SPEAKS 70 THE PEOPLE OF
MARTIN COUNTY.
A Great Gathering of People to
Eeare Magnificent Speech---
OtbeF Speakers and Il
GoOt. Dinner Which
Was Enjoyed by all
Present.

Williamson, n. c., Nov. g.
About eight miles from here in Grit
fms district this has been a gala day
one that will long be remembered,
for it brought together friends from
all parts O. the county, who talked
Of what mad happened since last
they met; ,1ut the feature of the day
was the pr -sence of North Carolina S
beloved governor. Charles B. Ay-
cock. The people had planned an
event that is characteristic Of their
intelligence and thrift, and in select
ing the governor to be the speaker
they acted wisely, for not only being
governor Of North Carolina, he is an
orator who would interest one on
any subject.
His excellency was introduced by
Hon. Harry W. Stubs, who pre-
sented him in a way that IS exclu-
sively his own and one which is
much admired by all who hear him
talk.
The governor was in the best of
spirits. He spoke an hour and a
half in a delightful manner. He in
terestingIy told of the expenditure
OF money during his administration,
telling how he had spent it for the
cause of education, the uplifting OF
the fallen, the care OF the soldiers
who fought so bravely for our south,
and for the care of those noble Wo-
men, widows of those soldiers, who
were as brave during the struggle as
; the men. He told also how he had,
! with the aid of the heads of the in
situations of the deaf, dumb and
blind, almost compelled the parents
! to give them their afflicted children
! that the state might make them
happy and intelligent despite their
affiictlon. The governor said that il
men approved of this method then
| let them vote the Democratic ticket
for this was that for which Demo
cracy stood.
His speech was a strong one anC
delivered in manner that held the
listeners so closely that no Interrupt
ton occurred. The people OF thi
county appreciate his visit among
them and are glad to meet person
ally the man who has done SO mucl
for them and whom they hav
learned to love during the past fou
years.
The ladies of the district had pre-
pared dinner that was enjoyed b,
all. Eight hundred were accommo
dated at a sitting and the table
, were filed several times. Th
crowd is estimated at about thre
thousand. After all had partic
pated of this nicely prepared Dime
the county candidates announce
: themselves.
| The days program was conclude

[ most excellent representative, Hoi
f J. II. Small, who spoke for an hot

The committee, Messrs. Willial
/ r. Daniel, Pleny Peel and Simon l

e the success of the day and upon the
I excellent management.

WHAT EDITOR POWELL SAID,

The following is the article in the
Tarboro Southerner on Saturday for
which Judge PEBBLES issued the
rule:
"Clerk Pennington gave out some
news this morning when he an
nOunced that instead of Judge JUS
tice holding court next week Judge
PEBBLES would preside. The an
nouncement was provocative of con-
siderable talk.
"This change is done to enable
the judges to be near home on cleo
ton day. The change does not give
unalloyed satisfaction here.
cat the same time no one wants
Bob PEBBLES with his unsavory rep
utation of uufairness, his disregard
of the amenities that go between
gentlemen. In the gentleman class
the Southerner makes bold to say it
does not include Judge Peebles."

Disowned by ORGANIZED Labor.

II is worthy of note that President
Gompers, of the American Federa'io'
of Labor, announces that there Is io
connection of the organization OF the
Colorado miners with the great orgaih-
cation OF which he is the head. lhis
statement is supported, although HUE
support is necessary, by the fact that
the movement of the Citizens Alliance
against unionism in Colorado move
ment aimed particularly at the Miners
Federation-makes specific exception oi

Japanese Brevities.

1t is curious that no matter how eX-
elusive a Japanese family may be III
other ways, in education the tendency
is democratic. Schools are much pre-
ferred to private governesses. even
among the nobility; and girls of royal
blood meet daily in the schoOlroom with
the daughters of well-to-dO commoners.
Among the industries of Japan which
are receiving special attention IS the
manufacture of hemp. There are four
hemp spinning companies in Japan. De-
sides which spinning is carried on as
household industry in the northern pro-
vinces, and these sources fully supply
the domestic demand for all grades ex-
cept bleached hemp yarn, which Japa-
nese manufacturers have not the means
of producing.
There are no old maids in Japan.
With whom the marriage is to be made
does not so much concern the japanese
girls as the fact of the marriage itself.
In Japan the parents arrange the
marriage. subject to the approval of the
young people; in America the young
peoplc arrange the marriage subject
(sometimes-not always) to the ap-
proval of the parents. Families are not
large, four-five--children, but often the
father and mother-in-law, too; all very
happy and contented together.
In Japan the good wife is always
dressed before her husband in the
morning. Then, immaculate In attire
and smiling in countenance, she must,

matches: then later, still smiling, cup

her lord till time for him to dress Tor

assists, and when breakfast is over she

Nebraska's Next Senator.

The next United States senator from
the state Of Nebraska, unless all signs
fail and Nebraska tumbles into the
Democratic column next November,
will be Elmer J. Burkett, the present
representative to Congress from the
First district of that state. He has
been unanimously endorsed for senator
by the Nebraska Republicans in the
state convention, and there is no sug-
eestion of opposition to his candidacy.
He will be one of the youngest men
who ever entered the upper branch, as
he is only 81 years of age, and his en-
tire public career in the state Legis-
lature and in Congress covers a period
of only eight years. His great personal
popularity in his home state is attested
by the fact that the movement to send
him to the Senate is wholly spOntane-
Gus one on the part of the Nebraska
Republicans, as he did not turn over
his hand to obtain the endorsement,
which means his election next winter.
1t is probable that Mr.. Bryan will be
the choice of the Democratic members
of the next Nebraska Legislature, but
there is practically no possibility that
they will constitute more than a small
minority of its membership. Nebraska
has wholly divorced itself from Bryan.

A Step Forward by China.

China. that great sluggish empire, so
bound up in the traditions of the past
traditions that run back centuries
before the time from which most other
nations date their Origin-makes pro-
gress with painful slowness, but 1t has
Just taken a step which is a cause Tor
congratulation throughout the civilized
world, After standing out for exactly
10 wears against the Geneva treaty and
the Red Cross, the government at
Pekin has at last become a signatory
power of the Red Cross compact. At
a recent banquet given in New York
in honor of Prince Pu Lun, that gentle
man made the official announcement
that China, in the future, will not only
allow the Red Cross society to operate
throughout the empire, accepting and
practising all beneficent measures and
principles for which this organization
stands, but n Chinese branch of the
Red Cross has been organized, and the
empress herself has made subscrip-
ton of a sum equal to $4,000 in
American currency.
In speaking of the Geneva treaty,
Prince Pu Lun said: THAT, as you
are aware, is perhaps the most
recognizable bond between the civilized
powers Of the world, involving as 1t
does a common agreement as to the
rules of civilized warfare and render
ing possible international cooperation
in the care of the wounded" What
the Red Cross has been to the United
states in it's wars, what it meant on
the Boer battlefields, what it has been
ever since the Geneva treaty was
originally signed by II governments

the future. Under the Geneva treaty

may be sent to their homes on con-

all too great in any struggle, in
| ternecine or international, but the Red
| Cross treaty does away with the
massacres, the tortures and the priva-
tions of the past. China has been
thrown open to occidental Influence
and is fast emerging from it's hermit
state. In no other way in recent years
has it shown it's progress palmer than
by the adoption of the Geneva treaty.
