THE HENDEltSOK GOLD LEAF THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1904.
VOTE THE WHOLE TICKET.
Do Not Let Prejudice or Personal Feel
ing Cause You to Scratch the Name
of Any Democrat.
Jt in apparent that the Republi
cans have not the faintest hope of
defeating any Democratic nominee
upon the State ticket. The election
of everr one of our nomineea on the
State ticket is certain, and their
majorities will he large. While the
Republicans do not expect to accom
plish the defeat of any of our candi
dates, . is apparent that they are
making determined efforts to cause
Judge P rank I). Winston, our nom
inee for Lieutenant-Governor, to run
behind -he ticket. The Republicans
have a grudge against him and have
gone to considerable expense to carry
on a campaign especially against
him. It is easy to understand why
they dislike Judge Winston. He has
for Several years been one of the most
earnest workers in our party. He
has gone everywhere the committee
has requested. His voice, his efforts,
his means have been at the disposal
of the party, and have been freely
used by the party.
He is especially objectionable to
the Republicans for several reasons.
In 181)8, when the State was under
thecontrol of Russell, Butler, Thomp
son, and all that crowd, and few of
us hoped we would le able to redeem
it that year, Frank Winston was
asked to take charge of the White
Supremacy Clubs. He left his busi
ness, came to Raleigh, and gave al
most his whole time that fall to put
ting that effective plan in operation.
As you know, it was one of the most
Iiowerful campaign engines ever
;nown in this State. It did as much,
if not more, than any other one thing
in overthrowing Fusionism. F. I).
Winston was at the head and front
of this organization from its ineep
cion t o t he completion of its mission.
This is an unpardonable sin in the
yes of the Fusionists.
During that campaign he was
asked to run for the legislature in
Rertie county, and consented to
moke the race, as well as to organize
White Supremacy Clubs. To the sur-
nse and dismay of the Republicans,
le was elected, came to the legisla
ture, and was one of the men who
framed the Constitutional Amend
ment, making White Supremacy per
manent. He introduced one of the
separate car, or "Jim Crow" bills,
and helped push those bills to final
enactment. In the amendment cam
paign of 11)00 he was heard on many
stumps, always advocating our cause
effectively.
-No wonder the Republicans have a
grudge against this man. Hut it will
be strange indeed if Democrats for
get his services in so short a time
and neglect to vote for him. It will
be unfortunate if any Democrat shall
gratify the Republicans' hopes by
scratching his name from the ticket.
The Republicans are fighting him tie
cause he is a Democrat and because
of his services to the Democratic
party.
As chairman of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee, I earn
estly request you to use your influence
between this time and the day of
election, and especially at the polls
on election day. Se that there is no
scratching of unv of our tickets.
F. M. SIMMONS,
Chairman.
ROWLAND--PARHAM.
I;
Wedding of a Popular Young Couple
Celebrated at the Home of the Bride
Near Oxford.
Communicated.
Middleiu rg, N. C, Oct. 22. Amid ideal
surroundings at Oak Glen, the truly beau
tiful home of Mrs. Emma Parbam, three
miles Cast of Oxford, Oct. 18, at 2 p. m.,
was solemnized the marriage of Miss
Blanche Parbam and Mr. Junius Moore
Rowland, of Middleburg. The marriage
was quiet, because of the delicate health
of the bride's mother. The ceremony was
impressively performed by Rev. W. II.
Pucket. pastor of Salem M. E. Church.
The decorations were ferns, palms and
white chrysanthemums, the color scheme
being white and green. An especially
pretty part of the decoration was two
magnificent candelebras used at the mar
riage of the bride's moth?r. As they
shone against a beautiful plate glass
mirror the effect was beautiful and
dazzling.
The wedding march was exquisitely
rendered by Mrs. J. II. Gooch, nee Miss
Sudie Hunt. As the sweet strains of the
ever alluring march sounded, Masters
Joe Parham and Harry Rowland, neph
ews of the bride, entered bearing lighted
candles and took their positions on small
pedestals just back of the minister. Next
came little Misses Janie Rowland and
Lena Parrish, nieces of the bride and
groom, respectively, strewing flowers for
the bride to walk over. Many were the
bountiful wishes that this beautiful cus
tom might lie a symbol of the bride's
journey through life.
The gentlemen wore Prince Albert coats,
white vests and striped trousers. The
two ushers, Messrs. George Parham, of
Oxford, and Thomas II. Crocker, of Mid
dleburg, came in together. Next came
the maid of honor, Miss Mamie Hawkins
Parham, wearing white voile with
pleated chiffon trimmings and carrying a
bouquet of pink carnations and maiden
hair ferns, tied with white ribbon.
Then the groom with his best man and
brother, Mr! W.T. Rowland, followed by
the bride, leaning upon the arm of her
brother, Mr. Elvyn Parham. She was a
vision of loveliness in white silk with
pearl and lace trimmings, and carried a
bouquet of white carnations. Her veil
was caught with a duster of pearls, the
gift of the groom.
The bride is the youngest daughter of
the late Joseph Parham, long a leading
citizen of Granville county. She is a
young woman of beauty and culture,
and has a sweet grace of manner that is
irresistible and absolutely charming.
The groom is the youngest son of the
late T. P. Rowland, and has inherited
much of his father's push and enterprise,
and while jet young, is a man of affairs,
being a large planter and stock raiser.
The presents to the bride were numer
ous and exceedingly handsome.
After a most delightful luncheon the
bridal party left for Middleburg, the home
of the groom, where a splendid reception
and supper was tendered by the groom's
mother.
Confederate Veterans.
KitiHtou Free Presa.
Our Republican friends are liewnil
ing the alleged fact that Democracy
has gone back on the old Confederate
soldier. They say that this indict
ment is clearly proven by the fact
that (Jen. Julian S. Carr and Hoi..
Cyrus Watson both failed of election
to the United States Senate at the
hands of the Democratic party.
It seems that these gentlemen them
selves do not regard the Democratic
party as having forsaken them, or
the cause of the old soldier either.
The election of a Confederate soldier
to an office, and the loving care of
Confedera te veterans are two entire! v
distinct propositions.
What does the Democratic party
say about Confederate veterans ?
Here is its platform declaration:
"The Democratic party established
the system of pensioningConfederate
soldiers and opened the Soldiers'
Home to the care of the veterans who
responded to the call of the State in
the war between the States Every
dollar given them was appropriated
or forced by the Democratic legisla
tures or Democrat ic public sentiment.
We pledge the party to a fuller dis
charge of a debt that can never 1k
fully paid to these aging heroes who
offered their lives as a sacrifice upon
the altars of their country."
Hut the Democratic party has done
more than simply insert" platform
declarations on the subject.
In 1S85 the first pension law was
passed by the Democratic legislature,
appropriating $30,000 for certain
classes of disabled Confederate sol
diers, and that law has been amended
by Democratic legislatures, until to
day the appropriation amounts to
1200,000 annually, and from 1885
until now the Confederate pensioners
have received $1,G38,0(H.
For the totally blind and totally
disabled Confederate soldiers the
Democratic legislature passed a law
allowing them $120 a year. That
class received last year $11,280, and
they Lave received in all $99,315.00.
The Soldiers' Home was organized
by the Democratic legislature of
1891, and there was expended that
year $2,250. That has gradually in
creased from year to year until this
year the appropriation amounted to
$15,000; There has been paid to the
Soldiers' Home since its organization
$130,500.
With these hard facts staring citi
zens in the face, is it not simply
ridiculous for Republicans to tafk
about the Democracy turning its
back on the old veteran? Not one
penny of public money was ever ap
propriated to the old soldiers of
North Carolina except by authority
of Democratic legislation.
Does the Democratic party feel an
interest in the old Confederate soldier
and attempt to look out for his ma
terial welfare?
The facts answer for themselves.
Confessions of a Priest.
Rev. Jon. S. Cox, of Wake, Ark., writes.
"For 12 years I suffered from Yellow Jaun
dice. I consulted a number of physicians
and tried all sorts of medicines, but got no
relief. Then I began to use Electric Bitters
and feel that I am now cured of a disease
that had me in its grasp for twenty years."
If you want a reliable medicine for Liver and
Kidney trouble, stomach disorder or general
debility, get Electric Bitters. It's guaran

PERT PARAGRAPHS.
Some men only keep a stenographer
so that they can charge her up with
their poor spelling.
It is small comfort to the man who
cannot afford an automobile to know
that walking is such healthful exer
tlse. Perhaps it is in the hope that he will
grow that a small man generally
wears clothes one size too large for
him.
You can't hire a hen to lay an egg.
AH things
come to him
who waits ex
cept the paper
hangers and
decorators.
A tempest in a
teapot is not to
be sneezed at
these days if in
-r " ? -v. r-- it is Japanese
, ,r v-r-,.- tea.
In the hands of some janitors not
even a new broom sweeps clean.
The man who advertises that he is
looking for trouble generally takes the
street car the other way when be sees
it coming.
Sometimes the politicians pick new
men for office because it is easier to
get money out of them than from sea
soned campaigners.
The man with a theory as to how to
live 100 years could prove it if he
could just live long enough to demon
strate it.
Moments that are lost never return,
hut others as distressing are bound
to show up.
No man who thoroughly understands
woman should get married unless be
wants to have his theories jarred.
A mau who can be firm without be
ing obstinate is tit to start a school
for teaching diplomacy by mail.
Questions of the day that are settled
by a woman's club do not necessarily
remain that way.
Different Point of View.
Ttis party, he was very sure.
Had motives sweet and purpose pure;
That Its Ideals were so high
That they at times brushed oft the sky.
He knew that voters In its ranks
Were good and true and that the cranks
Were over on the other side.
And where the bosses ran things wide.
He knew that these things were the case.
But that was when he held a place.
And from the public crib drew pay
In cash at Ave or six a day.
He lost his job to one more strong;
Then he could see that things were
wrong.
And even on the other side
He thought some virtue might abide.
One Thing Lacking.
"It does not seem possible that men
lived to be 300 years old during the
early days of history."
"Why not?"
"Tobacco was not discovered, and the
papers could not say that they had
smoked ever since they were six years
old."
Different Effects.
A drop of ink
Makes millions think,
propped on the writing desk or chair
It makes men swear.
A Softer Brush,
"I never could love a man with
whiskers."
Tou're prejudiced. They are much
pleasanter to love than one with a
beard of two days' growth."
