ent is correct in saying that the
penitentiary is now self -sustain
ing and that it has a comfortable
surplus about $65,000. Recent
ly it offered to loan the State
Treasurer $5o,000 to meet ap
propriations, but the fund was
not needed, the financial affairs
of (the State being in such fine
condition. As to why omi peo
ple want to misrepresent these
things that is a very old in
quiry and it takes us back to the
time of Ananias why did he
od his wife want to misrepre
sent the facts afcout that little in
cident with which they were
connected? It's all very strange.
We confess that we don't under
stand the reason why!,
The end is at hand in the mat
ter of negotiation between Russia
and Japan, and all matters per
taining to peace have been de
clared off, and Japan has seized
two Russian vessels and war was
practically declared. The sym
pathies of this country, in fact
oi me oest civilizations of the
earth, go ont to Japai and we
want to see her come out victor
in the struggle with' Russia.
The AsheviUe Register prints
the Republican plan of organi
zation in every issue. This a
good idea. The Radicals have
w acojj iuu piaa standing m
order to let the public know
what it is otherwise it would be
impossible to find out. No one
would ver suspicion that the
Radicals had any plans for their
organization if they judged by
the way the thing is run m this
State.
Mr. Williams, nt Miao
?erson coutftn.0uQO atted the idea.tb issippi,
wuiuijists -vjusuwd me Ken
tucky juries were "corrupt and
rotten." In some respects, he
said, the speech of Mr. Crum
packer was a disgrace to Ameri
can civilization. It was ridicu.
lous to suppose that all purity
reigned in Indiana, and that just
across the river all was corruption.

This is a good appointment. It
goes without saying that there is
no danger of an editor abscond

customed to having it there's no
temptation in it!
The Republican State Conven
tion will be held in Greensboro
oi May 18th. The Republican
committee met last week and en
dorsed Roosevelt for re nomina
tion. The bosses always do
everything in advance of the
convention anyway. The rank
and file have no chance with the
Radicals.

Congressman Webb and the Monument.
King's Ml. Herald.
The constituents of Hon. E.
Y. Webb will be pleased to know
that he is making a grand effort
to purchase some land and build
a suitable monument at Kings
Mountain battle ground. Mr.
Webb is hopeful of obtaining
$ino,000 for this purpose.
From press reports sent out
we see that he has the promise
of sereral of our most influen
tial members to aid him in his
undertaking. There is every
reason to believe that Mr. Webb
will get the matter in proper
shape at this session and at the
slaort session next winter he will
push his bill through.
A hundred thousand dollars
spent at this battle ground would
mean something not only for this
section, but for our young con
gressman as well. The public
will keep an anxious watch on
this monumeital matter and will
rejoice at its realization.
