THE DISPATCH, LEIETGTOJf, J. C. WEDKESDAT, JUT I, 1816. - i TEE STATE C0XVEXTI05. cSii-mons Warns of Butler and Banger ef Harm Being Dom to , Saffrage Amendment With Senator F. M. Simmons deliv ersag the keynote speech the Demo cratic State Convention hell a har monious and largely attended meeting in Raleigh last Thursday. The feature of Che occasion was a great speecn by Senator Simmons, in which he re viewed the great achievements of De mocracy in state and nation during the yast four years. No previous ad ministration in the history of the coun try, he declared, had so much con. stractive work to show for its stew ardship. , He declared that the present Congress would take care of the rural baakiag problem and would lake steps to place the American flag again in high place among the-maritime pow er of the world, even if the members had to stay In Washington until snow fliea. : The senior Senator sounded a warn ing to the Democracy of North Caro- 1UW Uf WS up WIU UUIUBi BO uiqic wna a daager confronting the state. Rath er two dangers, the Senator said, but both coming from the direction of Ma . riea Butler. Any tiick of fate that might put the Republicans in power 'would saddle upon the backs of whito North Carolina thousands of illiterate negro Republican votes, disfranchised through the amendment of 1900. He said he was sure that if Marion Butler should control the fortunes of the state, a return to the dark days was in store for the people. He also warn ed then that Butler was still the fath er of the bond fraud and that it he got chance North Carolina would have to feel the weight of an unjust debt. Senators Simmons, Overman, Gov eraor Craig and Gen. Julian S. Carr were elected delegates-at-large to the National Convention and Wade H. Har ris, f. Crawford Biggs, J. D. Murphy aad T. D. Warren chosen as alternates. The convention rose to its feet and cheered for a minute when Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte, moved that Editor Wade H. Harris be selected as alternate out of regard for his work for the party in exposing Marion But ler and his schemes toward the state. Tremendous applause greeted Hon. O. Max Gardner, North Carolina's next lie-tenant governor, who limped to tho platform and made a vigorous as sault upon Republicanism, as embod ied under the leadership of Marion Batler. The delegates from the Seventh Dls- trict met and selected as delegates to the National Convention, K. R. Hoyle, of Lee, J. W. Lambeth, of Davidson, J . A. Jones, of Scotland, D. M. Reese, of Yadkin and Mitch Benoy, of Wilkes, B. Clegg Ashcraft, of Anson, was nam ed presidential elector from the Sev enth. Cameron Morrison, of Char lotto, and J. O. Carr, of Wilmington, were made electors at large. . Shooting ef Paul Barges. The Mouny Airy Times-Leader has the following to say regarding the shooting of Paul Burgess, noted In last week's Dispatch:- The people of Mount Airy ' were greatly shocked last Saturday after noon when it became known that Paul Bnrgess had been shot and kill ed by Carl Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Jones, a boy about the 'same age of the Burgess boy though con siderably larger. The unfortunate boy and Carl Jones together with two smaller boys, How ard Jones and Zeb Roberts were in an old barn near the Jones home in rear of the McCargo block. Imme diately after the shooting the wound ed boy was placed in an automobile and rushed to the Memorial Hospital where he died -probably within 15 min utes after reaching the hospital. There are conflicting rumors as to how it occurred. The Jones boy de clares that it was purely accidental. The boys, it seems, were playing in the barn when the pistol was discharged, The circumstances connected with the case indicated that it wasv accidental, and taking this charitable view of the case, after having been placed under arrest, he was released on a 500 bond to appear before Justice of Peace, Al lan Sparger, Monday afternoon at 4 p. m. But on account of the absence of one or more material witnesses it was again postponed till tonight, (Wednesday night,) when an effort will be made to get at all the facts and determine whether or not any blame attaches to the Jones boy JUST A MINUTE, BROTHER FARMER VOTER OF THE SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OU ARB, of course, aware that the Primary Election Is coming on pretty soon, and we will be asked to support someone for Con gress to succeed Mr. Page. - Now, there are about 250,000 people In the Seventh District and only about 12,000 can be said to live in town; the others live in the country and small villages, and are essentially farmers like you and me. Get this fact clearly In mind and then listen carefully to what I am going to say. There are now four candidates for the nomination to Congress from the Seventh District; three of these are lawyers, and one is a combination business man, farmer, good roads ad vocate, newspaper editor and philan thropist a man in sympathetic touch with every class of citizenship of the Seventh District, and who knows to the minutest detail the needs of the average man in every county he seeks to represent I would have somewhat preferred a good farmer to represent the 238,000 of us farmers in the next Congress could one have been found to fill the bill, but, since no bona fide farmer seems to be available for a candidate, I have decided to support ment when he stopped the stage coach, got out and lifted three pigs out of a ditch and gave them to the mother, which was in distress over not being able to get them out by her own ef forts. On returning to the stage, some one asked him where the selfishness came in in that act, and he replied: "I could not have slept tonight had I passed by and left that sow distressed over those pigs." 1 I am convinced that this is the brand of selfishness that has prompted Mr. Varner to do many of his acts of pub- the. man in whom is combined the best ' After the death of Paul Burgess the qualities, not only of the farmer but body was taken to his home on Cher- of the business and professional man ry street and undertaker Earp was as well a man who oan equally rep called and he prepared the body for resent all of the different classes of burial. The remains were placed on our citizenship and the whole of our the early train Sunday morning and taken to Thomasville for interment. where be now rests beside an elder brother who was killed several years ago on the Southern railroad. Paul Burgess, the unfortunate boy, would have been 16 years old in Sep tember. He was popular with all who knew him, and he was known by near ly everybody in Mt Airy. His death has brought sadness to everybody in Mount Airy; the blow, the loss of their dear boy came with crushing and cruel force to the father and mother. The bereaved family have the sympathies of the entire town. To the father, and mother and sisters the Times-Leader extends unfeigned sym pathy. Randolph Veteran's Record. Captain G. V.

Simmons before the Democratic State Conven tion at Raleigh last week: I know these sentiments represent the hopes and the prayers of the sorely tried man in the White House. He hears, but he is unmoved by the clam or of those who want us to lend our selves to the cause of the one side or the other. He hears, but is unmoved by the clamor of those who want us to plunge into this maelstrom of war and carnage. "His great mlad and his patriotic heart are centered in one great pur pose namely, to know what his duty Is and to do it. "Let no man suspect him in what ever be may do in this behalf as act ing from any motive other than that industrial interests, many of which he has been instrumental in promoting. I am unfortunate in having but one vote in the coming Primary: had I two votes I might cast one for any one of the worthy members of tho bar who feel called upon to represent us farmers in tho National House of Representatives. I am convinced that we have no stronger lawyers nor any more worthy citizens in the Seventh District than the three gentlemen of the Legal Profession who are oppos ing Mr. varner in -the coming Primary. But, Brother Farmer, I am going to give you seven fundamental reasons why I prefer Mr. Varner to any one of these gentlemen. Here are my rea sons: First Mr. Varner has always been a loyal Democrat and worked bard and long, late and early, both in sea son and out of season for the suprem acy of the Democratic Party. Not on ly has he given his time to the party In a personal way, but be has given the columns of his valuable paper to the cause of democracy, and given them without money and with out price. These things the other gentlemen could not have done ' bad they so desired since they did not possess so Important mouthpiece as the LEXINGTON DIS PATCH; and It is not known that they would have supported the Democratic candidates without pay had they been in control of so Important an organ of publicity. Second Not only has Mr. Varner been' a fearless, hard-working, loyal Democrat, but in the midst of all his political activities ho has found time of dutv. and let no man believe that he will be swerved from the line of to serve his fellow men tho farmers duty as God gives him light to see It 'n particular in a more material sort and understand It "If you want a war lord' you will not' find one in him. If you want a molly-coddle pacifist, you will not find of way. For years I have known him to give both bis valuable time and bard-earned means to the advance ment of the best interest of the p Bo ons in him. He is not moved by the" Ple- -ot only of bis county but of the militancy of the one or the rhapsodies of the others. He is a plain, direct resolute' man with a clear vision. steary nerve and stout heart, 'living always in the fear of God, bent upon serving his country, humanity and civ ilization, regardles sof criticism and MM How Hon sot at Badla.' It la reported hero that tho Alumi num Company of America has lot tho contract for tho Immediate erection of 200 dwellings at Badln. These dwel lings are all said to bo of special de sign, fitted with all modern conven iences, and when finished, will make housing capacity for about 1300 peo ple. Tola, with tho bouse bow finish ed should make Badln a town of 4,000 to 1.000 people, to say nothing of tho colored and foreign labor already there. , OT TEE CCCTC2 HU KIDHETS HTST BE BIGHT TO EC 8CBE HEALTH. Few people realize to what extent tbelr health depends upon tho condi tion of tho kidneys. Tho physician in nearly all ce of serious lllneea, makes a chemical an alysls of tho patient's urine. II knows that unless tho kidneys ar doing their work properly, the other organs can not readily be brought back to httlib and troncth.

Thou sands of dollars and weeks of toil have been unselfishly spent in an effort to better rural conditions among his fellow countrymen and spent with out saying a word about It to anyone or taking, or desiring to take, any aggrandizement, personal, political, or c't whatever for having done so. otherwise. So far as clear vision, ma ture Judgment unfaltering loyalty and patriotism can protect us, we are safe in bis hands. "The President doe not want war. He will do everything that a great na tion and a Christian people ought to do to avoid it but ho want us to be pro pared if the necessity comes to pro tect our country and defend our right I am convinced that it la a part of his nature to act thus. On on occasion. Mr. Lincoln said All men act from selfish motives" but, be bad hardly made the state- HON. H. B. VARNER. lie benevolence. Perhaps our lawyer friends have done likewise, but so far have been unfortunate in not hav ing heard about it Third Mr. Varner not only dreams dreams, but 'has been able to awake to a realization of his dreams. would give a thousand times as much for a man -who goes on doing good things and Baying nothing, as for the man who goes on saying good things and doing nothing. It is the man who convinces me that he will do good things in the future by having done good things in the past that I favor. Our present advancement along all lines is due primarily and solely to the activities of dreamers. You and I dreamed of a model farm home for a number of years before we secured it Fulton dreamed of the steamboat years before be sailed it on the Hud son, and Stephenson likely experienc ed nightmares over the steam-engine long before it thundered along the track. We need dreamers, we want dreamers, and we must have dream ers! only let us be sure not to send dreamers to Congress whoso visions will be prompted by the desire to se cure castles for themselves at the ex pense of us farmers who elect them, Bear in mind that if any Congressman goes from the Seventh District to Washington this year tho farmer of this District wll send him, since we constitute more than ten to one our population. To be more specific, I do not think that anyone would question Mr. Var- ner's having devoted more time and given more money in the interest of better schools, better rural health conditions, better live stock, better roads and better fanning than any other private citizen In the State. Mr. Farm Demonstrator, I know you are not supposed to have anything to do with politics except to cast your own vote, but if you can select any one of the other candidate, or any other man in tho State for that matter, who took $500.00 of his own hard-earned money and gave it to one of your brethren to secure the continuance of the Demonstration work in his coun ty where the board of County Commis sioners refused to appropriate it I wiBh you would trot him out and let us have his picture. This was done to my certain knowledge by Mr. Var ner for Davidson county some years ago. ' Fourth Since I am convinced that he knows the needs and desires of the Farmers of the Seventh District as no other man who has so far announced himself does, I am persuaded that he win lend his influence and energy to the passage of such measures in Con gress as will meet our needs and pro mote our welfare, and at the same time not neglect the needs of other important interests in the District Perhaps any one of the lawyer candi dates would do this if they only knew the conditions of the rural districts as Mr. Varner knows them. But. do they? Fifth Better roads is a prime ne cessity in this country, and in our dis trict in particular. Sooner or later, we are going to have good roads if we bare to build them ourselves and pay every dollar of the expense, but feel that this should not need to be done. During the past ten years the Federal Government has spent at the rate of $2,000,000.00 a year for good roads in Cuba, Porto Rico, Panama, the Philippine Islands, the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska and how much in the United States? One-half sMuilllon, and that for only experimental road- building. Why should we be taxed to build roads in Cuba and not be allow. ed to use Borne of our Federal Tax Money to construct roads by our doors? This condition has come about through our sending to Con gress men who were not interested in internal improvements. It is unthink able that Mr. Varner would not suc ceed in getting Federal Aid in the V PKIP1ES BOILS CARBUNCLES ACHES cxnixs PAINS 1 t Are "Danger Signal" the human system's method of giving wam- ing that the blood has become impoverished and circulation poor.
