After the parade was over Prof.
F. T. Wooten introduced State
Superintendent Joyner, who
made the Columbus people an
educational speech like they
never heard before. He showed
them what mixing brains with
matter would do. The Vineland
band made music for the &C.
casion.
Robson has got to do better

been in the past, but we have no
fear whatever, for she is on the

more such times as the farmers
of Columbus had.
The saddest thing we saw or
heard of on our Chadborn trip
was that an old white lady, said
to be 1O8 years old, was left in a
house there in Chadbourn with
a pipe smoking and when the
parade was passing some one
saw smoke in the house, went
into it, and found the old lady
burned to death, or burned so
badly that she died in few
minutes. think she was a Miss
White.
The patrons of the school met
Tuesday and did some much
needed work around the building.
Now why not raise money some
way to repaint the house? Let's
make it look like white children
were making their destiny there.

How to Protect America.
(Senator Gore.


We can not long prosper be-
hind the wall of a monopoly
tariff. A recent Congress appro-
priated $50, 600. 900 to open rivers
and harbors for the stimulation !
of trade. The same Congress
raised the tariff to discourage
trade. When were we right and
when were we wrong? The real
way to success lies in making
better American goods cheaper
than they can be made elsewhere,
and the cotton manufacturer OF
Charlotte at that coulo beat the
world, so much higher is the eff
cheney Of labor in America. It
is true that you pay your opera
tors 80 to 40 per cent more than
they do abroad, but this is true
Of all business. The farm hand
in America gets ten times as
much as the farm hand in India,
yet the American farmer COM
pe ties with the world success
fully.
Ii you really want to protect
tariff and the profit on the tariff
that the others have paid. Mr..
Redfield shows that before he
can get a suit of all-wool clothes,
which have Al pounds of clear
WOOL woven lnto them, the buyer
| must pay tariff tax including
: the profits, of $3.50 on a
