Mcrehead may be a good man
but ahy did he take up with such
a dirty dog as Maryann Butler, is
a question that .decent republicans
as well as all Democrats ask.
The Democratic party iu this
state enteis the campaign with do
apologies to make except for two
or three Superior court judgeships.
But ba'd as these are and even de
plorable, the republicans are offer
ing no better.
The best sewing machine is a
good wile and we don't care wheth
e1 she has the lock-stitch, felling
and tucking patents attached to
her so that she runs easy, works
noiselessly and can make a shirt
that will not lit her husband like
a paper bag on a corkscrew.
I
A contemporary says that news
paper subscriptions are infallible
tests of a man's honesty. They
will sooner or later discover the
man. If he is dishonest he will
cheat the printer some way; say
he has a receipt somewhere, or,
sent the money and it was lost in
the mail, or ht will take the paper
and not pay for it on' the ground
he did not subscribe for it, or move
away, leaving it come to office he
left. Thousands of professed
christians are dishonest in this
particular at least, and the print
er's book will tell fearful tales in
the final judgment.
In these days of degeueracv and
hck of gillantry, every parent
insist on knowing the whereabouts
of daughters after eight o'clock
at night. Too many girls there
are who are permuted to roam
the streets at their own free will
at almost any time of night, ana
who ultimately come to some bad
end- We are cot a croakers, neith
er do we believe in taking away
the fredom, to a reasonable degree
from tre girls and boys, but we
do believe there would be fewer
headaches, fewer broken homes
and more purity and womanliness
in the world did every parent keep
the child oft the streets at un
seemingly houis.
Many an uuwise parent works
hard and lives sparingly all his
life for the purpose of giving his
children a good start in the world
as it is called. Startiog a young
man out with money left by his
relatives is like tying a bladder
under the arm cf one who cau
not swim. Ten to one he loses
the bladder and goes to the bot
torn. Teach him to svlm and he
won't need the bladder. Give
your child a good education. See
that his mora s are pure, his mind
cultivated and his whole nature
subservient to the laws that
govern man and you will give what
will be of more value than the
Indies. You have given him a
start no misfortunes can deprive
him of. The earlier you teach
him to depend upon himself the
better.
FOOD FOR hEFLECTION.
Many farrnei soaie way or oth
er get it into their heads that
town business men are I he hapi-
est people on earth; g t rich by
simply reaching out anl taking in
all money they want. The farm, r
gets to brooding over hi s h ml late,
as it seems, and thinking that any
one can ran a store because it
seems so easy to measure a yard
of cadco or weih out a pound of
coffee, sells out the farm and go s
t) town. It's no trouble to fiud a
man that is willing and anxious to
sell out ihe rtmaius of a s'ck sto k
of groceries, or. thi-r. m laats of an
empty shelved dry go jds store and
when ihe farmer hist sees his name
over the dor lie leans , back a
gainst a lamp p -t with a pencil
oyer ea-h ear an ! feels liige, and
imagines tba! his fortune is m de.
He buys a large stock of every com
mercial man that ccmes along, sells
moaiij on freoH to ii dividual who
can't buy a nickel's worth of eoods

At Last a Score of Republicans, Forced Them
selves into the Court Hon e.
The Executive Commute of
tariffs and trusts or the republi
can party to say nothing of their
mauaaer Marv Ann Butler did meet
then called a ma s meeting for
Sept. 30. Postmaster Bobbins
of Rocky Mount was here. Post
master Liles of Tarboro wa3 here,
candidate for Judge Jas. K.
Gaskill was consulted aid drawn
with the mass meeting, those with
the seventeen counted the day be
fore made some twenty who were
at the accouchment cf the
great republican party of Edge
combe. The meeting wa9 so immense, so
unwieldly .that a committee of
three had to be appointed to
specially attend the party at this
interesting periott ana tnese are
the mice that are the result of
these labors:
For Sheriff. Cicero Denton.
For Register of Deeds. B. B
Unwell
For Count Commissioners.
W G. W. Leigh, Frank Denton,
L. H. Edmonson, J. D. Fly and 0
C. Wallace.
For Senator W. L. Stallings.
For Member House of Repre
sentatives. M. L Pittman and
W. A. Thigpen.
While the committee were out
delivering the party, Andrew
Jackson Wiiiiams, the orator of
the party, made a talk. He praised
everv officer of the county all of
whom are Democrats, and candi
dates for re election and made
only one kick and that was that
was that his township bad not
received, the fsUO which it was
entitled for schools according to
a letter from Prof. R. M. Davis,
when i he was county Superin
teudent of Schools. As Mr
Gaskill who was their Chairman
of the Board of Edncation did not
inform him the Southerner can
only suggest that he look at the
Tnaure.'o b)oks and also at the
school appointment.
lae meeting was late .aul can
didate for Senator, Stallings in
trying to put the accent on the a
the mass "meeting called, pro
nounced it mess meetiDg.
lheaccuracv of this accentua-
tiou will rot be disputed.
A Clearcut Explanation of Why

Washington, Oct. 1. -When the
