Watauga Democrat Ucbcrt C. Rivers, Editor and Propbietor. Thursday, July 9, 1903. Bauur Kk Letter. Mr. Epitob: Isn't it fanny the turn national politics has taken during the past fewrronths? The anarchists now in control of the repub lican party see that some thing is going to drop, and they are doing some tail wriggling. Teddy got back from his western jaunt to find the PostofHce Depart ment just about rotted down and threats being wade to investigate frauds in the Ju dicial, Interior and Agricul tural Departments. They see that a new deal is bound to come, so thev hare endorsed Teddy for re-election, not that they expect to elect him, but just to quiet matters for a little season, while they ut tempt to carry out a deep laid scheme. To introduce the idea, thej trotted out that old renegade, Grover Cleveland at the World's Fair at St. Louis some week ago. After he had made his talk such men as Mark Han na and Pierpcnt Morgan, the managers of the trusts generally, and all the rene gade Democrats who voted for McKinley, began to say he would make good Presi dential timber. Of course they knew he would never be nominated by the Democrats, but this is the way they had of feeling the public pulse, and finding out howfart'leye landism extended. They soon found that out and are now prepared to go a little fur ther. They feel that a repub lican cannot be elected Presl dent next year, so they want a democrat of the Cleveland stripe nominated. If they can succeed in bringing that a bout, ther know that the trusts will be all right, and that is all they care for. It the democrats will nominate a man that themoney power can buy, as they did Cleve land, that is all they want. It is tolerably plain that the anarchist leaders ol the republican partv are deter- mined tp get rid nf Roose velt, and they would be pleas ed to support some renegade democrat, so as to make some show of a change, and afford them the opportunity of continuing to rob the peo pie. Even down to the petty officers of the government, such as revenue agents and country postmasters, know this is the scheme, and some of them are foolish enough to talk about it. Ever since the republicans stole the Presidency from Tilden, frauds on the people have been perpetrated more and more with each succeed ing jear, until the govern ment is perfeetly rotten in ev ery department. It is a par ty of trusts and combines. It raises the wage of t h p working man 10 per cent, and makes it cost him 40 per percent, more to live. To keep up this regime is what will worry thu brains of the leaders trom now on. They would rather go ahead nn der a renegade democrat, but will they be able to do it? We will see. 1 notice that some of your subscribers are delinqnent, so here is a little joke on that Vidp: f- An old man who was. sever -al years in arrears .u his county paper, was dying, and the editor, happening to pass, called in to see him. "How do you feel todaj, sir," asked the editor. "The end is here," said the sick nrnn, "but everything looks bright before me.' "I thought so," said tbeed itor, "you will see the blaze in about ten minutes." Phantom. Independence Day in Boone. Last Saturday, the 4tb of July, was red letter day with Boone and the school inter ests here' Eurly in the mor ning the people began to gat h er on the beautiful and spa cious grounds around the Academy, coming on foot, in vehicles of almost every de scription, until by 11, a, ra.. the whole campus was alive with people, numbering per haps a thousand or more. The exercises were held in the giove where a stand had been erected and beautifully decororated with flowersand and national colors and Old Glory flouted in the hieezes from the beautiful building. After some excellent music rendered by the Watauga String Band, Mr. J. VV. Cur tis, master of the ceremonies arose and addressed the au dience for a tew minutes, re calling the fact thac this was perhaps the greatest day in American hiHtory;a day when we as a people should feel thankful to Almighty God, and the noble founders of this great government, for ma king possible the blessings and privileges of this day He then recounted In a few brief sentences some of the achievements of ther pnBt, and stated that bur young men. students of the school, would debate the question. Resolved, That America has reached the zenith of her glo ry." To say that these young men did well is putting it very mild indeed. For over one hour they held the clos est attention of the great crowd, as they recounted our country's history, ner strug gles, and her achievements, and then peering into the tin known future they prophesy ed her greater and more glo rious fnture, or her ultimate and final overthrow, like the other nations ofthepast. We would like to mention each speaker but spa v forbids. Prof. Wiley H. Swift, of Watauga, but now of Greens boro, was called to th? plat form and in a twenty min ute's speech delighted the an dience greatly. His. speech was full of thought, showing deep research. He spoke a long the practical lines of ed ucation. Mr. Swift is one of whom Watauga may justly be proud. After an hours intermis sion for refreshments the peo pie gathered again to hear tthat was conceded by all to have been the most inter eating part of the day's program. Hon. R. Z. Linney, of Taylorsville, the speaker of the hour, was introduced in a few very appropriate words by Capt. E. F. Lor ill, of Boone. Mr. Linney began his speech SUPPORT SCOTTS EX'JLSION tmi at a bridge to carry ths weakened tad starved system along until it can Hod fim support in oidinary food. Srod lot Irca aisp!a.

ZSaSSBBSSSBmEBaBaEF by refcriiug to the great and noble Washington, "the fa ther of his country," assert ing that he believed him to bo the greatest man that ev er lived, save desus of Nazn- reth, and trom the spirit that actuated Washington's life which he denominated ns the spirit of 1776. Mr. Lin nej founded bis subject: "Learning, the hand-maid of loyalty and liberty." "A vote governs better than a crown." The speech was char acteristic of the man and the hour. To attempt togive it would be futile. No one who heard it could but feel tl'at in that great giant there was a great heart true and loyal. At the close of his speech Mr. Linney proposed to the committee that he would give $500.00 to the Appa lachian Training School buil ding, if they would put as an inscription over the doo r: "Learning the handmaid of loyalty and liberty." "A vote governs bettter than a crown." It is believed that the committee will accept the proposition, and why not? Several of our citizensspoke a few words for the school, and a good round sum was secured by subscription for the building fund. At 4, p. ra., a match game of ball between netween Wa tauga Academy and Globe wns hegnn, but from some cause the game was called, before the third inning had been completed, the score be ing Boone 17 Globe nothing. There is a difference of opin ion as to what caused this signal defeat for our neigh bor boys, and we hope the bright young men will visit us again when conditionsare more favorable. To The Teachers. (Continued from 3rd page.) could barely read, but seem ed anxious to do and to be something in the worln. So the busy teacher pointed to what lav witbid his reach, if he would make the effort and use the faculties with which God bad so abundant ly blessed him. Hecaught the idea, went to work and made astonishing progress during the few months she taught him. He studied hard a n d late at night over the com mon school studies for six months, and she left him fuN ly belie viug,1 hat he would be heard from again. Six years later that teach er received a letter from him stating that he was then in his third year in college and that all he was he owed to her efforts in his behalf when he found him in ignorance. He had the will and he found a way. That teacher could not do much for him in a six month'e teim, but she point- Peculiar To Itself In what It ia and what it docs con tainmg the best blood-purity ing, alterativoand tonic nubbtancea and effecting the moat radical and pet mancnt cures ot nil humors and fill eruptions, relieving weak, tired, languid feelings, and building tip the whole system is true only of Hood's Sarsaparllla No other medicine acts like it; do other medicine h&a done so mods real, BuUUntlal good, uo other medicine has restored health and strength at so little coat.
