A story remarkable for what it reveals of Republican methods
of collecting campaign fnnda from those who are benefitted by its
legislation was published a few doya ago by the Hartford, Conn.,
Telegram. Mr. Kenealy, Republican Chairman in Connecticut,
went to New York to see Mr. Cortelyou abont getting funds for
the campaign in Cooncctknt. Cortelyou showed him a list of the
industries in that' State that were benefitted by the tariff, and
asked how mnch they bad contributed. Then, according to the
Hartford Telegram, the National Chairman said:
"Mr. Kenealy, you ought to be aaharoed to come here seeking
assistance for your campaign in Connecticut. There’s a list of
men who owe—yes, absolutely owe—to the Rcpnblican perty far
more than you conld possibly use in your State. You onght not
to come here asking us for tndfiey, but yon onght to bring ns right
not of Connecticut at least $1(9,000 to help us on elsewhere.
Good afternoon. Take that list with yon.”

The crucial qnastiou in this disenssioq, and the one is which
the people of the South are interested, is whether Mr. Roosevelt
believes in the social equality of the races and whether he has
proclaimed that belief by his acts and words. He never has de
nied it and his friends closest to him do not deny it for him, and
this one act of his in entertaining Washington is an affirmative
which would need much denial to combat and which is followed
by no denial at all. Our esteemed contemporaries will oblige ua
and enlighten the public if they will fasten their attention on the
one point end devote their discussion to it. Bitber of them might
settle the matter in four days, simply by writing Mr. Roosevelt a
courteous note and asking him the direct, plnmp question wheth
er he believes in the social equality of the races, whether in bis
opinion there is no difference between a white man and a black
roan except akin and hair. We dare both of them to do it and to
publish the result. Now, if they axe sincere and believe in their
roan, let them pnt him to the teat.

Candidate Harris says be "knows no State that needs Re
publican policies more than does North Carolina.” What are
"Republican policies” in North Carolina? So far ss the platform
and the speeches are concerned and the record of 1895-1901, the
Republican policies are:
1. Negro rule, with 1,000 negroes in office.
2. Scandals in every department of government.
3. Craft and stealing everywhere in aqd pot of the penitenti
ary.
4. Prostitution of education to politics that knew no racial
difference in management.
5. Hostility to temperance and subserviency to illegal
whiskey stills and corrupt revenue doodles.
0. Contempt for Confederate soldiers and refusal to care for
their aged and infirm.
7. Opposition to appropriatioos for education, the insane, the
helpless, and other worthless causes.
8. Advocacy of or acquiescence in tye plan to rob North
Carolina of one-third of its representation in Congress and the
electoral college.
9. Approval of or'acquiescence in social equality.
These are the only "Republican policies” known In North
Carolina. Does this State need them? The voters will answer on
the eighth day of November.

“AFTER YOU, MY DEAR BOOKER.”
The .hove cut sbowa what actually took place in tbc White Hooae to Waabiogton. A few
months after Mr. Roosevelt accidentally became President, he invited Booker Washington, the ne
gro educator to a private lunch in the White House. Whether the members of the President’s (am
ily were preseot was not stated, buy it is known that the President wrote Wubinctoa a note iovit
lag bint to dinc^and that the latter accepted. Thia is the first time a President has ever invited a
negm to a pm-aWluwb in the White Honae. Many Republican* have preached social equality,
but few have practiced it. Some say that Mr. Roosevelt did this to show his contempt of the social
customs of the Southed people. At Arlington he aaid Confederate soldier, wen anarchists. In one
of bis books he aaid that onr people were of a coarse strain of Wood. He also declared Ms con
tempt of onr small farmers and agricultural laborers by declaring tbnt drunken cow boys were
"better fellows and pleasanter companions." Read his book on Ranch Life and Hunting Trail if
you don t believe this. White men, will yon vote for biro? Aye more, will you vote for any candi
date who supports hint? — Smith field Herald.

Stanley Nov.,1—In Sunday’s
Charlotte Observer the question
ia asked, "Are there any men
living today who had sons that
fought in the war during the six
ties, known as the war between
the States?” We have looked
up the matter and have obtained
the following list: Col. L. A.
Mason of Dallas bad one or
more that have since died. Col.
Mason is living and is, we think
bale and hearty- Mr. Logan
Brown of Hoyle Creek, at last
report one of the liveliest men in
Gaston County, bad two tons in
the Confederate service, one of
whom is Kvingin Arkansas. Mr.
Albert Nance living near Lowes
ville in Lincoln county had a
son killed in battle during the
war; Capt. William Edwards of
Lincolnton lost a son during the
war: both of these men are liv
ing. Prof. J. M. Dellinger of
Stanley High School informs ns
that bis father is a Confederate
veteran and that his grandfather,
Daniel Dellinger, is living near
Cherryville at present. Vet In a
few more yean there will be
none of these men living.

Mr. T. J. Gordon of west
Monroe township takes the ban
ner as a corn raiser. He bad
this year 133 acres of bottom
corn which good judges estimat
ed would make from 80 to 100
bushels per acre. He has mesa*
ured the corn from one and one*
eighth acres and finds that it
produced 120 bashela. Mr. Gor
don thinks that this was bis
best acre, but was not greatly
above tbc average. These fig*
ores are from actual measure
ments of the land and the corn.

Mr. G. L. Riddle of Zeno,
»•* >u Yorkville yesterday ou
business, and the reporter took
Advantage of an opportnnity to
talk to him a little about the
wheat situation.
"This year's wheat crop,"
Mr. Riddle said, "is the beat 1
have ever teen in this country.
1 refer not to the quantity: hut
to the quality. The wheat grain
is larger, healthier and cleaner.
There was not a great deal sown,
you know; bnt in proportion
to the acreage, the yield was
good."
"What do you mean," the re
porter asked, "by the qualifica
tion in this conntry’? Is our
wheat not aa good as that of
any other country?”
"Well, 111 change that a lit
tle," Mr. Riddle replied. "The
wheat raised in this country this
year is aa good as I have ever
teen from anywhere.”
"What about the probability
o* good acreage being sown
this fall?” was the next question.
"I think there will be a good
deal of wheat sown,” Mr. Rid
dle said, "if the people can get
teed. That is the big trouble
now. Seed wheat is scarce and
the price is considered high.
It is really set high, but many
people think so, and they trill
be deterred from buying until it
is too tote. I would like to see
■ tortre wheat aertage pot in
tW» toll; but aa to whether I
will or hot is, to say the least,
doubtful. It has been too dry
op to tbia time for wheat sowiag
snd the crop ought to be going
In right now.”
Mr. Riddle says his mill has
beta fumy busy since the last
harvest aud the quality of flour
turned out baa been unnsuslly
good.
