The so-called "Local Self-govern merit" plank in the Republican platform reads as follows. ... "We reaffirm our allegiance to the time-honored principle of local self-government, and we denounce he successive betrayals of that principle by our opponents, who long vaunted themselves its cham pions." The plank contains nostatement of any conditions in North Caro lina which deny the right, and it does not outline any remedy. It was so written that it might received one construction in one part of the State and another and different construction elsewhere and was manifestly intended to deceive, and to catch the unwary voter. It is such a plank as one would naturally except, when it is known that it originated with Butler, Settle, one of the leading Re publicans of the West, says it means Local Option, so does Har shaw: while Mr. Hamrick, another Republican of prominence, says it does not. Ruff Henderson, Republican candidate for Auditor in 1900, says it is a "'straddle." Prior to the Republican con vention, Mr. Morehead wrote a letter to Col. V. S. Lusk foresha dowing a plank similar to the above, which called forth a vigo rous reply from Colonel Lusk, who said that it "raises a suspi cion in the mind that something is hidden in the shadow of the ex- pressin to serve as a coup d'tat tobe sprung pn a favorable op portunity." He says: And while on this subject, I will add that it is also currently reported here, upon the same authority, that you have for med an alliance with ex-Senator Marion Butler of Washington, D. C, with the avowed intention of defeating prohibition in this State. Is this report trae or un true?" (This question which Colonel Lusk asked remains unanswered.) I You Need Less of Devoe. Have you found this out? You need less of Devoe for a job than ; of anything else: less gallons; less money. Putting it on costs two or three times as much as the paint. Have you found this out? You can paint Devoe n less time: less time; less money. " Have you found this out? Devoe wears longer than anything else. We don't object to long time be tween jobs. Our customers like it.

John Hamlin says we were in error about that deer chase last week. We said that the chase was for about 3 miles,, and as a mat ter of fact it was no chase atalli the dogs just pounched right 6n the deer before he was aware of heir presence. In looking over 'our notes we find- that the error was curs. The deer was caught within two or three miles of Olive Hill, but no where do we find that the Col. said it was a three mile chase. We make this cor rection in justice to Mr. Hamlin. Up the country home made shoes now on sale at same- old prices.
