AS the democratic papers and
spellbinders are fond of going back
digging up things out of the past,
we would like for some of them to
tell US why it was that the public
school term in this State had not
increased a day for twelve years
prior to 1897, Notwithstanding that
their legislatures during that period
increased the rate of taxation for
public schools from 123 to IS cents
on property, making about so per
cent increase in tax. Doesn't it
show that they were, as they are
today, incompetent to manage our
school Enthusiastically since the
Fusion legislature of 1897 increased
the school term two and one.third
weeks swithout increasing the tax
rate for public schools, and without
borrowing money or issuing bonds
for that purpose. The Fusionists
managed to do this by sbolishing
the democratic school law and en-
acting a new law, which was the
best school law ever placed upon the
statute books of North Carolina.

The Democrats have been claim
ing that the Republican speakers
were making charges against the
democrats without giving them an
opportunity to answer the charges
before the same audience. So the
Republicans decided to give the
Democrats an opportunity. Ex-
Senator Butler was billed to speak
at Smithfield, Johnston County, last
Friday, and both State Chairman
Adams and County Chairman Stan.
Gill notified Mr.. Simmons he could
send any speaker he desired on that
day and he would be given a. di-
vision of time. But the News and
Observer said they didn't have any,
body dirty enough to meet Butler.
However, it seems when the day of
speaking came they had found some
one dirty enough to meet him and
they sent Congressman Pou. Well,
to make long story short, the
speaking is over, and according to
reports from Smithfield Pou is laid
up for repairs.

CROWD PACKS Shell BY COJRT.
HOUSE TO HEAR EX-SENA-
TOR BUTLER.

Largest Gathering of Voters That Has
Has Assembled in Shelby This Year
Hears Ex-senator.
Shelby, N. G., Oct. 9.-The lar
gest gathering of voters that has as
semble d in Shelby this year to hear
a political speech gathered today to
hear Senator Butler. The court.
house was packed to the utmost Ca
pacity. 1t was noticeable that there
were present many voters who re-
Gently have taken no part in politics
or have voted the Democratic ticket.
The speaker was introduced by J..
j. 81. Quinn, county chairman, as
the author of the railroad commits
sion in North Carolina and as the
father Of the great rural free de-
livery system, and as man who had
stood true to every pledge made to
the people.
Senator Butler made one of the
most magnificent speeches ever lis
tened to by the yeomanry of Cleve-
land county. His speech was abso-
lutely free from abuse and appealed
to the reason of the people. He had
the closest attention for two hours.
He said his father had taught him
Jefersonian democracy and to these
principles he had held.
He spoke Of the prosperous con-
dition of the country under Repub-
lican rule and the stagnation under
Democratic, saying that the Demo
cratic party was not a party of pro-
gress, and that 1t changed its plat
form too frequently.
He spoke of the reckless expen-
diture Of money under our State
government, saying that the expen-
ses were less under Fusion rule than
under present Democratic rule.
He dwelt on the extravagance and
recklessness in handling the school
funds.
His speech will do much good for
the cause of Republicanism in Cleve-
land and great gains in the Repub-
Iican vote are expected in November.
A delegation from Rutherford
county was in Shelby and urged the
Senator to speak there before the
close of the campaign.
The Bessemer band furnished the
music.

We wish to call the special atten-
ton of our readers to the article
elsewhere ON this page, written by
Col. George E. Butler, which gives
some facts and figures in regard to
the public schools which every voter
in the State should read. The dem.
ocrats have been making great claims
as to what they have done to edu-
cate the young boys and girls of this
State-but we will not go into detail
here, read the article and you will
be convinced that the democratic
claims are false, and that they are
not competent to manage school af:

SCHOOLS, THE DEMOCRATIC FOOT
RAIL,

The Hartford Herald, a demo-
cratic paper, says that under Fusion
rule was the only time politics had
entered into the administration of
the school laws in this part of the
State. The editor Of the Herald is
either ignorant as to the facts or
either he is trying to deceive the
people. The legislature Of 1897
passed the best school law ever
placed upon the statute books of this
State. That law didn't say that no
democrat should be on the Board of
Education, that no democrat should
be County Superintendent, that no
democrat should teach the schools.
1t did not say any of these things,
but it was non-partisan, part of the
officials being democrats and part
Republicans. How is it today?
The public schools in this State are
simply political football. Even in
the Republican counties the Superin-
tendents, the Boards of Education
and nearly all the teachers are demo-
crats-made so by democratic leg

Union Cigar Makers Object to Free
"EiIIpIno Tobacco.

Union Cigar Makers Object to Free
"EiIIpIno Tobacco.
"There are a great many cigar
manufacturers N this State, and in
a conversation with one yesterday,
he said that an attempt on the part
of the government to admit cigars
manufactured in the Philippines,
free of duty, will receive vigorous
protest from thousands Of tobacco
workers in America.
This manufacturer said that the
free admission of Filipino cigars
would be a great calamity to the
wage-earners among the cigar max
ers Of this country, hundreds Of
whom would be thrown out of EN-
ployment. In the Philippines, he
said, labor ia considerably cheaper
than in this country, and Americans
laboring at the same prices would be
starved to death"
This cigar manufacturer bit the
keynote in the last four lines of his
interview. If our laborers had to
work for the same wages as is paid
in manly of the foreign countries
they would starve to death, unless
public soup houses were opened up as
in the days Of Cleveland. Fit hurts
the American wage Garner to import
a little tobacco free, wouldn't it hurt
him infinitely worse if all our cot
ton and wooden goods and other
commodities that are manufactured
by cheap foreign labor, was imported
into this country free? Our laborers
would then be forced 10 work as
cheap as the inferior foreign laborer,
or else not work at all. If country
of high tariff is not the best place
for the laboring man, why is it they
come to this country every year by
the thousands? Why do they leave
the countries of free trade and come
to this country of high tariff? It
is because they can earn a better liv-
ing and provide a home for their
families which they were unable to
do in the country Of free trade. The
Democratic party claims to be the
friend Of the laboring man yet they
are advocetinga governmental policy
that would either throw him out Of
employment or cause him to work
at starvation prices.

grim battle that he must wage with
thirst and hunger before getting back
again.
But the prospector is a different man
after he has found the mine for which
he has suffered and endured so much.
No man under the sun is more wan
tonly wasteful with money. He liter
ally throws it away, as rule, although
the passing from his reckless grasp of
the last greenback or goldpiece re-
ceived in payment for his mines means
return to the old life, return to the
long, lonely days of trudging over rocky
hills, of stinting himself in rations and
water. The prospecror does not find a
rich mine every day, and very often
after squandering the proceeds of one
lucky discovery, it is years before an
other is made. Yet the very man who
can calculate to a nicely what prepare
ton is needed in fight with the forces
of nature when out in the hills, be-
comes the merest prodigal boy when
riches are poured into his hands.
Ely has seen many such instances
during the past year. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been paid to
prospectors in the camp for mining
claims, but few Of them have put the
money to a good use.
There was one prospector, who short
time ago sold mine for $4,000, who
went about among his friends, after re-
ceiving the money, and paid them the
little debts be owed. A few days later,
he was "broke" and went from one
to the other to borrow back the money.

bye.
The miner and the prospector are not
always the same sort of men. Every
prospector is a miner. That is, if he
is a good one, but every miner is not
a prospector. Many prospectors, while
capable of holding any position IN
mine, will not work for. wages. In
their rambles through the hills, they
dream of great things and despise the
slow but sure method of piling one dol
lar upon another of the wage.earner.
With them it is "white meat or moth

There are also some miners who pros

an unsuccessful trip out into the hills to

And there are some miners who give

to some other camp. There is miner
now employed at the Ruth mine who
has been there for more than three
years. He was in position to under
stand the magnitude and value OF the
copper deposit, and could easily have
found vacant ground on his arrival
which, had he taken it up, would have
made him a rich man today. He tells,
with a laugh, the story of how no
missed fortune. Unlike the prospec-
tors, all of whom expect some day to
possess great riches. the miner seems
to think that the most amusing part
of the story is the superstition that
there was ever a possibility of becom-
ing suddenly wealthy.
