THE SOUTHERN POSITION.

The Democrats of the South, it may
be asserted with confidence, want to
defeat Mr.. Roosevelt. There is no
legitimate method of campaign they
would not adopt to accomplish that
purpose. The over-shadowing issue
with the Southern people is the
Presidents unsympathetic, if not
hostile, attitude towards this section.
He has shown an utter disregard of
the feelings or prejudices, as he terms
them, Of the Southern people. The
Iudianola incident, the Crum APP
p,intmeut, the social equality senti-
mtnt of the President, make him the
le-ue III the South. The failure to
live ZIP 10 his professions, his rash
ness, his assumption that he is higher
than the law, and his unseasoned, il
not unsound Judgment, make him
an issue every where.
The Democrats OF the South at
least can see no dishonOr i'll promot-
ing harmony in their OWL ranks
| when SO much is staked upon the is
sue of the next campaign. There is

A Beautiful High Noon Wedding In

the Presbyterian Church.
In the Presbyterian church in this
city Feb. 10 at high noon vas solem-
nized a beautiful wedding in which
for weeks the society circles of our
city have been deeply Interested,
born of appreciation of love-of
the lovely young lady who has
given in sacred wedlock her hand
and heart into the keeping of him
who has won the priceless treasure
Of her love, the contracting parties
being Rev. Frank t. Hollingsworth,
pastor of the Presbyterian church of
Brunswick, Ga, and Miss Julia Cas-
tex, daughter and only child Of Mr..
and Mrs. L. II. Castex, of this city.
Long before the appointed hour for
the ceremony every available seat in
the spacious edifice was occupied and
the vestibule was crowded. Not be-
fore, perhaps, in the history of the
city of G%oldsboro has the marriage of
a more popular young lady been sol
emnized in our midst. Ever since
childhood she has been a general ia
vorite with all classes of our people
and no n ever possessed more of
their abiding good wishes than she.
{ While waiting for the bridal party
Mrs. DR.. Williams Spicer sang in an
impressive manner, "The Spirit That
Ger Eden Breathed." Miss Daisy
Smith presided at the large pipe or
gan and was accompanied by Miss
Helen Privett on the violin.

ing notes of Memberships wedding

party and the ushers emerged from

Congressman Meekison Of Ohio.

Hon. David Meekison is well known
not only in his own State, but through
put America. He was elected to the
Fifty-1fth Congress by a very large
majority, andis the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of his party in his section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty years
he waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. At last Peruna
came to the rescue. He writes:
"I have used several bottles of Pc
runa and 1 feel greatly benefited there
by from my catarrh of the head. 4
feel encouraged to believe thai if 1 use
it short tiE1e IongerI viii be fully able
to eradicate the disease of thirty years
standing. david MeekisOn, Member
of Congress.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

nothing inherently vicious in the de-
sire to win. There is nothing dis
reputable in a victory won without
sacrifice of principle.
Since the money question and i'm
perialism are not now at issue, the
Southern Democrats favor dropping
them entirely. They found in 1900
that it vas profitless to attempt to
%galvanize the corpse of free silver,
They will not waste their efforts this
year in g vain endeavor to raise the
dead. The Democrats of the South
have their faces to the rising sun.
They favor live issues, and are in
spired by hope of victory.

We regret to chronicle that our
good friend Mr.. Jno. V. Sherard, OF
the Salem section, lost a fine prize
pig, by cholera, that he was build
ing great expectations on. But John
will have another. He is not the
kind to give up.
Mr.. D. H. Dixon, formerly OF
Greenville, aud who is well %acquaint-
ed with the trade of Eastern North
Carolina, has located in Goldsboro,

Two of the oldest men in the
county have passed away. Mr..
Joseph Forehand was buried Mon
day, and Mr.. John Sykes died Tues
day morning. Both lived near Mt.
Carmel church, east of Pikeville.
Mr.. Sykes fought in both the Mexi-
| can war and the war Of the Confed-
eracy, and sustained an honorable
| record in both. He was nearly q
hundred years old.
Al old negro who claimed to be
| 80 years old died Thursday on the
| plantation OF MI. A. T. Uzzell in this
county. His name was Washington
Woodland and before the war he be-
longed to the Woodlands in Wilson
! county. He was married to his pres
ent wife, who survives him, when he
| was 80 years old. He bore a good
name in the community and was al
ways industrious.
For several days past the receipts
| of tobacco from country carts have
been quite heavy on this market,
| due no doubt to the recent light adj
vance in the price of the golden
weed. A number of farmers had
not sold a pound Of their tobacco uI
to Christmas and as a consequence
the warehouses have done more
business since that time than they
| had before. Heretofore there has
been very little tobacco to market
after the first Of the year in this sec
ton.
The plant Of the Wayne cotton
mill in this city, consisting of the
mill, operatives houses and land on
! which the same are situated, will be
