places and making it deeper at
others, but he did not favor MAX
ing it a navigable stream for the
floating of skiffs, this having been
tried and found to be impractical
bic.
The speaker took up the. sub
ject of economy and cited few
instances of the kind of voting
that Grant did in Congress, say
ing that the latter voted for bill
to give Speaker Cannon d Sc, 600
automobile, and in addition to
this an annual sum Of 50, 500 for
a chauffeur. In speaking of
Grants sympathetic plea, saying
that he was poor and plowed an
OK when a boy, the speaker said
that Grant had hardly drawn
breath outof office since he was
twenty one years old. As to plow-
ing one OK but .pIowed feur and if
he thought that he was achompion
corn bread eater, he, Gudger was
ready to accept challenge.
Mr.. Gudger said that Republi-
cans were trying to reflect upon
his record while in Congress, but
that he was willing to have it
discussed freely, for his obtain
ing fifty-six r.. f. d. routs for
the district and an annual appro-
priation of $4,000 for the rural
mail carries, was greatly appre-
ciated by the people of this dis
trict. Said he doubted if Grant
had received an appropriation
worth one dollar. He emphasiz-
ed the fact that the $65, 900 ap-
preparation that was made for the
enlargement of the postofice
building at Asheville was no claim
but that the Improvement has
been made.
In the course of his speech, Mr..
Gudger was repeatedly interrupt
ed by shouts of applause.

From Mondays Daily.


The real feature of the democ-
ratio meeting at the court house
on Saturday were the interest
ing, instructive and soul stirring
addresses by Hon. j. M. Gudger,
Jr., next congressman from the
Tenth district, A. Hall johnson,
Esq. who is to succedd Solicitor
Spainhour and Mr.. j. C. Fisher,
one of the democratic nominees
for senator of the 33rd district.
The audience heard them gladly
and democrats were especially.
pleased with their ringing democ-
ratio speeches. Following is a
brief reveiw of what they had to
say:
Mr.. Gudger's Speech.
The Speech made by the Hon.
J. NJ. Gudger, Jr., Congression-
al nominee, before the Democratic
convention of Henderson county
Saturday, was enthusiastically
receive by a large, appreciative
audience. Although he was
suffering with severe cold, his
enthusiasm was high, and he
made an instructive Democratic
speech.
After congratulating the ladies
who were in attendance he ex-
pressed his regret In not having
en overwhelming crowd be-
cause of the bad roads and busy
season.
Alter making a few introduc-
tory remarks, he opened on Con-
gressman Grant, and said that he
regretted extremity that Mr..
Grant could not be present to
hear his speech as he did not like
to criticise and discuss his record
in his absence, because that he be-
heved that public officers should
hear the criticism against them.
Grant record In congress was
clearly exposed, and the audience.
was pleased as well as surprised
to learn with what ammunition the
speaker had armed himself.
In speaking of Grants claims
as to the appropriation of $40,
OOO he secured for federal build
ing in Hendersonville also his
elalfofhaving done more for the
Tenth district than all preceding
congressman, etc. Mr.. Gudger
related the story of DR.. Cook S
claiming that. he had reached the
north pole, and mentioned the
great number of people who be-
leVed it, but when an investiga-
non was made, Cook took to the
unknown and he was branded an
m!postor He said that correct
Investigation would show that
Grant had done nothing for the
uStrlct, and that his claims
were unwarranted. He produc-
eel letters from the secretary Of
treasury, and extracts from the
Congressional Record showing
clearly that only bill Of authori-
Zauon passed the house; that no
appropriation whatever was made
1or the proposed federal building.
Hf: Gudger said that he was high

PIE send him to Congress he will

THE CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC.
FARMVILLE IS HONORED IN HAVING
IT WITHIN IT'S GATES.
New Harmony Has Been AWahenen by
Its Presence.

Farmville is greatly indebted to
Professor Schemmel for having es-
tablished here a Conservatory OF
Music. We do not forget that he
left his work in a large city, where
ne had won enviable reputation as
teacher of music to come TO US. He
has stirred new melodies in our
homes and in our hearts. and while
training the students of the Normal
i'm the universal language of EARTH
he has sent a thrill of pleasure from
mountain TO sea i'm the old Domin-
ion. Yes. music hath charms, ' AM
such as will survive the death OF
time and the wreck of worlds.
Hope will be lost in fruition and
faith in sight but the harmonies
of earth will take on new beauty ID
the heavenly world, and through
out eternity the saints will unite IN
singing the song OF Moses ana
of the Lamb
We but echo the voice OF al
Farmville when we offer grateful ac
acknowledgement and sincere congratu
lations to Professor Schemnel' an6
his accomplished assistants for th'
splendid work they have done an'
are doing in our midst. Sing on
the old day. sing in the new an'
We will all rejoice together.
