A.D. JONES FOR SPEAKER.
Rocky Mt. PhoeniX.]

Among the notable candidates for
Speaker Of the next House, We see
prominently mentioned the name of A.
D. Jones, Of Raleigh He is the same
sterling Democrat, who achieved a phe-'
nomenal triumph in Wake county some
years ago, being elected Treasurer over
great edds-the only Democrat elected
in Wake that year, we believe.
Mr.. Jones is eminently qualified to
WELD the gavel Of authority in the House.
He is young man of first class natural
abilities, versed in Parliamentary usages
of a judicial cast of mind, fair, i'm
partial, courteous, firm and decided.
Progressive and enthusiastic, he Is a
ine type of the young Democracy of the
Old North State, and we would be glad
to see him elected to the chair Of our
next House A lawyer by profession,
though brought up on the farm and
largely identified with the agricultural
interests, he would be a splendid rep,
resentative of the true blue Democracy.
Buck Jones is the man.

A GREAT REVIVAL.
An Account of the Great Meeting in
Louisbufs Conducted BY Evangelist
Eifa
(Cor. STATE CHRONICIFl

r.
LOUIsBURG, n. G, Dec. 4.-Mr. W.P.
File, the evangelist, came to this place
by invitation, and commenced a meeting
on Sunday, the 23d of November. and
closed OF Wednesday night, the 81 of
this mouth. His congregations from
the first meeting was very large, averag-
ing, suppose, 5000 listeners, and he
neld the undivided attention of these
large assemblies at every letting. Not
Oy any rhetorical or ethical disQuisitions,
cut he stood up as herald for the Mas
ter, not etfectlng any style or words Of
DIS own. but guided with the whole ar
mour or God, he earnestly delivered his
message, neither taking from or adding
CO. He preached the pure gospel Of
Christ, taking the Bible for his
guide and chart, sustaining any PROPOSE
tlon by numerous quotations from Gods
Word. As an instrument in the hands
OF God, he succeeded in persuading
many sinners to accept Christ, and
many who had wandered away were
drawn back into the fold. There we're
about 115 converts who gave their
names to the different churches for
membership, as follows: Forty eight to
the Methodist Episcopal, 81 to the Bap-
tlst, 19 to the Episcopal and 5 to the
Presbyterian, while a number were un-
decided as TO what church they would
JOIN. Largely over hundred who had
been Christians, but had wandered from
the fold, were reclaimed. About sew
enty families promised to erect the
family altar, and fully four hundred
men pledged themselves not to drink
ardent spirits as a beverage, and would
use every effort to break up the liquor
traffic. Our people showed their
appreciation Of Mr.. Fife by presenting
him with a purse of $1,000 $154 was
also collected on Thanksgiving day for
the orphan asylums of the State; besides
there was large incidental collection
raised. His Bible man informs me that
he sold 175 Bibles here and a large
number Of song books, and Little Helps
for Workers" &c.
Mr.. Fife goes from here to his home
in Fayetteville, where he will rest till
after the Christmas holidays
His next appointment is for Norfolk.
He leaves here with the blessing of
this entire people going with him. Truly
ne has won all hearts in Louisburg.
After next Monday there will be
three trains day to this place, SO that
those wishing to visit Your city can leave
here in the morning and spend the day,
returning g-reach here about 8 o'clock D.

Mr.. w. H. Furman, most estima-
BILE and worthy citizen and druggist,
died last night after brief illness OF
dropsy of the heart. Near the same
hour one Of our Oldest inhabitants, Mis-:
, Francis Arrendall, died of paralysis.

FOR SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE,

< Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNIcLE.l
Among the men whose names are
mentioned in connection with the Speak
ership in the next General Assembly,
no one is worthier of that honorable po
sition or better fitted to discharge the
duties thereof than r. A. Doug hton, of
Allegheny county. This will be his third
term in the House. Though a modest
man he soon became recognized in 1887
as one of the safest and most faithful
members Of that Legislature. In the AS
semb'y of 1889 he added to his reputa-
ton and was easily one of the most in
hueutial leaders in that body. AS ex
perience increased he became bolder, and
il is doub, full if there was man in the
last General Assembly who influenced
legislation more than be did, No man
ever served with him who would not say
that he was wise, progressive and use
full legislator.
He was frequently called to the
chair by the Presiding officers,
both in 1887 and in 1899 He was so ac-
| ceptable in that position that he was
made chairman of the joint Democratic
caucus of the Senate and House IN which
| a Senator was nominated.
He served as chairman Of one Of the
most important committees in the House
and was prominent in the work Of a num-
ber of permanent and special committees.
Wherever he served be was eminently
acceptable to all his colleagues Though
a red hot Democrat, he is liked by the
Republicans even. He has the profound
respect Of all men who low him.
Besides his ability to make himself &C
ceptable to his colleagues, Mr. Doughton
has a good record as legislator He has
always been with the people. His
vote for the Railroad Commission and
his fight for public education showed
him to be in sympathy with the people
and their interests. Nor does he assume
this position for the sake of poll
tical promotion. He was reared on the
farm, and his people are among the
|, most successful farmers in Allegfany
county. His father is President Of th'
CountyAlliance. Mr.. Doughton's interests
: aud feelings and the peoples are identi
cal, and it is natural that his recor(
: should be what we find it. He is law
yer of ability and has good practice
{ Every time he comes before the peopl
his majority increases and the vote he re
d ceived in the last election was the larges
t ever given to man in his county.
: The Speaker of the House ought to b
|. man with no bitter prejudices; ma
r who does not take extreme positions;
t man of dignity and firmness; man c
} broad sympathies; man who is toleran
/ and respectful to other peoples opinion
Q while strictly adhering to his own; a ma
,, who will command the respect of tn
u Democrats and Republicans; man VIII
:. will be acceptable to the masses OF tn
people and the professional men as wei
aman of the HIGHEST PRIVATE AND POLL
ICAL INTEGRITY.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if Mr.. Doughto
does not fill this bill, who does?

END OF AN HONORABLE SER
VICE.
(Asheville Citizen

The last court Of the fall term of the
circuit Of the Twelfth judicial District is
now in session for Buncombe county,
and with this court terminates the Judi
cial career Of Judge Frederick Phillips;
for he was not a candidate for re-elec-
ton in the general election held last
month.
1t is with regret that we part with
Judge Phillips. He was bright exam
pie in his personal character Of that re-
demption of the bench from the degra
dation into which it was plunged
through that fearful disregard Of moral
and mental attibutes characteristic of
the rief but memorable accendancy at
tanned by the Republican party after ths
dark days of reconstruction. Through
that ascendency the bench of North
Carolina fell from its high estate. Re
vered once for the high moral tone of its
Judges, respected for its learning, its
purity and its impartiality, it for awhile
fell into a disrepute that brought the
bench and the law into disgrace. There
is no more difficult achievement in hu-
man effort than the effort to restore de-
based public sentiment to once lofty
standard of uprightness and dignity,
because human nature is prone to foster
and cling to that which harmoniz9s with
and INDUCES it's infirmities. The yirtu-
Gus, in such abasement, lose hope and
courage; but the vicious enjoy the free
rein given to their lawlessness. In stem.
ming a tide which seemed to have set in
with resistless force, the Democratic
| party had the encouragement of that
element of purity and infexible honest y
which is at the foundation of ything
| North Carolinian. Therefore, step by step
in the renovation of the judiciary, wheth
er by popular election, or by executive
appointment to vacancies, the object ha:
been attained, and the bench agaiI
stands high in popular reverence and con
sideration. And there is no man more
marked for popular respect and gooC
will than Judge Phillips. We do no
speak of his legal attainments, Which
without question are large and shining
because we have had small opportunit.
of measuring them. But we can speal
with the fullest commendation ant
knowledge of the purity of his life, tn
urbanity of his manner, the impartialit
of his conduct, and Of all those persona
qualities which win popular confidenc
and approval He retires with the reput
of good, just, humane judge, and re
spected.
We bid him farewell with sincere re
gret, and wish him in his retirement th
abundant favors of q kind fortune.

PUBLIC EDUCATION.

No man or woman who heard the ad.
dresses on Public Edec ,tion yesterday
by Prof EDWIN A. ALDERMAN and State
perintendent FINGER will doubt that
the most important legislation needed
by the people is legislation to provide
longer terms and better teachers for our
pcbic schools.
Aaj. FINGER did not go into the dis
c0ssion at length, but contented him
SELF nth cienching the arguments made
eni with few wise and
weighiy reflections. The address
of =, lessor ALDERMAN was simply
magniicent. AS an argument, the ad-
ise,s was strong and foccible and con-
Yjacing. As an elegant and polished
literary production, 1t was gem.
Bright, witty, elegant and faultless in
diction, it was literary treat that could
not fail to please oil lovers of English
undefiled." HIS plea for the children
for all the children was heart-moving
and not few eyes were moist.
We shall not attempt any synopsis OF
the admirable address. The CHRONICLE
| hopes that PROF.. ALDERMAN will deliver
1t without crossing st" or dotting ar
81" during the session of the Genera
Assembly. No member could hear il
and then fail to make better provision
for the children of our glorious State.

people would have the same protection

The record shows that the total of
state, school and county tax this
year is one mill less that in 1884,
and five mills higher than eight
years ago. The state laws fix the
state and school taxes, 30 that the
republican party is only responsible
for the county tax. The county levy
is two and fourteenth mills less than
in 1884. and two and q half mills
higher than eight years ago. Now
very few will recall when This
county had n democratic govern
ment. In % years the democrats
have succeeded once In awhile In
slipping in IA county officer but
never were solely responsible for
what Mr.. Taylor calls "a successful
administration" The state admin
istration has been mixed one since
1873 when the democrats were in
control of the state. Of course for
state taxes Marion county republi-
cans are not to blame
1t is certain that as the county
fills up and more farming land is
opened there will be ali increase of
the expenses for roads. bridges,
paupers, criminals, etc. Mr.. Taylor
will not pretend that taxes must not
be increased some TO meet these in
creased legitimate expenditures, that
almost always increase out of the
ratio of increased valuations of tax
able property as the community
grows older. We do not believe Mr..
Taylor intended t. misstate the
facts, but his inference above is a |
one.
