V If I' 4 THE NEWS-f i HRALD. T. G. COBB, Publisher THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1908. The historic Plains of Abraham, where Wolfe and Montcalm fought the last battle of the - French and Indian War, was the scene of a great celebration last week. The Prince of Wales at tended these ceremonies and con tributed $10,000 to be used in maintaining this famous place as a permanent memorial. Vice President Fairbanks was one of the notables present We have a letter suggesting county officers which, had we the inclination, we could not print, because the name of the writer did not accompany it In sending a communication to a newspaper always give the name of the writer, whether you wish it to appear in print or not Mr. Thomas E. Watson, Popu list nominee for President like Colonel Bryan, publishes a paper. Watson's paper is called The Jeff ersonian - Col Dnel Bryan's The Commoner. Unlike Colonel Bryan, however, Mr. Watson does not retire from the editorial management of this paper during the campaign, nor does he pro pose to contribute all the receipts of his paper over expenses to the campaign fund of his party. But Colonel Bryan will know all right what goes in The Commoner, and the readers of these two papers ought to get some enjoyment out or lite while the campaign lasts, Charlotte Evening Chronicle. W.. Bryan Prefers Pen to Mouth. Columbia. S. C. Dispatch. Mr. Bryan's campaign will have at least one novel feature," said William E. Gonzales, editor of The State, who returned to day from a trip to the west, dur ing which he twice visited the Democratic standard-bearer at Fairview. "That feature will be the resort to the pen rather than the platform. "When I appealed to Mr. Bryan to make as vigorous a can vass as in 1896," said Mr. Gonzales, "he reminded me that he. was now twelve years older, and besides," said Mr. Bryan, "I belive I can be more effective in writing arguments for Dem ocracy that newspapers can use if they will, over my signature. "When I saw him last week, it was Mr. Bryan's intention to de liver two, perhaps three, speech es in New York State, one of them in New York city and six or eight speeches in the States of Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. He proposes to discuss fully some one Democratic principle in each of these addresses. The re mainder of the campaign Mr. Bryan expects' to stay at home and prepare letters or articles in the nature of signed editorials for such newspapers as will use them. He will also discuss the issues with any Democratic speaker that may wish to consult him. "The west is giving Mr. Bryan much encouragement and he is very hopeful markedly more buoyant than before the convention." as in Oldest Man. Lnoir Topic Mr. Gilliam Coffey, so far we know, is the oldest man tnispartot the State, certainly uie oiaest man m Caldwell coun ty. He is now living with his young son at Upton, is 98 years oia and is still enjoying good neaitn. Supt. J. E. Avent has had a call to conduct a teachers' insti tute in Randolph county.

The ser vices ot two physicians, after hard work, brought her back to consciousness. At last rpnnrt she was getting better, but could waiK only with the help of per sons on either side of her. There was not much damage aone to the house, however. . f -? 1 1 Z4 ; ' """i'J ! ' !!' mi pzzz - tr - aJL riZLn.a EH " V t To the Voters of Buike County, and Especially to Democratic Voters: I want to call attention to certain charges, that have been and are still being circulated against me, that I wish to correct. I am charged with the de feat of the Democratic nominee, Mr. Holloway, and the success of Mr. Battle, the jConfederate soldier and independent candidate for Register of Deeds, six years ago. This I have heard for these last six years and long er. These charges have been the (fi i rect or remote causes of my defeat be fore the Democratic conventions, before which I have appeared for the office of Register of Deeds for the last three conventions. I deny the charges, and they are very unjust. I have voted for Mr. Holloway every time he has been a candidate. I am not responsible for what others did, and how they voted. And when I have appeared before these conventions, and asked for the nomina tion, and a pretext is wanted to insure my defeat, I am credited with the de feat of the Democratic nominee. I would like to know who was the cause of the defeat of the Democratic nomi nees for Clerk of Court six and two years ago? Ask the defeated candi dates and their friends. How was it that Capt. Bristol was elected over the Democratic candidate and nominee? Certainly by the aid of Democratic votes, and if I remember correctly, especially by Morganton democrats, who voted for him by the scores; and I have no words of censure, but of ap proval, for he was one of the boys of the sixties who fought and suffered as a Confederate soldier. Well do I re member the speech of the Hon. J. F. Spainhour in Moreranton on the occasion of the presentation of the crosses of honor to the surviving Confederate soldiers. He took occasion r e 'i t in his speech: "Many people of the .coun ty, he said, "have expressed their surprise at the defeat of the Demo cratic nominees, and the election of Capt. Bristol and Mr. Battle over their opponents." He said to him it was no surprise and no mystery. They were both ex-Confederate snlriiws anrl Vto same patriotic blood that flowed in the veins of the soldiers of the sixties still lived in their noble sons, the children of noble sires; and the audience applauded approval. He SDoke the truth nnrl rxr, one doubting. But see what duplicity is practiceu Dy a iew men wnen they want to compass the defeat of one nmr old crippled and hobbline- Confpdfrntj soiaier. when thev accuse htm of homo- . i 1 , i . . . " me soie cause 01 uie aeieat ot the nominee, a young man, who secured the nomination for the office of Register of Deeds over two old disabled ex-Con- tederate soldiers, one whns nViit lor sleeps in the dust of Virginia's soil, and the other with a shot-up arm, as good as almost none, and who has since died. And yet some men, who call themselves Democrats, utter their sur prise at the disruption of the Demo cratic party, and the dissentions and the discords that have followed in these last years among democrats in Burke county. The Democratic party claims to be preeminently the party of the confederate soldier, and who doubts it? rJUt how has It been for there last maw in ounce county, with a few excen- a: t i ,i . . r nuns; jei tne recorris sneak- I am loath to believe that the Democratic party of Burke countv is reaHv to rele gate its Confederate soldiers to obliv ion, or to the backgrounds, while he lives and is physically able and compe tent to fill a county office, and one in the gift of its people. And upon this belief I rest my faith in the Democratic party, and once more ask the party for its support in this my fourth appearance before its convention for the nomination for Register of Deeds, and ask the voters of Burke county to give me their support for this office for one term, that I may be able to lift a debt that hang's over mv home onH Una i J J , 11 Xlljf loot days free from debt, and die having an I uuiucumuereu nome. enow soldiers and citizens and voters of Burke county, if you have any sympathy for lie of your dependent and suffering country men, give me your help now, as I feel the weight of years, and the infirmities of age creeping upon my mortal frame, as this will be the last opportunity you will have of voting for me for an office. Very respectfully yours, D. P. GOODE. Rutherford College, N. C , July 28, 1908. Joseph Pearson Caldwell. The Southern Printer, Washington, D. C. Mr. Joseph Pearson Caldwell, who has so ably edited the Char lotte (N. C.) Observer, and who has succeeded in making it one of the most influential papers in the Carolinas as well as in the en tire South, was born in States ville on June 16, 1853. After se curing a common school educa tion, he learned the printing business and worked for a time at the case. Afterward he owned and edited the Statesville (N. C.) Land mark, and by fourteen years' persistent effort and hard work, he succeeded in making it one of the most favorably known and widely read weeklies in the State. For four years Mr. Caldwell was Mayor of the city of States ville, and for fourteen years he has been Chairman of the Board of Directors of the State Hospital for the Insane, at Morganton. He was a delegate to the Na tional Democratic Convention in 1892. . He takes great interest in all things that will benefit the State and is very active in all matters for the welfare and betterment of (as he says) "Greater Char lotte." He is known far and wide as a Driiiiant writer, a man of great energy and courage, and his memory of names, faces, and dates is almost marvelous. It may be said that Mr. Cald well was generously equipped by nature for success in the news paper field, but it is also true that his progress is due to his own persistent striving and well doingelements alone that carve J. : I out success ior a man in his nrc- fession and make a name for him in his community that is a source of satisfaction as the years pass.
