The committee has given its answer to the public and it clearly maintains the claim of North Carolina her soldiers were at at Gettysburg and and last at Appomattox.

It is surprising that the Southern people, are displaying so much apathy in regard to the coming election. To our mind it is the important one that has occurred i many years. The South will go solid for Parker, but this fact should not cause any man to loose interest. No Southern man can afford to miss the opportunity of casting a vote against Roosevelt, the and tried to force upon them. Olive Tribune. The Democratic ticket, as we have j heretofore shown, was nominated by the people in open daylight, in open convention, in an open court house, in the presence of the assembled There was no secrecy or mystery about it. The men chosen are well fitted and qualified for the positions for which they were They are worthy of the sup- port of every citizen who desires to secure and preserve the blessings of good government. From the very moment they were nominated there has been no doubt as to who were the Democratic candidates. were oar candidates then, they are; now, and will be on the day of j With us there has been no shifting of candidates, no nickering, no trading, no taking one down and putting another up, and indeed, j there can be none, for our candidates were put up by the people and no- bod j- can take them down or change them. They are now going from place to place in the open day and I in speech telling the what they stand for and what may be i x- j petted of I hem and the people hear j them gladly. That is one picture.

J Grimes, I Dr. J. E. Nobles and Mr. W, L. i Smith were retired. They retired themselves, lie it said to their credit they all published cards declining to permit their names to be used in any such connection and for any such purpose. It was manifest that undue liberty Lad been taken with their names and they were prompt to say so. But how about the other changes that are said to have been made. Who made them and by what authority What secret agree- and influences brought them about Who knows What other changes are to be made before the election and what influences are to bring them about Who knows This much, however, we do know. The people have had nothing to do with making this Republican list combination ticket, nor with making the changes in it. They have not been consulted, nor per- to take any part in it if they had been so inclined to do. We the assertion that out of the four thousand white votes in Pitt county are not today forty who can name the whole of the mongrel ticket they will be asked to vote. On the other hand we venture the further assertion that there not forty voters who cannot name the men on the Democratic ticket. One ticket will be of a trade. The other will be the work of the people Voter, which will you take It is for you to say. Herald Loses Faith. The New York Herald has been doing some marvelous stunts since the nomination of Judge Parker. Up to a few days ago the Herald has been supporting the date ardently and predicting his election Now the Herald has lost faith and declares editorially that President Roosevelt's election is most a foregone conclusion. The Herald is a great political results. The last attempt at on the part of the was during the mayoralty campaign in New York city two years ago. That paper announced that Greater New York would give Mayor Lowe majority. The Herald only missed the result eighty thousand. Geo. R. was elected Mayor over Lowe by sixty thousand major- So it is a case of guess with the Herald after all. It is a pity that the paper has lost but there are enough of us left on this side of the fence lo keep things lively until after, the election any way. Wilmington Dispatch.

A grand jury down in recommended the printing for gen- distribution of the names of all the taxpayers and the amounts they give in We believe this would be eminently wise and effective, or, to speak more precisely, wise because it would be effective. If a man when he gives in his taxes knew that the amount was going to be exposed for the whole world to see he would give his conscience more latitude and its result would be a decided increase, in taxables One of the loosest features of the government today is the slack-twisted way in which the taxing is done.

Fifty drunken goats caused a great deal of excitement in Old Forge. Some men dumped a of fermented wheat in a vacant lot near where a number of were pasturing. The odor arrested the attention of the goats as being very tempting. They swarmed down the mountain and had a glorious time eating the wheat, The effect on the proved fatal, as they had eaten so much that they were poisoned. The residents feel the loss severely, as they derived their milk supply from the goats Independent. It's saying a good deal when the Republicans declare the Democrats unlit to rule the country, when the truth is, not enough white men have voted the Republican ticket any one year in the last forty to elect a Re- publican President. If Mr. Roosevelt is elected this year it must be done by the in Ohio, New Jersey, West Virginia and Maryland.
