ASKED GOVERNOR
 SEVERAL QUESTIONS.
People Want to Know Why Jeff Failed to Meet Murphy at McCrory Last Week-Got
 Little Satisfaction
 From Governor.

Des Arc, Feb. 26. Governor Davis spoke an hour this after noon at the court house to an au- dience of four or five hundred people. Of this number about one hundred were ladies and boys under age, and the balance were Davis men coming from nine or ten townships. Sheriff Reinhardt introduced the gov ernor, who was in very poor voice. In his speech he dis cussed little that was new.
 At one point he was confront ed with the question, Why will you not meet Judge Wood?" and the governor replied, He will not come to meet me. :" He then said to the questioner, T will give you S10 to have Wood at Lonoke Monday The party took him up and the governor placed S10 bill with Sheriff Reinhardt.
 The question, " Why will you not meet Murphy? Why did you not meet him at McCrory?" was pressed, and the only satisfac- tion the questioner could get from the governor was that Col. Murphy is not running for office.
 The Wood club organized here last night was named the Prairie County Wood Club. The club was started with sixty-four mem bers. The new names added to- day will more than double this.

M'RAE AGAINST
 THIRD TERM.
Ex : Congressman and Former Friend of Governor Says Arkansas Should Not Violate Democratic
 Tradition.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 26. ' Ex-Congressman Thomas c. Me Rae of Prescott threw bomb Tn political circles yesterday by declaring against Gov. Davis. lie has been a staunch supporter Qf the governor, and two years ago was one of his campaign leaders.
 In letter to Senator T. C.. lobe of Hope, MT. McRae says:
 Your letter asking CD if I in- dorse the present administration of Gov. Davis and (2) if I am in sympathy with his candidacy for a third term as chief executive of our great state has been re- ceived. Entertaining the views l do, 1t IS not important or ma- terlal for me to answer the first part of your inquiry. I will, however, say that I supported him for the second term, and I believe that whatever errors and mistakes, if any, that have been committed since that term began are largely, if not entirely, trace able to his efforts to break down and defy the unwritten but wise law of the Democratic party, which prohibits the election of chief executive of a state or the general government more than twice.
 Whether his present admins tration has been good or bad, he is not entitled to be elected again, and so l will reply only to the second part of your inquiry. To that I most positively and em- phatically answer in the nega- tive.
 If the fact that Gov. Davis has disagreed with the general as- sembly and large number of the Democrats of the state en- titles him to a third term, then has not MT. Cleveland by his disagreement with a Democratic congress and a large number of the Democrats of the United States earned the right to an- other nomination? The answer of the Arkansas Democrats to both of these gentlemen should be no. Most of the Southern states make the governor ineli- gible to a third term. None of them have ever elected the same governor the third time.
 For the honor Of the state and the good of the party, I sincere ly trust that Arkansas will not be the first Southern state to violate the time-honored tradi- tion of our party on the question of third term.

ON TO SEVEN SPRINGS.
VOTE FOR THE BONDS AND
FOR PROGRESS.
What a Railroad From Here to
the Seven Springs Means
For GoIdsboro.

-lfthere was no other argument in
favor of a railroad from here to Seven
Springs the fact that thousands, of
people would pass through here 60
ing to the springs every year and
the fact that all of these people would
spend thousands of dollars here an
nually, should be sufficient to induce
the people of Goldsbore to vote for
the bond issue for the road.
A railroad builds up and develops
the resources of any section, and no.
body will deny that an impetus will
be given to trade generally by the
building of the Seven Springs rail-
road that it otherwise would not re-
ceive. Too much importance cannot
be attached to the opportunity to Sc
cure the road. It rneans far more
for the community than afording
convenient and cheap transportation
to the springs, which of itself is no
small item to be considered and
" WILL 1luuCS uuI11UGIS VI DCO-
pie to favor the measure.
Not only are the people of Colds
boro interested in and in favor of the
measure, but thousands of people
outside of this city who have been
visitors to the springs from Isl to
season are deeply interested in the
success of the enterprise and will
hail with delight the announcement
that the building Of the road is an
assured fact.
While there is no probability that
such a thing will occur, yet it is well
enough to state here that a failure to
endorse the proposition for building
the road by voting for the small
| bond issue would do Goldsboro more
harm than anything that has hap
pened since the people refused to
make an effort to secure the EsShort
Cut' from Wilson to Fayetteville,
aud by so doing, put Goldsboro on a
side track instead of the main line OF
the Atlantic Coast Line where it
properly belongs,
The Company who own the Seven
Springs property have shown their
faith in the railroad by subscribing

an opportunity to subscribe to the
stock besides voting for the bonds,
No better opportunity for invest
ment has been offered.

HIGH PRESSURE DA VS..

Men and women alike have to
work necessarily with brain and
hand to hold their own nowadays.
Never were the demadds of business.
the wants of the family, the require

The first effect of the praiseworthy
effort to keep up with all these
things is commonly seen in a weak

nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of
both body and brain, and in extreme
cases in complete nervous prostra-

THE WAR AND COTTON.

The struggle in the far east has
perhaps a greater direct influence on
the South than we are won't to real
ize. The monthly report of the de-
partment of commerce shows that
American cotton exports for Febru-
airy of this year and had decreased As
compared with those of February,
1908.
In February the exports of cotton
goods aggregated but $1,721, 1913,
against 81, $40 ,40e in February, 1908,
the decline being chiefly in goods
sent to Manchuria. In the eight
months preceding the exports to
China were but s. 1852, O79, against
$0,026, 1853 for the like period of last
year, and $40. O94, S36 for the eight
months ended with February, 1902.
February's exports of cotton goods
to China were but $785,473, while in
the same month of 1903 the amount
was 81, 713, 994.
1t is the war which is greatly re-
sponsible for this falling off. The
Russian occupation of Manchuria,
even before actual hostilities began.
interfered with the trade, as is shown
by the above figures giving the de-
cline for the eight months previous
to February. Niuchwang, the port
of entry for most American cotton
goods, has been recently placed I'm
der martial law; and it is only to be
expected hat this will have the eff
feet of making the decrease yet more
noticeable. It is true that the rise
in price may have had a certain ef-
feet in holding down the buying
ability of the Chinese, but it is with
out doubt that the military opera
ions constitute the chief reason.

TEACH ERS' ASSEMBLY.

The Executive Committee of the
North Carolina Teachers Assembly
has decided that the annual meeting
of the Assembly will be held this
year at Morehead City during the
week beginning June 8th.
The teachers OF the State have al
ways found Morehead City a desir-
able meeting place; and this year
there have been numerous requests
from them that the meeting be held
there. The hotel will be operated
under a cheap rate. The Committee
will make thorough preparation for
the pleasure and amusement of every
one who attends.
DIR. J. B. Carlyle of Wake Forest
College is President, Prof. J. I.
Foust Of the Normal and Industrial
College is First Vice President, and
Prof. w. D. Carmichael of the Dur
ham Public Schools is Secretary and
Treasurer. The local committee for
Wayne county is composed Of Prof.
T. r. Foust, Col Jos. Z. Robinson
and Supt. e. T. Atkinson. The ofi-
GERS are working hard 20 plan a sue
| cessful meeting. There is more than
usual interest manifested already
over the State, and if seems now that
the attendance on the Assembly will
| no the Iar{ppSf in wears.
One of the best programs in the
History Of the Assembly is being ar
raoged. Special attention will he
igiven to the country schools AM t!e
problems of the teachers in those
schools. I, is probable that State
superintendent w. w. Stetson OF
Maine will be present during the en-
tire meeting, and to come in contact
with this wise and enthusiastic school
man will be well worth the trip tC
Morehead. He will be very helpful
to all but especially to those inter:
ested in the rural schools. Governor
Aycock will attend the meeting and
address the Assembly. Prominent
men from outside the State will be
present. Those Will be announced
later.
Every teacher in the State should
plan to attend the meeting this year.
The teachers will be glad to have
their friends generally meet with
them and join in their work and
pleasure. The railroads will give a
low rate, and any one who wishes to
do so may obtain this rate, as well as
the reduced hotel rate.
A teacher can ill afford to miss this
meeting, as it will be one of the most
important sessions of the Assembly
held in years.

S. S. CONVENTION
Will Meet In Greensboro On April
26th, 9th, 28th and 10Th.

26th, 9th, 28th and Doth.
Again the time for seed sowing is
at hand and if we are to accomplish
much in the Sunday school work
this year, we must be up and doing.
There is a great spirit of enthusiasm
among the workers of the State.
Many counties have said hat they
were going.to take from Wayne the
banner and have already gone to
work to accomplish this. / do not
intend that any county in the State
shall get ahead of Wayne, and I
know that all of the good men, wo-
men and children of the county will
do their utmost to make their school
the best in its history. The way to
do this is for each person to do their
best and at the same time encourage
others daily to do likewise. It is
time now that the superintendent
and teachers begin planning and
training their classes for hetownship
convention, with the determination
to make it the largest and most use
full ever held.
The State Sunday School Conven-
ton meets at Greensboro, n. c.,
April Goth, 9th, 28th and Goth, and
there is nc time to lose to get ready
to attend.
Each township is entitled to two
votes, but all Sunday school workers
who attend the convention will be
given free entertainment, provided
they send in their names to me not
later than the goth inst, stating that
they fully expect to go. This is re-
quested in order that homes may be
provided before hand.
I hope that all superintendents and
teachers will see that this notice is
read in the different schools next
Sunday; that all who possibly can
go will do so, as it is going to be the
best convention ever held in the
State.
Reduced rates on the railroads.
