Mr.. Joe Daniels who once profess
ed to stand for good government,
who once advocated justice and
helped to resist the encroachment Of
monopoly, has evidently gotten his
sense of manhood and justice badly
warped at the Cleveland gold bug
"pie counter" In the last issue Of his
paper he says;
1.-The good men who have been
leaning toward the Populist party
will not vote that ticket when they
reflect that, in the light of recent
elections, that party showed no
strength"
In the first place Mr., Daniels states
an untruth. The Peoples party
made large gains everywhere in the
late elections. But suppose it had
not, would "good men" who believe
that the Peoples party was right al
low that to cause them to vote for a
party that they knew is wrong? Mr..
Daniels would evidently follow this
cause but "good men" will not.
Brave, true men with honest convic-
tons do not stampede and run after
the ways of unrighteous even if a ma
jority should happen to do so for'the
time being. Mr.. Daniels simply
pictures and condemns his own tend
ency to flop by his own language.

PROOF CONCLUSIVE.

PROOF CONCLUSIVE.
Mr.. Whateley shows by the EVIL
dence of the supervisors, as well as
by the sworn testimony of hundreds
of witnesses that In many of the pre-
cincts in the Fifth District of Alaba-
ma at the last congressional election,
the Democratic election officers did
not make any return of the vote or
else they purposely neglected to COM
ply with some requirement of the law
or they did not appear at the polling
place at all.
For instance, in the election pre-
cinct in Macon county, commonly
called Tuskegee, at box No. /, 36S
votes were cast for Whateley and 60
fer Cobb, and in box 2, l6 votes were
cast for Whateley and 246 for Cobb,
giving Whateley majority of rs in
the precinct.
But the election officers made no
return whatever of the votes. In
precinct No. 3 the same thing was
done, no return being made of the
vote. In precinct No. 4 the return
was not made out properly, purpose
ly, and the canvassing board threw
the votes out, refusing to allow any
correction or to receive any evidence
in the matter.
That thing went on in that way
all over the district. Wherever Cobb
had a majority in precinct the re-
turns were properly made. But
where he was in the minority the re.
turns were either improperly made OF
not made at all, and at numerous
precincts the regularly appointed
election officers did not appear to
hold an election and IN every such
case it was precinct where the Dem.
ocrats were in the minority.
Many of the United States Super
visors who swear to this state OF
things were Democrats and so swear
in their testimony.
The case perfectly illustrates the
Democratic machine methods of con.
Quoting elections and counting ma.
jorities. They speak of it Boosting
ly. The practice was originally re-
sorted to to count out the negro, but
it answers the same purpose in count
ing in a machine Democratic wher
the contesting candidate is not Re
publican but a Popullst or anti-ma
chine Democrat.
How long the white people in the
South who are in revolt against cor.
rupt machine methods will submit,
to this condition of things remains
to be seen.

RevL.De. Charles F. Deems, pastor
OF. the Cnurch of the Strangers" OF
New YORK. died at his home IN that
eity on last Saturday night He
was well known in this State, and
his many friends here and through
oot the country wi hear of his
death with genuine s. rev. Several
months ago he was sIl.eken with
paralysis, and has been gradually
sinking since that time.
He was born in Baltimore Decem-
Der the 9Th, 1920. After graduating
at a college in Pennsylvania he was
licensed Gs a Methodist preacher.
He was soon appointed general
Agent of the American Bible Socl-
eta, and selected North Carolina as
his field for work. a few years la
ter he was appointed assistant Pro
fessor of logic and rhetoric at the
University of North Carolina. At
ter filing this place for five years he
was elected Professor of Natural
Science Of Randolph Macon College,
Virginia. He soon left this place TO
accept position as President OF
Greensboro Female College, North
Carolina. In 1854 he resigned this
place to enter the MINISTRY; he soon
went to New York, however. and
started a church paper known as
THE Watchman." This project
soon failed and he began preaching
in a chapel IN New York. Commo-
dore Vanderbilt gave HIM fifty thou
sand dollars to build the "Church OF
the Strangers This was to be
kind of ectarian, Independent
church, and in that DIR. Deems has
continued to preach. He has written
and published several books VIZ,
The Home Alter "What Now,
"Analysis of Southern Methodlsm,
Life of Jesus" Gospel of Common
Sense etc.
At one time he was pastor of the
Methodist church in Goldsboro. He
was a man of considerable force anC
learning, and independent and orlgl
nal ideas.
Another road congress was IN ses
sion IN Raleigh recently. 1t wa
called by Gov. Carr. Now the ques
ton arises, who sent the delegates
who paid their expenses and wEon
did they represent. We see the fol
lowing officers reported: DIR. Il. }
Crevard of Mecklenburg, president
W. F. kornegay of Wayne, vice-pres
ident; J. A. Holmes, secretary AM
treasurer. 1t is called the "Publl
Road Association of North Carroll
na." OF course the people would b
benefited by better roads, but is i
not paternalism to have the govern
ment to improve them? Would
not be best to turn the whole matte
over to private corporations, let then
fix up the roads as they see tit an
then charge the people as much tol
as they want? Public roads an
railroads ought to stand on the sam
footing.

In one of the best known restaurants
in this city few weeks ago there was
seated at table enjoving hearty lunch
we'll known physician and we'll known
lawyer. When the feast was about ended
the physician, rubbing the region of his
stomach covered by the lower part of his
vest, said: 'sI'm out of order down here.

we'll known young surgeon of this city,
who has reputation for skill and ra-
pidity in the use of the knife), and have
my stomach cut open to see what's the
matter" The lawyer was amazed, aud
unwilling to take the doctor at his word,
asked him what he really meant.
tWhy," said the doctor, 81 mean what

stomach is by opening il and finding out
what's the matter. That's what surgery
is coming to. 1t will be the regular
practice in few years-indeed, it is
frequently done now. They used to
think it was certain death to expose the
bowels. but they've got over that. I am
in medicine, but not in surgery, but
know what the surgeons are doing, and
even now they take out a mans bowels,
fix them up again, and put them back all
right. ."-St. Louis Globe. Democrat.

TIE Tale Of the Telepho ,e.

The first telephone that was ever used
was not electrical. nor was it scientific
instrument in any sense Of the term. A
little more than fifty years ago the em-
ployes of large manufa' y beguiled
theil leisure hours by kite. dng. Kites
large and small went up daily, and the
strife was to see who could get the
largest. The twine which held them
was the thread spun and twisted by the
ladies OF the village.
One day to the tail of the largest kite
was attached kitten, sewed in can
vas bag, with netting over the mouth
to give it air. When the kite was at its
greatest height, some 200 feet or more,
the mewing of the kitten could be dis
tinctly heard by those holding the string.
To the clearness of the atmosphere was
attributed the hearing Of the kittens
voice. This is the first account we re-
member OF speaking along line.-

O1e of the most prosperous industries
in Paris is the sale and disposal of horse
fesn for food. There are in the city of
Paris 180 shops for the sale of horseHesh,
and in the course of this year more than
81 900 horses, sixty-one mules and 275
donkeys have been killed and eaten by
the Parisians. The most singular point
about this traffic is that the price of the
flesh is equal to that of good beef, 90
cents pound. 1t is only fair, however,
to add that two-thirds of this meat has
been converted into sausages, so that il

Some Curious Punishments.

During the time of Richard l., and by
the advice and consent of that monarch,
the British Parliament promulgated some
strikingly original codes for the main
tenauce of order on his Majesty's fleet.
Thus, il any seaman killed another on
shipboard he was to be bound face to
face with his victim by means of stout
thongs "of not less than three-p ply" the
living and dead bundle to be thrown
overheard together. Any man who
MANNED another, the same having been
done with malice intent, was ordered to
be served in like manner as his victim.
One section of this law read as follows: !:
.sHe who draws bloude from another by
wilful blow struck, he that blow struck
with weapon or with hee's hand only,
must lose the hand with which the wound
was inflicted; hand blow that causes
no bloude to flow must be punished by
ducking the offender thrice. st. Louis

She Remembers Her Newsboy Friend.

"There is young man in Mobile,
Ala.," said Colonel Robert McEachin, of
Winchester, Va, "who has cause to re-
member Amelie Rives, the writer, twice
a year. When the now distinguished
lady was little girl and lived in that
city, she became fondly attached to a
newsboy who cried out his papers every
morning in the neighborhood in which
she lived. They met one day aud friend
ship sprang up between them that has
lasted to the present time. After the
boys stock of papers were sold in the
morning he would call for the pretty
little blue-eyed miss and they would take
long strolls down Froscute road, pluck
ing the orange blossoms and the magno-
liza blooms. They soon got to be fami>
liar figures on Government street, as they
would walk along that busy thorough
fare with the young girls head garlanded
with wreaths of beautiful flowers and the
little boys arms filled with vines and
evergreens. Then Miss Rives moved far
away into Virginia, but she never forgot
her newsboy friend, for it was her custom
almost daily to write him, telling how
sadly she missed the walks and strolls,
his joyous, sunny face aud the music Of
his boyish laughter. doubt If Mrs.
Chanler, as she now is, ever wrote love-
lier or more poetic or passionate sem
tences than those she used to send in her
letters to her newsboy sweetheart. The
boy met with misfortune some yaars
ago which crippled him for life. He is
poor, but his purse is twice a year re-
plenished by postoffice order from Mrs.
Chanler. One of these arrives IN Mobile
on his birthday, which is in June, and
the other on Christmas Day."-St. Louis
Republic.
