TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
The Quarter Centennial of Ed
wards and Broughton.
SUCCESSFUL FRI
For Years the Largest Printing
House in the State.

Sketch of the Rise of the WelI-Known
Establishment and the Business
Career of Its Founders and Present
Owners--YesterdaY the Anniversary.
Yesterday, twenty-five years ago the
firm of Edwards and Broughton flung
their banner for public patronage to
the breeze. Both of these gentlemen
being practical printers felt NO uneasi-
ness as to the success of their under
taking.
During the reconstruction days The
Standard newspaper, owned by w, W.
Holden, was purchased by Mr.. M. >.
Littlefeld. The building in which the
paper was published was found too
small for the great paper which the
new manager desired to issue, there
fore lot on Fayetteville street, be-
tween Davie and Cabarrus streets was
secured and one of the best arranged
buildings for large printing house was
erected, and the commodious building
now occupied by the News and Obser-
yer, was built and the Standard plant,
largely augmented by the purchase of
a first-class book and job Office and
binding plant, was moved into it.
The Standard failing to receive the
financial support to sustain such a
paper, about 1870 the paper suspended.
The plant remained intact just as the
printers left their Sticks and the
binders their ''tubs" until during the
month of August, 1871, when c. b. Ed
wards and n, B. Broughton conceived
the idea that there was room in our
city for another job office. After nego-
tiations with the then owner, Major
w. A. Smith, of Johnston county, the
Book and Job Department was pur-
chased and passed into the possession
of the new firm. of Edwards and
Broughton. Much of the type was
found to be of '.old style" and much
worn. These gentlemen selected the
best FONTS" of type for use, and the
rest. was shipped to New York as old
metal and exchanged for new and up
to-date material; upon receipt of which
they were at their tease" ready for
any work that might come in. The
first job was rendered by Mr.. John
r. O'Neal, at that time connected with
the office of Register in Bankruptcy.
From this small beginning their
business gradually grew until it be-
came necessary for them to employ
additional force and Mr.. John w. Mar
com was given a ''sit'' in the office. 1t

discretion of the government" This
was the money plan of re-organlzed
Democracy.
Mr.. Kluttz resented the term AM
archism as applied to interference OF
the general government into State ana
of government by injunction. lie sad
we had had a recent illustration OF gov
eminent by injunction, in the decision
of the Federal Judge (Simonton) VINO,
however, afterward saw his mistake
and admitted it. (Applause). lie did
not apologize for the structures on the
Supreme Court, saying that the income
tax law was constitutional for fully
a week, until one Judge under the blan-
dishments of power Che would not say
corruptionl had seen fit to change MS
mind. We should have judges there
who are not ready to change their
minds in jiffy, on great constitutional
questions. (Applause). He was not
sectional; he was loyal, but took occa-
sion to refer to the part New York
State took against the Declaration OF
independence, and to the part that sec
ton of the country was taking now In
denouncing us as Anarchists, that part

Good Democrats should bow to the
will of their party as expressed by
majority. Mr. Kluttz exhorted all to
be staunch as good soldiers, standing
fast to and for the old ship. The
Democrats had other missions to per-
form, and other bonds of sympathy
with some of the South, whether they
were for gold or silver.
He did not see how any Democrat
could read the abuse heaped upon the
Democracy by the goldbugs and vote
for that party. He did not see how a
Democrat could read the preamble of
the Mckinley platform and vote
against the Democracy.

lima for Cy. Watson. Great and pro

was willing to forgive long enough to

Mai. TIL. L. Grant, of Goldsboro, who

claims that Dockery was trapped, and
explains the situation thus:

"That Dockery was determined to de-
feat Judge Russell in his election as
Governor of North Carolina, we all
knew; that he entered into the equiv

publican and nominee of the PopuIist
party is also believed. The Republican
committee knew that if it endorsed
the Republican ticket with DockeTy, it
would compel him to come out from
his cover and say what he was. 1t 10y
al to the Rpublican party, he would
prove false to his contract with the
Populists and would forfeit their sup

list, he would be a traitor to his own
party-he who for years has posed as
the Republican War Horse of the Pee
Dee and the colossal column upon
which the party rested, and who but a
few days ago received the loyal and
loving support of as true friends as the
ambition of any man could desire. Who
