A Monster Dumping.
(The Youths Companion)
day.

CINE Outh COnlpdllOIl.J
An aged citizen of North Carolina
tells the story of the greatest app;e
dumping ever made. His home IS IN
Halifax county, where prior to 1S4O'
there was a voting precinct known Dy
the odd name of dumping Town. y
In 1910, when William Henry Harri-
son was elected President. after most
exciting campaign, Dumping ToWn
had exactly one hundred and four
teen voters, and every man of them
cast his ballot for Harrison.
The people of the small but pros
porous town of Scotland Neck in the
county showed their appreciation OF
the unanimous vote of Dumping Town
by a generous and whimsical gift. Two
days and a night were consumed Ia
building a big dumping, which was
made of apples and flour. and which
weighed ia pounds, one pound for
each vote cast at Dumping Town.
This monster of a. dumping was put
in a sack, supported by a tripod and
lowered into an immense iron ket-
tie.
1t required two days and a night TO
cook it properly. Then it was lifted
out and placed in a specially made
bowl cut from the trunk of an enor-
nous cypress tree, and round it were
placed one hundred and fourteen
dumplings of the usual size. a band
of music and fifty wagons We're Sent
to Dumping Town and in these
wagons were taken to Scotland Neck
the one hundred and fourteen true
blue Harrison men and their families
There was great cheering when they
arrived at Scotland Neck, and the
guests cheered themselves when they
saw the feast prepared for them, fol
besides the dumplin~ no end of GOOD
things filled many tables in the spa
cious warehouse, ana the feasting and
fun lasted the rest of the day and
nearly all night.
A barrel of the best molasses was
used as sauce for the big dumping.
and the hungry people ate it ALL

For the consideration of these good
people. | want to submit a few plain
figures and facts that prevailed III
1903, the year that has just passed, in
which times were more prosperous
than they are right now. There has
been criticism of the increased expen-
ditures under the Aycock administra-
ton, but no comparison has been made
between their relation to this State
and the expenditures of Roosevelt in
their relation tt this State. The value
of citizen in times of peace to the
support of his county is measured by
the amount of taxes he pays for that
purpose. The value of a county to the
State in times of peace is estimated
in accordance with the amount it pays
for the State government. The value
of a State to the United States govern
ment in times of peace is estimated
in accordance with the amount Of
revenue it Yields to the support of the
general government. / believe this
proposition is plain enough for a man
TO understand though he reads it
while he runs. The seed of the War
Between the. States was planted and
nurtured in the State of Massachu-
setts and in Boston.
For the year 1903, through it's inter-
nal revenue office. the State of North
Carolina contributed just $681, ,265.53
more for the support of the National
government than the radical State OF
Massachusetts, with all it's tariff pro-
tected industries and Es.stcn in chl1rd.
Now for al ijluGt-atiOl that every
child that understands tEe addition
and subtraction tables can Under
stand, for l shall show that twelve
Radical States in the year 1898 laid
$22S,718.52 less tor the support Of the
National government than did the
State of North Carolina. These States
went Republican in 1900 and in the
last election, and constitute most OF
the tariff protected New England
States with a few in the West. and
they are the following States: Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Connect
cut, Rhode Island, North and South
Dakota, Utah, Washington, Iowa
Wyoming and Oregon. These twelve
States lacked $228,71S.52 of paving as
much for the support of the National
government as North Carolina Tel
your children that North Carolina paid
to support the Radical government
for 1903 S4,24S,341.07, while the
twelve Radical States paid $4.019,-

The passengers for this place who
came from Raleigh on the special train
last Thursday night are indignant at
their outrageous treatment at Mon
cure. When they got off the Raleigh
train it was pouring down rain and a
long freight train was between then,
and the depot and there it remained
for ten or fifteen minutes. and about
fifty women and children were thus
forced to stand all that time in the
drenching rain. The conductor or that
freight train ought to be summary
