GREENSBORO. N. c., october S.-Gen-
eral Julian s. Carr, who loves all North
Carolinians In the State and out OF 1T,
writes that he proposes to celebrate his
nfty-eighth birthday with the Tarheels
In Greensboro. October 18th. This Is also
tho birthday Of President George I. VIM
ston, OF the Agricultural and Mechanical
College. 1t is the anniversary OF the lay
Ing OF the cornerstone of the University
Of North Carolina. 1t Is the anniversary,
too, of Columbus discovery OF America.
Almost any one Of these events Is Dig
enough to have induced the North Caro-
Ina Legislature to make october 18th
"North Carolina Day." as was done by
The General Assembly OF 1899
NORTH CAROLINA DAY.
At any rate, the reason for selecting
October 18th for the reunion OF North
Carolinians at Greensboro is that this day
Ia BY statute NORTH Carolina Day" and
the schools and colleges ana people are
supposed to take this day from their or
binary occupations each year TO study
some phase OF North Carolina history.
For one reason the date OF the reunion
Is unfortunate. 1t is an exceedingly busy
season with all people. and especially
with one class Of people. who would nat
orally enjoy the occasion kceriy, but VINO
are just inaugurating their years work.
College men find 1t very difficult to leave

Der.
DISTINGUISHED SONS.

North Carolina has a son on the SUI
preme Court bench OF Virginia. Judge
Csrdwell. and another son. Judge Henry
G. Turner, is a member of the Georgia
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Murat Halstead. who is a grandson
of North Carolina. and who Is going to
make an address at the reunion, writes
that his grandfather was John Halstead,
OF Currtuck county, and that his fathers
mothers maiden name was Ruth Richard
son. daughter OF Jacob Richardson, OF
Pasquotank county. His father left the
State when quite young.
GRANDsONs, TOO.
Mr. Hastead writes to DR.. Mc1ver as
follows: 1T has occurred to me that 1t
might interest you to know In connection
with your management OF the reunion at
Greensboro. N c.. that Dr.. Albert Shaw,
editor OF the Review OF Reviews, Is a
descendant of John Halstead, Of Curri-
tuck and as you have pronounced me
qualified as grandson OF North Caro-
Ina. DR.. Shaw could qualify as great

All OF this illustrates the truth OF the

most everybody In the country who is

Carolina or is descended from somebody
who was born there.

exchange for the votes that elect any
little thing that will be esteemed
by the powers that be as sac

of full vote, must be granted, not as a
right, but as tremendous concession.
If Frostburg republicans would now
unite on one man for sheriff and go to
convention with him as the "himnt nm,
that would determine the matter
But so long as there are three candi-
dates so surely is there at the most but
a third of certainty of getting the
nomination for this town.
With only one candidate, as init
mated, that certainty would be equal
to the unity implied.
Is there not at least one town man in
the party with shrewdness enough to
devise the winning policy and force
enough to impress it upon the voters?

Time for primary voting is too short
Not half the votes in any town district
can be polled. Is it any wonder many
people will not go when they know their
own party management has disfran-
chised them by hush, rush, crush?
There are three candidates in town for
Sheriff. One-Henry Fisher, is i'll favor
of public meeting of republicans
invited, to narrow the towns choice
down to one. Let each voter present
cast one vote for his choice of the three,
the one obtaining the largest number

Hon. William J. Bryan thinks the
latter of Grover Cleveland's to admins
trations defeated the democratic party
in 1896 and 1900.
AS party authority Mr.. Bryan is not
conclusive.
At Mount Vernon, Illinois, March II,
1896, Mr.. Bryan declared
| am not democrat!
Two months later, however, he con
verted democratic majority rule at
Chicago into an imperial "bluntstru-
ment' which ousted enough demo
cratic delegates to give HIM two-thirds
of the convention and the democratic
nomination.
At the same time he was en- route
Lincoln to st. Louis to become the
pOpulist standard bearer for president.
All this after two or more years of
intrigue with the populsts and few
days before he became the popuiist
nominee for president on a populist
platform!
For Bryan's defeat in 1896 it is plain
either of Cleveland's administrations
can prove as clear an nIibi as the other.
But for the Philippine business il
1900 Bryan would hardly have been con-
sidered in the race
The most potent factor in Mr.. Bryan
defeat i'll both compaigns was his noisy
adoption and inveterate combination of
the silver lunacy, originally republican,
with prairie-cactus populism.
