at the Baptist church Wednesday at
ternoon, October 26,when Miss Addie
Beatrice Cannon of Scranton and DR.
Charles Prue Benson of Travellers
Rest, S C, were united in marriage.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev Willie J Truluck, the brides
pastor. The Baptist church here is
one of the most ancient in the State,
and the decorations for the occasion
under the supervision of Mrs w
S Lynch, assisted by Miss Fannie
Cannon, the brides sister, were pos
sibly the most elaborately detailed
ever seen here. A general color
scheme, effected with Southern
smilax and white chrysanthemums,
studded with pink and golden chry-
santhemums, inclosed the chancel.
GarlandS of the same reached from
the centre to. outer walls, and en-
twined the central column. The pull
pit recess, covered with smilax and
asparagus ferns, furnished a green
background. A few pot plants were
dexterously arranged. The lights
shone softly through pink and yellow
shades. Before the entrance of the
bridal party Mrs Mamie G Palmer
sang with much sweetness and eX-
preston Hearts and Flowers, ="
oh, Promise Me-" and To the
End of the World with You AS the
Mendelssohn's march came in sweet
est accents from the skilful touch of

Little Misses Mary Olive Lynch and

Immediately following the cere-
brilliant reception was ter

BOOKS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Republican State platform de-
clares for free textbooks for all the
public schools in the State. We be-
lieve that every State should furnish
textbooks free to the children or
the public schools, but it is especially
important that this should be done
in North Carolina.
In this State, the Democratic party
put in the fundamental law OF the
State u provision by which every poor
white boy will be disfranchised along
Eith the penitentiary convict, his
only crime being that he has failed
TO get sufficient education in the pub
lie schools to satisfy a partisan red
shirt Democratic registrar. 1t is OF
the greatest importance that the
masses of the people should be edu-
Gated. for their happiness and their
general welfare and the welfare of
the State: but when this education
affects the right of an Anglo-Saxon
citizen to exercise the greatest and
highest privilege of being a part of
the government, in helping to estab-
lish self-rule instead Of being ruled
by somebody else, then it becomes of
Jranscendant importance.
1t is criminal OF the Democratic
party to hang the sword Of Damocles
over the head o. every mite boy In
North Carolina, without providing
better means to insure him sufficient
education to preserve his franchise.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS, At
TENTION!

If there is a class of men who are
deserving of the aid and affection of
the State of North Carolina it is the
old Confederate veteran who in the
dark and bloody days of 81 to '65
bravely upheld the honor and repsta-
ton of the Old North State. North
Carolina contributed $4,000 of her
brave sons, far more than it's voting
population, to the Lost Cause"
Many Of these are now enfeebled
by age and by exposure in wartime.
The State has made appropriation,
small though it be, for their support
This was supposed to apply to all
not that it was to be used as a politi-
cal asset by a rotten and corrupt ma
chine.
But it seems that these old heroes
are so despised by machine Democrats
that they actually think the men who
wore the gray are lost to all sense of
honor. From the afFidavits which we
reprint from the Randolph Bulletin
we are told how they were deprived
Of and refused pensions when they
would not sacrifice their principles
If they did not vote the Democratic
ticket they had their pensions revok-
ed, if they had been getting one, or
else they were refused one If they
had not been getting it.
1t is almost unbelievable-to such
base depths has the Democratic ma
chine Of this State descended. The
whole matter should be investigated
to the bottom, but it will never be
done until there is Republican Leg
islature to do it.

JUDGE BY THE PAST, FRIEND.

The Durham Herald, which gener-
ally speaks right out in meetin'
even if the News and Observer don't
approve of it. arises to inquire:
1t might be just as well to
ask the Democratic candidates
for Congress if they propose to
stand on the platform after they
get to Washington.
What would be the use of asking
ing? OF course they would say yes
But can they be believed, in the light
of their past performances? The
Democratic platform, both State and
National, declared for free lumber, an
Injurious proceeding for the South.
When the tariff schedule on lumber
was voted on, every member OF the
Democratic delegation from North
Carolina, except Mr.. Claud Kitchin.

During the administration os the

dence. he vas gadding about the

W. ". kischin. hope vas expressed
that be would not follow In the steps
Of his predecessor.
For a time Governor Kitchin did
stay In his once and conduct himself
in a dignined manner as belts the
Executive OF q great State. He seem
ed to remember that he was Cover
nor OF the whole people Of the State
and not of one political party. and his
course was complimented by many.
However. the Governor has fallen
from grace and In now engaged In
making a political spectacle OF him
self. In order TO gain the shouts
and applause of the ignorant, he de-
sends to a low type of humor that
i'll BELTS his exalted once and gratu-
tiously insults a large percentage Of
the people of the State. His ridicu-
lous utterance that the penitentiary
contains only Republicans might be
worthy OF printing In the News and
Observer, but coming from the Gov
ernor Of the State. 1t degrades not
him so much as 1t brings reproach on
his high office.
The Governor has fallen under the
displeasure OF the editor of the News
and Observer, and it is evident that
to regain the good will and approba-
ton of that high and mighty dispen-
ser of falsehoods, he descends to his
level and endeavors to initiate on the
stump the performances of the editor
in his editorial columns
Let us hope, for his sake, and for
the reputation and good name of his
high Office, that the Governor will see
the error of his ways and conduct
himself and control his tongue as he
should do.

uruOCRATIC TREATMENT OF
SENATOR GORE.

Tho Democratic press has attempt
81 20 magnify Senator Gore as a
..o., man and to claim much good
-.s,.f,frg 20 them from his trip
,hrongh the State. Let that be as IL
my Yet a lamentable incident oc-
erred during his trip through the
c...e that should bring shame upon
avery Democrat who claims, at the
came time. to be a worthy North Car
Gilman.
The incident as told TO us by an
~ witness Is as follows: That af-
.er Senator Gore had finished his
speech at Greensboro and was start
ing for Salisbury and Charlotte, that
the Democratic committee who acted
as his escort about the city. led the
blind statesman to the depot at
Greensboro and placed him on the
train alone.
Il Is true that q member OF the
Democratic committee did see a Re-
publican whom he knew, in the car.
and called upon this Republican to
look after the blind Senator on his
way to the next speaking place. We
are informed that this Republican
sympathy was so aroused at such
thoughtless and discourteous treat
nent that he took q seat by the Sem
ator and engaged him In converse
ton. The Senator soon asked him II
he would not buy him a newspaper
and read the headlines. so that he
would know what was going on in
the world that day. This Republi-
can went out and bought the Senator
a paper and read him the news and
talked with him until they reached
Salisbury, where he took the blind
Senator out OF the train and deliver
ed him into the hands Of the Demo
cratic committee there.

DANIELS AND PAGE CAN SETTLE
BETWEEN THEM WHICH ONE
MUST WEAR THE CAP.

There appears in the Raleigh News
and Observer, of September 23rd, a
report of a joint discussion at Car
thage between Congressman Page
and his opponent, the Republican
candidate for Congress, Mr.. Parker.
The following is an extract from the
News and Observers report of Mr..
Pages speech:
He characterized the new
converts to the Republican
party, who are running for Of
fee, as pawns, on the politicians
chess board of Marion Butler.
He declared that the motive
of Butler in coming back into
Republican politics in North
Carolina was the collection from
the State of the Reconstruction
bonds and asked Mr.. Parker to
tell the people in his speech
whether or Rot he (Parker)
was in favor of paying these
bonds. In his reply of over an
hour Mr.. Parker failed and re-
fused to tell the people whether
ne was in favor of paying these
PONDS or not. This fact taken
with his sophomore laudation of
Marion Butler led many OF our
people to believe that Parker is
in favor Of paying the bonds
and that he is in full knowledge
OF Buffers secret, whose sup
posed purpose is TO collect
them
Inc Raleigh News and Observer is
SO VIGOROUSLY untruthful that we are
constrained to believe that Mr.. Page
Is not correctly reported, and besides
