The Circus Comes to Town.

The circus came to town Monday and
young America was in it's glory. Not
only young America, but middle aged
America and old America are interested.
Marvellous indeed will be the tales that
will be extracted from the big aggrega-
ton. And the questions that the six
year old won't ask his knowing father
about the big elephant, the ferocious
lion, the fierce tiger, the gorgeous horses
and the noisy bands, etc, including the
sprightly clowns. simply won't be worth
asking
Yes. the circus is great educator.
The trouble is you can't always tell
what kind of education the fruitage will
be. 1t is going to leave behind it's train
| of ideas and impressions. These impress
| sions may be for the enla1 cement of the
mental horizon and for the development
of the young life along healthful lines
and again they may not be.
At any rate young America has right
to claim the day as his own, and to get
al the good and healthful recreation
possible from big circus day holiday

THE WINSTON CARTOON.
Ii IS Fake Letter and Eas Been Sc
pronounced by Prominent RepubIi.
cans-What Senator Simmons Saws

Senator F. NJ. Simmons denounces
the Winston cartoon and fake letter
and among other things SAYS:
The cartoon amounts to nothing
because it is lie. Nobody asserts
Or believes that Judge Winston ever
rode in IL carriage with the negro
White, Or any other negro upon
terms OF social equality; therefore
the cartoon speaks falsehood.
And the alleged letter upon which
this cartoon is based is admitted not
TO be genuine letter, but TO be a
statement made by the negro White
from memory OF a letter which he
claims to have received from Judge
Winston eight years before he at
tempted to reproduce it.
This letter has been sent out by
the Republicans without any expla-
nation of the fact that it is not Il
genuine letter, but Il mere statement
OF the negro White; and without
telling the people that White from
memory attempted 10 reproduce the
letter and in violation to the law
illegally signed the name of Judge
Winston to it.

GAsT0N NO MORE.
Familiar Old Name Dropped from Map
and Schedules of Seaboard Air Line
Railway and Thelna Takes its Place.

Weldon Roanoke News.
There is no longer on the maps of
the Seaboard Air Line Sailway such
a place as CASTOR. The live, bustling
little town of Thelma has taken its
place, and passengers on the old
Raleigh & CASTOR road will no longer
hear the old familiar station called
out by conductors and porters.
Long years ago, when strap iron
was nailed to wooden rails, CASTOR
was the terminus of the Raleigh and
CASTOR railroad, and there was Il
little branch of the Petersburg and
Weldon road which branched off at
Hicksford, now Emporia, and con-
nected with the Raleigh and CASTOR,
at CASTOR. During the war the rail-
road bridge at CASTOR was burned
down by Confederate soldiers, to pre-
vent the enemy from following, and
soon after the war, the bridge being
gone, and the Raleigh 4 CASTOR hav-
ing been extended to Weldon, the
track on the Hicksford and CASTOR
branch was taken up and the right
of way abandoned
Several years ago the Seaboard
Air Line Strengthened it's track at
CASTOR. to avoid the heavy grade
on the long curve, leaving the old
town of CASTOR on the river to DESC
lation, and established a new CASTOR
on the brow of the hill. At this time
Messrs. Hamill Bros, two enter
prising young men, who had a coun-
try store and a country postoffice,
which one of their sisters named
Thelma, conducted, moved to new
CASTOR. They built good store
| house and later handsome dwelling
and had their postoffice moved to
that place. Now the railroad peo-
pie have adopted the name, dropped
CASTOR from their maps and time
! tables and passengers over the road
will soon become familiar with the
name of Thelma.

New Office Created.
News and Observer

News and Observer
. The Republicans criticize the DEM
ocratic party because it created the
new office of Insurance Commissioner.
The Democrats did create the office
and pay the Commissioner $4,000
salary and pay $1,000 for clerical
assistance. Before that time the
State let the Secretary of the State
attend to insurance matters and
gave him Il 81 900 clerk. The result
of the creation of the new office has
been Il good thing for the taxpayers.

A little simple subtraction shows
an increase of $1S7 ,0OO, 900 in three
items alone in seven years, leaving
out pensions, the Panama purchase
and all therextraordinary expenses.
Are these expenditures ''imagi-

plus of $SO,OO0,OO0 in 1900, there
was deficit of more than $49, 9,OOO,-
