FRIDAY. JUNE 25, 1897.
- TBI LESSON OV XXFJCBOUfCSS IO
KOKBD. r The political movements so far made
' this year Indicate quite clearly the de
: termination of the Democrats to fuse
with the Populists in" all oases where
. such fusion can be effected.. The Iowa
Democrs put up a State ticket with
"-"Both "Republicans and Populists on it.
In Virginia the Democrat are openly
courting; the Populist. The Charlotte
county Democrats adopted" a resolution
as follows:
We think the Democratic convention
' should nominate for the position of
Lieutenant Governor a member of what
is known si the 'People's party,' who
supported Bryan and the Chicago plat
form In 1896, and for this position we
recommend and endorse our felloW-clt-'
izen. Major Richard V. Gaines.
The Richmond Times observes:
The Democrats should have learned a
lesson from the late national election.
They made a dicker with the Populists
in that campaign, but the results show
that they lost very much more than
they gained. It would seem, therefore,
the part of wisdom that the party in
this State should cut loose from its
Populistic principles and Populistic al
liances, and adopt a platform which
would re-unite the party in this State.
Hut the indications now are that the
same old fight of 189 is to be renew
ed in 1897, and that a platform Is to be
adopted which will exclude the gold
Democrats and capture the vote of the
PopuUsts.
The truth of this will come home with
considerable force to the Democrats of
North Carolina who have been neatly
turned out of house and home by fu
sionism. They carried the State for Bry
an, but at what a sacrifice! They were
not even allowed the credit for vthis
victory. The PopuUsts said they had
carried the State; then they joined in
-with the Republicans and took, charge
i of it, bag and baggage. It was a dls
t astrou fusion for the Democrats, and
in view of the treatment they have re
; celved It is strange that any are to be
found now who are wining to again
strike hands with this crowd. And yet
there is every reason to believe that in
this State there Is a soft snap ahead
? for our noble Senator Butler.
We believe we will not controvert
further with our accomplished friend
of the Wilmington Messenger about
the recent Greensboro- speech of Mr.
Walter H. Page. Neither of us is like
ly to convince the other and the con
troversy would perh&pe be productive
of no good. Whether or not the lack of
educational facilities has been the
cause of so many of our people leaving
the State is hardly worth while debet
ing. That was but one point in this
very remarkable speech. The fact
stands out. it cannot be concealed, it
i yriU not down the fact that there has
always oeen and is something radically
wrong with our system of popular edu
cation, otherwise why our record in the
matter of illiteracy? Mr. Jage didn't
come down here, a thousand miles, to
L--' otter pleasant platitudes to us. He
1 came to tell us some truths that we
J needed to be reminded of, and while the
..medicine he gave us has doubled us all
i np it will ultimately do us all good.
c None goes before the editor of the Mes-
- senger in loyalty to North Carolina,
f : - but he should not allow even his devo-
.? tlon to the State, to dull his ears to
i - patent though unagreeable truths'.
The Raleigh News and Observer
makes the point that the public print

.:" Mr. Debs, the head of the new so
cialistic movement, take quite a rank
hold for a beginner. Referring- to the
attitude of the government toward hi
scheme, he says: --. ct-. : t - .."i
"If they send the regular' army to
the State of Washington to suppress
oa, we will, give tbem plenty to think
about through the- country alone; the
way.- If they try to suppress us there
will be $00,009 patriots who will meet
them on that Jssue." -
Mr. Debs has not hesitated to declare
that his proposal is revolutionary that
he' has for Ms object a . change' for the
American, system of government. 5 Ht
proposes a colony in which everything
shan be held in eommoa; B will be a
trust, he says, 'but evetyhody . win be
in the trust rs there wUl be no money,
but a system of eo-perativi credit."
Unless a lot of other people ere wrong
Debs la not so much out of, the way.
He led a movement some three year
ago, in niinols. for the destrmcUoa of
property and to prevent men : from
working when they wanted to work.
A President of the United States inter
fered against him for the protection of
life and property because the Governor
of the State would not, and the. Presi
dent was afterwards denounced by the
national convention of his own party
for his conduct in the matter. Mr.
Debs was revolutionary then and he Is
revolutionary ; now only less so. be.
cause be says that he hopes and believes
that his present undertaking can be
carried through peaceably, whereas
there was no pretence of peace in the
former case. And mo it does not lie in
the months of the Alt geld sympathizers
to denounce him for the little scheme
he has on foot now.
In conversation last night with a dis
tinguished lawyer, he suggested to the
writer the strong probability that the
shocking tragedy at Lexington Wednes
day morning was the work of a tramp
and referred to the great number of
tramps who are infesting the State. He
cited the statute which gives mayors
and magistrates authority to have va
grants arrested and punished and urged
that this Is an excellent time for officers
of the law to move In the matter. The
Observer gives publicity and its most
cordial endorsement to the suggestion.
Our towns and cities should be cleared
of these pests. Considering their num
ber and the desperate character of
many of them, it is really quite remark.
able that no more crime is traced to
this class than is.
It Is. agreeable to read in our Con
cord special this morning, after the
foregoing was written, that Mayor
Crowell, of that town, has given orders
for the strict enforcement of the va
grant law in Concord.
Senators Butler and Pritchard, each
denies, through the Washington corres
pondent of the Observer, the recent
statements that there has been a com
plete reconciliation between them. It
appears that they are on speaking
terms and that they confer about mat
ters of legislation affecting North Car
olina, but that the reconciliation goes
no further. How Butler could have
the face to make an overture of peace
when his object would be so perfectly
apparent, or that Pritchard should ac
cept it In the face of Butler's unstinted
denunciation of him, were both almost
incredible, bnt politicians are an in
comprehensible lot and this story was
so often repeated that we at length ac
cepted it. There appears to be nothing
in it.
Cfaas. A. Dana, the venerable editor
of the New Tork Sun. truthfully called
"the Nestor and the Jester of American
journalism," in an address at Union
College. once preached a ser
mon from the following Horace
Greeley text: "The real Journalist is the
one who has slept on newspapers and
eaten ink." It is a truth. No man can be a
master of Journalism who does not sit
up late with the profession many nlghtB.
Old Uncle Horace spoke another para
ble when he said: "Of all horned cat

heavy initiation and much goat-riding
to make a collegian feel at home over
the Imposing stones.

London, June 24. The Princess of
Wales' Jubilee dinners to the poor to-day
were very successful. About J. 000 den
izens of the slums were sumptuously
entertained at the various centres. The
Princess, accompanied by the Prince of
Wales, Princess Victoria of Wales, and
Prince and Princess Charles, of Den
mark, visited the prifietpal halls where
the feasts were given. The places vis
ited by the royal party were the Peo
ple's Palace, in the east end of London;
the Central Hall. Hoi born and the West
school house, at . Clerkenwell. At the
People's Palace the royal visitors were
received by the lord mayor, Sir George
Faudel-Phllups, and the lady mayoress.
The guests there consisted of a thou
sand ragged children. After the nation
al anthem had been sung, the children
were served with a good feast of roast
beef, potatoes, pies, tarts, blanch
mange, apples, oranges and ice cream.
The fare at the other places was the
same.
The children at the People's Palace
were ail cripples. They were wheeled
in in bath chairs, limped on crutches in
to the banquet hall, or were carried In,
As soon as the royal party reached the
platform, two little cripples presented
bouquets of flowers to the Princess of
Wales and to the lady mayoress. The
scene was an affecting one. aad nearly
all eyes became moist at the sight of
so many little sunerers. The Prince of
Walea. in behalf of the Princess, ex
pressed the pleasure which it afforded
them to bring some degree of happiness
to the children. He called for cheers
for the Queen, which were heartily giv
en The members of the royal party
made a tour of the hall, and before
leaving the Princess of Wales took up
a glass or ginger ale, which had been
served to the little ones, and emptied
It to the health of the children. At the
Central Hall, Hoi bom. 1.700 people,
young and old, partook of the banquet.
As soon as the royal party entered the
hall the food was apparently forgotten.
All present stood up, and cheer after
cneer shook the building.
On making a tour of the room, - the
Princess of Wales turned on an old
Irish woman and expressed .the hope
that she had partaken of a good din

' Washington;' 'lone - 14. A. stubborn
contest over the duties on manufac
tured wool, occupied the attention) of
the Senate to-day. It was a day of
constant roS-calis and of cross fire de
bate on the effort of duties in advanc
bate on the effect 01 duties la advanc-1
fered to rates, bnt these were rejected
by decisive majorities. Leas than five
pages were disposed of during the day,
carrying the Senate through paragraph
S7, to the first of the paragraphs relat
ing to carpeta During the day Mr.!
Cattery, of Louisiana. -spoke at length
against the protective system, and ee-j
verety arraigned those Democratic Sen
ators who had voted for duties oa wool
and other raw materials. - Resolutions
at deeo nmt ven passed on the
death of ReprentativeCooke.of Illinois.
and a committee of fiv Benators were
named as a funeral escort, -.--..-.vi-',-.-;,".
On . the j opening; v of - the-v Sen-
ate. there was a mild passage
between Mr. Piatt, of New York,
and Mr. Alien, of Nebraska. ' The
former desired to place in the Rec
ord a petition from the manufactur
ers association of Brooklyn, for the
speedy passage of the tariff MIL- Mr.
Allen objected to having petitions go
into the Record unless from a State
Legislature or executive department.
Mr. Piatt thereupon accomplished his
purpose by reading the petition as a
part of his resolution.
Mr. Hale then came forward with a
surprise in the form of a proposed
amendment to the Senate rules, admit
ting to the privileges of the floor of the
Senate only such ex-Senators "who are
sot Interested In any claim or prosecu
tion of the same, or directly in any bill
pending before Congress."
Added to the text of the proposed
change is the following:
"The purpose of the proposed amend
ment is to prevent ex-Senators from
enjoying the privileges of the floor of
the Senate for the purpose of urging or
opposing claims or bills In which they
are employed as attorneys."
Mr. Hawley suggested that there
might be some objection to any point
ing oat of ex-Senators, and Mr. Allen
asked what bad taken place in recent
days to call attention to the subject.
Mr. Hate asked that be be not re
quested to particularise.
Mr. Allen declared that there had
been no more lobbying of late than
there had been for years. At one time
he had introduced a resolution to make
It a crime to come on the capitol
grounds with a view to lobbying on
pending measures. It was at a time
when the pooling bill and other meas
ures were bringing lobbyists from aH
parts of the country. "Why not make it
a crime. Covering all lobbyists?" he
asked.
Mr. Hale explained that he was not
seeking any such drastic measure. He
desired only to call the attention of the
Senate to the desirability of being re
lieved from lobbying on the floor. He
regarded the importunities of lobbyists
of little avail to the interests they rep
resented, and he regarded it as unfor
tunate that ex-Senators should be seen
on the floor carrying their papers re
lating to pending questions.
Mr. Allen again asserted that lobby
ists crowded the corridors and galleries
like crows in the trees.
The proposed amendment finally went
over, Mr. 'Hale stating that he would
ask to-morrow that the amendment be
referred to the committee on rules. The
consideration of the wool schedule of
the tariff bill was then resumed, and
Mr. Vest, of Missouri, asked Mr. Allison
to indicate what was to be the pro
gramme for the future handling of the
bill.
Mr. Allison replied that it was the
purpose to complete the wool schedule,
then the Bilk schedule, then the tobac
co. When that was done the bill would
have been gone over, with some ex
cepted paragraphs, such as lead, hides.
etc The purpose then was to begin
with the chemical schedule and consid
er such paragraphs as had been passed
over.
Mr. Caffery. of Louisiana, was then
recognised for a speech on the general
subject.
Referring to the general course of
several Democratic Senators, Mr. Caf
fery said: "Sir, we hear Senators on
this floor belonging to the Democratic
party stating four propositions: First,
that the doctrine of free raw material
is not Democratic: second, that if one
article is dutied. all ought to be; third,
that If protection is going the rounds.
Democrats might as well get the bene
fits of It by asking to be protected in
home Industries: fourth, that there is
no principle involved in a tariff bill, but
it is a mere question of schedules.
Mr. Caffery examined each of these
propositions,' pointing out what he re
garded as their fallacies and said: "Both
precedent and principle alike refute these
propositions. Veteran Democrats who
were born and will die with true Demo
cratic faith in their minds and hearts.
repudiate them. They look upon them
as an effort to crucify their creed. And
like the Christian who embraces the
image of his crucified Saviour as the
last hour of mortality approaches, so
will they embrace and cling to with a
love and faith of which no sophistry can
destroy, and no temptation betray, the
ancient doctrine of tariff for revenue
only, as the nearest approach to that
free trade hoped for by the Democratic
party. It is possible that we denounce
plunder, only to Join the plunderers.
The Senator declared that "tariff for
revenue only," Is a tenet of Democracy
as deeply grounded as the Decalogue.
Concerning sugar. Mr, Caffery said that
under the breakfast table cry raised by
the Republican party in 1890, sugar
though a favorable article for Demo
cratic revenue, was denied a tariff.
The Republicans now want a revenue
to "starve off silver and advance beets
and not to protect sugar in Louisiana.'
Mr. Caffery spoke for two hours, sum
ming up as roiows: "i believe in a
tarfff on luxuries. I believe In excise
taxes. I believe in an income tax. I
believe in a tariff on imports, placed so
as to put money in the coffers of the
government and not into the pockets of
Individuals. I do not believe In protec
tion, save for the purpose of protecting
each citizen in the enjoyment of legal
constitutional and natural rights.
The debate then proceeded on para
graph 364, relating to cloths, knit fab
rics, etc. Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, hav
ing offered an amendment limiting the
provisions to goods of "which wool is
the chief component material." The
amendment was rejected 23 to 42.
Mr. Jones renewed the motion in an
other form, the purpose being to restrict
the duties to goods made of actual wool
and not of inferior materials, cotton.
etc It led to an extended controversy
between Mr. AKfson and Mr. Jones as
to how the amount of wool and cotton
respectively, in a fabric, could be
certained. Finally the amendment was
rejected, 32 to 28. Paragraph 34 re
lating to wool cloth, was agreed to as
reported, omitting "skirted" in desig
nating unwashed wool. Upon para
graph 366, blankets and flannels, formal
changes, were made in connection with
the previous notice of Mr. Allison.
Mr. Petti grew, of South Dakota, gave
notice of an amendment placing , tax
of 10 per cent, on articles manufactured
by a trust. In paragraph 3CS, women's
and children's dress goods, cotton warps.
the rates were changed to tf cent per

Ceaaael for the Trat Held That the Coa-

ataersa Crlrhpo ;-;j5r.c-- V'itV
New fork, June S4- President Duke,
of the i American Tobacco .: : Company.
was the only, officer of the company
present in court to-day. Solomon Ros
enbaum, who, up to March last, was a
salesman fn the employ of the Ameri
can. Tnbaeoo Company, ; was the - first
witness called by the prosecatlora Ron.
enbaum. said that "In addition to his
work a salesman he reported to the
officer of the company an to the man
ner jn which the holders of -consign-meat
agreements conducted business.
It waa his duty to deliver goods to the
Jobbers, who purchased supplies under
the conaigmnetK agreement. - The wit-;
s reported Morris HJmch. of Brook-:
lyn, for seOlngr cigarettes manufactur
ed by the National Tobacco Company.
Hirsch, who had dealt with the Amer-
Icaa Tobacco Company told the wlt-
ss that a had become- aa agent of
the National Company, The witness said
he was present at a meeting' of about
10 members of the tobacco trade, held
in 1895. at which a vote was takes on
a proposition to continue -the consign
ment agreement. The witness was not
allowed to say whether : th result was
In favor of. or against the continuance
of the plan. The witness expressed the
opinion that there was not one job
ber or dealer in th district covered by
him who did not-haadle paper cigar-
eetea made by other : manufacturers
than the American Tobacco Company.
Edward B. Sperry. who was employ
ed as stenographer by Secretary Joslah
Brown, of the American Tobacco Com
pany, next took the stand. He said that
he had beea subpoenaed to produce the
minute books of the meeting of the
board of directors of th American To
bacco Company, during the years 1893
and 1893. He said he had not produced
the books because he had no control
over them. He did not remember wnat
directors were present at the meeting
when the' consignment was agreed
upon. He finally remembered that
Louis Ginter. a director, was present.
After a recess Mr. Bperry was al
lowed to take the stand to correct a
statement he had made during the
morning examination. "I did not mean
to say that I had seen the minute of
the meeting at which the consignment
was adopted. I should have said that
I saw the resolution in which the
agreement waa embodied."
Solomon Roeenbaum was recalled
and questioned by the prosecution. He
re-affirmed the statement made by him
that Jobbers who had been discriminat
ed against by the American Tobacco
Company could procure goods of that
company at inside prices, and that the
company's action in discriminating
against them was practically of no ef
fect.
This closed the testimony for the
prosecution, and Mr. Filler then began
the opening address for the defense.
Mr. Fuller's argument was based on
the statement solely that the consign
ment agreement was not a violation of
the law. He said that competent legal
talent had so decided It before it was
put In operation. He claimed that H
was the outcome of complaints from
the Jobbing trade, who wanted some
protection from ruinous competition.
After the rebate system had been tried
and found wanting, the consignment
agreement was put on the market. The
fact that Messrs. Hauptmann, Myer,
Dressier and Whalen, witnesses for the
defense, had protested, claiming that
they were debarred from It, Mr. Fuller
thought, was sufficient proof that it
was a good thing for the Jobber. He
dwelt with stress on the fact that the
National Cigarette and Tobacco Com
pany had guaranteed against loss to
Jobbers who had consented to break
tbe agreement and handle the Admiral
cigarettes.
Mr. Olcott objected to Mr. Fuller's
summing up In his opening address."
and the Judge sustained the objection.
Mr. Fuller read the consignment agree.
ment to the Jury and announced that
the case, as far as the defense was con
cerned. would stand or fall by It.
Mr. Fuller said that the introduction

GOLD IM DISPTJTKD TERRITORY.
A Dispute Comes Up That Will Lay Oat
the Three Hundred Islands Quarrel.
Duluth. Minn.. June 24. Gold has
been discovered on Oak Point Island.
In Rainy Lake, which will undoubtedly
lead to an international boundary dis
pute between Great Britain and the
United States. According to maps of
the geological survey, the island is in
Canadian territory, but according to
the wording of the treaty of Ghent, the
island is a part of the State of Minne
sota. Canada has issued patents to sev
eral valuable mining locations on the
island, and vigorous protests are being
sent to Washington by American pros
pectors. The miners throughout the
Rainy Lake district are considerably
wrought up over the matter, and there
Is probability of trouble unless some
thing is done. The way things now
stand, the United States loses entire
control, even of her waters, in Rainy
Lake. According to the geological sur
vey, the United States cannot get a
boat into Rainy Lake without first go
ing into Canadian waters. This is a di
rect violation of the treaty. The Three
Hundred Islands boundary dispute Is
of minor Importance compared to this.

It Is difficult to see how even so en
terprising a daily as the Charlotte Ob

than it has at the Raleigh end of one
of its star routes, and if it wished a bet

how it could get it. Recently a citizen
of Raleigh was asked the question.
"Where will I find Col. Older" "His
headquarters are at the Park Hotel."
was the obliging answer. "But I don't
want the headquarters," said the in

everywhere." The man who wants the

. Beats Oa,
Washington Post . ' ;
Twenty years ago or a little more
the.Choctaw Nation was inhabited by
as tough a lot of murderers and as
sassins as ever Infested any country,
said Mr. George iiye, of Arkansas,, at
Chamberlin'a. - - "
-"Lwaa then tying at Paris, Tex-, and
knew a good deal about the way mat
ters went over in th Indian country,
just across the Red river. Among the
customers of a big mercantile bouse
that I had soma connection - with in
Paris waa a Mrs.' Love.- a full-Wood
Choctaw -woman, the daughter' of a
celebrated chief of that tribe, Robert
Jones.' Mrs. Love bad married a JNw
Orleans man. but Sue got urea arwrr
awhile of seeing him wast her prop
erty and be was given to understand
that it would uo better for him to pull
up stakes and seek some ocner pare oi
the world. He made no fuss about
leaving, and the Widow Love, as she
u -tbx1. started in to manage' her
own plantation. It waa a magnificent
cotton farm of B.M acres, known aa
Shawneetown, that had oeen given ner
bv the old chief, and It made her one of
th richest women in the Southwest; -
: "One day-she came into me- store
where she ran a heavy account, and
calling too proprietor aside told him
that she would like to pay her MIL It
wasn't due for a long time, as settle
ments were only made once a year In
that country. He told her there was
no harry, but she : told him -that she
wanted to pay It very much.- and had
plenty of cotton to liquidate the debt.
" 'i have 00 bale of cotton at home."
said she,, "out there is a crowd of men
about my plantation that won't let me
move it. I have tried first one overseer
and then another, but whether they are
Intimidated by the gang or standing In
with them. I don't know. All I know is
that they won't let me take tbe cotton
off my place.' .
"The storekeeper swore a round oath
that Mrs. Love should move her cotton
whenever she wished, and he'd bet all
his goods- and chattels that he'd back
her up against all the blackmailing
thieves on both sides of Red river. He
called to one of his clerks, a slight-built
young chap named Payne Tom Payne
and related the matter to him, wind
ing up with the request that he go
home with their customer and help her
in doing as she wished with her bales
of cotton.
"This Payne dearly loved a scrap, aad
nothing pleased him better man to go.
He organized for a fight by loading up
a Winchester and two Colt's six-shooters,
and without asking a man to ac
company . him, set out for the Love
plantation. Within thirty minutes af
ter getting there he had an argument
with two Choc taws about the matter In
dispute, and wound It up by shooting
them dead on the spot. No further ob
jections were made to the moving of
Mrs. Love's property, and her store ac
count was soon settled.
"The conduct of the young clerk bo
won "the admiration of the Love woman
that she laid violent siege to Payne,
and as she wasn't at all bad looking,
and superlatively rich, he married her.
From that day until the day of his as
sassination Tom Payne was in trouble
with the toughs of the community. A
shooting affray was an every -day oc
currence, and many a bad man was
stretched to earth by a bullet from
Payne's rifle. He was In state of siege
all the time, and had a bodyguard of
men Just as nervy and desperate as
himself always about htm. In ait
fayne and his company killed at least
twenty of the enemy. He was never ar
rested, for there was no law in that
country in those times.
"His death was violent in the ex
treme. He allowed a Choctaw whom
he thought friendly to come near him
with an ax. The fellow was a brother
of one of Payne's victims, and he al
most cut the object of his vengeance in
twain with the sharp blade. Other In
dians came up with axes, and they lit
erally chopped the body into frag
ments." A PBOSPKKOCS RAILBOAD.
What the Lancaster A Chaster Harrow
Gauge Is Doing.
Columbia Register, Mtb.
Superintendent J. M. Moore, of the
Lancaster & Chester Railroad, was In
Columbia last night, and from him
some interesting facts were learned
concerning his road.
In these days when most of the big
roads are lamenting because they are
making no money, it was pleasant as
well as novel to hear from Capt. Moore
that the little narrow gauge road which
he manages, is prosperous and paying
its stockholders good dividends annu
ally.
The Lancaster & Chester narrow
gauge Is only about 25 miles In length,
running from Lancaster to Chester.
The road was sold a few years ago and
bought by the merchants of Lancaster.
It was then re-organlsed and Col. Leroy
Springs was made president, and under
his management of Its finances It has
proved a success and a good paying In
vestment.
The Lancaster merchants are the sole
owners of the property, and on this ac
count naturally all the merchandise of
the town, both coming in and going
out. Is hauled over this line.
Capt. Moore said that the road was
doing well and making money. A 4 per
cent, dividend had been paid last Jan
uary, and the funds were on. hand to
pay another 4 per cent, dividend on
Julv 1. A much larger dividend. Capt
Moore said, could have been declared
this year, .but much money was being
spent in Improving the road's physical
condition and buying new roiling stoea.
Fifteen thousand new ties were being
laid, and more were still being bought.
Durinar the rjast season the road has
been taxed, to the utmost in handling
the business, and to facilitate tne nana
ling of freight the coming winter a
new locomotive from the Baldwin
works at Philadelphia had been order
ed and would arrive soon.
Capt. Moore said the Lancaster &
Chester was not making any "poor
mouth," and had no reason to complain
of its present or prospective business.

A Denial That th Implement ef War Has
Keen Barie by i Bern -ati-miaed Rnia-
tima 8U11 Said to Kaiat for toe Present, .
Correspondence of theObserveiv --
Washington. 1 '' June v- 23. Senators
Pritchard and """Butler emphatically
deny tbe report that is floating around
in North Carolina to th effect thaf
they have buried tbe hatchet and are
now working together, in double har
ness, j Both Senators were considerably
agitated over the editorial in the Ob
server of the 32d, and they requested
your correspondent to say that no such
agreement or understanding has been
suggested. " - - - - "
. Senator Pritchard says: "The state
merits contained la the editorial ot the
.Charlotte Observer of the- 23d instant.
in regard to my relation to aenator
Butler are unfounded. Senator Butler
has made no overture to me sine my
rejection to the Senate, neither in
regard to the distribution of patronage
nor with respect to co-operation in the
future." - i' ' - -
Personally, the relations between the
two North Carolina Senators, appear
to be amicable and in all matter of
legislation of local interest to the State
they endeavor, to Work together. - la
view of all that has taken place be
tween them in th last campaign there
is no prospect of a political alliance
between them being formed. They are
aa wide apart now as they were when
Senator Butler was noma: every tmng
In his power to defeat Senator Pritch
ard. The latter has not forgotten the
nart his colleague played on tnat oc
casion and his mind must undergo a
very decided change before political co
operation between them in the future
can be possible.
When the report was nrst ctrcuiaceo.
Senator Pritchard did not consider it
worthy of denial, because his political
friends are aware of his position on tne
subject. When the Observer dignified
the report by editorial comment, sena
tor Pritchard concluded that a denial
from him was necessary.
Senator Butler Is equally frank in re
pudiating the statements alluded to.
He aavs his relations with Senator
Pritchard are friendly so far as they
relate to personal matters and matters
of general Interest to tne state, out
there has been no change In their at
titude since the last campaign when
he opposed Senator Pritchard s re
election to the Senate. When matters
of legislation Involving the Interests of
the people of North Carolina come up
for consideration in the Senate or be
fore any of the executive departments,
Senator Butler endeavors to co-operate
with his colleague as far as possible.
but beyond that their political relations
are unchanged.
They are seldom seen in consultation
on the floor of the Senate and since the
advent of the d re sent administration
thev have never been seen together at
anv of the executive departments. 11
there has been a political reconciliation
between them'it js not apparent at this
end of the line.

that I was unable to do even the
lightest work. This was my condition,
when I be gran to take S. S. S., and a

medicine, and one dozen bottles cured
me sound and well. My system was
