Public Meeting Called.
Farmers Of Vance County Request
ed to Meet for the Purpose Of
Considering Legislation for their
Mutual Benefit and Protection.

EDITog GOLD LEAF: Will yor do Us
the kindness to publish this COMMUNICATION
to the non partisan farmers OF Vance
county? The election just held has re-
suited in the choice OF Mr.. Tasker Polk
for the State Senate and Mr.. Thomas
Taylor's return to the State Legislature,
and these gentlemen will doubtless do
anything in their power to enact such
laws as viii enure to the benefit OF the
citizens OF Vance county and the State
OF North Carolina irrespective OF party:
They will serve the whole people and
not a faction or any particular section
The farmers of this county would Ike 10
call the attention of their rep resentatives
in the State Legislatureto matters which
they consider will rebound to their bene-
fit and improve their condition IN the
country Merchants, mechanics and pro-
! fessional men will doubtless inform these
representatives OF what they most desire.
But whether they think it necessary TO
take any steps to give expression to their
views or not that does not concern the
| farmers as a class for they have much
to engage their attention. Hence, after
comforting with many representative
farmers we have decided to issue this
call to the farmers of Vance county, IRE
spective of party politics and party affil-
| iations. to meet at the Court House at
Henderson at IL O'Clock a. m, on Satur-
day, the oath OF November, at which
time and place we respectfully request
the presence OF our representatives IN
| the State Legislature.
And we further urge all farmers to
| come prepared to confer together and
| express their views on the momentous
| questions OF the hour, the permanent
| improvement OF the county roads, and
| to discuss other matters which our rep
| resentatives may be called upon to vote
| on for the betterment OF the condition OF
the farming community and incidentally
| the entire community. A free discussion
for and against this proposed legislation
is invited and it is hoped that gentlemen
! who have studied these questions will
| aid US with their voice and counsel at
this meeting.

Proper View to Take.
Greensboro Industrial News.

The people of North Carolina may
be divided upon political matters,
but there are q thousand and one
things upon which all right-thinking
men agree, and for which they can
work shoulder to shoulder for the
common good
No matter how thoroughly we may
disagree as to political questions we
cannot as a people afford to cherish
hatred or bitterness or allow polit-
ical preludices to SO warp our minds
that we cannot and will not strive
one and all for the upbuilding of the
dear old state we all love so well.
AS the days go by we feel sure that
this feeling will take possession OF
our people and guide their footsteps
To one and all, Democrats end Re-
publicans, the Daily Industrial News
promises it's undivided efforts and
most sincere and earnest cooperation
in all matters that seem to make for
moral, mental or material advance
ment OF North Carolina.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. THERE'S only
one way to cure deafness, aud that is by the
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachiau Tube. When this tube
is inhamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; zine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any

to the Result and Wires Congrat-
ulations to His Successful Oppo-
nent.

Asheville Special, 9Th, to Greensboro Indus
trial News.
Prof. J. j. Britt. the recent Repub-
lican candidate. for Congress in the
TeEth district, who was defeated by
a majority estimated from 900 to
1000, was the recipient of many
warm congratulations today for the
good grace with which he took his
reverse at the polls.
Not only did the professor concede
the election Of Crawford, but he de-
clared his intention of not consider
ing contest.
To press representative he said:
did all man could do for his party.
but the people have chosen. l made O.
campaign which l can look back upon
with pleasure to myself, and even nv
most active opponents are fair enough
to say that my fight was fair one.
l am grateful to every man who voted
for me, including both political parties.
AS further evidence of his sincerely
in abiding by the will of the majority
Professor Britt sent the following tel
egram to COngressmau-elect W. r.
Crawford:
To the Hon. W. I. Crawford
Waynesville, n. c.
Please accept such hearty and sincere
congratulations as a vanauished rival
can offer, and my wish that you have a
useful and honorable career in Congress.

Commenting editorially on the
above the Charlotte Observer saws:
We are publishing this morning a
special from Asheville to the Indus
trial News, telling OF Mr.. Britt, the
Republican candidate for Congress in
the Tenth district, conceding the cleo
ton OF Mr.. Crawford, his Democratic
competitor, when convinced of this,
and sending to him a cordial message
OF congratulations. 1t was q credit
able thing for him to have done. The
truth is that Mr.. Brit is an accom-
plished, genteel, bigh-minded man,
who conducted a dignifed, argument
ative campaign, as Mr.. Crawford did,
also, and who never says or does un-
worthy things. He deserves that
these things be said OF him.

Our Great Victory at Home.

Raleigh Times, 9Th.
Democrats of North Carolina have
ample cause for rejoicing over the
great victory won at the polls in the
general election yesterday, for it is,as
Senator Simmons truly remarks, the
greatest in the history OF the State.
The defeat OF Blackburn and Britt
means that we will have a solid Dem
ocratic delegation in the next con-
gress. We have crushed numerically
the horde OF small Republican fry, we
have nailed their campaign lies and
proved that there was no foundation
whatever for the boastful claims put
forth on the eve of the voting. 1t was
distinct triumph for the white mans
party over that OF Marion Butler and
his brigade OF hungry pie-eaters.
Even in Wake county not more than
handful Of Republicans voted, and
best OF all there were decent Republi-
cans who supported the straight
Democratic ticket without sacrificing
allegiance to the the national organ
ization to which they belong.
So long as the Republican party in
North Carolina is in the hands of the
men who control it at present there
will beno danger of Republican gains
We have the most encouraging evil
dence in the world that the State will
be found in the Democratic column
Tor many years to come.
Chairman Simmons, at the moment,
and at all times, is entitled to the ut
most credit for his magnificent work.
He has been bitterly assailed by the
opposition, but he was true to the
faith. he worked earnestly and hard
| and under his direction the fight was
! more successful than many ardent
Democrats had been led to suppose.

Miss Phoebe Cousins, OF st. Louis,
for twenty years a noted reformer, is
in Washington to take part in the
campaign for the restoration OF the
canteen to the army and beer to the
soldiers homes. Miss Cousins is
quoted in the Washington Post as
saying that the Punishment of wine
and beer has made the soldiers pat
ronize low dives and resorts and that
it was both cruel and ridiculous to
deprive the soldiers of their beer.
All OF which is merely an addition to
the great outburst of testimony and
is no less apt to be wasted on those
excellent people whose minds are
sealed to conviction where such SUBJ
lects are concerned and on the poll
ticians who fear their displeasure.

North Carolina is to be enngrat-

North Carolina has one district,
located in the western section OF the
State, containing a large element ct
white population that ordinarily
votes the Republican ticket That
district has frequently gone Repub-
lican in recent years, being repre-
sented in the present Congress by E.
Spencer Blackburn. But, thanks to
extra exertions on the part OF Demo-
Gratis in the recent campaign and
Blackburn's unsavory record, it has
been wrested from Republican con-
troll and restored TO the Democratic
column. Long may it continue there.

in the votes cast. In the counties of

where Butler made campaign speeches
the Democrats increased their ma

Sampson the Republican majority
was decreased. If Marion Butler had
spoken in every county in the State
the Democratic majority would in all
