MICHAEL
 JOSEPH
 SULLIVAN
Unopposed in the Literary Society as Alaska's Representative
 in Congress.

The Literary Society assembled in its spacious hall in Glen Gulch the evening of January H. There was a noticeable increase in attendance, followed by the enrolment of many new members.
 By request, F. w. w. read an orig inal poem, entitled "Uncle Bills Water Trouble" F. w. w. covers gray hair when he puts his cap on, else we would suggest sweet spirits of nitre.
 The president announced the evening would be givemover to debate. Subject -'Should We send Michael Joseph Sul- livan to Congress as Delegate from Alaska?" appointing Messrs. Joseph kaminski and Edward Powers to escort MT. Sullivan, who leads the affirmative, to the platform.
 - At this moment voice was heard in the rear of the hall
 'Mr President: I'm Michael Joseph Sullivan candidate for delegate to con gress, and chief speaker to the Society this night. wish it to be distinctly understood and remembered, that I'll stand for no escort to the platform. The little woman who nursed me at her breast and taught me how to say my prayers, also taught me how to walk. l have not forgotten how-to walk. In my mind women, men who are to be hanged, and corpses are the only per sons who need escort. l am not one of the three. This ain't no 'gram-a-cree talk, either. Out of the goodness of my heart, 1 have condescended to address this miserable conglomeration of hardly human riff-raff known as the Eureka Literary Society. In return for this condescension on my part, each and every member promised to take a bath previous to appearing in this hall. 1 stipulated that you should do this, not through any fear you would soil furni- luIt COiiiliIS III Nlth NouI uiiN persons, but that the pores of your bodies might be opened, and being opened, you might absorb some of the brains and logic 1 propose to speak here tonight.

nothing new to give out, however.
A large force of mules and men
are over there near Winstan exca-
waiting the first two miles and the
work will cost $4,000, all of
which we have printed before.
Perhaps the only news there is is
that the Pennsylvania railroad
will probably control the South

up by the announcement that
work had begun is in need of a

ALBEMARLE and STANLy COUNTY.
That Tax Book Scheme. Editor BlVlnS
Hands out Some Plain Statements.
Stanly Enterprise, May 10th.

HANDS out some RAN Stdleh'eItS'
stanly Enterprise. May 10th.
Lest they forget, and. lest they
cause many good people OF the
county to accept mere denlals and
assertions for the truth, we want
to keep facts before Republicans
and disgruntled Democrats who
seek to explain that tax-book
dodge, whereby it became easy
for one crowd to pay poll taxes
and get receipts and exceedingly
hard for another. If they want
to prove the charges made through
our columns as untrue, then let
them show:
/. That the men into whose
hands the tax books we're placed
were duly sworn as officers and
that their oaths were registered
as required by law.
2. That in each township the
tax book for said township re-
NAMED first and always in the
hands of the officer who was le-
gally deputized for the collection
of taxes in that township, and at
no time was it transferred to an
other party.
8. That the list handed by the
Sheriff to County Clerk R. A.
Crowell was a correct list of the
men who we're chosen and legally
deputized for said collection of
taxes in the respective townships,
and that the books remained in
the bands of these men until they
were duly returned to him.
When these facts have been
clearly established we will apollo
gize to every Republican i'll Stan
ly county.
We have voiced the grievance
of good men from almost every
section of the county. Many of
them were mad and are mad yet,
because they felt that they had
not been treated justly. They
are men who would not lie. Their
word is as good as bond. They
are ready at any time to give affi-
davits.
On the Southern's yards at Dan
vile. Va, Friday morning, Frank
W. Shankle, formerly of this
place, was struck by passenger
train No. 8 and instantly killed.
Marshall Shankle, brother of the
young man, of Washington, D,
c., and J. E. Agile: a brother-in-
law, of this place. went to Dan
Vile to accompany the remains to
this place. The burial took place
Sunday, in the cemetery at Be-
thesda church, Rev. R. D. Sher-
rill conducting the services. 1t
is rather a coincidence that the
young man should have lost his
life in similar way to his BROTH
er Crowell, who was killed a few
years ago by train Oh the yards
at Charlotte.
There has been an epidemic of
mumps in Albemarle and other
sections of the county, and the
disease assumes a peculiar form.
It resembles mild case of me-
ningitis, in that it seems to 60 to
the brain and causes violent head
aches. F. E, Starnes is suffering
from a very severe case now, and
quite a number in Albemarle have
been troubled likewise.

A MENACE TO The SOUTH.
The Right Of the South to Insist Upon AaV
Ing None Save the Best.

The rradesman, July 18th. 1905.
The Tradesman does not assume
to be any more loyal or devoted
to the Interests of the south than
it's contemporaries of the south.
ern press, but it is SO fully con-
vlnced of the menance now con-
fronting the south from the recep-
tion of lndiscriminate classes of
immigrants among us that no
other apology is offered our read
ers for again bringing the matter
to their attention.
We feel that the south deserves
the very best that this earth af-
fords in all lines; that it has
borne it's own peculiar burdens
unaided and alone for the past
forty years until it has conquered
better understanding of those
burdens and a higherrespect for it's
attitude towards them from the
rest of the civilized world, so that
it would be nothing less than
criminal now to jeopardize the
standing the south has won at so
much of trial for it's people.
That there is menace before
US, imminent and active, requires
only the slightest examination to
uncover. In the fifet place, that
there greater numbers of the un-
desirables of other lands coming
to our shores at the present than
ever known before is matter of
notorious publicity; that these
are.creating problems OF. f.crime and
poverty in northern centers is
openly avowed and relief demand
ed, and yet these are the classes
and some of the evils that it is
sought to fasten upon the south
And this is not u movement in
augurated at the hands of ungen-
ercas competitors in the indus
trial world, 1or does it come from
those who are politically in oppo-
sition to the policy of the south,
but it comes from our own midst
and at the hands of our own
friends, which renders the effort
to correct it the more difficult
and the fight against it the more
unpleasant; but here is the
scheme and here are its apologists
and hackers:
An organized movement has been
started inBirmingham that has for
it's mouthpiece tbs Birmingham
Age-Herald, and over which the
business manager of that paper
was called to preside, and which is
advocating policies and plans that
will make the south the dumping
ground for these classes now COM
ing among us, and all unloading
place for the scum of northern
cities.
Here is the evidence on which
these statements are based: In a

Watching th. oIa Year Out.

Watching the old year out has been common custom In many lands. In most countries 1t assumes with the se- rious minded the phase of devotion. In many countries where Roman CatholF cism Is the prevalent form of faith the year Is begsn with midnight masses Among the Greek Catholics the same usage prevails It declined in the Church of England. but was revived by several of the dissenting bodies. the watch night of the Methodlsts being merely a modification of the once gen eral practice. Among the convivlally inclined. however. watch night Is talk en anything but seriously, and the new year Is welcomed with such signs of rejoicing as to one who dld not under stand the customs would seem to indl- cate that all men were heartily tired of existence and glad to see their years go by as speedily as possible.
