Good many people are criti cising the people of Wilson on account of the endorsement of Sam Vick for postmaster, but they do not underscaiul the cir cumstances under which it was done. They have never asked that a negro be appointed as postmaster there, but the Re publicans are trying to make it appear that if Vick was appoint ed, it would be on account of the Democrats of Wilson asking for his re-appointment instead of Boykin, a white man. They only said that Vick wus a good, honest, straightforward negro, but that they preferred a white man if the right sort would ap ply. They only give the truth in'the matter and now some are trying to censure them for tell ing tlie truth. Pritchard made the statement in his Sniithfield speech that he would have every negro re moved from office in North Car olina, and has recommended, the removal of Vick solely upon the ground that lie is a negro. It is clearly proven here that the best friends the negroes have are the white people, who are opposed to the negro politically. The Democrats will forever oppose negro voting, but they will see that lie has his rights. If the President should appoint Vick as postmaster, it will be a matter over which the \\ ilson people nave 110 control. When he was appointed in 1597 they were not consulted and why should they be now? If Mr. Roosevelt thinks he can help the Republican party by keep ing Vick in he will do it. re gardless of what the people say. Should he think Pritehard's Lilly White movement the best, lie will appoint a white man. We do not believe that this spat over the post mastership will break any ties between the President and Mr. Pritchard. . * Anyter Notes. Crossties are being laid for extension of the C.

Reeves, Dr. A. B. McQueen, formerly of Cumberland county but for several month's a citi zen of Angier, led to the hy menial altar Miss Edna Barker, a most charming young lady, 'Squire T. A. Smith, officiating. They have a host of friends here who wish for them much suc cess and happiness through life. M. Senator Lodge will not at tempt to secure the gold stand ard for the Philippines. For monumental indecision and dil letantincompetence recommend us to the bosom friend of the President. Mr. Roosevelt says there will undoubtedly be periods of de pression, the wave will recede." How can it bo? Is not prosper ity made by the tariff? Then why not prevent periods of de pression by maintaining the tariff? Is Mr. Roosevelt pre dicting Democratic victories ? Spinster's Parly. On last Friday night q"ite a crowd of young people gathered at the home of Mr. V. L. Steph ens and were highly entertained for several hours. The young ladies of the town gave a recep tion to the young men. It was under the supervision of Miss Ross Smith and Miss Caddie Purvis and it was clearly shown that they knew how to make young people enjov themselves. Although the weather was inclement, P v early all ol those who were invited were present. A list of questions were given each and a prize offered to the 1.-ne answering all these, bev eral gave the correct answers. They were Mr. and Mrs. E. 14.I 4 . Young, Misses Olive Daniel, Meta Harpor and Dr. ('has. Highsmith. A book-was cut to decide who should be the suc sessful one. Dr. Highsmitb seemed to be an expert and won the prize. Refreshments were served in abundance, and everything pos -ible was done by this congen ial family to make the evening i pleasant one The occasi' n will be long remembered. The The eleven o'clock hour dawned, it seemed, earlier than ever he fore. The crowd dispersed feel ing that they had a longer lease on life and with congratulations for those who gave to them such a pleasant evening.

Big Show in Randolph. An Election Bet That Will Be Paid in Liberty the Day Before Christmas. Mr. M, J. Reitzel, of Liberty, Randolph county, was in Ra leigh yesterday returning from a. business trip in Eastern North Carolina. He was making his way to Liberty so as to be in plenty of time for the great event that is to take place in that town on the day before Christmas, at o o'clock in the afternoon. During the campaign Mr. Reitzel, who is an ardent and prominent Democrat of Ran dolph county, made the state ment in the town of Libeat} 7 that Prof. Joyner's majority over Dr. Long would exceed fifty thousand ; whereupon Mr. R. A. Smith, of Liberty, who felt sure that Mr. Joyner would be elected, but did not think that the majority coul-.l be any thing so large, made the propo sition to Mr. Reitzel that, if Joyner had less than fifty thou sand majority, that Mr. Reitzel roll liini in a wheel-barrow from t.'ic depot at Liberty to Sam Boggs' and back, which would take them through the principle business and residence portions of the city. It was part of the agreement that the man who rolled the wheel-barrow was to wear a Cleveland beaver, red vest and white duck shoes. If the majority should be over fifty thousand. Mr. Smith was to ride Mr. Reitzel along the same route similarly attired. Inasmuch as the majority of Mr. Joyner was something like sixty-seven thousand, Mr. Smith will be costumed as above de scribed and Mr. Reitzel in his . Sunday best, will be in the seat o! honor. The agreement between Mr. Reitzel and Mr. Smith is widely known in Randolph, and every body is getting ready to go to Liberty to see the performance on December 24th. It will be the biggest sight seen in Liberty since the day of Herman Hus bands. Remember the day and date —the only "big show on earth."—News & Observer. Hancock's Liquid Sulphur baths are superior to those of the most celebrated sulphur springs, having the additional advantage of being made any desired strength. Taking med icine by absorption into the sys tem through the skin by taking medical baths is a very efficient method of obtaining a constitutional treatment. It never fails to cure eczema and all blood and skin diseases.
