What Burlington Most Have.
Anotlier Tol»acco Wareboase.
Another Railroad Line.
Both are under contemplation, with fair prospects of success, it
is up to our citizens to render aid and encouragement, What are
you going to do, what aid are you going to give? Every business
mani and every other intelligent penM>n knows what these things
will mean to Burlington, Without.another Railroad we cannot;
grow any faster, than heretofore, without another warehouse we j
are in aai>ger of losing our. excellent tobacco market, we cannot i
stand still, we must not go backward. Every shoulder to the
wheel, vritii a long pull, and a strong pull, and a pull altogether
aiid success will crown our efforts.
What This OiuDfy Needs.
W^t this TOunty heeds is for all of its best citizens to come tOr;
§ ether and agitie upon, and nominate a county ticket, cbmpoeed of
iie brat men in all pa^es for tiie different county offices; and then
go but and eliect the ticket, if the nren now holding office appear
to be the best for the various positions nominate them, if oja the
other hand it is the sense of the mass convention that other men
^ better qualified to fill th^e positions now held by the present
incumbents, then nominate them, and while in this mass meeting
or convention discuss ways and meaas to cut down expenses, re
duce the county indebtness, and prevent another increased assess
ment, or an increased rate of taxation, one or both is sure to come
and that speedily unless something along this line is done, we are
in a bad row of stumps. It is no us^ for the Republican party to
nominate a ticket unless they can better present financial condi
tions, it would be bette** for the democrats not to nominate a
ticket unless they can devise some; means to better conditisns,
there is no just or good excuse for thle good old county of Alamance
to be grounded upon the rocks of financial distress, what steps,
tax-payers are you going to adopt to protect your interests, you
are surely playing a losing game now, will you change umpires,
put a new catcher behind the bat, select a good short stop, snd
try a new pitcher, with,a tried and true sight fielder? The bases
are full of debts, the batter has jusi ki)ocked a foul, and you are
threatened with a home run bond issue, if you won’t vote it, there
will be a slide in through the next le^^islature, are you satisfied with
the umpire? Now is time to have you say, before the game is
called.

the working people of the 0nited

goes as a great politi cal party
can declare under prese nt indus-
tiial and , political conditiohs-T:
that is with any, degree of ass^
urance of being enacted into
law.”
Gompers said no other questions
in the platform were discussed
and when asked what particular
phases w«re considered, said;
“We discussed that part of
the platform which applies to the
issuance of injunctions and con
tempt proceedings growing out
of the writ. ' \
“We alsio discussed the declar
ation that voluntary associations
of workingmen should not pro
perty come under the provisions
of the Sherman Antitrust Law,
as being in illegal restraint of
trade, but should be treated as
associations of men^womeB deal
ing in product and not organ
ized for profit
‘ We also discussed the declar
ation in regards tq the proper
manning of vessels and the abo
lition of involunatary servitude
for sermbn.”
Hr. Gompers said that he and
his collea^es were actiugas j,e»^
voysa£v;the

make it.”
He also asked whether Presid

Roosevelt would also be interv

platform as “a magnificent pie&e
of literary production and pun-
ctuaticm, but in so fat as it affec

In addition to Gompers, the
American Federation was repre

not require an extra allotme’ht of
time for her to decide what was
best to be done^ but whieii the
time came for a decision in bus
iness matters her mind acted qui
ckly and nearly always correctly.
Her husband reli^ upon her
to a great extent in the pfosecu-
tion of the affairs of life.
^ in her home she was almost
a modle, her children knew to
obey her. She contxolled th«Q
through the power of loVe and a
sweet disposition. In this sac
red place she was stronger than
any other. She was a help to
husband a guide to her children
and all who entered her hoisM
realized that they were in the
presence of one who could make
them fieiel perfectly at home
without an effort to do so; Every
one felt at &ase with her.
Early in life shejohied the Bap
tist church at Love’s Creek m
Chatham eounty, and was faith
ful to that chort^ until about a
year ago when she connected
herselt with Front Street Meth
odist church in Bmrlmgtoii with
her hi^band. She was always
true to her church vows and it
was a j^l .cro^ to her not to
able to attend upon its services.
Her life was consistent with
her profession. She loved to
talk about Christ and what he
had done for her. Her greatest
joy was in Him;
H^ funeral was held by her
pastor in Front Street church
last Saturday morning and the
many who attend attested her
popularity in the community.
She: leaves a husband, three chil
dren a father and, three broth
ers and two sisters to mourn their
loss. May God bless them and
sustain them.
