Fashionable Dress Goods.
F all the articles of apparel women’s dress is the
most conspicuous, and either makes or mars her
appearance.
The fashioning of the dress—the making—has
much to do with its appearance, but afier all the fab
ric approved by the fashion must be provided,
and in such quality as to give elegance and character
to the finished dress.
This means you must have quality material to
begin with, that you must have fabric that fashion
approves.
To this add good dressmaking and . yon are
gowned fashionably, ele&antly, and after such styles
as afford satisfaction—you might say elation.
We have provided, the stylish dress goods liber
ally this season. We bought more than we ever did
before to give you a larger, a nicer and a better liue
to select from. We will be pleased to show them to
you.

A L etter to R. F. D. C arrien and O ther
Federal Official*.
D e a e B o y s :—
Don’t be uneasy on account of
what Simmons and JosepUus Dan
iels art saying. They and all their
friends haven't as much influence
with Eoosarelt and the Federal
government as one good .Republi
can has.
You all know your oaths of office
and what you were appointed for
Do that. That’s all the govern
ment has to do with you. But the
whole thing up there wants every
one of you to vote the Republican
ticket and do everything in your
power that a gentleman can hon
estly do for the whole Eepublican
ticket. The very idea of the Presi
dent and the leaders af the Repub
lican party being opposed to any
body encouraging men to vote the
Republican ticket! They every
one believe the safety of the coun
try depends on it. Of course there
are limitations placed by the law
and by good manners upon you
and upon all men. All of you be
sure not to squander or waste any
of the public moneys or stamps
that come into your hands. Don’t
pad your reports or nearly double
the expense of running your offices,
as the Democrats have done in
running the State institutions and
schools late'y.
For God’s sake, your country’s
and your own, don’t, if you should
get to be registrar or poJl-holder
in the next election, make or certi
fy under oath auy false or fraudu
lent returns of the voles cast; and
don’t advise any registrar or poll-
holder to do so. Don’t have any
county board of elections appointed
on account of their special knowl
edge of who the quick and slick
fellows are in each precinct to han
dle election returns so as to make
them your way regardless of the
facts. Don’t try to get any Dem
ocratic official impeached and re
moved from office solely because
be is a Democrat. . And moreover
don’t let your conduct be influ
enced by anything that F. M. Sim
mons may say or write or threaten
you with. That’s just one.of his
ways to try to get himself elected
to a six year’s term at the senate
pie counter. Thousands ol magis-
tratss, constables, sheriffs, super
intendents of schools, boards of
education, registers, registrars,
poll holders and clerks will from
now until two days after the elec
tion be ever so busy to keep them
selves in office. To hear them tell
it, we Republicans are nothing and
nowhere. Yet according to Jose
phus Daniels “Bob Glenn” is con
verting more Republicans to the
Democratic faith each day than
they, are willingoto admit there are
intheState. Democrate are scared.
Their disgraceful appeals to race
prejudice, abuse of Butler, and
'Simmons' attempt to draw at
tention _ to rural free delivery
) carriers and other Federal officials
! are as weak as muddy water. Do !
your duty in your offices and all j
you can for the Republican partj
besides. To every one of you that
will be instrumental in getting five
Democrats to vote Republican I’ll
see that Teddy will send a cromo.

TH E TARIFF.
‘‘If the Republican ‘High Pro
tective Tariff’ is responsible for the
(xEEAT prosperity the country is
enjoying, why don’t they increase
the tariff fifty or one hundred per
cent aud give us that much more
prosperity!’—Mocksville Courier.
Now let’B put a little practical
common every day sense into this
tariff question. Now, Mr. Courier,
suppose you were going to build a
pasture fence, and after erecting
your fence eight rails high you find
that your cattle and sheep are get
ting over the fence, yon would nat
urally conclude that your fence was
too low, and then suppose you
would go back and raise it ten rails
high, aud found that it was suffi
cient—no more jumping out- would
you hot conclude that you had it
high enough, aud stop? Would
there be any necessity for building
it twelve or fifteen rails high when
it answered your purpose! Wt
think not..
Again, suppose you had a piece
of bottom land, too wet to work,
and you would cut a ditch to drain
it, and after cutting a two foot
ditch the water drained off and left
your land in fiue condition for cul
tivating. Would there be any sense
or reason for you hiring ditchers
to. cut it four feet wide, when the
two foot ditch answered your pur- j
pose? We think not. Soit is with i
the tariff. The Repeblicans passed j
the Dingly- till, and since its pas
sage the country has grown pros
perous, labor is well employed at
good wages, farmers are getting
good prices for all their products,
the mills are all running on full
tiiue aud our trade is the greatest
in our history. With such condi
tions existing, is there, auy reason j
why we should change! None, j
save aud except to give to a few I
pie eating, pie hunting Democrats I
a job, and the people are not going ;
to do it, Colonel, so there you are.

Our policeman can’t arrest a man

W o n d e r if the editor of the Couri
er can tell its readers why the sheriff
of Forsyth county held” a warrant
sent him from this county 30 days
before executing it?
T h e editor of the Statesville Land
mark seems tocall in question the
statement that the clerk’s office in
this county does not pay more than
$300 or $400 per year. The present
clerk has been in nearly four years,
and that is what he says.
T h e old ’68 and ’69 issues are too
old and dead for the people to be
aroused by an effort to go back so
far, and the nigger! nigger! yell has
played out, but Gov. Glenn has learn
ed these so well that he is unable to !
talk about present and living issues. ■
As a Sunday preacher and a Mon
day abuser of Republicans the gov
ernor is quite a success, but we think
he should be kept out of the pulpits
until he is regenerated, converted
LET’S SEE.
“Mr. Reynolds, in his speech
Tuesday, talked with a flourish
about how much the' railroad
had done for Davie couuty, giv
ing iis an ill ustrd tiou that be-,
fore the railroad Winve ‘wood was
worth seventy-five cents per cord,
and now it is worth tnree times as
much,’ but he faiied to tell the
people that the Republicans ot
Davie were opposed to the issuing
of those bonds, and consequently
opposed to the railroads. This is
another ease of ‘meand Betsy killed
the bear.’ ”—Mocksville Courier.
Now we are aware that the price
of wood did not rise very much
at first after the railroad got
here, for the road was built to
Mocksville in 1891. and in 1897
wood was being delivered here at
seventy-live ceuts per cord. So
you see the railroad did not, do it
at all. Sound money and tariff leg
islation were euacted before prices
made much advance. The Dingly
tariff did not go into effect until
July 24th, 1897, and the gold stand -
ard law was passed in 1900, and
prices gradually.began to rise, and
times got better, and today we are
enjoyiug prosperity as never be.
fore.
Some time ago the Courier pub
lished au article in which lie, for
his party, claimed all the credit
fop the railroad, and said that Re
publicans opposed the bonds, and
that the people were indebted to
the Democrats for the railroad, etc.
Kow we are going to open the
Courier’s eyes just a little bit be
fore we get through. In July,
1882, $10,000 worth of bonds were
issued by the Democratic board of
ettuiity commissioners. The peo
ple were being taxed for these
bonds nearly ten years before the
railroad was built, and if the edi
tor of the Courier will examine the
records iu ttie courthouse he will
find that E. W. Tatum, P. 0.
! Tatum and others filed a petition
with the board against issuing any
more bonds, and if he will consult
some of our people who are con
versant with the facte he will find
that his lamented father, Maj. W.
B. Clement, was very much oppos
ed to these bonds being issued, and
after these 830.000 bonds were is
sued H. E. Robertson, one of the
commissioners, took these bonds
early one morning before Maj.
Clemeut came up town, and went
through by Dr. B. 0. Clement’s
house on his way to Salisbury to
deliver the bonds, for fear Maj.
Clement would find' it out, and
swear out an injunction.
The editor of the Courier in say
ing that the Republicans of Davie
were opposed to the issuing of these
bonds certainly don’t claim that
P. O. Tatum, E. AV. Tatum and
Maj. W. B. Clement were Repub
licans, for they certainly opposed
it, and the record bears us out as
to the first two mentioned.

ONE HEART’S ENOUGH.
One heart’s enough for me—
One heart to love, adore;
One heart’s enough for me;
Oh, who could wish for more?
The birds that soar above,
And sing their songs on high,
Ask but for one to love,
And therefore should not I?
One pair of eyes to gaze,
One pair of sparkling blue,
In which sweet love betrays
Her form of fairest hue;
One pair of glowing cheeks,
Fresh as the rose and fair;
Whose crimson blush bespeaks
The health that’s native there.
One pair of hands to twine
Love’s flowers fair and gay,
And form a wreath divine
Which never can decay;
And this is all I ask,
One gentle form and fair—
Beneath whose smiles to bask,
And learn love’s sweetness there.
—Auguste Mignon.

T he Public Schools.
[Continued from last week.]
It shows that the school fund in
1905 was about two and one-half
times as much as it. was from 1S96
to 1900. .Yet the school term was
only about one-seventh longer. Our
Democratic friends may, when they
find that we have been looking at
the horrible record they have made
along this l'ne, attempt to explain
this by saying “Yes, we know we
have spent nearly twice as much
money as you did and only length
ened the school term fifteen days.
We had more children in school
and taught more schools,”
Anticipating their argument
along this line I have examined
the record to see how this is.
In 1898 we had 628,480 children
of school age.
In 1900 we had 659,629. In 1901
we had 667,981. Ia 1902 we had
676,612. In 1903 we had 678,575.
In 1904 we had 686,009. Andin
1905 we had 697,622.
Relative lncreau.
The reports show that the nuiu
ber of school children have iu
creased only about 30 per cent.
since 1884, while the cost per day
of running the school has increased
more than 150 per cent., and the
school fund has increased more
than 300 per cent. The reports
also show that the uumber of
children has increased only about
10 per cent, since 189S, while the
cost per day to run the schools has
increased from $14,120 per day to
$25,961 50, or about 90 per cent.,
and that the school fund has in
creased from $9S8,409.11 to $2,-
308,728.98, or about 250 per cent.
So you will see that there is notb-
i ng in the argument that the enor
mous iucrease in the cost is on ac
count of an increase in the num
ber of children; for the increase in
expenses is entirely out of propor
tion to the increase in the number
of children.
Let us see if there is anything
in the proposed argument in regard
the increase in the number oi
schools taught.
In 1901 the number of public
sehools taught in North Carolina
was 7858. Iu 1902 the number ol
schools taught was 7S8S, In 1903
the number of schools taught was
8817. In 1905 the number Oi
schools tanght was 7578.
An examination of these figures
will show that there were.280 mort
schools taught in 1901 than iu 1905.
•In 1901 the school fund was $1,-
* 119,746, and the school term 77
days, while iu 1905 the school fund
was $2,308,928.98, which was more
than doable what the school fane
was in 1901, yet the school term
was only. 85 days. It therefore ap
pears that the school fund in 1905
was $1,18S,9S2.98 more than in
190 L, aud yet there were only eight
days more school term, aud we bar
2S0 less schools. It will be seen
that each one of those. eight days
cost the taxpayers of the State tbt
enormous sum of $148,622.97. Sc
you can at once see that there is-
nothing in the anticipated argu
ment that they taughtmoresehools.
Theabove figures show that tbi
total cost of a day’s schooling it
1901 was only $14,500, aud that in
1898 aud 1900 it was $14,120 pel
day.' These eight days should not
have cost the State more than
$113,000, yet the above figures
show that these eight days under
Democratic management of oui
Democratic school officials did cosl
the State the magnificent sum of
$1,188,982.98. Itis no w onder to
me, knowing as I do the inordinate
desire of average Democratic poli
tician to get his hands in the treas
ury, that they should grow enthu
siastic over our progress iu educa
tion.
-v The total school fund in 189S was
$988,409.11 and the school term
was 70 days. This was under a
Bepublicau administration. Now
if you double, this fund should it
' notr give us 140 days, or seveu
months of school? Yet iu 1905
this-sum was by iucreased taxes,
higher assessments, loan and State
appropriations more than doubled,
• and instead'of our school term
doubling we now have only 85 days
school and in many counties less
than 80, which is the constitution
al requirement. With such a rec
ord I cannot'see how our Demo
cratic friends have the- assurance to
boast of their record upon educa
tion. These are cold facts and fig
ures, shown by the record, and
cannot be disputed.
Abont the only weapon left for
our Democratic triends is the wea
pon of abuse. This weapon is in
variably resorted to by men who
have no argument. But I thank
God that the day has passed in
North Carolina when the honest
voters of the State can be stamped
ed by the cry of “nigger” and by
the abuse aud vilification of the
opposition.
GivesMore Figures.
I am exceedingly anxious that
you get these figures that I have
given you and will recapitulate.
In 1895,1896,1897,1898 and 1899,
during the period that the Repub
licans were in charge of the schools
of the State it cost the State of
North Carolina about $14,000 a
day to run the public schools.
UuderDemocratic rule in 1902 it
cost $18,561.50 per day, in 1903 it
cost $18,123.10, in 1904 itcost$22.-
367.75 aud in 1905 it cost $25,-
961.50 per day to run the public
schools in Noi-th Carolina; in other
words it cost the State $11,961.50
more each day to run the public
schools in 1905 under ..Democratic
management than it did in 1898
under Republican mauagement.
Listen again. In 1903 we had
16 7-10 weeks school in the State,
in 1904 we had JL7 weeks school
and in 1905 we had only 17 weeks
school. Nowletus seje what this
gain of 3-10 of a week or U days
cost the State of North Caroliua.
In 1903 the school fund was $1,-
584,222.13 and in 1904 it was $1,-
'901,237.29, making the increase in
one year $317,015.16, but this in
crease in the school fund did not
give us but IJ days''- more school
term. It will be seen that the cost
per day for this increase was $21,-
343.44.
The official reports show that
there were fewer schools taught in
1904 than in 1903, The teachers
lid not get this extra s u ju , for
these reports show that the teach
ers were paid only $15,000 more
in 1904 than iu 1903. Comparing
1903 with 1905 we find that the
school term is only Ti days longei
iu 1905, yet the school fund in
1903 was $1,564,222.13 and in 1905
it was $2,308,728.98 or an increase
of $724,506.85, in the two years.
This increase nearly equals the to
tal school fund in 1894 when we
had 64 days school, yet in 1905 it
did not iucrease the school term
but I] days.
By comparing 1904 with 1905
we find that school fund increased
in one year $307,59 L.09, yet the
school term did not increase a day
In the State. Strange figures these!
What has been done with the peo
ple’s money? We will leave it to
Democratic politicians to explain—
we cannot.
To throw some light on the ques
tioo, let us examine the expense
account of the Republican adminis
tratiou and the Democratic. The
total expense including salaries oi
county superintendents, county in
stitutes, treasurers, commissioi ers,
boards of education and all other
purposes iu 189S was less than
$90,000. These same expeuses'in
L903 were $168,840.21, in 1904
they were $194,007 24 and In 1905
were $199,488.62. In other wordh
the running expenses, money which
does not go iuto the schools, was
over $109,000 more iu 1905 than in
1898.
reckless manner in ' which these
taxes have been spent.
How T he Sidtools A re M a n a g e d ._
The superintendents and these
county boards are not selected by
the people. The people have no
voice in who shall teach their chil
dren, and who shall manage their
schools. They give you the right
to elect your sheriff who arrests
criminals; they give you the right
to elect your coroners to hold the
inquests over the dead; they give
you the right to elect yonr governor
—yes, they give you these rights,
but when it crmes to electing those
who are to manage your schools,
they deny you that right.
I am informed that the way these
efficers are selected is that the
chairman of the executive commit
tee of the Democraticparty in each
county recommends to the legisla
ture the men he desires to consti
tute the county board of education.
These men are appointed by a
Democratic legislature on this re
commendation. This board thus
appointed then selects a county
superintendent of public schools;
the county board of education and
the county superintendents then se
lect all the school committeemen in
the county. This is the way it is
done, and the people have no voice
therein. Your county superintend
ent in this county may be a good
man; I do not know who Le is.
Your board of education may be
composed of good men. I do not
know any of them. • But the sys
tem is wrong, and as long, as it is
permitted to continue as it now is,
the people’s money will be squan
dered.

CHEW WHAT Y O U K H O W ABOUT
Only choice selections of this well matured and thor
oughly cured tobacco is used in making SCHNAPPS.
That’s why SCHNAPPS and other of the Reynolds’
brands, as shown by the Internal Revenue statistics
for a fecal year, made the wonderful growth of six
and one-quarter million pounds, cr a net gain of
one-third of the entire increased consumption
of chewing and smoking tobaccos in the
I - United States.
Evidently, chewers cannot resist the
flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS be
cause SCHNAPPS cheers them more
than any other chewing tobacco and
every m an that chews - SCH N A PPS passes the
good thing along—one cfcewer makes other chew
ers—until the fact is now established that there
are m any more' chewers ..and pounds of tobacco
chewed, to the population, in those States where
SC H N A PPS tobacco w as first sold than there are in
the States w here SC H N A PPS has not yet been offered
to Ihe trade.
AND KNOW W H A T Y OU A R E C H EW IN G
SC H N A PPS is like a cup of fine Java coffee, sweetened
ju st enough to bring out its natural, stim ulating qualities.
SC H N A PPS pleases all classes of chewers I the rich, be
cause they do not find a chew that really pleases them better
at any price; the poor, because it is more economical than
the larger 10c. or 15c. plugs and they get their money’s w orth
of the real snappy, stim ulating flavor so appreciated by tobacco
lovers. AU im itations contain m uch m ore sweetening than
SC H N A PPS. T hey are m ade that way to hide poor tobacco im
properly cured.
F o r the m an w ho chews tobacco for tobacco’s sake, there is no chew
like SC H N A PPS.
Sold at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts. Strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs.
