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. Former governor Chas, B, Aycock has been making speech es in Maryland in behalf of the proposed disf ranchisment amend ment which is to be voted on in that state in November. If the colored people are disfranchised in a few more states, what excuse will the people have for voting the democratic ticket?. Russia is again in the throes of revolution. In making peace with Japan the Czar only jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. Before he makes peace at home, he may lose his crown, his throne or his head, or all three. Unless M. Witte is states man enouarh to briner about a peaceful settlement, the French revolution will be repeated in Russia. Now is the time when the bus iness men of Asheboro should meet and elect a Board of Trade, There are manufacturing inter ests which could be brought here if there was a concerted move ment made to bring them. Peo ple who are looking for suitable locations are not likely to drop down on a town which is appear- antly asleep to its own interests, It would pay the town to give free factory sites and advertise it. The permanent prosperity of any town depends upon the amount of labor employed, and we need not expect Asheboro to rise much higher in the scale of prosperity until we have more factories. The advance in real estate will be only a bubble un less we have industries to back it up. Let the business men get together quickly, act promptly, and go out after some of the in dustries which are being landed by other towns less favored by nature than Asheboro. The school term and the school life of the average pupil is too short to waste in nonessentials. Nothing should be taught except that which is practical. The fundamental principles of arith metic should be taught and the practical application of same to the business affairs of life. Many pupils get a smattering of arith metic, and when called upon to make a simple calculation in inter est or some other practical applic ation of the principles of arith metic, they fail, why? simply be cause of a lack of thorough and practical training in school. The study of the English lan guage should be given a promi nent place in a common school education. Pupils in the common schools and high schools should be able to compose good English sentences, before they attempt to learn the dead languages. There are many students now puzzling their brains trying to read Cicero, Caesar and Homer, who cannot read Webster, Clay or Calhoun intelligently and if these same would be Latin schol ars were called upon to compose a few English sentences, they could not get their words togeth er so as to express thought. Let the teachers pay more attention to the training of pupils in those things which will be of most benefit to them when they become apart of the great citizen ship of this great country. Inevitable Revolution. In Russia the supporters, which means the beneficiaries, of the present "government" of loot and shoot are calling for peace and submission at home on the ground that the revolutionary agitation is "bad for business". And so it is. But there comes a time in a disordered society whether the disorder proceed from caste tyranny or the oppres sions of monopoly when the only way to save business from utter destruction is doing the things that do temporarily seem to aggravate the ills thev seek to cure. That time has come to Russia; and so, some sort of rev olution is inevitable. Even at this early stage, the Czar is himself authorizing meas ures which it would have been revolutionary treason to hint at, much less propose, a year ago. Not always m cataclysms of Diooa and chaos do revolutions come about. Often, most increasingly often in this day of press ana people, the most radi cal changes are made so peace fully that Revolution hardly rec ognizes her own well-behaved, innocent-faced children. Satur day Evening Post. TOM DIXON'S DOLLAR SCHEME. It seems that The Clansman, Tom Dixon's new play is very popular in the South, and while it is a most remarkable proposi tion, the people went wild over it. It will be recalled, now that the excitement has partially died away in North Carolina, that there was no announcement of the cast of characters. No well known name was placed on the programme. It was Tom Dixon's play and it had to do with an era and a time when the South was in the saddle and that seem ed to be all sufficient. Shakes peare wrote some fine stuff in deed, it is considered by some that his tragedies are the best, but when it is announced that a Shakesperian play is to be put on the stage and a dollar or two de manded at the box office, the discriminating public wants to know who is doing the stunt. It miiat not onlv be some noted tragedian who essays the title role, but the support must be known and no horse play will be tolerated. But in The Clansman not one familiar name was given. In fact the players were ordinary cheap unknown actors who perhaps work by the week and who were all right people but no celebrities But the play appealed to the Southron. And we are not blam ing the Southron at all we are just chuckling to know that Tom Dixon revealed his true self- stepped down from the pulpit and stepped on the stage because he saw a chance to make some dollars. Just what he has done with his title of "reverned" while the tour is on we are not advised, but if the box office re ceipts looked more alluring to him, if he thought it was a greater work to scrape in the dollars of the people than it was to save souls or try to save them all right, but it does us good to see a man unmasked and have no reasonable excuse for it, ex cept gold. It was refreshing to see the erstwhileRev.Tom appear ing on the stage thanking the Southern peoble for the dollars they dropped into his contribu tion box: it was equally as re freshing to see him interviewing himself in column and half column stories working the advertis ing end for all that he was worth, and we hope that he will make the million which he seems to be after. Every true Southerner applau ded the play to the echo. It touched a responsive chord. It recalled the bitter memories of the past and in a measure it vin dicated the ku klux klan and its terrible atrocities. Those are the things, however, that belong to another age. If Dixon wants to coin it into money he has that right but when he says it is an attempt to cement the North and South, he will be challenged. And when he dropped his minist erial robes and put on the cap and bells and started out barn-storming the country with a crowd of actors unknown to fame, and rolling in the gold because he again fired the passions of the South well, if he was a servant of God he may sometime be call ed upon to explain why he left Him and took up with what many ministers call the devil's instru ment. The play house is not recognized by the church but the box office seemed to appeal to the Rev. Tom and if the golden flow comes faster through that channel than it does through the contribution box of a church why, it seems that Rev. Tom knows what he is here for! Al Fairbrother's Everything. Backache is never known to those persons who take an occas onal dose of Pineules. The value of the resin obtained from the Pine tree has long been recognized in the treatment of diseases of the blad der and kidney. One dose of Pine ules will give relief, and one bot tle will cure. Sold by Asheboro Drug Co. Ted's Beginning. The new assistant rector was trying to impress upon the mind of his young son the difference between his own position and that of his superior. "Now, Ted," he ended, "I want you to remember to be very polite to the rector. We are strangers, and I am only the assistant; it becomes us to be extremely cour teous. Someday, perhaps, 1 shall be rector myself." The next day the boy was walk ing with his father when they met the dignified rector. "Hello!" promptly began Ted, "Pop's beentellin' me 'bout you how you're the real thing, an' h'R iust the hired man an' we o-ot to knuckle under. But some o day he may be It himself, an then vou'll see!" Woman's Home Companion for November, EXAMPLES OF DEMOCRATIC EX- TRAVAGANGE. The people of North Carolina have not forgotten cries that were heard from the Democratic press during fusion rule about extrava gance in county and State govern ments and declared the Repub. licans and Populists to be unsafe on account of such extravagance. Of course the uninitiated expect ed retrenchment and reform all along the line when the Demo crats came back into power, but we propose to show from time to time how badly they were decei ved by that party. This week we will see how much economy (?) they have used m county government. We select a few counties from each section of the State which will illustrate their record in all. Our calculation below are based upon the State Auditor's reports for the year 1898, part second, the last year of fusion rule, and 1904, part second, the last under the present administration: Counties. 1904 Increase over 1898 Burke, $14,862.30 $4,183.09 Chatham, 16,748.97 3,958.75 Craven, 14,847.26 4,362.39 Currituck, 7,131.40 3,064.10 Durham, 33,826.68 2,132.86 Gaston, 19,581.29 8,653.49 Halifax, 20,835.37 7,652.99 The above figures do not include school, road or special taxes of any kind only county expenses. While the population in above counties only increased about 8 to 10 per cent, the county ex penses as will be seen from the above have increased 36 per cent, in the six years. Then who has been extrava gant? Will the calamity howlers during fusion rule please explain? Shelby Aurora. , THE OLD TIME WAY. Our Grandmothers gave us pow ders and teas because they knew nothing of modern medicine and methods. In this age of progress and discovery, nicely coated, com pressed tablets are fast superced ing the old time powders and teas. Rydale's Liver tablets are compressed chocolate coated tab lets, easy to swallow, pleasant in effect, always reliable. They contain ingredients that cannot be used in powder or teas. In gredients that have an effect up on the liver that is never obtain ed from the so called liver pow ders etc. A trial will prove their merits. Asheboro Drug Co. Several residences in town have recently been arranged to be lighted by electricity. Mr. Chandler, the electrician, spent the greater part of last week put ting in lights and making con nections. Mr. Whit Kearns, a young man of Randolph county, who has spent considerable time in Troy, died of consumption in Mexico a few days ago, where he had gone hoping to regain his health. He was well known in Troy, and had many friends here, who were grieved to learn of his death. Pinesalve acts like a poultice. Best thing in the world for boils, burns, cracked hands, tetter, etc. Sold by Asheboro Drug Co. A dog at the home of Mr. D. F. Morgan created some excite ment in town Friday morning by exhibiting symptoms of hydrop hobia. As soon as its peculiar actions were observed it was promptly killed, but another little black dog, which had recently come there, has gone away and it is probable that this dog was bitten. It is well to be on the lookout and run no risks. It is a horrible death that results from hydrophobia. Troy Montgom rian. A COLD, A COUGH CON SUMPTION. A brief told history, but true, Rydale's Cough Elixir will pre vent this happening to you. It will check the progress of a cold at once, prevents the cough becoming deep seated, and thus ward off consumption. This modern scientific remedy kills the germs that cause throat and lung diseases, and by its stimulat ing and tonic effect upon the respiratory organs helps nature speedily restore these organs to robust health. Asheboro Drug Co. The W. N. C. Methodist Con ference will convene in Greens boro November 8. It is expected that there will be a great many changes this year, as a numder of the most prominent charges have had their pastors for four years. A TWICE TOLD TALE. We wish to repeat what we have said once before in these columsthat Eliott's Emulsified Oil Liniment is the best Liniment ever produced for use in the family and on animals. Best for rheumatism, lameness, stiff ness and soreness of joints or musles. Best for bruises, contus ions, sprains and swellings. You get a full pint for 25c and get your money back if it does not do all it is recommended to do. Asheboro Drug Co. FOR THE PRESIDENTS SAFETY It is interesting to note the precautions taken by the South ern Railway for the safety of President Roosevelt on his trip over that system. It is not a very unusual thing for a special train with a distinguished person age aboard to be " given right of way over all trains, but seldom, if ever before, has the extra and so absolutely safe precautions been taken that were exercised on the President's trip last week. Orders were issued from the headquarters of the railway com pany Tuesday that the double block system would be operated, that is, that there would be no other moving train within two stations of the President's spe cial at any time. On the same day every section master on the road received orders to place a man on each mile of trackage in his section to patrol the line just before the passing of the train with its distinguished and pre cious passengers, thus assuring the patroling of every mile of track that was gone over by the special. In addition to the above pre cautions, on the day the Presi dent's train passed over the road, the railroad authorities had every switch spiked in place and guard ed by a man with a Winchester rifle. This guard was provided with a lantern with which to sig nal the train in case of accident. Also at every railroad crossing a man was stationed, and for fif teen minutes before the Presi dent's special was expected, no train on another system was al lowed to cross the track. David son Dispatch. The President's Ideas on Railroad Rate Regulation. The old laws and old customs which were adequate and proper to meet the old conditions need radical readjustment in order to meet these new conditions. Actual experience has shown it is not possible to leave the rail roads uncontrolled. Such a lack of system is fertile in abuses of every kind, and put a premium upon un scrupulous and ruthless cunning in railroad management. Government supervision is needed quite as much in the in terest of the big shipper and of the railroad man who wants to do right as in the interest of the small shipper and consumer. Private cars, terminal tracks and the like must be brought under the control of the commission which is to exercise supervision by the government. If a rate be found unjust or unreasonable the commission shall fit a just rate which shall go into effect at once and stay in effect unless reversed by the courts. The commission should have power to examine into the books of the railroads, as bank ex aminers have the power to look into the books of banks. The commission should have the power to prescribe what books and what books only, should be kept by railroads. It is a pleasure to take Dr. Dade's Little Liver Pills and enjoy their tonic effect upon the liver. For sale by Asheboro Drug Co. A mad dog over about Cole's Store, Randolph county, bit two children Sunday morning, one of whom was Johnny Mann, the eight year old son of Mr. W. H. Mann, who received a severe bite in the mouth, tearing out several teeth. He was carried to Greensboro Monday and from there carried to some place for treatment. The name of the other child was not learned. In its course the mad dog bit several other dogs. So far as we are informed the dog supposed to have hydrophobia is still at large and when last seen was near Causey. There has been an epidemic of chills and fever in the vicinity of Marley's Mill, Randolph county this year. Almost every family in that neighborhood has been afflicted with the disease. Many families have spent the savings of years for doctor bills. It is contended by physicians that the mill pond, which has not been drained since the dam was built years ago, is the cause of the disease. With the exception of the run of the creek the pond has filled in with mud to the depth of 6 to 8 feet. Upon the advice of attending physician the water in the pond will be let out some time this winter, about the last of December or first of January. Siler City Grit.

Consistency is not the brightest jewel in the Democratic journ alistic coronal. Not many years ago the editors of that faith were attacking William McKinley be cause of alleged indecision of character. Some of them picturesquely referred to him as having"a chocolate eclare back bone " The people were solemn ly warned of the danger of plac ing in high executive office a m:v.i who would be veered hither and thither by every wind of politi cal doctrine, by every passing current of popular opinion. Now the average Democratic editor is attacking Mr. Roosevelt on directly opposite ground:?. We are told he is rash and opinion ated, that when he makes up his mind on a question of public poik-y he is too stubborn, too stiff -neck ed: that a president should be ; amenable to popular opinion; and therefore that it is unwise to elect him to the presidency because1! he has backbone! The propositions are of opposite j polarity. If Mr. McKinley lack- J ed backbone, why is the posses?-; ion of it not a good thing in Mr. j -Roosevelt? The fact, of course, is that, in both cases, there was k an effort to manufacture can-, i; paign thunder. William McKir ley was careful in making up hi judgments on public matters, b; when he did so he was absolute 1 firm in carrying them car Theodore Roosevelt listens atte. tively to the discussions, pro ar con, of proposed public poliek. makes up his mind after matu: deliberation, and then is not or whit more strenuous than his pr decessor in growing straight i'o ward.

A group of drummers ..were trading yarns on the subject es; hospitality, when one, a little Virginian with a humorous eye and a delightful drawl, took up his parable thus: "I was down in Louisiana last month travelin' 'cross country with S. J. Carey (the same beir.c; Stonewall Jackson C. at your service) when we kinder got lest in a mighty lonesome sort of road just about dark. We rode alon a right good piece after sundown, and when we saw a light ahead, I tell you it looked first-rate. We drove up to the light, find in' 'twas a house, and when I hollerd like a lost calf the man came out and we. asked him to take us in for the night. Ke looked at us mighty hard, then said: 'wall, I reckin I kin stand it if you kin., So we unhitched, went in and found 'twas only :i ' two-room shanty and just swarm- in' with children. He had r-i:-., ! from 4 to 11 years old, and as there didn't seem to be but bed, me and Stony was wonderb' what in thunder would become of us. They gave us supper, good hog and hominy, the best they had, and then the old woman put the; two youngest kids to bed. They went straight to sleep. The;: she : took those out, laid them over in the corner, put the next two to ; bed, and so on. After all the i children were asleep on the floor, j the old folks went in the other j room and told us we could go io bed if we wanted to, and, bein' powerful tired out, we did. "Well, sir, the next morning when we woke up we were lying1 over in the corner with the kids and the old man and the old wo man had the bed!" From Lippincott's. Saved by Dynamitte. Sometimes, a flaming city is saved by dynamiting a space that the fire can't cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on so long, you feel as if nothing but dynamite would cure it. Z. T. Gray, of Calhoun, Ga., writes: "My wife had a very aggravated cough, which kept her awake nights. Two physicians could not help her; so she took Dr. King's New Discovery for Consurntion, Coughs and Colds, which ease d her cough, gave her sleep, and finally cured her."
