For the Dixie, dear old Dixie,
That our Fathers knew of old -
Was better far than Fifty Dixies
Measured by a mass of gold;
So I'll sing;-but not in sorrow,
For I'm sure what we shall see,
Will be Dixie, Dear Old Dixie,
Just as Dixie used to BEL. c. M

If John G.. Grant thinks the
people out in the country dis
tricts are so densely ignorant
that he can succeed in his efforts
to make them believe his silly
twaddle about reading''and trans
lating latin before they vote, he
is badly mistaken. It is just as
Congressman Crawford says;
They are not so ignorant as
Grant imagines, and the best
judges Of fakirs lin the world"
The people well remember that
old story the republican leaders
told them eight years ago about
what would happen to the unedu-
white men if the amend
ment should be ratified. And
they are voting right along just
the same.

INSULT TO THE SOUTH.

The name of Sherman is by no
means an endearing one to the
genuine Southerner and the re-
publican candidate for vice
president. though a great man
in the estimation of republicans
will hardly add much weight to
their ticket in this part of the
country. Our fathers and
mothers have not forgotten the
treatment they received at the
hands of General Sherman on
his destructive march to the
sea-" when the people of the
south were utterly helpless to de-
fend themselves. Having laid
down their arms they were en-
titled to the protection of the
victors, but, instead, the heart
less Sherman and his army be-
came a terror to life and a
menance to property, the cry
raised along the path, strewn
with blood and unburied dead,
being War is hell"
We would not refer to those
dark days of wreck and ruin, but
for the fact that the national
republican convention put a
Sherman on their ticket thinking
the name itself would hold old
veterans at the North in line.
Referring to the action of the
Chicago convention in this re-
gard Governor Glenn said in his
Raleigh speech recently:
"The very manner under
which Sherman was nominated
for the vice-presldency on the
republican ticket and endorsed
was offensive to the people of
the South. In, derision of the
south the band in the republican
convention played an air that
sounded the march Of death,
ruin and desolation through a
southern state forty-five years
ago, marching through Geor-
gia," when Sherman perpetrated
his deeds in Georgia spreading
shame and destruction"
Yes, and'there were southern
representatives in that conven-
ton who sat there and submitted
to the insult without a word of
protest. One of them, the son
of a brave Confederate Captain,
actually got himself appointed
on the committee from North
Carolina to officially notify Sher:
man of his nomination.
But a true son of the South
always strikes back and no state
below Mason's and Dixon's line
will permit it's electoral vote tc
be cast for Taft and Sherman.
When it comes to adding insult
to injury the men in fair Dixie
are pretty apt to be heard from
in no uncertain tone: They vii
vote right this year as usual.

Congressman Crawford has
lost none of his old time vigor as
a political speaker, or any of his
popularity with the people. He
grasped the hand of many an
enthusiastic democrat in Hender-
sonville on his recent visit and
numbers of ladies, too, pressed
their way through the crowd to
say howdy to him. Mr.. Craw-
ford has long been favorite
with the Henderson county de-
mocracy. Many republicans,
even, believe in him and some Of
them are going to support him
for congress this year.

VS.. PERFORMANCE.

] ltVIllOE LII VAAA
When the Democratic State
convention failed to nominate
Mr.. Ashley Horne for governor
and General Roberts for secre-
tary of state republican news
papers raised a hypocritical cry
that the old confederate soldiers
had been 'tsat upon by the
democrats, whom they said had
no further use for them. They
went on to say the republicans
would recognize the old soldiers
in making their nominations and
"lamented" the action of the
democrats in defeating Horne
and Roberts. These self consti-
tuted guardians of these old he
roes of the Lost Cause neglected
to inform their readers that the
democrats named Major B. F.
Dixon, a confederate soldier, for
state auditor and Major w. A.
Graham, another brave southern
hero, for commissioner Of agri-
culture. These radical editors
never tell the whole truth, any
way.
Well, the republican state con-
vention assembled in Charlotte
on August &c, just a month after
the wicked democrats had turn
ed the cold shoulder to Col.
Horne and General Roberts, for
the express purpose of resent
ing'' such treatment Of chose
who wore the gray" And the
published proceedings of that
assembly" fails to disclose even
the serious mention of Confed-
crate soldiers name in connec-
ton with the nomination for any
office, with the single exception
of R. z. Linney, who left the
democratic party in search of
pie during fusion times some
fourteen years ago. Most of the
places on theif ticket was filled
with the names of men unheard of
before ana we are ADVISED CnaI
there is not a single con-
federate soldier on it. Fact is,
republican leaders have never
felt any sympathy for the old
soldiers and show them en-
enlargement only when they
hope to make a false impression
upon their minds. But then
hypocrisy has, again, been ex.
posed and they will have to hatch
up some other canard to tell the
people. For lie, they will, atany

Ex-Governor Aycock made
a great speech before the Guilford
county democratic convention. in
Greensboro on last Saturday. The
State dailies report it as one of
the finest political addresses the
Governor has ever delivered. That
being the case, it was certainly a
good one. Aycock makes no
sorry ones at any time.

No Doubt About It.

This is from the Charlotte Oh
server of last Monday:
eve do not think it admits of
doubt that since the national CON
ventions Bryan has gained
strength steadily and Taft has
steadily lost. So intelligent an
observer as Walter Wellman, the
well-known correspondent of the
Chicago Record-Hera1d, indepen-
dent Republican, says that at
this time Mr.. Taft can count as
certain only eighty-four elector-
al votes these in the States of
Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan,
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania,
Utah, Vermont and Wyoming.
Bryan has more sure votes in
the South than these States
afford. Of course Taft will Sc
cure more States than those
above enumerated but he will
have to fight for the others, and
the fact that Mr. Wellman con-
cedes but eighty-four votes to
him now indicates how strong has
been the draft to Bryan since
his nomination"
Statements like the above sare
very encouraging to democrats,
especially when they come from
sources that cannot, in any sense,
be considered as prejudiced@oa
partizan to the extent of being
over-con6dent. Mr.. Bryan is
steady growing stronger and
has a splendid fighting chance to
win. Doodle, alone, can defeat
hin and even that appears i'm.
probable at this time.

REPUBLICANS AND PAN|GS.

Hull W. ~ DIydL HI OL4C VI AAA0
recent speeches exposes repub-
lican hypocrisy thusly:
"The Republican leaders have
tried to monoplize the prosperity
idea, but events have exposed
the absurdity of their claim.
Not being able to defend their
policies upon logical and rational
grounds. they attributed all goods
to a Republican administration
and shirk responsibility for
everything that is bad. For in
stance, in 1906, they insisted
that the panic of 1893 was a
Democratic panic merely because
it came when Mr., Cleveland oc-
cupied the White House, where
as it came Immediately after Mr..
Cleveland was inaugurated and
before there had been any change
in any law.
They are accustomed to say
that they can guarantee pros
perity, and that panics always
follow success, and yet the panic
of 1893 came after the Republi-
can party had been in complete
power for twelve years, and it
came eleven years before the
Democrats succeeded in seating
a President. The panic last fall
also came more than ten years
after the Republicans secured
absolute control of all three
branches of the Federal govern
ment. One of the three. panics
that have come since the Repubv
lican party came into power, two
have \come under Republican
administrations and when the
Senate and House were in politi-
cal sympathy with the President,
and the third came Immediately
after a Republican admins
tration, and came from causes
that had their origin in Republi-
can legislation.
Everybody wants prosperity,
but the Republican leaders stand
for prosperity that is monopo-
lized by a comparatively few,
who secure favors at the hands
bf that party, while the Demo
Gratis want a prosperity shared
by all of the people and resting
upon a solid foundation: I-he-
lieve that the platform adopted
in Denver outlines a plan by
which prosperity can be perma-
nently promoted, a prosperity
which will enter the homes of all
who, with brain and muscle, con-
tribute to the nations wealth, a
prosperity that will be shared by
each person in proportion as he
renders a service to society"
Yes, and the people are begin
ming to find out some of the
methods employed by republican
leaders in trying to deceive the
uniformed and will asert more
independence hereafter. They
have learned. already, that the
"full dinner pail' argument, so
called, and the prosperity claim
must take back seat this year.
The slogan now is Bryan and

NO BILL FOR HUcKABY,
CHARGED WITH MURDER

The Territorial grand jury made its
first report today, returning five true
bills and three mo" bills. One of the
latter was for Sam j. Huckaby, who
was accused of murder for having
killed his neighbor, J. L. Beard, a
man of sixty whom Huckaby had sus
pected of improper relations with his
young daughter. The killing occurred
early last February, near Dexter. Pub
lie sentiment has seemed to be gen
orally on the side of Huckaby. An
other of the mo" bills was for john
Wiley, a young man who was accus
ed OF horse stealing for having hired
a horse. ridden it part way to his
home in the Captain mountains and

PROPERTY OWNERS REFUND
PART OF DONATION


A number of the heavy property
owners in Roswell got together to-
day and agreed that it was but fair
that they should do something tow
ards securing the armory lot. With
this idea in view they very generous
ly agreed to raise one thousand
dollars and calling on E. L. Bedell re-
quested that he permit them to do
something towards securing the lot
by accepting this amount. The Rec
ord understands that $3.50 of this a
mount has already been raised and
that the gentlemen interested in the
move will raise and have already
guaranteed the balance of the 81 900.
1t is understood that Mr.. aid Mrs.
Bedell will accept the amount, as
the Record believes they should.
The action taken by these gentle
men is a generous one, especially so,
since it is their desire that they re-
main unknown to the public.

Amarillo won the plum. The fight
