Since that convention his ability to man- age business especially finance has become still more manifest to people, and at the coming there ought not to be any difference between democrats as to the nominee for treasurer. Lei us nominate Sam White by . Mr. J. B. Cherry has de- c-fined to and it seems to me that the man who was close a to the man who has been treasurer of Pitt county so long, should now receive the unanimous vote of the democratic convention.

Without any purpose whatever to reflect upon the present board of aldermen or any previous board we propose to give some reasons why the tax payers of Greenville should exercise more care in the selection of a board than they have ever done before. Heretofore the taxes have been light and the duties of the board simple and few. Now we are enter- upon a system of improvements which require the closest and best management. It is true these improvements are under the immediate control of the board of improvements but it is also true that the work can be greatly hindered or helped by the board of aldermen. The board of internal must rely in many for help the board of -aldermen as the work progresses. The police power and protection must be furnished by the board of aldermen. Then too it is folly for the board of Aldermen to engage in street independent of the WILLING American Officer For Chines Army. As has already been published in dispatches, there is on foot a plan to secure American officers to serve in the Chinese army. The following on the subject is from The New Orleans hundred American soldiers will be transported to China to the Chinese army as one of the results of Prince Pu visit to his country, according to W. T. Hally, traveling passenger agent of the Pacific, whose company is seeking the contracts to carry the men to San Francisco from different points in the United States. Ac- cording to the same authority, the movement of soldiers will be com within two weeks. The principal recruiting station is at S. D., and is in charge of Brigadier General Edmund P. Eng- of New York. The cream of the veterans, he claims, has been selected for the army of the Chinese Commissioned and non-commission- ed men have been offered in the Chinese army, with the salaries paid by the United States government. General William E. English, of Indianapolis, says a special to The Globe-Democrat, has Hickory Pitt Co., May 1904. Editor The political ball seems to be roll and from the signs there may be some right good sport before the hot days of summer have passed.

This information will doubtless cause more or less apprehension among those people who continually have visions of the but it is to be doubted whether there is ground fir any such feeling. The Chinese army could doubtless be a very willing disposition upon the part of some folk in town and in the country too. who are willing; if not very willing, to spend a short in Raleigh next winter under the dome of the Capital.

II live on six hundred dollars can be saved in the of the town treasurer there is no reason that it should not be done- If money can be saved at other points we need a board that will do it. The way to get such a board is for the tax payers to look after the selection. We will have more to say about the matter A tire broke out in New York city on last Friday and a stable full of line horses was one of the build- partly damaged Before the horses were all removed a wall fell in and blocked the runway leading into the stable. Two good horses were in the basement, Nellie, a fleet roadster, and Molly, a big truck horse. At five o'clock on Monday morning a patrolman de gingerly into the basement to see how the water which had been feet deep was receding when he heard the whinnying of horse, and going on down through eighteen inches of water was ed lo find Nellie alive and frisky. He procured fresh water and oats, and arrangements were set on foot to release her In the afternoon an- other patrolman explored and found Molly alive, and she was carefully chopped out, and a special runway leading through a big win- was built to get them out. They had been in their prison hours and had apparently not except from hunger and thirst. the latter would in all probability inculcate in the troops ideas of dis- which would make any of the results feared from the arousing of the yellow men to a knowledge of their strength. The significance of the alleged plan to officer the Chinese army with Amer- is indeed far-reaching, as show- tint China is to awaken to her opportunities of becoming a power in the far East, as did Japan. The yellow and brown men are inferior in practically every way to the and will so remain, therefore as long the latter do right they have nothing to fear from the It was intended that the white man should lead, and it is weakness for him to concern himself about the domination of an inferior race so long as he does his duty. If this movement on the part of China is in good faith, it doubtless means that the powers of the world are to be relieved of much occasioned by the helplessness of the teeming millions.

We have thought all along that Russia would finally overcome the Japanese; that she would conquer through the same means the United States won final victory over the a wearing out of the resources of the weaker nation, But it begins to appear doubtful as to which is the weaker nation, into consideration the seat of war and the facilities each has for concentrating it forces. Russia can assemble many thousand more soldiers than can Japan, but she does not seem to be able to trans- port them t the scene of or to properly equip for an extensive campaign those she has on. the ground. These conditions rob her a great deal of physical superiority over Japan and put the two on an equality. In one thing the Japanese have shown themselves greatly superior to the Russians, and that is in strategy They have completely the Russian in Korea and. Manchuria. Also, the Japanese soldier has shown himself to be fully as good a as the Russian, and; with more dash and daring in his lighting. As to sea fighting it been fully demon- frown the beginning that the Japanese are superior to the the whole line the Japanese- have held their own It now begins to look as i f they would, drive the Russian out Manchuria.
