The committees of the Congrega-
tional and Methodist churches met at
the Congregational church last Mon
day night to complete all the neces-
sary arrangements for the gospel meet
ings to be held here by Evangelist Hunt
for two weeks commencing about June
1st. Mr.. Hunt brings with him a
large tent in which all services are
held, but in all probability the SER
vices the first week will be held in the
congregational church or the opera
house as the weather is not
warm enough for evening meet
ings in tent. The meetings the
second week will be held in the tent if
the weather permits. The musical
program at these services will be on
quite an extensive scale and there will
be a chorus of forty or fifty voices, and
also children's chorus of thirty or
forty voices at some of the services.
The meetings promise to awaken a
good deal of interest.

Otto Walters who was recently Con-
fined to his home with smallpox, aud
was quarantined some time, improved
his time while shut off from the
world in counting the dots in dot
contest in an eastern magazine. He
had plenty of time on his hands and
set himself to work sticking pins in
all the dots, and then closely checked
over his work, making sure that he
had not missed dot. He sent in his
count and was surprised to receive a
check from the publishers for 800.
With Walters smallpox quarantine
did not prove such bad thing after

sPLENDIDLY PRESENTED.
Though Not Selected Mr. Stephenson Is Solid
Democratic Worker.
Especial to the News and Observer

Especial to the News and Observer
SmithfieId, N. c., Sept. 9.-In the recent
Democratic county convention held here,
in placing in nomination for Register of
Deeds Mr.. Dock Stephenson, the follow
ing remarks were made by Mr.. William
Saunders:
''Mr Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: Fifty years ago there lived
amid the hills of the western part of this
county an old patriarch and his family,
David Stephenson by name. To this
household was born eight boys and one
girl. In the providence of God all these
children grew to manhood and woman
hood, save one boy who died in infancy
The old friend of my father and grand
father contributed to the immortal bands
of Lee and Jackson these seven boys. The
daughter, an innocent country girl-the
best of all Gods creation-employed her
time in turning the spinning wheel and
pushing the shuttle in the interest of the
Confederate soldiery
Mr.. Chairman, this is an interesting
subject to me. l honor the Confederate
soldier l glory in his achievements. In
my imagination l see this splendid old
gentleman pronouncing his blessings upon
these boys and sending them forth with
the solemn injunction not to return with
out a furlough properly commissioned Or
an honorable discharge. / now invoke The
shades of Walter Moore and Edwin Saun-
ders to testify that no Drawer soldiers
filled the ranks of the grandest army of
all ages.
Gentlemen of the convention, it is my
pleasure and special privilege to present
to you the, name of one of these boys,
Dock Stephenson, my lifelong friend.
Four years a Confederate soldier, thirty
five years loyal DemOcrat-noninate
him and we honor ourselves, we recog-
nize that element of our grand old party
which has served us so faithfully in many
trying campaigns"
Mr.. Stephenson failed to receive the
nomination, but has gone to work with
earnestness and vigor for the Democratic
ticket.

TWENTIETH CENTURY CAM.
PAIGN.

When it reaches the point of real
strenuosity there are others in the mad
whirl besides Roosevelt, and if he pur
poses to be the leading apostle of "the
strenuous life he must turn his atten-
tior to the political game now being
played In Ohio.
This does not refer to Mark Hanna,
who is supposed to be quiescent just
now, in affairs relating directly to the
Presidential succession, but presents
Hon. Tom L. Johnson, whose name as a
possibly entry in the Democratic fitting
list for the next nomination is being
widely discussed as the result of the
Ohio State Democratic convention.
Mr.. Johnson is making fast fight for
the Democratic ticket in his State. We
say a ''fast fight" for he is going at
it on the automobile, and in doing so he
from every section are f1ocking to hear
him and the speakers who are with him.
He is getting the ear of the people in
a remarkable way, and he is going to
keep your Uncle Mark" very busy on
his side of the Ohio political fence.
The way the Twentieth Century cam
paign of Mr. Johnson is being conducted
is well worth studying. Here is a report
sent out on Saturday that tells how the
modern campaign proceeds:
Tom L. Johnson's unique political
caravan pitched its tents in Lorian last
night for the opening of a campaign that
is scheduled to extend over the whole
State. In all there are ten wagons and
twenty men, C. j. Wagner, Mr. John
sons personal representative, attended
by bugler, rides ahead attired in a
natty white uniform. The other men
wear khaki trousers and blouses with
blue skirts and campaign hats. Mr..
Johnson does not travel with the cara
van. He and his son with two or three
of his lieutenants go from town to town
in his red automobile a, companied by
an expert cnaffeur."
His tent meeting in Lorian was so
great a success that it is now evident
that if he carries the campaign through
out Ohio he will stir the voters of the
State as they have seldom been stirred
in an "off year.
The tent which holds three thousand,
was packed His novel methods and the
issues he has raised-home rule and tax
alton reform-appeal to the average
voter, and it will not be surprising if
many opinions are changed during the
campaign.
