J-

There can be no disguising the
fact that the special interests have
turned to Democracy as the most
likely instrument to keep them in
power at the national capital. They
see no hope of a Republican reaction
ary or standpatter winning next
year, so widespread and deep-seated
is the doctrine of progression within
the Kepubhcan ranks.
It is certain they would not sup
port a progressive candidate upon
the Republican ticket, and it is al
most equally certain that the only
chance the Republicanparty has to
win anything in 1912 is to nominate
progressive, ihe reactionary ele
meat within the Republican party
Has been thoroughly discredited
' The elections last fall proved the
party would have not the slightest
chance of carrying over a dozen
states if it goes into the campaign of
1912 under the leadership of the
standpatters of the party, and yet
under no other leadership could the
Republican party hope to command
the support of the large financial
and corporate interests. This makes
it impossible in either alternative
for the Interests to hope for any
thicg from the Republican party.
They would not identity themselves
with a loser and they would be
figainst tbe party upon the only plat.
form and under the only leadership
that must triDg party victory.
It is an assured fact that the in
terests are now secretly and actively
at work endeavoring to mass them
selves bebind the Democratic party.
Their agento and cmis3;irus are at
work eyevywhere. The bi-partisan
machine, the cgent of special
privilege, is stretched out in the
land. The Tammany machine ia
New York, the Sullivan-Lorimer
machine in Illinois,the Cox machine
in Ohio, the Penrose machine in
Pennsylvania, the Taggart machine
in Indiana, the bi-partisan machine
in Wisconsin, Colorado, Montana,
California are all the same. They
draw their power and authority from
Wall street and their seats in Con.
gress. With all hopes of bolh har.
mony and victory with the Republi
can party out of the question, these
interests will center, and are now
centering their efforts to rehabilit
ate Democracy and put it in power
in 1912.
William Jeinnngs Bryan's influence
can be counted against the nomina
tion of any reactionary Democrat for
the office of President, and more
over, hisiriluence will be against
such a nominee if the Interests
should perchance control the next
Democratic national convention.
Bryau and the standpatters of Demo
cracy have come to the parting of
the ways.
It is generally believed among
Democratic leaders throughout the
country that Bryan has made plain
his determination to oppose the nom
ination of Governor Judson Harmon
of Ohio, and that if Harmon is nom
inated Bryan will openly oppose his
election. Notwithstanding some of
Harmon's personal friends who hap
pened also to be intimate friends jf
Colonel Bryan have sought ia every
way to get Bryan to relax his opposi
, tion to Harmon, it is well known
that Bryan will not surrender his
convictions in order to promote party
success in 1912, ii party success is
to be secured only by the Democrats
making their peace with the inter,
csts and winning through their sup
port. This stand of Bryan's reflects
the sentiment of fully eighty per
cent, of the rank and file of the
party which would rather see the
Democratic party disintegrate and
pass into history because of its
loyalty to the people and its wel
fare than see it victorious by reason
of its surrender to Wall street inter
eats.
TheDemocatic masses have proven
themselves to be independent. The
Democratic masses differ in noway
from the Republican masses bee it b;
the common people are the same
the nation over. Colonel Bryan has
sounded the warning. As events
move in rapid succession from now
on we shall witness the crystaliza
tion of the masses around principles,
the realignment of the forces in
American politics, and among the
leaders m the new movement will be
WilJiam Jennings Bryan, Woodrow
Wilson, Robert Li Ower, Joseph W.
Folk and John I. Shaiurtb. whoa
great influence for good in our politi
cal life is yet to be made manifest.
' . Realzmg that the tight in 1912
must be the same fight that has been
made ever since 1892, the fight of the
people against the money power, an
organization that premises to play
an epochal part in American poll
tic is inf rocess of formation. This
orgauizitioD, which is to ba known
as the National . Progressive Demo
cratic League, like a similar organi

party several months ago, is being

History of Asheboro-
Written by Miss Fannie Hanual lor the 1911
Class liay Exercises ol the Asheboro Uraueu
BCIIOUI.
In the center of Randolph County
and almost in the center if the State
of North Carolina, is the enterpris
ing town ot Asneooro. ideated in
the midst of a low range of moun.
tains, between two rivers, the Deep
River, on the east aud (the U wharrie,
on the west, it ;enjoys many natur
al advantages wnich result from
good drainage.
This town was founded one hun
dred and seventeen years ago, and
was named in honor of Samuel Ashe,
a distinguished soldier and states
man who lived in the days of the
American Revolution. He after
wards became governor of the State,
In 1793 Jesse Henley conveyed to
tbe Justices of Randolph County
two acres of land on Abram's Cretk
for public buildings, and on Jane
the 12th, 1793, the first court was
held in Asheooro in a small wooden
building, located near where the
present old court-house now stands.
The former courts had been held
at Brown's Cross Roads, near the
present town of Randleman. The
change of location was made in or
der that the county seat might be
nearer the center of the county,
In lbUo che legislatute passed an
act authorizing Randolph County to
bund a new courthouse. A large
two story frame Etructure was built,
and in 1830 this house was sold td
Alfed Mirth and Benjamin Elliott
anu converted into a store, A small
brick courthouse was lui;t instead
in consequence or some ucrcct in
tne wall this soon became unsafe
aid was torn down, and in 1835
another bncK building was erected
unuer uhe contract and supervision
of John Worth. In 1S76 the north
wing an I ot:i r r'roat were added.
The first jail stood just below
wLere Colonel McAlister's brick
store how stands. Alter seiving its
puipjse tor awhile, it was burned
down by u colored man who got his
matches fiow another pr'doner nam
ed Alaieu. Ilia object w.s to burn
the staple loose which kept him
chained to the iloor and then escape,
but in this he tails! to sujeeed. The
jiii that stands now was built about
me year lb51.
in early limes there were only a
few country stores. These were
owned by Jjhn Mos and Jaob
Elliott. "Thus this little country
village incircled by hills of pine his
progressed," says Mr. Addison
Blair in ihe 1 History of Raudulph
County, "Very slowly tor the lust
fifty years witnout assuming the air
of town life, untrfdcted by burglars,
tramp1 or insurance agents." The
courts were held once every year.
About fifty-five years ago, while
Ashebon was still . small village, a
plank road extending from Salem to
Fayette ville was constructed through
it. On this road ran the stage
coach which at tiat time was toe
most rapid means of transit. When
the stage coach was two or three
miles Irom town the bugle would be
blown to let the people who kept
boarding honses know that it was
coming in order that they might
prepare tor passengers. As the
ougle notes rang out with wild echoes
among the hills annonncing the ap
proach of the mail, all Asheooro was
astir; then there was a tempoiary
lull in all business; some stood in
door ways and others gazed from the
windows to see the passengers; all
were anxious to hear tbe first break
of news, and to catch a glimpse of
that marvelous vehicle ot transpor
tation. At the toll house which
was situated where Dr. W. J. Moore
now lived, the horses were exchang
ed for fresh ones and the journey
was continued.
About iorty years ago tbe main
industry of Asheboro was a cowbell
shop, a buggy shop, a saddle shop,
the stores of Dr. Worth aud E. A.
Moftitt, four bar-rooms and a few
housis.
Ia July 1889 Iligh Point, Ashe
boro and Southern R ill way was
completed to this place. It is auuz
ing io note the itilluei.ee this medi
um of travel and transportation has
eeited on the advancement of a
town a century old' and containing
only twenty-two houses, several shops
a iu two stores. Sinc the cotnple
t on of til. s roud tremendous strides
kave titseu place despite an effort ou
the part ot some o tneolier mOani
Uuts to prevent it. The towu al
most immediately begau to build
about tbe new depot, and since that
time a j rospeioua growtn has oeen
continuous. The population hits
lucnased to about twthty-dve hun

At present there are two , roller

Think It Over
Were a friend to tell you: "I have
had my own carriag and had my fill
I have went to three balls in one
night, I have lighted my cigar with
a ten.dollar bill, and all when
money was tight," you would think
he was boasting, possibly prevaricat
ing. But if he should say that the
carriage was a baby carriage, the three
balls a pawn shop and the ten-dollar
bill a board bill, jou would see the
joke.
When a farm paper advertise
thiee full years for 35 cents, and it
is a monlhly publication, they give
you just 36 numbtrs in the whole
three years' time. Again when they
advertise, three full years for a dollar
and it is a semi-monthly publication,
you get 72 issues in the whole three
years. In the first casa hi. teen is
sues lees than The Progressive
Farmer and Gazette gives its readers
eery year; and in tbe latter case they
give only 20 issues mere in the three
years than we do in one year. And
you know tbat a paper coming once
uiontb. or even twice a month,'
ca't he as interesting, or u's timely,
or aa helpful a a parierooming every
week. Don'tforget that The Pro
gressive Farmer and G .zette is inhde
in the South, by Southern men, for
Southern tueu, and dealing with
Southern conditions only.
