GOLDEN WEDDING.
The Golden Wedding at Lin
colnton Last Monday.
The writer was fortunate in
being included in the party who
went from here to Lincolnton
Monday to take part in the cele
bration of the golden wedding
near that place, Mr. and Mrs. J.
A. Miller being the bride and
groom.
From this place those who :
went were Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Miller, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Re- 1
gan, Miss Oneita Miller, and the
writer. R*v. and Mrs. McNairy
joined us on the train from Le
noir, with little Miss Lisabel. J
Reaching Lincolnton at a little
after eight, we drove out to the 1
old homestead some three or four j
miles from the town; and found J
the good couple in ignorance that I ]
anything special was to be done i
in their honor. The secret had :
been well kept. Besides our i
own party, and Miss Emily Mil- s
ler, only surviving member of *
Mr. j. A. Miller's family, we 1
found Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Miller, £
from Hinton, W. Va.; Mr. Z. S.
Miller, from Montgomery, W.
Va., and Mrs. H. C. Corriher,
from Salisbury. These with Miss
Annie Miller, who lives with her j
parents, completed the circle,
except Mr. C. P. Miller, who c
was detained by illness in his
family. Fifty vears ago on the
10th Mr. and Mrs. Miller were
united by Dr. Morrison, father- j
in-law of our beloved v Stone-
wall" Jackson; and in all that
time, death has never entered ..
their home. They moved to the
place where the present brick (
residence stands .in a few weeks *
after their marriage. The house c
then standing was burned just
before the war, it having been
erected in the first ten years of (
the last century, and, as Mr.
Miller faithfully served the -
South through the whole four
years of strife, his family lived
in a small cabin until his hard
work and constant endeavor en- '
abled him to rebuild. He sold it (
•once, but re-purchased, and has
lived in the one spot ever since. ,
Present with the worthy pair
Monday, besides their children,
and nine grand-children, were (
Rev. aiiu Mrs. Heller.of Maiden;
Rev. Dr. Clapp, of Newton, and
those members of ths Ramseur
family most nearly related. At
late nooning, an excellent picnic
dinner was spread upon the turf
in the front yard, under a fine
elm planted by Mr. W. E. Miller
thirty-eight years ago. Dr. Clapp
asked the blessing of the Gieat
Giver upon the food, and the
guests partook of it with keen
appetites.
After the meal was finished,
Clapp in an appropiiate ad
dress, p esenttd Mr. and Mrs.
Miller with a handsome tea-ser
vice of i-late, a iair of gold
mo anted spec acles each, and
gold coin, etc., bestowed ujxn
them by loving and grateful chil
dren. Short add leases, ai pro-
priate and touching, were then
made bv Revs. Heller and Clapp.
and photographs of different
groups were taken by Messrs.
W. E. and A. A. Miller. Part of
the family remained for some
days, the rest returning to Hick
ory by the evening train which
is such a convenience to all trav
eling over the C. & N-W's. line.
Your correspondent has never
spent a pleasanter day, and
heartily copies for Mr. and Mrs.
Miller the Spanish wish, "May
they live a thousand years."
Harvest Home Services.
Last Sunday was Harvest
Home Sunday at the Reformed
churcn The building was beau
tifully decorated .with grains,
fruits and flowers, and a praise
service was held. Dr. Murphy
[preached from Gen. 41; 49, dra
wing parallells between the full
! years in Egypt and those we are
now enjoying, and deriving les
sons from them. A children's
service was held at night, and
the church was crowded at both 1
services. '

Repuclican Corruption.
President Roosevelt never
misses an opportunity to preach
civic virtue and personal and of
ficial honesty, but he has been,
singularly unfortunate in sur- (
rounding himself with men who j
have not been able to resist
temptation, and who have not
hesitated to line their pockets
with the money of the taxpay
ers. The history of his adminis
tration has been a history of rev
elations of graft and thievery.
A mere list of the cases that
have come to light would be a
long one. For instance, when
the unwilling administration was
finally driven to an investiga
tion of charges that had been 1
made against officials of the
Postoffice Department, it was
found that the entire department i
;vas honey-combed with graft, i
Dfficials and clerks of all grades i
arere regularly pocketing the 1
Droceeds of collusion with con- i
;ractors and the net result has i
seen the filling of several peni- 1
cells, and the number of
:onvietions might have been still i
ligher had not many employees ]
>een let off with dismissal.
Whether or not the Department 1
vas completely cleared up, the ]
itmosphere of graft seems to ]
inger about the building for the :
iisbursing officer of the Wash- 1
ngton City postoffice has recent-
iy been found to be a defaulter. ;
On even a larger scale than
the Post Office Department graft !
was the wholesale stealing of
public land which Was found to ;
be going on in the West by the
co-operation of thieves in and
out of office. Another case of
gnraft on a large scale wa3 that
by which advance information
as to government crop reports
was sold to speculators and bro
kers who were thus enabled to
gamble on the cotton and grain
exchanges with loaded dice. By
comparison with these instances
of whslesale graft the many
cases in which individual dis
bursing officers have been found
to be 'defaulters are relatively
insignificant. Among the many
of these have been defalcations
by disbursing officers in the War
Department, the Census Office,
and the National Museum. Such
a record is sufficient to raise the
question of whether ic is not
true that the entire government
service should have cueh an over
turnir g as can be brought abju
only by substituting Democratic
administration for thit ot the
Republican party.

The Tariff Revision by Re
publicans.
With the surrender of Gov
ernor Cummins of lowa, to the
stand-pat Republicans in that
State all pretense that the trust
protecting Dingley law is to be
revised by its friends has been
' abandoned. Here and there, as
in Massachusets, a few tßepub
lican candidates for Congress
are trying to delude the voters
of their districts into the belief
that there is still hope of Repub
lican tarrif revision. There is no
reason to doubt that these Mas
sachusetts men are in favor of
revision to the extent that it
would benefit New England by
giving the manufactures of that
section free raw materials, but
they will find themselves as pow
erless to secure even that small
means of modification of the
D'ngley schedule in the next
Congress as they have been in
the past. The exposition of the
real attitude of the Republican
party on this question is to be
found in the utterances of the
two men who rule it with a rod
of iron—President Roosevelt
and Speaker Cannon. Mr. Roose
velt's letter to Mr. Watson and
Mr. Cannon's keynote speech
may be read in vain for a single
sentence holding out the hope
that the tariff will be revised.
Mr. Roosevelt said that revision
would be, undertaken whenever
"che benefits to be derived from
making such changes will out
weigh the disadvantages; that
is, when the revisien will do
more good than harm." Mr.
Cannon used practically the same
language. In ot v er words,' it is
the policy of the Republican par
ty to revise the ta* iff where re
vision will benefit the special in
terests that are now being fat
tened by protection, and that is
equivalent to saying that they i
will never revise it, unless, in
deed, they follow the the lead of
}he most extrema of all of the
advocates cf high duties—Mr.
McCleary, of Minnesota, and re
vise it upwards.

Nervous exhaustion invites disease.
This statement is the positive truth
When everything becomes a burden
and you cannot walk a few blocks with
out excessive fatigue, and you break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face flushes, and you grow excited and
shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in any
thing, you are in danger; your nerves
have given out; you need building up

change of life we know of no better
medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

tration. Mrs. Mary L. Eoehne, 371
Garfield Avenue, Chicago. 111., writes:
" I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound for years in my family and it
never disappoints; so when I felt that I wai
nearing the change of life I commenced treat
ment with it. I took in all about six bottles

my dizzy spells, pains in my back and the'
headaches with which I had suffered for
months before taking the Compound. I feel
that if it had not been for this great medicine
for women that I should not have been alive
to-day. It is splendid for women,old or yonng,
and will surely cure all female disorders."
