The Association-Some Retrospection. Oh August 30, 1904, 1 left home and started to the Three Fork Associat ion which convened with Elk Valley ehurch on Banner Elk. On the way there .it came into my mind how many and who would I see and meet of the' ministers and messengers who were the representatives of the three Fork Association in 1851-'65. When I got to the church the Association had ast adjourned. There was a good congregation of well behaved people, but in a very short time it looked like all of the good people of Elk valley were theie with plenty of something good to eat. and if all did not get a suffi ciency it was their own lault. I took dinner with Mr. John Blair. After dinner we began passing among , the people and talking to them, a I wan personally acquainted with nearly all of them. But on my round through the con gregation we met but one who was at the session of the Association in,118G4-'65, and that was Rev. John Crisp. When the thought passed through my mind they are all gone but three; all the ministers are gone but Rev. D. C. Harman, and I knew that he was at home in very feeble health. The four Far things, Joseph Harrison, Lar kin Hodges, Job Moore, with many others, have all passed over. the river to await .the sound of the trumpet that shali awake the nations of the earth. With these facts and sur rounding ones, wecouldhard ly realize that we were at the old Three Forks Association, But in mind I said this is the same but managed and con trolled by a new generation, with new customs and many new ideas. At the hour appointed tbe Association reassembled in tbe house, and. after singing ami pruyer, organized by electing their officers. Rev. John Crisp was sent to the stand to preach to the peo pie. During my mingling witb the people I met four of my old war comrades who were in Co. Jj, 58th North Carolina Regiment. That brought to mind that forty two years ago last July, I, with four I met here, and a bout one hundred othprs of my nar relatives, neighbors and neighbor's boys, passed down Elk valley on our way to t he Civil War." Then the thought occurred to me where now are tbo-je boys who wore the gray? More than 80 of them have answered the last roll-call; some of them came home and died, others died on the battle fields - in other states, oiue in prison, some A BOY'S WILD RIDE FQR UF. With fam'ly around expecting htro to die, and a Ron riding for life, 18 miles to get Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and coldfl, W. H. Drown, -of. Lets ville Ind.,endured death's dgonies trom asthma; but, this wonderful medicine ave jii&tant relief . and soon cured him. He writes: 1 I now sleap souudly every night," Like marvelous cures bl consumption, pneumonia, bronchitis, coughs colds and grip prove it 'matchless "merit for all throat aud luug trouble. Guaranteed bottWs 50c and $lo. Trial bottles free at M. K . H'.ack. hum's in hospital, and I doubt not that many pf their boms nre bleaching on the battle fields in the different states today. O what a change up and down Elk ralley in 42 years42 years ago there was only 4 little improvements to the top of the monntairiat the bead of Shannehaw creek to Co. line, the Rowers patch, the plara where James Blair lives, then Eggars place, where George Dugger lived, now where the neat little vil Inge of Banner Elk is, and the big bottoms of Elk, where James W. Whitehead and others live. All the rest of the way whs a perfect wil' derness in many places, one could not see a man 10 steps from the road, and now at every crook and turn there are nice houses with neat homes andwell to do people Hying, many of them with large farms on which are fine meadows with many, hay stacks standing on them and a fine Turn Pike road there. There is but one house stand ing 'on the road that we have any reccollection of from the top of the valley mountain to the Co. line and that is the old log barn of James Blair, (at tbe Eggers place) in this barn loft Is where the boys of Co. D. 58 Regt. spent their first night of camp life. On Tuesday night we, witb John Masty Andy Greer, and their good ladies of Silvern stone. Wm.Elrod of Blowing Rock and L. fl. Trivett witb several others stayed all night at Ben Ellers, where we fared like earthly kings nnd priests.' If you do not believe that friend Ben Elter and his good lad will tre8t yon white stop and see them. . Wednesday morning w e came back to the association where it locked like the peo ple from all oyer the county were coming.

Wby Uiein i-w...; ,.t. . . - ICaseOf Hace l"Judice. News and Ob.erver. Here is an item from theln dependent, a newspaper pub lished at Waynesburg, Pa., nnd as this comes from one of the upper tier of States that has always time to talk about the hot heada of the South it is rppnnted so that tbe other side of the question may be viewed for a while. The local reads: "Leslie Howard, a corporal in Company D of theNation al Guard in camp at Hun tington, came near having his neck stretched by his com rades in arms last niaht. While a party of soldiers with ladies were in an ice cream saloon, in steps Corpo ral Howard accompanied by two coal black negro wenches who sat down to a table and ordered refreshment. The sol diers present arose as one man and hustled the party out of the room. While they were forcing . Howard to a tree with ft rope ready for lynching, officers interfered and presented a tragedy. V Howard was put ia the guard house and will bo court martialed and dismissed from service." Now, here is a race preju dice in Pa. and not because of anything but the color of the skin, that thing which is harped upon when the South is held up as a "terrible ex. ample'' by a certain class of Northern papers, dimply be cause the Southerner has the pride of birth and does not believe in social mingling of the white man and the ne gro. H e r e is the Republican State of Pennsylvania with something like .300,000 Re publican majority, and here are those white men in Pefin svlvania acting just like a lot of Southern men under similar circumstances, bar ring; the lynching in'which the Pennsylvanian went just a little "beyant" the South erner. It is now for Corporal How nrd to call upon President Roosevelt to keep the bars a way from the "op?n door of hope" a larubast these Penn sylvania soldiers who strenu nusly ended the little social equality jterformance of the corporal, and were close to doing the lynching act in the beat of . their indigna tion. Here is a chance for Rooso velt to clinch some more ne gro votes in tbe doubtful States. Just think how it would help him if he would summarily hold a court mar tial and "jack op" th38e young Pennsylvania Nation al Guardsmen. Surely as tbe Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the United States he is not in a mood to permit white soldiers to fclam shut tbe door on a negro officer, that self-same door of'social equality having been opened by the Commander-in-Chief by the Booker T. route? The negro waits for silence at Sagamore Hill to break. . OABTOXIIA. To make a drii'n ti-k Set t'oti 1 1st lijjaji tar barrel. , Fairbanks Not Hoperul. Ilshevi'le Citizen, Senator Charles Fairbanks of Indiana, Republican nom inee for the vice presidency, is evidently troubled with n ' nameless fear" that the Re publican party will not be succeseul this fall. For this reason.it may be assumed, he will not resign his seat in the Sennteat the present time believing that un bird in the hand is worth two in t h e bush." Mr. Fairbanks, whose mon umeutul frigidity has become a national joke, has nlways been an ustute politician. H has tasted of the rougher side of life, and if he should feel that once having attain ed the easy track on 1 i f o's highway he should take no chances of losing it, he is, af ter all, only evincing a failing which iscommon to humani ty-looking afternumberone. The particular point to which we would draw attention is the Senator's evident lack of confidence in the success of his ticket, It is no dearth of "timber" which has been re sponsible for Mr. Fairbnnk's resolve to take no action in regard to suriendering bis, of flee till after the election. As it is generally known there is an unseemly scramble for the Republican Senatorial plum in Indiana. Mr Fairbanks "bosom friends" did not wait for the "corpse to get cold." before casting envious eyes on the boots which fora time gave promise of being vaca ted. But the Senator is still there, and will remain at his post until his term has ex pired, for the reason that the coming election wjll result in the passing of Republican ism. Admitting that "compari sons are odious" we cannot refrain from contrasting the action of Ju4ge Parker to that of Senator Fairbanks. The New York judge surren derei a high and lurrative le gal office to enter the presi dential race, It may be ar gued that doubtless Mr. Par ker was more sure of h i s ground than the Hoosier leg ifelator. That muy be bo, but still the principle of sacrifi cing self to a Benseof duty to others is there. THE PLEASURE OF fcATINO.
