Southern Hospitality Extended The President Larries With It no Politi cal Meaning Every VUltor to TUe Mouth Ih Given Ovation. Special Correspondence. Washiugtou, D.C, October 12th. The general opinion expressed by visiting politicians to this city, both Democrats mid Kepubli. uus, is that President. Roosevelt is scheming for a nou.inatiuii fur a third term. Iu this 1 do u jL agree with them for I believe the Piesident too truthful and too much of a man to go back on his pledge to the people and those Republican aspirants wno desire to succeed Lim, which he voluntarily made on t lectinu night 1901. It is quite p.jfcsdlle that. Iij would be pleased if the Republican Conven tion should nominate him in spite of his repeated declaration to his friends that he declines to again be a candidate, for a ret n sal to accept "the crown' when cil'.-red would be unique in Ameician p ill tics, and almost ii the world's history. The welcome that the President has re ceived u his Southern trip means nothing us fur as party politics is concerned, for Iowa and Illinois will give a Republican majority, and Missouri and the other South ern States will give a Democratic majority, whoever are the candidates. The people of the States bordering on the Mississippi River and its tributaries are so anxious for the im provement of the rivers that they would greetanyone with enthusiasm who has influence to help the pro jected improvements. Not tut what Theodore Roosevelt the man has many enthusiastic admirers, both Democrats and Republicans, and Theodore Roosevelt, the President, has a band of devoted adherents composed of partisan politicians who ko has rewarded with federal offi oes. These, of course, and their relatives and friends are ready at all times to shout tor the dispenser of patronage with the hope of continu al, ce and advancement to add to their zal. Every President when invite1 to visit localities has met with similar ovations. The reported fusion between Hearst's Independence Leagae and the Republican machine of New York 'hty on the legislative, county and City ticket is a surprise to the friends here of Mr. Hearst, and Democrats generally. When Mr. Hearst gave out in his interview the other day that in future the Inde pendence League would make its own nominations on the high moral ground that both the old parties are corrupt, people wondered what Mr. Deal si's intentions were politically. Yet, now, at the first opportunity, we are told that the Republican machine managers and the League have agreed upon a division of the officers, and Mr. Heartt's political manager is to run as the condidate of both the League and the Repub licans for one ot the principal offi ces. When Mr. Hearst was the caudidate for Governor of New York, as the regular Demociatic nominee, the Republicans could say nothing too bad about him, yet now they ttppear to be hand and glove with him. The staid old New Yoi k Tribune only approves the fnrioii uf the Republican party with the League on the ground that "the 6e may justify the means" and th.it good may come of evil. Good b -mis: the chance of electing a few R. publican officials and the evil it it pr -timed the association with Mr. Beirut and hit satellites of the In dependence League. Tammany is an i el of light compared to this tj i : I v alliance ml with good can dl t -h all Demeerats will hope to see t ie defeat of the Republican ri'ij; i id the Hearst League whose Oii'v bjct seems to be secure offi flu! p tsitious aud disrupt the l) ii cmcy. ; I he most important Democratic n -f the pt t week is th viMti f I iii i Shtrp' VYilliann to this cif- '-hi 1 the a inouucemenc ty his fn ii s that more than half of hm fi i-. i 'ongressnien who ore Demo. crii. hive urged, him to accept tiie I'-. leadership ujaia and have p.

He admir. ably fills the two Democratic re qunements of honesty and ability, aud is better eqipped than any other man in the llouse today for the position of minority leader. HATTMAN ALBRIGHT. Pretty Marriage at Moffitt Ist Thurs day. There was a very pretty nome marriage at the home of the bride's pareuts, on the 10th of October, 1907, when Mr. Frederick Uattman of Pittsburg, Pa , aud Miss Sallie A. Albright, of Moffitt, weie united iu marriage by the bride's father, Rev. II. A. Albright. The maid of honor was Miss Marv Al- briirht. of Moffitt. N. C. The best man was W. II. Al blight, if Vul dosta, Ga. The guests were Wiss Ida Albright, of Aberdeen, N. C, a sister of the bride; Messrs. R. L. Albright, J. W. Albright and fami lies, and Miss Ethel Cox, of Cole ridge, N. C. LEASED FOUNDRY. II. A. Yearsln, of Ahi'bnro, Assumes Control of the lliscoe Machine Shops. B. A. Yeargin, of Asheboro, has leased the liiscoe foundry ai.U ma chine shops and will assume charge at once. The deal was con su muted last week. The pkut is equipped for turning out boilers, engines, mill supplies and especial attention will be given light and heavy repairs on all kinds of machinery. At present five skilled machinists are employed. Mr. Yeargin is himself a master boiler maker and machinist and will have personal supervision of the plant. We Should Have Mora R. K. Ii. Route. Randolph stands sixth in white voting population in the State and there are some four counties in the State being as large in territorial extent, bnt there are in the whole county only twelve R. F. D. routes, running out from Asheboro, the county Beat, when 'attached to four of them. Take the daily route from Asheboro to Hill Store, there could be easily established an R. F. D. route running from Asheboro to Mechanic aud thence back to Ashe boro via White House and Ulah, or vice versa. At Mechanic another route "looping on to this" should be established leaving Mechanic on the arrival of the K. F. D. cairier from Asheboro to Mechanic and go ing by way of Farmer's, Martha, Bombay, New Hope Academy, Bur ney's Mills, up by Eleazer and thence up the Uwharrie River. Be foie the advent of the R. F. D. in this State Randolph County had more post oiices than any county in the Slate and no doubt has more now than any other county. The county is not only one of the largest and best counties in the State, but has the best worked dirt roads of any county in the State. There are no macadamized ror.ds here as there should be and us there will be in a few years, but the dlit roads in this county are in good con dition when compared with most other counties in the State. Mr. R. C. Johnson to Return to Asheboro Mr. R. Clay Johnson, who for merly was a clerk in the store of Mr. W. J. Miller, has decided to return to Asheboro to eugage in business. He has rented from Messrs. M. W. I'airish and Eugene Lew"llen the new brick store house nearjbe M. P. chuicb, oi South Fayetteville Street, now occupied! by the Asheboro Department Store Co. Mr. Johnson baa been con ducting a general store at Martha, ii Coucoid township 'or several years. Mare New Baslneai Buildings. Messrs. W. F. McDowell and sons are building on one of their lots on the Hoover uropert one of the largest livery and sale stobles in this section of the State. They will build a large brick building on th eir lot on Deo k, Street to be useu for stores and offi ces. No town is growing more rapidly than Asheboro. The town In.s Uken on new life. New families are moving here every week. I he 'many, advantages of the twn are attracting them. ASHEBORO LYCEUM COURSE. First Attraction Will ltat the Craded School Auditorium Tonight. The Asheboro Lyceum Assci" tion, which has arianged for the ap pearance of a numper of first class attractions at the Graded School Auditorunn this season, was fortun ate iu H-curing as the opening number, the famous Humorist and I npersun-tor, Ralph Bingham, who will be h-re tonight, Thursday, the 17th. In selecting a humorist as one of the attractions of the sesson. they have found in the person of Mr. Bingham an impersonator, humor ist mid musician of National uyu tat'on, and one who lias few upi'tls on the American stage. i L a record as an all around entertainer is unequalled and he is recognized as one of the most conspicuous tig tires on the American platform. Mr. Iiinuhani is anxious tli.U he shall not be billed us u lecturer, as he emphatically stales tnat. lie is not a lecturer, lie simply gives Ins audience a mitli-provoking but refined and clean enteitainir.ent of song, music and story. He makes hits; wins the hearts of his audience, and keeps it in an upioar from the first momeut of his appearance on the stage. It is needless to say that this- attraction will prove a good dtawing card for the following num. bers of the Lyceum course. Reserved seat tickets for this attraction can be secured t the Standaid Drug Store. Season tickets good for all attractions of the cours are being sold al atti active prices, and those who have not pur chased can uow secure them at the Drug Store. MR. MOFFITT HURT.
