TUESDAY. MAY ai. 1006.
Has anybody asked you the old
question, "Is it hot enough for
you?"
Since Ex-Congressman Romu
lus Z ig-Zag Linney has named
the place of holding the Republi
can State Convention, the execu
tive committee need only to fix
the day.
A Louisville -woman laughed
herself to death over a funny
story. She must have gotten
hold of a part of the congression
ial record containing speeches on
the rate bill.
When Kuropatkin announced
that he would write a history of
the Russo-Japanese war, he was
asked if it would be a running
story." Now he will not write
the story at all.
The Washington Post fears
that something will be left un
said in connection with the rate
bill discussion. Among other
things, it says: "Wouldn't it be
simnlv awful it after the rate
1 -
bill is passed and signed, some
senator should think of some
thing he left unsaid."
The people of the State are
wondering who will succeed
Thomas S, Rollins as chairman
of the Republican State Execu
tive Committee. Some one said
to Judge W. P. Bynum, .Jr., re
cently that the judge was the man
for the place. To this Judge
Bynum repled, "I would as soon
be in h without claws as to be
mixed up in such a crowd."
Next!
President Roosevelts' sudden
change of attitude with reference
to the rate bill has lowered him
considerably in the estimation of
the people generally. Senators
Tillman and Bailey have attacked
him in speeches that were bitter
in their denunciation of him. The
trouble is that President Roose
velt has talked with too many
members of congress and allow
ed himself to be quoted on more
occasion than was best for him
and the supporters of the rate
bill.
"I don't want you to speak to
me again," is what Judge Pritch
ard said to Congressman Black
burn in Washington Wednesday.
Several years ago Congressman
Blackburn went to Raleigh and
in a hard fought contest with
Marion Butler stood side by side
with Senator Pritchard. We had
thought Senator Pritchard too
much ot a gentleman to refuse to
shake hands with a man who had
labored for him, but his action
only goes to show how great is
the ingratitude of some Republi
can politicians.
The Census Bureau has issued
a bulletin in which it is stated
that one woman out of sixteen
works for her living. There are
only eight trades in which women
are not engaged. This is fine
news, isn't it? It is very encour
aging to the advocates of women
suffrage, who will throw up their
hats and shout' for joy. But it
does not seem' "fine" to us. What
is the matter with our girls? Are
they extravagant and not willing
to be makers of homes, rather
than to be engaged in business?
What is the matter with our
boys?- Are they not "Willing "to
pro id- for their sisters? These
are burning questions that come
trooping intoour minds and press
us for an answer. They are ques
tions in which our future is in
Browa Captures Convention.
Wilmington, May, 15 Friends
of J. A. Brown, of Chad bourn,
seem to have captured the county
convention here to-day for the
the selection of delegates to the
State and district conventions.
G.J.Boney was elected chairman
and to him was delegated the
authority to appoint delegates to
all the conventions after confer
ence with an advisory committee
to be appointed by him, one from
each ward in the city and one
member from the county town
ships at large. It was expected
that Godwin, of Harnett, would
lead in the congressional race in
this county but, at the ward
meetings last Tuesday night, a
businessman's ticket of dele
gates to the county convention
appeared in the central wards
and were elected without opposi
tion. The Congressional Vote.
According to the official vote
for .Governor in 1904 as given in
the North Carolina Year Book,
the vote of the several counties
in the Sixth District in the Con
gressional Convention, later to
be called, will be as follows:
New Hanover 26
Brunswick 13
Bladen 20
Columbus 32
Robeson 49
Cumberland 34
Harnett 24
Total
198
Jotinson-McCormlc.
The following invitation has
been received: "Mr. and Mrs.
Henry K. McCjarmic request the
honor of your presence at the
marriage of theirilaughter, Lena
Esten, to Dr. Livingston F. John
son, Wednesday afternoon, May
the thirtieth, nineteen hundred
and six, at half after five o'clock,
Methodist Church, Rowland,
North Carolina."
Change ol Schedule.
Effective May 27th, trains No.
39 and 40, now operated between
Hamlet and Wilmington, will be
Extended through to Charlotte,
as was in effect before the change
of April 15th. These trains will
take eare of all local stops and
elminate the necessity of Nos. 28
and 41 stoppin between Monroe
and Hamlet. This will save the
annoyance of a change of trains
at Hamlet and Monroe by pas
sengers going from here to Char
lotte. NAME CARVING.
Upon the samls I wrote my name
And hoped that it might stay,
But soon there came the sweeping tidt
And washed my name away.
Again, I carved upon a tree
My name .in letters plain,
But when I came in after years
I searched for it in vain.
A granite shaft I built so high
And on it placed my name;
The stone endured but for while
And then it downward came.
"If all these fail, what shall I do?"
I asked myself at last;
And then I thought of another plan,
A plan with joy forecast.
On hearts of men my name I'll write
In letters bright and fair
By deeds of good that I may do
While I am living here.
Aud then beyond the touch of time
My name will surely live.
For reason of good that I may do,
And joys to others give. C. A. H.
Most men would save a lot of
money by letting others do all the
speculating.
