suit. Waxen busts ov M. Necker and
of Orleans, two men idoliZed by the
masses, were forciDly taken from
neighborin' store and laurel wreaths
were placed about the busts and they
were carried in a great but tumult-
uous street parade. Near one Ov the
great public squares ov Paris the citi-
zens came in contact with regiment
oV German soldiers, for they had
hastily hired a few soldiers from that
country, custom not uncommon two
or three hundred years ago in some
oV the European Kingdoms. Shots
and blows were exchanged. A sol
der wuZ killed. Then a curious thing
occurred. A large number ov French
soldiers ran from their barracks and
began to fire upon the German regi-
ment which had been imported to as
slSt the French soldiers. Jealousy
may hev been the rea. cause. The
commander ov the German regiment,
Fflnce de Lambesch, then ordered
hiz regiment to retreat for the pur-

was sorry to see that some of the
biggest Republican counties in the
west voted solidly for Mr.. Pearson,
when they ought to have thrown
their influence to recognizing the
east. These big western counties
are already Republican, and they
cannot win many more recruits.
Down here is where the recruits must
be won, and western men have not
seemed to understand the situation
or to know how to help us.
I also notice that the Democratic
machine organs are expressing very
great pleasure because Marion But
Ter was not elected National Com
mitteeman. Now, if Roosevelt is de-
feated for the Republican nomina-
ton. the happiness of these same
Democrats will be complete.

Creenville Dispatch, 18th, to Char
lotte Observer
Local police authorities are max
Ing strenuous efforts to locate Nine.
Stella DuRant, a clairvoyant, who has
been unraveling the mysterious for
local residents for a month or more.
The lady did rushing business up
to Saturday, when she had a call
from w. d. Vaughn, well-to-do far
mer living near the city. Mr..
Vaughn was much impressed with the
clairvoyant's methods and in giving
sitting" TO the farmer she told
him that on his place in a certain
spot was buried a chest containing
several thousand dollars and for the
sum of 500 offered to give him in
formation as to the exact spot where
the box was buried. She told the
farmer many things about his life,
even calling him by name the min
ute he came into the room, all of
which so impressed Vaughn that he
readily forked over the 500. The
clairvoyant asked till Monday to give
the information, stating it would be
necessary to stay in a trance for six
or seven hours, during which period
she would draw map of the location
where the money might be found.
The farmer allowed her to keep the
money, and when he called to-day

In Regard to the Contest In the

The hypocrisy OF some OF the bolt

ever before seen IN . Republican

when the Harris-Andrevs crowd

yention in Raleigh on April 23rd.

office-holders and all. The Congress

the day before the State Convention.
knew the hypocrisy of the boiling
contesting delegates and further
knew that they were irregular and
regular delegation Of which L. F.
Butler was chairman. The same was
true as to the delegation from Frank
lin County, headed by Chairman T.
H. Whitaker. This writer was pres
ent as a spectator when the Franklin
County Convention was held. The
friends of Chairman Whitaker of
fered a list of delegates to the Con-
gressional Convention and the Assist
ant Postmaster at Louisburg and the
Postmaster at Youngsville offered an
other list of delegates as an amend
ment to the first list and demanded
a rising vote of the convention. This
Chairman Whitaker readily consent
ed to and asked all in favor of the
substitute delegates to rise. Only
five rose (and the Assistant Postmas-
ter at Louisburg pulled one of those
up against his WILD Then eleven OPP
posed to the substitute delegates
arose, and, of course, the substitute
delegates were voted down. Then
the Postmaster at Youngsville asked
Chairman Whitaker If the chair
would let him come as a delegate. Of
course the chair had no right to ap-
point a delegate, as that is strictly
against the plan Of organization, but
notwithstanding that fact, the Post
master at Youngsville, the Postmas-
ter at Franklinton, the Assistant
Postmaster at Louisburg and one
other walked out of the hall, without
staying to demand minority represen-
tation. Then the first list of dele
gates, headed by Chairman Whitaker,
were elected delegates to the Con-
gressional Convention by a unani-
nous vote. Then the delegates to
the Congressional Convention were
made delegates to the State Conven-
ton. So it will be seen that the
postmasters did not even stay to vote
on the delegates to the State Con-
vention.
When Mr.. J. G. L. Harris attempted
to take charge of the Wake County
Convention there was a motion be-
fore the house which had received a
second and, of course, no other mo-
ton was in order or could be con-
sidered until that motion was dispos-
ed of, and, besides, the county chair

SECOND EDITION OF MA
RION BUTLER'S RAIL
EIGH SPEECH.
Printed in Pamphlet Form
Sent Postpaid or by Ex-
press at 5 Cents q
Copy.

The first large edition of this
speech has been exhausted. The
demand has continued so great
that it has been necessary to
print a second edition. Every
Republican who wants to see his
party grow and win in the State
as well as the Nation should
get up a club of at least ten or
twenty for this speech and send
in his order right away.
The speech quotes from the
Bragg Fraud Commission Report
the facts which brand forever as
false the charge which the
Democratic machine politicians
have been making against the
Republican party for forty years
to the effect that they were gull
ty of issuing the carpet-bag
bonds and footing the State"
Mr.. Butler stated in his speech
that every copy of that Bragg
Fraud Commission Report had
been burned or destroyed, so far
as he knew, except the one copy
which he had. He quotes the
facts to show that it was lead
ing Democrats and not Republi-
cans who were responsible for
what footing OF the State was
. done.
The speech not only sets his
tory straight for the first time
on this important matter, but 1t
also gives the records Of both
: parties, and besides presents the
great living issues now before
the people in both State and
8 Nation. If a copy of this speech
= is put in the hands of every vot-
er in the State, it will mean the
. defeat of the Democratic ma
chine, which they so richly de-
serve, and which the future
growth and prosperity of the
. State demands.
Now is the time to distribute
such literature while the people
can read and think. 1t will do
ten times as much good now as
it will during the heat of cam
paign.
. The second edition is going
fast, so send in your orders at
. once. Address,

Celluloid Christmas card manufacture

The fire started in a front room on

reach the stairs the girls in the back

room, and before they realized their
danger, the flames had cut off the
means Of escape.

SCHOOL
SYSTEM NEEDED
IN SOUTH CAROLINA ACCORDING
TO THE STATE HIGH SCHOOL
INSPECTOR.
WHERE CHANGE Is NEEDED
Professor Hand Points Out That Edu-
eational Laws in the Past Six Years
Have Dealt Almost Exclusively With
Elementary Education.

Columbia.-Many Of u people
seem to be oblivieus Of the fact that
until within the past six years our
state school law dealt almost exclus-
lively with elementary school matters,
as if a school system were embraced
within the narrow but charmed limits
of the three RS. And but one act
has added to the range Or compass
Of the law-the high school act Of
1907. No state can lay claim to hav-
ing a system Of education until it
embraces elementary, secondary and
higher institutions; and no school
law is adequate until it provides for
the establishment, maintenance and
management Of all three types.
Whenever a symmetrical system Of
education shall have been wrought
out and given expression in a work
able school law, it must come directly
or indirectly from the brains and
hands of educational experts, from
educational statesmen. Those who
are to construct an efficient system
of education and interpret it in terms
of a legal code must be familiar with
educational systems in this and other
countries, must understand the philos-
ophy and functions Of modern educa-
ton, and must be able to adjust edu-
cational, economic and social forces.
1t is no reflection whatever upon any
one to say that the creative part Of
this work will never be wrought out
on the floor of a popular legislative
assembly, any more than to say that
an efficient system Of banking will
never be wrought out on the floor Of
such an assembly. In such a body
there are too many crude and diver
gent notions ever to be focused on. a
workable system, without the brains
aud Lands of the expert. Almost any
kind of school legislation proposed In
a popular assembly Of lawmakers
calls forth all manner Of crude, &C.
centric, illdigested and whimsical no
lions and schemes. On such occasions
every conceivable shade of opinion
from extreme radicalism to ultra con-
servatism finds free expression and
stubborn support.

reports published here that members
of the Illionis and Wisconsin national,
guards and of the regular army, gath
cred at Camp Douglas, Wis. to take
part in manoeuvers for which con-

in a drunken orgy a few hours before
the start of the campaign. IL is al
legged that officers in charge made no
efforts to put an end to the debaueh-
cry. Street brawls in which women
were insulted and soldiers fell in q
stupor in cutters are alleged to have
made the opening Of the campaign a
mockery.
