THE GliEENSBOKO REPUBLICAN
MEETING.
Postm&ster J. W. C. Long, a
ruernber of the State Republican
cuojirnttee, and Col. H. C. Cowles,
clerk of the Federal Court, attended
the meeting of Republicans in
G reeusboro Saturday. Prominent
Republicans, most of them federal of
fice holders, from all sections of the
State attended. Of course Senator
Pritchard was the chief mogul of the
meeting. The Senator gave out a
statement of the work of the gath
ering wnich was evidently intended
to conceal what was really done.
Jim Young and John C. Dancy, the
t wo leading negro office holders ot
he State, were in attendance.
We understand that the "glad
hand" was given to the "commer
cials" and that the negro was told
that he would still be allowed to vote
the Republican ticket but that he
must make no noise about it, as he
might scare away the "commercial
gentry. We also learn that Senator
Pritcbard really expects to be re
elected to the Senate, and that he
relies on the "commercials" to fur
nish the, necessary votes. The one
ghost of the Greensboro meeting
was the uncertaintv of President
Roosevelt's future movements.
While every federal office-holder
present was anxious to welcome the
"commercials," he was still uneasy
that his place might be the one se
lected a3 the feast of welcome for
the expected recruit, and your Re
publican office-holder, like most oth
er people, does not desire that he
himsolf be sacrificed "for the good
of the party " he is not in the pro
bono publico business at all.
Senator Pritchard 's much adver-
ti fed speech at Louisburg, Franklin
vounty, was pulled off Tuesday. It
xa& court week and about 1,000 peo
ple ere in town, about half of whom
heard the speech, the majority be-
negroes. JNine disgruntled
. Democrats of Louisburg have form-j
.-.la liusiness Men s Lieaue wiidi
the pnrpcse'of acting with the Re-j.-ubiioan
party in the future, and it
as to take tbe "glad hand" to these
c.-Mxrr-ereials" that this meeting
was he'd. A lot of revenue officers
and postmasters gathered there, out
there was verv little enthusiasm and
most of that from the negroes. The
Senator delivered the set speech of
the IV-pubiicaus and "commercials. "
At the conclusion ot the Senator's
pei'f'n the crowd called for Hon,
Frank S. Spruill, and this eloquent
Dcux-erat made the fur fly. .He de
nounced the ingratitude of Eastern
white men who desert the Demo
cratic party now after the party has
saved that section from negro rule.
He aroused, the enthusiasm of the
people, and it was evident that
"commercialism" has found but lit
tle lodgment among the people of
Frankliatounty.
A town hall is being agitated for
Moor'esville. The Enterprise last
week has this to say of the matter:
"Thetown can weilafford to build a
town hall at a cost of probably $2V
500, or $3,000. The taxes Jor the
present year will amount to about
$16,50, and of that amount about
$700 will defray the expenses of the
town. That will leave about $900
surplus. And then the town will be
reimbursed from the HarveyMcLean
debt in the sum of about $500, giv
ing a surplus of about $1,400. This
sum with an additional amount suffi
cient to build and furnish a nice hall
can be raised without a great deal
of trouble and without the assess
ment of extra taxation." It is well
known that the tax rate in Moores-
vilie is extremely low, and yet the
Enterprise says that even this low
rate will yield a surplus revenue of
about $900. There are few towns of
over 1,500 population, in this or any
other State, where 700 will defray
the expenses of the town govern
ment, or the lax levy for one year
ield enough money to run the town
ir.r two years. This is one reason
v-hy our hustling neighbor grows so
f?st.
Tbe"commercials"jaeedrxpect but
1 ft deral offices in North Carolina,
t ut they can have their innings next
ear when Republican nomination?
ere beiDg made. Your old-time Re
r utlir-an politician cares but litlk
I .1- a nomination, ardhe will doubt
less be perfectly willing for tbe
eoruinerciais" to lead the forlorr
lopes in the year of grace 1902.

The Republican War is on,
Raleigh News and Observer.
For five years the Republican par
ty in North Carolina has been noth
ii.g but a handful of revenue doodles
and other Federal officers and ne
xroes. In all these years Senator
Pritcbard has beenthe tinquestion -ed
boss of the party. "No man- can
hold office unless Pritchard says so.
He is the boss with a big B, and Mr.
McKitsley gave him carte blanche as
the administration distributor of pie
u North Carolina.
Now that anew President is in
the White House, those Republicans
who oddoso Senator Pritchard s
policies are seeking to have a change
a party management. Ihey are
telling Mr. Roosevelt that if ne re
tdrtns the present gang of Federal
office holders. The Republican party

that this course is necessary if the
Republican party is to be made re
spectable, rney wisn sucn men iu
be given positions on the executive
committee and put in the front ranu
of the Republican party. Pritchard
and his office-holding 'dose cor
poration declare that they, too, wish
to give recognition to former Demo
crats and point to the appointment
of Hezekiah Gudger and D. A. lorqp
kins, both of whom were appointed
upon Pritchard s recommendation.
The Harris crowd say that Prit
chard picks out a few such men who
then become Pritchard s agents,
whereas tbe thing to do is to give
9uch men a controlling voice in the
management of the party.
And the war goes on merrily.
A Newbern Man Clawed by a Leopard
Newbern Jonrnal.
At the menagerie of the Robinson
circus yesterday afternoon a man
had an experience that he will re
member and bore away marks from
the big animal tent to remind him
of his narrow escape.
The man, whose name was not
learned at the time, was somewhat
under the influence of liquor. He
had gotten inside the rones that are
stretched to keep the crowd from
approaching too near the cages con
taining the dangerous beasts of
forest and jungie. Once inside the
barrier the man stumbled and to
support himself caught with his
hand the edge of the cage containing
a big leopard. His hand laid be
tween the iron rods, partly inside
the cage.
The big spotted cat was on the op
posite side of the cage, but quick as
a fiish sprang and struck the hand,
the claws cutting into the flesh. The
man was quick enough to withdraw
his hand before the animal could
fairly fasten. upon it. In doing so
lie swayed agaiost the cage and ex
posed his head to a fresh attack.
Fortunately the keeper now saw
what yciug on and made a rush
towards tbe cap?, seizins the man
,ir,d dragging him out of the way.
The keepei vras much alarmed us
" ?s a' 1 j -1 iwu w;c " J " d"
! oertd fellow that the leopard
ru'bi have torn away the side of
his head in an-.Hhr moment and
warned him to be off. This he did,

Waterton Has Big Ambitions.
Louisville Tliipatch, 14th.
The political sensation of Louis
ville todsy is the announcement in
th Louisville Post by Henry Wat
tersoc. editor of the Courier-Journal,
that he will be a candidate foi gov
ernor of Kentucky in 1903. During
the last week Mr. Watterson has
told several men that he is already a
candidate for tbe nomination before
t he next Democratic convention and
has solicited their support. So far
his candidacy has been in the nature
of a still hunt, and it was doubtles
intended to keep it a secret for some
time longer. Tne friends of other
aspirants for the governorship were
not slow in hearing of the work be
ing done in this city to pave the way
for Mr. Watterson 's candidacy, and
upon making inquiries, have learned
that Mr. Watterson was an avowed
candidate Not only is Mr. Watter
son a candidate for governor, but he
is said to cherish the most profound
ambition for future preferment. He
now desires to be the candidate of
the Democratic party for president
in 1904, and believes that if he can
carry Reutucky in 1903 he will put
himself in line for the . nomination
for president the year after.
Cow Elopes With a Moose. -Bangor,
Me,, Dispatch, 14.
A strange story of elopmeht of an
ordinary milch cow with a biH
moose comes from lake Onawa, in
the hills of Pisceaqua county. The
cow was the property of Dr. A. T.
Sandor, of New York whose cottage
is located on the shore of lake Ona
wa. She was kept in a pasture enclos
ed by a rait fence. The moose had
been several times seen hanging ar
ound the cottage grounds late at
night disp'aying great boldness.
Thursday night he came" close to
where the cow was. The two seem
to be great" friends. Late at night
a tremendous crash was heard. The
next morningthe fence was wrecked
and the cow gone. Neither she nor
the moose has ben seen since.

We live by our blood, and 'on j

our blood is rich or poor. !
There is nothing else to live

When strength is full and
spirits high, we are He ing re
freshed, bone muscle and brain,

When weak, in low 'spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved ; our blood
is poor : there , is little , nutri
