Much RiMUon
But Planty of Rhyme
If Christofer Columbus were
here today he would hang his head
in shame at the sorry spectacle
which would confront his illustrious
and auspicious vision. If he could
see the aristercrats once more in
office, if he could see the abuses
and the deviltry of which North
Carolina is now both rampant and
pregnant, he would disown it: he
would regret with all his buoyancy
ever having spoke of freedom to
the good people of Plymouth Rock
about liberty, would cover his head
with sackcloth and ashes Uke Job
of old and retire to his grave in
much of a disgust and a high
dungfeon.
Two Outstanding Foreigners
Lord Byron and the Pope of
Rome was both furriners. Christo
fer Columbus and Abraham Lincoln
was our two greatest native bom
citizens, and as I said before. Ab
raham Lincoln was the greatest.
He was born at an early age of
humble parents out in Kentucky
where our former illstrious citizen,
Daniel Boon once lived. He was
not a aristercrat, but just a poor,
common boy like the rest of us.
He had no education; he never
went to school, but by hard work
and intrepidity prepared hisself
for the president’s office to which
he was elected over three other
sets of conspirators and he made
the greatest of all not excepting
General George H. Washington.
When Lincoln was elected presi
dent it made all the Dimmicrats
mad and they brought on the war
thar~aTpiymouth R^k and preach-‘ ended just a few years ago.
«d freedom and equality to the be-1 Abraham- Lincoln won that war
nighted citizens of them parts. 1

^ State, a publication edited
by Chyl Goerch. Here is the article
with Introduction by Mr. Ooerch:
Sometiine ago we learned about
« famous speech made in Recon
struction days by “Windy Billy”
Henderson, who upparently was
P»ite a character in his day and
tisae. Knowmg that Pete Murphy
keeps up with everything of this
nature, we wrote him last week and
,-4, liujuired if he could get us a copy
,of Hie document. Here is Pete’s
* Dear Carl—I am sending you a
copy of the speech. It is a gem of
purest ray serene; one which
brought fame to its author. There
D*ver has been one similar to it
Isiaee the days of Appollus. I feel
sure that you will be asked for
many reprints of it. for its fame
bat spread all over North Carolina.
The speech was delivered in Salis
bury. July 4, 1876. Poor old ‘Win
dy Bill’ was one of the most uni
que chaps ever. He never got any
thing straight but loved to speak
Bd in his own opinion was a
greater orator than Cicero or De
mosthenes.”
After reading Billy’s speech, we
are inclined to agree with Pete,
and we believe you will, too. Any
way, here it is:
Christofer Coltnubus
We have great occasion to con
gratulate ourselves on this, the
ever recurring anniversary of

tiny. I am no prophet, but. at the
last great day. at which time all
the patriots and patriarchs will
march forward and plant the star
spangled banner on the ramparts
of Zion and all the world will fall
Gineral Grant heard of it and
sent me word he wanted to meet
a patriot from the land of the
rebles. I put on my silk hat and
went to the White House where
he were a livin’. He seed me a
cornin’ up the walk and come to
the door to meet me and when
I opened the door he grabbed me
by the hand, handed me a seegar
and said. “Come in, I am glad to
see you.’’
I had no morn sec uown until
a nigger with a blue suit on and
brass buttons handed me a mint
julep, the Gineral a sayiii’, "I
hopes it will refresh you.’’
We had a pleasant visit and he
shovved his confidence in me by
offering to appint me envoy pen
itentiary and ambassador extra-
ditionaly over to Berlin on the
Dead Sea by the river Rhine, and
when 1 declined, says he, “If you
can’t go there please accept the
some office down there at Rio
Jaiiierio,” which is in some fur-
riiT part and has a big salary.
I told him on account of the
absen."e of educational faculties
thar, I would have to decline and
whereupon he appiiUed me Depu
ty Internal Revenue Collector for
the western district of North Car
olina, in which I now reside and
hold offise.
I>et me ask you, would any
Dimraicrat a done like Gineral
Grant?
No sir! And that’s why 1 be
long to the Republican party, the
only party what rewards the pa
triots and depreciates their serv
ices.
.An Honorific Future
My fellow countrymen, we has
a great country, we has had a
glorious and portentious past and
We can have a honorific future if
we stick to the right party. And
unless we do the future is ablaze
with the fulminations of felon
ious Kpocrater which spreads lbs,
slimy proportioM alaag-tbi dls-j
^liitsd ..vort«;bre x)ia^ta(f^m of
grflhi magpltttdp which it at once
'alaraing dnd gVeat magnitude.
If liberty Is .to b« preserved In
its pristine embeUlshmenta, it
honor is to be maintained as our
quid pro quo, aa Gtissar says, it
the ship of state is to sail on the
untrammelled waters of the salty
seas, it our future is to be most
auspicious and refulgent, If men
are to cease beTng slaves and
boundmen. If cotizens of Integrity
and puchrltude are to fill our of
fices, if peace and happiness is to
remain with us Indefinitely and
indubitably, If our beautiful and
wonderous womanhood is to re
main unsullied and inordinately
attractive iu Its purity and vir
tue, if our children are to have
a chance to augment and prepare
themselves for the serious and
conflicting duties of advanced
life. If the stars and stripe:) are
to remain afloat in the azure ex
panse of a comprehensive and in
clusive heaven, then my fellow
countrj-men we has but one thing
to do and that is on election day
to march' in solid falanxes up to
the ballot box and vote the
straight Republican ticket and
then all will be safe; prosperity
will be vindicated, and our glor
ious country will remain as she
always has been the fount-of lib
erty, the home of unalloyed civi
lization, the wonder of the world,
and the delight of humanity—a
haven of rest and the ubiquitous
land of contentment and the en
vy of all the rest of the world,
both civilized and uncivilized,
both furrin' and Ixlle, Christian
and heathen, Presbyterian and
Episcopalian, white and black,
and in the words of Oliver Crom
well when he was led to the gal
lows for killin’ Watt Tyler on
London Bridge, “The Star Span
gled Banner, long may it wave;
give me liberty or give me
death.”
Cp.setting Tyranny
We is now livin’ under tyrrany
and it must be upset or we is
doomed. If our glorious and lugu
brious destiny is to be fulfilled,
some pa:'iot must arise like that
great Republican Patrick Henry
to put down sedition and con
spiracy, if the Dimmicrats carry
this cornin’ election, the war had
just as well not been won, for
then the aristocrats will be in
power iu the nation just as there
is ill the state. To your tents oh,
Israel, the enemy is knockin’ at
the door: if he gets in, all is
lost: if we keep him shut out
then we may look to the future
with Indulgent complacensy and
conspicuous pbllity. In conclusion
let me say this country of ours
will endure if we is successful un
til the time when old Rory Bore
alis herself drops into the chasm
of eternity and now finally and
ultimately let me say in the
words of Saint Paul, when he
heard of the death of Julius
Caesar, “Sick seiiter Tyrannibus.”

A Friendly Message
To
World War Veterans
When we receive something of value, we
wish to share it with those we love in a way
that will give them the most pleasure. Some
thing, however, that will be of lasting benefit
and something to show for in years to come.
In this connection, don’t we think first and
instinctively of our HOME—^the place where we
spend so many hours together? Because the
HOME is the very foundation of our Nation,
should we not give more thought and Considera
tion to the influence the surroundings have on
our children? The more attractive we make
the home, the more favorable the influence on
the children for life.
Of course you and your family have made
many plans for the use of the money you are
soon to receive from the government for your
services, and we are sure you have considered
the needs of your home and*thought of many
things which would mak& it more comfortable
and attractive.
We cordially invite yoa to come in and let
us show you through our stock. .We have a,
very complete line and, we believe, .sometlnn?
to meet the needs of .tlveiy one, bpth in quality
and price. ^
It is always a pleasure to have you come in
whether you buy or not. _ ’ : i

anxious’’ to seek re-election—be
cause of questions involved in the
coming campaign.
The veteran statesman express
ed himself, the paper said, in a
letter to R. P. Parry, Idaho Re
publican State chairman. Parry
could not be reached immediate
ly.
The letter, as made public by
the Tribune, said Borah was
writing to make plain his position
in case Idaho Republicans should
wish “to agree upon another can
didate In view of Borah’s stand
on the Republican monetary
plank.”
Borah, since he left the Cleve
land convention after hammering
pet planks into the platform, had
wit,iheld definite announcement
of 'vhether he would again seek
the Senate seat he has held 30
years.
