Happy Days.

ChildhoOd's Happy Days.
Did you ever go a-fshin'
Down behind the pasture lot,
Where you didn't think they'd see
you,
An the sun was awful hot,
An when you went to supper
DO you member what you got?
Did you ever stop to listen
TO the hummin of the bees =
A-gathering the honey from
The apple-blossom trees,
AM one stung you where your
breeches
Didn't come below your knees?
do you member how you used to
wish
That you were tWenty-One,
So you wouldn't have to be your
"Papa's
Most obedient son."
So you could do just as you liked
And have just a lot of fun?
All, well, we all remember
The days of long ago,
The days of jagged cornered rocks
The days of stub-bed toes
And they were all most happy days
Regardless of their woes.

WILKINS is FREED.

Justice Clark Finds no Evidence
Sufficient to Uphold Charge.
Raleigh News and Observer.
Charles Wilkins, arrested in Colds
boro on the charge of having been
the slayer of Gray r. Speight, who
died of a stab wound in the temple
and refused to give the name Of the
party at whose hand he suffered, was
released on habeas corpus proceed
ings by Chief Justice Clark, yester-
day morning, there being nc evil
dence sufficient to warrant his deten-
ton on the charge returned by the
coroner's jury.
Wilkins was brought to the city
yesterday morning by sheriff E. A.
Stevens, of Wayne, and was accom-
panied by his counsel, Hon. w. I.
Dortch and several friends.
Several witnesses were examined
and Mr.. Wilkins also testified in his
own behalf, the evidence adduced
tending to show a complete alibi, his
movements from eight O'Clock on the
night of the killing until Sunday
morning at sunrise being very fully
accounted for. The alibi established
was in the testimony of three shop
keepers whose places of business are
over a half mile from the point at
which Speight was found, who stat
ed, that Wilkins was about their
places of business from eight until
ten O'Clock and by that of a Miss
Barefoot, who testified that the pris-
oner called at her fathers house at
ten O'Clock and remained there all
night.
Sheriff Stevens testified to Wilkins
having voluntarily surrendered him
self Immediately after the announce
ment of the verdict of the cOroner's
jury.
In his testimony in his own behal
Wilkins denied any knowledge of {
participation in the homicide, ad
hitting that he had a difficulty will
the deceased some years ago.
MYSTERIOUS CRIME.
AS told in the Goldsboro dis
patches, the deceased man, Ora,
r. Speight, was found early Sunda.
morning last on a street in Goldsbor
in a helpless condition with a yer.
serious stab wound in his temple
Although he lived for several hour
after he was found and was entirel.
conscious, Speight refused absolutel.
to give any information as to tn
way in which he had been injure'
and finally died without breaking
his silence.
The natural inference from thi
circumstance being that there is
"Woman in the case" a development
in the testimony yesterday showing
that a colored girl of bad reputation
had cut her hand on Saturday nigh
and afterwards mysteriously disap
peared from Goldsboro, seems to b
of deep significance.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
Another Evidence of President Roose-
veIt's Sagacity.

M. Roosevelt the President is prov
ing himself to be long-headed man. 1t
seems he has anticipated the Emperor
OF Germany az 10 The Hague Peace Con-
vention, where war may be considered
in all its perpleN!ties OF inception and
conduct The Amelic an and German
rulers are looking 10 the future with a
view of decreasing the causes for HOSTILE
ties; or, if there must be war, of chang
ing its conduct beneficially for non-eOm-
blatant nations. Our government has
steadily and persistently herd to certain
propositions as to the rights of neutrals,
and is prepared to urge their adoption a:
the convention. The positions taken by
the United States are for our future con-
Germ and welfare in case this country
should again be forced into fighting. This
action is a long look ahead, it is to be
hoped; but as long as war is a POSSIBLE
ty it is statesmanlike sagacity that seeks
in advance to minimize its hardships;
and where we are neutrals it is business
on the part of this government to know
beforehand the scope of a neutrality nee
essarily international. This move on Mr..
Roosevelt's part is not at all usurpatiou,
as Judge Parker would be likely to define
it IL he were to be consistent. 1t is,
rather, a diplomatic move in the interest
of humanity. aud a matter for approval
by people of all nationAlities, especially
those gathered in America. If Mr..
Roosevelt should be continued as presi-
dent his ideas in this matter will I'M
doubleday receive consideration at The
Hague convention when held: but If a
Democrat be chosen 10 succeed him the
matter will be dropped for two reasons
at least-it being for ign to the avowed
policy Of the Democratic party as TO in
reference in Old World matters, and
also because the proposition is OF Repub-
lean origin. II is well for the people to
that the advancement of the
nation az shown under Republican direc-
ton Will halt under that OF the Demo
Gratis, and then be followed, as in other
years Of their supremacy. by retrogres-
sion and by ruin as soon as the vitality
given TO the country's affairs by the Re
publicans has been exhausted.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1904-10-26

The Democratic campaign writer's and
speakers are making use of highly dam
gerous material when they use figures to
show the large increase in government
expenditures under Republican admins
tra6m. Alton B. Parker said to tho
Democratic editors at RosemOunt:
During Mr. CleveRnd's first term the av-
erage annual expenditure was about $780,
0UQ.0Oo For the last three years 1t has
been about S5l9,O00,OO0. The governmental
expenditure last year mounted up to $685.
since the civil war with the exception Of
the year OF the Spanish war.
Why did Mr.. Parker use the figures
merely of Cleveland's first term? Why
did he not make use of the figures for
President CieTeland's second term? Had
these entered into the comparison it
would have been shown that expenditures
gained with the same proportional rapid
ity in Democratic times as in Republic
can tines-and in some directions, like
interest on the public debt. they gained
more The Democratic party. 10 use
legal term, is "estOpped" from criticism
of Republican increase in expenditures
when the figures comparing Democratic
expenditures twelve years apart, show
that the Democrats, just like the Repub-
licans, were forced to follow the rapid
growth OF the country with increased ex-
penditures for the government.
The total expenditures of President
Cleveland's last fiscal year. 1897, were
$3.50. IA, 159 as against S242, 4S3 139 for
those Of his first year as President, 1885
