Attend^the Primaries
Saturday
. and assist in Selecting
the delegates
to the Convention
which is
to meet in Louisburg
on Monday,
and you will do
your duty.
Kixo Edward, of England, died
one day last week. George V succeeds
him to the throne.
From the impression some people
make we can't help but believe in
Darwina theory, except they hare
evoluted in statue only.
Tomorrow is the time for the prim
Aries and we hope that eyery man in
_ Franklin County that claims to be a1
democrat will g> out, and jtake a
part. ? t
Ws hope the Wake County 'Democrat
< may be able to contrell themselves
better in their mass meeting
tomorrow than they did some time
^ago.
Trk good roads .election ia
Yaungsville township wbiob waa

carried in favor of the good roads by
an overwhelming majority. Reports
aay tha majority was almost five to
one.
THE PRIMARY
Tomorrow (Saturday) ia the day
- for the primaries ef Franklin county
to be held, and Monday the convention.
It is all right for the eandidaUs
and their frianda to work fer whom
' , they please, but gentlemen de -this
in a manner that when the reeolt is
declarea you can feel that.you have
said 01 dooe nothing that will- hurt
the-feeliag of your opponents er the
friendly feeling that has exited
between you before. You might csft
to mind the indisputable fact that
only uae mau can be eelected te fill
each office and that there will neces
aarilv be someone detested. In thia
instance the other man will take his
ueirnt iusi iii uaru an youraeii or re
julCB over hie victory equally aa much
as VOU would. So let your work be si
man to a>au and let the best of feellag
be in evidence between all. De
not allow yourself to entertain feelioga
or criticise any person from the
fact that be did not auppoit you, bat
- keep siUnt and allow each man the
privilege of free action. And again
we would remind every Democratic
voter in Franklin County ef his doty
to attend these primaries. How can
~ yos expect yonr choice nominated
Tr?- when yon slay at home and the
friend of the other man in at work,
Tins is a mast important doty and
we hope that you will all realize the
fact that anleea yon pe ont to the pninarieeyoa
will have ao one to blame
but yoorself. The candidates want
yen to go oat, the party wants yon
i .1 ? to go oet sad it is your duty to your
?" , self, your family and your friends tc
go out and yssist in the selection el
Si, cindidittee to govern the affairs of
; * the County in the next election.
Dont let the responeibility rest spot
yourself, but go out.

Convention, and I Wke this occasion
to say to my frienUg, as well as to
the pyblie general*, that such statements
or intimations are not only malicious
but unqualified falsehoods. It
is one of the aqjust ^nd unfair mean*
that some of any political enemiea
have eeen fit so report to at this late

GUARDING WINDSOR. * 1
-N f
Famous Caatl* Prataotad at Evtry
Point by Soldiara and Polioa.
For an unauthorized person to
gain an entrance into one of the
king's palaces in England is nearly
an impossibility. - It h& been done, 1
but the number of times ccfaTd be 1
almost counted oif the fingers of a I
hand. I
Within the walls of Windsor cas- i
tie are treasures of priceless value, ,
and even if the court is not in resi- ,
dence ny una gun enter without liia presence
being known to the police. '
When the king is in residence at 1
Windsor the guards are doubled. I
Instead of onq man marching up |
and down with bayonet fixed between
sentry box and sentry box
there are two. , '
Then there are metropolitan po- i
lice men on duty at each gateway, i
as well as royal gatekeepers in scarlet
and gold livery. In. addition Jo_ j
that, there are plain clothes detectives
and night watchmen.
A lunatic seldom gets farther I
than Henry VIII.'s gateway at
Windsor. Tfce tittle police office is
just inside the gate, and here is officially
recorded every day anything
of note that takes place within the
precincts of the castle,
j, A few yards inside the gateway J
are also the quarters of the officer <
who is in command of the castle
guard. Telephones are installed all
over the castle, and the different
entrances are connected with the
main switchboard near the equerries'
entrance.
If a paper knife were taken ont of
the castle today it would be missed
tomorrow. Every treasure and 1
piece of furniture in Windsor castie
is entered in huge books, and J
photographs are kept of all the
most valuable articles. d
The sentries were always provid- 2
ed with ball cartridge until a T
guardsman fired three bullets into J
a stone elephant on the east terrace
of Windsor castle, which he mis- d
"took for a ghost in the mists of the
early-rooming. How they have to 9
depend ontheir bayonets.
It is very seldom that thefts j
take place at royal residences. The
police have power ^search all baes m
or parcels being conveyed from the A
royal palaces. Many, years ago a 2
sentry at Windsor castle managed 1
to hook down a valuable watch and-.J
chain from one of the royal apart- 4
ments with his bayonet on the end i
of his rifle, but he was quickly (
found out and punished.
A night watchman goes on duty
inside the castle at Windsor every
night and comes off in the morning.
In case of fire he would at |
once give the alarm, and in a very (
few moments the royal firemen and
castle guard would be on the spot
and all entrances would be closed 1
and guarded. The same system pre- 1
vails at the chief of the other royal
residences.
The penalty for a soldier failing
to perform his duty when on guard 1
outside royal residences is so severe 1
that there are very few eases indeed I
on record of men having to be tak- i
j en off their posts.?London Mail.
A Tale of Twe Hats. 1
H. M. Pcmberton in. a descriptive I
article in the English Art Journal i
on Blewbury writes of Morgan (
Jones, a miser whe Was once curate ,
in charge of that place. He died
worth ?50,000, and some curious
stories are given of his economy. It Z
is said he wTofe his sermons on J
pieces of paper torp from the walls
t J _Ll! J A- ?- s * * 1 *
nuu was oiuigeu to (18 in DC CI Willie |
his one shirt was being washed. On |
one occasion when walking in the (
fields he saw an old scarecrow having
a hat the brim of which was 1
sound. Jones seized the hat and 1
took off the' one he was wearing,
replacing it by that of the scare- |
crow. His coat, of many tatters, is ,
still in existence and is kept- in remembrance
by/ photographs which
are solrfin the neighborhood. I

What "Mayor' Maana.
The word mayor is-an Angeliciza- 1
tion of the Nornpan terra maire. It
was introduced as a title for the 1
chief magistrate of a borough-or l
city in the reign of Henry II. King <
John first granted the citizens erf
London the right of electing a
mayor annually. The prefix of lord
and the style of right honorable 1
were conferred by Edwafrd III. in 1
1354. For a long time thereafter I
York was the only other English |
city having a lord mayor, but! in
recent years the title has -been extended
to numerous' provincial
cities.?London Scraps. ^
Tha Dark Horae.
The phraae dark horab is believed
to have originated with Disraeli,
who in his novel "The Young 1
Duke" referred to-an exciting race
thus: "The first favorite was never
haaid_fiis- the second was never
seen after the distance post; all the
10 to l'? were in the rear, and a|
dark horse which had neveT been !
I thought of rushed past the grand
stand in sweeping triumph."?Eondon-Chronicle.
