The following great tribute to Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, who i3 one of the two or three most prominent Democratic presidential possibilities, was paid by Mr. George Harvey of New York in a speech at a banquet in Savant ah, Ga , on the night of the 17th Inst, held by the Sons cf St. Patrick: 'Great occasions find great men. Here is one who it he had lived in the days of Jefferson and Madison, would have rivaled the one as a cham pion of the pecple and would have equaled the other in comprehension and lucid expression of fundamental law.

You never seen a prouder critter then I wuz when I got that invite frum Johnnie Russell, Miss Dora Simmons an Miss Ossie Belle Lee, to attend the Diamond Hill skule commencement. Now I do wonder what thay allers calls it a "commen cement" fur . when everbody noze its a skule endin. I didn't no how to git thare didn't no a thing about whare Dia mond Hill wuz, but I larnt it wuz summers tuther side of Polkton, so I went up to that city on Tuesday. Tuck dinner that day with my frend Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Goodman, an had the plezyure of seeing Miss Lelia, She wuz off teaching skule, when I wuz up thare tuther time. Sev eril nice cottages has lately bin bilt in Polkton, but Miss Harriss will have to live to be old as Methusa lum, an take more'n won Rip Van Winkle nap before the town will ever be much size. It do 'pear to me that peepil in that place air the worst divided, of any place I ever struck, an ever time I go up thar I see big able bodied men settin around or loafing, whitlin on sticks an cussin an discussin politicks, re ligion, skule tax an bond issues. Mr. W. F. Crump's health seems to be improvin. His littel son, Walter, tuck his horse an buggy an drive me all around out in the coun try Tuesday evening. Walter is a fine boy, mitey sensible, an a good driver. I'll never forget, tho, that before he ever seen ' Becky Ann," he thought she wuz crazy! I spent Tuesday night in the hos pitable home of Rev. C. H. Martin, and I guess no won ever went thar that didn't Injoy it. Mr. Martin is writin a book, an is so enthused ove his subject that he almost forgets sich a common place thing as "eat in." Mr. Robert Flake's wife tuck me to Diamond Hill, an we went over sum of the roughest roads I ever seen. Me an her made a solem vow that we'd vote fur good roads an we didn't gkeer a continentil what methods wuz used to get em! That reminds me I hearn a fel ler say that his daddy had to use bad roads all his life, an thay wuz good enuff now fur the son. Sez I: "Young man, thare alnt but won ole time article thats good enough fur now, an, that Is 'Old time re ligion,' the only kind that is geu- ewine."v j Well, when we got to Diamond Hill, me an Mrs. Flake . seen that the "commencement" wuz to be out doors. There wuz sich a big crowd, the large skule house woodn't hold em, so plenty of seets wuz in the yard an the skule house porch wuz used fur a stage.

Monroe Journal. The body of Walter Byrum, son of Mr. E. J. Byrum, of Vancetownsbip, was found in Stewart's mill pond at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The body, which waa floating face down in about four feet of water, waa found by John Ormand and Dal MuRorie. It waa in a decayed condition. The last time the young man waa seen alive waa on the 22ad of Janua ry, when the family left him at home aa they went to church. He waa liv ing with hia father and told the fam ily that he would come on to church later. After the family had gone he locked the door and left the key in the lock. For a while the family felt no alarm about hia absence, aa he had fre quently worked away from home and came and went aa he pleased. He had been working In Charlotte till Christmas, since which time he had been at heme. Being of a melan choly and gloomy disposition, it la believed that an unusually depressed state of mind caused him to take hia own life. Fifty yarda above where the body waa found the water is about ten feet deep. It ia supposed that here he drowned hinnelf and the body floated down to the shallower water, where it waa obscured by trees and dense foliage. The body waa clad id the same clothing that he wore on the Sunday that he disap peared. Such searching aa could be waa done by the family and they watched the maila dally during the passing weeka In hopes that a letter would come telling them that the absent boy had been located in some other place. County Physician Stewart and Coroner Plyler made an ezamidation of the body and found no evidence os foul play.

By request of a number of resi dents of the northern section of the county Sheriff Deaton Is endeavoring to locate a band of so-called Uypsies vhajn.Hlwl In nnrlh T ..1 1 . i ter part of last week.

C" . I . . ouiuruay a Duncn of them vent through New Hope township trading horses, selling trinkets, telling for tunes, etc. The fortune tellers seem to have found plenty of "easy marks" who not only had their fortunes told but were relieved of portions of their fortune, so to speak. The female Gyp slss do the fortune telling stunts and in the game worked In north Iredell they required those desiring to know their fate to allow a search of thtir persons while the telling" was in process, and as a result a number of those who submitted to this "treat ment" are minus what money they naa in their pockets at the time. Af ter the departure of the Gypsies from that section it dawned upon the vic tims that they had been "robbed" and they appealed to the officers for relief. While using the telephone lines in his efforts to locate the Gypsies who were in this county, Sheriff Deaton learned that another party of the tribe is alleged to have looted a store on the road between Taylorsville and Lenoir, Friday or Saturday night. It is said that a good portion of the goods in the store were carried away Dy the band. These Gypsies, as they are called, are b menace to tne sections they visit and it Is time steps were taken to rid the State of them, although those who deal with them deserve little sympathy when they are rob bed.

Everybody is in favor of road im provements and nearly everybody is in favor of working the roads by tax ation, but they do not agree as to which is the proper method of rais ing the money for doing the work. Some claim that the right way is to issue enough bonds and borrow a sufficient amount of money to work all the roads at once, so that everybody can have good roads right awayjQthers think that the prop j p collect as much tax as the can - afford to pay and work- ,oads- with U as it is col lectedTv" , Th"e first plan sounds very fine, and it seems all right to men who only think of borrowing money and never think of paying it back. It would take a great deal of money to grade and gravel the pub lic roads of the county. We are asked to vote as a starter $300,000 of 5 per cent bonds, interest to be paid every six months. If we should vote the bonds and invest the pro ceeds in the roads and should let them run forty years as is proposed, we would have to pay $7,500 inter est every six months on the bonds. In forty years the interest would be $600,000 and we would still owe the $300,000. What prudent man would mortgage his place to borrow $1,000 if he knew that he would have to pay $3,000 before the mortgage was paid? The word mortgage means a death grip. When you give any body a mortgage on any property you give him a death grip on it till the debt, principal and interest, is paid. When you vote far the county com missioners to Issue bonds you ask them to put a mortgage or some thing worse on the property of not only you and your children but also on the property of your neighbors and their children and on the prop erty of all who may move Into the county. The taxes to pay the bonds and the interest on them is easier to collect than an ordinary mor tgage debt, for the sheriff or his deputy can without any paper seize your horse, cow, pig, bed or any personal property, advertise and sell it for taxes, or advertise and sell your land without any court proceedings and give a good ltitle to It. A tax of $22,500 a year for forty years would be the same as th simple interest on $300,000 at 5 er cent for forty years plus the priik-ipal, $300,000 which we would have" to pay under the proposed plan it Most of these are known germ diseases.

It would be far better. If we should attempt to put $300,000 worth of work on the road with our own labor at once we would have to spend a lot of the money for tools and implements and iur juexperiencea Dosses ana we would have to pay more for labor ers than our farmers can afford to pay, and thus paralyze the farming interests of the county on which all prosperity depends. If we should let the work out by contract the contractors would have to get a price sufficient to pay them, there is no way by which we can get around paying the tax till we have paid the bond holders three times as much as we borrow from them, unless they sell us the bonds back before they are due. We have in Wadesboro township spent about $65,000 dollars on the roads, not counting the interest which we have paid on the bonds which of course was not put into work on the roads, and we have worked about 40 miles of road and we have paid all the bonds but about $6,000. Wouldn't it be better to have done this work without issuing the bonds? I have been told by those in au V- T. .1 t . . . . , mum mai ii costs aoout fs.uuu a year to run the present chain gang force and that it is not likely that it will cost on an average miif $1,500 a mile to grade and gravel tne balance of the roads in the county. So you see that with the interest on the $300,000 bonds $15,- 000 a year, we could probably run two gangs like the present one and with the $22,500 we could run three We probably can get two chain gang squads. If we had to use hired la bor it would cost a great deal more iwo squads are enough for the present. If after two years the neo- ple want to pay more tax to work them for the tools and implements and for the bosses and they would uave io pay ineir laDorers more than the farmers could afford to pay. The laborers that they would import would be the irresponsible floating population of the country, who would steal your chickens. pigs, cabbage, turnips, watermelons, fruits and anything they could lay their hands on, and we would need recorder's court for every town ship. If we should pay for our road work as we go, and a crowd should get control of our affairs who would squander our taxes, or we should decide for any cause that it was best to stop working the roads by taxation, there would be a posibllity of stopping the tax. But if we issue the bonds for forty years but'and spend the money get for often e ruaus, men increase the tax and hurry up the work. People maj not object to being taxed to work the roads but most of them do ob ject to being taxed to pay interest j on bonds. On May 2nd we are to vote for or agalnat $300,000 road bond, but the tickets we will have to vote must have on them written or printed "For Road Improvements" or "Against Road Improvements". Now those who got up that act and iad it passed knew that there were men who would not vote for the bonds that are as much In favor of road improvements as those who will vote for them. Why then should they make it necessary for their fel low men to vote a ticket which mis represents their act.when a true re presentation would have been short er and easier to write or print. The " truth is we are to vote "For Bonds" or "Against Bonds". Why not then, put that on the tickets? If a man is in favor of bonds he ought not to be ashamed to vote a ticket with "For Bonds" on it, but he ought to be above making it neces sary for his fellow Democrats, who want to vote against bonds, to vote a ticket with "Against Road Improve ments" on it when they are really voting "Against Bonds" and not "Against Road Improvements" but in the interest of good roads. Most white people in the county are Democrats and all of them ought to be. True Democrats are willing for the majority to rule. That is what Democracy is. It looks very much like the getters up of this bill are making a desperate effort to have this bond issue carried by a minority vote. Why should they have this election at the very busi est time of the year for the farm ers? Why should they repuire a new registration at this busiest of all seasons, at planting time? Doubt less it is with the hope that some of the people who are opposed to bonds will fall to register and vote. We have with great trouble and expense gotten nearlyueverybody reg lstered in the county, and now it is all to be done over again at the busiest time of the year. We were told that if we would register un der the Grandfather Clause, . we would never have to register, again and it ought never to have been necessary for us to do it unless we should move to another township. But by a special act of the legisla ture we have to register again, with evident hope that at so busy a time many of us will not take time to do it, and that thus by a minority this great and unwise debt may be voted on the county. Every man in -the county ought to make the sac rifice and go and register as soon as 3e can after the books are opened and show people, who don't know it, that he appreciates his right to vote. Then on election day, if he thinks it is best for the people of this county that the bonds be issued go to the polls and vote a ticket with "For Road Improvements" on it, but if he thinks it best for the bonds not to be issued nd he wants to vote against bonds he will have to vote a ticket with "Against Road Improvements" on it. In order to carry the election for bonds a majority of those who reg ister will have to vote "For Road Improvements." After those who are opposed to bonds have registered, it will make no difference in the result, whether they vote or not. There are people in the county who remember that the payment of the $100,000 bonds and interest on them, voted to the Carolina Cen tral Railroad, was a heavy burdenv D. A. M'GREGOR.
