A. P. steward.

Death is fast robbiDg the South
OF her civil war heroes. The last
to answer the final roll call is A.
P. Steward. The pure spirit OF
the valiant champion OF the
South's lost cause has departed
to Join his comrades who h a v g
gone before-Stephen ID. Lee and
the rest of the Honorable Host,
Only Buckner remains to repre-
sent the list OF lieutenant gener-
ais. Steward was a brave soldier.
He leaves q heritage OF valiant
and faithful service. Both in war
and peace he eeryed the South
we'll. Like Stephen D. Lee a n d
Kirby Smith, he served his coun-
try after the war as an educa'
tor, and what Robert E. Lee did
for this great cause in Virginia
this trio did for the middle South.
His services in the University oi
Mississippi was valuable as was
his mission in the days OF war.
He lost no time. His lie has ta-
ken up in the renition OF service
to his people Of the South. All
OF these noble men were we !
trained in the profession OF arms
Stephen D: Lee, Kirby Smith, Buc'
ner jackson, Longstreet, wheeler
and Bragg were West Pointers,
and to-day the rolls of thatgreat
institutions are honored by none
more than those brave warriors
who saw service in the Confeder'
acy.
All over the South there is sad
ness over the death OF A P. Stew
art. His declining years were
made happy, for he lived in thu
love OF the South, the respect O
the nation and the affection o
the gallant survivors OF his corps
After a life spent so nobly in th'
service Of his fellow men n on
could enter with lighter heart
"The sweet fields Of Eden" WHERE
there is rest for the weary"
"Peace to the old warrior

An amusing incident occurred

An amusing incident occurred
one evening last week about dark
among the horse traders. One OF
the traders went to the wagon OF
another and they swapped, one
giving the other a barlow knife
to boot. Both were pretty boozy
and they mounted their new hor-
ses to try them, and started in
different directions. They rode
round the store building and met
in front. Not recognizing each
other, they bantered and soon
swapped, the same barlow going
in for boot. They changed horses
again and each went his ways re-
joicing happily, ignorant ofwhat
had taken place.-Chronicle.

Why Not Now.

II Republicans cangive good
times after the election, why can
they not give us good times be-
fore the election? And why have
they not given us good times for
the rpast twelve months? The
New York Leather Company re-
Gently wrote a letter to the Aus.
tin Engine Company, OF Brook
lyn, N. Y, stating that the New
York Leather Company would
open up business the day after
the election, provided Taft and
Sherman were elected, and would
"run on full tima and keepgoing.
Mr.. Robert Baker, president OF
the Austin Engine Company,
wrote o long reply, which should
be read by every voter. Wequote
briefly from it:
"Permit me to say we do not
understand. Why have you stop
ped your factories? Why is t h e
full time and keep going plan
not now in operationP Why has
there been any shutting down
by you and the other members ol
the National Association OF Man
ufacturers, the American Hard
ware Manufacturers Association
and the numerous other associa
tlons to which you say you be-
long? Did you notassure us that
Mckinley would insure q "full
dinner pail" who desire to work.
Was not that assurance renewed
when your several bodies endors
ed Roosevelt and Fairbanks
Then what has emptied the din
ner pail Of millions Of men who
are willing to work? Whatgreat
er reliance can be placed on thi'
assurance than the other? If yo'
wereialse prophets before, hoy
do we know that you will not b
again? . Where is the "a
bounding marvellous wonder
full unparalleled prosperity
Havn'twe got q Republican ad
ministration? Havn't we got
Republican Senate and House @
Representatives? Haven we ba'
them uninhrruptedly for twelv
years?
"Haven't the Republicans mad
the laws? tt the laws are defect
live, why haven't they been alter
ed? If detective now, were the,
not equally as defectiye eightan'
four years ago, when you assur
ed us all is well and leave We
enough alone. "--Asheboro Cot
