EDITORIAL NOTES
Now that the State immigration
commissioner has resigned the office
should be abolished by the St ate
board of agriculture. The immigra
tion bureau has been of little bene
fit to the State, and a useless office
shou'd never he retained in North
Carolina.
Some of 1 be disgruntled papers of
the State are haviLg a good, deal to
sav about the Democratic State
'macb'ne" and its supposed ''sla'e"
or next year's State nominations
These papers are supposed to have
the State and county organizations
of the party, particularly Chairman
Summons, and jGovernor Aycock
and the other officers of his adminis
tration in mind when they speak of
the "machine." Their 'atest story
s that the "machine" has "slated"
Locke Craiye for Senator, either
Judge Clark or ex-Judge Shepherd
r chief justice, and Judge Justice
d ex-Judge Connor or George
untree, Esq., for the two associ
ate justiceships. These 'know-it-aV.s'
allow themselves plenty of latitude,
fur it is generally understood that
Ji-'"lges Clark and Shepherd will be
e nly candidates for chief justice.
Th-i three men named will very prob
acy bo candidates lor vne two as
sociate justiceships to be filled next
year hut there will be otners. it is
very probable that Judges Brown
and Hoke and other emipent lawyers
of the State will be candidates. We
raay have an Iredell candidate. For
S n:ifor, besides Mr. Craige, it is un
derstood that Messrs. R. B. Glenn
and C. B. Watson, of Forsyth; Lee
S Overman, of Rowan; F, I. Os
borne, of Mecklenburg, and Julian
S Carr, of Durham, are candi
dates The storv that any one
man has been slated for either
these positions is the veriest
rot. The organization in one
county will support one man and
another in another. We don't know
of course, but our deliberate opinion
is that Senator Simmons and Gov
arnor Avcock have never vet told
a single man whom they favored for
either Senator, chief justice or as
sociate justice. When the proper
time comes they will doubtless have
their preferences as other Demo
crats. The Democrats of the State
will in good time select their candi
dates from those offering for the
various positions, and we have faith
that the selections will be wisely
made. The animus of the disgrun
tled papers ia this silly story is to
injure Senator Simmons, the Moses
who led us out of the wilderness of
fusion misrule, and Governor Ay-
cock, whose eloquent tongue in two
memorable campaigns aroused the
white manhood of the State to its
duty, but they are too well beloved
by Democrats to be .injured 'by the
vaporings of papers whose chief
business now seems to be to injure
the Democratic party.
Cood Words for our University.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The University of North Carolina,
whose representatives won the
championship in the athletic games
of Saturday last on the Tulane cam
pus, has grown steadily in numbers
and influence ror gooa since its re
opening after the civil war. During
the earlier half of the century the
graduates of the University, or of
whit was then known as ' "Chapel
Hill, took and maintained, wherev
er tney went, mgn ranK in law, in
politics, in medicine, in theology
and in the profession of arms, and
by their character and culture made
no mean contribution to the enrich
ment of the South and Southwest.
Throughout the war, when 110,000
Isorth Carohuians - the largest
number in proportion to its popula
tion furnished by any Southern
State enlisted under the Stars aud
Bars, the doors of the honored insti
tution were practically closed, and
the Universitv was all but stripped
of ti e means and equipment neces
sary to carry on its work. During
the reconstruction period ''Chapel
Hill s history was not without
sombre coloring, let of recent
years, and especially during the last
decade, the University has so grown
in power and popularity that it has
won honorable ranfc among tne uni
versities of the South. Though the
institution is not heavily endowed,
its high standard of scholarship and
the ideals of right thinking and
right living it inculcates have at
tracted students in large numbers
to its doors. The friends of educa
tion everywhere will be gratified to
learn that the people of North Caro
Una have at length recognized the
constantly increasing usefulness of
their University and that they have
highly resolved that an institution
which is the distinct glory qi the
State shall be liberally supported in
the work it has thus far sonobly
carried on.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern in the
land who are not afraid to be gener
ous to the needy and suffering. The
proprietors of Dr, King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds, have given away over ten
million trial bottles of thisreat
medicine; and have the satisfaction
of knowing it has absolutely cured
thousands of hopeless cases. Asth
ma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness aud all
diseases of the "Throat, Chest and
liners are surely cured by! it. Call
on W. P. Hall. Jr. Druggist, and

o'clock Wednesday evening, Mr.
John S- Whitener, of Hick ,ry, and
Miss Etta Eugenia Shoemaker, of
this place, were united in marriage,
Rev. W. P. McGhee officiating.
The. church was artistically deco
rated wiih green foilage and pot
flo-er, and the bridal party as it
stood midst this refreshing scene in
the shades of early twilight made
the ocean one of sweet solemnity
and admiration.
The bridal party entered the
church at the first of the procession
al march, which was rendered bv
Mrs. J. W. Kistler.
The Uihers were Messrs. Arthur
Harris. J A. Moretz, of Hickory ,
F. P. Rockett and J. W. Butler, of
Mooresvil'e. They preceeded the
bride and the groom-and took th-lr
positions on either side of the chan
cel. The bride and her maid of hon
or. Miss Maud Carter, dressed in
pure white and carrying a magnfi-
cent boquet, marched up the lef r
aisle, while the groom attended by
his best man, Mr. William Shell, of
Hickory, came in on the righ The
meeting at the altar was the signal
fcr the solemnization of matrimonial
rites, which was brief but impres
sive. The couple received many
congratulations at the church and
station. They left on the evening
train for Charlotte to spend a few
davs and will then return to their
home at Hickory.
The bride received a number- of
handsome presents.
A grand dinner was served at the
home of th? bride's mother, Mrs. A.
C, Shoemaker, Wednesday afternoon
to quite a number of invited friends.
The out-of-town people present for
the dining were Mrs, Carter and
daughter, Miss Maud, of Charlotte
Miss Maggie Thompson, of Wood-
leaf; MissCornelius and Mr. James
N. Bell, of Charlotte-
On account of the washouts and
high waters, the groom and is at
tendants had quite a thrilling expe:
rience in reaenmg Mooresvuie on
time. They drove and walked all the
way through from Hickory, ana bo
sides changing teams a number of-
times, they rode IS m:ies in a wagn
and walked five.

Durham Dispatch, 24h, .
A white woman, a stranger in
the city, who gave her name as Mrs.
Sarah Smith, left her hree-months-old
son with Mrs, Underwood yes
terday for a few minutes aud novv
the police would like to locate her.
She has abandoned the child ami

The mother of t1 little boy is
young and handsome and the story
she told js a pitiful one. bhe 'old
several Deouie, that she had but 5
cents in the world and was a Strang
er in a strange land. She came from
Haw River, she said where she lost
her husband by death a few months
ago.
She came here with the intention
of getting work bmhadbeen unsuc
cessful and had no where to go. The
story touched several hearts and hi
a short while a subscription had

week's lodging and board. In a
short while the woman was quart
ered in a nice b6arding house and
several were OJt looking for a posi
tion for the-woman. he Ses pro

that she would leave the child in her
keeping. ''If I have sinned in this,'"
she said "it is not mv fault. lean
not raise the child and make my own
livinsr. and if I could mv son could
not be raised as he deserves to be.
Kiss him good-bye for me and pray
that I may be forgiven."
She added that she was going r.o
Raleigh, and then she know n it
where.
The rjolicecan find no trac3 of
her. The woman was well dressed,
educated and refined in appearance
It is a problem as to what will be

Governor Ay cock's Sound Doctrioe
Raleigh News and Observer.
Among tne oaoel ot voices, pro
claiming this and tout strange doc
trine and labelling it "Democracy,".
all men who believe in the fundamen
tals will be glad to hear the voice of
Governor Aycock, declaring the
faith of Democracy yesterday, today,
tomorrow, forever. Closing his
patriotic and optimistic speech be
fore the JNorth Carolina bocioty m
New York last night he said:
"We believe in expansion, but the
expansion in which we believe' is the
expansion founded upon the superi
ority of our work and the cheapness
of our goods.
"Temporary prosperity .cannot
divorce us from fidelity to the doc
trine of the fathers.
"We have not vet learned to be
lieve that the permanent prosperity
of the whole people can be founded
upon special favors to some.
"We know that the world cacnoi,
trade with us udIcss we trade wi'a
them, and that no country can fur
auv lone time buy our goods and
Dav for them in money. .
"There must be r 'o procity, aud
the best reciDrocitv is a tariff for
revenue only.
"We wanteasv access to the mar
kets of the 'world. Vte wait with
interest the canal which shall put
us close to the East.
Here in six simple, direct sen
tences Gov. Aycock has answered-
and answered fully and completely
the sophistry and shallow prating
of McLaurinand those who brought
him to North Carolina to give ut
terance to his Federalistic and mo
nopolistic dogmas. Upon these six
principles laid down by the Gover
nor of North Carolina "the people of
this good State stand, and in de
fense of the sound policy he epitom
izes thev are as immovable as the
rock of Gibraltar.

An Innavation in Surgery.
Carthage Tribune.
Drs. Shields and McLeod, of this
place, and Nail, of Elise, performed
an operation on a negro man at the
County Home last Friday which is
an innovation in surgery in this sec
tion, and is rare in the, best of hos
pitals. '
Some three months ago the pa
tient's thigh was broken, and the
broken bone was not properly set,
and the jagged ends lapped and of
course they did not knit together.
On Friday the doctors cut into
the leg, scrapped the broken ends of
the boae, placed them in proper po
sition; drilled two holes through the
bones and fastened thm firmly to
gether with two silver screw bolts
which will be left there until the
bones knit together, and will then
be removed.

The Virginia campaign for Gov

tinues without a serious personal
encounter it will be surprising. To
night Congressman Cla"dc A. S wan
son. one of the leading candidates
for .Governor, writes an open let
ter in which be bitterly assails Hon.
C. V. Meredith for reflecting upon
him in a speech the latter made last
night.
Both of these gentlemen are noted
f r their courage and Stvtn son's let
;!' U 1 kAy to r.j:-u;r, in . trouble.
lr. Meredith is one of the aavisers
of Attorney Genera! Montague,
Swansea's lidiug opponent for the
gubernatorial - nomiuaoiou. In a
speeeh last night at a Montague
meeting here Meredith said that no
gentleman could notice a challenge
from Swanson for a joint meeting if
the iatter accepted votes of certain
delegates alleged to have been im
properly obtained.
"In seeking o put me in the atti
tude of being willing to be a receiv
er of stolen goods," writes Con
grcssman Swanson, "and being un
worthy of the notice of a gentleman,
I charge that he has deliberately
been guilty of both ' falsehood and
slander."
Mr. Meredith is a leading lawyer
in this city and was today elected a
delegate to the constitutional con
vention. He was a gold man in the
last two presidential campaigns.

Albemarle, N. C-, Dispatch, T4th. j
A nugget of gold weighing 174'
pennyweights and worth abvit $200
was iound at tne Ingram gout mine
five miles from here yesterday The
mine which is now being worked on
small scale was sold some time ago
for $5,000. It is now valued by the
parties who control it at half a mil
lion dollars. There seems to be no
doubt but this is a very rich mine.
A labor union was organized at
the Norwood Cotton Mills, Nor
wood, Wednesday night. The man
agement of the mill refused to rec
ognize, or in any way deal with the
union and notified its operatives
that they would be discharged if
they connected themselves with it.
They paid no attention to the. order
and as a result 30 hands were dis
charged yesterday evening.
To Form the Biggest Gank in the
WOrld
New York Dispatch, 24th,
The Mail and Express says: Pri
vate dispatches from Washington
and elsewhere hint that J. Pieroont
Morgan has in mind the establish
ment of "the largest hank in the
world," an institution which will in
volve the consolidation of several of
the more important houses of this
city, the object being the creation
of a bank strong enough to act as a
bulwark between the Treasury De
partment and the financial world in
case of need. It is stated that Mrt
Morgan has conferred with fficials
at Washington as to the feasibility of
such a scheme and that while he has
received no direct encouragement,
the financial system of the country
practically precluding such recogni
tion, yet there are those high in
power who have assured him that
such an institution might be not on
ly useful but actually necessary.
' Balance of Power.
Raleigh News and Observer
The people of South Carolina have
uot quit the Democratic party be
cause they have a constitutional
amendment. There are two reasons:
1. They are real Democrats; 2. They
knew that Democratic defeat would
result in annulling the good of their
amendment. In North Carolina
there would be a third reason. The
number of negroes who can vote
through education will increase
every year. If they are -factors in
politics by reason of sharp divi
sions, enough . will vote in a few
years to constitute them the balance
of power. The place to settle con
tests and prevent political stagnation
in North Carolina is within the
Democratic primaries or conven
tions. Any other way i3 bringing
in a .Trojan horse.
The Constitutional Convention of
1875. by reason of providing for tbe
county government acd other like
measures, sav-. d the State from ne
gro rule twenty years. If the Con
stitutional Amendment passed in
1900 will &avi? the State for another
twenty years, it will be as long as
its friends dare expect. And then
some other expedient will have to
be adopted. " " -
