WHY THE FARMERS ARE FOR SIMMONS Prominent Member State Board of Agri culture Gives Beaton Why& Can non In Western Carolina Democrat. Early in the Senatorial campaign the interest of the farmers of North Carolina in the re-election of Sena tor Simmons became a noticeable feature of the situation. This fact is not difficult to ex plain. Our North Carolina farm ers are quiet but well informed citizens. They think for them selves, and they make up their minds on the merits of a matter. The farmers of North Carolina know: First that Senator Simmons . was reared on a farm and is now a farmer spending as much time as his official duties will allow on his farm in Jones County. He under stands the farmer's point of .view and sympathizes with the farmer's condition. Second That in the Senate Mr. Simmons has always taken the farmer's part, not in a perfunctory way but earnestly, even when to do so was likely to bring criticism upon him, as shown by the follow ing statement of some of his activi ties in the farmer's interest: 1. His great work to gei the National Government to aid in the building and maintenance of the Eural Post Eoads, a work that is sure to bear fruit shortly. 2. His advocacy of a Sural and general Parcels Post to enable the farmer to get parcels and packages by mail on the Eural Delivery Eoutes, and for the reduction of the rate and an increase in the weight-limit on all parcel post packages. 3. His powerful resistance of President Taft's Eeciprocity pact scheme to put what the farmers produce and sell on the free-list with Canada while protecting with high tariff rated the thing that farmers must consume and buy such as hoes, plows, leather goods, farming machinery, cotton bagging and ties, and wire fencing. Senator Simmons stood out for the policy of putting these things on the free list if farm products should be put on the free list :: ,r 4. His efforts in opposition to gambling in farm products and his notable speech in the' Senate in which he showed that fifteen cents per pound was a fair price for cot ton. This speech was made in his protest against Attorney-General Wickersham's plan to prosecute those who were trying to raise the price of cotton. He showed Wick ersham up as prosecuting the cot ton "bulls" but letting the cotton "bears" go free. " 5. His amendment to our im migration laws, designed fb prevent the further immigration to oar country of illiterate aliens of the lower class. 6. His signal leadership of the Senate in passing the iron and steel, woolen and cotton tariff bills, reducing the tariff on articles the farmers must buy such as cutlery, clothing etc , , . Third the Farmers of North Car olina have not only taken note of these prominent features . in Sena tor Simmons Eecord, but they have read the Senators speeches on various Bubjects of interest to the farmer and the laboring man, and they have been interested in their welfare and that he does not have to be reminded or urged to be on the alert in their behalf. He does not make professions or promises, he does things. With such a record of service to speak for him, it is no wonder that the farmers of North Carolina are in overwhelming numbers advo cating the re-election of Senator Simmons. They are men of com' mon sense. They are moved by practical considerations, not by political ambition. And their judgement is about as safe as can be found. . . REUNION AT DANIEL ROUSERk , A very interesting occasion on the 17th of this month was the annual reunion or birthday dinner at the home of Mr. Daniel Houier in North Brook township on Henry route 1. , For a number of years this has been-a regular occurrence, and everyone in the whole section around, here are glad when the time comes to go to "Uncle Dan's" to his birthday diuner. If some one should happen not to get there they would be asked by those who were there, "Why were you not at the birthday dinner last Saturday, you ought to have been there for we sure had a good time." "Uncle Dan's" birthday is the eleventh of August and that date happened t3 come on Sunday this year, so the reunion was put off until the following Saturday. About nine o'clock the people began to come in and ' by half past eleven they were all there. In all there must have been at least one hundred present About twelve o'clock the - baskets, , boxes, and every other, kind of thing that had anything to eat in it began to as semble out in the orchard, where a table about 35 or 40 feet long had been erected (under the shade of the apple trees) for the occasion. Of course those baskets, etc did not assemble there of their own accord, but any way they got there all right. For instance we saw a little girl carrying a basket almost as large as she was. Anyway it was very heavy, or it lobked to be at least We did not lift it, that is we did not lift all of it, for we had just started to help this little maiden with her basket when some one stepped up in front of us and took the place we had started to take. However we did not worry over this very much, just so the basket got to the table all O. K., although we would have counted it an honor to help this maiden. By and by the good things were all on the table, and there being no preacher present, Mr. E. G. Eeep (who by the way is a teacher, the next thing to a preacher,) was asked to take the preacher's place and ask the blessing which he did almost as well as a preacher could have done. After the blessing was asked, everybody started into lighten the burden of good things which the table was . holding up, and it was lightened considerably but there was plenty left after all had been filled. After dinner the young folks started in to have a good time like young folks will on an occasion of this kind, while the older ones set around and talked like old folks will. After awhile we heard something about birth day presents and on inquiring we found that "Uncle Dan" had given to each of his children a handsome and substantial Bible. This is his way of giving birthday presents. He gives to others on his own birthday. The children were all present except Dr. Alyin Houser of Fallston. -"Uncle Dan" is seventy three years old, and is one of the few who are left yet of that vast and noble band who wore the "gray," and today he carries a lame hand that ever stands out in memory of that great struggle ' There is always a tinge of Bad ness connected with these reunions -because some who had always been - there before, were not there this time, for their bodies are now rest ing beneath the sod. Also there weresome there this time who may never be there at another one for they too may be called away. The time for parting come all to soon, but then we all had to return to our respective homes. As we went home perhaps some of us thought of that great reunion in Heaven where we will not have to leave that and go home for we will al ready be at home, and we will not have to part nor say good by there. ' . All went home . knowing .that . they had spent a pleasant day, and that it had been good for them to be there and meet this good man and his family once again. We certainly enjoyed ourselves and hope to be present at a good many more, if the good Lord permits t more there, and spares our lives so we can get there May God bless this man and his family and give them several more reunions before that great reunion.
