IVatauga Democrat
Thursday. May 25, 1905.
ft. C. Bltori, Editor nl Proprietor
Banner Elk Letter.
Mr.EDioR:u"hatdid I tell
you about the infernal blend
ing of issues in uiy last let
ter? What do you think of
tbatspeechof Roosevelt be
fore the Itoqois Club in Chi
cago? That Clob felt called
upon to put itself forward to
entertain His Majesty, when
there were other clubs Be
publican clubs who stood
back. Look at the damnable
sophistry embodied in h i s
address. Listen to the ap
plause of socalled democrats.
When Teddy ca me home Irom
his bear bunt he found "the
lid" about to flop up to the
winds The Interior Depart
ment had ordered a bold up
in bond investigations in Or
egon. Senator Mitchell, of
that State, was about to be
put in jail. President Castro,
of Venezuela, had been scoff
ing at Teddy. Thentherewas
the Railroad Commission.
Just look at that 1 Paul Mas
ten, a member of thecabinet,
an outlaw. And tnen comes
in Secietary Shaw of the
Treasury nearly $40,000,
000 behind the expenditures.
Stand-patters say tax the
people. Liberal Republicans
and Democrats say knock
the protective tariff to pieces.
will give us 1 1.000 for the
building fund. There are pro
visions also that the Acade
uiy, grounds ana nxiures,
may be counted as a sub
scription, ft seemsthat there
could be no objection to this,
from the fact that the prop
erty would be used just as it
has been in the past.
This property would be val
ued at about f 3,000 that
is, when we raise by private
subscription $l,00O, we can
draw 4,000 from the State,
and we will have $5,000 to
spend in completing our
handsome new building, and
i j t-
to erecisuuaDie ana mum
needed dormitories.
Now, friends, from a per
sonul and financial stand
point, this school has been a
heavy load on me. There are
very few of you who realize
how much expense, bard
work and neivous anxiety it
tukes to agitate this enter
prse. The school is not a
town or a local enterprise.
It's effect and influence is felt
in every community and in
almost every home in Wa
tauga, and in many commu
nities und homes in other
counties,
We now appeal again to
our friends to aid and en
courage us in this-last charge
-the last hea7y battle.
Is there any man or wo
man in the good old county
of Watauaa that would not
rejoice to see planted nere a
permanent institution whose
charter is written in and
have not these requirements.
If doubtful as to the require
ment it is their duty to sum
mon witnesses, etc. There
must be a full jury list, but it
should be composed of . men
of character and intelligence.
All Humors
Axe impure matter which the ikln,
liver, kidneys and other organs can
not take care of without help, there ia
inch an accumulation of them.
They litter the whole ayateta.
Pimples, boila, eczema and other
eruptions, loss of appetite, that tired
feeling, bilious turns, fits of indiges
tion, dull headaches and many other
trouble are due to them.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
and Piils
Remove all Humors, overcome all
their effects, strengthen, tone Shd
invigorate the whole system
"I bad talt rbenm on my hands so that I
could not work. I took Hood's Bamparllla
and It drors oat Um humor. I continued
lti use till U sores disappeared." Mas.
la Q. Bbowh, Bumtord Falls, Me.
Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to
ours and keeps the promise.

Conscious of the fact that
the people have been very lib

proposition from the State:
JJ we raise $1,000, the tvtate

In a taw days moie there
will be open at Portland, Or
. a nt at
egon, anotner wona s fair
h designation of the Lewis
nd Clark Centennial Exposi
tion. This will be the first in
ternational exposition ever
beld west of the Rocky Moun
tains under the patronage of
he Federal government. It
will commemorate a large
and important cbapterin our
country '8 development. Noth
ing in our history is fuller of
romance, chivalrjahd dar
ing than the justly celebra-
ed Lewis and Clark expe
dition. This celebration isn't
intended, howeter, to com
memorate this one event but
o acquaint the world with
he vast resources and possi
bilities of the Pacific slope.
The management sends out
word that everything will be
he first world's fair to be
ready on the opening day, as
he history of similar affairs
has been that tbe summer has
been far advanced before all
exhibits were in full running
order. As this exposition is
limited to only four and a
lour and a hulf months, in
stead of the usual six or Bey
en, it is necessary that no
time be wasted at the begin
ning. Most of the constrnc
tion has long been complet
ed and tbe work of installing
the exhibits has been going
on at such a rate that the
confidence expressed in t b e
readiness to open the exposi
tion on schedule time is prob
ably justified. Ashev ille Cit

Sweeney W. Wagner was
born near Valle Cruos, Wa
tauga county, Oct. 18, 1880,
where he grew to y aung roan
hood.
In July, 1003 he, like ma
ny other young men, doi-ided
to go West. He wenttoDigh
ton, Kansas, to try to muke
a respectable and honest liv
ing, and I am informed that
so far he had been very sue
cessful aud had accumulated
some property.
On April 9, as he was re
turning from Sunday School
the mule be was riding fell in
to a hole, threw him off and
fatally crushed him. He only
survived 30 bourn, tie was
buried at Dighton far uway
from his native home, but it
is gratifying to know that
all wac done for him that lov
ing bands and medical skill
could suggest but tonoayail;
the poor boy had to go
Sweeney had a bright, 6nn
ny disposition, was kind and
sympathetic to all his ac
quaintances, and by his up
right walk bad made frienoV
whereyer be lived. Many will
be very sad when they hear
of his death.
On the 19th day of March,
1905, at a revival meeting
held in Dighton he was hap
pily converted, joined the
church, and this is his testi
mony: ,4Hattie, 1 will meet
you in heaven; a little talk
with Jesus nas made me very
happy." Hiscounteoance was
beaming with joy; hewassmi
ing, and that same sweet
smile was on his face when be
died. Four weeks later he re
marked to a devoted friend
that that was the happiest
week be ever spent in his life,
he week after he was conver
ed. Words on tomb stones
are vainly spent. An upriuht
ifn is the only tuonutnent
that will lt and not decay
under the devastating finger
of time.
He leaves a mother, one sis
ter and a brother to mourn
their loss, but out beyond
the shores of time we hope to
meet him again. Until then
farewell.
