"Slavery was responnibli for the
coarse and brutal strain which ran
through the- Southern character."
--Theodore Koosevelt.
K L.fi ray, correspondent of the
News and Olxterver, writing of the
funeral of General Ransom Inst
Week, saya that h'lH first name was
'Matt'T. and not "Mnthew"' as
rror has widely had it. His name
was Matt Wh'taker Kansom.
Tho Durham Sun estimates the
estate of Gen. M. AV. Kansom at
one million dollars. He w as the
largest land owner in Eastern
North Carolina and his fine, cotton
farms were most productive, but it
is hardly possible that his estate is
worth a million dollars.
"The moral difference between
Benedict Arnold on the one hand,
and Jefferson Davis on the other,
is precisely the difference that ol-
tains a politician who sells his vote
for money, ami one who supports
a bad measure in consideration of
being given some high political
IHwition." Theodore Koosevelt.
The Crawford-Benbow
Speaking.
Hon. W. T. Crawford and Hon.
; . 13. Benbow addressed the citi
ixensof Macon county in the court
houso last Thursday. The court
liouse was about half filled with
hearers, about equally divided be
tween Democrats and Republicans.
The speaker took up their full
time of li hours each with ten min
utes rejoinders. Crawford spoke
first. As usual he made a good
speech. Mr. Benbow followed
and while he presents a good ap
pearance and , speaks with a clear
voice and quite fluently, it soon
became apparent that he could not
copewitji Crawford in debate.

ooiiricfii mnrrors. a rornhio ihmiL-'I
TH'
er, ana lias mm much experience
in- public debate, and readily
allowed his superiority over his
opponent
Mr. Benbow did quite well,
. however, considering he had a bad
, cause and a dummy case to repre
. sent. ; No one knows better than
Mr. Benbow that the electoral vote
of North Carolina will be ca.st for
Parker and Davis, and no one
" knows better than he that V. T.
Crawford will cast the vote of the
""-T-eHk-djstrict for l'arker and l)a-
v via So there is . not much to en-
thuse or encourage animation or
hope on the part of Mr. Benbow,
and it is difficult to make a good
speech in a hopless ease.
i i ii i
Mr. Benbow madeone bad break
in hit siiccch here which will cause
him to forfeit the respect of his
. friends to a great extent and do him
an injury. Ho charged that Demo
cratic speakers and Democratic
-,. newspapers were responsible for
the assassination of President Mc-
KinlejrSuch an assertion every
twny of every political belief
knows to be wholly untrne, and
Tne Press entertaining a high dc
jtree of respect for Mr. Benbow as
- citizen and gentleman, regrets
that he so far forgot himself as to
make such an unfounded and un-
. necessary charge. It is useless
, here to take up space or timo to
use ' argument to refute such a
charge. So far as The Prksu is
.,'. aware no Republican at any time
or under any circumstances has
heretofore made such a charge.
Mr. Crawford, in his rejoinder,
flayed him for the assertion, and
made, him feel like the proverbial
"thirty-cents."
An Increase in Pensions,
. , In au interview with State Au
ditor Dixon, who has charge of
pension 'matters, he wa asked
about the number of pensions on
the new list anil replied that there
were of tho first-class 94, who will
receive $80 a year; of the- second
class, 2!3, who will receive $45;
of the third-class, 651, whoget$35;
fourth-class, 7,4-28, whose annual
allowance is $14. There are 4.U5U
widows, who receive 4." The to
tal number of pensions" is 13,316,
an increase of 1,848 over last year.
The largest increase inany one
year was in 1U02, when the new
law went into effect, ' and it was
over 2,500. Last year the increase
wus only 743. Special Raleigh

..There are evideuces that Ih
trend of sentiment in Ibis - cam
paigu is strongly toward the Demo
cratic candidates. With respect
to the national ticket the wid
difference between ; Parker au
Roosevelt hud been impressed up-
on the country. The Democratic
candidate is kuowu to . be safe,
while the Republican oaudidal
is kuowu to be uucertaiu. It
kuowu that Judge Parker will pb
serve the coustituliou HUflhe law
enacted under its authority, whil
il is kuowu (hat . the Republican
candidate has little consideration
for either. It is kuowu that Judge
Parker iB the kind of mau who
thinks before he acts while ou (he
other hand his opponent acts first
aud thiuks afterward. Every day
it is becoming more and more up
pareut that the poopleof the Uni

Judge Parker, when elected, mil be
couleut tocouducttbe government

cording to American ideals the
ideals which have made the re
public, the great aud strong power
that it is. A certaiuty of peace
abroad and peace at home will
stimulate industrial activity and
add to the happiness aud welfare
of the people. On the other hand
the feeling tbal Mr. Roosevelt will
continue his intermttiuual med
dling will cause a fueling of un
easiness which will rcHiilt in a dis
turbance of business.
uni u is not tor mat reason
lonti that the American people
look with alarm upon I lie Repub
lican candidate for the presidency
If he should bo elected the shadow
f empire will be upon us. This
fact is not to he disputed or dis
guised. He disregnrds the cou-
titutiou himself and it is llouled
and scorned by his chief spokes
men. WbardoeH it all menu if
not a radical departure from tin-
sober policies, the law regarding
policies and principles of govern
ment tor which the patriots of the
Revolution awl UHrpiilntt who

aud their fortunes? There should
be serious thought betweeu now
aud Nov. 8. The question iB, shall
we have constitutionalism or im
peanalism? Everything indi
cates a determination ou the purl
ot the people to preserve their
rights.
I wo Republican candidates for
Cong ress have publicly approved
the action of President Roosevelt
in inviting the negro Booker
aslnngton to dine at the. W lute
House. They are Spears, tin1
nominee in the Sixth district, anil
Pearson,' the nominee in the
Fourth district. This is honest
goods and more consistent than
other Republicans can boast, who
met in convention and endorsed
Roosevelt in resolutions, and then
deny on the stump being in favor
of social equality.
The news from Raleigh is that
our C. J. Harris, nominte on the
Republican ticket for Governor,
was in that city a few days ago and
visited tho executive office, and

When Roosevelt succeeded Mc-
Kinley there was a surplus in the
treasury amounting to near $100,
000,000. In 1903 it had dropped to
54,000,lMM. In 1904, at tho end
of the fiscal year, June 30, there
was a deficit of fH,lK)0,000. The
deficit for the fiscal year 1905 will
be something enormous. While
the taxea intended- to produce
government revenue are higher
than ever before the peoplo may
as well prepare for an increase if
Roosevelt is elected. He would

So confident is he that this re

he offers to refund -the money
should it uot be successful.
In order to secure the quickest
possiblo introduction Dr. F. T.
Smith will sell a regular fifty eent

Dr. Howard's will cure sick head

simply give relief for a time; it
makes permanent aud complete
cures. It will regulate the bowels,

will take the place of that "don't
