The men who called were Adam Loving for man\ Vfiaifl a leader of Republican neg roes in this city; R. K, Battle, W. I). Grant aud Frank Williams, who have o rg an ized a Bryan and Kern negro club. Tlie nomination of Mr. Bryan, although it had been disconnted for weeks, is exceedingly distaste ful to many Korth Carolina Demo crats. Many will not vote for him at all sitiii many more will do so au ttilliu g ly ; as manj voted for prohibition. His recent making np to the negroes of the We*t, con firmed by the absolutely authentic Associated Press dispatches from his owi town last week, for the purpose of playing them against the white voters of that section in his own interest, will accentuate aud increase his unpopularity in the South.—Charlotte Observer. “We never exected to see the day when the Democratic party would be counting on the negro vote to help it carry its point,” remarks the Durham Herald. True enough, but some strange things are happening. From the Associated Press report of Friday, Ar*. .c^&IUptej lCttitn that a at-Acilj; shan't of Vieffcdrs Mr. Bryan on the “quivive” throughout the day. They in cluded “representatives of a negro Bryan and Kern elub,” but “PRO BABLY the most important visitor was Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh, H.C” Tbat qualifying word should cost the Associated Press man his job The party of callers included a uumber of negroes, and then Sec-, retary of War Daniels Could there have been any question con cerning the relative importance of these visitors!—Indastral Hews. •‘Get in touch wlth.ttaeir breth ren.” These be the words of Wil liam Jennines Bryan, Democratic candidate for the presidency, to -a negro delegation. What promises Hr. Bryau made to them is not re lated, Wepresumethe campaign slogan will not be nigger! nigger! nigger! this year. Who would have thought it. Yellow Jadket Stings. Nebraska will give Taft thirty thousand majority—and Ohld will be solid for him. Jeff Davis did nor break out in Iieuver—he lacked the credentials, out lie is still at large. Men are to be fined for crossing their legs i». public places when vV\ J B. gpts to be President. Governor Johnson wiges that he will support the ticket—that means two Swede votes. We don’t know for a certainty, but we have doubts whether Bry an will vote for himself. He is on. Say, bud, honestly now did you ever hear of Kerne until the Den ver folk found him with a micro- ■cope! Tne1 e were only fifty-seven dif ferent varieties for the vice presi dency at the Denver convention. It reminds us of Hines pickles. Wait until November apd you can’t see a grease spot of the Peer less One—his sun is already going to its final setting. One poor fool telegraphed Bryan to insist on changing the jackass to an eagle—but Bryan didn’t want to go back on the kin folks. Indiana is of course satisfied— that Kernel Kern will do as he has always done—run the ticket in the ground. The Denver convention proved one thing, and that was the lung power of a Democrat equals right along the lung power of a jackass, and that’s why that it is that the jackass is emblematic of the party. Swanson of VJrginia, and Glenn of NorA Carolina, who had pre pared two hour speeches seconding Billy’s nomination were howled f desired. Exports From United States Reach High-Water Mark. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Speci al.— The exports of merchandise from the United States for the eleven months ending with May, 1908, aggregated in value $1,745, 190.911, the largest in value in the history of the nation. The aSgregate imports were, for the ^nie time. $1,102,533,752, a de cline from the corresponding period a year ago of $219,377,458. Theexports increased ovgr those for the corresponding period of a !’ear ago to the amount of $2,079, 163.

There was quite a large crowd and every oije seemed to en joy the day. Mr. Martingave us an excellent address sin the morning, and Rev. Williamson one of his hum orous addresses in the evening, which was also excellent. But the most exciting part of the day was the ball game between the Courtney and Huntsville nines. .

' Mock in g bird . down nn.aer- ancf that was: the stuff. Wonder how many more times has Bryan got to be defeated be fore the Democratic party will re alize that the American people do not want him for their President. The convention at Denver howl ed ior Bryan for yearly an hour and a half. The average wake doesn’t last that long— but then it was a distinguished corpse. The Democratic press is not making so much noise about the dominating one man power as they did a few week?back. Tlfe boom erang has done come home., We have repeatedly asked the Democrate to name one of the things that Bryan had done lor the country, and today’s mail bringa. us the answer that he has about busted up the Democratic party.

MOCKSVILLE, N. C., AUG. 6, 1908. The defeat of Dick Hackett who wants to go to Congress from the Eighth, is already conceded by many leading democrats. The Peerless Leader, W. J- B. has forgotten about the Democratic party being a great White Suprem acy aggregation. Simmons should hasten to BilJie with the news. If there is a one cent stamp on your paper this week, it simply means that yonr subscription is more than a year behind, and that we are taking the cash out of our pocket to buy the stamps. Will you keep on compelling us to do this? We trust not. THE DEMOCRATIC VIEW. Wilmington Star (Dem.) • The attendance on the !Republi can convention, as we say, will not be near so large as was that on the Democratic, but it will be no in significant crowd. It will most probably be one of the largest gatherings the Republicans have held in this State in many years, as it will be one of the most im portant, for a great deal depends on the personnel of the ticket that x . . . ,J * - u v u i t U W W O i — A U 1U J J C U l V U l a U } may as well admit—for it is a fact which cannot truthfully be denied —that the Republican party in this State is stonger today than it has been since Yance was elected Gov ernor in 1876. We do not call that ol Russell in 1896 a Republican victory. . Success then was secured only by alliance with the Populists. We are speaking of the Republican party and not of the combination against the Democratic party. The Republican party today in this State is very different from what4s was a few years ago and it is day by day becoming a greater menace to Democratic supremacy in this State. The vote that party will poll next fall will be a great sur prise to m an/ Democrats. The time has passed when an that is necessary for the Democrats to carry the State is to hold: the elec tion and announce overwhelming victory of its party ’ at the polls. !Now an intelligent and resourceful opponent is to be met—an oppon ent who is gaining strength with each recurring election. Time has come when the Democratic party leaders must consult the wishes of the people, must bid for the sup port of the people instead of dictat ing to them how and for whom they shall vote.. What we say may not suit some of the party leaders who wish to keep the peo ple blinded as to true conditions, -hut it is a fact that North Carolina is every day becoming more and more debatable ground between the two great political parties. Eor this reason it behooves • the Democratic leaders to be most care ful in their treatment of the people and in the manner in which they attempt to conduct the affairs of the State. W e believe the Repub lican State convention will, in the large number of persons in attend ance and in the character and standing in business circles of those persons, together with the increas Cd Republican vote next fall, prove the truth of our assertion, that the /Republican party is no longer an insignificant factor in North Caro Iina polities. This is a fact which the Democrats had better face and prepare itself to meet, for by so doing is the greatest siafqty. In another column appears the announcement of P. P. Green for Sheriff. Mr. Green is a good mau, a life long Republican, and the County Couvention would make no mistake in tendering him the nom ination, for we know of no one who would make a better officer. Judge Taft Formally Notified of His Nominatioo. Cincinnati Dispatch, 28th. Officially notified -today of his nomination for the presidancy by the Republican party,-William H. Taft, standing on the portico of his brother’s home in this, the city of his nativity, formally accepted the honor, pledged anew his allegiance to the policies of President Roose velt and declared that the chief function.of the next Republican administration will be to clinch what has been already accomplish ed by the present occupant of the White House. In doing this, how-, ever. Mr. Taft pointed out in what is regarded as a conservative note in his address, that there will be serious and difficult work to do, principally “ to devise ways and mpans by which the high level of- business integrity and obedience to law which he (PresidentRoosevelt) has established may be maintained and departures from -it restrained without undue interference with le gitimate business,” ^ Mr. Taft attacked the Demo cratic platform, asserting that most of its declarations either are in consistent or disingenuous. Mr. Bryan’s policies were held up as destructive. The last audience that heard the candidate was re sponsive to its every mood. To The Ladies. Our 30th Annual Masonic picnic will be held on Aug. 13th.

X .MOCKSVILLE. N. C.. THURSDAY. AUGUST 13. 1908.No. 6 Letter From President Finley. Editor Davie Record:—I t has oc curred to me that it may not be im proper for me to address you and other representative editors in Ihe southern states on a subject which I believe to be of great importance to the future prosperity of our section. Mydutiesrequireme to keep in touch, as nearly as possible, with business conditions throughout the country, and especially in the south. Sincethebeginningof the business depression from which the country is now recovering, I have been great ly impressed with evidence which has come to me that, while business all over the United States has been unfavorably affected, the effects of the depression have been felt most severely, as a general rule, in those communities the energies of which are devoted principally to the pro duction of a single commodity, or of a few commodities, and that busi ness has been relatively less affected in those communities in which pro duction is more diversified. I have been impressed especially with the fact that the business depression has been relatively less severe in those southern localities in which attention has been given to the growing of fruits and vegetables. There has been a steady market for these pro ducts, and, although prices have not in some instances been af high as in other seasons, I believe they have generally yielded profits to the growers. The press of the south has already accomplished much by advocating diversification of agriculture and manufacturing, and, looking back over the past twenty-five years, we can realize that much has been ac complished in this direction. I be- i lieve, however, that the time is es pecially opportunate for continuing our efforts in this direction and fo r urging that each southern commun ity shall make the most of the oppor tunities which a revival of business will open up to it. Nature has favored the south with practically inexhaustible resources of great variety, and the industrious and resourceful southern people have shown their ability to take up and carry to success new lines of industry. I believe, therefore, that you w ill agree with me as to the de sirability of encouraging s till great er diversification of industry in the direction of utilizing to the fullest extent the natural resources of our section. Without attempting to enumerate the lines in which progress in this direction is possible, I would suggest that, in many localities, agricultural prosperity might be advanced by further diversification of farming, especially in the direction of pro ducing the fruits and vegetables best suited for each locality; that live stock and dairying might profitably receive more attention in some Io calities, and that, in connection with a larger production of fru its and vegetables, there are many locali ties in which canning and preserving industries might profitably be car ried on more extensively than at present. Industrially, I believe it should be the aim of the south to add to: the profits of producing raw materials the profits of manufacturing; by con verting soy them raw materials, as far as possible, into articles ready for use. As indicating, what may be done along this line; I may refer to the cotton textile industry. Although the south has a substantial monopoly in the production of the most wide ly used textile fiber in the world, some of us are old enough to re member when it was believe^ in many quarters that cotton manu facturing on a large scale could not be established successfully in the south. The southern people first demonstrated their ability to make the coarser grades of cotton fabrics, and they are now demonstrating their ability to make the finer grades as well and to bleach and finish the products of their mills. I think we may look forward w ith confidence to the further development of this great industry and of industries de pending upon it, such as the manu facture of cotton goods into articles of clothing ready fo r wear. I m ight enumerate a long lis t of opportunities fo r the further devel- oyment of manufacturing. It would include the conversion, on a larger scale, of southern-made leather into boots and shoes, harness and belting in southern factories, and the con version of the products of southern forests and mines into a long list of articles ready fo r use. I have said enough, however, to suggest to you the point I wish to make, which is, that I believe that all of us who have the prosperity of the south at heart should do all in their power to en courage the diversification of south ern industry and the conversion in southern factories of southern pro ducts into articles ready fo r use rath er than their shipment to other sec tions in the form of raw materials or of partly manufactured commodi ties. I need not assure you of my great interest in every movement fo r the advancement of a southern community, and you know that this company, through its land and in dustrial department, stands ready at all times to co-operate in every prop er way w ith individuals and com munities along its lines fo r the es tablishment of new industries, the promotion of such immigration as may be desired by such immigration as may be desired by each commun ity , and the general advancement of southern prosperity. Yours very truly, W. W. Finley. Washington, D. C., July 31, 1908. Mayor Stopped W ork W ith Gun. M r. H . H . Abee was recently elected mayor of West Hickory. A company headed by M r, Geo. F. Ivey, of H ickory, owned a site in West H ickory on which they pro posed to erect a “ picker stick” factory. For same reason Mayor Abee didn’t want the factory b u ilt and after the foundation had been laid the mayor sallied forth w ith his gun and stopped the work; he also kicked down the portion of the foundation that had been b u ilt The H ickory correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, who furn ishes this information, says the matter w ill be aired in a magis trate’s court to morrow and that, meantime, the eitizens of West H ickory w ill ask Mayor Abee to resign. Evidently the mayor do esn’t want industrial enterprises in his town.—Landmark.

Four negroes were taken from ja il here early today and quietly hanged to a tree on the edge of town. The mob was composed of about fifty men and the people of the town-knew nothing of the affair u n til daylight revealed the four bodies dangling from a tree just outside Russellville, on Nasheville pike. The following note was found pinned on-one of the bodies: “ Let this be a warning to you niggers to let white people alone or you w ill go the same way. Hugh Rogei-s better shut up, or q u it.” The negroes who ,were lynched were members of a lodge, and -at a meeting recently it is said they ap proved o f, the murder of James Cunningham, a white farmer, by his negro tenant, Rufus Browder. This murder occurred in the south ern part of Logan county, and it is supposed here that the mob was made up of men from that part of the county.

W hy not pay it? why be compelled to suffer the mortifica tion of a dun? why not take that little thorn out of yonr finger at once, it w ill fester if allowed to remain and cause half the trouble. Why not relieve the conscience of that little load? You contracted the debt knowingly and w illingly. Did yon mean to pay it? Certainly you did. Thenw hynot do it at once. Every day’s delay increases morally the amount of your obli gation. Remember, too, that your little debt and another man’s lit tle debt and a thousand other men’s little debts, make a little fortune for your creditor.—Exchange.

LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANT PAPER EVER PUBLISHED IN DAVlE COUNTY. OUR TICKET. For President, WM- H. TAFT of Ohio. For Vice-President: JAMES S. SHERMAN, of New York. MOCKSVILLE, N. C., AUG. 13, 1908. When Josephus Daniels, the great North Carolina nigger squall- er was being entertained two weeks ago, and a delegation of negroes ‘called on M r. Bryan, and were served w ith fried chicken. We wonder if Josephns took a few bites, or did he wait u ntil the col ored brethren withdrew! Times do change, don’t they, Josephus? A convention of the 29th Sena torial D istrict is called to meet at the Court House in Y adkinville1 on Monday, September 7tb, 1908, at 12 m., for the purpose of nomi nating a candidate for the State Senate. Daviecounty is entitled to the Senator this time, and we think she should be given the privilege of naming the man of her choice. “ A panic reaches far, even down to a poor, blind negro, who saws wood for a living. The republicans have got much to answer fo r.—Lexington Dis patch. Yes, brother, but not as much as the “ thing” who says he is go ing to vote for an ass for governor. Nay, not near so much as the de mocrats have to answer for in let ting thousands of people starve during the soup house panic of 1893. Selah. BRYAN AND CLEVELAND. W hatW . J.B . said of Grover and the Denver Convention July 1908: ‘We recognize in him one of the strongest and ablest characters known to the world’s states menship, and by his able, con scientious, jand forceful adm ini stration of pub lic affairs reflee ted honor upon his country and the party.” Having gone over to W all Street, Bryan eu logises Cleveland in the hope of getting the votes of those who be lieved in the bunco steerer.— Times-Mercury. W hat W . J. B said of Grover, at at TJrbana, O., four years ago: “ The Democrats in 1892 played a confidence game on the people and put a bunco steer er at the head of the party. ” The “ bunco steer er” was Grover C I e v e I a n d, of course. BRIH FOR GOVERNOR. Davie county Republicans have a warm place in their hearts for Prof. B ritt. He has come to our county on several occasions and made speeches, and while we have no special candidate, knowing that a ll the names mentioned are good and deserving men, and are like us, anxious for the standard of the Republican party to be placed in the hands of the best and most available man. We are sure the convention can make no mistake in selecting Prof. B ritt, and we pledge him in advance Davie coun t-y’s best efforts to procure his elec tion, He is a man whose charac ter is above reproach, whose emi nent fitness is unquestionable, and whose administration would reflect credit upon his party and State, and whose greatest pleasure would be in giving to the people a clean, im partial and progressive admin istration. Justice tempered w ith mercy would characterize his every act, and on the hustings, his op ponent would meet a foeman wor thy of his steel-—a true, patriotic North Carolina gentleman, Lord Save Us. Now is the time when the coun ty newspapers are receiving letters from men they do not know and possibly never heard ol, stating the w riter is a candidate for some office and any aid that the editor can bestow w ill be greatly appre ciated. Yes, no doubt it would. On the other hand any aid these politicians can bestow on the edi tor to recompense him for space in his paper would be appreciated. I f politicians want .to advertise their business, why in the dickens don’t they include a check as evi dence of good faith, for the amount of advertising they desire and send along copy properly signed for ad vertising? . Talk about business. I f there is any more business in a newspaper man giving away his goods we are unable to see where it comes in. ATTENTION, REPUBLICANS! On Monday, Aug. 24th, your county convention meets. On Sat urday. Aug. 22nd, at 3 p. m., your township primaries are held. Now, let me urge every Republican in the county to go out Saturday eve ning and attend your primaries, and if possible come to Mocksville on the 24th to the convention, for on that day we are to elect dele gates to the State and Senatorial conventions and nominate a county ticket. H*e are not going to make any suggestions as to who you w ill nominate, for that is a matter to be decided by the Republicans of the county, but le t me urge you not to stay at home and then com plain if you don’t get the men yon want. I also want to insist on yon electing three good Republicans at your precinct meetings on the 22nd as your township executive com mittee, and this executive commit tee should attend the county con vention on the 24th, for a county executive committee w ill then be elected, and a county chairman and secretary. Go. out to your conventions and do your duty as good loyal Republicans and let’s ro ll up the biggest m ajority ever given in the county. . Republican. The Negro Party. M r. M. A . Poovey was in Mon day. He says politics are funny. Democrats ceceded from the Union, then fought for the negro. Then when they could not vote the negro, they disfranchised them. Then because the negroes voted w ith the Republicans, they called them the negro party. Now, in order to win, the Democrats are trying to vote the negro. So if they take their own medicine, then they are either the negro party, or they lied when they said the Re publicans were the negro party.— Hickory Times-Mercury. Bryan and Maryland. Bryan’s election we hope can never be. I f he were the finest and purest patriot that ever breath ed the things he stands for and the men who stand behind him make the thought of his election inconceivable. Maryland w ill do her part. Twice she threw her vote heavily against him, and this year it w ill be a landslide.—B alti more American. No Panic. "Where is the panic anyhow? Everybody talks about it, but no body seems to feel it. The trains are crowded. The hotels are like wise fu ll. The resorts are enjoy ing the finest season iu their his tory. The merchants are Belling ing goods, and the farmers are hav ing a perfect picnic. The only people who suffer are the poor millionaires, and we are at poor business to lie awake nights think ing about them,—Charity and Children. LergeRatder. M r. John Hoibiuok while up' at Trap H ill last week took a trip Over Stone mountain. This moun tain and a largeportion of adjacent lands were acquired by a land company a few years ago and the people who Bold to the company moved out, Since then, M r. Hol brook tells us, rattlesnakes in that action have m ultiplied wonderfully and have taken possession of the mountain, He says that some of natives te ll of some wonderful bat tles w ith huge rattlers this sum mer. The largest rattler he heard of while on his trip was killed a few days ago by a young man on lop of 3tone Mountain. The re ptile had 14 rattles and the young man declares it weighed at least 75 pounds. M r. Holbrook, while as a general proposition he w ill vouch for the young man, is of the opin ion that he is liable to err as to the weight of rattlers —Wilkesboro Chronicle. Mad Clerks Injured in Wreck. Charlotte Observer, 3d. The Southern’s New York and New Orleans Lim ited solid P ull man train No. 38, which is due to arrive in Charlotte at 9.25 o’clock, en route North, vas wrecked four mile this side of K ing’s Mountain and one mile below Bessemer City last night at 8.25 o’clock. The tender and a postal m ail car left the tracks and were hurled down the embankment, which at this place is at least 25 feet high. Five mail clerks were more or less badly injured. Davie County Convention and Township Vote. Under the Republican plan of or ganization, each township and pre cinct w ill have the following number of votes in the county convention: Calahaln.5, Clarksville 5, Cooleemee 2, Farmington 6, Fulton 5, E. Shady Grove 6, Jerusalem 5, Mocksville 6, West Shady Grove 3, Smith Grove 4. Total, 47 votes. It w ill take 24 votes to nominate.

P lain T alks on F ertilizers Increasing and Safeguarding the Wheat-Crop The use of com mercial fertilizers on the wheat crop is year ly b e c o m in g more general—proof enough that it pays, and pays well. Too many farmers, however, use fertilizers without due regard • for the special needs of their soils. Often they buy the cheapest grades. Or they use very small quantities. That su ch u n s c ie n tific use of fe rtili zers has proved profitable indi cates what it can accomplish for wheat grow ers i f used more carefully and in te lli gently. The best way to learn just what fertilizers w ill pay you best is to make com parative tests on a small scale w ith your soils — then use a ' W sufficient amount and, you w ill undoubtedly increase not only the average yields, but your profits as well. . 1Z W rite to the V ir ginia-Carolina Chem ical Company for its —] new Year Book or A l manac, a costly 130 page book, w ritten by government and private experts.

SOME THINGS THAT WILL KEEP YOU GRINNING FOR A WEEK. OUR RED-HEADED MAN. STofc dead, but sleeping. W ill keep my mouth shut after this a- bout some things Not that I ’m afraid of being whipped, for there is not a fellow in Mocksville that would touch me, even if they knew who I was. A fellow handed me a letter the other day that another had found near the postoffice. I t read thus: “Dear Bob: Did you enjoy the candy I sent you, and did you eat it a ll. A .” I wonder who sent that note. I ’d give a bushel of peanuts to know. I t couldn’t have been a baby. But I ’ll find out, ’cause he’ll want to fight me when he sees this. Wonder where those boys were going w ith a chunk of wood on their backs the other night. I f a fellow has to take a load of wood when he goes to Ree his g irl, the i time is not far off when courtship and marriage w ill be among the seven wonders of this town. A young man living at Advance requested me to send him my name. He’s got the name, but he’s sorry now that he has. He was some what jarred when he got it, and I ’ll bet Claude’s five-dollar gold piece that he w ill not show his face in Mocksville any more soon. It is said that girls are now em broidering pictures of their favor ite presidential candidates upon their stockings. I cannot say for sure whether Mocksville girls have taken up this fad or not. A in’t it a strange thing that this town can’t have a few good looking boys’ But she hasn’t. I took the census of the ugly peeple here the other day. There are just thirteen good looking fellows. One is a tramp, two are clerks, three work at the furniture factory, one at the chair factory, two at the veneering plant, one at the postoffice, and three who do nothing but hang around. Of course there are a few more than the ones named above that would pass at a close pinch, but these thirteen are a ll the real beautiful fellows here, since that printer le ft town. Thereare th ir ty-three pretty girls in this town, including myself, and they do not a ll live in North Mocksville. I heard a fnnny tale the other day about some yonngiladies who were spendiug some of their time in the Yadkin, but, dear boys, au revoir. Warm Weather Talk. A man wearing a hat and a pair of socks “ w ith nothing between’’ walked up Broad street in Rich mond the other day, says an ex change. He claimed the weather was “ too hot for clothes.” That fellow could sympathize w ith Sid ney Smith when he shocked the old lady, who asked him if he was suffering from the oppressively hot weather then prevailing, by reply-, ing that he was so hot he would like to take off his flesh and sit in his bones.—W ilmington Star.

A fter two decades of sizzling in the trop ics, life in the North promised to develop into one long, grand c h ill. Only recently, when the spring sun had begun to get really busy, has he shown any symptoms of thawing out. “ I t isn’t that I ’m exactly warm now,” he explained the other day; “ it ’s ju st that I begin to hope that I w ill be some time. I feel a good deal like the darky who migrated from a hot spot down in Florida and settled in Boston. “ The old fe’low hadn’t dwelt long in that atmosphere of cold reason and east winds before a mortal c h ill assailed him , body and sp irit. W inter came on. The northeast gales and the lecture sea son were at their bitterest and the darkey got colder a< d colder, stiff- er aDd stiffer. “ F irst he couldn’t talk Then he couldn’t walk. Then he couldn’t eat. Finally he lay stark and cold and dead. “ The fam ily prepared to dispose of his remains. When he first reached Boston, before he froze up so he could not get out, he passed a crematory one day and had been enchanted w ith it. I t appealed very warmly to him , and he had requested his relatives to see that his remains were cremated when he should come to die. “ So they carried his body off to the crematory and handed it over to the persons in charge. They were told that it would take about two hours to reduce the body to ashes, and were invited to remain ot return at the end of that period to witness the opening of the fu r nace. “ A t the end of two hours, there fore, in the presence of the ,assem bled friends, the door of the fu r nace was opened, whereupon a hoarse voice from w ithin called out irrita b ly: “ “Shut dat door! I feel a draff on my feet!’ ’’—New York Sun. Labby Priion SiBnboeaRelieved. M r. Edward E. Henry, w ith the United States Express Co., Chicago, writes, “ Our General Superintend ent, M r.

He comes into the world yelping for attention and he goes out of it on the same plan. He feels he is the Ioi d ot creation, and is entitled to the best of every thing whether he earns it or not. He wants to be the main stem of the earth, and the longer his rope the more lie tries to stretch it. He considers woman a side show and matrimony a joke. He lies to her and tells her he has been sittiog up with a sick lodge brother, when he has been playing poker; and he insists upon having a ll the say on the outside; but his wife is the orator at the home.

AUGUST 20. 1908.No. 7 Democrats to Win Negro Vote. Lincoln, Neb., J u lj 23.—The de termination of the Democrats to capture the negro vote of the coun try was iurther emphasized today when W illiam J. Bryas told a de legation of negroes from Lincoln that it was his desire that they should get in touch w ith their brethren everywhere and particu larly in Ohio and agree upon a line ot campaign in behalf of the Democratic ticket. The men who called were Adam Loving, for many years a leader of Sepublican negroes in this city; R. K . Battle, W. D. Grant and Frank W illiam s, who have organized a Bryan and Kern n«»gro club. Not for some time has M r. Bryan spent such a busy day His callers numbered orer a hundred and w ith many ol them the political situation was canuassed. H einform edthem that in his opinion the Democrats of the country never before presented such a solid front but that - they must continue to keep on the fir ing line u ntil the very day of the election. The above sounds a little pecu liar when we remember this is the Democratic candidate trying to get the negro vote. This is a ll the more peculiar because the very mail that. brings this news also brings the news that the Demo- cratr of West Ya., have ju s t de clared for the dislranchisement of the negro. Poor negro! Where they can use them they love them, where they cau’t use them , they wonld destroy them. A ll thiB brings the same to my mind that the associated press spoke of a few days ago, when Josephus Daniels risited Br.van at his home which was reported as follows: NEGROES CALL ON BRYAN. ^Lincoln Blacks Given Hearty Greeting,; I and Served With Fried Chicken- | Joseihus Daniels Was There. ieting* I The following special from L in -i Scolu, Nebraska, was printed in f !The Haleigh Evening Times Jn lyl 24th: “ Yesterday was Bryan’s busy! [day. It was also his jo yfu l day.! I “ The business that occupied! Jhis time was greeting a steady? !stream of pilgrim s. The jo yfu l | |ness was resultant upon the visit? |0f a delegation of Lincoln negroes! !heretofore staunch Republicans,! Jwho marched out to Fairview tog !pledge their support to the Demo-I Scratic ticket. | I “ The visiting negroes carried a| |banner labelling its followers as* !members of the negro Bryau and! jKern club of Lincoln W hilw Mr. Brjan was giving them af |hearty welcome and urging themf to keep in touch w ith the colored! brethren throughout the country.* somebody in the house was frying! chicken. A picnic lunch was| served to the visitors on the lawn.? ‘One of the most im portant! ,visitors was Josephus Daniels, ot| Raleigh, N. C.. proprietor of th i^ews and Observer. or did they make you wait until these colored gentlemen were through and then eat at the Becond table? D id M r. Bryan help serve this meal and d id he have on a. white apron or a dress suit as waiters usually wear on such occasions! How many of these colored gen tlemen were you introduced to Brother Daniels, and what did you say to them about how glad you were to find them in the Demo cratic party! Just te ll us a ll about it, Brother Daniels, and I w ill try and see if I can’t get Judge Adams to have a nice cartoon made ot the whole af fa ir and a hundred thousand or more copies made for general cir culation and if I can I w ill send you one. Don’t keep mum on this aflair and disappoint your old friend.— Justice, in Union Republican. This tells us that when Josephus Arrived he found Bryan’s yard fu ll of negroes, a ll eating fried chicken. Row Brother Daniels had so much to say about the Booker Washing ton incident and so little to say a- bout Fred Douglas at Cleveland’s reception and so many Democrats Baid that Republicans did not te ll the truth about these matters that I am going to ask Brother Daniels to just tell us exactly how this business of Bryan’s serving fried chicken to these colored gentlemen 1^as. Tb facilitate Brother Daniels an swer I w ill ask him a few ques-; tions that he can answer or not, aa he thinks best. The first is. D id you find these colored gentlemen in Bryan’s yard as the preBssays! Were they being dined by M r. ^ryan as the press says! Did you eat w ith them Josephns Allies. ‘• If the negroes vote the .Demo cratic ticke t,” remarks The A n derson, S. O., D aily M ail, “ they are going to expect political re wards, and if the negroes are to be taken into the Democratic party there w ill be no excuse le ft for the Sonth to remain solidly Democratic any longer. Every negro Demo cratic vote cast in the North and West this year w ill mean a hun dred Republican votes in the South in the next election.” W hich, ex cept the obvious overstatement at the close, is a ll quite true. I f the negro’s present trend toward the Democratic party were inspired by less unworthy motives than desire to panish a Republican President for not ignoring m idnight murder where negro troops committed it upon a Southern town, something quite different m ight be Baid. but facts like these are hard. We feel certain that the Democratic party can derive no ultim ate benefit from such an alliance. Tne mass of Southern voters liaveat least some little sp irit, and they w ill not sub m it to any and every imposition even at the hands of the Demo cratic party.—Charlotte Observer^ Bryan and the Negro in a Nutshell To the Editor of The Observer. The South and a ll of her noble leaders are relegated to the rear by Bryan and his advisers sim ply to bait the colored voters of the North and some of the middle Western States where they figure that the negro vote is the balance of power. ThiB is a deplorable state of af fairs. How long w ill the great Sonthsubmit in Bilence to such treatment! The people ought to rise np as one man and repudiate this Bryau gang and teach them a lesson. Subscribes. Hamlet, Aug. 8,1908. Yes, and that class of Democrats who howl “ nigger” u n til they grew black in the face, at Repub licans, are now training w ith Mr. Bryan who hopes to be elected president by the negro vote. We believe that thousands of Demo crats are going to take the advice above given and repudiate M r. Bayan at the polls. Letter From Route Three. I was rumaging around Satur day evening and called by the way o f Fork and found the Academy open. I says to a friend, what does that mean. He Bays, why they have a farmers’ union here. I thought to myself, the boys had better be discussing farming be tween the plowhandles. That is the only wajr this old plowboy ever prepared much land for a wheat crop, and boys, if you don’t pre- pare your laud you won’t put much wheat in your granary, union or no union. Further on In my ram bles l came upon a friend on the roadside cutting briars. I asked him what he was doing. He said, he was getting his field ready to plow, I asked him why he Attend Primaries. Every Republican in the county who can, should go out to their primaries on Saturday, Aug. 22, a t3.o’clock, p .m ., and take part in electing delegates to. the county convention. A t the primaries is the place to find out the sentiment of the people, So go out and say who you want. Mocksville Republicans. We hope eveiy Republican in MockBVille and Mocksville town ship w ill come to the court house Saturday eveuing at 3 p. in., and attend the Republican primaries Stop work long enough to attend your party meetings. More For The Money. M r. E ditor:—The people of the town can see what it is to have a man who works and knows how to do the work, in charge of the streets. In th e past, on several occasions, we have criticised M r. Etchison, when he was policeman, possibly more than we should, but I am frank to say that the town has got more for its money when he was in. than Irom any one who has held the position since I have been a resident of the town. Cit iz e n . not at the farmers’ union. He said he didn’t havejtime, and more than that, they couldn’t te ll him how to cut briars. Now that man is a farmer. He had cut a ll the briars inside the field and was ac tually outside cleaning up the road, and it Saturday evening, and didn’t have time to go to the farm ers’ union. He is a farmer and not only a farmer, but a model, modern farmer, one who w ill put the wheat in the granary if any body does. Politics is beginning to be talk ed down in these diggins, especi ally -candidates for nomination. We hear our hustling young friend John Bi Smith spoken ot for the. office of Sheriff. The party would make no mistake to give M r. Smith the nomination. Not that we have anything against onr old Sheriff, the present incumbent, but Ith in k we should break a colt into the harness occasionally. We know that M r. Smith has the a b ility anil qualifications to fill the office ac ceptably, if elected, which he w ill be, if nominated. So hurrah for Taft and the Republican party and the dear old Record, who stands so brave for onr cause. R eader. bred are enough of them to excite disgust among a ll true women, and iwe wish among a ll true men, that these girls and young women con duct themselves so as to ,reflect honor upon their sex.—Ohio State Journal. Girls on the Street There is a great difference in girls as one sees them on the streets. Some are modest ^nd gentls and go along without attracting attention, except what may be awakened by graceful carriages and pleasand faces. They te ll of eood homes and thoughtful mothers and gentle breeding. They suggest likewise good books, moral ideas and in telligent associates. But there are other kinds of girls who are care less of their conduct, Thejy are ju st a little loud, laugh a*' great deal and chatter' noisily. They are rather empty creatures who read trashy books and ta lk the same way, and are inclined to get reckless in their chatter about be aux. I t is their fo lly that attracts attention along the street. When ever they pass>a young man, he turns and regards them w ith curious grin. Really, if they were sensible, modeet girls, they wouldn’t like for the loafers along the street to gawk at them and wonder, who they are and make shallow remarks to the other fellow. T h e j would want to go along the street leaving a sort of undefined sensation, if any at a ll, that ‘‘theregoes a lady!” These differanees the causal obser ver can easily see, but really the gentle and well bred are in the m ajority, while the loud and ill Hot Shot From the Caucasian. A fter spending a lew days in Raleigh Governor Glenn le ft Tues day for Montieat. Gov. Glenn w ill probably oppose the move to create an office for public Speaker. I f Bryan is elected those negroes who shot up Brownsville w ill ex pect a job rig h t away. The Democrats in Rockingham County are very busy—figlitipg among themselves. Guess Bryan is glad that Watson and Graves have" locked horns, so as to give him a rest. I f E itchin was a dangerous man before the Charlotte convention isn’t he dangerous now? M r, Gompers says it is a “ lie .” That he never promised to deliver the labor vote to the Democratic party. The Democrats w ill elect Bryan every day from now u n til the Na tional election, and then the Re publicans w ill elect Taft. A Denver man has been fasting for Bixty days He must think that the Democrats w ill win this year and is preparing himself for hard times. The Democratic Commissioners of Duplin County have been in dieted for neglect of duty. How is that under “ Democratic Good Government” ? The public has not heard much from M r. Bryan for the past few days. He has been too busy work ing on a reply to M r. Taft’s speech of acceptance. Eern, the Democratic nominee for Yice-President, is the standing attorney for the Brewers’ Combine of Indiana. W ill the Democrats of North Carolina vote for Kern? The Republicans have a good ap- protunity to win this year if they w ill put up a good State ticket. Excellent Health Advice. Mrs. M. M.

MOCKSVILLE, N. C., AUG. 20, 1908. BRYAN AND THE SOLDIER. Recently Hon. Thos. E. Watson, charged that M r. Bryan, when a member of Gongress voted against Crisp for speaker and gave as his reason that he was a Confederate soldier. M r. Bryan indignantly de nied the charge. In a letter to the editor of The People’s Paper, of Charlotte, Mr. Watson renews his charge against Mr. Bryan, as follows: "There is no doubt whatever that Bryan made the remark about his reluctance to vote for an ex-Gonfed- erate soldier. He is dodging the is sue. He did vote for Crisp, but that was after the caucus nomina tion had made it imperative that he should do so. “ It was during the contest be tween the candidates in the caucus that Bryan threw away his vote on Springer, who was no longer in the race, telling Mr. Lewis that he did not care to face old soldiers of his district with a record of having vo ted for an ex-Confederate. “ Mr. Bryan w ill not deny that he used the language. “ He shirks that question altogeth er. “ Yours truly, “Thos. E. W atson.” To this, Mr. Bryan has made no reply, and as Watson says, we don’t think he w ill, because he can’t. Andjudgingbytheaction of the IateState Democratic Convention, the Confederate soldier stands no higher witn the present Democratic leaders in this State than with Bry an.—The Caucasian. CAN YOU ANSWER? 1st. We ask you if you have not been devoting the first page of the Courier to temperance and prohibi tion articles for the past few years? 2nd. Weask you, if w ithin the past three months you have not been drunk at least half a dozen times, and if you did not get beastly drunk while attending the Democratic con vention in Charlotte in June? 3rd. W easkyouif you did not get drunk in Winston Saturday, Aug. 8th, and was so drunk that you le ft your bundles and had to re turn to Winston Monday, the 10th, after them? 4th. We as';c you if you did not bring a br^tle of whiskey w ith you on yo 'jr return trip from Winston te'jt week? 5th. We ask you if you and W ill son haven’t been keeping whiskey in your rooms in the Weant building? 6th. W easkyouifyou did not furnish Willson with the whiskey on which he got drunk last Wednesday, Aug. 12th? 7th. W easkyouif you did not inspire and advise him to make the attach on E. H. Morris on the 12th? ' 8th. We ask you if you have not made open threats to stand up to Willson in anything he would do? 9th. We ask you if the Demo crats have not kicked out Tom Tag gart, the saloon and gambling den keeper as chairman, and if it would not be in keeping with the eternal fitness of things for the decent tem perance element of your party to call for your resignation as chair man of the County Executive Com mittee? 10th. Doyouthink it proper to enter this campaign with a temper ance flag at the head of your col umns, ledbya drunken chairman? 11th. Tell the good people if you have not been furnishing Willson with whiskey, and telling him and others that you would back him up in anything he did? 12th. Can you tell the men who turned over to you, as Secretaryand Treasurer, $12 or $14, what you have done with the money. Quiz. Old man Spirus Blackwood was hardly cold in his coffin before E. E. Hunt, J. P., was talking of proceed ing against one of his boys fo r va grancy. W ill Mr. Hunt tell the peo ple of Mocksville why he does not enforce this law against some others who are not only vagrants but pub lic nuisances? M. You would know that a campaign for president was on without ask ing, fo r the Southern Democrats have begun to lynch and bum ne groes at the stake, and the heelers and vagabonds to assault Federal officers, and the Northern and Wes tern wings are fishing fo r the negro vote. Not long since W. Y. Willson told a reputable gentleman in town that atone time he had made up his mind to shoot down one of the prom inent men of the town in the event a certain thing happened. K. W Y. Willson is a public nuisance who was endorsed for reinstatement fo r policeman by Bev. C. S. Gash- well, Rev. C. P. Goode and other anti-saloon, law and order gentle men, who fa il to practice what they preach. M. E.H. MORRIS ASSAULTED. M r. Editor:—The assault made up on E. H. Morris, postmaster, last Wednesday evening while on his way to the postoffiee, by one W. Y. W ill son, was Ihe most cowardly and das tardly in the history of the town. The people of MoeksvilIe are gaining for themselves anything but an en viable reputation fo r enforcing the law, being a prohibition town, and to allow this man Willson to get drunk and curse and assault the law- abiding citizens of the town, is a disgrace to the town and its law- abiding element. Upon what meat has this Caesar fed, that he can pa rade the streets of the town in a drunken condition fo r days and nev er a hand turned to restrain him? Doyouwishtocompel the lawabid- ing element to resort to force and arms to protect themselves against this public nuisance? Do you want to encourage a vigilance committee to resort to tar ahd feathers to rid themselves of a public nuisance which you decline and refuse to a- bate? X. Y. Z. Box Sappers. Should box suppers be held in connection with our public schools to raise money for any object! Or rather had we not better do w ith out the .money than to encourage in the pupils the very thing that should be kept out of school. During one of the sessions of the Teachets’ Institute ^for this county, we understand that the County Superintendent recommen ded that the teachers have box suppers to raise money to help se cure libraries for those districts that now have none. I t seems strange that any one of sufficient intelligence to hold the exalted po sition of County Superintendent Cf l)avie county, would ‘ encourage such a course in her public schools. That it helps to, or has a ten dency to draw the minds ot the pupils from their books and en courages a. sp irit of “ courting,” goes without question. Every teacher in Davie county who has ever had a case of ‘‘courting” in his or ber school, knows that it inspires the entire school, and that the participants In said courtship do absolutely no good at a ll. We wonld-advise every teacher in Da vie county to be slow to adopt the box-sapper plan of raising money, The box supper method Beems to be the most successful in neigh borhoods where the educational in terest is at a low ebb. We think it bad policy for teachers of our schools to encourage anything, the success of which depends upon the reckless expenditure of money. We should rather teach our pn- pils to be economic. Boys some times pay two or three dollars for a box the actual value of which is not more than twenty-five or fifty cents. The teacher who encour ages such recklessness in his or her pupils is making a serious mis- mistake. Observer. Items From Rowaa. Rev. R. L. Brown and wife are on a visit to Faith for a few days. The quarries around Faith seem to be on a boom and are circulating much money in that section. Faith is a growing little town, and is re ceiving a good income from the quarries. The Whitney works are s till in the hands of a receiver, and some think much of the money spent on the dam w ill be lost. A child of M r. and Mrs. Ivey B row jigotto some morphine tab lets and came near losing its life. Poisonous things should be carefuily kept out of reach of children. Wehaveafineprospect fo r com and cotton has shedded but little so far. Wearehaving some very warm weather, bufc it seems that it never gets too hot to marry. The services at the Orphan home, at Crescent were well attended and there seems to be a bright future of that home of only a few years. Poiitics is getting to be a consid erable item, and Republicanism is looking up. We would like to whis- Der in the ears of our delegates to the coming convention at Charlotte, and tell them if they w ill nominate for governor a strong prohibition man, we can expect the old North State to be nnder Republican rule for the next few years at least. Here is a chance that has not been offered fo r many years, and we hope they w ill keep this in mind. Obskbvek. ^ Another Honor. M r.'Editor:—M r. W. K. Clement the editor of the Courier, and the Chairman of the County Democratic Executive Committee is telling it in town that the cowardly assault made onE.H . Morris by the vagabond and drunken brute, W. Y. Willson, on the 12th was justifiable. He is also telling it that he, Clement, is drinking a quart of whiskey a day. Quite an honor fo r the distinguished prohibition temperance editor of the Courier. We presume it takes just about a quart a day to run such a temperance paper as he is getting out, and if his readers w ill notice, they w ill see that since he has been canning a quart a day, thatthe tem perance articles have disappeared from the pages of the Courier. Respectfully submitted, E. H. M orris. Mr. E. H. Morris tells us that up to this time he had not realized that he had so many real staunch friends. Even Democrats are congratulating him by word and through the mails. He asks us to say that he appreciates the motives behind these kindly words, for the people have at last realized that he has been advocating law and order, and the character of his brutal assailant is well known in Davie county.

Rheumatism I have found a tried and tested cure Ior Rheumatism! Nota remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples* nor turn bony growths back to flesh again. That is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease.In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt—I found the. last ingredient with ■which Dr. Shoop’s Sheumatic Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last ingredient, I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism: but now, at last, it uniformly cures all curable cases of this# heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granulaf wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood, seem to dissolve and p as away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. Andthent when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause of Bhemnatism is gone forever. There is now no teal need—no actual excuse to suffer longer with- out help.

SOME THINGS THAT WILL KEEP YOU GRINNING FOR A WEEK. OUR RED-HEADED MAN. As Oland says. I called to see my little didapper Sunday even ing. W hen-I had made myself miserable waiting for her to come in the parlor, and fearful that the old man, her father, would acci dentally drop in before she did, she at last made her appearance. The first words she said, were: “ Dear M r. John, did you know I had turned poet. Afcer admiring yonr beautiful ‘auburn’ hair for the past six months, Iju s t couldn’t help but write a nice little poem about it. Do you wish to hear it l” “ To be sure,” I said. “ W ell listen:” “It is something sweet to see you near, When other folks seem hard to bear, To see, when I falter, your red hair shine, And know, my John, that you are mine,” “ Ob, John, don’t you thiakthat is exquisite!” I gritted my teeth, sent up an humble supplication, and answered, “ yes, dear, your poetical aspirations soar far be yond my most sanguine expecta tions, and my exhuberance over your noble thoughts as expressed in sweet rememberance of your in comprehensible and everlasting a- dorer’s abundant magnitude of un- controlable and never-wished-for red hair, that w ill never lose one iota of its illum inating brilliancy, and my love for poetry w ill never lade and wither, even though the Hoot Owl Special begins to run on schedule time, and your father’s dog ceases to bite.” She fainted I had to have three teeth filled the next day. A small portion of the liars’ club met Saturday night. Ho new business was done owing to the ap pearance of a ghoBt. When a iellow in North Mocks- ville asked his g irl the other night if she had heard the latest, she said yes, the clock had struck one. The prettiest g irl I ever saw in a ll my life , lives in Mocks. Talk about peaches, plums and pears, but they are not half so s veet as she is. The girls are wearing photos of their fellows, instead of mono grams of the presidents. This came straight. He that hath eyes to see, let him see. A g irl has sent me the following note, which caused me to have three spasms: “ Ho g irl is too good to be hug ged. The bible tells us to hold fost to a good thing.” Do you know who that fellow was who was singing that beauti fu l little song in South Mocksville the other night. Itra n like this:' “ Of a ll the sad words ever penned The saddest is, Iinis6edthathen.” Ayoung lady who lives near Mocksville, sent me a message the other day as follows: “ Tell the Hed-Headed Man that I send him all my love and a half-bushel of kisses,” Ihave decided not to get married u n til I see that young lady, for I already love her, and I guess when I see her I ’ll have to borrow the money from Sam Dwig- gins, and get my license. She hasn’t got red hair, though. Owing to the scarcity of news in high society circles, I'd bet er flop., W ill see you again next week. I A friend of ye editor who holds down the Job of punching tickets between Salisbury and Asheville, sent us a Balsam pear the other day. We laid the p u irup in our office for half a day, but the per fume it excluded became unbear able and we moved the said pear to the press room. The sweet and everlasting scent drove the press man away, and we are in a pickle. We are afraid to throw that pear away, for fear some one m ight find and eat it, and there is no house in town large enough to hold us and that pear. We are in bad shape.

It was also his jo yfu l day. Thebusinessthatoccupied his time was greeting a steady stream of pilgrim s. The joyfulness was resultant upon the visit of a delegation of Lincoln negroes, heretofore staunch Republicans, who marched out to Fairview to pledge their support to the Democratic ticket. The visiting negroes carried a banner labelling its followers as members of the negro Bryan and Kern club of Lincoln. W hile M r. Bryan was giving them a hearty welcome and urging them to keep in touch w ith the colored brethren throughout the country, somebody in the house was frying chicken. A picnic lunch was served to the visitors on thelawn,” —Tom Watson’s Jeffersonian Magazine, The Human Hogs. TbeMonroe Journal has some thing to say about the people who take possession of one whole seat in a railroad car—room enough for two—and hold on to it while other passengers stand. This hab it is practiced by a large number of people who consider themselves well-bred, and it is an exhibition of human selfishness. FTo passen ger has any right, as against an other passeoger, to more room in a railroad car than his person oc cupies. But the average man or woman likes a whole seat and do not want a seat-mate unless it be an acquaintance. Any passenger going into a car has a rig h t to plant himself in a seat in which there <b but one person, without asking permission, for he has as much right there as the passenger already there But few people like to thiust themselves in under the circumstances, and so the un fortunates walk up and down the car, looking for kindly faces to offer them room, while the hogs who occupy twice the room to which they are entitled gaze out of the window, up to the car root or at a book or newspaper, livin g ex amples of selfishness and bad mau- ners. The Landmark has always in- aud still insists, that the tlroad company should have on h its trains some person—a por ■ if the conductor can’t do it— hose business it should be at ev- ’ atwtion to seat the passengers, cOmpel those Occupying more tn their share of room to give °m. It’s a duty the railroads ■ their patrons and the man ho will “pass a law” to secure lized traveling public, who do not realize that the seats are to sit- on and the racks and floor to hold bundles. Most traveling men flap down their suit cases on one end of a seat, thereby occupying twice the space paid for. The ladies al ways have a bundle of hat boxes, lunch baskets, umbrellas, etc., which fills up at least half a seat. The m ajority of them are so near sighted that they cannot see the bundle racks, which are attached to cars for their special use. Don’t cuss the conductors or the railroad companies, but rather turn your rig h tfu l indignation on the human hogs who have brought about this state of affairs. A conductor can not compel a max or woman to be courteous and well-bred, when it is contrary to their very nature to be so. THE DEVIL AND BRYAN. The devil came up to the earth one day, When Bryan was ranting in his usual way. The devil listened with wonder and awe, Then said, “ Such a lia r I never saw. Of all the old liars who are in my employ Not one can compare with this wes tern boy. I ’ve practiced lying since the world was made ButBryanthrow sallm ylies in the shade.” Thus the devil spake as he heard the young knave Try to blacken the fame of the good and the brave, So the devil concluded for company’s RaSroad to Tennessee. A company of New York and Philadelphia capitalists has been organized to build a railroad from near W hittier, on the Murphy branch of the Southern railway, up the valley of the Oconalufty river, in a northwesterly direction, into the Great Smoky Mountains and thence across into Tennessee to devierville, in Sevier county, where it w ill connect with the line which is being b u ilt by W.

LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY PAPER EVER PUBLISHED IN DAVIE COUNTY. OUR TICKET. For President, WM. H. TAFT of Ohio. Por Vice-President: JAMES S. SHERMAN, of New York. MOCKSVILLE, N. C., AUG. 27, 1908. SIX TO ONE ON TAFT. For the reason that talk is noto riously cheap, the partisan claims made by one side or the other dur ing a political campaign are quite valueless. The only lim itations upon either’s claim are a desire to avoid making them so absolutely w ild that they w ill gain no credit even from the simplest. I t is part of the game to claim every thing claimable. Where money does the talking, however, talk is not cheap. Any offer of odds w ith a view to influencing senti-. ment deserves no more considera tion than empty assertions, but where the betting public in the country at large has decided that one candidate’s chances are much greater or smaller than his op ponent’s the fact possesses unmis takable significance. Ihe honest minded observer w ith good oppor tunities for observation can give estimates worth more than a ll the partisan talk and partisan money put together, and yet even he al most always regards the betting indications as first in importance. Only where peculiar developments irom peculiarconditions, as in 1884, upset every humanly possible calculation have the gamblers ever.missed it, and they did not miss it far. This being so, the iact that the prevailing odds the country over hung around six to one on Taft possesses undeniable value for the forecaster. Noting a recant bet in Few York at $15,000 to $2,500, The Cleveland Leader, Republican, makes this comparison w ith previous years: ‘ ‘The odds of six to one create a newr record for American history, since the birth of the Republican party, in the way of one-side wagers. ‘‘In 1896 the odds on McKinely were never higher than three to one. The common rate was two to one in the East. In some parts of the West and ths Southitw as possible, occasionally to get even money on Bryan. In 1900 the same conditions existed, as a gen eral rule, M cKinley being the favorite at about three to one, on the average. Some wagers may have gone as high as four to one before the end of the campaign. “ When the Democrats tried their hand in 1904, the bet ting started w ith about two to one on Roosevelt. Later the odds rose to three to one, or even ju st a littlehigherjustbefore the polls opened. I t was evident by that time that Parker had no real chance. “ But six to one, and in mid summer! There is no precedent for such a forecast of a president! al campaign. It is a condition which paints a grim picture of Bryan’s very forlorn hope.” Another indication of this na ture which impresses us as very unhopeful is the fact that M r. Bryan’s letter of acceptance, al though unexpectedly conservative in tone and conveying a definite renunciation of his semi revolution ary programme, was absolutely without effect upon any of the markets. Fo prices went up in consequence—indicating that for practical purposes his chance of election might be considered neg ligible, M r. Bryan may fool ’em ail yet, He is unquestionably much strops ger since his letter of acceptau e than he was before. Demonra a are getting together surprising y well. The situation contains: Il sorts of worry for the Republicar 4. Itisnerertheless true that wh« a the balance of probabilities no .v existing has been struck the point er inclines heavily to M r, Taft. M r. Bryan’s chance is a fighting chance. Our good wishes go w ith him as the campaign advances and the election is so remote that present conditions may be reversed by elect on day.—Charlotte Ob server. Deeply Concerned. A good portion of the Democrat ic press is becoming deeply con cerned over the act of M r. Bryan and his managers in making over tures to those negroes who seem to be displeased w ith the course of President Roosevelt in the Browns ville matter. The Charleston Fews and Courier has sounded a warn ing. I t does not want to see its party placed under obligation to the negro, for. as it argues, “ were the Democrats to elect the Presi dent, they would have in mind the power of the negroes in the north ern states in future elections, and they would be careful to scatter a sufficient number of ‘plnms’ among fhem to keep them satisfied. Once the black man should become a recognized power in the Democrat ic organizations of the northern states they would gradually be able to demand and enforce more generous treatment of their breth- ten in the south from a Democratic President.” The CharlotteChronicle is like wise alarmed. I t declares “ the time has arrived when an explana tion of a ll this business is due. The Democrats of the south should have it, and they ds not want the explanation to come from Josephus Daniels, either. They want it from Colonel Bryan himself.” We assume that the Chronicle wishes to be understood as desir ing to hear from M r. Bryan direct, since it wants to know the truth. As to the converse of this proposit ion—well, we shall let that pass.— Industrial Fews. Who WeAre For. A good democrat asked us the other day who we were for, Bryan. Taft, Watson or the Prohibition candidate. I t was no trouble to answer him . We told him we were for Taft this time. We teach that men shonld be free, and we want to practice what we teach. He seemed surprised. He said he thought we would be for the Prohibition candidate, as we voted for prohibition in May. That is sound reasoning. But why should it apply to us and not to him? W hy shonld it apply to us and not to every democrat even, who veted as we did in May? O f course, we expect Governor Glenn to vote for the prohibition candidate, for if we had canvassed the State and prayed and pleaded and pleaded for the great cause of prohibition and had said those who opposed it were servants hired by the devil, of course, we would have to vote for the prohibition man to be tru th fu l and consistent. We know for those who got up that b ill and then worked for it, to be consistant this fa ll, they must vote the prohibition ticket. If they do not, then - they prove what many of the people belived, viz: that it was hypocritical p o liti cal boost. Then we want our friend to te ll us how the preachers are going to vote. He ought not to expect a mean little editor to have more re ligion and more political consis tency, than the great and good preachers. I t is wash day. When the rest want to put their d irty linen in wash, we are ready.—The Times- Mereury. The Hearst Convention. A full-blooded negro at the Hearst convention made riproar- ing harangue in favor of social equally. The w ell trained pay- rollers cheered the African orator lu stily. -The two Geoigians who were on the stage while the negro was speaking manifested no dis pleasure. They took th e ir med icine d u tifu lly, ju st as the de’e- gates from the other Southern States took theirs at Denver, when the B ryrnite band pranced aronnd the Georgia delegation ‘.playing; Conscience Money Sent to Judge Boyd. Some dozen years ago revenue officers siezed the distillery of John Foust at Liberty, ard the property was placed in the depot for shipment. That night parties broke into the depot and carried it a ll away. Recently a man wrote Judge Boyd, the federal judge at Greensboro, and confessed to hav ing aided two others in stealing the property, and said that he was now converted and wished to make restitution. The Judge advised the man that if he had made peace w ith the Lord, earthly courts Deed not be considered. In reply the man sent $50 in bills Saturday morning, and the following letter: “ August 14, 1908 M r. James £. Boyd. “ Dear S ir:—I take the pleasure in w ritin to you a fiew Lines to let you no that I am well at this time. W ell M r. Boyd the lord has Put this on my heert to send you fifty Dollars for that Whiskey and S till Worms that i help Take out of the Depot at liberty, this is what the lord is laid on my heart, this is one th ird of it, so when the others g it rite w ith the lord they w ill be more and like ly to pay their Part of it this finds me saved and sankfied may Gadsaveand sankfie your sole my prars is going to a ll that in Darkness i promised God that I wood Pay it before he wood save me, so God may bless you and yore in tire famley and a ll hoo it is our D uty to Pray for this finds me well at Present time and exseek (expect) to mind God at any cost, so if you no god you pray for me that I may go on from vic tory to victory this from x x x May God bless you in my prars.

The Gresat Piedmont Fair, Wins ton-Salem, N. C.

Rheumatism I have Toiuid a tried and tested cure for Rheumatism! Not a remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn bony growths back to flesh again. That f& impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. . , , .In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of Bannstadt—I found the last ingredient with which Br. Shoop’s Rheumatic Remedy was made B perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last ingredient, I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; but now, at last, it uniformly cures all curable cases of this! heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granulaf wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood, seemtodissolre and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause of. Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no real need—no Actual excuse to suffer longer with* (mt help.

SOME THINGS THAT WILL KEEP YOU GRINNING FOR A WEEK. OUR RED-HEADED MAN. W ell, by gosh, I w ill write a few more thiDgs that has happened lately, if you boys w ill read them. Some few weeks ago a certain sport of Mocksville went to a certain picnic with his g irl, and when they arrived, the g irl got busy and hunted her up a fellow. The boy held the horse several hours wait ing for the g irl to return. She came after the crowd w'ere leaving, and apologized by saying: “ Dear Eoy, I know you w ill forgive me for being gone so long, when I tell you that I had forgotten all about yon being here.” Blame my red hair if I ain’t go ing to get that North Mocksville g irl if I have to steal her. She’s the one I ’m looking for. She says she has her arms ready to receive me. Gosh, I can hardly keep from taking a dozen fits, just thinking of the time to come when I ’ll do the arm-holding act. W hewIhal- lalnjah happy land. Talk about your ’lasses candy, brown sugar and m int drops, but they are not in it. That g irl is a daisy, darl ing, sugar plumb, peach pie, pine apple sherbet, strawberry icecream magnolia bloom, morning glory, lily of the valley, forget-me-not and all things sweet and good. I ’ ve got a dog named Oscar. He won’t back down from a circle saw, Dad bought the dog to keep John and Gharliefrom wearing the gate hinges off. One of our churchmen owns a mule, and one of his neigh bors had a wart on his leg and a Boman nose. Sam D. told him to pull a hair out of that mule’s ta il and tie it around the wart and it would come oft in two days. The fellow pulled the hair out of the mule’s ta il, and the doctor ’lows that he won’t be able to go out to church in three weeks. Thatmnle kicked him into a Hornet’s nest bigger than a wagon bed. I had rather work in a powder factory than fool w ith a mule. W ill says that a mule and a bank won’t do to trust. The best way to hitch a mule to the wagon i3 to get a nig ger to do the hitching. The Mis souri mule is an American institu tion, but the Spanish mule can telescope his hind legsand is a per feet tornado. The next g irl that says my hair is white w ill have to settle it with Claud and Bufe. I t ’s bad enough to have red hair, but gee whiz! only think of white. I f my dog had white hair, I ’d k ill and ,eat it, iabeling it “ Moore’s H air Invigo rator. I ’m uo pickeled monkey- wrench The Mocksville boys say I ’m sweet enough to eat, but I ’m not ready to be eaten, Claud is rather bashful. He went up street one evening to call on a young lady. H e w e B tto th e door and knocked. The door was opened and there before Claud ap peared the old man, looking thousand things and saying noth ing. Claud had never fe lt so lost for language in his life , and he stood on one foot for five minutes and said: “ Good afternoon.” Thenthe old man said so, too. Claud said, “ Is ah-is-er-ah Miss er-ah, is your daughter at home?” “ Yes, sir,” said the old man. Then standing on both feet. 'Cs sheinf” “ Yes, sir,” said the old mac. not budging a step from the door, and looking as though he was deal ing w ith a book agent. Then Claud stood on his right foot, and after stammering awhile said, “ Does she, er-ah-ean she re ceive company?” “ Yes, sir,” the old man said, coldly. Claud looked up and down the street and sighed a long sigb, then looked up at the old man andshiv- eringly said, “ Can she see me?” “ Yes, sir, if she looks at you she can.” Claud looked across the stieet and said with a trem bling voice, “ W ill you te ll her that Claud called!” “ Yes, s ir,” said he of the stony heart and eagle eye. Claud got off the porch, fe lt his way to the gate and flew. Why James Lee Got Well. Everybody in Zanesville, O., knows Mrs. Mary Lee, of rural route 8.
