incr of bosses, why is it that
Tammany, and machine poll
ticiaos like Gorman and Gaff
ey are fighting Judge Park
er? The answer to this ques
tion ia; if be were acceptable
to the political bosses he
would be an impossibility.
They do not want a man
who has positive convictions
and the courage to assert
them; who is loyal to them
and to truth, and who dares
to do the right when it is
given him to know it. Has
Judge Parker convictions?
Those who have read his de
risions - from the Supreme
Benrb say that be has. 1 was
in Bristol a short time ago,
- and happened np with one of
my old school mates, Col . Dan

any Federal Court including
the highest. Parker is the
niliAMUtnfA in tha tint Sin np
biefindgs on that bench and
has twen for years. The facts
are that a nolitical creed at
cood as that of Jefferson
can be made from bis opin
ions, because they are in hai
jTiuony with the Jeffersonian
niacbinft noli ticiaos know
this and. knowing that
- roan of his positive character
cannot be used as a tool,
they are determined to de
feat him for nomination if
nossfble. and if not throw
. him down in November. Po
litical bosses are all alike. I
Quay had lived in New York
vhe would have been a mem
ber of Tammany. He said so
and bis is the last word on
that subject; If Gorman had
come up in a Republican
State be would now be a pro
' tection Republican instead o
a protection Democrat. The
political boss of a minority
wants a president ' chosen
who will do bis bidding
Roosevelt basevidently made
some such bargain with the
-bosses ot his party, else they
Dmitri ho fiffhhno1 him am
thev fought Harrison in
1892. The Democratic po
litfoal bosses are as like
those of the party in favor
- as two peas in a pod. They
are not patriots, and they
, have no use for party when
party ran no longer be of use
to them. The Democracy
should profit by the known
factl fn its history. It should
rebuke the efforts of the boss
es to saddle a machine poli
tician on the country. Judge
Parker, whose scalp they are
After, has the strongest ere
dentials of any man on this
continent. His own state has
presented him to the party
at Jarge as a candidate m ev
est constituencies inhe XTnr
ion have placed the. seal of
their approval on him. ' Sil
ver leaders and gold lenders
men of every clement of the
party have endorsed bim.
The bosses, and Theodore
Roosevelt's annex are njl op
posed to Parker. Need more
be said.

The Summer terra of the
A. T. S. opened June the 7th.
The da.v was dark? and
gloomy with occasional show
ers. However there was a
large crowd , present. Each
one seemed to be lull oi en
Ihusiasm and were anxious
to brain work. After devo
tional exercises, by Prof. Y.
D. Moore, a number of eug
gestions were given by mem
bers of the faculty. A large
and convenient programme
ryas then arranged including
all-the branches tanghf in
the . pnblir. schools, besides
preparatory work for college.
Then followed the rgistra-
ion which occupied the rest
of the after noon. On lours
day evening the Literary so
rtetics met and organized for
business. A great deal of en
thusiasm was shown and
both the W. L. S, and A. L
S. recoived quite a number cf
new and prpmising members.
The counties of Watauga
Alleghany, Ashe, Caldwell,
and Wilkes are largely repre
sented; Burke, Iredell, Lin
coin, Rowan and Surry are
also represented but not . bo
largely.
The school is now being fa
vored with a series of lec
tures by Miss Emily Coe of
Aehville. Herlectnres are aim
pie yet they are instructive
and will doubtless be of much
benefit to the teachers. At
this time 1 24, m6stly teach-

ers, answer. to run can ann
new ones coming-in almost
da'ily, .
All a e e m to be enjoying
themselues and 1 think the
best work that has ever
been done here isnow be
ing done.

Judge George H. Brown,
who is an expert telegraph
operator was manipulating
the keys at Washington this
State for the benefit of an
amature operator, when the
message came - announcing
bis nomination for Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court
and received the message him
self. This was a rather singu
lar coincidence,! but it may
be that the Judge had a kind
of hankering after the tele
graph office about that time

convention. The nominating
speeches made in behalf of

reading; the great effort of
Senator Simmons will long
be remembered by those who
heard or had the pleasure of
reading it; bnt the climnx of

have bad some hand-to-hand

when we stop to consider
them from a comparative

been on Liaotungi Peninsula
