i et A RANDOLPH COUNTY PAPER FOR RANDOLPH COUNTY PEOPLE. VOL. 7. NO. "9. ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 19X1. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR alne Remains Dry Stale Carried for Prohibition by small Ma jurLy Portland, Me., Sept. 12-In a closely contested election held throughout the State yesterday on the question of repealing the prohibition law the dry element carried the state by a small majority. The first returns in dicate a victory for the wets but later and more complete figures shows this not to be the case. After a day of almost constant surprises during which the result was many times hanging in the balance, it appeared tonight on the face of returns from town and city clerks in all but 196 towns and plantations that pro hibition had won in the special election of yesterday by 495 votes. Most of the towns yet to be heard from have been un officially reported with small majorities favoring the retention of the prohibition amendment in the constitution and any change in the vote of these places is like ly to help the prohibitionists. In addition to the 465 majority shown by the clerks returns there are 50 more "dry" votes known to exist in Portland; which are not included in the city clerk's report because of admitted error. If necessary anti-repealers will petition for a recount. The change from an apparent victory for the "wet" side by 700 votes to 500 votes in favor of the 'dry" came as a big sur prise. The prohibitionists had prac tically conceded defeat, while representatives of those who sought the repeal of the con situtional amendment had sent out numerous statements on the strength of their apparent safe majority. Of the other referendum ques tion before the people yesterday that proposing to make "Augusta forever the capital of the state and favoring the direct primaries act were carried by large ma jorities, according to returns at hand tonight. With no cities and only 196 towns missing out of 521 the vote on the minor propositions was: Retaining capital at Augusta, yes 48,295; No. 30,419. Direct primaries, yes 55,840; no 17,751.

I ANOTHER CONFREDEROTE SOLDIER j CROSSED OVER THE RIVER. i i Editor the Bulletin: The friends I ot Jonn M. Steel who died at! White OaK cotton mill Sept. 5th j 1911 will regret to hear of this good mans death. His remains I were shipped to this place Sept. j bh tor his last resting place, was attended by a large assembly of relatives, and friends of the deceased, especially the old vets who were chosen for pall bearers First A.

Junior Sixth Miles Cioss Co. J. 22 regt. N. C. The writer of this sketch knew Mr. Steel about all of their lives, went to school together when quite small and served as class mates through four sessions of school when his father moved near Columbia factory, now Ramseur, we grew up and scatter ed off from our parents, Mr. Steel married miss 'Elizabeth Whitehead in 1860 and settled in Chatham county and farmed for a few years, then came back near the old place and worked in and around the Columbia factory until a few years past, then he moved to where he died. Now in the war, I did not serve with him but saw him in the army. He went off in '62 was in Major Melett's Battalion stationed at Raleigh at the camp of Instructions. In the fall of '62 I came home on furlough and on t 1 T" T" "T l 1 my way deck to va., i stopped and spent the night with him. When I shook hands the next morning to leave him, I saw the tears in his eyes, he remarked to me I would like to go with you, John to the front, I think there is my place but you have no wife and I have one at home and it is my duty to be as close to her as I can, but in '63 he got to the front. His battalion was dis banded and the boys were sent to different regiments to fill up. This godd man Steel and Neal Burgess and T. J. Steel, brother of the deceased were sent to Fanan's battery of artillery in Jacksons army in Va. and he got to the front at last for I know what Jackson expected of his men without a murmer. In the year of 1893. I settled in said town adjoining lots to Mr. John M. Steel. The deceased was not a member of any church but believed in Primitive Baptist faith. He has worked with me at carpenter trade and in my shop many a day. I neVer saw a better man than Mr. Steel. I think if there had been a black spot about him I had all chances to find it out. If he could not speak a good word for his fellow man he would not speak a bad one. l nave no aouot out what Mr. Steel has crossed over the river and is resting in the shade. A word to all of the old vets: We are passing a away fast, a few more years and we will be plac ed in our last resting place as Mr. Steel is. So let us all live the life of this good man and no doubt we will at last rest with him, our friend, who has just crossed over. If I have misrep resented him in any way in these remarks, I beg to be par doned. - John T. Turner Company M 22d Regement. Ramseur Sept. 9, Chas. H.

Ross the manager of the Randolph fair and home comming week, and asked him if he could lend any encouragement to a re-union of the old wagoners. No counties furnished more wagons during the day of re constrction than did Randolph and the adjoining ones, and there are a large number of them now living who would be glad to meet and shake with each other as they talked of the olden times and it was for this reason that I called the attention of an "old wagoners reunion" to the management of our county fair, and Home Coming Week. Mr. Ross will make arrange- ments for good camping ground and plenty of wood -and water this is all we could ask of any ; one and I hope a number of the old wagoners of this section will send letters to few of the county papers expressing their desire and intention of attending, as I have already heard many say I they hoped to attend. Fnthermore the grounds will be for the old wagonero onlyknd no ot hers will be allowed to camp there. One old wagoner who hopes to meet ma ay of his old friends at tfiQ camp, fines Oct. 31 ?ov. 3 K.
