THE WROnilESSION
In view of an article in last
weeks Burlington News, styling
Mr. J. Zeb. Waller as the “Old
War Horse of Democracy,” Mr.
Waller sets himself straight in a
letter addressed to the editoi* of
the News, wdlich is as follows:
Mr. Editor;—Kindly allow me
space in your valuable paper to
thank you for the many kindly
expressions regarding my past
and future political existence. I
notice however, in your last issue
you made a most serious and
grievous mistake when you styled
me “The Old War Horseof Dem
ocracy,” Had. you said that I
have been and am now an un
compromising antagonist of Dem
ocracy, you would have hit the
nail square on the head. The
title, “The Old War Horse of
Democracy, ’ ’ rightfully - belongs
to my good friend Hon. William
Houston Carroll, and if for any
r^son, now to me obscure, I
Homers Store Robbed.
Last Sunday night C. M. Her- i
should at any future time be
come a convert to the ever chang
ing principles of Democracy, I
would not try to wrest that title
from him. He has by iiis bold
and fearless stand won this honor
and were it possible for man to
retain in politics that which
rightfully belongs to him then
Mr. Carroll would always be re
garded, by those who believe in
giving honor to whom honor is
due, the title of "The Old War
Horse of Democracy. But the
Democrats are no better than the
Republicans when it comes to
steam roller methods, and they
too have run the steam roller over
the best Democratic orator and
campaign workers in North Car
olina and the Honorable William
of interest and unusual Hoaston has been crushed be
svliich was plan- j neath its weight and occupies the
same position pohtically that ! do.

It is said that misery likes com
pany, this fact may account in
part for my sympathy just at this
time.
Conditions are ever changing,
and ali great men run their
course, the only rancor ^left in
I our breast is that we run,ours so
! soon. The time has been, and
not so long ago, when I couid call
nearly every man in the Repub
lican party my political and per
sonal friend. But at that time i
had very few personal friends in
the ranks of the party to which
you belong. Now the conditions
are somewhat reversed, by my
aggressive and progressive ideas
I have made many friends who
differ with me politically, while
my political friends, especially
among those who aspire to be
leaders, have -'grown somewhat
smaller. This condition does not
worry me in the least. I pride
myself upon the fact that I have
at all times pursued a consistent
political course and feel confident
that time will vindicate my posi
tion. It is true that I have not
been as intensely bitter partisan
the past few years as formerly,_
this in a measure has led some of
my staunch political friends to be
weaned away from me, and has
given my political enemies a
chance to instill in their minds a
poison, that I was colleaging with
your party, and now that you
come forward and unintentional
ly give color to it, by styling me,
“The Old War Horse of Democ
racy.”
My political enemies are quiet
ly saying “I told you so.” I ani
glad that this class is very few
and will grow less and less when
the true and loyal Republicans
get on to their game, as they
surely will when the time comes
for them to show their hand.
There are some people who are
never satisfied unless engaged in
tearing down that which it has
taken years for others to build
up. Therefore I shall not get
discouraged and abandon the
fight for Republican policies and
candidates. Kindly do not lead
your readers to believe that I am
down and out. It will take some
thing more than a steam roller to
crush the exhilarating life blood
of Repubhcan progress and pros
perity from these bones. I will
be found workingfor the Repub
lican party long after some oth
ers ha /e sulked, turned traitor,
or gone where the woodbine
twineth. I don^t object so much
to being run over occasionally by
the steam roller, but I aiti not go
ing to let them kick me down
stairs. In conclusion, Mr. Editor

The most e’aborate social event
of the'season was an entertain
ment given by Misses Mabel and
Ada Belle Isley at their magnifi
cent home “Oak Crest on West
Davis Street last Thursday night j
from from 9:30 to 12.
The entertainment was given
in honor of Miss Fannie Kilgo,
daughter of Bishop Kilgo of Dur
ham who is the guest of the
Misses Isley.
The hoaiewas brilliantly iilumi-
nated by Japanese lanterns while j ,■
the parlor dinning room andb|’}^,
library were made very attrac-1 nh
tive by the use of potted plants ^
arid cut flowers. , '
The guest were met at the
porch and escorted to the parlor
by Miss Mabel Isley. The punch
bowl, which proved to be the
source from which the thirst was
quenched was placed in the ent
rance of the librarf presided over
by Miss Annie Holt who grace-
fullyserved this delicious refresh
ment.
Several selections of instru
mental, and vocal solos were ren
dered by Misses Kilgo and Lola
Lasley. /
The guest were served refresh
ments consisting of cake and ices
in the dinning room.
Seldom if ever have those pre
sent enjoyed an occasion more
heartily then when entertained
by the Misses Isley.
let me thank you again for the
kind expressions by yourself and
fellow Democrats. I assure you
that I appreciate them all, com
ing as they do from a man and a
party that I have fought bitterly
but fairly, long before I attained
my majority. All this portrays > da]
a better day dawning, and that
the past political rancor and
hatred must give way to princi
ples and men. Again thanking
you, I beg to remain, :
Your political - opponent, but
personal friend.

Mr. Shatterly has served about

Governor Kitchen, as a result of
a large and numerously sign peti:

Shatterly had been sufficiently
punished. The i^rdon was con-^

if lived up to, he will receive a
warm welcome from his former
friends. Mr. Shatteriy has

about ten _days after; receiving

party remains in power. If the
Democrats, however, should be
successful this fall, and “a^in
two years from now, there would
no doubt be the greatest finacial
panic and the largest industrial
slump that ever came to us, with
a subsequent closing of the mills
arid a large reduction in wagelS;
for those who nii^ht remain at
work. This is no idle guess j it
is just as inevitable as that the
night follows the day.
A further revision of the tariff
for instance, which wouM come
with a Democratic administration
would mean lower duties,; greater
importations and displacement
of American production and ^a;
closing up of our mills. It is
conceded, then, that only one re
sult could follow, and that is , a
most stupendous reduction in
American wages, if we aire com
pelled to compete with the lower
priced labor of foreign' compete
with the lower-priced labq)^ of
foreign competitors, So, again,
it is urged upon all voters that
the conditons of twenty years ago
and since be compared and that;
experience be taken as the surest
guide when it comes to the cast
ing of votes on the 8th of next
November.
