lNSURIhG HIS HONESTY.
Very truly,
Joe =. Lane.

A shrewd old Vermont farmer
came into a lawyers office the
other day and proceeded to relate
the circumstances in a matter
about which he thought it would be
profitable to go to law"
You think hcv good case?"
he finally asked.
Very good, indeed!" the law
yer assured him. You should
certainly. bring suit.
What would your fee be fer
the wholess thing" the farmer
asked.
Fifty dollars" was the prompt
response.
The client pulled out an old
wallet, extracted a roll of bills and
counted out $50.
Now" he said, you hev got
all you would get out of this case
anyhow; so s'pose you tell me
honestly just what you think my
chances of winin' suit are"

stays away from church he is a

to foreign missions he does it fer

comes INTO the world everybody
wants to kiss bim-before he goes
out they all want to kick him. If
he dies young there was a great

DILLONITES AT RALEIGH.

The National Farmers Cong
ress held at the capital Of the Old
North State some weeks ago was
a repetition of the one held at
Oklahoma last year. Representa-
tive men and women from "a states
were in attendance. 1t was an
occasion in which our Tar Heel
friends d i d themselves proud.
The accredited delegates from this
congressional district were Vice
President H. McRac, ]. ]. Mckay
w. B. Allen, E. c. Edwards and
last, but not least, our gay Lath-
ario, O. c. Hayes, who kindly re-
lieved David Bethca of his duties
as delegate. The disseminating
OF ideas that tend to the better
ment of the agricultural class and
educating them along scientific
lines is one of the chief objects of
these annual gatherings. Many
able and encouraging speeches
were made and papers were read;
one especially by talented lady
on the drink habit" The lady
and her subject so impressed Mr..
Hayes that he sought an introduc-
ton and his + rst query was are
you narricd?' Alas, yes," she
she said, but I have ever wanted
a,man like YOU"
Then deep down in Hayes heart
Cupid's dart had struck,
He rushed away to another group
Hoping tor better luck.
Mr.. Hayes saw the whole show.
He was domiciled at the Tarboro
Hotel and would make daily excur-
s1ons to the congress and the
museum. AT the latter place he
he saw many wonderful things,
but his trip out to model farm
in 81 900 auto and with a most
charming young lady as his com.
panion capped the climax of his
enjoyment.
The free excursion to Palmico
Sound and the grand oyster bake
was all that could be desired.
But our friend Hayes was all eyes
in this swell set of beauties from "a
states. Eagerly he watched Ito
hlm) this angelic throng. Even
now his ribs are sore from the eX-
cited pounding of his great big
heart. For one thing Mr.. Hayes
deserves the plaudits of the entire
new county. His patriotism stood
the test. An exquisitely beautiful
young lady from the HooSier state
feel victim to his manly proper
tions and by every Establishment
known to the faix sex tried to
take him boldly off to her western
home. Here the true patriot shone
in resplendant light. His vote on
Dec. 14th. was paramount to all
other considerations. Hurrah for
Brother Hayes! Would that there
were more like him. M.

TWO OLD CRONIES.
macon Telegraph. }

\MaCOn leleSTaDh.)
Two Old Cronies at the Grand
last night had good audience but
not so large as the excellence of
the show by The Willis Company
deserved. John B. Willis and
Harry Mack as Prof. Kreitzmeyer
and O'Donovan Duff, respectively,
were very funny, the German dia-
lect of the Professor being perfect.
The two comedians on several
occasions brought down the house.
The ladies of the company were
heard to great advantage in sever
al of the latest popular songs and
choruses, and while pretty to look
at they also possess good, well
trained voices. Miss Kate Hell
ston makes big hit with her dane
ing.
The whole company did most
creditable work and should have
large audiences tonight and to-
morrow matinee and night, as the
perform ance is certainly one OF
the funniest and best staged that
has been in Macon this season.
They will appear at the Dillon
Opera House Nov. 26.27. Tick

KIND WORDS FROM A VISITOR.


x. P. Convention in Dillon, and
fearing all the good things relative
to what was done might not be
said, shall add feeble express
sions.
The night of the 18th and school
auditorium was the time and place
arranged by the Committee for.
the first meeting owing and to the
delay of the train in bringing the
grand c. {. Rembert and others
the meeting was not called to
order until after 10 o clock. DR.. A.
J. Evans presided over the meet
ing which was a public one and in
his introductions he proved HIM
self fitted for the position.
The K. of P. opening ode was
first sung by Miss Gertrude Brew
ser's vocal class of girls accom-
panied on the piano by Miss Myrtle
Beauman; Lightly, Lightly" was
then rendered by the class, after
which they replied to an encore
in pretty selection, Dixie Moon"
The next on the program deserves
master pen, more than mine tc
describe; for the talented Miss
Kathryn Whitley of Charlotte, n.
C., had been selected to give reci-
tat1on on Daymon and Pythias,
and | feel sure, from the hearty,
and prolonged applause of the large
gathering, that its equal had never
before been given in Dillon, and
only wish every Castle Hall in this
broad domain of ours could have
the same. The one selected to
first welcome the delegates, was
the noble and very dignifed Pyth-
ian, H. K. Cottingham and to
prove the committee made no mis-
take in their selection l will say
that the good Bro. did himself
proud, and talked himself out of
business. His narrative of Moon
shine fishing" led us to believe that
he got his inspiration from moon
shine on the outside rather than
from the inside. Mr.. E. r. Ha-
mer then followed with appropri-
ate words, when G. D. Douglas
Mcintyre replied in behalf of the
delegates, the Hon. J E. Ellerbee
was called on and pleasantly res
ponded and was followed by G. c..
| {. Rembert on Pythianism. AS late
as the hour and the unfavorable
situation Mr.. Rembert gave the
audience a treat they were not
looking for and his speech of an
hour l will not comment on furth-
er than to say he held his audience
until after midnight and then they
were not anxious to say quit, when
he closed his remarks.
In the forenoon of the 18th, the
District Lodge was called together
by Grand Deputy Mcintyre and
the time passed too swiftly to do
the work that had to be done, the
detail of which l leave for the ap-
pointed reporter to narrate; will
simply state that Mr.. Rembert gave
the convention, in the closing hour
words that will surely bring har-
vest Of good things in the days to
come.
Convention closed l P. NJ, 8 P.
M. Dillon Lodge met in their Cas-
tie Hall for their regular meeting,
and several of the delegates we're
present to enjoy all that was COM
ing, which included talks from the
visitors Cthe writer can say but
little for he was one of them) and
the advancement in rank from Page
to Esquire of S. T. Bailey and C.
L. Daniel, and / can tell YOU that
with the help at hand the lessons
were well given and Pythianism
made stronger by the exercises.
When the meeting closed the sur
prise came in the shape of a well

nnston Adopts the short kalIot

The pe~ city government of Bos- ton, after January l2, will consist of Il Mayor and City Council of nine members elected at large for terms of three years each-three members retir ing each yer.
 After the first election of Mayor and Councilmen, to be held on January II next, only three Councilmen are cho- sen each year. The Mayor serves for a term of four years, but may be recalled from his office at the end of two years if majority of all the voters In the city so decide. No change is made in the form of the School Board, satisfac- torily reformed few years ago as a body ef five members, elected in rota- tion for three year terms.
 Thus, after the first election next January, the city of Boston will center it's attention each year upon the choice of not more than five officisls-tnat Is the meaning os the .'shortn ballot, the old ballot being ninety officials.
 Under the old organization the total number of officials elected in the city was ninety. To nominate ninety can didates simultaneously obviously de- manded trained political organizations capable of all the abuses which are characteristic of Tammany in the city of NewYork.
 Under the new charter no candidate for office, can have his name put upon the ballot except by 'direct nomina- tioa, and the signatures ol s,0oO vo- ters.
 The whole tender Of the revised char ter, however, is against the chief evil of American municipal politics-the abuse of the city government for the corrupt support of partisan organizs- tions and the pecuniary benefit of the leaders pr bosses. Outlook.
