EDITORIAL NOPES. |
State Senator A.J. Moye, of this
county, is reported among those who
are working against Pritchard and try"-
ing to deteat him for re-election to ihe
United States Senate. The News and
Observer refers to Mr. Moye as a true
silver man and the. noblest among th
Populists.
Congressman Harry Sktnner is work-
ing hard to carry out his part of the
contract under which the Republican
vote of this district was given him. Ta-
stead of being in Washington attending
to.his duties as Congressman te is in
Raleizn doing all in his power to secure
the return of Jeter Pritchard to the
Senate. Heis going to car.y the day
for, Pritchard, too.
The Charlotte Observer looks very
familiar since its disastrous fire of Sat-
urday night, the only perceptible dif-
terence being a little variation in the
reading matter type. Getting out a
paper atall immediately after. such a
disaster sk:uws wonderful pluck and en-
te prise, but ithas been noticeable all
alovg that the Obseryer had much of
these characieristies in its management,
May it continue to flourish and always
hold its well earned positiun as the best
paper in the State.
