The stare o^ uiorining sing, 'and aoundleas

from sphere to sphere.
Each flower ts alwavs sending incense
up
Aa if in act of holy worshiping.
Till fragrant earth is one great alter,
like
To heaven where saints their praverfilled
censers swing,.
"The stars sehd out a thousand rays, |
writ full
Of mysteries we cannot read nor see, j
Of histories so long, and gone? forth |
So vast, the volumes till infinity.
Celestial presences have walked with

Alluring liim to Nebo's lofty height;
Transfigured forms in tender light, too j
oft
Invisible to our low range of sight. I

It is strange to os to see How far]

The man who resorts to "throwing
mud" is the one who commands
the least respect.
WK'are proud to sav that the |
Franklin countv people are wise1
j
enough to see through the recent
Senatorial Controversy.
Anyway the question of estab- i
lishing a market house for Louisburg
should be referred to a committee
with the power to act.
Section 59 of the charter of Lou-!
isburg of 1899 gives to the Board of j
Commissioners the necessary power'
to establish aod maintain a market {
house.
A criminal assault was made on
a respectable white widow lady aged j
60 years, by a negro brnte. in the j
heart of Rockingham cm last Satur*
: day night.
Sunday's paper gave the information
that Governor Kitchin had
pardoned tix more criminals. At
this rate the State's prison will prob- j
ably soon be empty.
It iu?w looks like jt is, up to the
administration in ttie horimer matter,
as Geo. M. Reynolds, of Chicago,
testifies that in Vila own knowledge the
alleged message was delivered by
Hinee.

Tiiebb should be some law by
which the Board of Town Commissioners
could publish the list of delinquent
tax pavers each year that
those who pay their taxes may know
who it is that does not.
Bkak. 10 mind that a movement is
to be started to erect a monument
to tberaising of the fiTst Coofeder->
ate flag here in a short 'while. This
is the mne thing for which every
citizen of houisburg should be proud
of.
If the present Board of Commis
sioners will devise some plan to collect
ail the delinquent taxes due the
town they will make for themselves
a record that will be greatly appreciated
by the majority of oitizens of
ji, Louisburg.
Fob the bent tit of'those who have
been interested In having the Board
of Town CommatManers make an annual
statement and in order to dear,
t up any outside misunderstanding in
behalf of the Board wa have been
. -qyirilii to make a statement
The only thing bearing on this sub- u
ject is section 3a, which reads. u
"That the Treasurer shall make out a
e
annually a fair transcript of the re- Q
ceipts and disbursements on acoount s
of the town for the eeneral inspec- p
tion of the citizens, anil cause the n
same to be posted before the door e
of the Mayor's office at the end ot t,
the fiscal year, or printed in some c
newspaper published in the town of p
Louisburg." f

PUT UP OR SHUT UP. *
Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of New ?
Jersey, has found a new motto,
which while it is somewhat inele- ^
gant is full of force and pointed- *
: nees. Last week at Ocean Grove, f,
IN. J., he delivered an address in- oi
tended to cover the present cohdi- la
ii)Q 9f things political, and tbej^'
heartiness of the applause which
greeted him is indicative of his su,c- Q(
cess.
"The people are coining into qi
their own," he said. "Some gentlemen
don't raalize it. I have met V,
ol
some who thought the government
belonged to them. There have e,
been parties that thought the same hi
thing. If you handle a thing con-J01
stantly, manipulate it and keep it in ^
your pocket, you get the impression gj
that it belongs to you. Some day a sj
big hand reaches into your pocket, f?<
takes out its contents and you go to tr
the courts and find out that it w; sn't "

stand on the side and make disparag- se
ing remarks unless he has some so- cl
lution to offer, A favorite but inel- w
egant motto of mine recently has
been: 'Put up or shut up.' Let us (
here and now begin to make ourselves
capable of drawing up a new N
Declaration of Independence. Let in
as make ourselves a committee of ^

It is not so long ago in N'ew Jer at
sev t iat platform declarations suchj ci
as those of Gov. Wilson would havep3
been laughed at. Xew Jersey, the
mother of trusts, was as boss-ridden j p,
asPennsylvania and California and | lit

dom the people enjoyed was such : w
and only such as the big ringsters in te
both parties chose to dole out. To- m
day, thanks to Gov. Wilson, the I ta
bosses are down and out, the people I ht
have coine or are coming into their >
full political rights and a wave of I

critic who censures without doing ^

bruahed'aside. "Put up or shut np"
is the, rauzcle 'Dor. Wilson pre- yc
scribes for him. But the man who ar
can huiid as well yaa tear down is q
wanted as a signer to the new de- D
claration. He is wanted in other ea
States than New Jersey and perhaps ?
in other States more than in New
Jersey. Constructive statesmanship 0|

A GREAT SPEECH w
"It was our privilege, while in Washington
last Monday, to hear the great ~
speech of Senator Simmons, in oppoai- ?
tion to the Republican party measure, ^
known as the fkinadian Reciprocity _
Bi 1, which is supported by many
Democrats in the Senate. {!
- "Our senior senator spoke for three ~
hour*, and daring the greater part of ,
he time, war under fire from some
half dozen of the ablest Democrat Sen- ""
ators, who were attacking his- Demo- m
cracy and endeavoring to confuse him. ,
It looked like a concerted aad premeditated
attack and an attempt to impeach
the Sena tor's Democracy on the part Of k
the * ultra-progressive Democrats. C4
Among this Democratic Sena tori who "
attacked him were Ken, of Indiana,
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi; 0;
j Stone and Rood of Missouri. pi

uanner in which he handled himself f
mder vicious attack, sn<l the ability 1
nd cool courage with which he defend
d himself and position. It was worthy ?
f note, too, that in not a single intance
did he descend from the high
lane of battle that so well becomes a
tember of that great body. He yieldd
not at all to the insidious invitations
nd temptations provided for him to
hrow mud. In every instance, he took
are of himself, and not a single thrust
enetrated bis armor. The attack
ailed, whatever its object was and
rhoever was behind it. The Senator
merged from the contest with accululated
laurels and with honors of
ar.
"The attack on Senator Simmons uner
such ci rcumstances ig to be deplored,
ltd will react on his' assailants who
ere thoroughly discomfited by their
tilure to break the force of his speech
r successfullyTmpeach his party regurity.
The people know too well the
enator's eminent services to Pemo acy.
and tidelty and courage under all
mditions, to countenance such methis.
"When you come to think of if, ifcretired
a high order of courage and intpendenee
for Senator Simmons to
ite on the Lorimer case and on the
her matters that have given opporinity
for attack, according to his hon>t
sentiments, wjien the country was
>w ling for the other side, and this just
1 the eve of the Senatorial primary in
lis State. Those who know him best
ly that the courage displayed by Mr.
immons in these matters is in all relects
characteristic of him. A denia>gue
or a time-server would have t
immed his sail to meet the prevailing
inds- Senator Simmons refused to so
irfeit his independance and self-relect.
"We wish to state here that The
cho has not allied itsell with any
natorial candidacy, and is not es- "
insing at this time, the cause of any
the candidates. What we have had
i say is entirely disassociated from the ^
natorial fieht. Rut Hn rocont +V><? I

ell started against the Senior Senator
oiu this State. Surely, if any man in ^
le South may with all right lay claim ^
> the name of Democrat, that man is ?
: who led the Democratic party of ,
orth Carolina out of the wilderness, J
what were perhaps the darkest days
the party's history in this State. ^
nd we venture the prediction, that A
le supporters of any candidate will
id it mighty bad policy to question
le Senator's democracy before the 1
ink and file of the party, the greater
irt of whom still are proud and reice
that they were members of "the A
Id Guard of '98 and 1900." These ^
en still love their old general and an X
tack on his character and Democracy, j
ther at home or in Congress, is not
ilculated to wiu their support for an- ^F
her candidate.
"There's no excuse for such an at
ck on Mr. Simmons anyway. We be- ^
;ve in common with thousands of >
her people, that Mr. Simmons' vote
as wrong on lumber, and lias no doubt
ien so on other questions during his A
n years in the Senate. But whatever ?
istakes he has made have been miskes
of judgment. His ability and ^
inor are above question. His hand
ig of the question of reciprocity Mon- ^F
ly, as well as his presentation of his ^F
vn defense and the confounding of his ^
saiiants, was masterly. He showed a ?
lorough knowledge of all the intricate J
id manifold phases and details of the 1
atter, that caused Senators to wake
