Bo 1M A RANDOLPH COUNTY PAPER FOR RANDOLPH COUNTY PEOPLE. VOL. 5, NO. 42. ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1910. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. CELEBRATED 100th ANNIVERSARY Birthday dinner Record breaking crowd in attendance Ideal weather for occasion Speakers present. (Special Correspondance to the Bulletin) One of the largest crowds ever gathered together for a like oc- casion came together about eight miles east of Liberty, in Al amance County on April 6, 1910, the occasion being the celebration of the hundredth birthday of John M, Stout. The immense throng numbering more than six' hundred people that gathered to gether to do homage to Alamanc's oldest citizen, was a representa tive group of North Carolina Cit izenship, being quiet, and ordely, and earring themselves with that gentlemanly grace that not only reflects credit on all present, but but interesting talk he offered on the occasion as well. Long be-! prayer, after which dinner was fore nine o'clock people began to j served. A table was set especial pour in from all sides, and when j h for the old people there being dinner was served about half j three in number. Mr. Stout and pasttwelve, the crowd numdered j bis wife ate from plates that were at least six hundred people, near I over one hundred years old, they five hundred having registered, j being the property of T. A. Slack The weather was ideal, beine-ior one of those balmv SDrimr davs-1 when youth is at the highest pitch, old age in its prime, and all mankind unite in one grand and glorious song of praise to Him who giveth all. The tables were spread under the giant arms of a I leves at Haw River, and the : spreading oak, which rivaled the ; other two live in Texas and Kas- j age of he whom all had gather to Ssas respectively. Despite the j honor. I fact that the old man has crossed ; Itisnot within the power of: the one hundredth meridian of j mortal man to describe the appe-! life he fc apparently enjoying j tising spread that was put before jgood health and looks like he j the gathering. Suffice it to say! might live for some years to : that there was enough for all, I and to spare, and a better we 1 have never looked upon. Mrs. j Reece was the first speaker, and she made a strong and impressive speech often minutes duraton j after.which she instroduced T. F. McVeagh who appeared in be half of the Pleasant Hill Temper ance Society, of which Mr. Stout has been a prominent member since September 1883, having held every prominent office in the : gift of the Society. Mr. McVeagh made a strong and impassioned plea for the Society and for the cause for which they are enlisted. He said that the rumor was current that the Pleasant Hilljucation offers a numder ot Temperance Society had outlived j courses designed for those who the davs of its usefulness and ! exnect to become teachers. A stated that such was not the case. ''We now have a statutary pro- hibition law in North Carolina" jgree of Bachelor of Laws is given, he said 'but the liquor question j Hie catalogue shows that dur is not settled for all times, and I ing the year ending Febuary 1, 'till it is settled definitely for all j 1910, 1,903 bound volums and time to come we have a work to 1,211 pamphlets were added to accomplish and it is our duty to the Library, doit" I The total attendance in Trinity He held Mr. Stout as a fitting example of one who had lived a ! strictly temperate life, not only in regard to whiskey, but in all the walks of daily life. In all the years of his connection with the society he has never been known to commit an act that would discredit the society, or himself. Mr. McVeagh talked impressively for fifteen minutes after which he presented a gold headed cane to Mr. Stout as a token of the high esteem in which he is held by the society to which he has been so loyal. The cane was engraved with his name, by whom given, and date of his birth which was April 6th 1830 George Hinshaw who lived near here when a boy, but who is now a buisness man of Winston Salem was the next speaker and he made a speech appropriate to the occasion. He talked inter estingly for ten minutes and then presented Mr. Stout with a hand- some rocker saying that he had , a cane to walk with while he was a young man, but that whea he got to be an old man he had fur nished the means whereby he could rest :n comfort. He said that while he had been away that everybody had grown out of his knowledge, that the middle age had grown old, and the .boys and girls were now men and women. He said that Mr. S'cout had seen great changes within his century of time and that the boys and girls now present would live to witness even greater changes. "One hundred years ago" he said "the horse and wagon was the only means of conveyance, where as we now have trains running throughout the United States, then mail was carried by the mile, now we have unlimited mail ing facilities." Rev. Miles Reece was the next speaker a id after making a shor .branklmville. Mr. Stout is now living with his second wife, Ave children having resulted from their union, three boys and two girls, all of whom are now mar- j ried. Two of the children now : near the old home place, while ur,e come Trinity College Catalogue.

The census begins April 15 and must be completed in two weeks in cities and in thirty days in all other areas. The enumerators will wear' a badge inscribed 4 'United States Census, 1910." The law requires every adult person to furnish the prescribed information, but also provides that it shall be rreated confidentially, so that mo injury can come to r.r-.y. pe son from answering the questions. The Presi dent has issued a proclama tion, calling on all citizens to co-opera o with the Cen-si-3 and assuring them that it has nothing to do with taxation, army or jury ser vice, compulsory school at tendance, regulation of im roigrat on, or enforcement of any I?w, and that no one can oe injured by answer ing the inquiries. It is of the utmost impor tance that the census ' of population and agriculture in this state be complete ard correct. Therefore every person should promptly, accurately, and completely answer the Census questions asked by the enumerators. WHY NOT COMMENCEMENT. Owing to the fact that some one has circulated the report that there would not be any com- mencement at Why Not this year, I take this opportunity to say that we will hold our regular annual commencement on Thurs- day, May 26th, opening at 10 j o'clock a. m.

I do not believe that God, in his wisdom and mercy, ever takes our loved ones from us, as a pun ishment, to those left on earth. I do not believe in favoritism, I do not believe the God I worship is a respector of . persons; I do not believe in worshiping an ism, or the houses, the isms build; I believe the present day trend is inimicable to the teach ings of the Bible. I do not be lieve the criminal ; class should have greater privileges than the law abiding citizens, who keeps up our government hence I do not believe it is right or just to the ones who pay the taxes to sustain our courts to be deprived of the power to convict the felon; I do not believe the felon should have four times the power be fore our courts, that - the good man who violates no law has; I do not believe this injustice will ever be remedied by the petty f ogger lawyer, in the halls of legislature; I do.not believe our best interest will be conserved by sending such characters or tools, they can influence to make our laws no, not ours; but their laws ; such laws, as foster and encourage littigation, with al ways a loophole for the escape of the criminal; I do not, believe it right to tax our good people to sustain courts, merely to give the shyster and petty-f oggers a chance to replete their purses; I do not believe an honest judge would tolerate such practices. I do not believe we have enough judges 4 who ; regard, those . who pay the expenses and never vio late the law. I do, not believe any law ever was, or will be en forced, that is not backed by public opinion. I do not believe public opinion is given a fair chance with our present day courts, when the petty-fogger is allowed to pick oyer the whole county, for a jury that is of his way of thinking; he, does not want men, who favor law en forcement.
