SATURDAYS CONVENTION.

The large attendance upon the
Democratic Comfy Convention on
Saturday, with representation from
every section of the County, and the
searnestness and harmony and en-
thusiasm that prevailed should in
spire with hope every lover of good
government.
1t was the biggest Democratic Con
vention ever held in Forsyth and it
was thoroughly Democratic in its
proceedings, every delegate exercising
the right to vote as he deemed best
in the selection of candidates for the
various offices, affording a striking
contrast to the Republican Gonven-
ti0ns. which are Usually run by the
bosses and the delegates required to
endorse the ready made slate fixed
up by the bosses.
The Convention did it's work well
and along the lines Of the Demo-
cratic doctrine of government of the
people, by the people and tor the
people. The cket placed in DOmina-
ton is a strong one and ought to be
elected. Each nominee, if elected,
will make an efficient officer. More
over, these citizens have become the
standard bearers of the party of
good government and white sUprem-
acy and should receive the loyal sup
port Of every voter who believes in
the principles for which they stand.
We feal satisfied that our 81 a 1dard-
b arers will wage an aggressive cam
aign, but in order to make their
efforts most effective there must be
thorough organization at every
voting precinct in the county. The
iss us at stake are too vital to the
welfare of the people to leave any
duty unperform med that will tend to
lit the cloud that now hangs over
the State. Let us go in to win. Let
Us do our part in the grand work of
removing existing evils and threat
enpd caIamities and of restoring
good government to North Carolina
Let every voter of Forsyth who
desires 10 participate in this great
and patriotic work rally To the sup
port Of the splendid ticket nomi-
mated hy the Democratic County
Convention last Saturday.

Crafty n Wish.
A teacher in one of the schools of Upper
Montclair, N. j., asked each of her scholars to
write original story ola trip to the moon
and to complete it in 15 minutes. Following
is the story selected as tie best submitted at.
the expiration of the time The author e
only Il years of age.1
When 1 was but little girl, a.
ways wanted to take trip to the moon
and see that dear, kind old man who
grinned from ear to ear when | was
good, and when l was bad scowled SO
that his face turned all black SO that we
couldn't see him. Then he would shed
such tears that he would keep me in
the house for some time.
One night, the night of my eleventh
birthday. was thinking of this dear
old fellow. | was looking out of my
window and thinking what happy day
it had been-everybod seemed to be SO
kind to me-and thinking how nice it
would be to take trip to the moon to
end this happy day when suddenly the
room grew misty and cold. Then as
suddenly as the mist came it vanished,
and there right before my eyes what do
you think saw? 1t is hard to believe,
l know, but what should I see but four
beautiful fairies all decked with roses,
and stars had stuck to them when they
came through the sky! All of them bore
one basket. That, too, was covered with
stars. There was dead silence, and
then the first fairy spoke and said:
"Our master, the moon. says thy wish
shall be granted So jump in this bas-
ket :" l felt little timid at first, but
then l gathered up my pluck and jump
ed in.
The fairies then stretched their gauzy
wings, took one stroke, and found my
self skimming through the air. In less
than, oh, 1 don't know how long l
found myself in hailing distance of that
dear old man, the moon. But the fairies
stopped with jerk before they let me
any nearer, and the second fairy said,
1--WE will leave you now, for our mas
ter, the moon, has something to say to
you before you can go near enough to
enter his majesty's grounds. -
The fairies then left me alone, and the
moon, with a smile, said in a tremen-
dous voice: $50 you have come to seq

men as honest, as sincere,

course and failed. [ speak from a
sad and bitter experience. In 1884 L
voted with the the Liberals in this
State. | did not count on the GER
tainity of drifting into the RepublI-
can party. Such an idea was repul-
sive to me. l would have resented
such an imputation and denounced
it,
Mr.. Winston then told that in
1890 he found himself seeking the
nomination for Judge at the hands OF
party composed of ninety per cent.
of negroes. He said be did not deny
writing such letter as he is charged
with writing at that time. He was
seeking negro support, he said, "and
no man then or now, can gain any
negro support without yielding to
them" In July, 1890, he secured
the coveted nomination. What
followed is here told in Mr.. Winston's
words:
sIn August, 1890, feeling the
humiliation of my position, as every
white man in Eastern North Carolina
must do who belongs to the party,
and recognizing the loss in self
respect to myself, as the price of my
Republicanism, and seeing every
avenue to promotion in that party
closed to every white man who did
not bend to the negro, | declined the
nomination and quit the party, as L
advise every self respecting white
man belonging to it to do, as duty
he owes to himself and his race.
From that hour [ have labOred to
mend the wrong | did myself and my
family and my race by that political
connection. 1t was brief, but it was
bitter. l beg you, my fellow citizens,
not to go to the Republican party,
because l was once in it. -
Having committed an error, Mr..
Winston adopted the frank, manly
and patriotic course, by renouncing
the error and striving to make repa-
ration, and for eight years he has
been devoting his talent to the in
terests of the Democratic party
which alone can give good govern
ment, white mans control and pros
perity to North Carolina. The Dem
ocratic party welcomes all such, and
many this year, Disguised with the
intolerable condition imposed upon
us by fusion rule, will do what Mr..
Winston did eight years ago-quit
the gang that is responsible for the
degradation.

Seed OF Corn 5000 Years OH.

Harrodsburg (Ky.) Sayings.
Three or four years since an Indian
mound in Arkansas was being
excavated, when an earthen Jar was
found, Theoretically sealed, that con-
tanned II small quantity of grains of
Indian corn. Some of the grains
we're the next year planted in
Missouri, and several bushels raised.
On the top of the mound from which
the jar was dug out a large tree four
feet in diameter was growing, and it
is thought the corn lay buried about
3 600 years. Squire James L Neal,
one of our most prosperous and
progressive farmers, sent and pro
cured a small quantity of the corn,
paying over cents grain. This he
plated last year, but the yield was
small on account of the drought
H. saved enough, however, to get in
a good patch this year. He has
u~ed it tor roasting ears, and says it
is the best he ever had The ears are
not large, but grow two to three on
y single stalk. The one thing pecu-
Ii IT about this corn is it's color, or
rather cOlOrs. On the same cob are
grains Of different colors, and in the
row you can tidd an ear that is white,
another blood red, one salmon
coiored, a I'd another perfectly black.
