James Graynor Bailey.

Sunday, October 26, 1902, James
Graynor, infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. A. Bailey, fell asleep in Jesus, aged
five weeks. The little fellows life was
very short as the calendar goes, but
uncommOnly full and rich as meas
ured by the wealth of devotion law
ished upon him, and he lived long
enough to take a hold upon the
hearts of his parents that the years
cannot shake.
His illness was brief. He was
stricken with bronchitis on Friday
and though every effort that skill
and devotion could suggest were put
forth by physician and parents and
faithful friends, the disease ran its
swift and fatal course. He who said,
'.Suffer the little children to come
unto me and forbid them not, was
come, and nothing-not even a
parent fond anticipations OF future
usefulness and fellOwship-cOuld for,

SOON WILL BE SETTLED.
Rocky Mount Spokesman.

The approaching election will set
tie quite a number of things, and it
draws so near that we have to wait
only a few days to know the result.
1t will be q most unique election in
that it will be the first general cleo
ton held in the State under the edu-
cational qualification.
It's results cannot now be fOretOld
1t has been declared by various men
and sets of men that the adoption
of the constitutionala amendment and
the registration and election law
Hereunder practically put the negro
out of politics in North Carolina.
And from the few registrations re-
ported for the negroes it does seem
that they will have little to do with
casting the ballots until there is a
change in the registration laws.
However, it is too early to under
take to forecast what may turn up
during the next few years, although
it is a moral certainty that the Dem
ocrats will carry North Carolina this
year.
And this being true, one OF the
things which this election will settle
is the fact that a Democrat will be
elected to the United States Senate
tosucceed Senator Pritchard.
Another thing which the election
will settle will be that the people OF
North Carolina are not yet willing
to do anything which will make way
for a possibility of a return to such
conditions as prevailed throughout
the State only few years ago; and
hence Independentism will receive
such a set back that its promoters
will see little hope in trying to keep
it up-especially on the plane it now
occupies in North Carolina.

WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels. candy, flowers, man-that is the
order of woman's preferences. Jewels
form magnet of mighty power to the
average woman. Even that greatest of all
jewels, health, is often ruined in the siren
uous efforts to make or save the money to
purchase them. If woman will risk her
health to get a coveted gem, then let her
fortify herself against the insiduous conse-
quences of coughs, colds and bronchial
affections by the regular use of DIR. Boschees
German Syrup. 1t will promptly arrest
consumption in its early stages and heal
the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and
drive the dread disease from the system. 1t
is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure for
coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles.
You can get this reliable remedy at Mel
vile Dorsey's drug store.

COMING TO WARREN PLAINS.
The Walter l.. Tain Show to Exhibit
There Saturday, November 9Th.

The Walter L. Main Show will ex-
hibit at Warren Plains Saturday,
Nov. Sth. This is one OF the best
shows in the country as many OF our
people know who have seen it. And
this season it is said to be better than
ever. Three rings. an elevated stage
and large hippodrome track, are
necessary to display the hundreds OF
acts and features that go to make up
the most up-to-date program ever
offered by any similar travelling ag-
gregation. Those who think that
when you see one circus you see all
will be greatly surprised at the many
new features with the Main Show.
Many of the old time circus features
have been necessarily retained, but
the many new ones that have been
introduced will fatty contradict the
oft heard saying that ''all circuses
are alike" The performers with this
circus are all the most accomplished
in their different lines and are among
the highest salaried artists in the
business.

mighty hand of God in the entire
confidence that what He doeth is well

POWER OF GOVERNMENT VS..
POWER OF TRUSTS.

When a condition arises in any form
of government that tends to the
overthrow of that government, it is
the sovereign right for those who ex-
ecute the functions of State to take
cognizance of the fact and by virtue
of the authority vested i'll them to
take such steps as are necessary for
the suppression of rebellion.
There exists somewhere i'll all gov
ernments power to act under such
circumstances. Ii it did not exist and
could not be executed then that gov
eminent ceases to be government of
authority but is in a chaotic condi-
ton of legal anarchy. Sovereignty
carries with it absolute, unrestrained,
unrestricted and uncontrolled au-
thority. It's power cannot be bound
nor circumscribed; it is absolute in
the domain where it acts. Ii this
| were not true governments would
cease to exist.
1t is manifest from the utterances
of the Chief Executive of the State of
Pennsylvania and the apparent help
lessness of the President of the United
States that this condition exists to-
day. Both the State and Federal
Governments acknowledge that they
| are powerless in the hands OF the coal
barons, and equally powerless in the
hands of the Steel and all other
| Trusts.
| The menace to the welfare of the
| people that presents itself during the
| present coal famine is as far reaching
| and as dangerous as any revolution
ever inaugurated. This isnot par
tisan problem only in so far as it en-
phasizes the fact that the Republican
party, which at the present time is
executing, Or is supposed to execute
| the authority of the United States
| and that of the State OF Pennsyl
vania, is owned, controlled and dom
mated by these capitalistic combl
nations who control the supply
monopolize the product and dictate
the price of every necessity OF lie
They force out OF legitimate employ
ment thousands of our best wealth
producers. They enhance prices, re
duce wages and write the terms o
their own contracts. They paralyz
opportunity, assassinate labor, anC
hold both the producer and the con
sumner in their soulless aud uncom
promising grasp They levy tribut
on every man, woman and child il

posterity the heritage OF brutal il
norance and apathetic slavery. The,

and evade their share OF the burden

struct tariffs in the halls OF Congress
to suit their selfish ends and greed

these are a sample of the men VIII

1t Is to be great fair. The Weldon
1alrs have for a generation drawn
immense crowds of people, and the
young folks OF today are taking the
places OF their mothers and fathers,
who were sweethearts in the old days
OF the fairs, and they walk the same
familiar grounds, and make love,
Just as their parents did in the early
days OF the fairs. There are many
delightful associations clustered
about the old familiar grounds and
the people love to meet here now Just
as they did long years ago.
The fair this fall will offer many
attractions, and as we have said be-
fore not the least of the many pleasing
features, will be the crowds of beauti-
full young women who are always in

A GOOD BOAST TO MAKE
New Berne Journal.

New Berne journal.
When Wilmington wants anything
in the way of additional advantages
for developing and extending her
mercantile and Industrial resources
her citizens have to take the matter
in hand and hustle to get it. Moth
ing of the kind ever comes this way
unsought. The Industrial progress
in our city is the result of hard
and persistent work of her business
men.
The above from the Wilmington
Messenger, is as great boast and
as splendid an advertisement Tor
Wilmington as any that could be
| made
1t is boast which the people OF
any city could feel proud of, knowing
| it to be true, and it tells the story OF
Wilmington's progressive Industrial
move, which in the past two years
has put to shame the development OF
| the previous twenty years.
1t is this hustling which the people
of Wilmington have done, that has
given the recent industrial and com
mercial impetus to that city, and
| caused general surprise that there
was so much life in the old city by
the sea.
The problem of its previous non
progressiveness has been solved by
Wilmington. Its people aroused
themselves from their Micawber con-
ditiOn. and went out and sought
before them, they got what they went
after.
| Hard and persistent work on the
part of her business men, tells the
story, and Wilmington should be
proud of such statement, for 1t Is
| iust such going after things, that Is
going to make Wilmington still
greater. with an ever increasing de
velopment.
1t is this kin of hustle plan whiel
Wilmington has pursued that vii
make her sought out by new men anc
new money. which would never have
come to her if her people had them
selves remained Indifferent and re
Trained from hustling.
If the Messenger can each yea
make the same boast, that its indus
trial progress came first through tn,
efforts of its own citizens, through
their hustling, it will also find tina
many things will come Wilmington
way unsought, because industry i

Registration has ended. The books
closed Saturday evening. If you did
not register you cannot vote, and
you have no one to blame for it but
yourself Among the white people
the registration has been fuller than
was at one time expected. When the
books were first opened the people
were slow to register, but on the final
round up this matter was attended
to about as well as i'll previous cleo
tons. Very few negroes registered
in this county, not more than 60 or
10. Many of them did not try to
get on the books at all and for most
part seem to take no interest in the
election one way or the other.
