Wednesday, April 10,1912.
Have you paid your poll tax?
Only a few days more in which
to pay. They must be paid on
or before May 1st. See that
your receipt reads for the year
1911. .
Stop squibbling over who shall»
be the candidate for President,
and pay your poll tax so that you
can vote. After you have done
this you can express your pref
erence with some force.
As we go to press the Roose
velt stock is on the rise, owing
to his clean sweep in Illinois.
The next few days will in all
probability decide his fate it is
unfortunate for the republicans
to have two great men pitted a-
gaiiist each other.
Not A Pofctician
't, .
He who sayeth he isnfl a poli
tician but is fjfeiying the ga^ of
politics must be a hypocrite,, a
faiker or a failure. There a
certain class of citiaenship w?Hh
whom every person comes in cow
tact from day today whosayeth.
I am not a politician nor the son
of a politician and do not like to
read or endorse the paper or per
iodical whose columns are filled
with gplitieal news. This same
efer^iit :^f citizenship however
good it may claim to be, drinks
constantly from the fountain of
Democracy, absorbing every mor
sel democratic trickery and thiev
ish ideas from the drawing of the,
first plan for the nomination to
the stuffing and couutingldf the
ballots, and then if victorious
joins the band wagon iii shouting
tlieglad tidings of great joy over
the spoil. But on the contrary,
if the enemy the Republican par
ty, paints a vivid picture of the.
handwriting on the wall, and j
this class of citizenship be hit j
they come forth with enraged
anger and declare in the most
startling tones I am no politician
and do not like the game. The
old saying it is the hit dog that
hollows is only to, true. True
bravery stands thru the thickest
of the fight. Patriotism en thrills
into the courcing veins a renew
ed and stronger t etermination.
But the coward fleeth when no
man pursueth and only the hand
writing of this trickery is seer, on
the wall.

DROPS DEAD
From the columns of the press
it would appear as if Clark is
gaining“iground and is Wilson^s
worst enemy. With Bryan as. a
mill stone hanging fast to Har
mon’s neck it is a difficult prob
lem for him to hold his own in
the tussel.
‘ ‘I have determined if such a
thing is possible to open the
doors of the schools to every
child.” These were the last
words of Chas, B. Aycock. With
this sentence aman who has done
a noble work and been an educa
tional factor passed into the
great beyond.
We are informed that some
one has been writing obscene
language and other vulgar ex
pressions upon the sidewalks of
the city, and that the guilty par
ties are being watched, and if
caught red handed in the act,
will be severely dealt with. This
is a serious offense, and parents
would do well to caution their
boys in regard to it before it’s
too late.
First Public Speech In A Year
Raleigh, April 4.—Charles
Brantley Aycock, ex-governor of
North Carolina, who dropped
dead in Birmingham, Ala., to
night left Raleigh night before
last to deliver an educational ad
dress-at Birmingham, the only
speech he had made outside a
courthouse this year.
He had been in poor health fjr
some months and only a week a-
go returned to Raleigh from Phil
adelphia, where he spent a month
in a sanitarium fortifying him
self for the strenuous canvass of
the state which he was to begjn
next Friday, April 12, with an
opening speech in Raleiigh. to
be followed by one in Charlotte,
for the nomination by state pii-
mary for United States senator
tosucceed;F.. M. Simmons.
The other two opponents of
Senator Simmons, Governor Kit-
chin and Chief Justice Walter
Clark, began their campaign a
month ago, but Governor Aycock
had delayed his campaign for sev
eral weeks—meantime making
an effort to build up his health.
Those who knew him best know
he has beenaffiicted with a malady
that might prove fatal, but no
such immediate result was antici
pated.
The dece^d was born Nov
ember 1, 1859, was district attor-
Early, la^t uighfi ex-Npovernor
R. B. Grlean was in Greensboro,
^evious t€^ the flasb from dBir-
mingham announcing' Governor
Aycoc'k death this story had been
w^ten.
Ejr-Governor R. B. fiplenu, who
made a short trip to Greensboro
last night to meet relatives said
that he is working on hw sp^h
to be delivered at the state I^m-
ocnttie cohventioHr and that he
will have it ready before he leaiv
es next month for his lecture en'
gagemeRt. It's goinir to be a
keynote sp^h” said! the e»-
Goveraor^i A’iand I- am going^ to
make an appeal in the- intejfest
of harmony.*’
‘You dwelt on that last word)
like you were about to say Har-
m9n, Govemo?, ” it was suggest-
edi '
"No, harmony—har mon y,
replied he.
“But I am for Harmon or Wil
son for Pf esuieht" he continued
“—V. j i . is an old schoolmate
of iiiKie. Whoever gets the nom
ination by the Democratic con
vention I’m for, and I expect to
take off my coat and fight for him»
to win,'.
He said that he had. received
many letters from over the state
lately which indicated that the
prospects for Aycock, whom he
is supporting tooth and toe nail
for senator are great. He said
Aycock is going to make a great
race, “and he will win."
In the brief minute that he
would allow himself to be. corner
ed he made no statement regard
ing his own plans two years hence
with reference to the senatorship
He talked Democracy however
with all his heart.

knowledge as to what Good Fri
day means, a Holy Day, and not
simply and only as a holiday.
All the Chancel furniture and
the Altar was vested in black,
sent at the early celebration of
Holy Communion, before the
thoughts of ordinary duties filled
the mind. The Church was
perfectly beautiful. The whole
