A GREAT VICTORY.
The people of Uortta Carolina
decided at the polls last Tnesday
that the inanufactnre and sale of
whiskey must cease in North Caro
lina, and on January 1st, 1909, the
doors of every saloon and distillery
in the State wiii close. Of course
the blind tiger will still do busi
ness at the same old stand, and
many drug stores will dispense the
booze as of yore, the rich man will
order Iiis bug jti.re from other
states, but the poor white man and
the negro will think it is a- mighty
long time betweeu drinks.
The vote was rather light, many
voters remaining at home. The
entire west with but few excep
tions, gave good majorities for-pro-
liibition, and many eastern coun-.
ties are to be found in the prohi
bilion column. The Eecord has
claimed through its columns for
many moons that the prohibition
ticket would be elected by 40,000
majority, and our figures were not
far wrong.
Everybody is glad that the great
fight is over, and that once more
the brethren of nil parties and re
ligious persuasions can dwell to
gether in peace and harmony, and
once again hear preached from the
pulpits the old time religion, and
Chrisiand Him crucified. There
has been many unkind words said
during the campaign just closed—
wounds made that it will lake
many years to heal. Many men
whom we thought were Christian
gentlemen have acted in sui-h a
way and used language during
this campaign that ill becomes such
men. But the great fight is over,
and we.trust that those who went
astray and wandered far from the
path of the Christian and the gen
tleman, will live to repent of their
wrongs, and find again a teat in
the midst of the righteous.

rious counties, which we think is
nearly if not absolutely correct

The prohibition election is now a
thing of the past, and it is the duty
of every citizen of North Carolina to
help inforce the law.______
There is going to be some great
changes come about between this
time and the November election.
Mark our prediction.
The Record is independent on many
subjects and says what it pleases.
Those whom it cannot please, need
not read the paper.
The man who is afraid to vote his
sentiments for fear of hurting his
business, should he disfranchised.
Such things are cowardly.
This is the month of lies. Many

time of year are not considered as
such.'—
After glancing over the Lenoir
Topic, we find that there are still a
few democrats in Caldwell county
who wouldn’t run from an office if
it were offered them.
Davie county 498 votes were cast a-
gwiust the.bill, and as Oue of the 498
who so voted, we accept the result,
and advise every man in the coun
ty who thus voted to do his duty as
a good citizen in upholding the
laws of our land. If it is a failure,
time will demonstrate the fact, and
if its a good thing every good "‘citi
zen will say amen. The bitterness
and strife stirred up should be al
lowed to smoulder into- ashes -of
foigetfulness. and charity’ should
take the place of harsh words and
unkind thoughts. Those ho op
posed the ratification of the law in
this county were actuated by as
good motives as those who advoca
ted it, and he is no friend of law
and good government who attempts
to keep up,strife and discord among
a people who should be united in
enforcing and upholding every law
on the siatnie books, a majority
of the votes cast were in favor of
the law, and no good citizen will
violifte the law as long as it re
mains on the statute book, and it
matters noton which side one stood
before the election, it’s the law by
the majority vote, and both politi
cal parties voted for and against
it, and boih are equally bound by
the w ill of the majority. Let’s lay
aside all personal feelings, and re
solve that the lav shall be given -a
fair showing, let the results be what
they may. If it is good, all will be
more or less benefitted by it; if'on
the other hand it is the reverse,
those who have made it, can un-.
make it. The opposition to the
bill in Davie county was uot or
ganized, and yet 498 votes were
cast against it, and if some of those
who favored the bill are to be be
lieved, all the goodness and de-
ceucy is on their side; if this is so,
I am uot only sorry for myself, but
exceedingly sorry for the other 497
who voted against it. Now as for
me, I have no apology to make for
my position or vote, but I: grace
fully accept the result, and ask the
other 497 to join me in letting by
gones be bygones, IettingThe dead
pnfat bury its dead. Let’s turn our
face to the future, forgetting and
forgiving those who may have of
fended us by word or deed, and
let’s use our intellect, muscle and
all the energies of brain and brawn
for the upbuilding of this great
country of ours, whose latent pos
sibilities are pregnant with good
thiugs for those who have the
honesty, the courage and the en
durance to contend and hold out for
the right as they see it. We may
have been wrong, and those who
differed with us may have been
right, time only can tell, and- the
only wise and sane thing to do is
to be good, push onward and up
ward to a higher plane and leave
it to the future to determine who
is who, and what is best for us all.
E. II. H obris.
There are many good true Repub-
licans in Davie county who have
opinions and a will; men whom the
thoughts of office will not kill, and
'they should be hunted up and re
warded.
The Republican National Conven
tion is only two weeks off. From
present indications Taft will be the.
Republican nominee for President.
Two or three states have instructed
for Roosevelt.
Agentlemantold us election day
that if he wanted to read an anti
prohibition paper, be would take
The Record. Possibly he never heard
of the man who picked up the red-
hot stove and dropped it.
' The Democratic State Convention
meets in Charlotte June 24th, and it
is expected to be a Warm proposit
ion. Craig will likely be nominated
for Governor, since Simmons has
come out publicly for him. What
ever Boss Simmons says, generally
goes.
IS THE RESULT RN AL?
Republican and Democraticparties
are pledged to Local Self-Govern
ment. In fact it is a fundamental
doctrine of both. Will each accept
the vote on the prohibition bill on
Tuesday-as a nullification of that
principal or will a protest be enter
ed against it in the platforms that
will be formulated at the State Con
ventions of these two parties? Now
that the election is over and the
gtnoke of battle has cleared away, it
is but natural that this question and
its solution will be looked forward
to with no small degree of interest
as the time for these State gather
ings draws near-Union Republican.
THE LAW.
’ The result of last week’s election
is possibly known by every reader
of The Record, and it appears from
the majority given prohibition that
t he people desire it and are willing
to give the law.which goes into ef
fect Jan. 1st, 1909, a fair trial. In

.. A C orrespondent
Deed by Daniel Boone.
Through the kiudntss of Mr. S.
J. Ctiley the Dispatch is privileged
to look on a number of very ancient
and interesting documents, one of
which is'a" deed given by Daniel
Boone ami signed by him in ink.
This rare fiud was the result of an
accident, and came - about in the
following way : For 54 years, there
has been one of these old-fashion
walnut chests in the family of
Miss Jane Turner, a lady living in
West Lexington, and daughter «.f
the late Wm. Turner. Of late
years it has not been, used save to
pack bed ciothes on, the inside,Be
ing . vacant. Monday the chest
was moved for some purpose from
where it had been resting for quite
awhile, and a little boy, as boys
will, began “ messing” with it. and
accidentally struck a secret driwer.
which he opened. In it was the
deed, and a lot of other things.
The deed, uufortunately, is not
whole, being, of course very old
indeed. It is ia. pieces, and some
of it is missing. In fact some of
the old papers were burned up bo
fore anyone thought they were
worth while and doubtless part of
the missing deed was throwu in
the fire. The instrument is partly
printed in the quaint old style,

A TEEATICE ON HORSE COLLARS.
BOTH MEN AND HORSES WEAR COLLARS! The difference is
not only in size and character, but a man can select a fit—a horse can’t.
Therefore the necessity for good judgment in buying the Genuine Kind.
A cheap, badly stuffed collar of inferior leather will not only harm a
horse’s skin, but break in important parts before it has been-in use,
maybe a couple months. . Our ‘‘AU Kip Team Collars,” “Wood Faced”
never fail to give comfor-t'to the horse, and double the money’s worth to
the farmer. We are always particular about the fit—that’s why we have
in stock so many sizes. Bring around your horses, large or small, and let
us ,take care of their collar and harness' needs. Our stock of “Shape
made” harness, in general, is now larger than ever before, and prices lower
and we most urgently invite your inspection of same. We pay cash for
hides. : Yours to serve, ■ ■ '

SOME THINGS THAT WILL KEEP YOU GRINNING FOR A WEEK.
A BIG TRIP;
Ourold friend, 'Capt. E. W.
Koontz, of Salisbury, who punch
es tickets and scrutinizes passes on
the passenger trains of the South
ern between Salisbury and Ashe
ville, has extended us a cordial in
vitation to come down aDd accom
pany him in an automobile spin
through Davidson county. Course
we will go. W hoeverheard ofau
editor refusing an invitation? And
an automobile ride. Great scott!
We can even now imagine ourself
sailing through space and lighting
on the pinnacle of a large tobacco
factory. We once knew a man
whose father owned two tobacco
factories, which turned out, after a
closer examination, to be tobaceo
barns. .Some people are in theJjhe said, “ Well, I’ll be d - d.”
habit of owning many things—in
their minds. But that automobile
how to spell Lazzatus—as I am
short on likker and was wanting to
git ofifan order to Lynchburg on
this here next mail.”
And the man who saw Regener
ation on this porch went softly on
his way—he looked into the heav
ens where the angels dwell-^he
gazed out on the beautiful land
scape which God had. formed and
fashioned—he drank in rb‘e per
fume of the wild flowers that peep
ed at him with saucy eyes from the
old fences along the way—he re
called that from the dust or Earth
man was made—and in a whisper
that was lower even than the soft
south wind that doftly ouches his
Peruna painted cheek—a whisper
that even the angels failed to hear,
ride is not imaginary, for it is our
purpose to go and see how it feels
to ride in one of them honk-honks.
We will wear our best-grade white
hat, our patent tooth picks, our
four dollar striped suit, a 30 cent
extra quality shirt, and if possible
we will borrow a 10 cent pipe and
a 25 cent walking stick. There is
nothing like being dressed fashion
ably. Good clothes impress ones
enemies as well as ones friends. It
is our aim to appear very impress
ive on this trip. Perhaps some
one may mistake us for a bank
president, cashier, or the janitor.
We make it our business to forge
ahead, tnerefore we will set on the
front seat with the driver, while
Capt. Koontz will bring up the
rear and the refreshments. The
start will be made from some point
in Salisbury, but the point hasn’t
been located. The flying automo
bile, accompanied by the contents,
will make a dash due north, but
. will run down before striking the
North Pole. On our trip we may
pass through the village of Lexing
ton, but will not stop at smaller
towns that Swearing Creek.. We
are hunting up a good life insur
ance company, and will start. ofi
prepared for any emergency. We
generally eat too mueh on such oc
casions. On our arrival back home
we will try to give our Horuet
readers a short account of what
happened during our absence.
P. S. Merry widows are warn
ed to keep in doors during our
spin, as the machine is afraid of
them.
THIS IS A GOOD ONE.
Everything.
Be it known that there is in
Lynchburg, Yirginiai a mail order
likker house called the Lazarus
Company, or,. Laearus is proprietor
or something or other where his
name is used m sending for a few.
So it happened the other day iu
Danville that a strong prohibition
i s t was walking dowrn a principal
street and saw an erstwhile toper
sitting on his front pored poring
over a Bible.- The erstwhile one
seemed much interested in the
pages of the sacred book, and the
prohibitionist was p r o fo u n d ly
struck with the situation. He ex
ulted. He saw-that his good work
had already borne fruit and the
saloons had been but a week gone.
Hesalntedhisneighboraud said:
“ Well, Iam glad to see this. It
fills my heart with joy and doubly
so. when. I know I took such a great
part in the ejection. But a few
weeks ago my friend, and you were
lined up with the thugs and the
gamblers, and today, under this
beautiful reign of prohibition you
are at your home, you are seated
on your front porch reading that
sacred book—indeed, this is joy
enough for all the years. I take it
that you are now studying His
word in order that you, like the
city, mayTTe regenerated.”dk -The old pilgrim on the porch re
plied saying: “ Hit ain’t the di
. vine word of which'I am a read

How to Make Merry Widow Hat*.
Take ore cart wheel. Super
impose on the hnb one wire waste
paper basket. Stitch on cover of
white fishing net over green mos
quito bar from your iaai season’s
cam ping outfit. Around thiscrown,
bank a few sunflowers and daises,
brown roses, cerise and crimson
chrysanthemums, a bunch of tall
grass, a spray of lavender lilacs,
Alice blue hyacinths, a stock of
hollyhocks, purple and varigated
petunis, pink verbenas, and candy
tuft intersected with the blue and
brown for-get-me-nots. Next take
fifty-three yards of lavender color
ribbon edged with cerise, and con
struct a number of loops for either
side of the front of the hat extend
ing from the center of the crown
to either edge of the brim, using
as braces or stifFeni.<g long strips ol
bambo. In the center of this dait
ty bow place the garden gate, the
latest fad in a Merry Widow bat
buckle. Should the ribbon not be
forthcoming, two canoe paddles,
secured by the above mentioned
buckle and appropriately tinted
will serve satisfactorily. A wooden
golf stick, a garden rake and aflag
pole will give a jaunty effect as hat
pins. Theseareonlya few hints

Youthful Night Riders Get Dose of Their
Own Medicine.
Alarmer in Posey county planted
a crop of tobacco this year for
home consumption only’. His two
sons, 18 and 11, ,assumed the roll
of “night riders,” and endeavored
to frighten their father by cutting
a lot of switches and laying them
at the-front door of the home. On
the door they tacked this sign-
“Old Man: If you raise any to
bacco this year there will be h— —
raised here.—Night Eiders.
Prom a window in the kitchin
the father watched the work of the
boys, and when they were fast
asleep he stole into their room. In
trousers leg of each he. deposited a
bunch of switches, and on the
seat of the garments was attached
the following sign:
“Night Eiders: Meet me at the
barn at 7 o’clock in the morning,
when h-— raising will begin
Old Man.
Thfe boys met the father at the
appointed hour and after he gof
through with them they though it
would be well to raise a crop of to
bacco and promised to work dili
gently through the season.- Owens-
ville Dispatch.

Last night before breakfaBt in
the afternoon, a hungry boy forty
years old, bought a penny biscuit
for a dime, and. threw it through a
stone wall nine feet thick, jumped
over it and broke his ankle , just
above the knee. Forty years after
on the same day a id old cat and

yankee doodle frying pan, knocked
down the old dutch; churn and

Woodpecker Hogs. ■
Walter Brannock, going through
the country, saw a drove of hogs,
large but pretty leau, and noticed
that they would all at once run Jo
another part of the field, stay there
a few minutes, then hump them
selves to a different place, ITbey
kept this up for some time. The
buyer called upon the farmer, said
he had been looking at his hogs,
and they were abdut what he
wanted, except that they were
lightin weight, and then -he men
tioned their peculiar nervousiness.
The farmer, in a hoarse whisper,
explained that he had always call
ed the hogs to feed them, but that
he took cold and lost his voice,
and then got iu the habit of pound
ing on the fence with a stick—and
now since the weather is getting
warm “ the darned woodpeckers
are running those hogs to death.”
—Pleasant Hill Times.
He Announced His Intentions.
A young man and his lady love
attended a protracted meeting
which was being held in the village
church. Arriving late, they found
the church filled, but a gentleman
gave the lady his seat, while the
young man was ushered to a seat
in another part of the building.
The service grew warm and im
pressive
‘ ‘ W ill those who want our prayers
please stand up!” said the preacher.
At this juncture the young man
thought it was getting late and he
would get his sweetheart and jp
home, but not just knowing where
she sat he rose to his feet and look
ed over the audience.
The minister mistaking his inten
tions, asked: “Young man, are you
seeking salvation?”
“No I am looking for Sal Jackson!'
Why He Mar. iec: Again. -
r An Ohio lawyer tells of a client
of qis—a German farmer, a hard
working, plain, blunt man—.who
lost his wife not long ago The
lawyer had sought him.out to ex
press his sympathy ; but to his con
sternation the Tneton laconically
observed: . ..
“But I am married again,”
“You don’t tell me! exclaimed
the legal light. “ Why, it has been
but a Wtiek or two since you buried
your wife!”

Millions Wasted For Fertilizer.
I have been thinking over the
statement which Mr, Ho>t made
last week iu regard to the amount
of fertilizers bought in South Caro
lina already this seaRon. Six hut)-
dred and three thousand five hun
dred and forty three tons of ferti
lizer! Let us assume that these
tons cost an average of $29 per ton
(and this is a low estimate f think)
aud we have here in the spring
msnths of this year the great sum
of $12,070,860 that the- farmers of
South Carolina have paid, or prom
ised to pay, for fertilizers alone.
Snpp' se that these fertilizers are
all the low grade ot the 2 —8—2
goods, there has been spent for ni
trogen alone, at twenty cents per
pound, nearly $5,000,000!
And so far as the cotton crop is
concerned, not a cent of the five
million dollars need have been
spent if the farmers farmed right.
Suppose that all the land now in
cotton in South Carolina had been
sown in cowpeas Ta t summer and
these peas had had an application
of three hundred pounds ot acid
phosphate and fifty pounds of mu
riate of potaf h per acre, and if the
great crop of peavine hay this
would have produced had been
fed last wintei, and the mauuie
spread broadcast ou the land that
is now in cottou—what a differ
ence there would be in the crop of
cotton tnis season! The land would
get far more nitrogen in this way
that, it would in a whole torn per
a ere ot the 2—8—2 goods. And
J el many will apply but 200 pounds
pei1 acre of that low.grade mixture,
oiie-fmu t.i of which is dirt no bet
ter than what the farmer already
has. He will be applying four
pounds of nitrogen per acre, an
amount that would hardly effect
the ci op at all, for it is but two-
thirds as much as the annual rain
fall supplies. But all over the
State it has cost nearly five mill
ion of dollars. And when the
money is spent it has added uoth
iug of value to crop or 6oil while
if the same amount of money had
been used on a pea crop in the ap
plication of acid phosphate and
potash, there would have been
feed for stock, feed for the soil;
and humus making material to
keep up the improvement, if the
forage is fed aud returned to the
soil that made it. With only acid
phosphate and potash applied to
the peas and the peas left to make
the cotton after feeding them, the
farmers of South Carolina conld
save five millions of dollars annu
ally that they spend for nitrogen
which they < ould get in far larger
amount without cost, and at the
same time be restoring the wasted
humus to their soil.
I have frequently mentioned the
section in Maryland where 80 per
cent of the fertilizer “old contains
no nitrogen, ancT where the best
farmers have bought none for
twenty years, and use only acid
phosphate and potash on the wheat
and yet have brought their land
up to the highest average produc
tion of wheat in the United states,
never thinking of buying fertilizer,
for the corn crop, though they
wake from fifty 'f JT mEeventy-five
bushel.-per acre. But they make
manure at home. Put the cotton
ciopof the South in the. place
and we would soon see the cotton
crop run up in average per acre
till a bale per acre would not be
considered a big yield, and no fer
tilizer to buy but acid phosphate
and potash Jiberally for the peas,
leaving the peas and their feeding
to do the rest. And they wilPdo
it far better than a little 2—8—2
feitilizer dribbled in the furrow,
and the land no better after it is
done, but actually poorer after the
crop is harvested.—W. P. Massey

Enforce the Law.
Greensboro Record.
Advice is cheap, but seldom
hurts. The prohibitionists having
won a victory that even astonished
them, their next move should be
to take steps to see that the law is
not violated. Reference is had
not so much to blind tigers as to
blockade distilleries. The United
States government has been mail •
iaining a force of revenue men in
this State at an expense of about
$200,000 a year, deriving from the
liquor traffic some $700 000 a year.
There has never been any senti
ment in this on the part of-the.gov
ernment; it has been purely busi
ness; this force was maintained to
protect the men who paid the tax
aud the license fees. Now that no
more distillers’ licenses will .be is
sued in North Carolina it is quite
evident that no band of revenue
raider8 will.be kept up., Ofcourse
theie will he a revenue officer .or
two stationed at all centers, but
what the late Senator Vance used
to call “revenue doodlers” will
soon be out of a job. It can, be
safc-ly said that out of ten men who
want to engage in blockading, nine
are deterred by fear of the U. S.
courts—fear of the “revenuers.”
The State law provides punish
ment, but it is nothing like as
drastic as the laws of Uncle Sam,
so that it is probable we shall have
more blockade distilleries than ever
before, for the execution nf the
law will eventually be leftto coun
ty aud State officers. These are
elective officers and we can all see
what is going to happen. In some
counties the Ia will be fairly well
enforced; iu others it. will not, for
it is not a pleasure to - be poking
around after blockade stills, with
nine chances against you. Block
aders will shoot when crowded and
it is dangerous . What is needed
is a reinforcement of public opin
ions causing likewise less demand
for ardent-spirits, Ior where there
is demand there-will be an effort
to supply it. The maximum pen
alty under the State law for blocki
aders is two years, light enough to
cause many men to take, the. risk
when it is known that State officers
must enforce the law. Locally we
do not apprehend- much trouble,
but take-Durham county, where
blockaders are captured almost .ev
ery week or two; the county will
be full ol them and it will spread,
with the return ,of- the old time
way of transportation by wagons
at dead of night. ^
- The fight has just begun and it
is up to the prohibitionists and all
loqers of good government to get
busy. / -

“Goose Creek and New Salem

Let ns say it reverently—thank'
God- -Goose Creek has gone wet.
Had it not been for this—this one
slight hope, dark indeed would
have been our pathway. But with
Goose Creek wet, and horw. in the
worlk could a creek do business if
it wasn’t wet; the country is „at
least partially saved.
But where is Durham, where is
Raleigh -th e two places of all
places where the prohibitionists
did their very level best!' Indeed
it looks as though the more talk
ing they did the more votes they
lost. Goose Creek as we under
stand it, however, was not haran
gued bv either side; she simply-
basked in the sun and reared up
on her hind legs when the time
came and voted as sue drank.
That was the way: to do it, and
that is the only way to give an ex-

are to be congratulated; the state
of North Carolina feels pride in
Goose Creek and especially since
the last legislature in a moment of
unsurprised patriotism passed a
law that made it a felony for peo
ple to throw sawdust in this classic
stream. All is well that ends well,

A Farmers’ Views on Advertising.
If mail order houses get $1,000
outof the county each month that
belongs to the home merchants the
fault is with the merchants them
selves. - These houses advertise
and-give up prices on everything.
They tell us what they Jiave and
what they want for it. Of course
we get Soaked^once in a while.
Then we can try some other house.
Most of the. home merchants who
advertise don’t quote prices. They
neglect to tell us wbat we_want to
know--—the prices. Of course we
can go to the store and ask, but
yon all know how it is—one does
not. know so well what he wants to
buy when he is at home.' And
here is where the mail order house
make their, hit. They send their
advertising matter into ouFhomes,
and w e read it when w e' havenft
anything else to do.
i " 44Right here is where: the home
merchants fall down. If they talk
ed their business to ns in our
homes the same as the mail- order
houses do, tb<* people would be in
to see-t hem next time.they came to
ifit io Ih- I tie Governor of N oith'town and in iu in cases make ex-
that thc-y didn’t know they want
ed until they were brought to their
attention.
“The home merchant can save
the expense of getting out a _ cata
logue. We iead the home paper
more carefully than we do the cat
alogue, and if the merchants want
to talk business with ns let them
put their talk in the home papers
and put it ih so that we know they
mean business. The merchant like
ly nine times out of ten, sells his
goods as cheaply as the mail order
houses, and, I believe, in many
things they are much cheaper, but
how are we to know if he does not
tell us about it!”—Exchange.

J. B. Marsh. Since that time she
has lived a devoted Christian life, al-x ■
ways at her church when able to get
there to share the blessings of the

. What-a Fool Juryman Cul Do.*>■* . i» * . ■
There is absolute need of sensible,
intelligent men on juries for many
reasons, but just take one. One
blockhead fool on a jury can pile
upa.load of unnecessary cost an
the tax payers that will take many
a hard earned dollar to pay. Down
in South Carolina last week a court
order was made for moving and re-
trying a case wherein a negro was
charged with killiug a white man.
He had been convicted axd sen
tenced, when it leaked out that one
Jesse Mahaffey, a juror, former
member of the legislature and a
Methodist preacher, said before the
trial that he would vote to hang
the negro, no matter wbat the evi
dence was. Now on his account,
the whole costly trial has got to be
gone over a second time. "Mahaffey
intensifies his reprehensible act by
saying now that he was “only jest
ing.” So, because one fool jested,
the people must pay out several
thousand dollars. None but men
with real brain in their heads
ought to be in the jury-box, and it
is a common saying that the biggest
fools are selected for jurymen.—Ex.
A Fish Story.
Once some men were fishing; A
big fish came up to a boat and one
of the men threw a stool at it. The
fish swallowed the stool, went away
and presently came back. This
time they threw a bunch of bananas
at it. He swallowed that, and .af
ter awhile came. back. One man
tried to catch it, but, he pulled: the
man overboard, swallowed him.
swam off and finally came back.
The other men finally caught the
fish, cut him open and found the
man sitting on a stool selling bana
nas at ten cents a dozen —Ex.

No angels watch the golden stair

By local line, or ad. displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends, let no rude

Distuib his solitude profound,
Here let him live in calm repose,"
Unsought, except by men he owes,
And when he dies, go plant him deep
That naught may break his dream

Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well; ..
And when the world may know its

Place on his grave a wreath of moss,
And on the stone above, “Here lies
A chump who wouldn’t advertise.”

TIME TO ORGANIZE.
The Industrial News thoughtfully
suggeststhat the accepted time for
the organization of Republican clubs
throughout North Carolina is now at
hand, ane it behooves those who are
interested in this progressive move
ment to bestir themselves. A num
ber of such clubs have alreaey been
organized, some fifteen or twenty, we
believe, and itis highly important
that every covnty in Qie state have at
least one such organization. The
good that this club movement can do
the cause of Republicanism must be
apparent to every one who thinks
:about it at all. Besides stimulating
the old line Republicans, to greater
activity it attracts the party indepen
d en t voters who cannot be reached in
any other way.
The best evidence of the fact that
these clubs can do good to the cause
of Republicanism in North Carolina
is that such papers as the Raleigh
News and Observer have tried by de
rision and ahuse to prevent their or
ganization. Thousands of farmers
business and professional men
throughout the state are sick of the
order of things and need but little
persuasion to a’ly themselves with
that party that stands tor the up
building of North Carolina along in
dustrial and commercial lines.
Let us have 100 Republican clubs
in the Old North State-before the

There is much said about the

are seeing great bugaboos that they
think will come after it; some claim
that tobacco, sugar; coffee, and rice
will next be taken away; well when
they get as harmful as whiskey has
we say let them go. The leading
anti-prohibition man at Spencer,
on the day of election, said he . was
conscientious and was going to
take sides with the ladies and put
in a dry vote. Mr. Boyden, chair
man of the State whiskey league,
said he was going to abide by the
will of the people, and since it was
evident-that the people wanted
prohibition, he-was going to"use
his influence to enforce the law.
This is very nice on his part. If
the law is enforced, the blind tigers
will do but little harm and our
country will be much better. There
is another, poi n t under consideration
in. Rowan; "that is, dry men for
office, and as far as Observer is
concerned, it would be wise to ex
change votes with the dry candi
dates that are already nominated,
and fill in the ticket with dry men
from our side, where they have wet'
men on their side. This wpuld
give us a dry legislature, and dry
officials at home with some of our
men in" office, while otherwise we
may have a very badly mixed legal,
force and none of our men elected.
The wet men will support their
party ticket on either side, but if
the drys will unite we can carry
the majority, of the State—all ex-,
cept a few counties. I throw out
these suggestions for consideration.

Last Thursday afternoon Mocks
ville was again visited by the bo’s-
trous booze artist of the briar patch
(more familiarly known as W. Y.
Willson, ex-Policeman of Mocksville,
who has concealed'about his person
a petition signed by a great number
of the “pure in hemt,” asking ' that
a drunkard be re-appointed to look
after the quiet and good order of
the town) who, it seems, is absolute
ly immune from arrest for his con
duct while in our corporate limits.
OnThursdayabove mentioned this
gentleman loaded up on “liker” and
proceeded to give our citizens one of
his usual and familiar stunts by go
ing to the place of business of some
of our leading men and cursing them
out generally and making an all
round nuisance of himself for about
four or five hours on the public
square. No man, big or little, had
any remedy whatever, except a per
sonal encounter with him, and good
self-respecting men avoided that.
The mayor was applied to for a war
rant, but refused, to issue it upon
the grounds that Willson was not
friendly to him, and that he was not
friendly to Willson. (You can read
ily see that our protection from this
biennial nuisance depends upon the
friendship of said nuisance and the
india-rubber backboned Mayor who
we are taxed to support.) ,Some,
however, are pf the opinion that His
Lordship, theMayor,-is afraid to is
sue a warrant for Willson’s arrest,
but be that as it may, either he
must admit that he can’t give him a
fair trial or that he is afraid to have
the law enforced against him. Eith
er horn of. the dilemma should stim
ulate his latent conscience and
prompt him to hand in his resigna
tion. ,If this apparently latent sense
of decency and justice hidden in his
Majestyhasbeen entirely oblitera
ted by the paltry fees collected from
boys and pickaninnies for petty vio
lations of the ordinances, then an
outraged citizenship should demand
that he uncoil his fish-worm back
bone from the mayoralty and allow
one who has a sufficient amount of
courage and sand to see that our
town ordinances are enforced against
this too frequent drunken regulat
ing business.
Another phase of this matter
which deserves condemnation in our
opinion, was the declaration report
ed to have been made by W. K.
Clement, editor of the Courier,- to
the effect “that he Would back up
and uphold W. Y. Willson in any
thing he did—(Willson had previous
ly been to the bank and asked the
cashier to loan him a 41 Colt’S pistoj)
will some one capable of penetrat
ing the dark recesses of this great
reformer’s heart, explain his con
duct and give us a solution of the
problem presented. With the May
or’s office on the public square where
he could see the ladies and little
children of the town forced to en
counter this drunken,' disorderly,
boistrous immune from arrest, nuis
ance, making the life and time of
every business man on the Square a
burden, forcing ladies to leave the
streets and- hasten home to avoid
the possibility of witnessing- a street
fight on the one . hand or art ava
lanche of vile oaths on the other, arid
yet the head of our town govern
ment refused to issue his warrant
upon the ground of unfriendliness'
Why thi3 .unfriendliness between the
Mayor and the Nuisance? ; HaVe the
charges made publicly on our streets
by Willson that the Mayor, A. M.
McGlamery, had been charging and
collecting excessive and illegal fees
anything to do with the breach of
this erstwhile familiar pair? We
think the conduct of the Mayor in
refusing to issue his .warrant is
equally as reprehensible as that of
the Nuisance. An outraged citizen
ship demands an explanation or a
resignation. A C it iz e n .

The Scott-SIlverIake Shows.
• This show made its opening ap
pearance on Monday night of last
week under canvass, on Depot street,
and notwithstanding the fact that
the town had not been billed, they
wpregreeted by a large audience.
The plays they presented while in
this city were of a -high character,
and it has been remarked by many
that it is the best show that has ever
exhibited here. The managers of
the show are high toned gentlemen,
and their actors and actresses won
the good wishes of all-who had the
pleasure of atf ;nding either of the
performances. Those Vfjtio did not
attend m issedtreat/
The work of Billie and May Owens
sketch artists, was of a high order,
and they were roundly applauded
each night. Billy always has some
thing funny to amuse the audience
with, and he made good at every
appearance. Billy made a • great hit
Tuesday night in his role of proper
ty man. Miss May Owens kept the
audience in good humor with her
catchy songs, and received a large
share ..of applause.
_ William Scott, premier ariel ar
tist, did some difficult feats on the
slack wire and trapese—in fact, his
acts alone oh Monday and Tuesday
nights wete worth the price of ad
mission. Mr.-Scott plays many dif
ficult parts - in each performance,
and has won an enviable reputation
as an actor.
Artie Silverlake, who is down on
the program as “a superior enter
tainer,” always makes a hit wher
ever he appears, and certainly lives
up to his title.
George Spruceby, renowned bari
tone always gives the audience a
great deal more than he promises
them, and as a comedian he is hard
to excel.
Miss Edith Silverlake. is justly
called the “Princess of Serpentine
Dancers.” The serpentine dance on
Wednesday evening, was a thing of
beauty, and has been highly compli
mented. Miss Silverltke also ap
peared in a number of comedies and
demonstrated her ability as an ac
tress on every occasion.
Miss Pearle Young, champion lady
buck and wing dancer, was a gener
al favorite with everybody and her
work was of a high class. The lov
ers of clog dancing were highly en
tertained.
The ISix Hollaway Brothers dis
pensed music between acts and kept
the audiences in good humor.
The crowd on Tuesday night was
even larger than Monday night. On
Wednesday night the enclemency of
the weather kept many away who
would otherwise have attended.
Notwithstanding the rainy weath
er Thursday evening, a fairly good
audience were present, and Gie dif
ferent plays presented were of a
iiigh order, especially the “luiiatic
asylum,” in which Billy Owens and
Miss Edith Silverlake did their parts
well/and Scott played the negro to
perfection. The “courting” of Bil
lie and May Owens was greatly en
joyed. Miss Edith Silverlake, in
the song, “Gee! but ain’t this alone-
some town,” caught the audiefice
and held it.
The concert Thursday night was
of a high order, and the jokes by
the “end men” were good. .The
dancing contest Ijy Misses Pearle
Young, Edith Silverlake and May
Owens was heartily applauded. Miss
Silverlakewipning the $5 which was
given by the management. -
The show left Friday morning for
Cooleemee, where - they appeared
Friday and Saturday nights before
iarge audiences. Theshow left Sun
day afternoon for Madison. We can
heartily recommend this show to
our sister towns, and assure them
that it is a high class attraction and
is composed of clever, high-toned
ladies and gentlemen^ Mocksville
will gladly welcome the Scott-Silver-
Iake shows at any time they see fit
to return.

A TREATICE DN HORSE COLLARS.
BOTH MEN AND HORSES WEAR COLLARS! The difference is
not only in size and character, but a man can select a fifo- a horse can’t.
Thereforetiieneeessityforgoodjudgment in buying the Genuine Kind.
A cheap, badly stuffed collar of inferior leather will not only harm a
horse’s skin, but break in important parts before it has been in use,
maybe a couple months. Our “AU Kip Team Collars,” “Wood.Faced”
never fail to give comfort to the horse, and double the money’s worth to
the farmer. We are always particular about the fit—that’s why we have
in stock so many sizes. Bring around your horses, large or small, and let
us take care of their collar and harness needs! Our stock of “Shape
made” harness in general, is now larger than ever before, and prices lower
and we most urgently invite your inspection of same. We.pay cash.for

SOME THINGS THAT WILL KEEP YOU GRINNING FOR A WEEK.
A Trade Secret.
I was sitting on a keg of nails in
a West Virginia mountain store,
says a writer, watching a native
dickering with the merchant over
a trade of a basket of eggs for a
calico dress. After some time a
bargain was closed, the native
walked out with the dress in a bun
dle under his arm and I followed
him.
“It isn’t any business of mine,”
I said, “ but I was watching that
trade and was surprised to see you
let the eggs go for the dress.’'
“What ler!” he asked in aston
ishment, as he mounted his horse.
“How many eggs did you have!”
“Basket full.”
* ‘How manp dozen!’ ’
“Dunno. Can’t count.
“That’s where you miss the ad
vantage of an education. With
knowledge you might have got two
dresses for those eggs.” —
“But I didn’t want two dresses,
mister,” he argued.
“Perhaps not, but that was no
reason why you should have paid
two prices for one. Themirchant
got the advantage-of you because
of his education. He knew what
he was about.”
He looked at me for a minute as
if he felt real sorry for me. Then
he grinned and pulled his horse
over close to me.
“I reckon,” he half whispered,
casting furtive glances toward the
store, “his edification ain’t so
much more’n mine ez you think it
is. He don’t know how many uv
them aigs is spiled, an’ I do,” and
he rode away before I could argue
further.—Chicago Ledger.

would be $25,000,000 a year in our

the profit to the cotton growers and
spinners of the country if our Eng

A Discomfiting Question.
“I don’t believe marriage helps
a woman. I don’t believe hus
bands and wives-get along well to-/
gether I think babies are a nuis
ance and married women slave,”
shouted a masculine-looking fem
inine lecturer, addressing a Buf
falo woman’s club, says the Times.
A very tiny woman in the- mid
dle of-the room rose and inquired:
“May I ask a question!”
“A hundred.”
Quite timidly the tiny woman
asked?
“Did you ever have a man whom
you respected come home at night
when you were all worn out, and,
tucking the children under one
arm, take you under the other, tell
you how through every bit of his
work he thought of and loved you
and yours, and then kiss every care
out of your mind!”
“No!” thundered the lecturer.^
“I thought not,” said the tiny
womanf and sat down. .. Somehow
the lecturer found it impossible to
go on satisfactorily after that.—
Mother’s Magazine
Doing Right.
It costs a country newspaper
money every time it takes a stand
on any question, says an exchange.
Almost any other citizen besides
a newspaper man can do so with
out injuring his business, because
he is not put on record. When a
newspaper publishes anything it’s
there in black and white- and no
way to get around it.
If the editor advocates improve
ments, the mossbacks go after him,
and sometimes stop their paper.
Ifhe opposes improvements, the pro
gressive sort get on his frame and
call him a black number. Ii he
boosts the churches the liberal ,ele
ment calls him crazy, and if he
doesn’t the church people say he’s
going to the devil. If he publishes:
local news, some sav it is all non
sense, and if he doesn’t he gets it
in the neck from those who look
for short items. If he publishes
politics the opposition gets into his
hair, and if he does not he is charg
ed with being afraid to stand out
for his opinion. If he condemns
mail order houses, there are some
people who ask him to attend to
his own business, as they have a
right to trade where they please.
If he publishes mail order ads,, the
home merchants go after his gore.
No country paper can come squarely
out without making enemies and
losing Bome money, and in the run
of a year or so will incur criticism
from nearly everybody.
But this should not be discourag
ing. The newspaper that under
takes to please everybody will
please nobody, and if it is honest
and sincere and thoughtful, the
public will respect it.—Ex.

No Need of, Suffering From Rheumatism
It is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheuinetism, as the pain can always-be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected .by applying Chamberlain’s Liniment. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. I t makes sleep and rest possible- Even in cases of long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
it affords. Do not be discouraged until you have given it a trial.... Many
sufferers have been surprised and de- Iighted with its pain-relieving qual
ities. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by

Late in the night he was awakened

For a Sprained Aakle,
As usually treatod, a sprained ankle will disable the injured person for a
month or more, but by applying Chamberlain’s Liniment and observing the
directions with each bottle faithfully, a cure may be affected in many cases
in less than one week’s time. This linimeht isa most remarkable prep

How to Construct and Use The
Split-Log Drag.
One of the latest publications is
sued by the office of public roads
of the United States department of
agriculture, treats of the split-log
drag, an implement which numer
ous experiments have conclusively
shown to be the greatest possible
boon to keep earth roads smooth
and passable. Because of its sim
plicity, its efficiency and its cheap
ness, both in construction and op
eration, it is destined to come more
and more into general use. Wifeli
the drag properly built and its use
well understood, the maintenance
of earth roads becomes a simple
and inexpensive matter.
At tbe present time there are
approximately 2,000,000 miles of
earth roads in the United States.
Some of the most important of
these roads will eventually be im
proved with stone, gravel and oth
er materials. Many others which
are equally important cannot be so
improved on account of lack of:
funds or suitable materials, while,
still others will not require such
treatment because of the light
traffic to which they are subjected.
For these reasons the majority of
our roads must be maintained as
earth roads for many years to come.
This muBt be done by inexpensive
methods and the split log drag will
be a powerful aid if economy is the
criterion demanded.' :
In the construction , of this im
plement care should be taken to
make it so light that one man can
lift it with ease, a light drag re
sponding more readily to various
methods of hitching than a heavy
one, as well as to the shifting of
the position of the position of' tbe
operator. The best material for a
split log drag is a dry red cedar
log, thongh red elm and walnut are
excellent, and box elder, soft ma
ple, or even willow .are superior to
oak, hickory of ash. The~ log
should be between seven 'and ten
eet long, and from ten to twelve
inches in diameter at the butt end.
It should be split carefully as near
the center as possible, and the
heaviest and best slab chosen lor
the front. In the front slab- fdur
inches from the end which!' is to
drag in the middle of the road,
bore a two-inch hole, which is to
receive a cross stake. At a dis-»
tanceof twenty-two inches from
tbe other end of the front slab, lo
cate the center for another cross
stake. The hole "for the middle
stake will be' on a'line connecting'
and half-way between the two.
Thenplirce theback Blab in posit
ion and from the end which is to
drag in the middle -of the road
measure twenty inches for the cen
ter of one cross stake ahd six inch
es from the other end locate the
center of the opposite stake. The
hole for the center stake should be
located half way between the two.
All these holes should be carefully
bored-perpendicular or at right
angles to the face nf the split log.
If these directions are followed,
it will be found that when the
holes of the front and back slabs
are brought oppbsite each other,
one end ot the back slab will he
sixteen -iuches nearer the center of
the roadway than the front one.
That gives what is known as “.set
back;” The stakes,w hich are
thirty inches-long;-, will- bold -.- the
slabs this distance' apart; - When
the stakeB have been firmly wedged
into their sockets, a brace about
two inches thick and - four inches
wide may be placen diagonally to
them at the ditch end of the drag.
A eleatedi board is placed between
the slabs and across the stakes for
the drivei to stand on /
By-mamy it is deeuit-d P b> st to
p act- i Bi up ,.f iron along m e !<•'
Sr lave m >. c fi ju i suit Ioi a uil
from wearing. The drag may be
fastened to the double-tree by
meant, of a trace chain. Thecbain
should be wrapped around the left
hand or rear stake and passed over
the front slab. Raising the chaiu
at this eud of the slab permits the
earth to drift past the face of the
drag. The other end of the chain
should be passed through a bole iu
the opposite end of the front slab
and held by a piu passed through”
a link. . .
For ordinary purposes, the bitch
should be so made that 'the un
loaded drag will follow the team
at an angle of about 45 degrees.
The team should be driven with
one horse on either side of the
right hand wbeel track, or rut, the
full length of the portion to be
dragged, and made to return in
the. same manner over the other
half of the roadway. Such treat
ment will move the earth toward
the center of the roadway and raise
it gradually above the surround
ing level.
The best results have been ob
tained by dragging roads once
each way after each heavy rain.
In some cases, however, one drag
ging every three or four weeks has
been found sufficient to keep a road
ii good condition.
When the soil is moist, but not
sticky. the drag does its best work.
A sth esoilin afield wi I bake if
ploughed wet, so the road will
bake if the drag is used on it when
it is wet. If the roadway is full
of holes, or badly rutted, the drag
should be used once when the
ground is soft and slushy. This is
particularly applicable before a
cold Bpell in winter, when it is
possible to so prepare the surface
that it will freeze smooth.
Notinfrequently conditions are
met which may be overcome by a
slight change in the manner of
hitcning. Shortening the chain
tends-to lift the front slab and
make the cutting slight, while a
longer hitch causes the front slab
to sink more deeply into the earth
and act. on the principle of a plow,
Ifa furrow of earth is to be
moved ; the doubletree should be
attached close to the ditch end of
the drag, and the driver should
stand with one foo*t on the extreme
forward end of tbe front slab.
Conditions are so varied in dif
ferent localities, however, that it is
quite impossible to lay down - spe
cific rules. Certain sections of a
roadway will reqnire more . atten
tion than others because of steep
, wet weather springs, soil
conditions, exposure to sun and
wind, washes, etc. There is one
condition, however, in which spec
ial attention should be given. Clay
roads under persistent draggings
frequently btcome too high in the
center. Ihism aybecorrectedby
dragging the earth towards the
center of the road twice, and away
from it once.,
Thereis no qnestiou as tc the
economy of this road- making im
plement, either in first co«t or in
Operation. In six counties in Kan
sas in -1906 the cost of maintaining
ordinary earth roads, without the
aid of the split log drag, averaged
$42.20 a mile. These figures were
furnished by Prof. W. C. Hoadj of■ Vthe University of Kansas, who se
cured them from official records of
the counties.
■ Some figures furnished by F. P.
Sanborn and K. H. Aishton, gen-,
eral manager of the Chicago and
Northwestern rai lroad, have re
vealed the wonders of this simple
device. Mr. Sanborn said “the
least expense per mile per annum
Tor split log dragging' .was $1.50,
the greatest a little over $6 , and
the average expense per mile for
five and a half miles a little over
$3. I have lived along this road
all rnj JIle, and nevei in ioiiy
JniM I reen it fieei from m id✓ V
the extremes of weather condit
ions.”
The testimony of Mr. Aishton is
equally strong. Learning that a
township in Iowa had been mak
ihg an investigation of the split-
Iog drag and had bpen experiment
ing with it for a year on twenty-
eight miles of highway, he sent an
airent to secure information. It
was reported that although the
town board had paid the cost of
making the dr- gs and of hiring
men to operate tnem, the total ex
pense for one year averaged but
$2.40 a mile, and the roads were
reported to have been “ like a race
track” the greater portion of the
year —Industrial News.
Seems to us that it would be a
good idea for the people of Davie
county to get together and give
this a trial, for if there are any
worse roads to be found in North
Carolina than those of this county,
we have failed to locate them.
Oiir Wealth, .
When we remember that the
American farmer-earns enough in
seventeen days to buy out Stand
ard oil, and enough fn fifty days to
wipe Carnegie and the steel trust
off the industrial map, the story of
the trusts seems like “ the short
and simple annals of > the poor.”'
One American harvest would buy
the kingdom of Belgium, Kingand
ali; two would buy Italy; three
would buy Austria-Hungary, and
five at a spot-cash price, would
take Russia from the Czar. Talk
of s wollen fortune! With the set
ting of every sun the money box
of the American farmer bulges
with the weight of twenty-four
new millions. Only the most ath
letic imagination can conieive of
such a torrent of wealth. Place
your finger on the pulse x>f your
wrist and count the- heartbeats—-
One, two, three, four. With eveiy
four of tbose quick throbs, day
and night, a thousand dollars clat
ters into the gold bin of the Amer
ican farmer.—Beview of Reviews.
- Hon. D. M. Furches.
Statesville Landmark.
The death of . Judge Furches re
moves from the walks of men one
of the oldest residents of Statesville
and a conspicuous figure at the bar
and in the public life of this section
of the State for more than a gener
ation. Of French descent, he was
born the son of a farmer, in Davie
county, April 21,'1832, being 76
years old April- 21st last. He
studied law under the date Chief
Justice Pearson at Bichmond Hill,
Yadkin county. In January, 1858,
he was licensed to practice law and
in February following he was elect
ed solicitor of the county court of
Davie county, holding the office
un til 1866, He was also for a time,
during the same period, solicitor of
the cbunty court of Yadkin. He
represented Davie county in the
constitutional convention of 1866
and in September of that year he
moved to Statesville, where he
iived until bis death.
Before the war Judge Furches
was a Whig in politics and after
the war he became a Republican.
In 1872 he was his party’s candi
date for Congress in the old seventh
congressional district, embracing
Iredell, his successful opponent be
ing the late Hon. W. M. Bobbins.
In August, 1875, Gov. Brogden ap
pointed him judge of the Superior
Court to succeed Judge Anderson
Mitchell, of Statesville,-resigned.
He held the office for three years,
retiring in 1S78. In 1880 be was
again the Republican candidate for
Congress, being defeated by the
late Hbn. R. F. Armfield. In 1882
he was the Republican nominee for Court of Claims, which means that
the Legislature, in 1886 the nomi- it will be paid to the Gray estate if
Party is Disfranchised.
Som easkifthe Populists would
run a ticket. No. As a party, the
amendment and election IaW dis
franchised them. Not only this,
but a Democrat can’t run as an in
dependent candidate. If he should
be elected, he could be deprived’of
his office by the laws referred to
above. If this is not true, then the
laws as enacted mean nothing. It
was all doue to get rid of fusion be
tween Republicans and Populists,
and independent action, on the part
of dissatisfied Democrats. You must
be a Democrat or Republican one,
and you must be nominated accord
ing to the party plan or you can’t
run and be elected legally under the
law of the State.—Times-Mercury,
Railing Out on Mr. Bryan.
Charlotte Observer.
It seems that the firing on Mr..
Bryan from the compulsory water
wagon has begun. The Chattanoo.
ga Times makes these observations;
Mr. Bryan is now classed with the
‘hums, the toughs and the saloomsts’
by the prohibitionist propagandists,
The National Prohibitionist, the or
gan of the party-, which is taking
such an active part in Tennessee pol
itics, says of Mr. Jjryan: Mr, Bry
an's views are of interest to us sim
ply because they hne him up square
ly against prohibition and therefore
simplify the honest citizen’s duty m
voting. Now will Mr. Bryan be
good or will he continue to fly de
fiance by remaining steadfastly a.r
mong the ‘Morally Stunted?’ ”
What sland will the prohibition
delegates from this . State to the
Denver convention take? No furth

Good Advice. .
It is getting high time that the
Republicans begin to select their
candidates. If they run a good
ticket and-all unite on it, they can
elect it, jf they will thoroughly or
ganize and’make a canvass with the
Democrats in the county. De it,
and let,s have some fun.—Hickory
Times-Mercury.
Seems to us that it’s about time
Davie Republicans would wake up
and look about them. Of course our
Democratic brethren dofi’t stand as
much chance of electing their county
ticket as Pat stood in the army, but
nevertheless it is time to look about
us and select the best men for the
various offices. There are many
good-men in this county whom we
would be glad to hear from along
this line. Gentlemen, our .,columns
are open to you for any suggestions
you may wish to make. We are al
ways glad to devote our space to
any one who has the advancement of
the grand old party at heart. Let
us make an honest, open fight this
fall, and when the votes are counted
in November, the good old county
of Davie will have a Republican ma
jority larger than ever before.
The Claun of The Gray Estate.
The Charlotte Observer of Sunday
had the following from its Wash
ington correspondent:
.“A claim filed by the late J., W.
Gray, of Statesville, for $250,000 for
a cotton mill burned by the Federal
army during the closing days*of the
civil war, has been referred to' the
nee for Superior Court judge, in
1888 the nominee for .Associate
justice of the SuprCine Court and
in 1892 the nominee for Governor,
being defeated with his party at
each election.
In 1894 a fusion of Populists and
Republicans carried the State
against the Democrats and Judge
Furches was elected Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, January
6 , 1902, Gov. Russell appointed
Judge Furches Chief Justice of the
court to succeed Judge Faircloth,
deceased. In February following
impeachment proceedings were
brought iu the Legislature against
JudgeFurches and Associate Jus
tice Douglass, but after a trial last
ing several weeks they were ac
quitted by the State Senate sitting
as a court- of impeachment. The
proceedings were based oh a decis
ion rendered by the Supreme Court.
When Judge Furches’ eight-year
term as a membea of the court ex
pired in'1902 'he returned to his
home in Statesville and resumed
the practice, of law. In recent
years he appeared little in the
courts but devoted himself to his
office practice up to his last illness
’While never distinguished as an
advocate, Judge Furches was a law
yer of ability. He was a wise and
safe counsellor, industrious and
painstaking, honest and straight
forward in all bis business relations.
For many years he enjoyed a large
and lucrative law practice in the
courts of Iredell and surrounding
couuties and stood high m his pro
fession. While often a candidate
he was not an office-seeker.
the loyalty of the claimant can be
establised, which! it is said there will
be no difficulty in doing.
This claim has been pending along
time. Mr. Gray so long, known
a Statesville hotel man, spent a win
ter in Washington prior to his death
lookingafterthe claim. The prop
erty destroyed was located at Eagle
Mills and was burned by Stoneman’s
men when the army passed through
here in April, 1865
A government official will come to
Iredell this fall to take testimony in
regard to the case. The matter is
by no means settled but the friends
of the parties interested nope they
will win in the end.—Landmark.
The Truth.
The Hickory Times-Mercury tells
the truth a great many times—more
times than many other papers, and
Editor Click hits the- nail on the
head, when he truthfully says:
“The Democrats will find rt hard
er to olect their candidate-for Gov
ernor than it is to nominate him—
unless they use the machine.

Salisbury Business Changes.
Salisbury, Jnfie 6 .—Because of
the following notice received by
the occupants of the different houses
owned by Mr. D. L. Arey, four of
Salisbury’s most prominent busi
ness firm3 will either sell out or
move this month:
“Salisbftry, N. 0. May30,1908.
“Dear Sir:—Owing to the Iact
that Aorth Carolina was carried
for prohibition, I aim loser to the
SUm total amount of from $40,000
to $60,000. Be ides it has had the
effect of forcing the D. L. Arey
Distilling Company to secure a lo
cation in some other State at an
enormous putlay, and as I see the
situatiou, taxes in Salisbury will
be increased to excessive propor
tions. Taking all -these things into
consideration, I findthatbeginning
with July 1st, I will have to in
crease my rents so as to be able to
meet - those heavy obligations.
Therefore you are hereby advised
that yours will be raised to per
month. Very respectfully, ^
“ D. Li A bey.”
The Smoot Bros, and Rogers
CompaKy occupying one ot the
stores in the Washington Building
will close out their entire stock at

Mr. A . W. Winecoff, occupying
a store room in the same block, is
> preparing to sell out before '
the close of the present month. Mr.
Winecoff has conducted a large dry
goods business- in Salisbury for
about twelve years and has always
received a liberal patrcinang.
The Simpson • Peacock Grocery
Company, at present located in the
Bell Block, is preparing to move
to the stand on Council street for

gy and Wagon Company.
The Salisbu ry' Drug Company
will, in a few days, move from its
present stand, 115 Noith Main St.,
to the Empire Bloqk on South Main
street.
The Brown-Palmer ClothingCo.,
successors to the Brown Clothing
Company, the oldest exclusive
clothing firm in Salisbury, decided
at a meeting of tbe stockholders on
the 1st of June to retire from-busi
ness. This company is made up
of some of Salisbury’s leading bus
iness men, and has always received,
a large share of the clothing busi
ness of this section.
Although red letter closing out
advertisements are prominently dsi-
played on Salisbury’s main streets,
it is interesting to note that not a
single store has taken this course
becauge of financial embarrasment.
Let the Law be Enforced.
The State has voted prohibition.
We have the law, now let’s have the
enforcement. If our city, county
and State, officers do their sworn
duty, there will soon be no block-
aders and blind tigers. It is impos
sible for these things to exist as
they have, if the local officers do
their duty. They have waited on
the Federal officers. No excuse for
that any more Any officer who
fails to do his duty, should have that
duty taken from him. If he tries
and has not got the tact to catch
them, then he should come down
and out. Now let the people help
the officers and see that the law is
enforced. Now altogether and give
the people what they voted for.—

Mayor MdGlamery Denies..
“HEDID AND HE DIDN’T. .
Mr. A. M. McGlanieryi: Mayor; of
Mocksville, objects to the article"ap-
pearing in the last issue of The Re
cord, signed by “Citizen,” in which
it was asserted that the Mayor re
fused or declined to issue a warrant
for the arrest of W. Y. Willson, for
an open, notorious and oft-repeated
violation of the town ordinances.
The article was based upon informa
tion received through J. A. Current,
policeman, and another reputable
business man who informed “Citi
zen” that he made application to the
Mayor for-the warrant Thursday
evening when the disturbance of
the peace and good order of the
town was being interferred with, by
Willson, in an open, notorious and
boistefous manner, and that the
Mayor refused to issue the warrant.
Mr. McGlamery says this is not true;
that he did not decline to issue the
warrant Thursday evening and the
party or parties who gave “Citizen”
the information were making false
statements, and should not be re
lied upon. The Mayor has also pro
cured a written statement from J.
A. Current, town policeman, that he,
the Mayor, never declined to issue
the warrant on Thursday evening.
The above is written in justice to
the Mayor.
New “Citizen” has this further
ty say about the matter. There was
on the streets of Mocksville Thurs
day .evening, June 4th, a man drunk,
boisterous, extremely disorderly and
disagreeable. Heparaded the pub
lic square for four or five hours in
pla>n view of the Mayor’s office, in
company at tinies with the police
man, who saw both his condition
and conduct, and heard his cursing
and knew exactly what was ,going
"on. The Mayor, McGlamery, and
the policeman,’ Current, had a con
versation and consulted about Ihe
disgraceful situation, in plain view
of all the citizens around the !public
square, and no warrant was then is
sued nor arrest made. Not only
that but both the Mayor and police
man went to their respective homes,
and left this man in his drunken,
disorderly, boisterous condition on
the streets, and an outraged cisizen
ship taxed to pay the salaries of
this braise of back-bone-less alleged
guardians of the peace and good or
der of Mocksville, to take care of
itself. Thereisnota single right-
thinking, law-abiding, order-loving
man, woman of child in the town of
Mocksville who will or can defend
the action of either the mayor or
policeman relative to this affair.
Their conduct calls for the severest
censure, condemnation and rebuke.
The policeman, Current, having
made the statement and signed it,
that the mayor did not decline to
issue the warrant, now let him swear
to it, and then let the mayor file
this with the Board of Town Com
missioners, with a recommendation
that they select some man who will
arrest offenders- • against our ordi
nances committed in his presence.
In the former article “ Citizen” was
not inclined to critisize the police
man, because of his statement that
the mayor refused to give the war
rant, but since he has signed the
Statement given the mayor, retract
ing his former assertions about the
failure to arrest, “ Citizen” thinks
that"he should hand in his resigna
tion* and upon his failure to do Sot
the Jawii board should ask for it.
To sum up, the situation was this:
Aman on our public streets, drunk
and doing many things to raise a
“rough house.” The mayor and po-
liceman-both present seeing and
hearing it all ,-talking together about
it; both leaving him in this, drukken
orgie and going to their homes with-
'OUt in any visible manner attempt
ing to restore order and quiot, but
leavinglaw-abiding people taxed to
support a town government, to hear
his curses, take his drunken.Jbuse
or have a persopal encounter. If
the mayor or policeman can by 'any
mental process persuade themselves
that they did their official duty or
the duty they, owed to those who:
pay their salaries or the- duty im
posed upon them by law. Then all
we have to say is, that both are to
tally ignorant of the law; and abso
lutely unfit:for-.the positions they
hold. - Citizen.
Two Bad Wrecks.
There were two freight wrecks
on this division of the Southern
within the-past weedsr One was
at Bixby on Friday where two eoal
cars jumped the track and were
Bmashed up-, The- other wreck oe-,
cucred just south of the Mockayflle
trestle-, Saturday about12;30 p. m :
Fivepars jumped" the track, and
four’ were Moiost completely demol
ished, One car was loaded with
corn, one with coal, and two witn
terracotta tiling. The only person
hurt was the conductor, who sus
tained a slight cut in the head, and
and hkinned arm. The track was
torn up for about fifty j aids. The
one o’clock north-honnd passenger
train transferred and made the re
turn trip .to Charlotte The 7:54

at the wreck. - The trabk was not

for either of the wrecks.. it is tor

No Need of Suffering From RheumatUm.
It is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from.rheumetism, as the pain can always be relieved, and in most
cases: a cure effecied by., applying
Ghamberiain’s Liniment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost: It makes
sleep: and rest possible.;. Even in cases of long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
. affords. Do not be discouraged until you have given it a trial. Many
sufferers have, been surprised and delighted with its pain-relieving qual
ities. .25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by

A TREAT1CE ON HORSE COLLARS.
BOTH MEN AND HORSES WEAR COLLARS! - The . difference is
not only in size and character, but a man can select a fit—a. horse can’t.
Therefore the necessity for good-judgment in buying the Genuine Kind.
A cheap; badly stuffed collar of inferior leather-will not only harm a
horse’s skin, but break in important parts before it has been in use,
maybe a couple months. Our "All Kip Team Collars,’’ ‘‘Wood Faced’’
never fail to give comfort to the horse, and double the money’s worth to
the farmer. We are always particular about the fit—1Ihafs why we have

Over in Abany, TexaB, lives
Dick McCarty, an original news
paper man of the old Bchool He
prints the following creed upon his
business card, and we would that,
it were adopted by every editor in
this broad laml:
“Over in Shackleford county, in
the city of Albany, there’s a little
printshop, where public never
comes except they want to work
the editor. It’s only a little two-
by-four county sheet. Each week
it’schuck full of g.ammatical errors
and you can walk out of its circa
lation in two hours—butthank God
it’s the exponent of but one man.
Over it’s humble doorway hangs
the horgeshoe of good luck, framed
with pictures of poverty. In its
sanctum are only three gods to
whom its editor pays his vows
The Supreme Architect of the Uni-:
verse, our wife and our conscience
—with a little golden-haired tot
thrown in; wliich gives strength' to
muscles.and inspiration to brains
It’s editor is lank, lean, red-headed
and ignorant, and: at times so thinly
dad that he has to turn his back
to the wall when he bows to the
ladies. He dines on a plain pine
table. Public patronage has with
held from his fragile table sweet
meats and tempting viands—but
thanks to God and his conscience,
he don’t have .to wash down his
bacon and beans with the slop of
public opinion; and it ain’t pep
pered and salted with public policy
and political graft. We ain’t got
no black pants, white vest, scissor-
tailed coat or beegnm hat, our wife
just can’t learn as to eat pie with
a fork—and to save our life we
jnst can’t sjt down in a parlor with
a lot of wingless butterflies and
brainless dudes and act silly and
talk like a daFii ioo^ therelfore,
polite society has slammed its door
in our face. We are not the daddy
of the King’s English, and we
haven't got a big stock of honeyed
words; we don’t wear the sham
smile of a saint, or parade up and
down the earth arrayed in the robe
of righteousness, and we do not pat
the public on the back to make it
love us, and what we say or think
in the closet we pen it on paper,
shout it from the house-tops. The
upper croBt turns up their nose at
oiiir plain English and says we are
not cultured, but we are not here
to tickle the fancy ot fools or make
music for monkeys, but we are
here to speak our sentiments and
apeak the truth, tho’ it slay the
multitude, and pulls down society’s
totterii g temple. We are not a
strict sectarian or doctrinaire, but
we believe every word of the sacred
ges of the Holy Bible from
Genesis to Revelations, and we are
going to stand by it and live by it
until God or somebody else writes
a better one. W ecarenothingfor
the dogmas and creeds of the
churches, and our plain spoken
English and code of morals may
not suit the preacher—but ’tain't
none of -nobody’s business; we’ll
settle our account with God. .And
tho we have to walk up and down
the earth in a suit of sunburr, and
dine on the crust of hope—we will
never cringe under the dainty lash,
nor bow to the god of good, or suck
the dainty nipples of dame fashion
—but we will look up at the hill
tops and let our eyes rest upon the
eternal star of truth—and tho we
may be barefooted, and the road
may be rough, long and lonesome,
and tho there may not be any free
luncn counters or cushioned seats
along our pathway of duty, yet by
the graceof God and if our stock
of grit holds out, we will place onr
banner upon the crest of that beau
tiful star. And when our work
on earth is done, we will lay our
red head down on the bosom of
God and telephone the angles to
bring over the old ship of Zion,
and we will sail to the paradise ol
God amid the sound of trumpets
and then we will don the spotless
white robe, and St*. Peter will fetch
us our jeweled crown and golden
wings, and we will fly up and down
the golden streets of the Kew Jetu-
salem and toot our golden trumpet
for Shackleford county forever and
ever,”

. A Toast to Gentlemen.
The following toast to gentlemen
is handed in by a lady contributor
Bless ’em! They jjalve our joys,
they double onr sorrows, they,
treble onr expenses, Uiey qnadruple
our cares, they exeide our mag
nanimity, they increase our self-
respect, waken our enthusiast,
arouse our affections, control our
property, and outuianever us in
everything. This worldis a dreary
world without them. In fact, I
mjiy say without prospect of suc
cessful contradiction, that Without
them this wouldn’t be much of a
world anyhow. . We love them,
and the dear things can’t help it;
we control them and the precious
fellows don’t know it. A s huobands
they are convenient though not
always on hand; as beaux they are
by no means ^matchless;” They
are most agreeable, as visitors,
Kandyrat state'fairs, and indispen-
sible at oyster saloons. They are
splendid as escorts for come other
fellow’s «ife or sister, and as friends
they are better than women. As
our fathers, they are inexpressibly
grand; A man may be a failure
in business, a wreck in constitution
not enough to boast of as beuucy,
nothing as a wit, less than nothing

overlook his short-comings and
cover his peccadilloes with the di

rade them as paragons! In tlie
sublime language of the poet :
We’ll lie for ’em, . •
We’ll cay for ’em
And if we could we’ fly for ’em.
We’d anything but die for ’em.
A Logical SenteQcgv:
a lawyer defending aman ac
cused of housebreaking said; —
“Your hono, I submit that my
client did hot break into the houoe
at all. He found the parlor win
dow open and merely inserted his
right arm and removed a few
trifling articles. Now, my client’s
arm is not himself, and I fail 4o
Bee how you can punish the whole
individual for an offense committed
only by one of his limbs.”
,“That argument,” said the judge
is very well put, following it logi
cally I sentence the defendant’s
arm to one year’s imprisonment.
He can accompany it or not, as he
chooses.” . ■
The defendant, with his lawyer’s
assistance, unscrewed his cork arm
and leaving it in the dock, walked
out.—Ex.
W ewantto again request those
who are behind on their subscrip
tions to be very careful about pay
ing up. We are very easily excited
and our hall starved condition makes
it rather dangerous. We would con
sider it. a great favor if our friends
would send us word a day or two in
advance of the time they mean to
call, thereby giving us time to get
our shatteaed faculties together.
Has $6 Worthof Hogs, $100 Worth
of Dogs.
A citizen of Concord township, in
listing his taxes liast week, returned
three pigs at $2 each and live dogs
at $20 each—$6 worth of hogs and
$100 worth of dogs. While the dif
ference in the number and value of
pigs may be contrasted with the
number and value of dogs unfavor
ably to the citizen aforesaid; he
should possibly be given credit for
listing the dogs for taxation, some
thing that is rarely done. Itshould
be said, however, that the purpose
in listing them was not so much
desire to pay taxes on the canines as
to secure for them the protection of
the law. The courts have held that
a dog is not property unless it is
listed for taxation. If it is listed
the owner can prosecute any one
who may do it hurt.—Landmark.

RAILWAYS UNITE COUNTRY.
They Knit North and SouA To
gether After Civil War.
Leslie’s Weekly.
The Soathern railways, more
than brotherhood, knitted the
ISorth and South together after
the war. The railways gave pros
perity to the Soath by encourag
ing immigration and bringing in
people to help do the npbailding.
Memphis twenty years ago had a
population of 64,000. Today it has
102,000. The railways did it. A.
few years ago hundreds of places
in Louisiana, like Crowley, for ex
ample, were only prairie land.
The Southern Pacific built a ata
tion at Crowley, and today that
place boasts of 7,000 persons. Oth
er railroads did the same thing for
a hundred other thriving places in
the Southern States. The South
ern Railway went into the waste
places of the South and caused
town* to spring up. TheSeaboard
Air Line went into a country of
blasted hopes, and built up new
industries, and with them new
courage. To a reign of penury the
Atlantic Coast Line brought plen
ty—by putting cash into circula
tion where no cash had been be
fore, The Southern Railway gave
the exact service necessary for the
healthy development of the States
through which it runs. It not on
ly created new industries but itself
became the chief customer for the
products of the new mills.
TheSouth needed $200,000,000
for farther immediate development.
The Southern railways were tec r-
iug Iiiat vast investment-of North-,
era capita) along their lines—when
tbe noreasoning agitation against
all railroads set in and. temporar
ily at least, baited the Southward
movement of money. One hund
red and six new rail way enterpris
es were under way in the South
when the politicians began " using
the Southern railways as footballs.
Thoaenew roads were to be for
the development of timber and
mining regions and to handle “long
hauls” in Texas and Oklahoma.
The promoters of the enterprises'
have, tor the moment'beeu lriglit-
ened away. They will get hack on
the job as soou. as a certain brand
of politiciau is relegated to obliv

There Is No Democratic Party.
Former Senator and former Go-T
ernor David B. Hill, ol New York,
who has not been active in politics
for several years, handed out the
following warm interview just be
fore he sailed for Europe last Thurs
day:'
“There is no Democratic party.
When I met the late GovernorAlt
geld in a little room ap a ba ;k
stairs in a Chicago hotel shortly be
fore the first so called Bryan con
vection, I told him that the politics
which he represented would drive
the Democratic party to hell. Then
when he begged for another try
four years later, I said: ‘You are
most there; stop before you have
absolutely ruined tjie party.’ But
Bryan was nominated, as I saw the
futility of a minority report with
only ten votes to back me.
“I admit that the Republican
party is badly disorganized at the
present time. Both parties are
disorganized. There was an op
portunity, but I fear that it has
been overlooked.
“The key of this political cam
paign should be ‘Taft, the candi
date of political patronage.’ What
else is hel He is put before the
people as a candidate by the ‘power
of political patronage.’ Nothing
else.
“Now both sides in the coming
political struggle will have to go to
the masses for their votes. They
must draw from the masses, and
what better man could stand against
the candidate representing the
‘power of patronage,’ than John
Johnson, who spent his boyhood
days in a county poor house? Think
of it! i'orchlight-processions with
banners reading ‘John Johnson,
the Poor-House Candidate.’ And
from what I Have been able to learn
Mr. Jobnson is more than a mere
near to the-people candidate; he is
a well balanced man and an able
man.
“ Every lime Bryan says ‘I keep
the faith,’ it makes me emile. He
has kept the faith, indeed! Hekept

that gave practical aid in the con:

The Worm tias Tnrned—Railroad
Brings Suit For Damages.
A form ol the damage suit indus
try little known where the stock
law prevails, is quite an item where
stdclt can get on a railroad track,
especially about the time a train is
coming along. A cow or steer that
would hardly bring $10 in open
market is worth at least $100 alter
it is killed by a train.
In South Carolina the Seaboard
Air Line railroad has suffered from
that sort of thing until patience is
exhausted and the worm has turned.
The division counsel at Columbia
has brought suit in the Circuit
Conrt of Lexington county, S. C.,
against Sanders Meetz, a farmer of
that county. With great solemnity,
dignity and impressive phrasing,
the complaint states that on the
13th of last April, near the Btation
ot Leaphardt, a certain bull, which
the plaintili is informed and be
lieves is the property of Mr. Meetz,
did stand on the track in front of a
Seaboard passenger train, moving
at a high, though not above sched
ule rate of speed, and in spite of
whistle blowing and other means
of warning required by law repeat
edly made, wantonly, willfully and
wickedly failed, refused and neg
lected to get off the tracks, to the
great danger to the safety and
lives of the crew and passengers of
said train and damage of its engine
and care—$500 worth.
Mr. Meetz has replied with a suit
iu a magistrate’s court-against the
road to recover $95 from the road
for the killing of the bnll. And
the end is not yet.—Ex.

Called to Order in the Pres*. r .
ence of Over 14,000 People.
Chicago, June 16,—Amid scenes of
stirring enthusiasm the Republican
national convention of 1908 began
its deliberations at noon today in the
presence of an assemblage estimated
at upwards of 14,000 people, with
the sounds of patriotic airs alternat
ing with the frenzied shouts for
Roosevelt, Taft and other popular
heroes, the first tocsin of the coming
struggle from the graceful orator of
Michigan, Senator Julius Caesar Bur
rows, and the initial formalities
which started this momentous gath
ering into meeting.
The opening session lasted less than
two hours and was less notable for
the business accomplished than for
the opportunity it afforded of seeing
again this stirring picture of the peo
ple assembled from every corner of
the country to select a candidate for
President of the United States. The
actual work of the day was quickly
accomplished and tonight the various
important committees on credentials,
platform, organization, etc., are pre
paring for the more' important busi
ness to come. ■ <
Earlp in the day all roads in Chica
go turned toward the huge pile known
as the Coliseum, with its back toward.
Lake Michigan and its gothic turrets
fronting a rather shabby section of
the city.. Here centered the conven
tion throngs^-State delegations, sin
gly and in groups, some with march
ing clubs and bands, and banners for
their favorites, the Ohio delegation
with a huge blue silk standard bear
ing the portrait of Secretary Taft.
At front and rear the great building
was beseiged by steady ,streams of
humanity, until at noon almost every
seat in the structure was occupied
and great crowds stood outside to
catch the echoes from within.
Thescenewhen the vast assem
blage was called to order, was one of
impressive dignity, of animation and
of. color. In the central arena sat
the delegations, almost 1,000 strong
and back or them their alternates,
another thousand in number with
the standards of the States rising
here and there above the turbulent
sea of heads. The points of vantage,
immediately in front, were held by
Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Indi
ana and Wisconsin, each having a
candidate, while further back rank
after rank, were ranged and other
States and Territories, Hawaii, Por
to Rico, the Philippines and Alaska
appropriately forming the outlaying
fringe of the official delegation. A-
round this central mass of delegates
and alternates swept the long lines
Of spectators, in rising tiers and in
solid masses, men and women, the
latter in gay hued summer gowns
and with fluttering fans arid waving
handkerchiefs. Higher up another
gallery made the entire circuit of
the vast enclosure. Abovethfe ever-
moving, kaleidoscopic scene, bent
the huge semi-circular roof, its steel
girders looped with bunting and a-
blaze with electric devices, while on
every side the national colors were
woven into sunbursts, shields, and
patriotic symbols. In front of the
delegates stretched the mammoth
platform, two hundred feet square,

call of States to begin for the vote
on President. . Such a call, under
such circumstances, has probably
never before occurred in the history
of national conventions. A ballot
was taken to nominate a candidate
a candidate for President while the
convention was frantically cheering
for a man whose name had not been
presented to the convention. The
votes were being counted for Taft
while the people were shouting for
Roosevelt.

Thenational Republican conven
tion concluded with the nomination
of James S. Sherman, of New York,
for Vice-President. The enormous
throngs had waited through an hour
of oratory', sweltering in the heat
laden atmosphere, with only here
and there a few vacant spots in the
remote galleries—the delegates in
the broad arena below, the bright-
hued lines of feminity in the encir
cling galleries and over all the en-
velopiug folds of "Old Glory.” It
was distinctly a Sherman crowd,
with galleries already trained into
the choruses of Sherman songs. _

wSpeaIuiig of Love.”
Speafcin’ of Love,” said Mr. San
ders, although no one had spoken of
it—not even the pretty young steno
grapher, who scorns to deny that
she knows something of the feeling,
and who is always ready, if approach
ed in the right spirit, to show
cherished photograph of a very
young man with his hair parted
the middle and plastered dbwn on
Pflfh side—“why in the Nation does
it come on in spring? Asn't it jest
as good for cold weather? Does the
fust frost kill it? An* ef so, why
don’t somebody patent a flannel-
lined box that’ll keep it whilst the
big freezes is a-gwine on? That1
what pesters me. Ef it’s the most
precious thing that the world knows
anything about, why don’t we have
speshually contrived hot-houses for
it, so’s we kin take it out on pleas
ant days on’ see ef it’s swivelled or
swunk sense the last time we han-
pled it. I ain’t speakin’ for myself,
the Lord knows! I’ve seed an he&m
too much endurin’ the last fifty
years or so, to be bothered much.
It’s the youngsters I’m thinkin’ of;
I want ’em for to feel good when
the sap ain’t arisin’ in the sweet-
gum trees; I want to see ’em settin’
-in front of a big- hickory-wood fire,
roasting taters, parchin’ goobers,
an’ holdin’ hands when the old folks
is looking t’other way. Accordin
to-my way of thinkin’, winter is the
time for reel true love. Anythihg
that can’t stand frost an' a freeze
or two is a mighty puny weed. May
be that’s the reason thar’s so many
grass-widders in the country—an’
then ag’in maybe not. You never
can tell what kinder chicken is gwine
for to be hatched from the egg that
is found in the hay loft.”—Joel
Chandler Harris in Uncle Remus
Magazine.
THIS RAG OF FREEDOM.
This bloody flag of freedom, some
times known as The Hornet, stands
for the poor man first, last and all
the time. Away with ye aristocrats,
dudes, and money-changers. Wedo
not need you in our business. When
you die, you are as dead as the poor
est man that ever walked the earth.
Your gold and diamonds, stock and
lands will remain here when you are
gone, and they will not cool your
parched tongue. This sheet has no
objection to a rich man, provided he
is not a miser, and wilTkeep his cash
out of sight. It is a sin and a shame
to taunt us poor dogs with the good
things of this world—us fellows who
have not enough cash to buy a back
door hand-out. Butye editor does
not need money—perish the thought
at once. He lives on gas,, buys .his
clothes on credit and skips his. house
rent. Hegoeth forthin the morn
ing half-starved and cometh bad
starved. Heisbeseigedonall side-
by bill-collectors and his dreams art
troubled by visions of the poor
house. His creditors roll around or
thastreets in luxury and blow in
their cash on cold drinks, bug juice
and ham and eggs, and are too poor
to pay the editor 75 cents on back•wi
subscription. Whenarichman de
parts this life, the editors give him
a column send-off. When a poor
man dies the newspapers give him
three lines. And when a society
belle marries, the editor devotes his
valuable space to an elaborate and
long-winded article, describing each
and every article worn on the event
ful day, and setting forth the many
charming personalities of the lovely
bride, when probably she is as ugly
as a mud fence. But suppose the
bride is a farmers’ daughter, and
the groom a poor man, you will sec
; something like this -in your paper:
“John Smith and Jane Jones were
married last week.” The length of
the article depends on the amount
of cash the couple is worth. Thank
the Lord, The Hornet quill-driver is
not of this calibre. The poor boy or
girl, man or woman, gets just as big
a write-up as the richest person that
ever walked the face of the earth
Ye editordoesnotcare a continen
tal about being on the popular side,
and doesd’t give a whoop for the
sissy-silly society which is trying to
run this country. We believe in
“equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none.” Itistrue that the
rich duck enjoys himself in this old
world, but the poor man will get his
reward in the .world to come. Of
course the rich man will get his too,
but the rewards will probably be
different. There are exceptions to
all rules, aud ail rich men are not in
the class whom we have been speak
ing of. Those who think they own
the earth, and are better than the
honest poor man, are-the fellows we
have reference to. All men were
created equal, but to hear some of
them talk now, there is a thunder
ing sight of difference, and we be-
lieye the difference is in favor of the
poor man. We are not a Socialist
by any means, but we believe in the
equal division of blackberry pie,
each man sharing alike, with no fa
vors asked, and so long as the crop
holds out we shall not starve, altho’
some of our creditors may. If you
call at our shop and cannot find us,
you may know that we are out in
the briars beside some poor but hon
est tiller of the soil, picking black
berries, which are the. rich . man’s
delight, and the poor man’s friend.
We have wandered far from our
subject, and should we try to get
back, it would be giving too much
space, so we only class this article as
being a few random thoughts from
the pen of one of the great common
people to his companions the labor
ers in the mills and factories and the
tillers of the soil—men whom God
endowed with brains, if not with
money.
Funny Paragraphs.
A Dutchman who has lost several
hundred dollars in dealing in op
lions was asked whether he was a
‘bull” or a “bear?” “I vas neider;
I vas a shackass,” he replied,
A man by the name of Corn was
married at Rochelle, Hl;, to a Iadj
by the name of Wheat, which was
all right enough, but the foel choir
sang “ What Shall the Harvest be!”
iud the audience shouted, “Nub
bins.”
A woman was testifying in court
in behalf of her son. She swore
that he had worked on a farm evei
since he was born. The lawyer
who cross-examined her said: “You
iSBert that your son has worked on
i farm ever since he was born!”
“I do.” replied the woman."
“What did he do the first year!”
“He did the milking.”

For a Spnjncd Ankle.
As usually treated, a sprained ankle' will disable the injured person fora month or more, but by applying Cham-
oerlain’a Liniment and observing the IirectionB with each bottle faithfully,
a cure may be affected in many cases in less than one week’s time. This
liniment is a most remarkable prep-
iratidh. T ryit for a sprain or. bruise Ir when laid up. with chronic or mug oular.. rheumatism, aud you are cer
tain to,be delighted with the .prompt
relief which it affords. Forsaleby G, C. Sanford Sons Go-
Frank A. Hampton, as president
of a bad debt collection agency, was
tried in the Federal Court at Cha r
lotte last week for the fraudulent
use of the mails in connection with
their mode of collecting debts. Ihe
case was thrown out of court.
Clyde Pinner, a lad 9 years old,
died at the home of bis parents in
Asheville Monday from the effects
of hydrophobia. The child was in
terrible agony but conscious up to
the last and requested that the dog I
be killed so that he could not bite
any one else.
William P. Black, a iormei sa
loon keeper and now under indict
ment for running a blind tiger, pa
raded the streets of Asheville
Monday armed with a Winchester,
a shot gun and three pistols and
threatening to kill Magistrate Rey
nolds. He was finally locked up
and held without bail.
No Need of Buffering From Rheumatism.
It is a mistake to allow anyone to
3uffer from rheumetism, a? the pain can always be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected by applying Ghamberlain’s Liniment. .The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many tiroes its cost. It makes deep and rest possible Even in cases if long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
. affords. Do not be discouraged until you have given it a trial. Many
sufferers have been surprised and delighted with its pain-relieying qual
ities. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by

If one feels dull and spiritless, in
the spring or early summer they call it “spring fever.” But there is no
fever—usually. It is the af ter effect jf our winter habits. The r.erves are
no8tly at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us languid, -lifeless, and
without ambition. A few doses of
Dr: Shoop’s Restorative will absolute
ly and quickly change all of these Se-
pressing-symptoms. . The Restorative of course won’t bring you back to full
health In a day or two, but it will do enough m 48 hours to satisfy you that
,he remedy is reaching that “tired
spot.” Druggists everywhere are ad
vising its use as a splendid and prompt
general tonic. Ii gives more vim and more spirtt to the spoonful than
any other known nerve or constitu
tional tonic. It sharpens a failing
ippetitei aids digestion, frees sluggish livers and kidneys, and brings
lew life, strength and ambition. Test it a few days and be convinced. C. Q,
