C-, Dear Pat; We've got another party. I thought it was all foolishness for the great hunter, "Big I," to organize such, a thing after he had ruined the G. O. P. But it has turned out a good thing after all- I didn't notice what a good move it was till I got to looking at the list of Tedjjlte dele Sates, Just look at it, and guess what I mean. Well, It's too good to keep till I hear from you, and so here goes my reason It will give a lot of men another chance. They have joined every party ever .organized in this country, and like Alexander the Great,, or some other great mail, when he had . conquered the world and wept because there were no u-ore to conquer, they seemed sorry that there were no more parties to join. Now comes Teddy along with a new party of lijis own, and these men rushed into it like hungry pigs to a feed trough. And now they sing, "Once More We're Happy." .More thau that, hey can beat the Democrats two to one tolling how bad the old Repub lican par'y and William Howard laft have been. But don't, it tickle you to thick what a greatVnan they said Taft was four years ago? And now don't it nmv.se you to th(ink what a change William has made in these few short years? I'm a no tion to join the party Jv.t for the fun o! the thing. But this new party has done more good than merely giving the. "jin- rs" another; party o join. It has dug the grave for the G. O. P., one o;""the bliggest enemies the masS3S have ever had. The poor old ele phant, when last ve saw lam was so poor he looked like he could eat en bales of hay at cue meal. But beter still, it has made a wo-rir.g circus right here , in Ran dolph coupty that wil give the voters more amusement than any show that ever came to the county It remjinds me of a railway wreck i saw once. The locomotive ran into an open switch. The front) wheels started on the side-track, and the rear wheels on the main line. It didn't go but a few feet until it was lying across the track, a com plete wreck, with its trucks buried a yard or more fn the ground So it will be with those two crowds thati met in those two con ventions the other day, the one at the armory, the other over the Na tional Bank.- They remind us of man trying to walk to Greensboro i.nd High Pcjint at one and the same time. When he gets to the fork, of the roads, and one foot starts up one road and the other foot starts up the other road, should like to have you tell me whaf the consequence will be. Will there net te a split? And don't you think this progressiradical par ty will split? There is' only one hope. There aire a large number of the members in he "Big I's" gaxg who have jefln t'd parties and twisted about polit ically till they are as pliable as rub .er. When the Taft, foot gets little distance up the road toward Greensboro the "Big 1. foot wlU stretch and stretch out in length thus insuring the trip to both cjit- ies without any damage tQ the hy brid gang. But wont' that be a lonfl leg? Of course you understand that i am just using 'the trip to Greensboro and High Point as an illustration to show how they are go ing to manage the affair. They're aot going to these two places n anywhere else- - j Theodore, the Bi I, has shown to the world what a modern Julius 3aesar can do. IX he can't make a political party nominate him he can rain It, and drive It down o de feat. He is the greatest man of the kind the century has produced. He has showa the American) people that he could make Taft President, and now he is going to show them that he can keep him out of tie of fice. i There hasn't been a man like him since the days of the Emperor Ne ro. (Old Dinger Bill says fit was Zero, and Zeke says it was Nerus ) "hey've got things mixed. He walked over to Rome, and spat at the" Pope, and then stirred up the Eg?' ' . almost as bad as Moses !r that' he drove his two- Picnic at West Bend. Large, crowds attended the Sun day school celebration and picnic at West Bend near town last Saturday There was preaching in the morn ing by Rev. Amos Gregson, followed by a short but excellent talk by the pastor, Rev. Mr. McNeer. Following the morning services, a sumptuous picnic dinner and feagt of luscious watermelons was served. There was plenty for all and some left. The school was disappointed by) the enforced absence of Solicitor Ham mer and Mr. J. A. Spence. How ever, the time alloted to them was well employed by an Interesting ad dress by Mr- J. M. ATlen, of Ashe boro. It was a delightful day for all who were present, and renewed in terest has been aroused in behalf of he Sunday school. RANDOLPH S. S. CONVENTION Over One Hundred Delegate At tend Twenty Third Annual Con . vention at Randleman i ,4t . . f V ' - 5 r-i, .1 1 F 1 Hon- Locke Craig our next Gov erncr, who will speak in ahcboro Saturdr.y, September T- iftpd circu.' iitross; the continent f Europe, or.d gr.ve 'he potentates isoi.ures on running their business: When he got back to America every body close to him knew that he was mad at Bill, because Bill hadn't nt a delegation to the wilde' of Africa to search for him in the jun- sles and ask him' how to run the government. Well, whether it would have been wise for Bill to Jo that 'or not, he's paying for not doing it. Let me close this letter by spying that you Democrats may laugh all you please, but one thing sure, Ted- ly has. got the money. George W Perkins and the Harvester Trust aie right Demna nim watn me dough, and when it comes to the money question "Big I" will have it cv the millions a! ore than that. they ure going to cpf.nd it; right and left, and that is why you see certain mett running to get on his band wagon. They've observed such proceedings until they can tell wher -vork. the shower is going k fall wnn a lot more accuracy than Willis L. I Moore can tell when il is likely to rain. " Then, all the trusts tha& Tart ha& beeft playing hide and seek with in, the courts are tired of play ing, and since Taft won' quit iv game, they've gone over to Teddy, and they are to furnh(h the dough and he is to furnish the hot air It is a business understanding they have with the Big I. They are to have a protectee tariff of any size they want, and he is to be boss. The man who does not think Geo, W. Perkins is a progressive is out of his right mind. He has been noted for. progress in making his bank account grow, If the Demo crats and the common people lose this election I woudn't give you en cents 'for the future of the Dem ocratic party or the common people el'-her. It is to be the sixteenth d cislve battle in the history of the world. If the mighty hunter and hot aftr artist wins we just as well make him emperor, czar, anything else he wants to be. Of course I have not yet decided whether I'll Join the "Progressives" or not. It all depends on how they talk to me. I'm almost sure that all the rest exnect something for (heir trouble, and I don't care join it until I am sure it wjlll pay Bui I'd like for you to tii me tne thing what will the postmasttei and revenue officers do? Very truly yours, Mike Dooganshield. On Thursday, . August 23d, the twenty-third annual convention of 'be Randolph county Sunday School Association met in the School Audi torium at Randleman.

The county officers should all be piaced on salaries as a matter of business and common sense as well as economy, and there should be a moderate reduction from the present rate of fees the people have to pay. The common free schools of the county and the whole state should be kept free from political manipu lation, and should be improved and made more serviceable to common people, and there should not be any further appropriation to high schools and colleges until these schools for. all the people are bet- nrnvlAo fn tHon . thpv hare . been- There should no4 be any wild op position to corporations, but all cor porations, makirg their profits from privileges individuals do not have, should be required to at least pay taxes in proportion to the tiaxesj paid by the poor people- A statewide primary law for both parties on the same day ai:d for all offices, should be enacted, and in connection with it a .corrupt prac tice act that will prevent the wrong- . ful use of money Hn e'.ecUons- If the State t?ll should not ba p.:ssedr the law should be enacted ftr Ran dolph county anyway, and this meth od will give the poorest vokr an The report of the elementary woric cppcrtvi ity o tse his influ- was given by M!ss Berta Eltison, of i pnce wlth t,.e ores j,0 generally Franklinville.
