The Randolph Bulletin. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR I). S. HAYES, Editor, E. A. WOODDELL, Publisher. Entered as second-class matter June 2nd, 1905, at the post office at Ashe boi o, N. C, under the act of Congress of March 3rd 1879. 1907. Our resolution for this year: To make the Bulletin better, brighter and newsier than last year. W. B. Cochran, editor, and W. D. Blu business manager. of the Montgomerian have re- j tired. These gentleman have j made a good paper and their j retirment is to be regretted. Mr. j W. F. Hunsucker who assumes j charge of the Montgomerian j will no doubt, mantain the high standard established by the re- tiring management and we wish ; him much success j . Before reading the ebullitions ; in the last issue of our down i town neighbor, we were of the i opinion that '"reconstruction I days" had passed by some forty j years ago. But we are now con-; vinced that the morbid mind of j the editor of that paper or his assistant is still haunted by hal- j lucinations and dreams of an in-: vasion of carpet baggers. How-! ever, we trust that when the j holiday season is over his brain J (if he possesses such an organ) j will be clearer and his judge-! ment more sober. i . - ' I The General Assembly of North j Carolina will convene at Raleigh nexi- Wednesday. Besides elect-! ing a United States Senator, j there is much needed legislation j which that body of law makers j could do, if it would. However, j it is doubtful whether anything j will be done except to entrench j the democratic party a little ! more securely by changing the ; boundaries of certain districts or j amending the election law. Everything will be done with an j eye single to the glory and ad-, the democratic j bpencer Blackburn, ' in congress from j has written R. N. in which he owing seiiteaUuiictl claim and shall i lor to the election and corrupt agree ment was made and entered into by and between yourself, Gov ernor Glenn, of North Carolina, and the American Book Company you being at that time the attorney and representative of the said American Book Com pany, by wnicn compact it ,vas i agreea mat (jovernor uienn was vancement of . 1 1 to recommend to the State board j every day lif e of the peopje over the adoption for the schools of !here and especially in regard to North Carolina of the books of the way an American gets along the American Book Company, j among peopIe of whose ianguage m return for which service you!he is jgn0rant.

In an lettera of travel and shall prove that, in con-1 rrfermc.e. to thp writer is nps. formity with the terms of that agreement, Governor Glenn did recommend to the State board and force the adoption of the school books of the said Ameri can Book Company, and this, in spite of the fact that a large majority of the teachers of North Carolina had repeatedly protested against the use of the books of the said company. And further, in carrying out the terms of this corrupt agreement, Gover nor Glenn was to and did throw the weight and influence of his office and patronage in favor of your candidacy for Congress and the said American Book Coie pany was to and actually did contribute large sums of money as a corruption fund to bribe the voters of the eighth congress ional district." It is a well known fact that some shady work was carried out in the school book contract, and before Mr. Hackett is through with the contest which Mr. Blackburn has instituted against him we may expect developments which will show up some high state officials in a bad light. A process of tempering gold, sil ver and copper, says the Scien tific American, has been discov ered by Mr. Z. F. Vaughn of Los Angeles. By his method, it is claimed that a cutting edge is obtained keener and more dura ble than that of steel, because of the microscopic fineness and smoothness imparted to it. 01 FOREIGN LETTER. Mr. Stack Writes His First Letter. WHAT HE DID AND WHAT HE EXPECTS TO DO. The Trip Across Lands at the Atlantic Bremen. -He I have always thought that j the lawyer asked our Savior a pertinent question when he in quired who was his neighbor. He did it, we are told, to justify himself. But, be that as it may, the question evoked an answer that is one of the priceless gems of the Christian religion and has been a blessing to many. And I for one favor giving that lawyer credit in this word for what he saicjf sjnce tne record is silent as to what i,ecame 0f him after death. gjnce his time the secrets of nature have been divulged and her forces ma(je the servants of man. The multiplied uses of i these forces have removed the barriers of distance and time an(j drawn ail peoples nearer to- gether. The increase in travel, the extension of commerce and the spread of the gospel have brought all nations into closer relationship with each other, Along with these things has come an increased desire in our country to know more of our neighbors across the sea. There has been, it is true, no lack of letters and books written by travellers on this side of the water most of them devoted to natural scenery, works of art and ancient ruins. The real life of the people how they live and how thev make a living has received scant attention. The reason of this is not so obvious to the readers as it is to the writers of the letters and books, it goes back to Babel when the Lord confused the tongues of those who attempted to enter heaven by the tower route. The punishment inflicted for that conduct was a keen one, and is still visited upon the descendants 0f those who took part in that foil v. And while the ancestors Gf the English speaking people, jn my opinion, had nothing to do with that tower affair, yet the moment we tret amone- the real descendants of those old sinners we must share in the punish- mpilf. Tt. is hut natural, there fore that English and American travellers should turn away from the confused jsQon and jabber and write mereiyuf what they see. To go under the surface for facts from and about people of a different tongue is no easy matter. It involves work, worry and money and many ludicrous mistakes. Those who have travelled abroad have learned that their friends at home often want in- formation about the most com mon matters. Even the most learned acquaintances ask the most ouestions about the sirrmle. sarily frequent, but the intel ligent reader will know that such is not always the product of vanity but in order to give a concrete story of travel. Equipment For Travel. Naturally money is thought of first. But that should give no concern, as foreigners don't want our money. When I left New York I had only $4.25 in my pocket and the expenses of two must be paid in three con tinents. You see the lack of money need not cause Americans to deny themselves the pleasure of nice trips to the old countries. You might bring along a mint of cash and it would be no good except at the banks where the yellow metal is ' 'worth its weight in gold." But, while you need bring no money, you must bring "something equally as good." That you may do by buying a letter of credit at the larger banks, travellers checks of ex press companies or other forms of paper. If you travel in Russia or Tur key, or their dependencies, a passport is necessary. None is required for a women she is not supposed to be an anarchist or bomb thrower. The passport must be approved by the Consul Generals for Russia and Turkey. Before getting a passport you must take and subscribe the oath of allegiance. And when you swear that you will be true to Uncle Sam, he engages on his part to be true to you. Be hind that simple document is thei entire army and navy of the j United States, and wherever I may ramble I shall know that ' that same army and navy are i pledges for my safety and pro-' tection. ! In the palmy days of Rome, when her dominion extended i from the Atlantic to the Euph I rates and from the Rhine and Danube to the African deserts, it was esteemed a great privilege j to be able to boast, "I am a Romaa." But prouder still, and meaning much moze, is the right to say, "I am an American citi zen." No other voucher is neces sary in order to travel anywhere But experience had taught me the need of something more. For this trip I was given a letter of introduction by the Governor, who also wrote Mr. Roosevelt in my behalf, and the President mailed him the following letter, which will be of great help to me: "Department of State, "Washington, Oct. 23, 1906. "To the Diplomatic and Consular Offi cers of the United States: "Gentleman: At the instances of the President, I take pleasure in in troducing to you the Honorable A. M. Stack, of Monroe, North Carolina, who is about to proceed abroad, aceompani- j ed by his wife. I cordially bespeak for ! them such courtesies and assistance as j you may be able to render, consistent- j ly with your official duties.

Our vessel steamed down the Hudson, through the bay into the open sea, pointed its prow to the northeast and started on its long journey. Of course, every true American gazed at the receding land until it faded out of vision. And it is a solemn moment, indeed, when the land we love and that contains all that is near and dear to us on earth goes down behind the hori zon. For whether wre shall ever see it again is known only to Him who holds the seas in the hollow of his hand takes knowledge of and who even the sparrow's fall. We next began to take our bearings and adjust ourselves to new surroundings. Just how soon we might make a lunch for some horrible monster under the water we didn't know." We re member Jonah but we could not expect his good luck. We mentally debated our readiness to go and which way. Life on The Ocean Ware. Our ship was German and nearly all of the passengers were Germans or German-Americans. They were not so approachable as the free, easy going native American, and acquaintances were not so readily made. National clannishness asserted itself and those of the same countries soon flocked together. All hands tried to deceive them selves into believing that they were having a good time. Every passenger engaged in some sort of amusement. The principal pastimes were cards, dominoes and vomiting. The fare was all that could be desired. The German considers the stomach the seat ot happiness : and he gives it special attention The bell rang regularly four I times a day for us to cat, and I between meals thev would bring! i around hot beef tea and sand- wiches. My appetite had just j reached the point where I was I rrpttinp' the worth of mv monev when, on the second day, we j encountered a rough sea. The! ship took both the lateral and i forward dip I saw men as trees walking. Eeverything was go ing the other way. If I attempt ed to enter my state room it would shy away; if I reached for a hand railing it would dodge me; and when I would go down stairs they were coming up. I went to pieces losing my appe tite and all that I had eaten. Near me were two very large people, man and wife. He carried an enormous avoirdupois ! and had a fog horn voice When ever old Neptune made a severe demand on him for tribute, the response suggested Vesuvius in j eruption. His spouse was aj women of anomalous proportions. ! Her horizontal dimensions almost j equaled her perpendicular, and whenever old Vesuvius would erupt, Aetna would answer him The horrible fuss made by these two people would have disturbed a corpse. Near me were also some very noisy children who, much to ray regret did not get sick at all.

The custom house officials will make I you forget that and 'things. All baggaj many other ;e must be j opened up and the contents ex hibited. It took over two hours for the German officials to look ! : at our socks and stockings. But the lover of fun is sure to be gratified on these occasions. One i fellow had a bottle of liquor in his valise, but the tariff on it was so high that he declined to j pay it. The officer smashed the bottle to pieces against the stone j wall. It was apparent from the ! painful expression on the trav-! eller's face that he believed in! a low tariff. The first night in Northern Germany furnished me a novel . experience. When time to re- tire came", I started to turn down the cover. There wasn't any Two feather beds and a huge pillow between them at one end were on the bedstead, and noth ing more. I was about to read the riot act to my landlord when I was informed that the top feather bed was the cover. The idea of covering with a feather bed stunted me but I tried it. When I retired I had so many feathers on me that I felt like a goose. Our German friends be lieve in giving information. One who understands their language 1 can't get lost. Everywhere are j 'signs with hands or arrows point-'; ; ing in the direction you should ! 1 go. Some of these I could under. : j stand; most of them I could not. I One read as lollows: Hell i Dunkel.

I did not know what either word ment in German; but out I I went ; of abundance of caution, ' to the right. ; j Wedding. Reported His Own A Kansas editor got married i ar'd wte the account of it for i his own paper. He deftly hides the seriousness of the business behind the following picturesque i description of the parties interest ed: "The bride wore a beautiful dress of French lawn, at least that's what they said it was. "The groom (that means 'we') wore the customary black hand-me-down, and was about scared to death There were no bridesmaid or best man because the groom did not think he could find a better man than himself." With reference to the personal charms of the bride, he wrote: Miss' Randolph is a peach; most of her beauty is 'natural, and she looks good to us; she is one of our schoolmates and we know she can throw a brick with remarkable accuracy. A sample of her rare nerve is shown by her vowing to 'love' honor,' etc." And in conclusion he disposes of her husband in this fashion: "The other interested party is j a jke; he came to Leona in the ! fall of '83 without clothes or i money, and is now free from all financial debt, of others just are not in either."

Trial bottle free, RESPECT FOR women in AMERICA I The American people havej some distinctive virtues, but not i so many that they can afford to j lose even one of them. Among j those virtues respect lor women i is something to be especially cher- j ished. In no other great country ! in the v- orld are women so safe! in the ordinary walks of life as in the United States; in no other country are they given the op- portunities, the immunities and the protection they enjoy in this . land of ours. They are well pro-; tr,ptpfl Vv thp lflvrc nnrl the nolicp. : but primarily bv a national chiv- alrv that manifests itself snonta- ; x neously whenever there is seri- j ous danger or annoyance. Yet it must net be forgotten ; that this virtue shines by con- j trast rather then by its own! light. Certainly American men are not more chivalrous than they ought to be. Indeed, they are often less so than they should be. But they are so much more respectful to women than the men of. other great countries more especially the countries of continental Europe that their codes shine by comparison. Un der such circumstances it is not distasteful, but agreeable, to be charged with puritanical cus toms by certain critics of conti nental Europe in connection with the Caruso case. This particular case has little to do with the broad question of a proper re gard for women, but it has served to raise this question. But the men in this country should not glory too much in the exalted position they have achieved and maintained. There is danger that their good name may suffer from an increasing selfishnes, which manifests itself more and more, particularly in the large cities, where the strug gle is most intense. There mny be no growing disposition to annoy women in public, but is there not a tendency to neglect them? Kansas City Star.
