There is always political talk in the Eighth congressional district and Rep resentative Julian, writing to his pa per, the Salisbury Post, gives the lat est, as follows: "Former Representative J. A. Ash burn, of Surry county, one of the orig inal anti-Blackburn men of the eighth district, is in Raleigh today. He tells me that Frank Linney, a son of Hon. R. Z. Linney, and a young lawyer of ability, will be the Republican nomi nee tor Congress in the eighth dis trict in 1908. Here, as elsewhere, Blackburn's friends admit that politi cally, he has gone down to rise no more in North Carolina. Mr. Al burn does not believe there will be any opposition to Linney's nomination and in this view a Salisbury Repub lican with whom I talked today con curs." It comes pretty straight to The Sentinel that Mr. Charles H. Cowles. one of the representatives from Wilkes in the present Legislature and who managed Spencer Blackburn's two last campaigns, will likely be an aspirant for the Republican nomina tion for Congress in "de "ate" next year. He is chirman of the Con-: gressional executive committee. LINCOLN THE SOITH'S FRIEND. This Rheumatic Pains KelleTed. B. F.

The interstate league of Republican clubs held a notable banquet here to night at the Masonic temple. Twenty states were represented in the gather ing about the banquet board, and a number of rousing old time Republi can speeches were made. I'ormer United States Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina, was to have been one of the principal speakers but he was unable to be present on account of an unexpected business engagement. R. H.

Speeches by Statesmen Declare to be a Fact. Pittsburg Dispatch. Congressman Champ Clark of Mis souri and Governor Warfield of Mary land, with Governor Stewart, of this State, were the principal speakers at ?he annual Lincoln day banquet of the Merchants and Manufacture's association of Pittsburg. Governor Warfield spoke on the topic, "The South as Lincoln Left It, and the South of Today," and in part said that "the South as Lincoln left it," was a country bereft of all save honor. "I firmly believe that had Lin coln lived, he would have given Gen eral Lee his systematic co-operation in the task he undertook of healing and binding up the wounds of his countrymen and directing them in the paths of peace and patriotism. "Lincoln would never have sanc tioned the indiscriminate enfranchise ment of the negro, nor approved of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend ments, nor have tolerated the plunder ing and outrage of the reconstruction period. "It was not'the elevation of the ne gro to a social or political equality with the white man that Lincoln ad vocated. It was the institution of sla very that he disapproved. There a physical difference between the white and black races, which I be lieve will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality." Governor Warfield said that the Rcheme of the politicians who forced the negro enfranchisement to punish the white people of the South and keep them in subjection is returning to plague those who fathered the out rage, as race issue is today more acute in the State of Ohio than it is in any other State in the union. The speaker then presented statis tics of the growth and progress of the South, adding: "You of Pittsburg know better than I do how the South is rising in coal and iron output, and what a magnificent future it faces in these staples of a nation's advance ment." The speaker said the Southern States believed in equal justice to 11 and are satisfied with the constitu tion adopted by the founders of the republic, adding: "They are opposing to over-government from Washington and to any and all encroachments up on the rights of States." GRAHAM OX WAR PATH. The News No Pure Drug Cough Cure Laws would be needea, if all Cough Cures were like Dr. Shoop's cough cure is and has been for 20 years. The National Law now re quires that if any poisons enter into a cough mixture, it must be printed on the label or package. For this reason mothers, and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop's cough cure. No poison-marks on Dr, Shoop's labels and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. And it is not safe, but it is said to be by those that know it best, a truly remarkable cough remedy. Take no chance, particularly with your children. Insist on having Dr. bhoop's cough cure.

Bcaents Action of Lieut. Gov. Winston in Appointing Committee. Ruli-lgh Message Oreenslioro Keconl. 231 li. There were lively times in the Sen ate this morning and the atmosphere was lurid with expectation if nothing else. Senator John W. Graham. autnor ot the Graham passenger ratel bill, arose to a questioh of high per sonal privilege and proceeded to make some remarks and lots of them. He declared in the most scathing terms that the action of Lieut-Governor Winston in appointing on the confer ence committee to adjust the differ ences between the House and the Sen ate passenger rate bill the men who were opposed to the Graham bill was treason or words to this effect. He said the will of the Senate had been ignored and that the action of the Lieutenant Governor was an insult to him and every member of the majori ty by which his bill passed the Senate. The three members of the conference committee are said to be in favor of a two and a half cent flat rate. He said he had heard the action of the president of the Senate characterized as sharp politics, but he considered it peanut politics. He said he had served in the legislature years ago and had introduced a resolution that resulted in the impeachment of a governor; that the lieutenant gov ernor in this matter had tried and executed himself. The people of the State, he said, had been remarkably kind to Presi dent Winston, who had been guilty of many indicretions. He wound up by offering a resolution that the confer ees on the part of the Senate named Saturday be discharged, but the Sen ate proceeded wih its business and nothing done. It is understood, however, that a caucus will be held tonight to talk over the matter. Among the bills passed by the Sen ate today was one to increase the number of challenges on the part of the State in cases less than capital offenses. The House spent a great part of the day in committee of the whole on the revenue bill and later passed it on its second reading with the understand ing, however, that additions or changes would be made when called up on its second reading 8200,000 STOLEN FROM V. !

Somewhere between ijUTfi.OOO and $200,000 was stolen from the United States suit-treasury last week. The authorities here in Chicago and in Washington have been working night and day on the robbery since it was discovered. Secretary Shaw was told of the gi gantic theft when in Chicago last week and wan in conference withSub-Trea.suru- William Boldenweck and secre service officials. The money was stolen either a week ago Saturday, the next day, or last Monday. The chances are it was' ab stracted on Monday. The loss was discovered on Tuesday. All the money take was in large bills, bills of the denomination of 1, 000, $5,000 and $10,000. It was U. ... 1. ' ill i i . i inuugni lu ue iinpossiuie inat sucn a large sum of money could have been abstracted in face of of all the safe guard thrown around Uncle Sam's strong boy. The ledger men involved strenuously denied any error and an investigation showed there was no possible clerical mistake to account for the disappearance of the cash. This brought the inevitable conclusion that the robbery was the only explana- j tion. Just as certain was the deduc-1 tion that the thieves were employes ! of the sub-treasury and were at that moment pursuing their daily tasks. Every man who could have had any thing to do with this case was, called into Treasurer Boldenweck's office and put through an exhaustive examina tion and a still more rigid cross-examination. Captain Potter, of the secret service, assisted in the inquisi tion. All denied any knowledge of the theft and protested their inno cence. Every employe of the office is under surveillance day and night and should one or more of them prove to be the thief or thieves, escape will be impos sible. All have reported for, work daily since the discovery was 'ma.Ie. ivery man, too, is under bond but it to any amount near the lot secured. That the robbery was committed during working hours is almost a certainty. The plunder could have been concealed in two vest pockets.

Then a cold wave comes and people say that grip is epidemic. Colds at this season are even more dangerous than in mid winter, as there is much more danger of pneumonia.

We have no sympathy whatever with Tom Watson's attempt to place Lee above Washington. Gen. Lee is nearer to us, he suffered more with us and for U3, we love him above any other; but the majestic figure of Washington towers out of American history above all other men, and even "the greatest captain the English speaking people have ever produced"' should not be forced into rivalry with him. Such a comparison is peculiarly odious. Gen. Lee revered Washing ton above all other men in history, and the soul of Washington surely loves the soul of Lee. The homes l j.-i i. , .l, ah ui.ii.iwii i, eiieittiiuiia Uley lived were side by side and they were growths of the same civilization that civilization which lead had no power to destroy but which is now threaten ed by gold. Feud between the mem ories of these great Americans is impossible.

What may prove a fatal accidental shooting occurred in north Iredell late yesterday evening, when a 38-calibre pistol in the hands of Marcus Williams was discharged, sending a ball into the body of his comrade, Mack Wood ward. The shooting occurred in the barn of Mr. Jno. I. Douglas, near Eu peptic Springs, and the young man who did the shooting claims it was purely accidental. Dr J.'E. King was called and dressed the young man's wounds temporarily and Dr. II. F. Long, of Statesville was notified. The young man was brought to Long's Sanatorium in Statesville this morning and the physicians tried to locate the ball, which had entered just below the ribs'bn the right sjde, taking a down ward course Young Woodward is about 18 years of age and is a son of Mr. John Wood ward.

Tillman and Hamlet. i C'liai Uitu- obsi-rver. j According to The Washington Her ; aid, Senator Tillman has now booked j engagements to speak every week-day night and several Sunday nights from the day when this session adjourns until Congress meets again on De cember 2, except three nights still left open. "For these speeches," says The Herald's story, "he has a contract at $200 a night with a lyceum com pany that assumes all risks as to con- i neetions by rail, rent of hall, and j similar details. His first date is Bal- j timore, on the night of March 4. ' March and April will be spent in ; Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and : North Carolina. His tour will extend ! into the far West in the fall, and dur- j ing the summer he will be heard in j New England and the middle West, j July 4 he speaks at Ashland, Ky. He 1 is free to speak of any subject he may j choose so long as his effort Ls the I characteristic Tillman speech. The j Senator's honorarium in the grand to-.' tal is $43,000 for the summer's work I --more by some than he could makel tending' his cotton crop in the Pal metto State." Senator Tillman does well to gather in all the wealth he can this summer, for the already no torious Jeffries Davis' mouth must be watering and he will doubtless come along next summer to contest the be lief that the South Carolina Senator is the only negro-hating wild man in captivity. We trust that he will re serve his very best stunts for the North Carolina audience or audiences which will let go their cash to gaze wonderingly upon him. At the close of the season he can earn further large sums by performing for the phonograph record people, who are always on the lookout for first-class specialties, and for the moving-picture films such a furnish the enter tainment oh Charlotte's War Path. In fact, he may find it to his interest to go regularly into vaudeville, appear ing in the Senate at intervals to fresh en up his fame by a brain storm. He would not have come aroui... to this form of activity in a single day. All hi anti-negro fits, including even the latest, may have been genuine seiz ures, but they must by this time be closely associated in his mind with their money-making possibilities. Col. Hamlet, of Denmark, was not the only man in whose madness in dications of methods might be detected. 1 World Is Our arket The People Our Cus tomers.
