Woodrow Wilson, President of Princeton University, Says the Time Is Almost at Hand When tne Demo cratic Party Must Take Charge of the Country's Affairs. The political tide is now turning Democratic, and the day when the Democratic party must take charge of this country's affairs is almost at hand, were declarations made by WoodrowWilson, president of Prince ton University, in a speech it the Democratic dinner in JMizabetn, JN. J recently. " "In the first place we should wish not merely to curb the trusts, and above all we should not wish to reg ulate them in such a way as will make them either partners or ere tures of the Government itself. We should wish to square their, whole action and responsibility with the g-neral interests. Our regulations of public interests must be legal regulation and not direct manage ment. In the second place ic is clearly our duty so soon as we get the opportunity to take the govtrn ment out of the business of patron age, the business of granting favor and privileges of arranging the laws so that this, that or the other group of men may make large profits out of their business, and draw it back to the function of safeguarding rights, general, not particular, rights, the rights which make not so much for the 'prosperity' which enables small groups of individuals to pile up enormous fortunes, as tor a gea eral stimulation, universal oppor tunity for enlightenment and ius tice. I am thinking, of course, of tariff legislation." He then declared that the policy of protection has long since, as dealt with by congress, ceased to be a policy of protection and become a policy or patronage. . "We are told," he continued, "that the present extraordinarily high prices of commodities is due not to the tariff bqt to thi fact that we are not " producing enough to keep up with the daily demand and that this is particularly true with regard to the tnings we eas anu nave uauj ueeu of. Take meat for example, and see what the truth is. The truth is that the meat trust has been able to control the meat market to such an extent that scores of ranchmen have been driven oat of the cattle raising business because it was unprofitable, The short supply of meat is due to the monopoly created by the meat trust. It is true, therefore, that tne supply is short compared with the vast demand, but it has been made short by the operation of a trust un questionably fostered by the legisla tiou ef the government. "In the third place, it is one of the chief duties of the Democratic party to initiate such reform, alike in local ana in reuerm guveruuieut as will secure economy; responsibili ty, honesty, fidelity. "And finally, it seems to me, that it is the duty of the Democratic party to challenge the people by every passible meaus to depend upon themselveB rather tbau upon foster ing cowers lodged in groups of in dividuals. "In brief, our program should be a general revival cf popular politics of common counsel of responsible leadership. We must supply ef ficient leaders and eschew all the lower personal objects of politics. It is a case of must as well as a case of may. a case of necessity as well as a case of privilege. A new day has come. Men aud measures are being scrutinized as never before. For myself, I veritably believe that we are upon the eve of a new era of po litical liberty, when -oore literally and truly than ever before we can realize the metis or popular govern ment and of individual privilege." Lavmeu's Meeting at Randleman. On last Sunday afternoon the Lay' men from all the churches in Ran dlemen held a most enthusiastic meeting in the Graded School Audi torium. Rev. 0. L. Powers, of High Point, was present to address the meeting. After a Splendid talk by Mr. rowers on this great move ment, short talks were made by Messrs. H. G. . Collins, S. Bryant, A. P. Gaster and L. C. Hughes. The meetiog then closed with an able address from Rev. G. E. Eaves.

Tne Civic League Urges Everybody to Co-Operate With Them on "Clean , log Day." The Civic League of Asheboro has set apart Friday, April 15th, as "Cleaning Day" and is making an earnest appeal to every resident of the. town to see to it, that there is not a single lot in the town limits, occupied or vacant, that escapes at tention. The idea is, to make the entire town clean, just once, and let all the people see how much more attractive it is in evr-ry way, hoping that it will prove an object lesson which will never be forgotten. In order to do this, the Civic League calls upon every business firm, every housekeeper, every man, woman and child who controls a foot of ground, to observe the "C leaning Day." . Many people who allow trash, garbage, old shoes, tin cans and all kinds of odds and ends to remain on their premise?, complain that they can not get them hauled away. In order to overcome tiis, the Civic League has asked 'tie mayor and board of aldermen toco operate with them and furnish wagons to haul away garbage. This arrangement will doubtless be. made and announ ced in next week's paper. This movement is for the good of all of, the Asheboro people and every body should feel equally interested Bd give their hearty support and co-operatiou. KILLING NEAR ROCKINGHAM.

Shem well Has More Trouble With Con ductor Tucker.i On Thursday night of last week the papers tell of an unpleasant re lation between Bixter Shemwell and conductor Tucker on the Southern's fas night train No. 38. It appears that Shemwell had purchased a ticket from Birming ham to Lexington and got on No. 38, a triin which does not Btop at Lexington. The conductor told Mr. Shem well that the train did not stop at Lexington, whereupon Shemwell is reported as saying to Tucker, yes, tris train will stop at Lexington, and retreated to the rear of the c. r, but did not make any other demon stration. The conductor wired for further orders, receiving instruc tions to run the train according to orders from passenger transporta tion department and not by direc ts n of Shemwell. The conductor replied that Shemwell was in an angry mood and asked for orders to stop train at Lexington. The train was stopped at Lexing ton. Shemwell manes denial of the facts as reported in the newspapers and explain tnat he had a ticket to Lexington and requested that he be put off there. Conductor Tucker came out in an interview in which he says the facts are as first reported and that when he Bent pullman conductor Evans to Shemwell to tell him the train would Btop at Lexington Shemwell said in cfiect it was well for it was better that be nor Tucker should be killed over the matter. This con versation was not reported to con ductor Tucker nntil after Shemwell had gotten off the train. Asheboro Wins. Tuesday night April 5th, will be remembered some time by the mem. bers of the Oravenian Literary Soci ety, of Asheboro Graded School be canse of the fact that at this time the Asheboro boys won in a joint debate with the representatives of the Library society of the High Point Graded School. The question for discussion was, "Resolved, that the present rate of increase of our navy is insufficient and calls for a more rapid advance ment." Eugene Idol and Horace Hay worth, of the High Point school contended for a moie rapid increase, while Clifford Cox and Wayland Hayes, of the Aehebore school, up held the negative tide of the ques tion. The judges of the debate were Messrs. Barnhart, Parsons and Ragan, three promising young law yers of High Point. Their decision was nnamimons for Asheboro. The debate was very interesting. While three men, J. O. Eller, Miller Baker and Dick Campbell were playing poker in the basement of Nelson and Eller's livery stable in Lenoir, N. C, last Monday night a dispute aiose between Baker and Campbell over a small amount- of money. Baker drew his pistol and shot Campbell, the. ball entering Campbell's side.
