The above announcement was issued just after the ceremony Mon day morning, and came as a surprise to the many friends of the young couple. The wedding was quietly solemn ized at the beautiful home of the bride's parents on Sunset Avenue, in the presence of a few immediate lelatives and f: lends of the familus After the ceremony the happy couple left for Frauklinvilie, where they will make their home.

Mr. Elkins also has many friends in Asheboro, having been operator at tne depot nere prior to his transfer to Franilinville a few months ago, where he now holds a position as depot agent for the Southern Railway. The announcement came as a complete surprise, and when their many friends had been apprised of the fact there was a ru9h for the grocer and rice was at a premium. Charging the depot where the bride and groom were waiting for a train, Mr. and Mrs. Elkins were hrterallv stormed with the tiny missiles.

Continued From First Page. portioned funds due districts to the amount of 399.27. His books also showed that he had overpaid school orders to the amount of $85. fj'd. This shows that the school fund at that time lacked $484.!i0 of being auvthing. It had gone below ZERO. In other wor.:8, the board of education was in debt or behind with its accounts to the amount of $4S4.90. At the close of the school year June 30, 1 900, the treasurer's book 8 showed a balance of $2,488. Hi, and be bad the money. Of his amount $1,279.79 was money that had been apportioned to districts and was subject to the. orders, of school committeemen. The re mainder, $1,208.37, belonged to the general school funds of the county. Adding $484.90 and $1,208.37, we have $1,693.27, the amount the school fund has gained over and above running expenses since the Republicans went out of power. Does that show any incompetency, as had been charged by Republican politician? Every Republican politician and every 'ittle Republican paper in this State is now making a united at tack on the public school officials. If any person w ho reads this cares to do so he can tell from what sourse all these little Repnblican politicians and papers get their orders. One has only to read Mar ion Butler's Bpeech at the opening of tke campaign in Eastern North Carolim. Simultaneously Chair man Adams was making the same speech in Western North Carolina. Marion Butler, the traitor, repudi ated bond collector, turncoat, rene gade, deceiver, the man who; is will ling to sell his stite for a fee, is the lender in this light. Spencer B. Adams is his mouthpiece, not the leader of tha Republican party in North Carolina. Chairman Ailams occupies exactly the same place' in the Republican party that a horn occupies on a phonograph. While Chas. A. Reynolds and other Republican postmasters are out yelling foi Butierand his crowd, leaving their duties as. postmasters, and, of course, drawing (heir salar ies, they are trying to intimidate county superintendents from mak ing political speeches. One little patmf-page paper says that a county superintendent's PUBLIC ACTS should be neutral, I want to ask the people of Randolph county if the county superintendent under Republican rule was neutral?" Is he today neutral? I understand that he Is now connected with one of .the strongest educational institu tions in this county. Is he at his post? ' Is he talking politics in pub lic places? Furthermore I waut to ask what kind of proposition he made as to the appointment of town ship school committeemen when he was in power? Did he recommend the appointment of one negro on each township school committee? Answer this, but don't dodge the question, nor all speak at once! I regret to refer to such unpleasant things, but. the challenge was laid down, and I have accepted it. Is it wrong for a connty superin tendent to make political speeches? Ought he to resigu before making them? If so it is wrong for public school co.umirieeiiien. Has any Republican yet suggested that the three of tneir candidates who aie school committeemen ought not tc take part in partisan politics? Has any Republican said they ought to resign? No, of course not, for they are Republicans' As for my nurt. I do dot think thev ouirht to resign on that account, for they are; go d committeemen, and 1 think no, less of them because tuey dare to , exercise their rights as free citizens, I neither do I intend resigning or i quitting the political field until i every Federal officeholder in the Republican party iu JNortn Uaroli ua quits the Held and goes back to attend to the duties of the office to which he was appointed. My opini on is that School officers have just as much right in the political field as postmasters and other Federal officers. Of course, I do not claim that officers serving under Civil Service regulations have any right to take an active part in partisan politics because they knew when they accepted, their offices that the Civil Service regulations forbade it, and they should obey the laws and regulations of the Civil Service Commission. Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker of the National House of Represen tatives, receives money from the United States Treasury, which is replenished by both Democrats and Republicans. Is he not touring the United States in a soecial train making political speeches? How many Republican papers think-he should resign? Mr. R. D. Dou glass, postmaster at Greensboro, edits the Daily Industrial News, the most purtisau political paper in the state. How many Republicans think he ought to resign the Greens boro postmastersbip, or quit poli tics? Not one, for he is on their side. Two years ago the Republi can candidate for Congress ia this district, was postmaster at Raudle mau. Did be resign before enter ing the campaign? Has he yet rt signed? Has any Democrat ever claimed that it was his duty to re sign? No; Democrats accord Re publican postmasters the priviledge of making all the political epseches they desire to make, for, as I see it, they do the Democratic party no ! harm. The unfairest thing ever known in political annals has been attempt ed this year in North Carolina.) Every Republican politician aud I news paper has attacked the man agement of the public schools, aud when a county superintendent dares to stand up before the people and defend his lecoid and that of his party the Republican papers and campaign orators attempt to create public sentinent against his being allowed to make political speeches. Yet no court iu our couutry, no fair man, or party with a clean re cord would dare to accuse a man without giving him the "right of defending himself. I w ll be frank enough to say I would have taken au active interest in the success of my party even if the opposition had seeu fit to let the public school re cord alone; but when I saw the united and unwarranted attack that was being made on the manage ment of the Bchools, 1'then decided to defend the record of which the Democratic party is proud, and to huld up before the people of Ran dolph county the record of the party that preceded us. It is certainly a cowardly man who has not the courage to stand up and defend a record of which he is proud. Where is the Republican that at tempts to prove the educational re cord of the Democratic party to have been any other than progress ive? Where is the man who can prove that under the Republicans the public schools in this county did not take a backwaid step? These are two questions that the public records settle. Then I as sert that the election of the Demo cratic ticket is necessary for the continuance of the present pro gress in public education. Go to the records of the two parties, vot er, and you will see that the elec tion of the Republican ticket means a step backward, that the election of the Democratic ticket mertns con tinued educational progress. To the Republican school com mitteemen and teachers I want to say that the criticisms in this arti cle are in answer to a charge made by politicians who knew nothing "f the relations that have existed be-iW-een us. I want to assure you that I shall continue to co operate with you in every endeavor to im prove the educational facilities of your districts, and ho differences in political opinion shall divide us on this greatjand important question so far i6 my official ants are con cerned. I shall be glad to have you come to my. office and talk with me on the school question aj any time, and your schools shall receive every benefit that I may be able at any time to provide. J. M.
