BREAD

BEEF-STEAK
Did you know that 10 cents worth of good, nutritious
flour, such as the three Dan Valley brands, contains mors
calories than 90 cents worth of beefsteak? Good houae
kaeper* are learnin f that Bread is their greatest weapon
in tne fig.it against the increase in the cost of living.
Put snore bread on your table. It is the healthiest, moat
wholesome and one of the most economical of foods. Bread
and biscuits made with Dan Valley, White Satin and Den
River Self-Kising flours are irresistible: so good that the
family will gladly substitute them for some of the more
expensive and less nutritious dishes. More bread and leas
meat means better health ami less expense.
These famous old Dan Valley brands have beea the
standard in thousands of homes for the last K years.
Now obtainable in pre-wa." quality.

Young Morrison'* fathar waa dur
ing this period, a republican. Ha had |

during tha days of Vance ha was a
democrat, and helped to ridum tba
state: but, like a graat many good
man have dona, ha fall out with tha
democratic party o*ar soma local But
ter, and became a republican. Thus, aa
ha waa under re publican environment.
In 1M0, and before ha waa 21 year, of
age, ha Joined his father In a local po
litical fight and want to Raleigh aa a
delegate to a republican state conven
tion. Ha returned home and shortly
thereafter informed his father that he
could not be a republican; that if the
republican party aver got in power in
North Carolina, they would ruin the
state. The elder Morrison was at that
time poetmaatar of Rock iny ham. and

lie was at the same time studying law
and was about ready to go to a law
school. He bad hoped that his father
would help him, but Cam'a change of
CJitica, of which ha had notified his
ther, caused a temporary, but bitter
breach between them. Upon his father
declining to do anything for him, he
left the poatofflce and secured a posi
tion aa teacher in a public xchool and
made sufficient money to attend the
law school of Judge Dick in Greens
boro. He studied law under Judge Dick
for twelve n ontha. A few months af
ter Cam was 21 years trl aga, he pub
licly announced that he was a demo
crat. 1 his was before ha obtained his
liens* to practice law.
Young Morrison was licensed to
practice law in February, 1892, and
immediately opened an •cfice In Rock
ingham. His knowledge of the law. com
bined with unusual abilities as an ad
vocate. quickly obtained for him high*
rank at the bar. These qualities were
supplemented by literary attainments
that were a uprise to those who did
not know him intimately. The** were
the result of a wide reading that had
been carried on privately by young
Morriaon through the years of strug

The bar at that time in Richmond

Morriaon was not only a powerful
advocate and a trial lawyer without
superior hi his county, but his general
abi'ity was such that his services were
sought by the larger busineaa inter
ests of hie county, by many of which
h* wai retained as general eounaal.
Morrison's natural love for the pub
lic servtae manifested Itself early. Ia
the spring of 1W2. In the democratic
convention, he made hie first demo
cratic spooch. This speech was made
under dramatic circumstances. The
whole county knew the struggle Cam
was having on account of hie father**

widespread throughout tha entire east
em part of tha state. Morrison com
menced to organise tha white people
with tha utmoat care. Ha waa made
chairman of the democratic evocative
committee of Richmond county in IStW
and proceeded early to organise each
precinct in the county, which then in
cluded the preeent county of .Scotlarul
and waa seventy mile* long. Mr. Mor
rison mercilessly denounced tha wrongs
and malfeasances of the county offi
cials. In the midst of the violence and
danger of the timee Morrison lived in
constant danger of deadly encounters
with the desperate negro leaders of
that day. Finally, in defense, no*, for
aggression, as is generally suppoeed,
the white men donned their red shirts.
Morrison had been made supremely
happy by the fact that hie father bad
quit the republican party and Joined
him. From that day the elder Morri
son become a power in the fight for
democracy and white supremacy. la
this campaign young Morrison'*
were powerful hi their da-1
nunciatioa of the republican misrule, j
vat to convincing and appealing that
hundreds of republicans joined the

probably the "
Shirt parade that ever took place ml
the state. Tile parade waa hsiwisd by |
the elder Momson and another Con
federate soldier bearing a banner with
the inscription. The Whitee WUI Kale

realized that they were in a death
grapple, and every known mean* of
intimidation waa employed. .Coventor
Raaaall had issued a proclamation de
nouncing the Bed Shirts of Riehmoi
and Halifax counties, ordering tha
to subside, and threatening those two]
counties with martial law. This waa
followed by a great meeting at Rock
ingham at which young Morrison de
nounced and defied Ruaaell, and hie
threats. At the meeting at Rocking
ham on Saturday before the election,
"Mr. Morrison and Senator Tillman if
South Carolina made speeches that
stirred the people as they had never
been stirred befcre. The county waa
carried by a majority of over a thous
and.

the Raleiirh N-ws and Observer de
clared that "The spirit early mani
fested in Richmond county that the
'whites would nil* the land or die'
spread to adjoining counties, finally
permeated the whole east, carried
thirty counties, and the state for de
mocracy."
Cameron Mnrrisov aroused that
spirit in Richmond count* ami wa» the
unquestioned leader of the movement.
At the tame time he waa leading
the turbulent firht in Richmond coun
ty, he went from time to time to oth
er counties in.the state and spoke for
white supremacy and democracy.
The state wa« safe. After the elec
tion a banquet was given at Laurin
burg in honor of Senator Simmonssnd
Mr. Morrison, respectively state and
count* chairmen. At this banquet Sen
ator Simmons said that "the first real
hope In the campaign in the state had
been inspired In him by the spirit at
Richmond county under the splendid
leadership of Cameron Morrison, and
that when the history of the move
ment for white supremacy came to ha
written no man would be given great
er credit for the victory than Cameron
Morrison. La» i* on. the people at
Rockingham ga»# Mr. Morrison a ban

When the democratic countr offic
