HON. WALTER MURPHY
PLEASES HIS AUDIENCE.
Hon. Walter Murphy, of Salisbury,
spoke before a large audience at Nor
wood Saturday afternoon. Little time
was given for announcing that ho
would speak at the court house here
Saturday night. Nevertheless a fair
sized crowd greeted the able speaker
when he appeared at 8 o'clock.
After music by the Efird Band R.
Lane Brown, Esq., introduced to the
audience Luther M. Bost, who repre
resented Stanly in the General As
sembly in 1915. Mr. Bost in a few
well chosen words spoke of how those
who had once been Democrats were
now coming home, eulogized Mr. Mur
phy and prophesied that the orator of
the evening would be the next speaker
in the State House of Representatives.
He then presented Mr. Murphy to the
audience.
' Mr. Murphy in his hour's speech
told of the history of the Democratic
and Republican parties, showing how
that the Democratic party had been
'Id States Rights' party, and the Re-
jsuuuiaii vuu t,uai uau Dtuuu iui n
strong centralized government; that
Democracy had legislated for the
masses, and Republicanism for the
favored few.
The speaker traced legislation un
der the Wilson regime, praising the
President s peace record, the party s
tariff bill, the income tax law, tho!
Federal Reserve Banking System, tho.
Rural Credits Act, army and navy ap
propriations, and the eight-hour law
for the railway employees.
Briefly Mr. Murphy touched on
State politics, showing how the pro
gress that had been made in the State

arguments in a convincing manner. InjtJie long time ot his servu-e v4li the

man from Kentucky who heard him at
Norwood. This Kentuckian had al
ways voted the Republican ticket but
after hearing Mr. Murphy recount the
Democratic record1, went up and told
him that this year he was going to
voto for Wilson. We predict many
such converts to Democracy as a re
sult of Mr. Murphy's speaking.

whose death was recorded in last

ALBEMARLE INSTITUTE
HAS A FINE OPENING
The fall term of the Albemarle
Normal and Industrial Institute open
ed Wednesday morning, September
13, at 10 o'clock, with its capacity
crowded to the limit. On account of
the lack of dormitory space ffbout 40
or 60 girls have been refused admis
sion. The opening addrses was made
by Rev. Leonard Gill of Charlotte.
An interesting address was also made
by Rev. R. P. Walker, of the First
Baptist church of this city. A very
favorable sign at the formal opening
of this institute on this year was the
fact that the exercises were attend
ed by the largest number of Albe
marle citizens that have ever assem
bled at the institute at the opening
exercises and that all of the church
es of the city are extending their
sympathy and co-operation. The va
rious churches of the town were rep
resented by their pastors.

MARTIXOM-MILTOX.
Miss Julia Milton was married to
Harry Martinoni in the Presbyterian
Manse at Chesterfield, S. C, Satur
day. September 16. .
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. S. H. Milton of Albemarle and
has many friends in this section.
The groom is a contractor and has
been engaged in construction work at
Badin since the plant waa started by
the Southern Aluminum Company. He
is highly esteemed by all who know
him.
Mr. and Mrs. Martinoni are making
their home for the present at Badin.
It looks as if Macedonia would need
some one to come over and help her.
THOMAS L. ROSS DIES
Ml PUnDICOTfHI C P
111 UIlnllLLu I Uil. U. U.
Thomas L. Ross, aged nearly 55
years, died in Charleston, S. C, Wed-
nesday afternoon, September 13. He
became ill while on a business trip
to Charleston, suffering a stroke of
apoplexy on Monday, September 11.
Mrs. Ross went from Concord to be
at his bedside. From reports Mr.
Ross, prior to his fatal illness, seem -
ed to be in his usual good health and
his sudden passing proved a shock to
his family, relatives and friends.
M Ross was a son of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Jno. O. Ross, of Albemarle,
1 Here he passed his boyhood and early
manhood years. He attended the Al
bemarle Academy, receiving a good
schooling under the tutelage of the
late Prof. hi. W. spinks. He made
himself useful in the mercantile busi
ness conducted by his father for sev
eral years, thus getting a practical
business training which proved of
good use to him in later life.
Something over 25 years ago he!
formed a desire to learn the cotton
milling business. The late Dr. Lilly,
of Concord, encouraged him to go to
Concord, and this he did.
Wo are indebted to the Concord
Times for facts concerning Mr. Ross's
career after leaving Albemarle: ,
"Mr. . Ross was a cotton mill man
working his way up from the bottom
to the superintendence' of one of the
largest cotton mills in the State. For
several years he was an employee of
tho Odell mills here, and was later
chosen superintendent of the Patter
son Manufacturing Company's mills
at China Grove, a position he held un
til the new mills operated by Mr. Can
non were erected at Kannapolis. Mr,
Ross was at once placed in charge of
tl-rsn mills as snnevnitendnnt. which
samo mills.
"He is survived by his wife and two
children. Ho was married twice, his
first wife being Miss Myrtle Patter-
son, daughter of I. Frank Tatterson,
of China Grove. By this union there
aro no living children. His second
wife was Miss Laura Leslie, of Con
cord. . "Mr. Ross was a Shriner, and the
members of this order at Charleston
gave him every attention possible.
"John C. Leslie, of New York, a
brother-in-law of Mr. Ross, who was
visiting in Concord at the time of his
illness and death, left on train No. 31,
to meet Mrs koss and k iu Aust.n,
Esq., with the remains in Columbia
and return with them On train No. 32.
"The funeral services over the re
mains of Mr. Ross were held at the
t irst Presbyterian church Friday
morning at 11 o'clock, conducted by
ivev. nr. j. m. uner, assistea oy f.evi
Mr
Myers A quartette composed of

services on account of illness.
"The pall-bearers were, Messrs. E.
C. Barnhardt, C. F. Ritchie, G. M.
Lore, E. F. White, P. M. Lafferty,
and J. F. Cannon."
The Times well says that Mr. Ross
numbered his friends by the hun
dreds. Here in Albemarle he was
familiarly known as "Tom," and those
who grew up with him in the village
of Albemarle watched his successful
career as a mill man with pleasure.
