STATESVILLE, N.C } at Things that Don’t Go t» Please it.’ Charlotte News, What is the matter with the Statesville Landmark? It seems to be dissatisfied with the Democracy both in the state and nation. It gives them bothakiek in a recent issue. It is continually growling and showing its teeth and snapping at things that don’t go to please it, Here is the way it growls at the State Democracy: “It seems to be pretty well under- stood that Judge Clark was promised tthe Democratie nomination for Chief Justice by the machine for his val- lant efforts taseeure the impeach. ment of Judges Furches and Doug- las. An attempt is now being made to carry out the contract sandal! other candidates are choked off. Whether or not this effort will meet with success we will know abour a year hence.’’ : It is a bad sign when a man who claims to be a party man begins to try todestroy the confidence of the peoplein his party organization. Whocompose this so-called machine? And who believes that any machine promised Judge Clark any nomina- tion because he favored impeach- ment? Such imputation does ao injustice to Judge Clark and to the Democratic party, and is without foundation in fact. If the Landmark Das a better man than Judge Clark for Chief Justice let it trot bim out, and the people will settle the matter. Itithas not it ought for its own sake to stop befouling its own nest —the Democratic party—and the good name of Judge Clark. Again the Landmark shows its teeth in the following: “Mr. Cleveland says he is going to support the Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey, because he (Cleveland) is a Democrat and has always supported that party. This calls for more tal«, as the people are under the impression that G@rever deserted the Demosracy in 1896 and 1$60—Danville Bee. Possible the ex-President didn’t have the oppor- tunity to vote for a Democrat in ‘96 and 1900 ”’ Ob, yes he did. and so did the edi- torofthe Landmark. Both had an opportunity to vote fora Democrat of Democrats, 3 man whose democ- racy was endorsed by 6,000.000 of his fellow countrymen, a man almost unanimously nominated for the of- fice of president by his party on two different occasions. The Landmark seems sour and dyspeptic. .It shows its ill temper. Why should it pour out its wrath on the Democratic party? Does it wisb to see the success or defeat of that party in future campaigns? -_ Ite Demecracy Is Thin. Wiikesboro Chronicle. The Landmark has discovered that somebody has read it out of the Democratic party and itdon’t care. When Linney headed for the radical camp he said the Landmark and Topic bad read him out of the party; aod so said Butler and his crowd.

Referr- ing tothe Booker Washington din- ner incident the Governor said: “It may not be inappropriate to express to you the hope, that recent events occurring in the nation may not unduly excite you, and you will still remember your best friends are’ those who live in your State. What you wish, what you need, more than recognition by the Presi- dent or other people in authority, iis the establishment among yourselves of a society founded upon eulture, in- teltigence, virtue, and no wise de- pendant upor those cof a different race, The law which separates you from the white people in the State, socia!- ly, always has beenand always will be maintained, and it need not con- cern you cor me whether that law is violated elsewhere; it will never bs violated in the Sonth. Its violation would be to your de- struction as well as tothe injury of the whites. No thoughtful conser vative, upright Southerner, has for your race ought but the kindest feelings and we are all willing and anxious to see you grow into the highest citizenship of which you are capable, and willing to give our en- ergies and best thought to aid you in the great work necessary to make you what you are capable of, and to assist you in that elevation of char- acter ard of virtue which tends to the strengthening of the State. But to do this itis absolutely necessary that each race shouid remain distinct and have a society of its own. Inside of your own race you car gtow as large and broad and high as God permits with the aid, the sym- pathy and the encouragement of your white neighbors, If you can equal the white race in achievements, 1n scholarship, in lit- erature, in art, in industry and com- merce you will find no generous minded white men who will stand in your way, but all of them in the South will insist that you shail ac omplish this high end without so cial intermingling and this is wel} for your; itis well for us; it is gnec- essary for the peace of our section; itis essential to the education of your children that there should be nO misunderstanding upon this point. Iam sure you Qagree with me in what I have s2id,andin a spirit of one who is governor of the whole people without regard to race, I bid you God speed in the great work of upbuilding of our State and of tmulti- plying our industries, commerce and education. I find no little encouragement in the friendly co-operation of men and women of your race in the task which we have undertaken today; thst of educating all children, and I pray youin this great work we shallnot beretarded by misunder- standing. October State Crep steport. Raleigh Post, rst. The October cropreport for North Carolina was issued from the sgrt- cultural department last night. A general estimate of the cotton crop this year indicates thatthe yield in this State will be about 351,572 bal es, against a yield of 513,051 bales last year. In speaking of the general condi- tion of the crop Commissioner Pat terson said last night that the crop was evidently not up to the average of the Cape Fear neck ofthe State including Bladen, Columbus, Cum- berland and others, and the best conditions were in a line rather northeast and southwest from Ra!- eigh. including the vast whole north Carolina cotton belt. Phis condi- tion is verified by both the State and United States reports. The report shows the cotton crop poorest in Bladen where it is report- ed as only 37 per cent of an average. And the best report is from Carbar- rus where the report is 98 per cent. In Robeson, one of the very best cotton counties usually, the yield is estimated at 61 per cent The general crop report for the entire State makes the following sbewing for al! crops: Condition of cotton compared with last year, government report, 70: concition of cotron compared with an average. yovernment report. 63; answer, 64; yield of tobacco compar ed with an average. yovernmen: re port; 72; answer, 70; quality of to bacco, answer, 77: condition of corn, government report, 69; answer, 69; eondition-of peanuts, snuswer, 84; condition of sweet potatoes, govern ment report, 84; answer, 84. As an indication of the probable correctness of this report itis well that issued by the United States Agricultural Department for rhe same period, the correspondents who furnished the reports being en- tirely different, but the averages being rcmarkabie similar. For instance, the United States government report gives the aver- age of the cotton crop at 63, against 64by the State; vield of tobacco, 72. against 70 by the State; condition of corn, 60, against 69 by the State, and the condition of sweet potatoes S4, against 84 by the State. ees Judge Walter H.

There are different kinds of toiies, but the tonic most needed in this country, where catarrh is so prevalent, is @ tonic that operates on the mucons mem- branes. Peruna is a tonic to the mucous mem- branes of the whole body. It gives tone to the capillary cirenlation which con- stitutes these delicate membranes. Percns is a specific in its operation upon the mucous membrane. It is a tonic that strikes at the root of all ca- tarrha! sfections. It gives tone to the minute blood vessels and the terminal nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exist long where Peruna is used intelligently. Perunz secks ont catarrh in all the hid- den paris of the body. Pauli Landrum writing from Atlanta, Ga., SBYS: “In January iast I began the use of your Peruna and Manalin for what was termed orgenic heart troubie. At that time I could- scarcely walk to my place of business without stopping to rest and on arrival felt completely exhausted. Had severe pains in my heart and general dizziness. After using the first bottle of Peruna I began to improve and today I feel that I ams sound man and I work fourteen hours a day without any bad feeling.”—Paul Landrum. — A. M. ¥xerd, an employee of the C. B. &Q. R. R., West Burlington, Ia., writes: “T had catarrh of the stomach and small intestines for a number of years. I went to a number of doctors and got no relief. Finally one of my doctors sent me to Chicago and I met the same fate. They said they eould do nothing for me, that I had cancer of the stomach and there wasno cure. Ialmost thought the same, for my breath was something awfnl. I could hardly stand it, it was so offensive. I could not eat anything without great misery, and I gradually grew worse. : “Finally I got one of your books, an concluded I wculd try Peruna, andthank God, I found a relief and 2 cure for that dreadful disease. I took five bottles of Peruna and two of Manalin, and I now feel like a new man. There is nothing beiter than Peruna, and I keep a botile in my house all the time.”—A. M. Ikerd. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory resuits from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

Wadesporo Messenger--Intelligencer. The assistant Republican papers ard the corporation organs are try ing to make it appear that the plain. common people of North Carolina are opposed to Judge Walter Clark for Chief Justice, but that what they are pleased to term the Demo cratic machine is preparing to farce his nomination in defiance of them A bige r political lie than this was never i..d “© insinuated. The truth of the uu... is that Judge Clark is preemineutiy the candidate of the common people, for they rec ovnize in him not@nly asincere, but extraordinarily able, champion of the rights, and they will see to it that heis not only vnominated but triumphaxtly elected as well. > Close Voting in Maryland. Baltimore Dispatch, 8th. The supervisors of election at the various Gounties of the State com raenced today at noon the official canvass of the vote cast last -Tues- day, and until it is firished no posi- tive figures can be given as to the complexion of the next Legislature It is probable that the count outside of the city will be completed by to morrow, although ata late hour to night no official reports had been made. It will require twoaaod per- haps three days to coniplere the count in Baltimore city, but enough subject t©]ig known to make it certain, in the absence of the unexpected changes in the unofficial count, that the Dem ocrats will control both branches of one and probably two additional Deieyvates from Baltimore, two from Er WET, Vico Pr-sidem? | Ceci! county, and possibly ove from Caroline, -vhich have heretofore been counted in the Republican col uma. This will giye the Democrats 50 votes in the House, and at least 70 in the Senate, or amajority of 11 Ob j 2¥o2ie ballot. ‘To+returns thus far received show severai unusually closa contests. Lo Caroline, Stevens, Republican, has but one majority over Jerrmon, Democrat. in Carroll, where an evenly divided delegation was cho sen, 22 is the higbest majority for the Republicass. in Cectl the ovals geces-'ui Republican wirs py the rorrow margin of 14 votes, whtle fo Kent the success: i mocratic can Gidate has ou' 5 xs ojority, tae sue ce -s uw Republican out 12, and the two defeated caudida es are tied Ib Somerset the successful Demo erat has but 22 majority. In S:. diary’s 20 votes give the Democrais their lowest Delegate. In Taioox county the only Republican bus a majority of 33, and none of the Dem- ocrats chosen in Baltimore city has to exceed 100 votes to spare. It will thus be seen that the official count may make some radical chaayes in the make up of the lower House, but itis not probable they wiilmaterially affect tbe results Both sides are likely to suffer equally by 1b. ; or will also require the official vote to decide the fate of the State ticket. and the present indications are that neither of the successful candidates will have a najority of over 1.000, the indications pointing to the election of Herio, Democrat, for Comptroller, and Parran, Repub- lican, for clerk of the Court of Ap peals.

In the meantime Governor Aycock will fight it with all the power of the State and every patri- otic citizen will hold up his hands. te Recently President Roosevelt. at the instauce of Senator McLaurin, appointed a ‘“‘commercial’’ named Koester collector of Internal revenue for the district of South Carolina. Last week Collector Koester ap pointed as bis first deputy, with jur isdiction over the entire eastern part of the State, the notorious negro, G, W. Murray, a coal-black ex Con- gressman and the most offensive ne gro inthe entire State. When Mc Laurin was securing his ‘mess of pottage”’ in the way of Federal o/- fices for his sell-out of the Demoera- cy of his State, it was heralded far and wide that only white men would be given cffice in that State, but the very first appointment made by the “commercial”’ collector of internal revenue isa notorious negro to an important position—a position in which the negro deputy will come into close contact with white peo- pie. The moral of.all this to South- ern white men is: Stick to the Democratic party and have nothing to do with *‘commercials”’ and other ; Written tin if was best that tit ‘should come and valk with Jiiss Pear hover the waiter.

The coseclusioa is thus irrisisti ble that the Argentine treaty is as good as dead, there being no indu euce likely to be exerted ia its faver half as powerful as the National As sociation of Wool Growers, who prudently dread the insertion of thi thin edgeof abolition of the wooi duties. Butif this treaty must be given up, it is difficult to see how any of the others can be saved. Th imperfect foresight of the father finds ccustantly recurriag evidence in the growing mpossibility of get ting anv form of commercial treaty ratified by the Senate. In-the case ot the vroup of treaties new pead ing, the failure of one is almost in evitably conditioned on the failure of another. That is to say, the op ponents of the Argentine treaty may find it necessary to secure the sup- port of the opponents of the French treaty by combining for the defeat of beth, and neither may be quite insersible to the claims of the Cali fornia Senators who oppose the con- eesstons madein the West Indian treaties in the matter of citrus fruits.

The Democratic party in North Carolina bas never found it diftieult victory over then, It has no fear} of men who fight under the black flag of Republicanism, or of men who openly join hands with them! whether they call themselves “Lib- | erals,’’ ‘‘Populists”’ or ‘Commercial Democrats ”’ three ciasses proclaim themselves “straight Democrats”’ on the stump cr in the press, while secretly ccon- triving with the enemy to compass the defeat of the Democratic party that they are dangerous or effective in their opposition to the parry. There have always been men in the Democratic party in the South who have not been in entire sympathy with it on the tariff, finance or some other question, but they have been loyal in submitting their individual Opinien to “the arbitrament of the national ~convention,’’ and have therefore been reyarded as true Democrats entitled to every canfi- dence of the party. There were those who in 1892 or in 1896 whodid not vote the national Democratic ticket, but who now returned in good faith of the Democratic party, who worked earnestly to redeem the State in 1898 or 1900. They are en titled to every confidence of the par- ty. There is no man in North Caro- lina, no matter what his past politi- loyal to the party today who is not welecmed by all true Democrats. Thereisasmall class of former Democrats in North Carolina, led by 2 handful of former political manip ulators who, having forfeited the confidence of Democrats, have been earnestly at work for months to pave the way for going into the Re publican party as soon as they could carry enough men with them to make the jump “‘respectable.”’ The day after the constitutional amend ment was adopted this class of po litical tricksters, prating of liberty, began systematically an attempt to organize an element in the Demo- cratic party that bad been dissaris fied with some plankin the Demo erati¢c platforms intoa bard of as sistant Repuolicans. Their pra gramme was to create a strong sentiment in favor ofeverything for which McKirley stood and for which Roosevelt stands, and .to oppose every measure which is Democraric. Chis element controlled three morn- ing dailies—the Asheville Gazette. the dirty sheet that soid its editorial columos as it would sell shiovtes; the Char. *:e Ovuserver, the owner of which holg- $2,600 job under YUcKinley; an@iue siorning Post, owned and controlled by a Southeru Railway politics] boss who distri outes Federal patronage, Al! these three papers, eachin its own way. have been Working like mivers ana -appers to destroy faith in the Dem ocratie party. The Gazette came xut in the open, after leading all it could deceive by pretending to be Democratic, and has endorsed every thing the Republicans have done from giying one thousand ne ,roes »Gices in North Caroliznato Roose velt’s practice of social equality in ‘he White House. The Cherlotte Ooserver (its chief owner and boss vets $3 600 a vear from the nationa! administration for doing nothing) has sought to vet the manufacturers and prosperous Dusiness men to be- lieve that the Democratic pariy would destroy their Dusiness, and stariiny out as a traducer of the uational Democracy and it has come to be a traducer also of the State Democracy. The Morning Post. a slow coachon a railroad side track, bas sought to convince ali corpora tion men that the State and nation at Democratic party was in the hands of a set of dishonest agitators and anarchists. All three conspired togetber to damn the Legislature ia the eyes of ali tax payers by misrep resentations of the character of tax laws p-ssed by the Leyisizture. The day after the constitutional amexvdinent was ratified these tkree papers, cided by Blauche, Tray aud Sweetheart, set upa mighty barking upon the arrival of what they called a new day ia North Carolina. They} not only expressed rejoicing that the time had come when a mia might vote as he pleased. but ther j this element of Reprbircans, mas querading as Democrats. hus day after day, herea little and there z little sought to build up a large class af voters who would be ready wher they gave the word to go over Open ly into the Repubilean party. These agitators. who were preaching Re publicanism, had no idea of going lntu tne Repubhean party usless they could carry with them enough former Demoerats to make the Re- publican party stand a good charec> of securing vietory. All their efforts nave been directed toward getting : large crowd of voters reconciled to oe known as Republicans, aud they toped to carry the Srate for McKin- tey in November, 1900.

He Thinks That State is Not the Real Party in laterest, and That it Al- lows Use of Its Name to Give Court Jurisdiction. Raleigh Post, 15th. There has been much discussion and much speculation as tothe real status and the ultimate outcome of the suit recently brought by the State of South Dakora against the State of North Carolina to enforce the payment of certain bonds issued ny this State in aid of the Western North Carolina Railroad, and which the State, 1879, rop~diated. Senator Simmons was asked yes terday for his views with reference to this suit. He said he had not had time to makea thorough investiga tion of the matter, but that it seem ed to him that tne proceeding was an unusualone, aad was evidently 4n attempt cn the part of the hold- ers of these bonds to evade the pro- visions ef the Constitution with refaronce to suits by individuals again-t2 Stete The bill in the South Diikota su t, he said, seems to have been frauied after the billia the case of +ixsouri vs. I[lhnois, decid- ed by the Supreme Court of the United Siaces in January of tae pres ent year. That case, however, is uot an authority in this case, ex cept in so fav as it affirms the juris diction of the Supreme Court oyer controversies between two States. Cre Dakota case is more like the case of New Hampshire vs. Louisi ina, reported inthe 108U. S. R= gorts. In the latter case, the Cgurt iooked behind the bill or complaint und, finding tkat. the complainioy State was nut the real party inin terest, but was prosecuting the ac tion in the interest of certain of its citizens who were creditors of the state of Loeuisiana—dismissed the oili for want of jurisdiction. F In the case Dbruvght by South Da kota agaiast this State, it is appar eotthat South Dakota is not the real party ie interest, and that it is simply allowing the use of its name vo give the Court jurisdiction. Itis trueg, the dil! filed denies this, but, ‘sinthe case of New Hampshire against Louisiana, the Court will ivok behind the bill aud enquire in co the truth of this matter as one es- #en‘ial to its Jurisdiction. He said it seemed to him that up onthe face of the ill two facts were diselosed, which show. or at least strongly tend. to show, that the pretence On the part of South Dakota of absolute ownership of these bonds is uctrue. In the first place, the bill aileges that these vonds were given to the State of South Dakota by one Shaffer, and that in bis donation he requests tho State to give to the University of South Dakota the benetit of what ever might be realized from the ponds by suitor compromise Waen south Dakota accepted this donation with this request. it accepted tbe bonds with the implied agreement to hold the recovery for the beneti: ofits University.- The University is, thereiore. the beneficialowaer of the bonds, aud the action is brougat oy the State to recover them for its venefit. Althouga the Uaiversity may be supported by the State, yet it is presumed it is a corporation; a distinct entry, with entity, with the riznt to sue and bold property in its own name, and, therefore, South Dakotacan pO more maintain this action as its agent or trustee than it could maintain a State as the ayzent or trusteeof a private indi vidual. ZItisclear, if this could be dose, thatthe provision of Coasti tution prohibiting a citizen from ulby a state could be easily evaded this constitutional immusity | made of no effort. In the second place, Mr. Simmons said, the relief asked in the South Dakota case shows that the object of suit is not sé mucad to recover the ten bonds alleged to have been giv eu to the State of South Dakota for the benefit ofits University as it is tu collect the bogds still beld by Shatfer, the-donee, for the com piaia- ing State is not content to have these ten bonds paid, or to have the one buadred shares of North Caro lina Railroad stock, mortgaged to pay them, condemued, bur it asks thar enouga of the State stock ic | and 2ny be impounded and soid to pay the outstanding bonds issued ia ;2ig o1 the Westerp North Carolina Railroad, ail, or practically ail, of whichit is said Shaffer now owzs Toe suit ssems to have been brouyh: ‘for Seaffer’s beneffc d through i: he seeks to get a decFee that wiil ci rect the paymect of ail the bonds be stili holds, as well as those he hes given to the Uuaiversity of South |Dakova.

Of course interest will center in the election of asuccessor to Senator J C.

They are as follows: Chiet Justice of the Supreme Court, to succeed Judge D. M. Furches, for a term of eight years Associate Justiceof the Supreme Court to succeed Judge Walter Clark, for a term of eight years. Associate Justice of the Supreme Courtto succeed Judge Chas. A.

Butthe duty of the ixtelligen patrons of the schools does not enc with the simple enroliment of th pupils. They should encourage th: teacher—teach the children to re- spect him and his authority. Let them understand that they are ex- pected to obey the rules he may ley down and that an appeal to them is, except in useless. Nothing hampers ateacker so muck and renders his work so vain as the interference of parents with the proper control of the sckool. Ther for years anc there is noneinow for any child’s no learning to read and write in thi- couaty except the wilful neglect o the parents to make their childrer go to school. The schools are oper.

N eC Dec 10. 1901 I witness: d the WeLaurin-Tilimar Jones episode in the Unired States Senate Monday. It was dramatic andro some extent sensational. It had heen published in the papers that Senator McLaurin. of South Carolina. would not be allowed :o participate in the Democratic Sena torial caucus and that the Demo- cratiz caucus would not provide committee assignments for him. Monday the South Carolina Senator arose to aquestion of personal priv- ilege. He quoted the newspapers and detailed alleged conversations he had had with Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the Demo- cratic caucus and also of the Demo cratic National committee He went into the history of of the re cent politics in his State and was very eulogistie of recent Republican administrations. He tried to justi fv his control of the Federal patron age in his State and claimed that he was a Democrat. He was severe io his attacks upon the present leaders and policies of the Democrats. sing ling out Senator Jones, of Arkansas, and his own colleayue, Senator Tillman, for his bitterest denuncia tion. McLaurin made quitea speech speaking with emotion and feeling When McLaurin concluded Sena- tor Jone arose and flatly contradict ed the South Carolina renegade’s statements offact. MeLaurio said he accepted the disclaimer of the Senator from Arkansas. ‘I am meking no disclaimer but I am econ tradicting you,’’ replied the Demy eratic National chairman. Senator Tillman then secured the floor and gave a history of receat events in Palmetto politics, going into details in regard to the resig nations of the two Senators last =ummer. Senator Tillman saidthat he was sorry that ‘ne Governor re fused to accept his and alcLaurin’s resigoatioas. as he (Tillman) was unxious for the people of his State ta decide between MecLrurin and bimself—that if McLaurin represen ted the will of the people of South © wolina be (Tillman) did net.

Then the richness of the blood—the albumen —leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's goods made. va l °F 3 Ge & oe AB V ST DE ae , Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble. tr Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root the new dis- Bs x covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder |. anc urinary troubles.

Judge allen, who left for his home vescerday afternoon, stayed at the Riegs House, where it was conve” ient to talk over political affairs, avd the general state of the Union. with Senator Simmons. Judge A! len said that there was still no prob ability that the central State con mittee would meet any time soon. perhaps not for several months, a> it was considered entirely too early to begin active campaign work The individual senatorial candidates could of course get in as many licks as they might wish, but for the present there would be no concerted action. Foragreat while the im pression has prevailed that the res ular Demoeratic organization wou!d help Mr. Craig,tacitly if not openly Judge Allen, whc 1s certainly in po sition te speak with authority, 1n- sists that this is not a fact. On being told that it was the under standing that he was a Craig man. Judge Alleo replied: ‘‘No, this is not so. All the candidates are good mean, andI would not like to be placed in the position of having te decide between them. Perhaps Mr Glenn is a little better known in the east than either Mr. Craig or Mr Overman, but it is by no means a foregone conclusion who will bav the support of that section. Therr is room for missionary work for ai! the canidates, and in my opinion, much depends upon the part the candidates take in the next election. aud on the impression they make or the people. Ido not for a momen’ believe that Senator Simmons wi!! express a preference in the contest. as he is on most friendly terms wit! all the candidates. ”’ Eee Oe The Old Time Christmas Atlanta Constitution, Tnechiidren of larger growth wh recalilibe Christmas times of thir years aga, lel us say, Observe wii! revret the growing disbelief in Sa; ta Claus.

In this day of billion-dollar trusts and big cannon crackers the small boy listens to the story of Santa Claus with a skeptical smile Even the 3 year-old does not seem to be im pressed.

As for the older boy, he disposes of the stocking outfitin a jiffy, aad strikes.a bee linefor the store tha’ sells crackers big enough to blow up acorner building.

Washington Dispatch 21. A determination on the part of the admivistration to absolutely ter- minate further discussion of the sampson Schley controversy took shape inthe pubiication today of -<ome remarkable correspondence that has passed between Secretary Reot and Lieutenant General Miles, relative to the latter’s interview, published in a Cincinnati paper, commenting upon the Schley case. When the interview appeared it at- ‘racted considerable attention offi- ‘ally, but after the lapse of two days without any size of official ac: ion, the impression became geueral hat the interyiew would beigonored. Therefore,the publication this after- noon of the full correspondence on his subject says created a Sensation in army and navy circles. Itis sel dom that so severe a reprimand is iiministered toan officer of biyzh eank in either service.
