Messrs Ehringhaus and Markham made Fine Speeches. Last Monday during the noon hour while the session of the court had adjourned for dinner Congressman John H. Small, J. C. B. Ehringhaus Democratic nominee for solicitor, and Thomas J. Markham, Democratic Nominee for the state legislature ad dressed a large gathering of voters of Pasquotank county on the politi cal issues of the day. Mr. Small took the National poli tics for his theme; and he discussed in a masterly manner the political abuses and extravagencies of the Re publican administration in National affairs. His speech made a telling and influencing effect upon the crowd. Several Republican leaders who were present and recognized the detrimen tal effects of his speech upon their party remarked ; afterwards Nthat Small made his same old Clap Trap speech. This is sure thing that the speech was a strong one and bore down pretty heavy on the Radicals for they did not fancy it a bit. If yon want to get a Radical mad find out what he doesn't want to talk about, and talk about-that all the nme. This is what Mr. Small did and CONFEDERATE OEAO Time is the great panacea for all evils. Time healB all wounds, effaces aJl sectional lines and unites the people of a community, a state or a nation. Twenty years ago, who would have been so optimist as to have prophe sized that the time would come when the national government would erect monuments to the confederate dead; yet the following Associated Press Dispatch sent out frm Washington, D C. tells of such a movement. Every step taken by the. national ?overnment to heal the wounds cans ed by the strife of '61V65, proves that e southern cause was just and that a'l fair minded people of every part f the nation recognize it as jast The following press dispatch states that an appropriation has been made by the war department to erect a nument to the confederate dead that sleeps in the North. n conformity with the recommen dation made just before his death by General Oates, Federal commissioner fr marling the graves of Confeder ate soldiers and sailors who died in Northern prisons during the Civil War fie war department has award- a a contract for the construction of mnument costing $20,000 in the nfe4erate cemetery at Fort Look ut'.

Their uncom plimentary remarks is the best evi dence that Mr. Smalls speech was a good one. Mr. Ehringhaus spoke on state politics and showed himself well ver sed with the political situation in this state. All who heard him were pleased with the efforts of the able young attorney who will be the next solicitor of this district. Mr. Markham followed him- with a short speech, in which he announc ed that, at a later date he would make a canvass of the entire coun ty and would speak on the political issues of the county, i ' Mr Markham is no iflng politician and is the candidate of no clique or faction. He is free from all political alliances and declares thai, when he joins the legislative body, he will do all in his power to serve the interest of all the people. Those who heard Mr. Markham be lieve inplicibly in him and they .are certain that their interests will be taken care of in the next legislature. BURGLARS ARE GETTING BUSY Burglars got busy around here Sunday night. Some one entered the residence of C. C. Pappendick ia Main street, having entered through a kitchen window and then used an ax on the door. The buglar was evi dently intent on securing money, since he left a lot of valuable silver ware strewn around the floor. The bureau drawers were riffled and the contents thrown over the floor. The only thing missed was a sack of flour. A burglar entered W. J. Woodleys store and robbed the cash drawers of several dollars in change. Noth Sng else was disturbed. The police recently has been very successful in picking up local burg lars who had stolen merchandise on their persons. This causes them to be shy of encumbering themselves with such incriminating evidence. There was left no clue that will lead to the identity of either of these burglars. DEFEATED SPENCE FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS The returns from the second pri mary held last Thursday shows that J. W. Munden defeated J. C. Spence the present register of deeds by 75 majority. The vote polled was one of the largest ever polled in a primary in this county, there being 1,343 votes cast, for the two candidates,of which number J. Wl Munden received TOD and J. C. Spence received 633. A great deal or dissatisfaction has arisen over this primary. It is alleg ed that a great many Republicans participated in this primary. Earth to Li feLlZAfiETH CITY, NORTHCKilNA, FRIDAY, SfiPTEM IS IT In our midst is malicious death. To. body, even more than of old. Bujt to character, to mind and the Go4 given soul, he walks these streets an enemy bold. He seeks ;for the priceless to lay it low; and to strike at character a demons blow; to take from life the Christ like glow; is the effort of him that you all know. Now let him walk these streets of yours, and sow his thoughts so base; and not only character, mind and soul but the body will take its place. For the demon death is weaving a wreathe of hell; to place upon the brow of this town: unless righteousness in its power arises and puts such things down.

Does the queen of the home know how much the banishing of tu berculosis lies in her power, will, in telligence and persistence? or how easily she may build the walls of pre vention about her family. A farmers family consisted of a slender fathor; a plucky little mother and a half dozen children, death of a son, near manhood, seemed like one of those mysterious, Inevitable sor pows that our grandmothers mere easily reconciled to the will of Provi dence than can we.

Back home was poverty and the possibility of more cases of the Bame disease. How could she prevent this? The question flUed her mind by day and sue studied the case.

Then the house, as well as former habits of living, was suspected and it was found that ft was undoubtedly infected by former residents. So the plague met another sturdy blow in the thorough disinfec tion of the building. In a few months this resourceful young woman became plump and evi dently cured, the brother was on the high road to the fat mens club and a younger sister who had been ailing was apparently rescued from the first assaults of the disease. It required no great skiH to bring about this happy result. Common sense and persistence were the great factors.
