Largest Attendance at Court fur Yeair Judge Webb Delivers Charge to Jury Randolph Superior Court' con vened Monday moiniag with Judge J L Webb, of Miell y, presiding. The attendance was unusually large on Monday, and on Tuesday the court yard, and in fact the whole town was thronged with vis itors. When court convened Monday the following grand jury was urawn and empanelled: L. C. riiillip3, foreaiin; T. E Marshall, W. II. Winningham, John Vuncaunon, Win. I'. Pickett, Thos. Slack, Willie F. Hrooks, D. W. Loir, Jr., E. W. Walker, II. A. romiinson, Houston lrogdon, J.J Miller, R. L. Gray, J. II. Vestal, Larl (Joltrane, M.J. Leach, 1.1$. Tysor, W. W. Burrow. J. B. Slack was sworn as otlicer to the grand jury. Judge Webb delivered an exhaus tive charge to the grand jury upon the duty of not only the grand jury, bht the citizens as well, in uphold ing the laws for the protection of the lives and property of the peo pie. He declared it to be the duty of every citizen to obey the law, wheth er they believed it a good or a bad one. It ia the duty of the grand jury to see that the law ia enforced. The position of grand juror ia one of responsibility, and the enforce ment of the law depends largely upon its action. The court ia pow erless to bring a violator of the law to justice unless the grand jury first declare it s . case to be tried. He charged them to investigate all violations of which they have know ledge, and if, after examining wit nesses, they think there ia possible cause, retnra a true bill, and in this way justice will be meted out to the defendants if guilty they will be punished, if innooeat they will be released. After referring generally to the datidsof. both citizens and jurors, Mr. Webb referred in no uncertain terms to the criminal laws. Murder, burglary, arson, and rape, secret assault, larceny, embez zlement, gambling, drinking, etc., were subjects of comment. Mr. Webb was especially forceful in that part of his charge referring to the manufacture and sale of in toxicating liquors, beingdrunk in public and the sale of cigarettes to boys under 17 years of age. lie declared that there is no evil in North Carolina today greater and more dangerous than boys smoking cigarettes. For a boy to smoke hefore maturity means 'des truction of health, mind and in , many instances character. Realiz ing this great evil the law declares that a merchant who sells cigarettes to minors s guilty of a crime and calls upon the grand jury to indict these metchants. Although the courtroom ' was crowded and warm the crowd fol lowed his honor closely in the charge which was indeed, a strong one. The grand jury retired abou 1:30 o'clock after which court adjourned for dinner. The following petit jurors were drawn: W. E. Harrell. J. M. Biower, A. B. Steele, R. L. Talbert, G. U. Black, Osborne Slack, G. R. Moser, D. S. Craven, W. W. Jones, R. D. Horner, J. M. Brewer, J. M. Cor nelison.

' CAMPAIGN OPENS First Speech By Candidate On The State Ticket Made to ThePeople of Randolph Tuesday Hon. B. F. Aycock Made Fine Impression. tlic; cainpaigu in .North Carolina opened Tuesday in Asheboro, with a a speech by Hon. B. F. Aycock, of Wayne County, Democratic candid ate for Corporation Comnii-'-ioner. This is the first tp-och of th cvn paigu delivered, and Mr. vcjL'k (.inn; upon tiie rivit sti.ii :rf t'ie Vs.ie'ioro I'.rviiii-K.nnnin till", :(;' firsr, origin i z,-d in the State. Ill:- p.-i'v.'r w.ts uiiivvlii'V'! nv II U. II. N. Page, of Biscoi', it tm dul.ne tii C.omnvss. Mr. vus ry b. ief lo his introductory' -pividi. lie said: ''We have now arrival at tlie beginning of a:io;.n'r c imiviign. HON. B. F. AYCOCK. Each two years the citizens of' the State nominate caadidates for the various offices', and the campaign begins. No better place can be found to open the campaign than in Randolph County." Referring to Democratic pros pects, Mr. Page said the party never started in a campaign with more en couragement and a better chanie to win 'than this one. The national convention has nominated a man for President whoae name is dear to the heart of every Democrat, a man whose life is beyond reproach and at whom his strongest enemies cast 0 J Tii. The Stat 3 ticket is also with out reproach. As a strong rap resenUtive f the State ticket, Mr. Page introduced the speeker, Mr. Aycock, who was received with ap pi a use. The court room was thronged with people of both political partieB who listened with intense interest for more thau an hour us the speaker re viewed the record of the two, parties in a strong and convincing manner. Mr. Aycock said be would not make an eloquent speach. He declared that he might not nuke a good speech but be could run us straight a furrow as any inau aud bake as good biscuit) Sony woman in AbUebwo the fact that when the slaves werw freed bis moiher taught him how to do every thing. Entering upon his speech proper, .Mr. Aycock declared that it was th;-. duty of every man when he reached the nge of maturity to investigate aud cist his ballot for the candid ate aud for the party whose plat form offered the most to the pwple Every man should be iutere t.'d in good government and the psople should "reason together that good may come." He said he wanted to talk to the people of Randolph and of North Carolina heart to hea't and reason together without feeling, that paoe, happing and good will may prevail in the State. Touching national matters, he re ferred to the nomination of Win. J Bryan for president and to the adop tion of the national platform a the will of the people and not as the dictation of any one man or combin ation uf men. No one man in State or national government is permitted to dictate the caudidates or policies of the Democratic party. We be i ;ve in waiting to hear from the migutv people, and their will is the will of the Democrat'O Convention. Who nominated Taft? Who dictat ed the Republican platform? Did the people.'' No. Mr. Roosevelt nomi nated laftand outlined the poller of the Republican party; ignoriug entirely fie masses of the people of IN ASHEBORO. that paitv who joined in demand for relief. Mr. Bryan was nominated by the people and stands for the people. He believes iu Stite's Rights ! giing you the privilege do vth- out the interference of Federal jn Ige or otner authorities without an op- portunity to be hard. ! Touching tariff -md the Rep;ibli-1 can promise of revision, Mr. Av-i cock declared it a cnnlideniH' game' to fo'd the people hoping with this! promise of revision to pnet the peo ple and at the same time approach the money interest and monopolies with the proposition of pledges to their crrupt campaign fund to se cure their election. The speaker de clared that if re-elected Republicans might revise the tariff but for the benelit of these monopolies i net-end of the pnor over-bnrdetied consumer. He declared that the taxes iaid to the Federal Government bv the) people in an indirect way, if they could but once realize the enormity of it, they would ruse up ia fierce re bel lion. Referring to State matters, Mr. Aycock bo.isted that the people of North Carolina had not asked of the party any reasonable thing and there had been nothing that the Demo cratic party could think of which would benefit the people of the State that had not been enacted into law. He pledged that the party stood ready and willing to do anything that yet remained undone. He re feired to the progress of education, the appropriation to the old soldiers, the erection of school houses, the building of insane asyluma, homes fcr the aged aud iufirm, asyluma for the deaf, dumb and blind, the need of which was keenly felt by the people, and realizing it the Demo cratic party acted accordingly. The complaint has been made that the Democrats have spent a great deal of money. For the party Mr. Aycock pleaded guilty, but de clared that every dollar that was col lected during the Democratic admin istration in taxes hal been put to use and invested in a manner ia the interest of the people generally iu thia State. There has been uo ex travagance, no misappropriations. and should not the party who spends the money hon ettly and in the in HOX. 11 OUT. N. PAGK. teres t of the misses be recognized and continued in power? The ac- tiou of the party is aa open book and the people cau see where every dollar has gone. The Republican administration was one of extrava gance, misappropriation, embezzle ment, bringing destruction to manu facturing enterprises and wreck to the home. Mr. Aycock urged (very young man to cast his ballot in the inter est of peace and happiness and lend his aid to the promotion of good government and prosperity among the prople. He urged the old men to go to the polls aud vote for the principle that inspired them to shoulder the musket and endure the lour yeurs of war and hardship. If this is done the entire Democratic ticket in the State and County will be plectid. Mr. Aycock was plain practical and . ;5V "X I At- 'Ik - ' u .-.. in., i . -I. 1 .in J CONDENSED NEWS.
