call at each township for taxes. This call cannot be made earlier as court interfers. On Thurs
day, Dec. 3, I will deliver the books to'deputies for the several townships for collection. After
that date I will have no deputy at the Court House and will receive no taxes myself, except
for township I ride myself, each and every one being required to pay to the township deputy.
Costs will be added by deputies and collections enforced by law unless payment is promptly
made. Thanking you for promptly meeting me and settling amount due, I am,

| Limiting Lawyer's Speeches.
_____
The Greensboro Record says
that .Judge Shaw, holding Guil
ford Superior Court, succeeded,
last Friday afternoon, in get
ting the four attorneys in a suit
being tried, to limit their
speeches fifteen minutes each,
and that thus a half day was
saved, and The Record remarks
that "the law giving the pre
siding judge power to limit de
bate should be restored by all
means." This proposition is
eminently sound. A great deal
of time is consumed unneces
sarily in our courts in argu
ments by attorneys, and no one
knows this as well as them
selves. The best class of them
would hail with satisfaction the
restoration to the judge of au
thority to limit the number and
length of arguments to the
jury. It is so in the United
States courts, and nobody suf*
fers. It was formerely so in
the State courts but many years
ago, as many, perhaps as
twenty-five, Judge Watts, hold
ing court in Johnson county,
was alleged to have abused the
power and out of this grew the
present condition. The old or
der of things should be restored
and in saying this we mean to
imply nothing against the law
yers —the salt of the earth.
They are wholly at fault, for a
litigant, employing say three
of them in his case, does not
think they have earned their
fees unless each of shem speaks
as long and as loud as his phy
sical condition will permit.—

Change The Platform-Makers.
The Journal is finding iteelf
in good company and in society
that is growing numerically.
The death of President McKin
ley has worked a revolution in
the South; Iloosevelt is dis
trusted and patriotic. South
erners begin to realize that
their hopes of improved condi
tions can only "reach fruition
through the success of the Dem
ocratic party. That success,
however, is absolutely impossi
ble while visionaries and
dreamers dictate its platforms
and name its candidates. It
becomes a patriotic duty, then,
to devote our efforts to improv
ing things in the Democratic
party; put the old guard on
duty; the kind % of men who
elected • Tilden and Cleveland
and appealed to the better sen
timent of the whole country:
men who occupy safe, conserva
tive middle ground between the
rapacious, plunging, partisan
recklessness that is the chief
characteristic of Republicanism,
and the unsophisticated, vision
ary, disintegrating theorizing
of Populism.
It is time to change the plat
form makers.—.Winston Jour

HAVE A HOME OF YOUR OWN.
They are a wise young man
and woman who start out in
their married life in a home of
their own in some place where,
they will have green grass
about their house even if it is
only a few feet. It makes no
difference how humble or how
modest the house may be. The
smallest box of a house with a
plot of green is a temple of
common-sense compared to the
finest '"Hat" or ''boarding
house" in the city. If there is
anything appropriate in this
life it is that young people
should live somewhere, where
each day they can see their own
unfolding lives reflecting in the
unfolding workings of nature.
There is no beginning, in the
home sense, to the young mar
ried life so true, so wise, so
lasting and satisfactory as that.
No life in .a city is comparable
with that which is lived in a
small house with green things
growing over and around it,
where God's pure sunshine
bathes and sweetens every side
of the house during the day,
and where the surest life-giving
odors that God gives to his
children : the odors of soil and
growing things, are blown into
the house while we sleep.—Ed

Advice to Negroes.
Gov. Ajcock Addresses Them
1 at Their Fair in Raleigh.
O
5
Governor Aycock last week
at the State Fair Grounds at
Raleigh opened the Thirty-
Second Annual Negro Fair
He said in part:
"I wish the colored people of
North Carolina to understand
bv every act of mine that I am
the Governor of the entire State
and all its people, and that
every interest which concerns
any individual is a matter of
importance to me. It has been
gratifying to me that those to
whom I have been opposed po
litically have recognized the
real feeling which exists in my
heart. The colored people of
North Carolina are entitled to
much credit for what they have
done. At the close of the war
there were many who had great
apprehension as to the conduct
which would result from the
freedom of the -negro. I am
glad to be able to state that
that apprehension proved to be
unfounded. Your conduct ill
the main has been admirable.
You have surpassed expecta
tions. You have been sober,
law-abiding and industrious.
You have created more value
in freedom than you did in
slavery, and, taking all in all,
you deserve the thanks of the
Commonwealth.
"But you will pardon me as
one who is a friend of yours for
speaking to you to-day words
which may seem unkind, but
are, in fact, kind because truth
ful. There are many things in
your freedom which you have
neglected. There are many
things yet for you to do. In
glancing through the criminal
statistics of the State I find that
while your race constitutes one
third of the population of North
Carolina, you commit one-half
of the crimes. 1 am not un-
mindful of the fact that your
race is poor and weak and (
without the influence of the
dominant race, and that, there- '
fore, in proportion to actual '
crime committed a few more j
are indicted than would be if
you were rich and powerful
with the influences which tend
to suppress indictments. But
1 the proportion of crime in your
l . race is startling and dangerous
and one which ought evoke
"your most earnest considera
' t-ion.
' "It may not be inappropriate
1 for me upon this occasion to
express to you that recent
events occurring in the nation
may not unduly excite you and
that you will still remember
that your best friends are those
who live in your State. What
you wish, what you need more
than recognition by the Presi
dent or other people in authori
ty is the establishment among
yourselves of a society founded
upon culture, intelligence and
virtue, and in no wise depend
ent upon those of a different
race. The law which separates
you from the white people in
the State socially always has
been and always will be inexor
able, and it need not concern
you nor me whether that law is
violated elsewhere, for it will
| never be violated in the South
! Its violation would be to your
destruction as well as to the
1 injury of the whites. No
1 thqughtful, conservative and
' upright Southerner has for
1 your race aught but the kindest
j feeling, and we are willing and
anxious to see you grow into
the high citizenship of which
you are capable, and we are
willing to give our energies and
I best thought to aid you in the
( great work necessary to make
r you what you are capable of
. and to assist you in that eleva
. lion of character anJ virtue

which tends to the strengthen

"But to do this it is absolute
; ly necessary that each * race
should remain distinct and
* have a society of its own. In
' side of you'V own race
you can grow as large and
1 broad and high as'tJod permits,
' with the aid, the sympathy and
' the encouragement t>f your
' white neighbors. If you can
| equal the white race in acliieve
; rnent, in scholarship,;in art, in
. industry aud in com'm.erce- you
will find no generous-minded
white man . who will stand in
; your way, but all of them in
the South will insist that you
shall accomplish this high end
without social intermingling.
And this is well, for you ; it is
well for us; it is necessary for
the peace of our section ; it is
essential to the education of
your children that there should
be no misunderstanding upon
this point. lam sure that you
agree with me in wlmt I have
said, and in the spirit of one
who is the Governor of the
whole peopje, without regard
to race, I bid you God speed in
the great work of upbuilding
