Yes, Bill will be elected presi dent, but we will have to wait another week before we can tell you which one. And while we are all interested c xt a : 1 J O A - A A" 1 A- in uui xnbiupai aim Quaua biurets lea us not forget to elect every man on our county ticket. "The Republican platform, says ex-Senator Carmack is like a Mother Hubbard. It coders every thing and touches nothing." The editor of The Watchman has put in hi j dollar toward the election of Col, W. J. Bryan and feels sure that satisfactory results will follow. After twelve years in office the Republican party has brought forth, as its most conspicuous ser vice, a panic. The question for settlement Tuesday is whether we shall con tinue, the policies of Taft, tariff and trusts, . or adopt those of Bryan, business and beneficence. A je you ready- to bow down to th golden image to be set up by thr Pagan. Taft or will you remain a i resman under the rule of the Ct ristian gentleman Mr, Bryan? Decide that by your vote Tuesday. i Indications are tdtd effect that the Democrats will carry New York, Indiana aiid Ohio. This seems most remarkable, but never theless tin 3 ' If such things hap penj or part'of them,3ryan will be our next president. ,.,. . Every Democrat is urged to take part in . the election.,. Vote your? self "and invite your friends to do likewise. ; Vote the full ticket, from '-Bryan down, and all will be well. 3 Remember only the votes cast will be counted, so make it your business to vote Tuesday, November 3rd, ram or shine. About 3,000 voters particpated in tha Democratic primary. The primary was conducted fairly and squarely toward every candidate and the nominations were given to those for whom the people voted. This being the case there is no excuse for a Democrat not to vote the full ticket without a single scratch. Bryan may not be elected. We can never tell the result of an election until the votes are count ed. But there is one thing as cer tain as taxes and that is Mr. Bryan has the Republicans badly scared. Many of them are prob ably saying to each other now: "Cheer up old boy, tfie worst, is yet to come." The panic of 1893 originated under the Republican administra tion of Benjamin Harrison, .and the present conditions are attribu tal to the Republican administra tions of the past twelve years, and the Republicans were also in power during the panic of 1873, in fact it is the party of panics and hard times. Whenever it has remained in power long enough a panic has been the result. The matter of prohibition is set tled. It was settled last May by the good people of the county, by members of both the Republican and Democratic parties. Some of the strongest and most able advo cates of prohibition were Repub licans. They did what their con sciences told them was right and they deserve credit for it. We do not believe that they will how vote to undo what they did then. Investigate a little before voting. Attention is called to our illus trated supplement this week. It is all good reading, consisting of un varnished facts, and is intended as information to the intelligent voter. Facts are what the candid, honest man wants, not gush, not worthless promises, nor pretended virtues. Let's give these things careful consideration, cast aside prejudice, let reason govern our conduct and Vote for the best in terests of our nation, state and county. ..We are struck with the peculiar leasoning of a small farmer yester day who said that he could not vote for Mr. Bryan because he was afraid that in doing so the condi tions of 1893 might be repeated, and, at the same time, admitting that considerable of panic was now going about. If the big finan ciers of the New England and the Middle States are not afraid of Mr. Bryan's election, many of whom are supporting him cheer fully, why should a small potato raiser be putting up such a plea? There are some good men in the Republican party and that party has nominated some of them for various offices. We respect them and their views, but we cannot see where that party offers any thing better than what we havu and, therefore, cannot see any good reason for a change at this time. We believe in popular gov ernment, we believe that the peo ple should rule and we believe the Democratic nominees, from Bryan down, have bean properly nomi nated, that the principles of the party are for the best interests of our people and therefore its nom inees should receive the votes of all good people. We are makiog no appeal to our Republican friends to vote the Democratic ticket, for it is to be expected that they will support the nominees of their party. But we do wish, for the laBt time prior to the election, to urge upon every Democrat in Rowan countv the fact that he should do his duty on election day and vote for every candidate on tbe Democratic tick et. We are interested in and de sire the succesa of every candidate; on the Democratic ticket and ' we have laid special stress upon the name of Mr. rMcKenzie solely from the fact that a fight is being made upon, none other of the bounty candidates. It seems that he has been selected as the special subject of the wrath of a number of citizens, many of whom have always been Democrats and who participated in the primary and with them it is "anything to beat McKenzie." They won't accom plish anything, for Mr. McKenzie will be elected, but as stated be fore we want? to see him -elected by a large majority. Not one word is urged against his integri ty or his ability to. fill the office of, sheriff to the satisfaction of the people and in the interests of all alike. Even under ordinary circumstances it would the duty of , every Democrat in the county to support him j He received the nomination fairfy and squarely, and the united and hearty support of every Democrat who participat ed in the primary election should be given him. He deserves this, it is his by every right and he should receive it.; We wish to ; call attention to , the statement made in this week's communication fron Gold Hill. Our correspondent at that place is a wide-awake man, knows whereof he speaks and one we have found to be entirely trustworthy, therefore the statement he makes can, be considered straight. It is as follows: VThe Southern, the last cf the mines here, has closed down in definitely, they have pulled out the pump and the mine is filling with water, however, Mr. Proctor is in receipt of a letter stating that if Mr, -Taft is elected president they will put in an air compressor, which will cost $8,000, and resume work at an early day." Of course all good people regret that the mines at Gold Hill have discontinued operations, they re gret to see men thrown out of em ployment, they regret to learn of a fellow mortal being in want they regret that there is such a thing as a panic, and they regret that right in the midst of bounti ful crops, good core mercial condi tions and sound conditions gener ally, we are blessed with a Repub lican administration dosing the country with panic pills, concoct ed by its pampered pets, the tar iff, the trusts and a great army of licensed plunderers, official and private. It is to be regretted tha we have men iu this country who will stoop to buy and sell votes directly or indirectly, also that we have men who can be bought It is likewise strange that a com munity will vote for prohibition in one election and then allow themselves to be influenced by disgruntled politicians and vote directly opposite to the principles and interests voted for last May. We have always heard said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If this be tru, and about everybody admits that It is, why did not the Republican party, which is now claiming the ability to restore prosperity, pre vent the present panic? It is in power. It has been ju full con trol of the national government for twelve years. Further, if it can restore good times, why does it not do so at once? Why per mit tbe people to suffer a day longer? Why must we wait till Mr. Taft is elected? We are from Missouri and before casting our vote for Mr. Taft, or any of the lesser lights of Republicanism. !ve would like for that party to show U3 its ability to restore pros perity. . Are we uureasonoble? Would you care to purchase a horse without first testing his qualities and making sure he will fulfill the claim made for him? But this proposition, vhich our good friend, Mr. Proctor, has re ceived, embodies an insult to in telligent freemen. It just simply means that tiie people around about Gold Hill haven't the abil ity to understand appeals made to their intelligence and honesty and are therefore only fit to be bought by doubtful promises or driven by threats. Just another point cn this sub ject: It was only recently that Mr. Proctor severed his connec tion with the Southern Mine at Gold Hill. We have not heard of his re-appointment, and just why anyone should . write him a Jetter about putting in an air compress or is just a little mysterious. Per- haps Mr. Proctor would not mind showing it to anyone who might f be at all incredulous. J SHALL THE VEST BE?" HAR- That story of "the lynching of two prominent A lawyers t near Union City, Tenn., is almost, in credible and cine blushes with shame to think that such a deed could be committed is a civilized arid christian country.. One might say, "All murders past do stand excused in this." It is not the first horrible crime committed in Tennessee or its sister - state?, but it is probably, the first one of its kind which has ever oc curred witbin the borderg of these United States. We con gratulate Gov. Patterson upon offering such an unusually : large reward for the apprehnsion of the cowardly murderers and hope Tennessee will run down the per petrators of this foul act, which will be a blot upon the reputation of the State until it is fully and complete! v avenged, ihe scoun drels who committed this deed should be brought to justice, if it takes every able-bodied man, in the State, outside of themselves, to do it. And if our sister States can arrest and convict, even some ef the perpetrators of this dark crime, it will serve as a sort of "scotch" to the lynching fever in Tennessee and the moral effect of it will be felt in other States What are we coming to, anyway, when a lot of men can take two citizens from a hotel and lynoh them, because, forsooth, they were merely instrumental in se curing tbe passege of a law the lynchers did not like? They had cemmitted no crime, there was no charge against them, the victims of the mob were men of character and standing. Suppose this thing goes a trifle further. Bill Smith incurs the enmity of Tom Jones why shouldn't Jone gather a few friends, hunt up Smith and hang, or shoot him to death, at his pleasure. This is no fanciful statement, it is no extreme view and it is just such a condition as we may expect unless this mob spirit is crushed out good and strong. There is nothing needed in our land today more than i proper regard for the sacredness o human life, and the man who assists at a lynching, or even tac ibly endorses one, is a murderer in a moral sense. Get the right sort of public sentiment to work iu communities. lusted of sym pathizing with and shielding the members of a lynching party, le good citizeus everywhere aid in turning over such people to the mercies of tbe law, and let no feeling of madulin sentiment pre vent a jury from doing its duty when the cases come to trial Men of standing and iu flu nee in most communities where lyuch- ings occur could furnish evidence which might convict in these cases. But from business, politi cal or other motives, they remain silent and the scaffold or peniten tiaty is cheated out of its just due. Let us get out ol this. .Let us remember that we must have either a condition of law or of anarchy. Let us stand as good citizens for the observance and tue eniorcement or the law, no matter whether we like or dislike the law in question. Above all things let us remember, and may tne trutn sinx d;ep into our minds, "Thou shalt do no mur der," comes to us today with the same power, force and authority back of it, as it had when it was delivered to Moses amid the thunders of Mount Sinai. GOLD HILL. In point of elevation, Gold Hill appears rather to be above the thermal belt. The fruits and vegetables in the early spring and late fall usually escaped the blighting frosts, while almost al together they are destroyed in the surrounding country. We gener ally have them here, when other people do not. This year we have had an excellent variety and pret ty large quantity. Even at this late date, the tender corn and snap beans with tomatoes have hardly ceased to make a dish upon the tables of some people. The au tumn and fall season has been a delightful one. A little dry at times, and then a super-abundance of rain. The water fail near two months ago was extremely exces sive, and the high water mark was a record breaker, but on last Fri day and Friday night tbe rain fall appeared to be heavier than at any time during the year, and while but few people knew it. the streams were higher, Borne say, by two feet than at any other time, "WHAT (7 o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 pect for such pretty suits.

Belk- 0 The season upon the whole has been quite favorably to gathering and seeding, Much wheat and oats have been sown, and a larger part of the crops gathered. The tld time "corn shuckiugs" are now on. This year, upon the whole, has been quite successful and properous by the farming class of people. They have mostly made bountiful, crops, which are commanding good prices. But not so in and about tbe town of Gold Hill. The business, interests have collapsed, or suspended, , it seems indefinitely. There is not a mine in operation here now, and a large per cent, of the former em ployes have gone elsewhere in search of work. This is a year of politics, not of f'UBiness or religion. Recently t wo protracted meetings were held in the town, one in the Baptist' church, the other in the Metho dist, but little interest was mani fested iu either. But many of our people are free and glib to dis cuss politics and talk of men and measures. We have had much public speakings within this and the past month. United States Senator Overman, ; Congressman Hacket and State Senator from Rowan Whitrhiad Kluttz have all honored us w th their pres ence and speeches AM of them niade good speeches. If I were to discriminate, I would say that Senator Kluttz made the best po litical speech I have heard this year, rie is a brignt young man, has the rare gift of the popular speaker, is fluent, of pleasing , ad dress and graceful manner, and clothes his thoughts with the best and purest English. His speech was dignified, clear cut and con? vincing, interspersed with .humor? ous story and apt illustrations, His "friends, the enemy," being judge, it was a good speech with out offense to any of them. , The Republicans had a brass band rally on last Saturday after noon.

There was a right good gathering of them to hear Postmaster Reynolds, of Winston-Salem, and Hon. J. M. 'Proctor, a local politician and speaker of Gold Hill. From what I have heard the Postmaster did not help his cause very much if any. The latter made the better speech. It is pretty much over now and our people are waiting to see what they shall see on the 3rd of No vember. While the Democrats are expecting to be defeated here, they are anticipating "a land slide" for them in the State and nation, and are banking on Bryan for president.
