw. And this
is the kind of prosperity our
friends of the present admin
istration refer to when were

things just as bad,
