He says: "The speech of Marlon Butler, in the court house, Saturday afternoon, or so much of It as we heard, was not of the effective sort Butler usual ly makes. He was mad air over, and a mad man Invariably says things that do no good. He was abusive rather than argumentative: he was disposed to drive rather than to per suade. The speech he made amused some, aroused the Indignation of others, but It made no votes. If all of Butler's speeches are st to the same temper, he Is goingto do the Democratic party very lltle harm."

Editor Wade H. Harris of The Charlotte Evening Chronicle comes as near as any editor in the State giving every man his Just dues. He la safe, conservative and never over enthusiastic one way or the other, especially when it comes to politics. If the subject is good roads, drain ago, textile Industries or any other subject relating to the development and building up of the South, the Colonel waxes eloquent and becomes enthusiastic. Never so as to poli tics, however. For this reason a statement from him relative to any political event is weighty and hence Not only the ladles but every man In Gastonia as well shmild read the article In today's Gaxefte recounting the achievements during the past year of the Woman's Aietterment As sociation and outiyilbg briefly some of the things they have In contempla tion for the coming year. This or ganization has done much for Gas tonia and will do more in the future. It richly deserves the loyal support both financially and in moral Indu ce, of every man in Gastonia. The friends of Mr. John F. Leeper, of Belmont, are urging him to make the race for the nomination for the office of State Auditor to succeed the late Dr. B. F. Dixon. Mr. Leeper Is a business man of large ability and would fill the position most accepta bly. He is chairman of the board of county commissioners, a position he has held for several years and in which he has demonstrated his bus iness ability. We would like to see Mr. Leeper In the race and would like to see him win It. When the social clubs of Char lotte were indicted some months ago for violation of the prohibition laws The Gazette expressed the opinion that the cases would never be tried It certainly looked that way in the light of past experiences along that line and it took quite a while to get the cases before the court. In Jus tice to Solicitor Clarkson, who pros ecuted the cases, and to the cause a aiit a oi pronioiuon in general, we are pleased to take cognizance of the fact that last week Judge B. F. Long, in Mecklenburg Superior Court, fined the Colonial Club $500. The club took an appeal to the Supreme Court and the final Judgment In the case will be awaited with Interest, lnas much as it will affect a large number of similar organizations over the State. DEMOCRACY'S RECORD, (Continued from page 1.) Mrs. Fred L.

The free school term In 18957 was only 58.65 days; in 1908-'09 It was 92.7. That la to say. 700.000 school children in North Carolina have 34 more days of schooling (that Is, more than 50 per cent more than in 1896-'97, under Fus ion rule), because the Democrats have had the care of these schools these ten years. Again, the pay of free-school teach era averaged" $23.81 per month in 1896-'97. The average now Is $32. 31 which means better teachers, better work, as well as better reward for the faithful teachers of our children. In 1896-'97 there were no rural local-tax districts In North Carolina. Today there are 1,047, and the movement is so sweeping that it commands the admiration of the en tire Nation. Nor were there any public high schools In North Caro lina outside of cities in 1896-'97. Today there are 175. And our prog ress in higher education has been equally as great. Let the reader Judge whether the Democracy of North Carolina de serves, after ten years stewarasnip of our public schools, the plaudit of an appreciative master, ' well done. thou good and faithful servant." It is certain that in no other State In th American Republic has such pro gress been made for publiceducatlon within the last ten years. It is real ly a wonderful achievement. Again, have our public charitable institutions languished or progress ed? What is the record? Progress is written over the doors of every one of them. Ample provision has been made for the insane; and the j mute and the blind were never so effectually provided for. And in halls and corridors where scandal stalked and horror dwelt during the days of Russell, all is order, all is peace, all is hope. Again, has there been administra tive progress in the State? Have the Departments of our State Gov ernment improved? What shall be said of our Insurance Department, which has supervision of the insur ance companies operating in North Carolina; and which has not only saved tens of thousands of dollars within ten years by keeping fraudu lent and weak companies out of the State, but which contributed last year to the public revenues $246, 566.89? Under Fusion, what is there to compare with this achievement? Again, consider the State's prison. It is a paying institution. All we hear of It these days is the story o its prosperity. Under Fusion what did we hear? Only scandal and de ficits. Is there call for a change here. And what of the Department of Agriculture? With supervision Democratic stewardship of our Com- monwealfh Let the Republicans compare with this record the Russell record or the Holden record. Or, let Independent citizens judge of this record by any test. The Democratic party 1s proud of It. Nay, It Is confident In it. It polntr to Its record as the sufficient assurance of Its loyalty to the peo ple, Its genuine service to the State, and its capacity to administer the af fairs of 'the Commonwealth.

Our cities have grown but the farm continues to outrival them. Land values have increased throughout the State, and the condi tion of the farmer, notwithstanding the discriminations of the RepuWi can tariff, was never so good as it now is. These ten years have brought his cause to the very fore' front in North Carolina, and In that achievement the Department of Agrl culture has had no mean part. Over against this record, what have our opponents to offer? Four years of such stench and scandal in our Department of Agriculture, such Incompetence 'and corruption, that the Department was known as "The StaU Manure Heap." What of the State's progress? Has the Democratic policy of con trolling railroad freight and passen ger rates been Injuries to the devel opment of our carriers? There were 3,574 miles of railroad In North Carolina in 1899. There are now 4.454 a gain of about 33 1-3 per cent in ten years. Has our aggres sive policy with regard to corpora tions "hurt business?" In 1899 there were only 95 hanks, both State and National, In the State. To day there are 406. The deposits In these banks in 1899 were 114,836. 607.55; today they amount to 165, 798.032.83. Their total resources In 1899 were $24,931,811.45: today they amount to $ 112,213,767.50. Our cotton mill capitalization to day Is $38.190061. It was not one third that sum under Fusion: while our miscellaneous Industrial capital ization Has risen to the magnificent sura of $58,517,058.
