HE'S DENOUNCED DUNCAN'S BAD TREATMENT OF MR. MOREHEAD. Real Head of Organization Said to be Ruining Party's Chances in This District. It has come to the knowledge of the public that the' appointment of Mr. Glassom of lHirham as census super visor io this district was brought about by K. C. Duncan, the receiver of the Seaboard Air Line Railway and receiver f jr a great many years of a fat salary from the government, and who long ago set out to be dictator of the Repub lican party and dispenser of the Federal oflices in the State. That this appoint ment was made against the wishes of Congressman Morehead is well known, Mr. Morehcad had recommended Mr. Blair of Forsyth county for the position, but Dictator Duncan filed charges against Mr. Klair and on the eve of the President's departure on his western tour railroaded ' through the appoint' ment 01 Mr. Glassom. This appoint ment, If it stands, will be a severe blow to the Republican party in the Fifth dis trict. Its purpose will be to strength en tne Duncan machine, as it is a sure guess that the appointment of every census enumerator in Mr. Morehead's district will be dictated by Mr. Duncan, and every one of these enumerators will be pledged to fight Morehead. It is well known that Mr. Morehead is a strong man, with too much self respect to wear any man's collar, and because he will not submit to the interfeiance of theSdiiboard's man in the political strain of his district, Mr. Morehead shall be driven out Of public life. This his been Duncan's tactics all along that no man not wearing his political collar should be permitted to remain in the public service. History is only re peating itself, and if Mr. Duncan has his way, Mr. Morehead will be retired t) public life and the district will return to the Democratic fold. The last Republican to represent the Fifth district in the national Congress, biforethe election last year of Mr. Morehead, was the brilliant and beloved Thomas Settle. No man was stronger or could do more for the party than Mr. Settle, yet,' because he would not demean himself into a Duncan booster it was decreed that he should never again be elected, and in 1898, when the Republican congressional convention was held in Graham, Mr. Duncan came down from Raleigh, invading the Fifth district, set up headquartrs, and by questionable methods secured Mr. Set tle's defeat, and the district remained on the Democratic side until last tfiear when it elected Mr. Morehead and gave a majority for Mr. Taft. Thus did Dun. can defeat Settle and practically drive him out of the district and into private life. But It would have suited Dun can's purpose better could he have driven Settle out of the Republican party. He wants no strong or Inde pendent man In the party; His pur pose now Is to treat Morehead the same way, The Republicans of the Fifth district are a freedom -loving people, and they will not calmly submit to the dictation and Interference of Mr. Duncan In af fairs they have placed, by their votes, Into the care of Mr. Morehead. They should protest strongly now against this outrage on the part of Mr, Duncan, t the success of his plan will mean Democratic success in this district next year and for years to come. I cannot believe that Mr. Taft will allow himself to be made a party to such an outrage- His desire for Republican growth in (he South is well known and he would not, if fully advised of the true conditions here, assist in perpetrating a wrone that would wreck the party if the Fifth Harden in the fifth District Politics. The everlasting fuss amongst Repub licans in the Fifth district dates hack to the time when Collector Duncan went out of his way to dictate a Con gressional nomination at Graham against the brilliant Tom Settle, who had redeemed the district before a Kitchin came upon the scene. Settle would not bend the knee to the Pritch ard stone roller and it was decreed that he must be cast out. So a negro, one Dr. J. .E. Sheppard, was made the uliant tool at the Graham convention. Shortly after this he was foisted upon the revenue service, in payment, as a sreneral store-keeper-nueer to 0 around amongst white distillers and stamp out their liquor. After a few trips, he learned that it was a very dan gerous job for a negro to bold if he de sired to live long. Then he quit the service. But it is awfully strange that with a newly inaugurated daily (Republican paper, at Greensboro, prominent Re publicans like Mr. J. II. Harden, of Graham, should be compelled to air their grievances against the Republican boss through a leading Democratic daily, outside the Fifth district. But perhaps ihe dictatorship of the policy of .this paper is cause for reflection. It also seems that there are no Republi cans in the great big party (outside of officials) fitten to be editors of the or gan, but Democrats are requisitioned for such places when ability is needed. It also transpires that there has been recently the customary right over a postofDce at Graham. We shall see whether the boss will cause Mr. Morehead to eommit hari kari, or whether he will make an out cast of him for the benefit of some featherweight Democrat. It is twaddle about the boss being a candidate for Congress In that or any other district. He is much too shrewd for that. He does not wanl to know what the rank and file of his party thinks' of iiim. A. V. Dockery in the Raleigh News ana Observer. Mc Apples This Year, Tbirty-flve iniilloo barrels, or 12,000,. 000 barrels more, than In 1008, is the estimated apple crop of the United States and Canadn this season, accord ing to Ren D. Rice, aewrary-managef or the second national apple snow In Spokane. Nov. 15 to 20. Mr. Rice said: "While the quality of the product east of t be Mississippi river is not as good as last year, the crop will be much larger and probably more profit able. The yield In the states west of the Mississippi is Hunter than in 1008. but tbe fruit Is of a better grade." The International Apple Shippers' as sociation has issued an official state ment that tbe crop in the New Eng land states Is 20 per cent In excess of 190& while tbe yield In tbe central states is about VA per cent below last year, and tbe middle western states report a crop double that of last sea son, when the yield was light Growers in tbe southern states re port a crop of from 125 to 150 per cent larger than In 1008. Tbe Poclflo group will have a smaller crop than hut year, but tbe decreases la Idaho, WaihlogtoD and New litxtco art more than made up by the big yield in OoU orado, to that the wsstern crop will be fully ns largo aa tbe previous sea ion. ' . - -. . - Losses are shown In reports from New Fork. New Hampshire, Kansas and Oklahoma. Michigan and Wis consin and other states have gains. Tbe Dominion of Canada, not Includ ing Nova- Scotia, shows a gatn of 75 per cent, and the crop In the province of Nova Scotia Is fully as large as In 1908. when a bumper crop was bar vested:" Pension Lbt Received. Mr. J. T. Smith, clerk of the Superior Court, has received the lists from State Auditor B. F. Dixon of those who are entitled to psnsions in this county. The lists show those Confederate veterans and widows of Confederate veterans who are still living in this county and en titled tb pensions and the list bas been placed on the bulletin board at the court house for future record. First-class pensioners receive $72 a year. The second class pays $60, the third class $48, and the fourth class $30. They are the usual amounts paid, but they sometimes vary a little. The pen sions are paid out of the State taxes levied for the'purpose and are allowed oa a pro rata basis. ; The principal reasons for which the old soldiers in this county are allowed pensions are for wounds, disease, age, general disability, and poor eye sight. In Addition to the old soldiers, wid ows in this county are allowed pensions. : Lobster or Dogfish?

Is a type of the college man lu politics. A brief description, of 1 1'arsons would blng out these points) lie Is chair man of tbe Jtepubllcau committee of New York county, a place he has held for several years; a member of con gress, an Intimate friend aud lieuten ant of Theodore Roosevelt, twice forced the nomination of Uovernor Hughes, brought about tbe nomination, of Otto T.

Is forty years old and finally says he Intends to fight for honest elections In New York city until be wins. Charge Made by Parsons, The specific charge made by Mr. Parsons, which Is causing trouble not only In New York city, but In the Em pire 8tate and In tbe nation, Is as fol lows: ',:. ' "We know that Tammany nail is planning frauds. In tbe last session of tbe legislature we sought legisla tion to perfect tbe signature and other registration laws. It was defeated through a combination of Tammany men with some up state Republicans. We discovered that It was part of the deal entered Into to get support from Tammany for Speaker Cannon and bis rales In the bouse of representatives. No information of tbe deal was giveu to New York city Republicans, either in Albany or Washington." Vehement denials were entered to the charge by Stealer Cannon.. Slate Senator John Raines, Congressman Malby and others said to be involved. In reply Parsons reiterated hl state ments, said he knew them to be true and further charged that, although Raines Is the Republican leader of tbe senate at Albany, bis sou bad been given a lucrative Tammany position at tbe time of tbe transaction. As to Cannon, Mr. Tarsons said he bad noth ing further to say now, placing empha sis on the "now." : Helped by Tammany Men. At tbe time the Tammany congress men rushed to the support of tbe Can non rules and saved them from the Republican revolt ugly rumors were heard u Washington charging some such a deal as that now definitely put forward by the chairman of tbe New York county committee, Congressman Bonnet, another Roosevelt supporter and official manager of Bnnnard's cam paign, says. "I am glad that Mr. Par , sons has mnflo this statement." Other like support assures that the matter Will not only be an Issue In tbe city campaign, but in the next Republican state convention and in the coming session of congress. Parsons Is not only a fighter, but a resonrceful political leader, as he has shown in a score of previous contests One of tbe most spectacular of ihese was that in which he whipped ex Governor Odell to a standstill In nn nil night sesRlon of the New York count? committee.

The most interest iug case scheduled, to - come up for a hearing is the appeal case of T. M. Angle, former president of the Dry Fork Distilling Company, charged with extensive revenue frauds.

Mr. Richardson said that he had discussedthis matter with some of his neighbors and they were all agreed that a county fair in Reidsville would pay and that it would be of inestimable benefit alike to the town and county. He and his neigh bors, to whom he made i eference, he said, were ready to subscribe for some of the capital stock of a fair association company, and he expressed the hope that some one would undertake to or ganize such an enterprise.

IN A BRIEF FORM THE NEWS SINCE OUR LAST ISSUE CONDENSED. Sparks Caught Hot From The Wires, Dealing With News Of Various Sections. November 12 is the new date set for the first electrocution of a criminal in North Carolina. Charles D. Crane has resigned from the-post of minister to China. Secre tary Knox thought the good of the ser vice demanded Crane's resignation. Clarence II. Poe has resigned as a member of the Torrens Land Title Com mission and Governor Kitchin has is sued a commission to Geo. W. Connor, of Wilson, to succeed him. Prof. Francisco Ferrer,, the Spanish educator and convicted revolutionist,1 was executed Wednesday at the fortress of Montjuich. There is fear of an at tempt to assassinate King Alfonso. V Threats against the life of Governor Willson as a result of his firm stand against Kentucky night riders has re sulted in extra precautions being taken to protect the head of the State gov ernment. Communication has been restored be tween Florida and the keys. Hundreds of railroad, constructionists thought to be dead in the storm, escaped to high grounds. The property loss at Key West is over $2,000,000. Repotts of the Panama Canal Com mission state that excavation of the canal is exactly half finished. Condi tions are improving. The death rate is normal, The second half is proceeding faster, supplies, machinery, etc., being on hand. The Southern roads included in the Seaboard merger are; The Atlanta & Birmingham Air Line, operating 257 miles; the Florida West Shore operating 70 miles; the Plant City Arcadia & Gulf, operating 19 miles; the Catawba Valley, operating 22 miles, and the Tallahassee & Southeastern, operating 39 miles. This increases the mileage of the Sea board system by about 400 miles and makes the total mileage exceed 3,000. Commander Peary's statement as to the North Pole controversy has been made public. Ho rests his case almost entirely on Eskimo testimony: He claims the Eskimos who, Cook alleges, . accompanied him to the pole, deny this and practically all, of Cook's other state ments. Dr. Cook denies Peary's ex pose through Cook's Eskimos. He says: "The Eskimos were instructed to keep still. Therefore they have not told the truth to Peary.
