fies tho G~oldsboro Democracy-Blood
Drawn In n "Play'' Duel on the stage

Correspondence of the Messenger.l
Goidsboro. N. c.. October 90.
Claude Kitchin spoke to an overflow
ing house here last night. Many could
not gain admittance. He fully sus-
tanned in this speech the reputation
already made as one OF the states best
speakers. Many regard the speech as
being one of the best ever delivered
here. He held his audience as few
men can and was accorded frequent
bursts of applause. His picture OF the
hypocrisy of the present administration
on the trust question was finely drawn.
His presentation of imperialism, Its
dangers and it's horrors was a master
piece. His effort for the man rather
than the dollar and his proposition:
Who shalN haul down the flag? was so
timely and pretty in thought and con-
ception as to suggest to several the
thought that il Mckinley could nave
heard ii he would have been converted
from the error IF his ways. There
were a large number of ladies present.
Our people are more than ever con-
WINGED of the wisdom of the convention
in placing their ann in the hands of
the brave and brilliant young man
from Halifax, our own well furnished
Claude Kitchin of whom We will be
prouder still as our representative In
next congress. So chaste and
such a speech lifts up a community
was the remark of an elderly gentle
man who heard Claude Kitchin last
night. He tells no jokes; he holds as
by magic, so great is the mah's person
al magnetism.
In the scene of the first duel in the
play of the 1.-TWO Orphans" at the
opera house last night, there was. blood
split by the vanquished but fortunately
the large audience gathered were ig-
norant of the fact; hence there was no
excitement. 1t was but an accident
n after all, while painful. Ii was only
a flesh wound. The play a. presented
by the Palmer New Year Stock Com
pany was creditable as was evidenced
by the crowd growing wild at times In
applause. They close Saturday night

They developed a strong position, oc-
cupied by about 400 riflemen, and 1000
bolomen, under command of Juan Viii
lamor, a subordinate of Timos A des-
perate fight ensued. which was most
creditable to the force, though, under
heavy pressure Of overwhelming num-
bers, our troops were compelled to re-
turn to Harvican. which was accom-
plished in a tactical, orderly me
Acting Assistant Surgeon Bath and
a civilian teamster captured early in

One Youth shoots Another

Last night about 10 o'clock there was
a shooting scrape in the southern part
Of h city, near Kidder's mill. A par
ty of youths were engaged in a crap
game, and Rudolph Herbert was shot
in the foot by John Armstrong. The
shooting was done with a pistol, but
young Armstrong claims that it was
accidentally done; that he was hand
ling the weapon and it went of.
Armstrong was arrested and COM
mitted to the guard house. The boy
who was shot was attended to by q
surgeon. He makes no statement as to
whether the shooting was an accident
or not. -

False Reasoning OF the Carr Men
Wilmington. October q.

NtAs o@AoO@A So
Editors Messenger:
The argument for Mr.. Carr as pre-
Senfed by Mr.. Bryant seems to be two
fold. and about his:
Mr.. Carr, though a poor boy, has
has made much money and given some
OF 1t TO worthy objects. therefore he is
an able man and fit to De senator: to
which IL may be answered. that Rookie
Teller, or Duke, though poorer, have
made more and given more: are they
therefore ADLER n more At to be SEN
ators?
Again. George Washington. Mr.. Glad
stone and James G. Blaine were not
lawyers n were statesmen. Mr.. Carr
Is not a lawyer therefore he Is a states
man. To which It nay be re5oined:
Pener, OF Kansas. and Marion Butler.
OF North Carolina, were not lawyers,
ano were pretty poor excuses for SEN
ators, Nj. Carr fs no lawyer, therefore
We a better go slow in making him
senator.
But. candidly. isn't it funny for an
intelligent man to seriously argue fha.
because men like WASHINGTON, Glad
stone. Bismarck and Count cayeur,
men profoundly versed in the philoso-
pny OK law and the history Of govern
ments were not practitioners Of Law.
therefore any moderately successful
business man who has given no evil
dence SO far as known Of possessing
any acquaintance with The constitu-
Ton principles upon which this gov
rnmen Is founded. or. with the his
tory and philosophy of governments
generally. would be a suitable repre-
sentative OF this state in the senate at
his time, when, apparently, we are
about to enter into entirely new fields
OF governmental activity. and the oues-
tions arising require the very highest
and best trained ability to adequately
deal with them2

Questions
for


If you were offered sure aid in time
of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
IF you saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
you ignore it to try some insecure and
tottering structure =?
The answer to these questions Is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothiag in useless expert
ments.
Why, then, do some women rsl. one
of their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines of
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them?
Lydia E. PinAham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test of years. 1t
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world, and nothing
could have given it this salesexcept its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments, but buy
what is Known to be reliable. Mrs
Pinkham's Compound can do all that
is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to it can be easily verified
Write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn. Mass
