v. The Randolph Bulletin. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR U. S. HAYES, - Editor E. A. WOODDELL, Publisher Entered as second-class matter June 2nd, 1905, at the post office at Ashe boro, N. C, under the act of Congress of March 3rd 1879. Advertising rates on application. Any one who is a student of politics and has watched the i t t i cnanges wnicn nave Deen going on within the last few years can readily see that the democratic party is gradually losing ground and that counties and states which a few years ago were surely democratic are now doubt ful, and those that were consid ered doubtful then are now safely republican. All the states bor dering on Mason and Dixon's line are republican or have chang ed so materially that they may be classed as doubtful. The law of political change is as immuta ble as the law of evolution it may be slow but sure. In the last campaign all the doubtful states were swept into the repub lican column and the "solid South" was broken. Who can tell what the next campaign will reveal ? Young men of the South who have hesitated heretofore to affiliate with the republican pary lest they would be on the unpop ular side, need not hesitate any longer. The republican party will be the dominant party in many Southern states within the next ten years. Our public schools should be the pride of every tax payer in the county from the fact that the future citizens, men and women, of the county are to be trained in these schools. The board of education should realize the great responsibility resting upon them in selecting teachers to train the youths of the county. Only men and women of the highest moral character, and whose daily walks are above reproach should be employed. The child studies the teacher as much as it does its books; therefore the teacher should be a model of human per fection. Do teachers realize their responsibility? Do parents real ize their responsibility in giving their children the best education possible? The work of tlje coming session oi Congress proh'ably iU be wo great to admit of any extensive investigation into the question of tariff revision. There are several subjects in which the President is deeply interested, and tariff revision is one of them. The Panama Canal and railroad rate revision are two others, and there probably will be a good deal to do in the Philippines as a result of Secretary Taft's trip there. Just what will have to be done to meet the Treasury deficit is not yet clear. Possibly the in ternal revenue taxes may be in creased. However, as much as the President would like to over haul the tariff schedules, it is likely that this will be deferred till some time during the regular session. The center of the world's stage has shifted from Manchuria and the China Sea to Portsmouth New Hamshire. The curtain is rising on a drama which is yet unwrit ten but when it is recorded will seal the destinies of nations. The principal actors of this great drama are the representatives of Russia and Japan who have met to try to agree on terms of peace, and the audience is the civilized world. It will be weeks or even months before the curtain falls, but when it does it is to be hoped that a long step will have been taken toward the permanen peace of the world. A Good Town. The man with the striped necktie had said that he was once a resident of Hartford, and the other casually observed: '.I've heard that it was a good town to do business in?" "Well, you can set that state ment down as a fraud. I was in the clothing business there for five years." "Well?" "Then I failed. I thought I could pay about 40 cents on the dollar, but my creditors discover ed that I had assets enough to pay $1.12, and I'll be hanged if they did't make me do it!" The yellow fever record in New Orleans up to 6 p. m. Tues day showed total cases to date 565; total deaths 113 a fatality of20 per cent. Wise is the man who knows when to cut a long story short. THE AGRICULTURAL SCIENTIST. C Arthur Williams in 'Success Magazine." When the average farmer of a few years ago was asked to ex press an opinion concerning the application of scientific know ledge to the raising of crops, he ordinarily waxed scornful at the expense of agricultural scientist, whom he held to be of no more account than the proverbial ci pher with the rim removed. Especially was he intolerant of the entomologist, to whom he usually referred as "bugologist" and whom he regarded as beings to be classed with the milder form of lunatics harmless, per haps, but certainly of no practical use. He and his brethren, he would have told you, had you asked his reasons for such a hostile attitude toward the ex perts, were tired of being bother ed by persons anxions to tell them how to attend to their own affairs. "All we ask" he would probably have said, in effect, "is to be let alone. Workers in other lines are not overloaded with gratuitous advise, as we are, and we don't like it, for feel that we are as capable minding our own business we of as anybody else. Let us go our own way, and we will be content to have our would-be mentors go theirs." This was the position generally assumed, even by the more ad vanced among the tillers of the soil, and, in view of the vast amount of suggestion and counsel furnished by the press and the j public generally the ideas ad vanced having been in many cases, worse than worthless it is not suprising that a feeling al most akin to resentment grew up among the farmers, and that they viewed with suspicion all attempts to induce them to de viate from the practices and methods that had been theirs for years, and their fathers' be fore them. A material change, for which the United States Department of Agriculture is largely responsi ble, has been brought about in the last few years. With each succeeding season there has been an increasing number of evi dences that the department is not only desirous of helping far mers, but also that it is compe tent to do so. Gradually the men who raise the big crops have learned to have more respect for the agricultural scientist at Washington, especially forthose iSTy have -told them m ircon trM the insect pests that menace their products and cause large losses annually, and how to grow things of which they have here tofore known little or nothing. These scientists, as farmers are beginning to realize., are not mere dreamers, fortified only with superficial and theoretical information gained from books, but level headed, result-achieving persons whose knowledge is practical and who know how to devote it to good purposes. Editor Caddell's Pupil. Editor Caddell, of the Salis bury Sun, was a school teacher in early life and he taught his first school in Duplin county in 1872. One pupil was a boy named Dan Teachy, an only son. His mother, says Mr. Caadell, was a good Christian woman, but the boy was allowed his own way at home and he expected to have it at school. In consequence there were serious differences between pupil and teacher and one day the teacher gave the boy a severe whipping. Next morning the mother called at the school and told the teacher what she thought of him, and stopped the boy from school. Last Thursday that boy was hanged for murder in Duplin county. Not all child ren who grow up unrestrained at home go to the bad, and not all children well trained are good, but the child uncontrolled at home will naturally object to being controlled elsewhere. If he is allowed to disregard home government he will naturally disregard the laws of the state. There's a lesson in the Teachy incident. It is very probable that the fond mother's mistaken idea of allowing that boy to have his own way in childhood had much to do with bringing him to the gallows. Statesville Land mark. The big protracted meeting at Abbotts's creek, which attracts such large crowds, begun last Sunday and being condncted by Rev. Geo. P. Harill, of this place. These annual meetings are con ducted on the scale of the old fashioned camp meetings, where people for miles around go and camp, spending usually as many as ten days. Thomasville Times. SPEECH DELIVERED AT LAYING OF CORNERSTONE OF ELKIN METH ODIST CHURCH JULY 25th, 1 905, BY REV. W. L. SHER RILL. My dear friends: It was just ten years ago the other day since we met down yonder at the foot of this hill to lay the corner stone of the old church, and well do I remember that day and' that company, but many of those who were then present are now scattered far and wide and some of them have gone to their long rest and to their eternal reward, so that I am filled with sadness when I recall the faces of many friends who were with us there in health and strength but who are absent now. Many others who were there then are here to-day and I am glad to be with you all again and to take part with you in the lay ing of the corner stone of this new church now begun, and which is to be a handsome and commodious building and on this elevated spot so beautiful for situation. I ain thankful for it and proud of it and pray that the work so auspiciously begun may go forward without interruption and that this church may be a great light for this community and be the blessing to you all that God wills it should be. You know that God's greatest work is to build a temple and that the temple of Solomon silently reared without sound of hammer or trowel was but typical of a larger j. j. t. i- -ir 1- -11 lernpie to ue maue oi living stones. A temple not made with hands but to be eternal in the heavens, and Jesus Christ is the chief corner stone rests upon the truth that Jesus Christ is the son of the living God, and be cause of faith in Him every be liever becomes a Son of God. The sonship of Cnnst, our bav- lour, is the cardinal truth of the Gospel and because of it, every one who believes unto Salvation is a child of God and an heir with Christ of all that inheritance which is reserved for His chil dren, and the consciousness of this truth is the power of God which satisfies our spiritual hun ger and brings to us eternal life. And with this life abiding in us we love God. we keep His law, we endure affliction; we submit patiently to His will, we fight a good fight and then when the process of salvation is completed we are to be placed as living stones, in that spiritual temple which shall never crumble or de cay. To render such service and to aid in the making of such char acter is our purpose to-day as we lay the corner stone of a building to be dedicated to the service of God; the place where saints are to be edified and sinners convert ed. The history of the church in Elkin has been to me a most delightful study. We have gain ed inspiration and encouragement as we have meditated upon the faithful and consecrated service ot the .e-odlv men and women who for two or three generations behind us were the strength and character of the Elkin church. Their lives were not lived in vain, and they left behind them an in fluence, fragrant and sweet, which still abides. The congre gation here began with a little log church sixty years ago and built again and again till now we have begun on this beautiful ele vation the building which will meet all the requirements for many years to come. So that I thank the Lord for this good day for this hour so full of hope and promise; the be ginning, let us devoutly pray, of a new era in the progress of our beloved Church in Elkin. I thank God to-day for what He has done for us and for what He has permitted us to do for Him in the world. To-day as we glance back over the past and re call the wondrous deeds and he roic faith of the saintly men and women who laid the broad and firm foundations of our church, we are filled with admiration and amazement and thankfulness. There are no pages in the his tory of mankind more sacred than those which register the strug gles the hardships and the tri umphs of the early Methodists and when we remember their small beginnings and see to-day the mighty influence for good they exert in the world we should feel sincerely and de voutly thankful to the Lord. The great Church which to-day honors us with membership in its fold has thus far waged a good fight. As we have been true to the faith once delivered to the saints God has enabled us to triumph over all opposition. The time was even in the mem ory of men now living when it was unpopular to be a Methodist. The world was opposed to its teachings because it made no compromise with sin, but de manded rather the highest standard of holy living, and in proportion as its membership have succeeded in living up to its requirements, God has honored them with health and wealth and wisdom and influence until now we are indeed popular since 25 millions of the people of the earth to-day are followers of the Wesleys, and the sun shines perpetually on the Methodist Church. We thank God too, that Method ism has not added to her roll by making proselytes from our sis ter churches, but on the con trary nearly all her members have been converted at her own altars and over and above all this we have been steadily furnishing new recruits and through them new life to every other church in Christendom, yet we keep in the front of the procession ourselves. What gave Methodism such wnnrlprfnl nower? It was not wealth, for we start ed poor. It was not worldly influence for we had none. It was not that we preached a dead law for we have always urged. deep and genuine repen tance toward God, faith in Christ and a complete consecration of the life to Him. Methodism has been honored of God because she revived and urged with a power born of strongest faith the great doc trines of individual responsibility, an unlimited atonement, as surance of salvation, holiness of heart and the danger of apostacy. Our interpretation of God's word on these great truths a genera tion ago so differentiated us from our sister churches, that today we claim them yet as the distinctive doctrines of Methodism. The early Methodist preachers with this faith ablaze in their very souls and with experiences as vivid and wonderful as those of Stephen or Paul, went forth to tell it to others, to the humble and the poor. There was a moral grandour about their lives which carried conviction to those who heard them preach, and then those whom they commissioned to tell again the story were so com pletely filled with holy zeal and charged with the truth as it is in Jesus that they climbed over the mountains, swam across the rivers, marched through the wilderness, fearing no danger, going on in the spirit of the Master seeking to save the lost. They planted the chapel by the side of the cabin of the pioneer and thus laid the foundation of the church in the Western World. Some of those faithful men found the way to the homes of our father's, who heard and believed and were saved, and, through them, has the truth been handed down to us. What ever I am to-day or may be, in the future, I owe, and will owe, to those men who through God wrought so well in their day. What wonderful things has God done through the people called Methodists ! One hundred and sixty years ago we started out like Jacob with only a staff. Now indeed are we two bands. Then a little company of five consecrated men. Now as strong every way as any other Protestant Church. But let us not boast rather let us thank God and take cour age. Let us be true to the faith of our fathers. Let us be hum ble and spiritual minded as they were, that we may have power as they had power to do good. Let us not as we may move into larger and more elegant quarters forget that our power and in fluence rests not on brick and morter, or legal worship, or large membership, but rather in con secrated discipleship- in loyal service to the Master. I believe that now as we are met here to lay this corner stane, the e-lorified spirits'yff manv. who on these very'hills jvere bor;; in- t to the Kingdom of (od are ihing lmg with us m this sacred ser vice. Let us so work in our day that when we are called hence we may join them in the City of Cod. Let us hand down pure !and undefiled religion to our children as our Fathers handed it down to us. Then in the latter part of the 20th century when perhaps tjhese records may be read again, gen erations yet unborn may say of us that we wrought well in our day. Chief of police Heitma and his assistants made a whdesale arrest here late Saturday ! even ing by arresting 7 negroes for "shootin' craps." Theyi were caught at Bob Russell's barn near the railroad station. Those arrested were: Geo. Wiliams, Garfield Anderson, Jap. Sllivan, Bob Hayes, Earl Green and Buck Hargrave. State's evidence was turned by Green and Ha-grave and they were set free. The other four were put under $5.00 bonds each until next tirm of court. North State. The recently enacted "Jim Crow" car law of Florida pro vides thst colored msrses in charge of white children, or with sick white adults may ride in the white section of the car. Judge Call, of the State Circuit Court, has ruled that this section is un constitutional in that it is special and discriminating legislation. The matter has been taken to the Supaeme Court, and it is said if the lower court is sustain ed the whole act will be rendered inoperative, This is interesting, for the reason that the North Carolina separate car law con tains practically the f same pro Tisions. No effort, however, has been made to overthrow the statute on that or any other aceount. Homeless Poor of London. A recent census of the home less poor of London, taken at night, showed that 1,969 men and 312 women Vvere in the streets or on staircases. In the common lodging houses and shel ters that night there were 23, 690 persons, of whom 21,254 were single men, 1,688 single women, 357 married couples and 34 childern under 10 years of age. DATES MADE FAMOUS BY PAUL JONES. 1747 Born July 6th at land, Scotland, and after his father, John Arbig named Paul, a gardner. 1759 Apprenticed at Whitehaven to a Scotch merchant engaged in the American trade. 1773 Determined to seek his fortune in America, sailed for Virginia; engaged in the slave trade, which he soon quitted in disgust. 1775 December 22nd, enlisted in the American navy, assuming the name of Jones. 1777 In command of a small fleet, he harassed the. coast of Scotland and attacked the port of Whitehaven. 1778 Went to Paris and took command of the Bon Homme Richard. 1779 Sailed around Scotland and Ireland taking prizes; boldly took practical possession of the English channel. 1779 September 23d, fought his world famous battle with the British ship Serapis, which he captured. 1781 Received a letter of thanks from Washington and a gold medal from Congress. 1782 Entered the Russian navy (there being peace at home) with tv e rank of rear admiral. 1783 being refused command of the Black Sea fleet, he resign ed from the Russian service. 1790 Returned to Paris, where he lived in poverty, lacking his promised Russian pension and prize money due him from the United States. 1792 July 18th, died in Paris and buried in an obscure ceme tery. 1905 April 14th, Paul Jones body found. 1905 July 5th, body transferred by the French government at Paris with imposing ceremon ies. 1905 July 8th, fleet bearing re mains sailed from Cherbourg. 1905 July 22d, fleet entered the Chesapeake at 7:20 a. m. Dead Easy. The othe evening a man of the burglar type stepped up to an old gentleman and, handing him a piece of paper, said: "Sir, would you be good en ough to read me the writing on this piece of paper?" "The individual addressed consented, and, moving toward the rays of a. convenient gas lamp, read the following words: ' 'If you ;-atcer a jcry or speak a single word I shall shoot you. Give me your watch and chain and your purse at once, and then pass on." Completely taken off his guard, the gentleman handed over the articles asked for and walked off. A few steps brought him to a policeman, and relating his story, the pair proceeded in pursuit of the stranger, who was not yet out of sight. Next morning, before the( magistrate, the vagrant was called upon for an explanation. "Your honor," he said, "I am not an educated man, and, therefore, can neither read nor write. Last evening I picked up a piece of paper, and, it striking me that it might be of some im portance, I took it to the first person I met and asked him to decipher it. The gentleman read it quietly to himself, and then, without saying a word, handed me his watch, chain and purse and walked off without giving me time to recover from my surprise, or to ask him what he meant. It seemed to me that the paper possessed a certain value, and that he had given me the valuables as a reward for finding it." But the magistrate gave him six months just the same. Lon don Tit-Bits. The Help. On most farms there must be some hired help. There are many points to be considered in this matter. The person who smokes in working about the outbuildings is likely to lead to their de struction by fire; the ill-tempered kind will be apt to do more dam age to the cows and horses on the place than the amount of his pay; the drone, the drag, annoys the vigorous farmer beyond all powers of patience: the immoral character corrupts the children; This matter of assistance in farming is one of the great pro blems of the business. The people best fitted for the work do not usually remain in the hired state very long. They save and soon are in a position to act for themselves. The farmer who has the right sort of help has such as surely care for the interests of the place. It is worth straining a point in pay or otherwise to retain co-operation of this description.
