Political World
%+*%T%**

:.s..s..ss.s.s
Matter contained under this heading is
furnished by prominent Democrat. and
is not written by the editor Of this pa
per-ED. FREE PRESS
Had Mr.. Burns, when he was
candidate tor the Legislature in
Moore been elected, he could have
rendered his party no higher SER
vice in the matter Of the Constitu-
tional Amendment act than did j.
l.. Currie.
When the Amendment Act was
before the voter of Moore county
Tor ratification, had Sheriff Jones
been in control of our forces, he
could have given his party no
greater victory than did Daniel A.
Mcdonald.
The government mule for a long
time has worn the belt for cheek,
but when you compare him with
the cheek evidenced by John L.
Currie and Daniel A. Mcdonald in
coming as candidates before our
approaching county convention,
the mule just amt in it.
The charge OF inhdelity to the
cause of Moore county Democracy,
the charge OF a lack Of loyalty to
the question Of white supremacy
when it was an issue before us,
lies at the door Of DAME A. Nc
Donald and John l.. Currie, and to
the most incredulous the charge is
abundantly proven by the respec
tive records Of these gentlemen in
their political lives.
Say brother when you attempt
to ram down the throats of Moore
county democratic convention the
wool and warp of such political
fibre as this you are going to get
it in the neck.
When the state ticket was last
before the voters Of New Hanover
county with Franklin Mcneil, a
citizen of Wilmington, on the tick

bers of the ticket from different
sections of the State, count showed
not even the difference of one vote
in all the vote of New Hanover
county and the city Of Wilmington
for the different candidates. How
would that do for an object lesson
for Daniel A. Mcdonald in Gar
thage township? But then the peo-
ple in that section had done inst
what we, in self-defense, are con.

ly. With the other party to the
agreement the contract expires July
the 2oth.
While we have had something to
say about some of the political meth
DDS that obtain in Carthage township,
don t think, brethren, that we are 60
ing on the principle that nothing good
can come out Nazareth; we know that
the political lives of some of you have
been blameless Notwithstanding the
environment.
No man has done more for the dem
ocracy in this section of the county
than Neill A. McKeithen, of Aber-
deem; he is clean in politics, exem-
plary in his life, and with this histo-
ry his name will be presented to the
county convention for clerk of the ST.
perior Court of Moore county.
If Daniel A. Mcdonald conspired
with the Republicans of Moore coun-
ty for Alex Campbell's defeat and
Sheriff Jones election in order to get
Republican votes for himself, would
he not, if nominated again, deal with
the Republican candidate for the leg
iclature that the Republicans are so
set on electing? Would he?
Nc element of our citizenship are so
eager for the nominations at the hands
OF our approaching county convention
of Daniel "a. Mcdonald and John L.
Currie as are the Republicans of the
county. What does it mean?
John L. Currie seems very much
more concerned about Daniel A. Nc
Donald S competitors, one of them es
pecially, than he does his own; his
criticisms of this gentleman have been
caustic and unwarranted. Does Dan
lei A. and John L. run cooperative
campaign?
Nothing stands in the way OF the
success of the Democratic party of
Moore county now but the blind and
relentless selfshness of few men
who are willing to rend the party in
twain, if it but subserves their own
selfish purposes and ends.

I would love the most in the world,
friend Campbell, to do some work for
you in your election, but I am oblig-
ed to work for Daniel A. and to do
this I can't afford to take a hand

If you commissioners don't begin

Did they succeed themselves? No;
Daniel A. decreed that they shouldn't,
Wadsworth, I know that have
promised you and promied you, that
I would get out of the way, and help
you to the nomination for sheriff, but
this is bad time for you to come in
the race, and if you will be satified
with this l will tell you what I can
do. can get Daniel A. to concur
with me in the matter, and though it
is the purpose of the party to nomi-
nate the old officers this time, we 9
will have you put on the ticket in DR..
Ferguson's place for county treasur-
er.-"The supposed colloquy between
John L. Currie and ex-treasurer
Wadsworth wien Wordsworth bloom
ed in half an hour into a candidate
for county treasurer after waiting d
years to run for sheriff.
Was this supposed agreement kept
in good faith? Yes. for it meant
votes for Currie, but it didn t mean
quite enough.
Great persona! strength with the
enemy has done about enough for the
Democratic party in Moore county,
and if we perpetuate our party organ
ization, we must have distinct party
lines, and no straddlers in office.
The invincible hosts of the Demo-
cratic party of Moore county, and
they are going to be in the saddle
pretty shortly, say that if it takes an
earthquake and two volcanoes, they
are going to rid themselves of the vic
tory they won sixteen years ago.
Promises like fainting women,
should be carried o1,t.
Webster's blue-back speller, of veneer
able memory, says that if mild means
and gentle words do not avail, the

there is in stones to bring down the

xEw DISCOVERY Iv noIr LAND.

New York World.
A remarkable testimonial to the
truth of Bible history has recently
been discovered in the Holy Land.
According to most reliable authority,
the house in which John the Baptist
was born has been located and tablet
found in it on which was written the
name of John and his father, Zacharias.
The method 10y which this interest
ing and valuable discovery was made
wbs most unusual one, and perhaps
the most extraordinary in the whole
history of Palestinian exploration.
About eight years ago mosaic map
was discovered at Madaba, in the hilly
country east of the Dead sea. This
map, which dates from the fourth or
fifth century, gives the names and loca-
tions Of number Of places mentioned
in the Now Testament.
A native Christian, seeing this map,
noticed that one of the sites was named
Beth Zahar, which means "the house
of Zacharias. - The common tradition
before this time had been that the
house of Zacharias was somewhere near
Ain Karen, west Of the city Of Jerusa-
lem.
A party Of archaologists at once
recognized the Importance OF the dis
covery and set to work making e1ca-
yations ON the site indicated by the
Madaba map A few days work brought
to view the mosaic pavement ard
foundation stones of church, which
was shown from tho situation Of the
stones to have been domed structure.
as it was represented in the pictorial
map.
More than this, an inscription was
discovered on the pavement which,
when interpreted. was found TO be the
names John and .aaoE arias. This in
scription removes all doubt in the
matter and shows conclusiyely that the
Madaba map was correct The domed
/ church, the ruins Of which have been
discovered, was very evidently me-
mortal church built Gu the site Of
John the Baptist's birthplace.
The place where the excavations
have besh made is 20 kilometefs from
Jerusalem and iG kilumaters from
Hebron, lying to the right CT the road
that connects the two places
The domed church was situated near
the point whers tbs Iaad CROSSES the
river Ain Harrub. whose .iators pontius
Pilate brought to Jerusalem. 1t ap-
pears to have been fair sized build
] ing, IL meters in length. The domed
roof is significant in view Of the TACT
that every other ancient building that
has been excavated in the vicinity has
gable roof.
The name given by the natives to the
site where it was found IS Herbat Belt
Shakkar, which means "the ruins Of
the house of Zacharias." =" The Hebrew
