A SOLEMN MYSTERY.
Mark Twain Declared Il Cast a Gloerr
Over His Whole life,


Once upon a time Mark Twain was
interviewed. After various questions
the interviewer came to the question
Of relatives, and from then on. ac.
cording to Twaiu's own version of
things. tie conversation ran thus:
who Is this picture on the wall?
Isn't that brother Of yoursT'
"Oh, yes. yes. Now that you remind
me of it that was BROTHER of mine.
That's WiliiaIn-Bill, we called him.
Poor old Bill
WHY. is he dead. them"
"Ah. we'll. suppose so. We never
could tell. There was great mystery
about it
''That was very. very sad. He disap-
peared, them
We'll, yes, in general sort of way.
We buried him"
Buried him! Buried him without
knowing whether he was dead or not?"
"Oh. no: not that! He was dead
enough"
well. confess that I can't under
stand this. If you buried him and you
knew he was dead
NO. no, We only thought he was"
"Oh. see. He came to life again."
81 bet he didn't"
well l never heard anything like
this. Somebody was dead: somebody
was buried. Now. where was the 1nys-
terry
That's Just it. That's it exactly.
You see. we were twins. defunct ami

when we were only two weeks old. and
one of US was drowned. but we didn't
know which. Some think it was Bill:
some think it was me-"
well. that was remarkable. What
do you Think
Goodness knows! would give
whole worlds to know. This solemn.
th.s awful mystery has cast a gloom
over my whole life. But will tell you
a secret now which | have never re-

Republican County Convention

''At a meeting of the Republican
Executive Committee OF Johnston
County held in SmithfieId, n. c., on
the 25th day of April, 1912, it was or
dered that a convention of the Re-
publicans of Johnston County be held
in the courthouse in the town of
Smithfield. on Friday, May 10. 1912,
at 10 o'clock q. m, for the purpose OF
selecting delegates to the State and
District Conventions and for the
transaction of such other business as
may properly come before the conven-
ton.
Meetings will be held in the vari-
Gus precincts of the county at such
time previous to this convention Is
the precinct committeeman may d.
rect. However, IL In suggested that
the most appropriate time for the
precinct meetings would probably be
on Saturday. May 4. 1912. at three
O'Clock p. m.
Representation in the County Con-
vention consists of one delegate and
one alternate for every twenty-five
Republican votes, or fractional part
thereof, cast In said precinct at the
election i'm the year 1908 for the Re-
publican candidate for Governor OF

FOR A SQUARE DEAL.
Shall We Have Again the Unit Rule
or Shall We Have the Will Of the
People Expressed?

or Shall We Have the VIII OF the
People Expressed?
The Western Carolina Enterprise
Considerable discussion has arisen
in regard to the question of carrying
up the proportional vote from the
Republican State Convention to the
National Convention. Section nine OF
the State plan or organization. as
written into the same by the writer
hereof, provides for the minority
strength as ascertained in the pre-
cinct convention to be carried through
county and district conventions and
given due weight and recognition in
the highest convention by which the
subject matter is considered.
If three citizens in a precinct con-
vention vote for Smith for Governor
while thirty vote for Jones, the vote
goes up l to 10 as cast, is counted in
the new ratio, made at the county
convention, and sent to the State con-
vention. In other words, the voice
of the minority man is as sacred as
the voice of the majority in any par
ticular locality, and not until the final
count in the deciding convention is
his ballot cancelled. The sovereign
voter has this right to have the ex-
preston of his preference carried as
far in his partys deliberations as pos
sible.
While this rule has not been ex-
tended to the National Convention,
there is as much reason for it at
Chicago as there is at Raleigh. 1t is
the only fair way. All factions will
be asked to support the ticket nomi-
| for every man to be asked his opin-
! ion and have his expression carried
up until it is absorbed or nullified In
! the final majority which is thereby
determined to be the will of the peo-
/ pie.
/ The unit rule, whereby the bare
majority over-rides the large min.
| ority and casts the same vote as If the
body had been of one accord, is no,
necessary, nefther is 1t fair. 1t is the
trick which puts the balance of pow
er into the hands of the professional
politician and thwarts the will of the
, people. breeding discord and precipi
tating strife.
Every freeman is a host" in this
land of ours, and the voice of every
citizen should be heard. The wisdom
of the proportional strength rule In
the State Convention has been &C
knowledged by all. The same rule.
should apply to the National Conven
ton. The National Convention is {
big thing, but it is not larger thar
the voice of the voter, neither is il
more important than individual
rights. The Taft strength and tn,
Roosevelt strength as determined b,
a vote in the State Convention SHOULD
be carried up as cast.
