DEFENDS MR. C. C. MOORE.
Mr.
McD. Watkins Pays a Splendid
Tribute to Him.
Editor The News and mes-Democrat.
Having been a member of the con
vention that elected Mr. C. C. Moore
president of the North Carolina divis
ion of the Southern Cotton Associa
tion, I feel it somewhat incumbent up
on myself to reply to the communica
tion of Mr. T. C. Gibson in refence to
Mr. Moore, in his absence. I assume
that Mr. Gibson's article that the office
of State President of the Southern Cot
ton Association of North Carolina was
one much sought for by many candi
dates from all over the State. Ihe
truth of the matter is, that when Mr.
Moore was elected it was done by ac
clamation, just as was the case when
elected president of the Mecklenburg
association. After being elected, for a
few moments he could not be found,and
being found and apprised of his elec
tion he respectfully declined the hon
or stating that he could not see his
way clear to accept. After some ef
fort, however, he was prevailed upon
to do so.
Upon examination we found he naa
good reasons not to do so, for we
found that his predecessor.Col.John S.
Cunningham had worked one whole
year without any pecuniary recoiB-,
pense, not even expenses except atj
three places; had traveled over thej
State making speeches at his own ex-j
not set a lot of j
abuse' for not organizing the State.
None of the officials had gotten any
pay for last year's work except the
secretary and treasurer and he report
ed the State treasury of the associa
tion empty.
When Mr. Moore was escorted to the
chair he moved with great relutance.
He reminded me of a pair of oxen
that I, when a boy, undertook to break
to work. When they moved at ail it
was backward instead of forward and
that movement was promoted by twist
ing their tails and stopping their noses
Mr. McNeill, of Fayetteville, sitting by
my side, remarked as Mr. Moore was
hemp- cflrred almost bodily to the
chair, "That that was a sight that he
had never before witnessed in North
Pfirnlina office seeking the man.
The delegates representing the State
seemed very anxious to get it organ
ized and they could hear of no success
ful organization except in tne couuues
of Union and Mecklenburg. Mr.
Moore's capacity as an organizer had
preceded him over the State, hence
the anxiety of the delegates to put him
in. the lead.. He. accepted this position
without knowing where he was to get
one dollar to provide for those who
were dearest to him at home. And now
to get any remuneration, whatever, for
his work and time he will have to or
ganize all the cotton counties of the
State on the same basis as was done in
Mecklenburg.
It is certainly uncharitable and un
reasonable for the public to expect
anyone to do so much work just for
patriotism. It was well known by
everybody that Mr. Moore was a can
didate for the office of Superior Court
clerk before he commenced this
work even for Mecklenburg county.
Notwithstanding that fact he
was elected president of the Mecklen
burg association and we all know the
value of his work here and how little
he has received for it. So far he has
shown himself to be the most efficient
organizer in the State. I am sure that
Capt. S. B. Alexander and Mr. W. A.
Grier, of Steele Creek, both of whom
were present at his election in' Raleigh,
will bear me out in what I have stated
about him at the time of his election.
Unless Mr. Gibson, or some one else,
will provide for his family I think that
the unselfish public might let him
alone and let him come home if he
wants to. The salaries of the offices
of the Southern Cotton Association are
still uncertain quantities. The asso
ciation itself is yet in its infancy. No
one particularly seems to feel indebted
to the organization for its good work,
and will pay for it only what and when
they think proper. The North Carolina
Cotton Association will not be a known
quantity until Mr. Moore or some one
else makes it so.
I have rubbed up against Mr. Moore
for the last 20 years or more in the
dairy business. I have withered un
der many a hard lick that he dealt me,
but . have never yet known him to
strike below the belt and I feel safe
in stating that the historic county of
Mecklenburg never raised a son more
loyal to his friends, his county and
his State.
When his present work of organiza
tion is finished it does seem mete and j
proper that some other county should
furnish a son willing and worthy and
patriotic enough to take up the work
where he leaves it.

"MAKES YOU WELL ALL OVER."
New Scientific Remedy that Gets at
The Joints from the Inside.
When you get up in the morning
with a headache, pains in the joints
and muscles, and a dark brown taste
in the mouth, it is ample proof that
your blood is in bad condition. Pills
and stimulants may give you tempo
rary relief, but they will not cure.
RHEUMACIDE goes right to the
seat -.1 the trouble, sweeps all the
germs and poisons out of the blood,
cleans up every "plaugue spot" in the
body and "makes you well all over."
RHEUMACIDE tones up the stomach,
relieves indigestion and constipation,
regulates the liver : and kidneys and
restores each organ to its natural fun
ctions., By building up the entire system
RHEUMACIDE fortifies you against
La - Grippe, Pneumonia and winter
colds. Through its cleaning of the
blood it wards off Malaria and pre
vents Spring Fever.
No other medicine has yet been
found that cures rheumatism to stay
cured. A remedy that , is powerful
enough to cure Rhemuatism also re
moves the germs of all other blood dis
eases.'': '-.
Powerful as it is. RHEUMACIDE is
a purely vegetable remedy that does
not even harm the stomach of a baby
and acts entirely through nature's
channels.
