a speech delivered by j. Fl. New.
man, Democratic candidate fol
Secretary of State, ut u Campfire
at Piqus, long before any one sng,
gested such thing as u reasonable
pension for the old soldier:
81 see our Legislature has enact.
ed law, compelling those In
authority to keep hoisted on every
school house in the State. the Am.
erican Flag, during the hours
which school is in session. The
object of this is to teach patriot
ism. This is very good way and
l have no objections to it, but,
my friends, ! can tell you a better
way to teach patriotism. Give
every old soldier of the Civil War
a pension of not less than one dol
lar a day, and you will teach a
lesson in patriotism that will be
far reaching in it's effect.
"Let the children, as they point
out the Old veteran, ask the ques
tion, father, how does that old
gentleman live and dress 80 com
fortabiy2 / never see him work !!
Then let the father reply, "He
doesn't have to work, my child,
he's an old soldier and the govern
ment takes care of him for the
services he rendered it in its hour
of peril" This is my ideal meth
Od of teaching patriotism"

Last summer the following edi-
toriaI appeared in the Caucasian:
1.-The Durham Herald says that If
the Republicans would take advant-
age of the opening every time the
Democrats let down the gap that 1t
would not be long before there would
be something doing In the Old North
State. We feel sure of that fact
ourselves, and a few Republi-
cans are taking advantage OF the
opening. but they can't do 1t all. II
we had the right kind OF State
chairman that would put his should
er TO the wheel the result In this
State this fall would not be In
doubt"
In the same issue the Caucasian
pointed out the opportunity to carry
a number of congressional districts,
