riii The Btiltette A RANOOL H COUNTY PAPER FOR RANDOLPH CCUNTY PEOPLE. : -X .... - VOL. 7. NO. 28.' ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1912. ONE A DOLLAR YEAR, Railrod Men Killed In WrecH Five Prominent Railroad Men meet Sudden Death Centralia, 111., Jan. 22. James T. Harahan, Sr., former president of the Illinois Central Railroad, Frank 0. Melcher, second vice-president of the Rock Island, E. B. Pierce, general solicitor of the Rock Island, and Eldridge E. Wright, son of Luke IJ. Wright, former secretary of war, were killed in a collision of two Illinois Central Railroad trains at Kinmundy, 111. , 20 miles from here early todoy. Three trainmen were injured and the passengers were badly shaken up and bruised. Train No. 25, New Orleans Ex press, was taking water at Kin mundy, at one o'clock when train No. 3, Panama Limited, ran into the rear of No. 25. The killed were in Melcher's private car. Their bodies were" found near the berths they occupied. Only one occupant of the ; private car, Melcher's secretary, escaped. No. 3's engine plowed its way through the private car at tached to No. 25, and was stopp ed by the steel coaches immedi aetly preceeding. The impact shoved the standing train a dis tance down the tracks, although the brakes v ere locked.- .-, , NEW REPUBLICANS WANTS RECOGNITION, Washington, .Jan, 19. The cabled appeal for recognition of the Chinese Republicans, ' signed by Foreign Minister Wang Chung Wei, was received by; .the state department today,. It is regarded as marking a serious crisis in the important negoatiations now go ing on in China for the restora tion of peace to the distracted country,, for the decision of the state department is certain to have great influence upon the five other powers interested in the situation. - It is probable that the depart ment will not move in the matter until it has conferred with those owers. This sounding proeass may- be conducted through the diplomatic prepreseiitives of the powers at Peking, whose judgmant up to this point has influenced the powers in all that has baea done in dealing with the Chinese sit uation. With some regret the officials here recognize the growing pro bability of a division of China as a result of today 's developments. They hope, however, that" the seperation of the north from the south, which is expected soon, will not be peimaneni, but that the two sections may be combined under one government as a result of the deliberations of the na tional convention, which may still be realized. .-. . , Early action upon the appeal therefore is not expected, but in any event the ,'state department is determined -there shall be no departure from the policy that it has steadfastly pursued, of main taining absolut6vimpartiality as between the factions in China. $100 Per Plate . was paid at a banquet to Henry Clay, in NewrOrteans in 1842.

In fact one or two cases were reported to be in very bad shape to stand the elements. Such was not to continue, led by the ministers of the town a few of the philan thropic residents gathered to gether and started some relief work at once. They also provid ed for another m Bating at whish time a permanent organization would be perfected. This meeting took place in the Presbyterian church Sunday evening Jan. 21, the organiza tion, was christened "The Ashe boro Relief Assocation" The following officers were chosen: Pres. J. 0. -Redding Vice pres. A. C. McAlister Seth W. Laughlin Sec. J. A. Spence Treas. J. D. Ross. These five officers were sele' v. ed to act as an executive r. mittee whose cheif duty will 'i : ic pass upon the claims for charily. They will strive to help the really needy but will turn down , the professional beggar. All the citizens of Asheboro are invited to join the organization and by their concerted action help more satisfactorily the eed.V of our town. An initiation fee oi 25cen s is the only charge. All else is given by volentary contribution. Let every citizen' see the treas urer and have his rama enrolled. Ten Things to Do in January. 1. Decide just what line of farm ingyou wish to follow and then prepare for it; plan a rotation pro viding for food and feed crps as vveli as for sale crops. 2. Take an inventory; see what you are worth ; find out what you have on hand that you do not need and arrange to dispose of it; find out what you need in the way of equipment for economical farm ing and arrange to get it if pos-' sible . 3. Clean up and repair all ma chinery ready for spring work; if any is out in the weather, go right now and put it under shelter. 4. Look after the live stock and poultry to see' that they are com fortable and doing well; , be sure especially that there are no lice on either. 5. Keep the plows going, drain Wet lands; take steps to prevent hill lands from washing. 6. Clear out the stumps, bushse and briers; get rid of needless ditches and terrace banks. 7. Start the garden; gwe it a coat of manure .and plant the early hardy crops. 8. Take care of the manure; get it out on the fields as ear ly as possible. 9. Make a special study of the care of livestock, and arrange to raise . animals of better quality this year. . 10. Get a book on fertilizers and soil fertility and study this mat ter just as a boy studies a lesson in school; it will be as profitable work as you ever did.

Randleman News. sine Tlieff Sanctioned by Law'1 Becker tacks state's Public ScM System. Says School MOnev is Misapplied Our free school system, or the lack of system, or maybe too much system, however, the fail ure to provide a resonable school term in both length and kind is the cause of this criticism of our schools just now. While all the schools and colleges that have their origin and maintenance through and ,by the taxation of the people have pi o.pered most wonderfully, and while the wealth of the state has increased 25 percent in the last ten. years, the free schools stay the same. Ninety per cent of the people that create this wealth are pat rons of the common schools and have no other means of educating ;heir children, yet by the creator oi this system they are not con sidered of sufficient importance to share in this increased pros perity of the state Mr. Coon says that it is a patch-work sys tem; I hardly think so, for as my mother used to use patches they were applied to the garments in its most needy parts. It is not so with Mr. Joyner,s school sys tern. It puts each patch of good cloth where the garment is the best, or worse still, he gives the patch to the boy that already has good clothes while the little fel low with ragged britches (often times no fault of his) is left with out protection. Our democratic party can never point with pride to its legislation in the interest of the people as long as the pres ent .arrang-eme'nts cohtaes.' fail to see how a more unj ust act couid te devised. As it now stands the patrons of the high school after getting their share of the common school fund ecmt in and take futher of the little fellow's already depleted ward robe. Mr. Poe says that we have 101 days elementary schools, only two states below us while the average of the United States is 155 days. If that be true, we have nothing, as he says, to be proud of except the opportunity to improve. But have we 101 days? The school around mo have only 80 days. Are they not an average? Where do the other 21 days come from,, anu who ge's them? Will someboo j. lease tell us? Are they the re subs of the combined help from the state treasury, and what is tak n from the common school fund in the countries where these district high schools are located. The common school fund was raised for common school pui- poses. The tax is levied and m:UfpH iWiof onflnoa " "ill; Clpt JJ.- JJUJ P'JO'..

'Far a county to spend as much in equipment and maintenance of one farm-life school to train 50 boys and girls as it does in its whole free school system to train 3,000 boys and girls reminds us so very much of the tail wagnng t h e dog. Craven con u v T A intended to do that, but they Were told of the great good that would come to them through a farm-life scho.,1, and that there was only a ft-w to be given out to the largest counties, and that it was necessary to vote quick and avoid the rush, and also the failure on the part of the people to investigate its real worth accounts for . its adoption. However, there are still nine left and we started with ten without first taking into consideration the rights of the people, and the proper application of a school system to those to be taught is poor leadership. The country over the people are endeavoring no replace a government by a few for a few. with a srovern- men t by the people for the peo- pie. For a country to get the full benefits of a republican form if government it is very neces sary for the people to safeguard their rights. It isn't going to be done by the political boss and very seldom from the man in office. And what is the use in being so vindictive against the I jvk nations devised by man to iccumujaie weaun ana ignore the one thing that so vitally ef fects every man's home in North V'olina. We have r o ri$ht to .urs the tr.ut if we can't be trusted to give every child in this state a fair share of the state's prosperity in the form of public schools, and to forever eliminate the possibility of one man's dominating the public schools. We had as well face the naked facts that North Car olina has mighty common, com mon schools, and if there had been as much effort in their be half as there ha ,xeen behalf of firm-life and distiiet hi.n school they would have been far bettn ihey are to-day. The agricul tural department in both this tate and ihe nation - are trying to impress on the farmer the im portance of a thorough prepara tion of the soil to insure a satis factory harvest. How much more necessary it is then that the thousands of free school chil dren all over this state should be i well trained to meet the duties and responsibilities, and at " the same time enabling them to live the life more in accordance with' the wishes of our creator.

BeatfComes To Life Aged Man Supposed to be Deafl Asked ,Us Raining Attendants Fles Asheville, N. C, Jan. 18 It it not often that a person comes to . life after once being pronounced dead but this is what happened in the case of Robert Smith, an aged residente of the South Hominy section of the county. It had been known for months by his friends that Mr. Smith was incurably ill, and last Tues day he apparently died and was "laid out," and everyone left the death chamber. Some hours later several persons entered the room again and one who had helped to shroud the body noticed v that one of his arms was not in . its original position. He started ' to replace it when Mr. Smith opened one eye slightly and ven tured. "It's raining, ain't it?" All in the room had pressing busi ness elsewhere but they gathered , courage t o return later and through the day listened to the occasional remarks of Mr. Smith. The next day he was pronounced dead again, but his people took no chances and did not bury him for three days. This time he re mained dead. Mr. Smith was 70 years of age and had suffered for years with tuberculosis He leaves a family. WHAT THE DEMOCRATS MUST 0 In 1908, Mr. Taft received 7,- 678,908 votes, and Mr. Bryan re cei ved 6,409, 104 votes. Mr. Tafts popular plurality was 1,269,804. Mr. Taft received 321 Electoral votes. Roosevelt's popular plural ity in 1904 was 2,545,515. Mo Kinley's popular plurality in 1900 was 849,780, and in 1896 it was . 601,854. Mr. Taft polled more votes in 1908 than Mr. Roosevelt polled in 1904. , The New Years World gives these figures to show that "if the Democrats think the next election is as good as won they are sadly mistaken. They have a fight on their hands, whether or not Mr. Taft is renominated. " They will have to change more than 600,000 votes to win the election and get 266 votes in the Electoral College Referring to the result of the four successive Presidentialelec tions, The World says truly, "the brute force of these recur- rent Republican majorities con stitutes a tremendous handicap upon any Democratic candidate" What is to be done about it? We cannot hope to win with a vv eak candidate on bad platform or with a trading candidate on a strong platform. Much will depend upon both candidate and platform, and much also on what the present Democratic Congress shall do in the martte of legislation and particularly in the appropriation of money from public treasury. A few more licks like the Dollar-a Day Pen sion Steal and a few examples of personal graft like the mileage steal, and the party will be com pelled to fight an explanatory battle from the time the candid- ' atps are named until the polls are closed. It is just as well, in our prespnt state of confidence, not to lo;e sight of the fact that the fight this year is to be a fight to a finirh Charlotte Observer.
