Did not deputy marshals buster and
threaten?
Were not white men. State registrars,
dragged before petty Federal officials on
charges sworn to by negro minors, nom
residents and convicts. and bound over to
the Federal Court? These things were
done. William Mckinley knew it all He
had taken solemn and binding oath to
uphold the civil service laws. One word,
whisper, from him, would have stopped
those outrages. He was silent. He al
lowed a sovereign State to be insulted.
for that he was to be the beneficiary OF
the wicked act. He has never punished
his Federal parasites and satellites He
never will punish them. They but did his
will. The charge is that he has taken the
side of the Southern black man against
the Southern white man in every contest
that arose between them.
Does the allegation fit the proof?
Those who desire to do so. can vote for
the full dinner pail" The Democratic
party Of North Carolina will repudiate
him and all his works.

From old Virginia S border-line
His printing wares he carried
Finding freedom of press and mind,
In Newbern fair he tarried.
In silver buckles. silken hose,
Piled he his printing art and views;
With powdered locks and ruffled clothes
Each week he press'd important news.
Years have past since the Davis press
Struck off this first State paper
Editors, stead of being less
Are like leaves in Autumn's caper.
Till now in all our goodly State,
From Curritucks broad waters
To Cherokee-the numbers great,
Of printing sons and daughters.
improvements mark. an progress, too,
This line Of onward marching;
Till oft l think there's nothing new
Beneath the sky Ger arching.
In larger towns at this glad hour,
Where handpress once was cherished;
Electric, steam and water power,
Show old times long have persisted.
And magic steel-clad finger;
Is superseding the typo boys,
Who at the type case linger.
The man. too, has changed the while;
No longer slow and easy;
He's prosperous, brisk, dressed in style
In methods and manner breezy.
Now who can estimate Alright,
The power the Press is welding?
No royal mandate blinds its sight
It's praise the world is yielding.
Then sing the pcn-the mighty pen
The hand that yields it moves the land;
And every valley, every glen
Is made to smile beneath Its hand.
The poets pen, and pen of science,
instruction brings to thoughtful men;
But after all our main reliance
Is on the editorial pen.
And women too, as well as men,
Can WELD this mighty power today,
And bring dead hope to life again
And bid it smile along its way.
The pen must move before the sword
Can DO its work for freedoms flag;
And when with truth it gives the word
No brave IS found where towards lag.
The thoughtful editorial pen,
The newsy pen, and pen of thought,
Is valued by all honest men
As much too priceless to be bought.
Like all great powers, the pen has found
Within itself it's honors grow,
For, standing on the topmost round,
All lesser honors lie below.
The North Carolina pen must work
And labor for the good of others;
Must help mankind no task to shirk,
An aid them all to live as brothers.
And this requires a sterling worth
mind unawed by power of wealth.
That dares to take It's stand for truth;
And work in sickness or in health.
The rising sun must battle the pen,
And Tighten its laborious toll;
And then the work of helping men
Must move by light Of midnight oil.
Then let us count, with thanks content,
The garner'd fruits OF brain and thought
In schools. and law, and government,
Which North Carolina pens have
wrought

You surely will acknowledge;
cannot scintillate with wit,
Like beardless youths from college.
But surely one who's welded pen,
Paste-pot. and brush and scissors
For thirty years, can face again
These editorial cuizzers.
Some men win greatness easily;
Some, honors thrust upon them;
While some poor timid souls like me
Have always sought to shun them.
But still, I'll do my very best
To yield my need of pleasure;
And summon rhymes at your behest,
To verse NV Muses. treasure.

Henderson,

We have got the brick work done on
the new school house--Frank Crane,
son of A. b. Crane, set up nine acres of
heavy corn in one day which had been
cut with corn harvester. James A.
Hayt paid four dollars for the days
work. 1t was the biggest days work |
ever knew man to do-A man who
is at work on the new telephone line
that is being put through from Saginaw
to Toledo, came to E. E. Bunting's house
and wanted to get lodging for short
time or while his gang was at work near
and at this place He went to bed on
Sunday evening and got up Monday
morning, going to his work. When
Mrs. Bunting went up to change the
clothes on the bed she found quite a
large roll of bank notes or money in the
bed, Mr.. Bunting went and told the
man what had been found and he said
he had forgotten it. Hired men under
the Wilson and German tariff bill were
not troubled this way and hope they
have not forgotten it yet. What diff
ference between this case and that Of
Coxey's army and the soup houses. Now
there is no one to hire at SO day
Then there were ten men for every Job
and they would work at any price you
would pay. Now fellow citizens, let US
not vote such times back on ourselves
again while we have got good times for
everyone. Now by expansion we have
become one of the richest and one of
the most powerful nations in the world.
If we had never expanded this country
would have been only the thirteen colo
MES ceded by the treaty of peace in 1888
by Great Britain. The province of Louis
lana was the first case of expansion. 1t
was purchased by Jefferson from France
in 1903. We next expanded by obtain
ing Florida from the Kingdom of Spain
in 1919. In 1S45 we had war with
Mexico which caused this country to
expand over California and Mexico and
Arizona in 1848. In 1853 this country
purchased tract of land in the north
ern part of Mexico. In 1863 this coun-
try expanded over Alaska by purchas
ing it from Russia. Then in 1899 this
country expanded over Hawaii and
Porto Rico and the Philippines islands.
Now in every case there have been
some that found fault with the move but
after it was all settled no one was will
ing to give up one foot OF the land that
we had expanded over, and it will be SO

of the people has been a great deal bet.
