Secretary Taft's speech before the
Republican State Convention at
Greensboro Monday night was live
wire. The only regret We have Is
that every voter in North Carolina
could not be present to hear one OF
the finest speeches ever delivered by
anyone In this State
The speaker first treated Of condi
lions In the South and then reviewed
the recent course Of the Republican
party. Judge Taft Is friend to the
South and the South Is a friend OF
Judge Taft.
Of the South with its farms and
mines and factories, bringing ever
increasing prosperity he spoke In
the highest terms, but said that 1t
should squsrely face the great politi-
cal issues of the day and act for Its
best interest.
Turning from a consideration of
the South in general to the Kepubli,
can party, straight from the shoulder
he hit the men who think Of moth
ing but Federal patronage and do
not desire q strong party. He would
have the party rise above petty jeal-
ousies and chickering's and stand for
the great principles of Republic
canlsm.
Then followed a comparison of the
two PARTIES, viewed from national
standpoint-the Democratic party as
a party of promises, the Republican
as a party of performances. Sue
cinctly, but forcibly, he reviewed
the recent course Of the Republican
party in its fight for purer govern
ment and the protection and rights
Of the people.
We will comment on Secretary
Taft'5 speech more fully in our next
Issue when we will have moro time
than We have this week.

Our report Of the Convention at
Greensboro Is rather condensed, but
1t was necessary 10 do this in order
to get the paper to our readers this

good synopsis this week and we will
enlarge upon it in our next issue.
Be sure you see the next issue and
every succeeding issue from now

JUDGE ADAMS CHAIRMAN.

Judge Spencer B. Adams, who
Was elected Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee at Greensboro
Monday night. needs no introduce
tiOn to the voters of this State.
Judge Adams has before held posi-
tions Of public trust, and in each
and every instance he has filled
them with credit to himself and to
his party. He is a man Of ability,
and under his leadership the Repub-
llcan party should march to victory
in this State.

"The question which should ad-
dress itself TO the great business In
terests of the South is how much
longer the spectre of things past is
to hold them to a political allegiance
that does them no good in politics
and deprives their communities of
the inestimable benefit of the pres
ence In local politics of two parties
each of which if it does wrong has
q real chance of being punished for
its misconduct. The possibility of
a change of party control for such O
cause is the best security Of good
government" -From Secretary Taft's
Greensboro Speech.

If the Convention of yesterday
does nothing more it will at least
serve to show that Republicans can
fight. The same indefatigable in

teriZed the contest within the party

that fortress it will be directed

Raleigh & Southport Enters Fayetteville.
Fayetteville, N. c., July H.
The Raleigh and Southport Railroad
completed its track to Fayetteville
this evening, and the first train will
be run from here to Raleigh at 6:15
o'clock in the morning, arriving at
Raleigh at 9:05 o'clock.
Many people will accompany Pres
ident Mills and Chief Engineer Res

Things political are beginning to
hum since the news was received
here that the Congressional Conven-
ton was to be held here July 26th.
Fayetteville wanted the Convention
badly, and it now looks as if it may
rival the memorable contest held
here four years ago.

CORNER STONE OF CHURCH
STOLEN.

Old Coins Worth Sill Obtained by Bur
glars In Reidsville Raid.
Reidsville, N. O., July IA
strange robbery occurred in Reds
vile one night this week when some
unknown parties removed the corner
stone from the colored Methodist
church and made way with 1t and
its contents. The stone was valued
by members of the congregation
because it had been Ia use in their
old church building, and recently it
was sent to Greensboro and made
over for their new structure, which
has recently Teen completed.
In due time the cornerstone was
laid aud some Of the colored secret
orders and the members Of the con-
gregation assembled to witness the
exercises. Some old coin was de-
posted in the stone, the amount be-
ing Sill, and q collection was taken
during the exercises for the benefit
of the church, and something over
$50 was realized. 1t is supposed that
some one i'm the audience thought
that the collection was put into the
stone. At any rate the following
night the stone was taken from the
wall and since that time all efforts
to locate it have been futile.
This calls to mind the experience
this same congregation had at the
completion Of their former church,
which has now been abandoned and
torn away. Prime Johnston and
Mat Martin, two we'll known colored
men, were at that time officers of
the church and contracted with
Messrs. J. G. Huffines and J. III.
Griffith to paint the edifce. While
the work was going on revival was
in progress and collection was
taken to defray the expense of paint
ing. By mistake some Of the
women who had charge Of the
money turned 1t to the minister,
who skipped out poste haste. The
membership was left in distress, but
later paid off the debt.
Several months later Huffines and
Griffith were in Caswell at work and
heard that the same preacher was
conducting a revival there at which
there had been much interest mani
Tested. He was living on the fat of
the land and the close of the service
was drawing near. One Of the male
Of the congregation worked
with the painters and was told by
them of the darkey's conduct at
The news quickly spread.
The last night of the series Of serv
ces came and after q powerful Sell
mon collection was taken for Il Q
minister. Just at this time some OF
The women Of the congregation blew
out the lamps and the male men,
bers proceeded to make known their
of administering a good
logging for the deception. The par
ION made his exit through a rear
and did not wait to see the
collection basket returned.

ed the physicians here.
Members of the medical profession
are watching the case of Miss Stella

cure for the white plague has been dis
covered. The case is a remarkable one.
the more SO because it bears out
claims made by the girls parents re-
garding the cure, AID apparently cor
roborates stories which were regarded
as fertile imagination.
Miss Woolever was in the last stages
OF consumption. The physicians at
tending her after consultation. as
sured her parents that she could not
live week. Then it was that they in
sisted on trying the cure they had
spoken OF several times. that of swal-
lowing the heart of rattlesnake as
soon after the death of the reptile as
possible. While it was regarded as
merely a superstition, the physicians
experiment followed
rattlesnake was found, after a
hunt, and killed before it could bite
itself. The heart was removed and was
washed down the girls throat with
water. To the establishment of the
physicians, the patient who is 20 years
old, showed almost immediate i'm
provement. The following day she
had no sinking SPELL and the next day
was much better. Later she left the
bed she had occupied and walked to
the home of neighbor.
The consulting physicians held an
other consultation and decided to adj
wise that another heart be given the
girl. A hunt is now going on in the
neighborhood for the snake that is to
furnish the heart.
