Marriage Ceremony Comes to an ABB
rupt HaIt-SecOnd Trial Successful.
Cassius Lynch and Miss Cora Keen
er are married. They had two bitches
at it before the wedding hitch took
place. The first appearance was at
the Court House. The affair occurred
on Friday morning.
A permit to wed was obtained from
Clerk Price by the couple and DR.. S.
v. Leech was sent for. On reaching
the Court House he saw that there
was something out of gear and began
to question the couple.
The man stated that he was not
certain that he wanted TO get mar
ried. He and DR.. Leech had several
talks and the license was handed back
a couple of times to Mr.. Price Lynch
went out of the Court House but re-
turned each time Finally he agreed
that he would be married
Then came the woman. She said
she was not at all certain that she
wanted to be united in double harness
and bucked savagely At last she
agreed to be yoked up. DR.. Leech
asked her to step out. She stated
that she would stand where she was
or not at all.
Without more ado the ceremony
was begun in the presence of about
fifty lawyers and others. Mr.. Lynch
stated that he would take this woman
to love, honor and cherish etc, but
Miss Keener when it came her turn TO
answer up SAID that whether she
would or not depended on how the
groom was going TO treat her.
Dr. Leech then retired from the
scene. The couple finally went TO an
other minister and held still long
enough for him to yoke them togeth
er for life.
No explanation has been made as to
their reluctance shown at the last
moment. The couple are both resi-
dents of this county.

life, ''Our New Minister" which

decessor, its interest is broad in it's
scope, and the touches of pathos, and
bits of comedy, and rollickIng fun
make it an entertainment we'll worth
seeing by everybody, old and young.
The key note to its success lies in the
fact that it pictures real people, real

found in any New England village
of the present day. The scene of the
play is laid in HardscrabbIe, N. II.
The original cast will appear. A
massive scenic production is carried.

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF HING AS
WE SEE 1T.
WE SEE 1T.

"The Anthracite Coal Strike Commission" as
sembIed in Washington Friday and organized by
the election of Judge George Gray as president,
The formal work of the Commission began yes
terday (Monday). The miners are now at work
again, but it seems that several thousand strikers
found their places taken by non-union workers
and are consequently without employment. Here
is one of the knottiest questions that the arbitra-
tors will have to decide.

defeat: that unless the party goes SO far at least
as to reduce the tariff on trust-made goods, the
Great West will go Democratic two years hence.
In New York David B. Hill is again in com
mand of the Democratic forces, but it is not at all
likely that they will gain control of the State.
Odell have made an excellent record as Governor,
and there are no factions among the Republicans.
But what most papers have seized on as the most
noteworthy thing in New York politics is the al
legged elimination of David B. Hill as a Presiden-
tiaI possibility. This results, they say, from his
advocacy of government ownership of the coal
mines. The gold standard or anti-Bryan Demo-
Gratis, it is alleged, will now drop Hill and turn to
German, Olney or Parker. But these prophets
forget that there are two sides to this question.
Is it not highly probable that Hill will gain. about
as much by the lessened antagonism of the BRYAN
element as he will lose by the dampened ardor of
his own forces?

The Elections.

One week from to-day elections are to be held
I'm the various States to choose 378 of the $50
members of the National House of Representa-
tives and to elect Legislatures that are to choose
"a United States Senators. Unless all signs fail,
the Republicans will keep their majority in both
Houses, but it is generally believed that the Dem
ocrats will elect a larger number of Representa-
tives than two years ago. These gains will be
made in the West where the revolt against the
ultra Protectionist is strongest. The present
House is composed of 357 members, of whom 1919
are Republicans. The increase to 3S6 members
results from the reapportionment under the 1900
census, representation from our own State being
increased from nine to ten.
In North Carolina, besides county officers, mem
bers of the General Assembly, and solicitors, the
people are to elect a Chief Justice and two Asso-
ciate Justices of the Supreme Court, a Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, a Corporation
Commissioner, ten Judges and ten congressman.
Every one knows, of course, that the Democratic
State ticket will be elected and that the Legisla-
ture will be Democratic and will elect a Democrat
to succeed Mr.. Pritchard in the United States
Senate. The Republicans, we believe, expect to
elect two congressman. The vote throughout the
State will probably be very light.

The National Campaign.

In all sections of the country the campaign has
been unusually quiet, and the voters stubbornly
apathetic. But we do not think that this indi-
Gates waning interest in politics. The people have
been in thoughtful, rather than active, mood. The
trust and tariff issues, instead of arousing the
people to vigorous partisan activity, have set them
to bordering quietly as to what should be done.
The political leaders themselves have not taken
bold and decided positions. The issues have not
been clear cut as was the case in 1896 when the
sole issue was, Do you or do you not favor Is to
1? or in 1898, Do you or do you not favor the re-
tention of the Philippines? Take Mr.. Roosevelt's
presentation of the trust question, for example.
He did not submit any well-defned remedy-only
called attention to the evils and set the people to
thinking about them.
Imperialism and free silver have had but scant
attention this year. The trust issue, heretofore
minimized by the Republican Party, has now been
given great prominence by Mr.. Roosevelt and the
least possible result will be that his party must de-
fine its position more clearly than it has ever yet
done. The tariff issue has shown more vigor than
at any time since 1892, and it is the opinion of
conservative and far-seeing men that the extreme
Protectionists must submit to compromise or to
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-10-28

MS own forces!
The Campaign in North Carolina.
In this State the campaign has been noteworthy
chiefly because of it's being the first held since the
adoption of the Suffrage Amendment of 1900. The
Amendment has clearly accomplished the most
prominent of the results expected of it: the elm
nation of the negro as an important political
factor. And this has been done far more com
pletely than was thought possible two years ago.
The registration figures have not been given out
as we write this, but we venture the prediction
that not more than 10000 negroes will vote next
Tuesday.
And while the campaign as a whole has not been
conducted on the high plane that was promised
two years ago, there has been gratifying improve
ment. Dead issues and false issues have been pre-
scented by many speakers, but it is only necessary
to listen to the comments of their hearers to find
that such methods are no longer popular. On the
contrary, they bring discredit on the speakers and
their allies. The political champion must now
tell where he stands and what he stands for, if his
popularity is to endure. If there is nothing solid
and vital in him, if he must cloak his nOthingness
with the tattered garments of a dead past, his
doom is sealed; sooner or later defeat will come
to him and all his kind.
This may or may not bring about a change in
the relative positions of the two parties. 1t means
only that the managers of each party must real
ize that the average voter is saying: eff my party
or your party, is not willing to stand or fall by
it's relation to the live issues that now confront
the people, if it is not willing to fight a fair and
manly fight and let the people judge as to it's
ability and patriotism, then it ought not to sue
ceed."
In other words, the people are beginning to feel
like Andrew Carnegie's New York friend who
went to Kentucky to buy a race horse. The breed
er showed him some old horses that had made ex-
celent records but whose day of usefulness had
been outlived, and also some young horses of un-
blemished pedigree that were expected to make
great records. "Well," said the New Yorker, "you
have shown me your have-beens and your going
to-be's, but what / want is an is-er." The people
now wish to hear, not about the issues they have
put behind them, but about the things that are to
develop our Commonwealth and give her people
education, wealth and greatness.
1t is also true that some registrars have acted
~unjustly toward the negroes, but we find encour-
agement in the stern condemnation of such meth
dds by the newspapers and the political leaders.
