John C. Dancy. the distinguished colored .orator now recorder of deeds In tha District of Columbia, spoke last night at the colored White Rock Baptist church at Durham. The occasion was a church affair for raising money and Dancy's speech was the chief attraction, though a colored quartette, which haa wen the championship of the State, sang aa a part of the programme. Many white people, attracted by Dancy's reputation, attended and the fund grew magically. The colored orator bad a very excellent lot of colored people to address, too. V MR. REYNOLDS' PARTING SHOT. Written far The Observer. 2 Situated nine hundred feet sea level with a sweep of vision which embraces an ut of door as far aa the eye, can reach, the Town of Carthage furnishes it Inhabitants all that goea -to make L Ufa worth Hvlng health, happiness and , good will to all who enter her precinct. Two lines of railway, the Plnehurst t Carthage and the 'Randolph A Cumberland, connecting.' with . the Southern and Seaboard, respectively, put the town In direct communica tion with the outside world. A hotel whoae service la high above the majority of hoatelries .which .am s. ..,rn small town dis penses comfort, cheer and excellent table fare to tne ;,yu The proprietor, Mr. William Leke. and hla estimable wife are trained hotel people from Pennsylvania. They know what their guesta require and aupply their wants in a manner that has earned for them ' the good will of the commercial tourist and the sojourner .who wishes to ' spend a season of rest and recuperation. Tha panto, if the late depression In business throughout the country may be dignified by the term, has not to any appreciable extent ; made Itself manifest in Carthage. A. ejraoea acbool building in course of erection, which would be, a credit to a town twice the size of this place, and a number of residences ' recently con structed, bear evidence that 'hard times" had failed to place Carthage on Its Itinerary when mapping out its route. She recently finished home of M. T. B. Tyson ranks easily among the finest and most beautiful residences In the State. It is a fine example or colonial architecture; the elmple dignity and elegance of design im parts an air of comfort and refine ment which fittingly exemplifies the cultivated taste of the owner. Ample In prdportlon and supplied with all modern interior conveniences, it forms an attractive setting, situated n the middle of a lawn in the centre f the town. The Tyson A Jonea Buggy Com pany's factory 1 running to IU full capacity, turning out carriages and buttles for , the wholesale trade. This concero, which was established In 160 and incorporated in 1880. the largest establishment 01 us sine in the South, building fine carriages nt n,rv denrrlDtlon. it exerts a dominating influence oVer the life of the town.

Correspondence of The Observer. Wllkesboro, Sept. 8 The following letter haa been sent to Chairman KlutU In reply to hla concernlnl Joint canvass between the con : greselonal nominees: ' Wllkesboro. N. C, Sept. B. 101. Hon. Theodore F. KlutU, Chairman, Salisbury. N. C. Dear Sir: In your letter of the second in stant, which your publicity bureau deem appropriate to dub "a parting allot," concerning a Joint canvass between the congressional nominees of this district, you arrive at a con clusion, the error of which I desire to noint out. The contents of the letter which I wrote you declining a Joint canvass of the "entire district." which of Itself la an . Indefinite proposition, were the result of conferencea with ind communications from our dii' the early morning the echo of Its whistle disturbs the laggard disciple of Morpheus and gives the signal for the commencement of a day's activities in factory, shop and every form of Industry. The nousewiies duties are regulated by It all-com pelling notes, and every timepiece, from the dollar ticker to the onyx mantel ornament Is forever dis credited If it varies from this arbiter of the town's chronology. Ita wel come summons at the prescribed hours for work and cessation of toll has, on occasions, been changed into in omnotis wall of distress, an in sistent call for help, which haa struck" terror and dismay Into the hearts or every llvlnsr soul within the sound of Its shrill appeal when the alarm or fir bursts from Its throat. Happily, these occasions are so Infrequent that the dread slantflcance attached to the terrifying blasts soon fade from the mind and give place to tnouanis con nected with the duties ana pleasures of home and town lire. The most' notable factor for pro motlng the growth of this healthful. Inspiring form of mental action is the Civic Club, an aggregation of ladles trlct committeemen and political ad-I who have wrought so many improve. viser. and not the dictations of Mr. Cowl. Tour assumption, therefore, that It constituted a "backdown" on bla part. is. you should see, purely gratuitous. Bo far as Mr. Cowles is personally concerned, he is now and has been willing to meet hia op . oonent. For that reason, I suggested to you that some joint discussions could, I thought, be arranged. But you saw fit, to my surprise, to treat the proposal with utter disregard, de- daring it to be 'too Indefinite and evasive." In view of the facts that you have . seen fit to close hastily the matter, and that Mr. llackett recent ap pointment at this place his and Mr. Cowles home town waa without an Invitation to his opponent to meet Mm or an offer to divide time with bltn, I and not a few others have concluded that, possibly, there are others not so anxious for a Joint dls- evasion aa they would desire It to : seem. Intimation has been made that I bave not treated your correspondence with the promptness that it deserved and demanded. During "the oem Ingly unpardonable delay," which baa been needlessly emphasised, I attended the last Illness and funeral of my mother. The second letter waa written at my first opportunity after returning from Charlotte: un- less. Indeed, I had availed myself of -punday. as did Mr. Hackett In his -personal challenge" Ot course, if you do not care to bave a few Joint discussions we will Have to treat the incident as closed; otherwise, I stand ready to meet you Monday at Greensboro, a convenient point to ua both, to see what con clusion may be mutually agreed Upon between ua as to time and i place. If this meets with your an. proval, wlr me and I will meet you n ureensooro Monday evening. . , Yours very truly, HENRY REYNOLDS, CTialrman Eighth District Republl- u caa executive Committee. KETJYIOX OP BCRKE VETERANS. Annual GaUicriog of Old Soldiers at Bsu-keanoant u Last Thursday and , Friday Moreoionl Under Way Vr ; Hoaumeat, Special to Th Observer. ments In every department of the town that visitors, old comers and strangers have been impressed by the general up-to-date appearance of the streets, sidewalks and door yards, And they have not stopped at the etreets: the cemetery haa been trans' formed into a beautiful resting place for th dead and a system Inaugurated which will provide for the proper care of the grounds hereafter The club Is comprised of sixty-two active members. Kach lady has taken a personal Interest in all that relates to the betterment of every locality. Its Influence is so far- reaching in its effects that every man woman and child will think twice before committing to the fqiir winds of heaven even a small scrap or paper. The sanitary condition of the town receives special attention and no need Is too trivial to escape consideration. The club ha pro vided large barrels, tastefully painted and neatly lettered In white with the suggestive word "waste." These re ceptacle are placed at convenient points and are emptied dally. The Civic Club, llko all movements of a reformatory character, was not per mltted to capture public sentiment by the mere announcement or us existence. Prejudice against progress has always prevailed In every com munity and In no place ha It march been reatsted with more success than In small towns. In view of this fact, the work accomplished by the Civic Clubj speaks volumes, for It was only by the persistent snd well directed efforts of that body that the numerous difficulties were overcome and the present state of . affairs brought bout. To the promotion of the organization Mrs. H. P. Seawell and Mrs. T. B. Tyson, president and secre tary, respectively, a large meed of praise la due. These ladle decided upon w plan of action and permitted nothing to divert their mind from the task In hand. Their earnestness of purpose, prompted by public spirit and civic pride. Is indicated by the result that have attended their ef forts. No momentary feeling of doubt found lodgment In their brain. nor was any rumor of somebody s prophecy that the whole scheme was impracticable allowed to, dampen their ardor. With convincing force they explained the object of their plans and galled recruit and Secret Marriage Announced Tester Special to Th Observer.
