Monger-Martin.
The following account of the mar
riage of Mr. .3 * M. Monger and Mrs.
Kittle Martin, which ia taken from the
last issue or the Moore County New^
will be read with interest by many
people in Lee and adjoining counties:
Ex-Sheriff J. M. Monger and Mra.
Kittle J. Martin were married Wednes
day at noon at the bride’s home in
Bensalem township. The ceremony
was perfoimed by ltev. J. O. Fulbrlght,’
pastor'of the Baptist church of this
place, in the presence of a few dose
friends of the parties. Among those
attending from Carthage was Sheriff
Daniel A. Blue. No marriage in recent
years has created so much interest in
Moore and Lee counties where the dis
tinguished parties are so well known.
The bride is the widow of the late
'llowell Martin and has many friends
throughout the county. She resides on
her vast estate on the head waters of
McLendon’s creek, where she conducts
one of the best farms in this section.
Before her marriage to Mr. Martin she
was a McDonald, and closely connected
with the lato Colonel Duncan Murchi
son. The groom has been prominent
in this county all his life, having beep
Sheriff for a number of years, and is
perhaps better acquainted with the peo
ple of Mdore and Lee counties and
knows their histories better than wy
man living. Since the formation of
Lee oounty he has been a resident of
that oounty, but his many friends In
Mo^re will be pleased to know that he
will hereafter reside at the bride’s home
described above.
BRYAN HITS HUGHES.
Republican Nominee Get* a Bile*
ter When He Took a tick at
the Commoner. .
At Kama* City Friday William
J, Bryan, former. Secretary of
State, replied to criticism of bis
attitude toward civil service made
by Charles E. Hughes, the. Re
publican presidential nominee, in
a statement in which be said he
had “enforced the civil service'
law to the letter.” Mr. Bryan
challenged the Republican nomi
nee to state whether he had given
appointments to “deserving Re
publicans” while Governor of
New York. The statement was
made in answer to recent speeches
of Mr. Hughes which quoted a
letter Mr. Bryan had written to
Receiver of Customs Vick at
Santo Domingo, inquiring as to
what positions could be obtained
to “re ward deserving Democrats.”
Mr. Bryan admitted the letter as
it has been quoted.
“I am not ashamed of it,” the
statement read. “The letter was
written to an appointive officer
whose office was not under the
-civil service and the inquiry was
made in regard to offices which
were not under the civil service.”
“When he was a candidate for
Governor,' Mr. Hughes received
the support of the railroads Of
New York and he generously re
paid the debt by vetoing the two
cent passenger rate bill. He did
not describe that as shameful.
When a candidate for Governor,
he received the support of the
New York tax dodgers, the own
ers of ‘swollen fortunes’ and he
pald'hia debt by sending a mes
sage to the Legislature protest
ing against the income tax amend
ment to the Federal Constitution.
He does not describe that as
shameful. He is now being sup
ported by the railroads of the
United States and he expects to
pay them back by aiding them to
escape State legislation and find
a haven of security in ‘exclusive
Federal control’ over the rail
roads. He is being supported by
the shipping trust and expects
to pay them back by helping
them to prevent Government
competition. He is supported by
the trust magnates and expects
to pay them back by shielding
them from punishment for
(extortion"" which they desire

blood and squandering money
raised by tax-payers in order to

investments.”
Thought the Last Tramp Had
Soonded.
I read 'With interest, in The
Express of August 4tb, a descrip
tion of the explosion which oc
curred tnrfilack Tom Island, and
can assure yon that, although
newspapers are frequently ac
cused of having a mania for ex
aggeration this description is well
within the bounds of accuracy.
,1 can also assure you that it is
not a pleasant sensation, by auy
means, to be awakened at 2 a. m
to find your bed trying to do the
‘‘Pox Trot” or the “Rhinoceros
Roll” to the tune of forty-two
centimeter guns and rattling win
dows. ,
I live at Montclair, N. J., on a
mountainside which overlooks
New York City and the scene of
the explosion fifteen miles away,
and in the midst of the excite
ment I rolled out of bed not
knowing whether Gabriel bad
blown his trumpet or whether it
was merely the “Western Front"
transferred to New York over
night, but after watching the
flashes for a few minutes, caused
by car-load after car-load of ex
plosives, I was convinced that
“The Last Trump” had not sound
ed anyway, and knowing that
thoro were about five millions of
patriotic Americans between me
and the coast I decided that it
was up to them to entertain any
invaders till daylight. So I went
back to sleep.
On my way to the offices in the
city Monday morning, following
the explosion Sunday morning.
I noticed scores of plate glass
store fronts that had been crum
bled like egg shells by the force
of the explosion. However, with
the Ingenuity which characterizes
so many New York business men,
a number of the stores had taken
advantage of the explosion for
advertising purposes, using largo
canvasses where the glass front
once was. On one these words
appeared: “The explosion blew
out our windows. Now is a good
time for you to blow in and take
advantage of our August Sale
bargains.” And on another one
I noticed this: “It will take more
than eighty cars of war munitions
to blow up the furniture bargains
in this store—they are nailed
down for you,”
The damage caused by the ex
plosion has been variously esti
mated at from twenty to forty
million dollars. The exact num
ber of fatalities will probably
never be known, as some persons
were doubtless blown to atoms.
The loss of life would have been
enormous had the explosion oc
curred during the day when the
streets and wharves are crowded,

| Wilson Backing All Phases of
Preparedness.
A statement issued from the
White House calls attention to
the fact that preparedness does
not consist merely of enlarge
ment of the Army and Navy and
that the President had given his
support unreservedly to measures
looking to the co-ordination of
production, transportation and
industry. Part of Mr. Wilson’s
statement follows:
' The-President has given his
unreserved endorsement to cer
tain measures, not directly relat
ed to Army and Navy expansion,
which are being taken in behalf
of National preparedness. Pre
paredness does not consist merely
in the enlargement of the Army
anti Navy, but necessitates co
ordination in production, trans
portation and industry. A pro
vision of the Army bill for a
council of National defense is
destined to meet this require
ment. The council will consist
of the Secretary of State, the
Secretary of War, the Secretary
of the Navy, the Chief of Staff
to the Army, an officer of the
Navy of the rank of captain, or
of higher rank, and six persons
to be appbinted by the President,
who shall be authorities on ques
tions relating to public utilities,
industry or natural resources.”
