ADAMS PAINTED LURID COLORS, ETC. (Continued from 1st page) ed him not to permit the use of my oame before the caucus. Mr. Ken nedy and every other Republican member of the legislature are com petent and reliable witaesses as to this. Utile Buddy More Deserving. "Third, the next alleged fact is, that I wanted mv brother Lester, postmaster at Raleigh, while Judi."1 Adam- favored the ap pointment of Mr Hrigc-i andth it Jnd),'e Ad ams was out. The only color of truth in this statement is that I wanted my brother ap pointed, but I did not ask it as a personal favor, I aked for this appointment on the ground thai he was endorsed by a ma jority of the county Republican committee and by 11 majiiri y of the Keptiblicans of the whole county, and besides was not only as well qualified as any other county to render elli cient public service in that capacity, but that, besides he was more deserving from the standpoint of party service. "After laying these facts before State Chairman Adams I stated, in the presence of a doen or more prominent Republicans (whose names can be furnished and every one of whom will War out my statement; that 1 wanted him, however, in making the appointment, not to consider the personal equation as much as 1 would like to see my brother appointed and as much as 1 thought he deserved ill, but to do what, in his judgement, would most promote the up buildii 'g of the Republican party: that is, to d the most to make Wake county increase her liep'ililiran vote and advance steadily toward Republican success Mr. Adams, in the presence of thee parties, thanked e i for this statement and said that it was a I rrn t Kiiselllsh i;iid patriotic pi sitii ii to i take. "Cowardly and llase" Hung In. i "When, al last, Mr. Adams had decide,! to j recommend Mr Hiigg. lie came to ute with many explanations and apologies, saying that i he regretted not to recommend my brother j on account of his very strong endorsements, etc., hut hinted at some verv strong inlluen ces that he had to consider, and said it would relieve him ami the situation of much embarrassment if 1 would consent to the appointment of Mr liriegs. 1 ui him that 1 stocrl squarely by my former statement, and that if he had r-ached that conclusion, in spite of the fact", I would make no further objections, in as much as I considered Mr. Wriggs entirely competent to perform the public service ctliciently. Then he asked tne to go with him to the postntlice depart ment, so that they might understand there that the appointment of Mr. Briggs ould not result in any friction between us. I msented ami went with him When he had made his statement he called upon me to fay that under the circumstances I would not object, which 1 did. All this is known br other people liesides him and me There fore he cannot hurt me and he cannot help himself by such a cowardly and base false hood. One ol the "Wholly False" kind. "Continuing, Mr. Adams charges that I made the first attack on him and did it in an underhanded and unmanly way, and further Hays that at the same time I made an in direct attack on the Republican party of the State. That this is also wholly false is known to even the general public. Ichal Jerged Mr. Adams to specify when and where I ever criticised his course, except to hie face uniil he attacked me personally in the public prints. All 1 have ever had to say about Mr. Adams and his methods I have said to him face to face, or in letters written to him copies of which I have kept E-ery-body in North Carolina knows that 1 have never attacked any one liehind his lmck or in a secret manner All I have had to say about men and things I have said openly and above board and in no uncertain terms. Every Democrat in the State will admit this Mr. Adams' attempt to hide liehind the lie publican party of the State, by claiming that when I criticised him I attacked the party reminds one of the methods of Satan, who when discovered and exposed in the livery of heaven, raises the cry that the church is being attacked. Adams Repudiated at Home. "Further cn, Mr. Adams repeats his charge thai I have been repudiated by my own people ami am politically dead and ready for burial anil follows this with the statement that I have been guilty of treach ery, duplicity and ingratitude. All I care to say in reply to this is that I have heljied to change my county from one of the strong est Democratic counties in the State to one of the strongest Republican counties, and that 1 have never yet been repudiated by a majo ity of the Republicans of that county nor e-e:i by a majority of al! the voters of that county. Mr. Adams has succeeded in making his party grow smaller in Ids county, and liesides he has been repudiated y both a majority of the Republicans and a -im j'r ity of ail the voters in his county. Indeed, his county repudiated him u.ost severely for State chairman and that too lieeause tliey know him lietter than I di I He was also repudiated by his h me city and by the ward in which he live. Mr Adams' county oted ag&inst him in the State convention for State cha:rman on every ballot, and hat! i' not been for the la ae Rep b' can v t of my county he neverwculd have been elected. "Duplicity and Trea-hery."' A to duplicity I shall challenge him to specify. It is true that Josephtts Dhi iels has charged me with trencl.ery in kavug the Dem icratic party; he hag also cl arged me with treachery to the Populist party when I went into the Republican party. Mr. Adams has again lior rowed this woid frcm Mr. Daniels. Thus he serves nrticeon every recruit that if they should dare 'o leave their former political associations and come into Adams' patronage machine and make it grow uncomfortably large, thy will he branded by Adams, as well as Dr.n iele with the charge of treachery. Frog In the Well. Mr. Adams says further that since he has read me out of the party, he can now pro ceed to build up the party on the right bnes. The only fi iction that has occurred between Mr. Adams and myself has been over his effort to kill the Daily Industrial News, snd also over his actions in doing that which would make the party grn.v smaller instead of larger. His method of building up the party are like the efforts of the frog in at tempting to get out of the well, by cl'inbin up two feet during the day and falling beck three feet during ihe night. The small boy figured out long ngo wh-re the frog would boo'. Itnd. IN LOCAL TAXATION FOR PUBLIC ED UCATION. ETC (Continued fiom 1st pae) Popularity And Success of It In Xorth In 1900 there were in North Carolina only oO local tax districts; in 11107 there are 450 local tax distiicts. Three hui dred and sixty seven of these are rural districts or incopor ated villages of not m ire than five or six hundied inhabitants About one hundred of these have been established within the past twelve mouths. All the cities, larger towns and most of the larger villages of this State have adopted locul taxation. Tnese local tax districts are scattered from the seashore to the mountains and are to le found in all counties of the State except twelve No town or district, after having given local taxation a fair trial, has, so tar as I know, ever abandoned it permanently. A few that abandoned it teuiporarilv reulopted it after a few years. The communities that have adopted it will tie found as a rule, the most progressiva and prosperous. These progressive cou inuiiitics. some of which have been bearing this additional burden of taxation for more than twenty years, would not continue voluntaiily to lieur it if they ha i not found hat it paid lina'u ially, intel lectually and m tra'.iy. Lv.il taxation would not have s oread so rapid 'y among a couserv ative people like ours i; : lie success of it had not U'eii ileiii tns:ra-ed in the object -lessons of the communities !mt have adoptetl it.

It is to be regretted that eo mauy people spepd all they ettm and that some go in debt aud spend all thej can get credit foi besides what they earn. Every mail should think of the future and have sortie plans to prepare for it. No country can have permanent prosperity whose people spend and use everything within their leach. It should never be for gotteu that oil age is coming and that hard times may come. Every man who makes anything should try to lay by something for a "rainy day. Some thiuk because they cannot save large amounts it is useless to try to save anything.

Ashehoro, S. C. A Sunny Disposition. A very charming old lady says that if she had the power to choose the best from all the good things in life, she would not ask for wealth, because ot its responsibilities; she would not ask for beauty, because of its strain upon character; she "would not ask for health, glorious as the treasure is, nor for genius; but she "would pray for a sunny disposition as the boon that confeis mere hap piness upon its owner ind upon those with whom one comes in contact, than any other which falls to the 1 it of ar.y living creature, Most people would see nothing worth while in this poor woman's life; some would even commit sui cide were they situated as she is; yet she manages to find something beau tiful, something worth treasuring up in her memory even m her darkest days of sorrow. lier experiences ought to shame those of us who complain of our ic riniteiy better lot in life. If children were properly .trained to see the uncommon in the common, to find beauty w here other people see only ugliness; if they were train ed to find their enjoyment in the little experiences of life, we should not have the great seething unrest and discontent which we now find among all classes. The trouble is. we emphasize the wrong thins:?. If we were a little better off, if we had what our neigh bors have, we think we should be happy. Yet we know perfectly well that many of the most miserable peo pie in tne wor d are rich. We have no right to carry about in our faces and beaiing the black ilag of anarchy. We have uj right to ll.tin.t a gl.omy picture in the faes ot those who are struggling to rise above their uvubles and trials. Every man owes it to hi s fellow men to go aUni't with bright, cheer fill, hopeful, '.iptimistic face, radi ating sunshiue, joy, gladness, hope instead of blackness and despair. The human face ought to be a splendid picture, attractive, radiant with beauty, joy and hope. Iw is every man's outy to radiate encourage ment. O. S. Makdek. iu "Success Magazine." American stampede i-'or Canada. Thousands of American land owners are leaving their farms in the northwestern states for Canada, and conservative estimates illus trate that possibly morr than 100,000 Americans will settle there this year, and that next year a northward exodus from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, Michigan, Minne sota, the lakotas, Ohio and even states as far east as Massachusetts may reach the im pressive proportions of two hundred thousand persons . Do you realiz? the meaning of this move ment? T'ie Canadian government's analysis of last year's American invasion, shows that, the declared value of money and jiersonal effects carried into Canada by American settlers in 1900 from the states of Michigan, Montana, Illinois, Massachusetts, amounted to a total of f C.376.C20. Canada's gaiu is America's loss. IBt year's auia.ing migration means in figures ? 100,000,000 for Canada. Do not fail tw read this great story that means so much to every American.
