The Asheboro Cornier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A'YEAK Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. (WEntered at the Post Office at Asheboro a. 'econd C. Matter. , IIou. Spencer Adanis, chairman of the Republican executive com mittee in this State, made a speech in Asheville ou Saturday of last week, which the Industrial News says bounded the keynote of the State campaign. He said many things and not much either, some good and some otherwise. Among other things he said "political par ties must be judged, by what they have done." Just so; and the he publican party is so judged in .North Carolina and has been found wanting. Its record in the State when in power has been one of wreck and ruin. He says the Deni ocrats are now spending nearly two millions of dollars in the admi lus tration of th affairs of its govern ment. Bless your life, his party expended during oue year of its ad ministration of the affairs of the State mere than eight million dol lars. It is true that n-ost of it was stolen. It ifl true it was several years ago, but still it is a part of their history. Some years they did not spend so much as two millions; but the Democrats have something to show for the expenditure made. If the Bepublican party has in creased the pric of bull calves ten times the price in and the price of sheep four times that which prevailed in 1S96, then Mr. Spencer Adams, the head of the Republics party in this State, should tell wage earners in the mills and factories of the State-hy it is that the Re publican party does not also show the same favoritism to the over worked wage earner. Why should the cattle raisers of the middle and western states be so favored while the poor man who works day by day does not realize a corresponding increase in the income which i receives. They call Judge Adams' Ashe ville speech a "Keynote speech." It will no doubt le remembered .as the "Bull Calf" speech, because of the remarkable declaration that "Calves that were bringing $1.50 in 1896 are now worth from $10 to 15 apiece.'- He also said 'that "Sheep that brought one and one halt cents per pound are now bring ing five to six cents per pound." iOf .course he has reference to the price of sheep on foot. Why Judge Adam -made this statement no well .informed man can undertake to He has been misinformed, lie ought to know better. Marion Butler has begun his per iormarrcee ajrain in North Carolina. This time he broke loose at Pitts boro at the recent Republican con vention in Chatham county at which ex-congressman Atwater opened the ball with prayer. This brings to mind Mr. Atwater's speeches in the campaign of 189. They will be remembered in this county chiefly for their condemnation of idarion Sutler, in which he called on God v forgive him for his connection with the fox, Marion Butler. Now we liud him praying in a convention at which Butler preaches from a Re publican text. Judg Adams in his "Keynote" speech rays the Democrats believe nothing, have no . plane, no policies, no fixed purpose except to get into office, etc. At the very moment that Mr. Adams was making this statement, the Republican leaders of his own county were in session engaged in a fnrious row over the spoils of office and the Guilford county Republican executive com mittee was voting the county chair man out of office all on account of -a row apd quarrel over the Greens boro portofflca. ' , . . If ,"j.""ice of bull calies-wid vfencreased from four to '-'e price in 1806, no n& it out. ' and daughters, If el turned from Jack CLARK HOWELL IN DEFEAT. Ulark rieweii ;vm defeat for " the nomination' " for Governor of Georgia published a long editoiial in his paper, the At lauta Couat&utiou, closing with the following: yl f ; p ;. ' "Now. that at iis jll &$r3hefrst thing for n8-U jto, do is to accept the result and pull togetfier for tmf welfare of the state. . r "I renew my pledge of heart, hand and bead, "to the perpetuation of its glory. "Georgia is "good enough for me"; whoever may be her chief executive. I have never yet sought the shadow in defeat, arid it is too late to begin now. Vhatew happens I prefer to live in the' sunshine of the sen timent so aptly expressed by Stan ton: "This old world we are livin' in Is niihtv hard to heat; We get a tfiorn with every rose. But - ain't the roses sweet!" 'Defeat is the thorn today, but I would not exchange it for the friendships that have been so gener ously manifested in this campaign. Ihev are the roses that make defeat easv. " " Republicon ringsters and their hirelings and " boobies and toadies who, like dpgs, eat crumbs from the table of their masters will no doubt be heard to say this or that influence controlled the peoples convention on last Stttufdajv y,.Oi tha 8th of .-September there, will' assemble in this i'berg" an, aggregation that will take orders from higher up. Demo cratic conventions, are not engaging in that business". Are likewise God fearing etc. citizens who cannot be bought and soldike cattle. hen this is admitted, then there will be no further necessity for Char ley Reynold's occupying further time with the public in his weekly efforts to show how a few wicked men con trol the affairs of the State, by the worst possible methods. If the tariff policy jaf the Repub-. ncan party ;ias increased tne price of veal aud mutton fom four to ten times, the prices in '1896, . then Judge Adams should teli'our laoor ing population why it is the Repub lican party does not insiease the wages paid laboring men in some reasonable ratio as compared with the food he eats. CUBAN SITUATION. Action l The Mate Department Ki cites Wonderment at National Cap ital. W. W. Price, writing to the Charlotte Observer, mferrs that de spite the outward indifference in the Department of State at Washington evidences of activity regarding the situation in Cuba have cropped out. These little evidenc s have caused the people to wonder if the end of the independent government in that island is near at hand? President Palma has a good big task before him in quelling the re bellion even if he is able to do it at all, and indications seem to permit that the L'nited States government will compel peace with American soldiers. There is much valuable property on the island owned by Americans who are seeking to pre vent the devastation that they see near at haud. Another question that has arisen is w hether or not President Roose velt would recommend the annexa tion of Cuba to the United States, should conditions there become so bad that American troops would have to be sent in to preserve order. Commercial interests on the island appear to want annexation. At the same time the recent re call of Herbert C. Squires, as Min ister to Cuba, was on account of his lean toward annexation and was returned to the 'states at the request of the Palma administration. Others believe that interference by the United States would strain tbe relation between this country and England, in as much aa Cuba has been flirting with England aver since they were given their inde peadence. The visit of Gen. J. Franklin Bell, Chief of the Staff of ih Army, and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, to Oyster bay toll week is significant that' cond)tj?aaIti diplo matic circles are disturbed ;.'Mrst J.

KING. . lU;uitiHi( ( lii'lsti.ui Character Called Internal lic-t. Mrs. King, wife "f Mr. Janus A. King, of Why Not, departed this life August 22, 1 tiuK. Her lvniaiuswere currjed to Why Not Cemetery for interment ou August 23d. '. She liatjibeen in feeble health for some tiriKvbut tbe immediate cause of her death was heart failure. Mrs. King was a true woman, pi ous and peacable at home, coustatii aud active at church, and was never kiown to speak harmful of any one. In her death the community loee one of its best friends; the church, a loyal membei; her grief stricken husband, a good and affectionate wife; aud her six children, a true and faithful mother. Though her body is laid to rest until the resurrection morning, Mrs. King is net dead; she speaks in the lives she has influenced. No more on earth will we hear her voice nor her pleasant greeting, but may we all emulate her tine example of wo manly pride, christian piety and dieing faith. We now look forWard with an everttiengthening faith to the time when we shall find the. dear one shining with celestial bright ness around the throne of God in heaven where thousands of angels stand.
