We failed 10 see the baccalaurate

failed to hear his name We have
never laid eyes on him, but have been

FREEnEN, NOT SERFS.
Wilmington Messenger.

There is no little of poor stuff that
gets into some Of the North Carolina
newspapers. Following the lead Of
Walter Page. thoroughly Yankceized,
they write Of North Carolinians as if
they were not free, but serf<, and that
just now the day Of their REDEEM ption
draweth nigh. The liberation of these
white serfs is to come through the
disintergration and destruction of the
grand old Democratic party that for
a century has been the hope of free
men and the one bulwark against
Capitalization and paternalism, which
mean death TO a free Constitutional
government. We are gratifed to see
that President j. Allen Holt, of the
recent Teachers Assembly is not of
this class of deriders and dividers.
He knows that his people have neither
been slaves nor traitors to ancestral
faiths, and the great historic past.
He SAYS:
Much has been written and spoken
recently about emancipating the
white man in North Carolina polite
ally. and there is something in it, but
at the bottom, no man ever saw North
Carolina when its people were afraid
to say and act as they thought. We're
they afraid on the goth of May, 1875?
Didn't they take their time before GO
ing into The compact called the
Union and did anybody dictate
when they refused to go out in 1861?
Were they afraid to impeach Holden?
Were they afraid of Grants bayonets
in 1872, and Federal threats in 1876?
Were they not acting as free men in
1894, when in their Impotence on
account Of real and fancied wrongs
they overturned the existing order
of things? Could the demons of hell
have prevented the revolution in
1898? Did our people care for the
threat Of United States troops or
United States courts?'
The most liberty loving people on
the continent are the people of this
State. It's history fairly teens with
examples showing this. 1t may be
that in the years ahead-how far we
know not-the Goddess of Liberty
will find her final abode in this
slandered State.

With courage which knew no fear.

Have passed away,
Until few today,
Await the summons to 90.

When bearing that flag
Now in tattere and rags,
Dressed in their suits Of gray.

THE Gastonia News says: The people
will no longer follow a political leader
blindly. They are going to think for
themselves, and the politician must sim
ply he a public expression of their private
opinions on public questions
There are many and increasing evi-
dences OF the truth of the above. But
does not this fact impose upon the poll
tIclan, and those who would lead. the
greater necessity for honest dealing with
hepeople? The press has it in its power,
more largely than any other one agency
surely, to compel politicians and aspirants
for leadership and position to be truthful
and Just with the people in their dealings
with public questions as well as in the
proper discharge OF public duties Dema-
gogues should be exposed and condemned
at all tlmes.-Raleigh Post
And yet the reward of the press.
when it points to higher ideals and
seeks to exalt truth, justice and hon
esty in politics, is to be met with the
charge that it is seeking to disrupt
"the party" as if the party could not
live except by deceit, in Justice and
fraud.-CharlOtte Observer

statement: II am by no means pleased
with the article in Mondays Spy, and
see no reason why such report should
be given out The impression con-
Yeyed to the readers was that | am
against the road, even the granting of
the franchise. Now, that is decidedly
wrong, and should like 1t so under
stood, as the statement made is only
campaign lie circulated at the last
hour by my political enemies I am
and always have been in favor of an
electric road and will do all in my
power to obtain the two lines ,Sow ask
ing franchises, regardless of reports
contrary. This question had nothing
to do with the November election and
the result of the same could not be
attributed to my views, as they were
in accord with the voters here and in
GreenVille, and the party or parties
who are now talking the most-but in
reality saying the least-are the very
ones who would do the least to bring
the same to a head, and who are In
truth very much opposed to either
town or village having an electric
road. No; I am doing all in my power
road. Yes; l am doing all in my power
to give the residents here an electric
line and will not give 1t up until our
village is connected with the city by
