Established 1899 Glenn Outspoken for C. B. Aycock Ex-Governor, Carrying Out For mer Promise, Eulogizes His Friend. Ex Gov. Robert B. Glenn be ing in the city on one of his home mission speaking trips, a repre sentative of the Democrat calltd upon hi«jn to ask him. if he did not object, to tell who he favored fur the Senate in the present contest. The Governor spoke very froe ]y and frankly. He said that North Carolina was to be con gratulated in having in the field four candidates, every one of whom was worthy of respect and confidence, and no matter who would be tl:e choice for the Sen ate, we could make no mistake. In 1898 while in the campaign for redeeming North Carolina from the fusion party, he had told Charles B. that if ever he ran for the United States Senate, he would give him - his cordial and hearty support and while in this campaign he would not do or say anything to injure the other candidates, he would keep his promise and in a legiti mate way do what he could for the election of Mr. Aycock. He and Aycock had been lifelong iriends and the trait in Aycock's character that he loved most of all was his unselfishness, doing what he had to do not for the purpose of helping himself but others. From investigations made while he himself was Governor. Mr. Glenn said that he knew of no one in the state who had ever done as much for education as Mr. Aycock, and for this alone he was entitled to the respect and lovo of every man, woman and child in the state. In his discharge of his duties as Gover nor, Av cock seemed never to ask himseff the question, "Will this help or inju r e my future politi cally?" Only one question was considered by him —''What is best for the State and her peo ple?" As attorney for the state of North Carolina in the railroad suits before the United States Supreme Court he proved him self a lawyer of the highest ability and in a speech of great force and legal power, won the admiration of the greatest court on earth. . "As Senator, if he is chosen," Gov. Glenn continued, "I do not believe any man could or would represent North Carolina better. Not even would he be surpassed by such men as Vance or Ran som." * The ex-Governor said he hoped the campaign would be free of all abuse, and any attempt on the part of a slanderer to injure the character of any of the four gentlemen running for this office ought to be denounced in the strongest manner possible, for each candidate suggested had, in his particular position, rendered great service to the state and was therefore entitled to and should receive commendation from all and abuse from none. At present, he said, it was abso lutely impossib e for any one to know what would be the result, and as he didn't believe in long drawn out campaigns, he trusted that all would agree to wait only making a short contest, so as not to disturb and divide the people who are now busy doing what they can for the upbuilding of the state.

Erected in Taylorsville Ceme tery Over Grave of R. Z. Linney. Mr. 0. B. vVebb. of the States ville and Mooresville Granite and Marble Works, has just erected over the grave of the late Romu lus Z. Linney in Taylorsville a large monument, of Massachu: setts granite. At the top of the monument is a photograph of the former legal giant of the Brush ies, underneath of which is the following inscription: Romulus Zachariah Linney Born December 26th, 1841 Married Dorcas A. Stephenson 1864 Died April 15. 1910 Soldier Confederate Army Licensed to practice law 1888 Appeared as an attorney in 155 capital felonies Elected State Senate 1870, 1873, 1882 % Elected to the 54th, 55th and 50th Congresses. He loved his fellowman. Senator Simmons a Poor Man. Senator Simmons in a letter to Editor Wade H. Harris, of the Charlotte Chronicle, denies the rumor that he is inte v este4 with Senator Lorimer in any eastern North Carolina land deals or any western land deals, or that he ever had any business transap tions with Senator Lorimer what ever. Lorimer did consult him about certain swamp lands i i Eastern North Carolina, as to their value, but nothing came of it, and Mr. Simmons was only consulted as an outsider interest ed in the welfore of the state. Mr. Simmons adds: It has come to me by corres pondence and otherwise that it is being quieiy but diligently circulated in sections of the State where my financial condition is not known, as in the town and section in which I live, that I am a millionaire and that i have be come such since I entered the Senate. Now the fact is, as is well known in the city where I live, that practically everthing I own is in lands, chiefly farming lands, and I am sorrv to say that practi cally all of these lands, including even my home, is mortgaged, or pledged by war of reservation of title, for fully half of their value taken altogether. Outside of the farm which my father, who died since I became a member of the Senate, left me, I am worth today less than I was when I wag elected to the Sen ate. I regret exceedingly to have to refer to my personal affairs, but when rumors of this character are circulated with a view to reflect ing upon my integrity I feel that I owe it to myself as well as the people of the State to state the facts. Miss Tarbell Tells Why Mc- Kinley Changed His Vote. Trades and deals formed the lifeblood of politics m the old days even more than now. An interesting story is told along this line by Ida M. Tarbell in the June number of The American Magazine. In part she says: "The surprising trades and compromises that Mr, McKinley made in putting through the tar iff bill of 1890 were part and parcel of his insensibility to the moral side of the doctrine of protection. One of the most amazing of his acts was his voting foi the silver bill. He had per suaded the western senators to support his tariff bill, in much of which they did not believe, and they in turn expected him to support their silver bill in which Be did n:>t believe. I cannot say that Mr. McKinley had promised beforehand to give them support —I do not know—but I do know that when the silver bill came to vote, Mr. McKinley sought his friend and political opponent, Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, and asked: 'What can I do? Ido not want to vote for this bill; I do not believe in it.' And Mr. Mills said to him: 'You can do nothing else They voted for vour bill on the understanding that you in turn would support theirs. There is nothing else to do.' These are protectionist morals. Could there be a better training school in legislative cynicism and callous ness?" Mr. John Murphv, who is studying pharmacy in Greens boro, spent several days at home this week: He wili finish his course in a few week?. He does not know yet where he will go to work.

Bears Enjoyed Shooting the Chute lumbermen at Mortimer Sur prised by a Novel Sight. "What Is that black thing shooting the chate?" asked a workman of the Ritter Lumber Co. at Mortimer one day -test week of his companions. All eyes were turned toward the head of the chute which is half a mile long, extending up the top of a steep mountain. It is a deep groove made by hewing out logs, and then the groove is greased to make the saw logs eut out high up on the fountain side slide down easily. It doesn't take Jong to shoot this chute, and in a few moments the lumbermen involuntarily lumped backward as a grunting hank of black hair swept past them into the stream under the mouth of the ehute, It was a bear cub! With a low growl it splattered out of the water, clambered up the bank and ran into the woods. Jhe lumbermen were too amaz ed to try to head little Bruin off; and feir to dfscusgiug how he musj; have slipped into-the chutp as he was hqnfing huckleberries on the peak, gn} lost his handr hold. | Now, there is no wild beast of the forest that loves a frolic more than the genu* Ursus.' This is the reason we so often see the dancing bear, A bear has a keen sense of humor. In deed your bear is a born Irish man. This shoot the chute episode was just as funny to little Bruin himself 3s to the work men. as tne sequel will show. Several days later the workr men at Mortimer saw three bears thumping down the chute. One was Little Brother and he had his mother and sister with him. No sooner down tnan they scrambled up, and came down again- and again; and again, This they did for several days, till the lumbermen began to get too familiar. Than the bears cut out the chute shooting till Sundays, and if the State Press Association will stay over Sun day at Lenoir, Capt, Nicholi will give them a special train up to Mortimer to see the sight.

Here. The Presbyterian church was filled Tuesday night to hear (|9y. Qlenij speak on the home mission work of the Presbyterian church as agent of the Southern General Assembly, A large number of people from other churches were present, and the Sersonnel of th* audience was a ecided compliment to Gov. Glenn and an indication of the esteerp, in which his charade? 33 Christian man Js hejd hy the people of this community. * Rev. Mr. Munroej brother of Rev, Q, 4. Muhroe, openetf with prayer and Rev. J. D. Harte of the Baptist church prcftaunced benftdjytifen. The pastor, Mr, Garth introduced the speak er, whose wa§ amtfopFiateJy ''Goje.. ls |t fs impossible in the limited space at command to give any idea of Mr. Glenn's massive eloquence. His force is like an avalance at times and he is a master of pathos, Qnjy a few points may he here qoticecf. We are appalled when we think that there are 50,000,000 people in Africa who have never heard the gospel of Christ, yet we hardly know the faot that out qf 90,000,000 poople in the Unit ed States 55,000.000 make j?o profession of religion nor are oonnected with any church. Of the remaining 35,000,000 church members (22,000,000 Protestants and 13,000,000 Catholics) not over 10,000,000 can be counted as earnest active Christians. The Governor made a forceful plea against the increasing des ecration of the Sabbath day. France's experience is a warning. When she made the Sabbath to come every nine days it was not long ere she turned her churches into temples of reason and then it was a short step to the Revo lution and the guillotine. Another threatening danger Mr, Glenn pointed out to be the vice of our big cities, and he quoted from Bryce and DeToc queville as authorities from other countries who had come over here and studied the conditions. They said that God was in the country and small towns but not in the cities, and they said to America "Beware!" Our press generally ridiculed them but we needed to heed their warning- The Governor himself had studi ed conditions in the courts of the West and he found the swapping of husbands and wives as we swapped horses and mules in North Carolina. In one section alone of Chicago he found 302 houses of shame. Last year $ll5 million dollars was spent for soft drinks, $2OB million for candy. $550 million for theatre tickets, $7lO million for jewelry, $BlO million for tobacco and $3,400,000,000 for liquors. For foreign missions the Protestant church spent $lO,- 000,000 and for the church work of all denominations in the Unit ed States $200,000,000. If every Christian would give $5 a year the world could soon be evangelized. The speaker refeired to the need of education and preaching in the South and North Car olina too. There are hundreds and thousands of boys and girls in the South who cannot read and write, who nevered darkened the door of a Sundav school or a day school, who know nothing of Christ or the Bible. He had been critized for stating these facts but he spoke only in love with the hope of curing the evils. "If hell laughs over a soul de stroyed and heaven sings over a soul redeemed, and if God Him self died to save a «*oul, cannot you and-I do some little to save the lost?" he asked. Mr. Blalock and two daughters, Misses Lilac and Fuschia, Hickory, spent Sunday nightnn Morganton on their way to Mon tezuma. Mr. and Mrs, Matnej, of Montezuma met them here and returned with them—Mor ganton Herald, May 25.

Cotton chopping is now the order of the day,- but some are Blowing it. Wheat seems to be good and fhis ~ dry and cool weather is a very favorable omen for its proper maturity. Last Sunday there happened at Gonover something that does not happen often. Three gentle men of Company F of the 38th regiment of North Carolina sat at the table and ate dinner to gether. They had a jolly time of it. They were M. C, Yaunt, J. A. Yount ami G. M. Yoder, all werg wetf and hearty. ! ?he writer passed through the county a few days ago to Cono ver and he noticed hundreds of aeres of land in cotton, but very little corn, Enloe Yoder has struck a new idea in working his corn crop. He does it with the disc harrow. He also disks his cotton. It makes splendid work and puts the land in a good condition for cultivation. Rufus Hutton & Co. have moved their saw mill to Jacob Mosteller's farm to cut up his timber for market. This dry weather is rather a go hack on the potatoe raisers as they cannot transplant their potatoe slips until they have vater to the field to set them out- Yet potato beds seem to be rather naked yet owing' to the dry spring that keeps them from sprouting. The old potatoes are about all sold. The good road theme is now the prevailing gossip among the people.

Engineers Body Under 17 Coal Cars. • With 17 steel coal cars on top of him, and all the tons of coal they would contain, the body of Engineer J. Mack Lindsay lay buried in a Seaboard Air Line wreck at Watkins trestle near Bostic Sunday afternoon, and it was not till Tuesday that it could be got out, so great was the mass of debris on it. It took 150 men of the Seaboard and the C. C. &0. wrecking crews to dig it out. The trestle, 150 feet long, gave way under the enormous weight of the coal and steel cars and the double-header engines. Engineer Rod M. Green, of Monroe, and Fireman Roy Dooley, of Monroe, were also killed but their bodies were got out. Early Lewis and Lon Neely, colored fireman and colored brakeman, on Lindsay's engine, escaped with dangerous bruises. It is the worst wreck on the Seaboard in 27 years. 651 New Shares Since January. It is universally conceded that the ownership of property in creases a man's self-respect and self-confidence, and gives him standing in the community. Any institution that helps to do this is a blessing. The building and loan organization in this respect has been a boon to mankind. In the First Building and Loan Association of Hickory there has been taken out since January Ist 651 shares. The association has been averaging 100 a month for some years. It expects to have in force by Aug. 1 more than 6000 shares which represents $600,000. The 31st series will mature Aug. 12th which amounts to $49,- 500. This is the largest series ever matured by the association. Its outstanding loans today are over a quarter of a million dol lars.

Subscribe for The Democrat. Synod Voted Only to Continue. N) Prospect of Early Union of German Reformed and Pres byterian Ch'jrcbes. The impression seems to have got out in North. Carolina that the German Reformed church of the coufcry at the recent trien nial meecingof the General Syn od at Canton, 0., took definite action toward organic union with the Northern Presbyterian church in the future, possibly within six years. Rev. Dr. J. L. Murphy, of this city, who was a delegate to the General Synod from here and who was chosen chairman of the committee of the whole of the Synod, which for two days animatedly dis cussed the subjects of union, corrects this statement. Dr. Murphy himself is in favor of union, provided it can be secured through the eyident leading of the Spirit of God but not if it should mean friction and disruption in his church. It was a high compliment to his fairness and good judgement that he was chosen as chairman of Synod's committee of the whole. While section 2 of the concurrent declarations of the Northern Asembly aud the Gen eral Synod in regard to union appear to leave the impression that union is a certain thing in the near future, nevertheless Dr. Murphy says that the effort of the union sympathizers was to prevent the tabling of the whole report on union. There was a very strong minority in favor that 4 'the effort to unite" should not continue, but should be dis missed from consideration once and for all. This is the section over which the battle was waged: "In view of. this historical kinship and doctrinal agreement, we also declare our conviction that the effort to unite the two churches in one body should con tinue, and the General Assembly and the General Synod hereby recommend to the Presbyteries, Classes and Congregations, to confer in the spirit of comity with reference to the proposed union, and to cooperate with one another during the coming trien nium, wheneyer practicable, with a view to taking definite action for organic union in the siupreme judicatories of the two Churches in 1914." While this seems very favor able to union, and while the rest of report contains a well-defined plan for union, nevertheless the victory for union consisted only in the fact that the German Reformed church will continue to "consider" union, and the re mainder of the report was adopt ed with the proviso that it was merely to be "for information", to the church at large.
