AN INVOLUNTARY HERO.
How Captain Won Glory in Battle
Which He Didn't Deserve.

Speaking Of war Incidents" said a
veteran newspaper man "a friend of
mine in West Virginia who wore the
Union blue In the civil war was the
principal actor In an affair that was
unique. He was promoted from cap.
tain tn colonel for bravery in the face
Of the enemy" when az matter of
fact he was brave on the occasion
which brought about his promotion
because he could not help 1T. 1t was
case of bravery being actually fore
ed upon him, against his will.
1T appears that the Union troops
Of which the captain's company was q
pert had b come demOraliZed TO some
extent by the fire Of the confederates,
and the soldiers were scltteted over
The battle field in squads. The cap.
tain had secured a stray horse, and
soon after mounting the strange
animal an orderly dashed up to him
aud said:
The general commands you to
charge your men and take those works
in front of your line"
Turning to the scattered troops
the captain sang out:
Rally, men, the general has or.
dered us to capture those wnrfs S
ahead"
AS some of the soldiers were linirg
up for the advance the captain acct
6entally touched his spurs to The
flinks Of the strange hrrse. With a
SNORT the animal, Selling his bit In
It's to- tn, sprang forward, and going
like whirlwind, headed straight fol
the enemy's works.
Come on, men, shouted the cap
tain, as he clung on for dear life AND
tugged at the bride in q desperate
effort to brIug the excited beast to a
standstill. But tie more he tugge1
at the bit the f:;stcr the horse went
towards the enemy.
Bullets were tipping uncomforta
1 bly, close to the captain and he ex.
pecsed to be punctured by mimic
bail al any instant. He glanced back
ward and saw his scattered follower!
far in the rear. He was close upor
the earthworks, when gripping tht
reins and closing his eyes, the mean
time yelling whoa at the horse h'
prepared for the worst. With ;
mighty bound the animal cleared tn,
works and was on the II side. The sol
defender was a gray clad confederat,
infantryman who had been peggin,
away with his muskct at the Unior
line.
Surrender, you scoundrel shouted
the ctptain, partly In terror and part
ly to terrorlze the solitary confederat,
soldier.
"You go to Hades, you inferna
Yank,' replied the Southerner, as b,
dashed down hill and disappeared
in a hearoy ticket, leaving the cap

captured single-handed and against

The whiskey stills in Richmond
county not only debauch many people
Of that good county but they "slop
over" into all the adjacent counties
and do much to injure the prohibit
ton laws that prevail in Scotland,

from all these counties to join hands
with Richmond county people to ask
the House to pass the bill that passed
the Senate OH Saturday SO that the
whole southern section of the State
may be freed from the curse that
emanates from Hamlet and Hoffman.
The stills ought to be driven out
because they are a nuisance and work

Compulsory Education Law.

To Editor: AS child labor and
education are giving our law makers
trouble, / would like to give them a
little piece of my mind through the
Old Reliable. I'm sure they all read
it, or ought to. Now if it is wrong TO
work child under twelve years of
age and if all should be educated,
why not this Legislature pass a COM
pulsOry education law making all chill
dren between the ages of six and
twelve attend school at lest eight
months in each year?
L seems to me that this would
solve both problems; it would give
each child four years OF school in
succession, which would do more good
than twice the amount scattered over
a long period of time. and then it
would solve the child labor problem.
! thing a child with a better edu-
cation at twelve than nineteenth of
them have at tWenty-one years of age
will stand much the best chance of
making q useful citizen, and then
those who were fortunate enough to
would certainly be the means of turn
ing outa much larger per cent of well
equipped men and women than our
old State has ever known before. With
a sincere desire that this might bene-
fit the children of she future,I am.
Respectfully.

\ Tribute From = Friend to the Late
William s. Primrose. .Tr.

William :. Primrose, Jr., the second
son of Mr.. w. :. Primrose, was born
March 10th, 1876, died at the home of
his parents on the morning of Deem
Der Goth, 1904, and was laid to rest in
CakWOOd cemetery on the afternoon of
Dcemter 31st the last day of the year
and one of the loveliest of the winter
AT this time. particularly when all the
world is bearing messages of good will
and happiness. it seems unusually sad
to think of death and sorrow, yet in
this great bereavement we can but re-
jo.Ce because we know we do not S1r-
row as those who have no hope" With
out the hope and expectation Of
resurrection the way would be much
darker and the burden much heavier.
M. Primrose. while in New York
with his elder brother three years ago,
contracted a sickness which caused
apprehension among his friends Re
was advised by a specialist to seek the
dry climate of the West and engage in
an outdoor life. A time more than
two years ago he left for Durango,
Colorado, later settled In Farmington,
New Mexico, where he MADE Guany
Tarm friends. Following advice ne
engaged in driving the stage Il number
Of months and apparently his health
improved. He was always cheerful
aid hopeful and his letters were full
OF unusual brightness and buoyancy of
spirit. During the past surpler he
visited the mountains Of Colorado and
ION his return to New Mexico in the
fall to spend the winter he was over
taken by a severe rainStorEl. which
gave him a deep cold from which he
could not recuper5ite 1t was thought
best for him to return home after this,
hoping he might be nursel back to
strength by the devotion of those to
whom his heart chung With peculiar
tenderness. He had only been home
a few days when suddenly attacked
with Spasm0dic asthma, which deVel-
oped SLOW pneumonia, resulting in his
death. So short was the stay at home
il seemed as II he only come to bid
farewell to loved ones before taking
his last long journey.
Mr. Primrose was of Il most gen
iai, sprightly, active temperament
which made him many warm friends
wherever he was known. He was hon
cradle and upright and mis- memory
will linger long with those who loved
him, with peculiar sweetness.

THE HEAD OF THE TABLE.

In Democratic circles where North
Carolina sits is the head of the table.
In the election in November ten states
only gave an increased plurality for
Parker. and North Cardinals increase
was greater than that of any other
commonwealth the increased plurality
being 17.00S. The Democracy of North
Carolina is of the best type. 1t keeps
the rudder true"
The Democratic party must look to
continuing as the party that now. as
one hundred years ago, is the foe TO
special privilege. The Overwhelming de-
feat of 1904 was due to the belief that
the Democratic party was not fighting
the battle of the masses Our WaSa
ington correspondent gives some illum-
mating figures and observations in to-
days paper that should be read and
pondered.

WILL RUN THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY

ct will ruin the Democratic party,
was the warning of the men who tried
to kill the Watts law two years ago.
The warnings We're not needed. The
Democratic party is a very live corpse,
thank you, and will live and flourish
as long as it stands true to the best
moral sentiment of the State.
We again hear the same warning
when a plan to strengthen the Watts
law and hold to the anti-jug law IS
suggested. Those who utter these warn
ings are sincere-or rather some OF
them are-but they are mistaken.
The Democratic party took long
step forward two years ago. 1t lost
some votes; it gained some others
The good men who were misled will
come back into the old ship. There
can be nothing gained for the party
or the State by listening to those who
would save the party by steps away
from sensible and progressive legis-
lation. Those who are honest in their
warnings are mistaken. The others
are influenced by their own interests
or are paid for expressing their opin-
ions, and no attention need be paid
TO them.
Let the Democratic majority of
for temperance in 1908. Take con-
seryative step forward, and it will
strengthen itself and bless the State!

Spirit of the Press
Virginia's Eleventh Congressman.


Stanton (Va.) Dispatch.
Virginia is entitled to only ten
members in the lower house of Con-
gress, but she really as good as has
eleven. for the Hon. John H. Small of
North Carolina, the interests of whose
constituents are SO Identical with the
interests of Virginians on the eastern
shore that his intelligent labor in their
behalf is as helpful to Virginia as to
North Carolina. In all the efforts at
harbor improvement. the increase of
transportation facilities. the encour-
agement of trucking and the like, he is
at one with our people. In the wise ef-
fort to establish an inland waterway
along the coast he is the leader, and
he never grows discouraged. Turned
down by one bureau or branch of the
government or committee. he turns TO
another, and always appeals to pub
lie opinion, which is the power be-
hind the throne in popular govern
ment.
We hope Mr.. Small's intelligent con-
stituents may continue to value prop
erly his great services to his State ana
to the South, and keep him in Congress
until he shall have succeeded in this
great undertaking. He is the right
kind of representative TO send to
Washington.

BEARS DISAPPOINTED.

The farmers will win their fight
for better prices if they will hold their
cotton and reduce the acreage. Bear
spectators have sold large quanti-
ties of cotton and to fulfill their con-
tracts they are forced to have cotton.
Recently, in order to supply cotton
which they had contracted to deliver,
certain bear interests paid one cent
more than the market price for a
quantity of cotton in a North Carolina
town. They cannot keep the price
down to the present low level if the
farmers are firm and wise.
In their latest cotton letter ]. H.
Parker & Co., of New York thus give
the situation:
Local sentiment is very bearish on
the theory that the movement cannot
continue small indefinitely, and that it
is only a question of time when spot
holders will let go, and prices decline
to lower level, but the movement
for the first half of this month GER
tainly does not sustain this theory.
The great mass of our reports from
the South state positively that the
Southern farmer is in a strong posi-
ton to hold for an advance and that
the farmers are better organized than
ever before with the view of decreas-
ing acreage in the next crop and also
holding the balance of this crop for
higher prices. That the movement
has not been larger since She first OF
January has been a great uisappoint-
ment 10 professional bear operators,
who have made successive attempts to
depreSs prices with the view of weak
ening spot markets, and practically
every decline has been followed by
full! recovery in prices, as witnessed
by the course of the market this week.
The main hope of the bear operator
a present is the expectation that the
next Ginner's Report, which will be
issued the latter part of the month,
will be Lery bearisl1 in indicating u
crop of at least thirteen million bales,
and bring about substantial decline
in prices. In the event of such de-
cline below the present level We be-
lieve it will only be temporary pro-
vided the South holds to its present
purpose not to market on a decline.
In other words. the future course of
the market depends entirely upon
the attitude of the holders Of the BAL
ance of the crop, and, pending d.
velopments, the market will continue
a iiuctuating one, and governed by
temporary influences from day 20
day."

THE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.

Last week the Inauguration of

North Carolinians to Raleigh.
This week the event that will
bring a gathering of the best folk in
North Carolina to the States capital
is the Temperance Convention which
meets at Metropolitan Hall on Thurs
day, January 18th, and will continue
in session on Friday. January goth.
News comes from many sections of
the State that the people are taking
deep interest in the deliberations of
this Convention and will be here in
large numbers.
The attendance should be large
and representative. The temperance
forces in North Carolina have made
marked progress during the past two
years-greater than in any previous
twenty years. If they rest on their
oars, the tide will recede. The thing
to do is to pull for the shore A
small attendance would encourage the
present contemplated attack upon the
heights already won. Every temper
ance advocate should heed the COM
mand to Israel made through Moses,
THAT they go forward"

The CT OWN of wouanhood is notherh God.
But uneasy lies the head that wears the
crown or anticipates this coronation, when
there is lack of wonanly strength to bear
the burdens of maternal dignity and duty.
The reason why so many women sink under
the strain of motherhood is because they
are unprepared.
81 unhesitatingly advise expectant moth
ers to use DR.. Pierce'S Favorite PTescrip-
ton, writes Mrs. ]. w G. Stephens, of Mia,
Northumberland Co., Va. The reason for
this advice is that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is the best preparative for the
maternal function. No matter how healthy
aud strong a woman may be, she canncS
Use rFavorite Prescription as a prepare
tive for maternity without gain of health
and comfort But it is the women who are
not strong who best appreciate the great
benefits received from the use of "FavoTite
Prescription" For one thing its use makes
the baby's advent practically painless. It
has in many cases reduced days of suffer
ing to few brief hours. 1t has changed
the period OF anxiety and struggle into a
time of ease and comfort.
