d )-ei)orter of the Greensboro

ed what about the interubaii line
in North Carolina, and his reply
'.vas as follows:
“if the conditions are favor
able and the pro]3er encourage

route by the public, the line will
oe extended from Greenville via

‘The road is to be built of 85-
pound steel rails# will be rock
ballasted with 1 per cent, maxi
mum grades, and over the road
will run high speed electric cars,
capable of making: 65 miles per
nour. Heavy duty locomotives
will be put on and solid train
loads of freight will be carried
over the line."
Mr. Taylor said the company
would ask the manufacturers
^iong the proposed route to sub
scribe one-fourth of the stock, the
company to subscribe the other
three-fourths. ’ ’
What we need is a live cham-
of commerce to get them to
ttke over the line already under
construction in this city, and to
^>:tend the same on to Durham,
^uch an enterprise would mean

THE BEPliBLICAN CAll-
DATES AND WHO TflEV ARE
Prof. Junius A. Hornaday, can
didate for the House of Repre
sentatives, is an educator af abil
ity, and a inan of sound business
judgement, born and reared in
Alamance county, attended the'
public schools of the county, and
a graduate of the State Universi
ty at Chapel Hill, He was sever
al times elected mayor of Liber
ty, a thrifty town in an adjoining
county. He taught a most suc
cessful school at Friendship this
county last year, and first half of
this. He is a high toned Chris
tian gentleman and will make a
good representative. Those of
his heighbors who know him best
will rally loyally to his standard.
William E. Vincent, the candi
date for Sheriif, is a sturdy type
of manhood, a splendid fanner,
and a man who has been success
ful with his own business. This
fact will be a guarantee that he
will be more so as guardian of the
peace, and custodian of the peo
ple's money. He has served two
terms as county commissioner
during which time Me made good
and v/on many friends, a feat
rarely ever accomplished by any
one holding the position of c^n-
ty commissioner. Mr Vincent is
well liked by his neighbors and
is held in high esteem by them.
This will be a tower of strength
in the comJng campaign and will
make him many votes.
S. Fred. Faucette, the candi
date for Clerk of the Superior
Court, holds the important posi
tion of shipping clerk in the Al-
t^n.ahaw co‘:ton mill. He is a
farmers son and was raised as a
farmer boy. He is well qualified
for the position to which he as
pires, is popular with all v/ho
know him, and is calculated to
make many friends during the
coining campaign. He is a rela
tive of nearly everybody in Mor
tons township and should receive
a large vote outside of his party.
If these calculations are correct
lie should be elected hands dov/n.
Thomas C, Montgomery, the
candidate for Register of Deeds,
is a son of the late Dr. D. A.
Montgomery, and is a good busi
ness man, having been employed
as agent for the Southern Rail
way Co., at Graham for a num
ber of years, but now Express
agent in the same town, also con*
nected with several other buil^
ness enterprises, Mr. Montgom
ery ran for Clerk of the Superior
Court four years ago, and al
though admittedly elected by all
who were familiar with the cir
cumstances, but owing to an un
fair Democratip election law, was
deprived of the office. He is a
strong man and will make a good
run, as his opponent will learn
when probably it is too late.
J. Mac. Garrison, the candidate
for Treasurer, is a well-to-do far
mer, and a man of steiiing qual
ities. He is well known through
out the county, having been a
candidate for this position once
before. He has many personal
as well as political friends who
speak of him in the highest terms
and will not be afraid to risk the
county’s money in his hands,
knowing full well whatever
amount is entrusted to him will
always be ready for the county
vouchers. If Mr. Garrison does
not prove a vote getter and a win
ner, we will have another guess
coming. Farmers rally to your
farmer friend and neighbor. You
are coming into your own under
this Republican prosperity elect
Mac Garrison and come into your
own as regards part of the coun
ty offices.
We will give a brief out-lme oi
the candidates for county com
missioners in our next issue, di
gest this and be ready to hear
about the best set of men ever
nominated for commissioners.
■■
Democratic Speaking.
Major Chas. M. Stedman, the
Democratic candidate for Con
gress in this district made a
speech last Monday night m the
Grotto building to a small, but
appreciative audience. His speech
was badly connected, and in the
main was a repetition ot the old
Democratic speech of happemngs
just after th« war. If the Dem-
ocrats was pleased with such an
effort, we have no right to com-
j plain.
HM[ THE Cin RE-
Is the City of Bnrlington to be
Treated to Another Raleigh
Affair.
In the city of Raleigh a few
years ago the records of the po
lice court were changed and mu
tilated, But in this city of Love
and fjowers, the records of the
board of Aldermen are said to
have been changed in regard to
the sale of the sixty thousand
dollars worth of thirty year five
per cent street and side- walk
improvement bonds. The city
fathers have met and promptly
repudiated the record and order
ed it expunged from the le^ords
as will be seen from the follow
ing minutes.

After which the convention ad
journed and the speakers were
sent for and introduced, Hon. D.
H. Blair spoke first and:^ m^^
telling speech for Republicanisni
his speech was clear, forceful and
interesting. He compared pres
ent prices with those of 1896 and
showed conclusively that the
country was in much better con
dition now thaii then,- and
that the purchasing power of the
farmers crops are about twice as
great now as then. His ^speech
was Well received and highly
complimented upon all sides as
being the ablestexpositioh of Re
publican doctrine that it has been
our good fortune to hear in a long
time. After Mr. Blair concluded
Hon. Thomas^Settle delighted the
audience for an hour with one of
the most brilliant airaignm^t of i
Democratic incompetency and in-'
sincerity that was ever listened
to in this neck of the ivoods. He
made the Democrat?/so ashamed
of themselves that the most of
them left the Court Hfiuse, but
the Republicans hung bn as if
hungered and thirsting for more.
The convention was well attend
ed, the court room being- at least
four-fifths full, had it not been
for the circus comjng the same
week the Court House would have
within ten days as evidence of
gOod faith in this proposition.

and Present Management of
Connty Party Affairs Severely
Arranged,
Lumberton, Sept. 15. — Pursu-
ant to a call by many of the most
prominent democrats in Rpbesois
county, a large delegation assem
bled in the coiirt house here to
day in a mass meeting which had
as its object tl^he uplifting of pol
itics and raising a higher stand
ard of civic righteousness.
Mr. J. S. Oliver, of Marietta:
was made ch^rman of the meet
ing which; was opiened with a
prayer by Rev. C. H. Durham.
Mr. R. D. Ckldwell in stating
the object of the  ineetihg said ,
that it was a voluntary gather*
ing of the citizens, and the call
did not come from the county ex»
ecuti ye committee and its pur
pose was to overthrow the pres
ent management of the dem
ocratic party in Robeson county
and restore harmony to the
party. ' ^
A committee was appointed tio
draw up an order of exercises
and while this c6mhiittee was
absent from the room severati
men in the audience were called
upon to make short talks. Prom
inent among these were three
ministers of the county wh» de
clared in one accord that the time
had come when the righteouf
citizen of the county should rise
up and put an end to the corrupt
ing influences in certain branches
of Robeson’s politics.
The committee on the order oi
business reported several recom
mendations some of which were:
That the mass meeting endorse
two men for the legislature and
five county commissioners. That
Mr. Geo. B. McCleod be asked to
resign from the championship of
the democratic executive com
mittee .and that y Sheriff E.; C.
McNeill be endorsed for sherilt
All these recommendations, were
accepted by the meeting." Dr,
B. F, McMillan, of Red Springs
and J. 0. McArthur, of Thomp
sons township were endorsed for
the house. The men endorsed
for county commissioners were.;
A. J. Floyd, of Whitehouse town
ship, D. Z. Mc(xOOgan, of Lum
ber Bridge, J. A. MePaul, of
Blue Springs, J. A. McCormick,
of Pembroke and W. H. McCel-
land, of Thompsons,
A very hot fight is being wag
ed for the office of sheriff, ex-
Sheriff Geo, B. McLeod contest
ing with Shenff E. C. McNeill
for that office, honors appearing
at this time to be about even be
tween them. The rhass meeting
demanded the resignation of Me,
McLeod from the chairmanship
of county executive committee
because he is a candidate for the
office of Sheriff, but’at this time
he has not resided and there
seems little likelihood of his do
ing so. The fight in RobesoB
seems to be taking on the form
of a ring and an anti-ring en
counter.
Whatever the outcome of the
convention work, it is the plain
duty of every local Republican to
support the party candidates and
platform. The broad principle
of stauuch Republicanism stands fore the requisition is honored-
far and above every other issue, ’which request will be granted.
Mr. John Mac Walker one of
Alamance County's boys who haj
made good returned last week
from Washingrtoin City where he
spent the summer as a ministerai
