-1 BUDBER'S CLAIMS TO . NAME "DEMOCRAT" 'Rest Upon a Very Doubtful Ba sis, Says Maj. Moody. Speeches of the Two Candidates at Franklin. Hard to Tell Where Gudger Is k "at" on Any Question. Correspondence of the Gazette. Franklin, Macon Co., Sept. 18. Moody opened here today to a good sized crowd. He said that two years ago he and Crawford made a canvass i of the district and tried to discuss the great issues of the campaign. No one doubted that Crawford was a demo crat. For years he had expounded the principles and doctrines of the demo cratic party more ably than any other democrat in western North Carolina. Neither could any man say that he was in doubt as to Jim Moody's posi- J tion on any of the questions that di vide the two great parties. He had always been a republican and willing to state his position on any question, j Gudger, on the other hand, is some thing of a puzzle. He calls himself the democratic candidate. He is not the democratic nominee. They have none. But is he a democrat? No man knows where he stands on any ques tion that divides or has divided the nation in national politics. Where does he stand on the money question? He condemns the conduct of the war in the Philippines, tout does not say what he would do in the premises, except to stop the war. He csi't do that, for it is over long since. Where is he on the tariff? He says he is "in favor of 'Protection for Revenue.'" What does that mean? What has he to .say about trusts? Merely that they are big. He does not even eay whether he prefers them large or small or objects to them of any size. No matter what your views on national policies may be, he gives you but one reason to vote for him, namely: "He needs the money, indeed he does." He arraigned Gudger very severely for his vote in the impeachment pro ceedings, when he voted for conviction when the judges on trial had been guilty of no other offence than deciding a case according to the law as it had been laid down for nearly a century -by the decisions of the court. For something like a half hour he spoke of the beneficent effects of' pro tection and sound money, contrasting the gloomy years of Cleveland's second term with the prosperous period of Harrison's term 'and the wounderful six years of republican rule since McKin ley was first elected in 1896. He spoke of the min.es and factories in the dis trict that were closed down during Cleveland's administration and which reopened when McKinley came in and have been running with increasing forces of employes ever since. Of con stant and abundant employment at good wages now,-as against scarce and partial employment then. He described the petty and unpatri otic attitude of the democrats in con gress, acting as mere obstructionists, and posing as the ardent champions of the "little brown men" in the Philip pines and the detractors and malign ors of our soldiers there. He quoted the dramatic rebuke administered by Amos J. Cummings (the Tammany democrat, lately deceased) to the dem ocrats in congress during the debate upon the bill to provide shelter for the army in the islands. All but 16 of the democratic members opposed the bill, and Mr. Cummings, stepping into the middle of the aisle, and facing his par ty associates, said: "I am amazed at your course in this matter. If I should cast my vote against furnishing shelter for our soldiers serving in those islands I should expect to be paralyzed and to be damned." He also remarked that although the democratic national congressional com mittee had refused to circulate Car n.ack's speeches (and thereby implied an intent to drop their attacks upon the army) it is the only national sub ject which Gudger make any effort to discuss. Gudger replied in about the usuai strain, dividing his time in the usual proportions o two-thirds nigger and sate issues and one-third to matters 'ui some narona: important and to j&orse. play j?-oslj horse play. He Je-aid that M ,ocly contracted tha "horse j distemper down ir. Cuba;" that "he 'dropped a m'c;dl.!ng of beef on his big toe," and that the honors paid him by the Cuban republic were in recognition of these things. He told a tale that is a regular part of his program, and told it once too often. A very promi nent democrat who was present with some ladies rose, and saying "There are ladies in the house," promptly es corted the ladies out of the hall. Mr. Gudger tried to apologize as the party withdrew, but they did not return. He today made a statement that may suggest an explanation of his remark ablep hra.se, "Protection for Revenue." Here it is: "I am willing to protect the factory, but not to such an extent as to make the factory owners the millionaires and the poor farmers the paupers of the country." This tfeems to recognize the value of the principle of protection as such and as .opposed to the Idea of "tariff for revenue only," and merely to advocate a lesser de .. gree of protection, a lower tariff. Now this is practically what McKinley ad vocated in his great address at Buffalo; it is about what the republicans of Iowa have embodied in their platform, ex cept that the republicans are willing to protect the farmer as well as the man ixfacturer. Now, if you know just what he means, you know just where he stands. Do you class his position as republican or democratic? He is in lay or of granting independ ence to the Philippines, and thinks Hoar said the Philippine warN cost six hun v dred million (he always says six hun dred, billion, tout he can't mean that). He particularly desires that the Ga zette man should write, it down. It Is written! He "fears that there will be a deluge of laborers from the tropics in the United States if we keep the Philip pines. It would sorely puzzle him to cite a case, in all ' history, where a tropical race emigrated in any great numbers to a colder country except the negro. They came in chains, by no wish of their own. Elsewhere he has amused himself with sneers at R. D. Sisk, who was nominated in this judicial district for judge, but whom he says Pritchard and iMoody took off the ticket "without his consent or knowledge," the place be ing given to Baylus Cade of Waynes ville. As this is Dan Sisk's home he omitted the U6ual sneers, but Moody scored him for being guilty of them elsewhere, and read Risk's letter to Pritchard, in which Jie gave his reas ons for declining to run. There can be no doubt that Sisk has gained friends and Gudger has lost votes -by the whole transaction. As I understand that Mr. Sisk has sent the letters to the Ga zette, I do not give them here. At one point of the Gudger speech, when he was attacking Moody in what he probably considered his most ef fective manner, a gentleman in the audience suddenly shouted in stento rian tones: "Hurrah for Jim Moody." "Oh, yes, of course," said Gudger, "you republican; you'll shout for Moody," etc.. etc. The "republican" was Mr Bob Porter, for many years one of the most active of the leading democrats of this county. Gudger now claims that Moody's story of his presence in Raleigh to help on Pritchard' s election to the sen ate is a whole year wrong as to the date, otherwise it is O. K. As affect ing Gudger's status as a democrat, the grave importance of this question of dates will be at once apparent per haps! Franklin, N. C, Sept. 18 1902. Editor of the Gazette: As Hon. J. M. Gudger.-Jr., has taken it upon himself to discuss .Judge Cade and myself on every stump so far in the present campaign -against Major Moody, I have decided to let the public and my many friends in the 16th dis trict know the true facts. So I hereby send you copy of two letters that will explain themselves. Very truly yours. R. D. SISK. Franklin, N. C, Aug. 25, 1902. Hon. J. C. Pritchard, Marshall, N. C. Dear Sir: The republicans of the 16th Judicial district conferred the honor upon me of recommending my name to the State convention for Superior court judge for that district. The democratic press of the state seems to think that it is an unpardon able crime for a man to be only 26 years of age to have practiced law for only 5 years and to get the nomination for judge on the republican ticket: now while -1 care but little for what my enemies may say, and while I appreci ate the great honor conferred upon me by the convention, and feel that if elected I could serve the great state of North Carolina fully as well as many of the nominees on the democratic tick et, yet I must respectfully decline the nomination, so that our party may nom inate some man of more mature years and experience. In doing so I feel sure that the democratic party will find fault with whoever the republicans may nom inate although he be a saint. Hoping that the State convention will not consider my name, and as my age is the only fault -which they can find, I cannot 'be hurt since any district nominated me without my consent and while I was a candidate for another office. I respectfully decline the honor. With 'best wishes for the success of the party, I am, very truly yours, R. D. SISK. J. C. Pritchard, chairman; D. C. Pear son, secretary; C. G. Bally, treas urer. HEADQUARTERS . Republican State Executive Committee. Marshall, N. C. Marshall, N. C, August 26, 1902. Mr. R. D. Sisk, Franklin, N. C. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 25th, inst., notifying me of your declination of the nomination of Superior court judge of the 16th Judicial district has been received, and I have this day ac cepted the same. With best wishes, I am, very truly, J. C. PRITCHARD, Chm. Rep. State Ex. Com. cn C a tile. i'0. An order Havr,r.a.

The wrong kind of food fills more graves than any other cause. It is ea sy to retain good health by the use of proper food and it is pleasant too. The Rev. G. M. Lodge of Iowa City, Iowa, made a successful experiment. "I am 65 years of age and a preach er. Last (winter I went to Kansas and had charge of two churches. A little use of Grape-Nuts food made me be lieve it to be a true (brain and nerve builder; I wanted to experiment fur ther with-it so I used Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper for three months with the best results. I not only never had better health in my life but the ef fect on my brain was 'wonderful. I had become forgetful of names and persons and things, was often unable to recall even the names of old friends. After using Grape-Nuts for two weeks forgotten names came to me and as the days and weeks passed my mem ory was wonderfully quickened as to names and dates, and mental ability in general. I could preach without man uscript or notes as never before and in a month or less r said to myself, 'Grape-Nuts is a 'brain food,' and as such I now recommend it.' ( It also gives health and blood, nerve and muscle. Cheerfully and earnestly I advise students, clergymen, teachers and all mental workers to use Graper Nuts steadily and systematically if you wish 7to excel in mental and literary worK, renew your age and feel well. It is the best nerve and brain food I have ever known. iWAYNtoUILLLSi - - -- - t - J . m m m m m m m a Waynesville, Sept. 20. Waynes ville turns out as many newly married couples as any town of like population in the state, and yet there are plenty of bachelors and good-looking old maids left. But the wedding bells ring mer rily on. The next marriage, unless an other couple are keeping matters quiet, will be Mrs. Kate C. Walter and Mr. George E. Pegues, tooth of Waynesville, which happy event will occur on the 25th inst. The friends of these two popular people have long suspected such news, but the announcement has only been made a few days. Dr. J. W. Bradfield and family, who spent the summer here, left today f oi their home in Charlotte. Dr. Bradfield came here an invalid, but goes away in good health. Court convenes here Monday.

Hot Springs, Sept. 20.-There was a general rush for the iping pong parlor, card rooms and bowling alleys during the two rainy days which broke up the week of perfect weather. Indoor amuse ments have been more or less cast aside with the opportunity for indulging in golf and tennis, not to mention horse back riding, and it was with increased zest that they were resumed. Bridge whist seems to claim a great deal of at tention and the guests daily assemble to determine the best players in this intrcate game. Mrs. E. C. Laird has given some very delightful little parties at her cottage. Early morning walks seem to 'be quite popular and certainly there cair be no greater pleasure than scrambling up the sides of the historic old mountains. Just now autumn is laying her devastating hand on the fol iage and great splashes of red leaves stand out in bold relief against the various shades of green and yellow. Friday night there was a picnic to Paint Rock, the" party starting out early in the evening and returning later by moonlight.' Refreshments were served and everyone had the jolliest kind of time. A number of guests are booked for the coming week, and among those registered in the last few days are: Mrs. C. J. Fuller, Mr. J. T. Fuller, Memphis, Tenn.; Mr. D. G. Devenish Miss Enamie, Max Marcus, Ashe ville, N. C; Miss M. Duncan, Mrs. M. C. -Scott, Montgomery, Ala.; J. B. Thomas, T. C. Burke and family, Ma con, Ga.; W. P. McGhee, Raleigh, N. C; H. H.

In the Architectural Record for Sep tember Pierre Calmettes describes M. Dufayel's remarkable establishment in Paris. This is one of the most inter esting centers of French commerce, both on account of its magnificent dec oration and because of the system of business practiced there. It is the cen ter of a great credit scheme. For a small sum usually one-fifth of the whole price any one can purchase whatever household goods he may require and settle the balance by weekly install ments varying from 30 cents to $4. This system has been readily appreci ated by both rich and poor, and it Is reported that 3,000,000 customers have placed orders with the firm, and 3,000 clerks are employed in booking and sending off these orders, which amount to $2(5,000,000 in the course of a year. It is not an extensive dry goods em porium such as we have in America, but more of the nature of a banking and order concern. In an immense gallery are 250 mahogany desks. Here come the customers and take their places in a row of armchairs and await their turn to pay their install ments or receive credit notes they have applied for. M. Dufayel does not sell clothes, underlinen and other articles directly to bis customers, but gives in return for a small installment an or der on one of the 400 shops with which be has business connections. For such goods be pays cash and recoups him self by the weekly payment . M. Calmettes assures us tbat the profits of the. business are not made on the nucbase price, but by getting a fair dis count from the seller by paying cash down. Coming to America to Learn. Several more Prussian nobles Vill visit the United States. They are Count von Tiele Winckler, Count Adelbert von Sierstorpff, Count A. von Pour tales, Count von Vernstorff and Baron von Ruble, ' representatives of aristo cratic Prussian houses, who are com ing with the emperor's consent, to study social conditions and observe the methods used here in educating the sons of Reading American families.

Cook, of Brooklyn, who was wltJi Lieutenant Peary cn one of his arotte trips and with the Eeligica expedition to the South pole as chief surgeon, ex presses the opinion th-at Peary's ku est endeavor was by no means a fail ure, and that the explorer has added material to the annals of science which will be found invaluable; in fact, more valuable than the actual discov ery of the pole itself. "All this talk about the terrible dangers to be met before reaching th pole is slieer rot," continued Dr. Cook. "A man, all things taken into account, is just as safe on the Arctic ice fields as he is in New York. There are few germs there, no contagious diseases, no miasmatic swamps, no sewer gas, no decaying vegetables, no rotting rags. Everything is on ice. There is no danger in traversing the ice fields, nor from the cold which Is not so severe as the cut of the sa line blasts on the Atlantic eeacoasts. "It is the food question," he added, "that is the cul de sac that closes up the way to the pole." When this problem is solved reach ing the pole will, in hi a opinion, "be Quite & simple undertaking.
