AYCOCK IN M0RCANT0N,
HE SPOKE TO A LARGE GATHER
ING ON MONDAY.
Met at the Depot by the Band; Also
by Large Number on Horse back
and on Foot, and Escorted Through
the Town Amid Much Enthusiasm
"A Great Speech.

According to appointment, Hon. Chas.
B. Aycock, Democratic candidate for
Governor of North Carolina, addressed
the citizens of Burke in the Court House
square in Morganton on Monday, the
11th. It was the largest gathering
seen in Morganton since the campaign
opened. A large number of ladies
graced the occasion,
Mr.. AyCOck arrived on the noon train
from the east and was met at the depot
by long line of horsemen andfpeop1e
on foot, with music by the Morganton
Cornet Band. On alighting from the
train Mr. Aycock, amid music, shouts
of the crowd and much handshaking,
was escorted to carriage, and, fol-
lowed by the long procession, was
| driven over the business portion of the
town. In the procession were several
White Supremacy clubs, riding or
marching in body. There were also
many banners with various inccrip-
tons and marsha1s with red bunting
sashes A game cock in a cage on top
of high pole was pleasing feature
of the parade and was carried by a
member of the Oak Forest club.
Mr.. ]. F. Spainhour, in his usual
happy stvle, introduced Mr.. Aycock,
and for two hours the next Governor
of North Carolina received the closest
attention of the large audience. The
speech contained nothing offensive even
to the btterest Republican, but was a
strong, earnest appeal to the west tc
help rid the east of negro domination.
He proved conclusively that no white
man will be disfranchised under the
amendment, completely exploded every
, claim of the Republican pie-hunters (
, the contrary.
It was a great effort by a great mar
| and made votes for the amendment II

He has served five consecutive terms
in the lower branch Of the State legis-
lature and was never known to vote
Tor q doubtful measure, He was, in-
deed, model legislator, He is a eau
didate for railroad commissioner and
ought TO be nominated by acclamation.
If nominated he will be elected by the
largest majority of any candidate on
the Republican ticket, and as railroad
commissioner he would be true to the
interests OF the people and fair to the
railroad companies The name of
Charles F. Staples for railroad com
missioner would add 5000 votes to the

IN this district the fusion forces are
greatly disturbed by the likelihood
that they will be deprived of the SER
vices of G. A. Towne in the coming
campaign. The, nervousness comes
from the difficulty they are experience
ing in securing someone to carry their
banner in the congressional fight,
there being no one who desires to at
tempt to do what Mr.. Towne has twice
failed to do. There is no good reason
for them to worry. G. A. Towne is not
acceptable to the Democrats and will
be wiped off the Democratic ticket
when the national convention meets,
with the promise of something
equally good' if Bryan succeeds. They
may have difficulty, though, in leading
the Duluth man to the shambles for

The latest development in the war

admission: by Mayor Van Wyck that

stock carried for him BY President

fed ',ze II zceourtsathat he borrowed the
a money to buy the stock from the Gar

ofs.the bank denied that he had ever
loaned the mayor a cent, saying that
the latter's note was purchased by the
bank from Mr.. Morse. The next step
IN these. proceedings against the trust
and the city officials involved, is ex-
pected to be the action of the governor

ONE at our elbow asks US what good
has been accomplished by sending mis-
sionaries to China to convert the
heather. There are hundreds of our
people scattered through that country
and their fate is certain-there is not
one yellow hand extended to protect
them. These lives are wasted and ap-
parently for no good. Thousands are
sent out every year and thousands OF
dollars when both the people and the
money would accomplish more real
good right at home rescuing the fallen
and teaching our own people to lead
upright lives. This country is not so
holy as to need no attention.

AN extra session Of congress may be
called to dispose OF the Chinese trouble,
the situation being considered critical.
If war exists in China on account of
the destruction of the United States
legation it will be necessary to send
troops there and as none can readily
be spared from the Philippines addi-
tional troops will be necessary. This
will require the authority of congress.
While mo authentic information has
yet been; 1received it is thought in
official circles that at least one United
States legation has been destroyed and
the minister murdered by the Chinese
revolutionists.

TeacharS' Training SchOO


The Teachers Training school for
Mile Lacs county will open at Prince
ton on the 9th of July, 1900. The in
structors will be, Mr.. G. A. Franklin,
superintendent of the Faribault
schools, Mr.. H. E. White, superintend-
ent OF the Princeton schools, and Mrs.
G. E. Guthrie, an experienced teacher.
1t is believed that these teachers will
make d very efficient corps of instruc-
tors and will make this training
school in the true sense Of the term,
one in which teachers will not only be
advanced in knowledge, but improved
in methods.
Experienced teachers know that the
success of schools depends largely upon
the pupils interest in their work, and
the same may be said of these training
schools, for which the state has so
munifcently provided. The teachers
become pupils and the degree of inter-
est they manifest has a great influence
on the success of the schools.
I am sure that Mile Laos county
teachers are in the foremost rank; let
them keep abreast of the forward
movement in education by embracing
every opportunity for self-improve-
ment. The work in the Teachers
Association during the past year, since
it's organization, while not all that
could be wished for, has shown that a
majority of our teachers are awake to
the responsibilities resting upon them.
These. I wish to thank for the en-
couragement they have given to the
work. Others, in order to preserve
their professional standings as given
in their state certificates, and keep IN
the ranks must come forward and, by
assuming their share of the work and
pursuing with others the studies out
lined, show the desire for self-improve-
ment which is necessary adjunct of
all successful teaching.
Teachers of adjoining counties may
attend the school, as there will un-
doubtedly be room for all who wish to
do So. Any of these may procure the
programme and circulars about to be
issued by requesting same of me.

IF the Republicans really need
Roosevelt as a candidate for vice presi-
dent and nominate him against his
wishes, the leaders should see to it
that ne is not buried at the end of his

fall he should be rewarded four years

representation was divided, the issue
should amount to something. It has
no weight whatever. Our senators are
to go to Philadelphia partly because it
is proper to send them, and partly be-
