There will always lie a Nrenj,'theuii!j; of the towns by na t in al laws by which young men from the country come to town. but the worst condition possible iu any htate is for the. people w ho de hire to educate their children to be compiled to leave their homes and move to towu to send their chil dren to school.

Willis, a rancher on the Monterey road, has produced a chick en that can talk. The foul is the sixth generation of a cross between a parrot and a guinea hen, and in its every characteristic except the lower half of its bill and the arrange ment of iU toes, tlio bird is a chick en. Tlio upper half of the bill is Htraight like that of tlio guinea hen, while the lower partis clearly a par lot beak. Its toes are arranged two and two, instead of three and one, as in the barnyard fowls. At present the chicken's vocabulary is limited to "Morning, Clint; chaw lerbackcr, Clint," and a swear word. President's RWInr Party Krok I'p Cabinet fleeting. The cabinet adjourned that the I'residcut might go riding. Yes, for the first time iu history, this actually occurred, and the merry cavalcade, headed by the President, which wended its way through the woods of KiH-k Creek Park, May 10, had established a precedent iu the conduct of nutioual attain. President Koonevelt had for some time previous to the fateful day hceu desirous of having a aeries of jumping pictures taken by a local photographer w hose pictures of the Kousevelt lanuly have been much copied. lint, somehow, the weather man couldn't make up Lis mind to give the photographer a fine day, and the picture-taking had to tie post poned several times. At last, the morning of Friday, May 10, dawu ed ideally fair. The photographer telephoned the President, asking that the picture might be taken that day. Hack over the w ire came the laconic message: "Cau L t ab inet day." The photographer was deerate. Summoning his courage, he said: Hut, Mr. President, the day ran t be postponed and the cabinet meeting can." "All right," answered the Pres ident cheerfully, "then we'll go ahead, and I'll let the cabinet peo ple know so that they won't come." Lively telephoning from the White House wits heard for the next few minutes. The heads of I'ncle Sum's departments were in formed that the President was go ing to ride and to have his picture taken, and they were asked to de fer the discussion of the steering of the ship of State until the Presi dent returned iu the afierunon. Promptly at 10:15 a. in., fifteen minutes before the meeting was to be held, the vanguard started from the White House.

Mc Ilermott is one of the finest revol ver shots iu the army, and woe lie tide the man who would ever at tempt to iutcrfcre with the Presi dent when the faithful orderly is uear. The members of the party tried their luck at the hurdles, and the photographer secured some of the finest equestrian pictures of the President that have ever lecu tak en. Captain Lee, who is even more at home on a horse thau oil", went at the hurdles in the most htisiucss like maimer, w hilo young Theodore Roosevelt, a fine rider for a fellow of bis years, was plainly elated by his owu success iu getting over the four tiarred fence. Mrs. Wads worth made the jumps with enthu siasm. The President, dismount ing, gave his son several lessons in the art of taking the hurdles. Prac tical even iu his pleasures, the Pres ident suggested to his companions that if they took their horses far ther back from the jumps they would secure better results. The suggestion was followed, and found to work well. Calling the impassive Sergeant Melh-rmott to his side, the President turned to the photographer, saying: "Now I would like to have a pic tun' of Mclk-ruiott and myself tak en together. This picture is for him." The picture proved to lie one of the lest in the series. At last, after making a number of jumps, the party started home ward. He Wanted Company.

ASHLEY HORNE FOR GOVERNOR. ibe Lot for us to make some ar iraugeiueul with the Populists by ! which the State could be redeemed, Mr. Home was outspoken iu his ideuuhciatiuu of the movement. His Record as Confederate Soldier Without a Blemish. STERLING DEMOCRAT. A Farmer and Business Man He Has Keen 5uccessful Public Spirited and Patriotic, He Leads in All Progres sive Movements. To the lVmorrats of North Carolina: Ashley Home of this place is a candidate for Coventor, subject to the action of the Democratic State convention. I have known Mr. Home all of his life and feel that it is not out of place for me, of my owu knowl edge, to state w hat manner of man be is. He is a native of Johnston county; is sixty-five years old; had a common school education, but in early manhood volunteered as a private in the Confederate army, and followed the fortunes of the Army of Northern Virginia for four years, and surrendered with it it Appomattox. His record as a soldier is without a blemish. After the war he had neither the time nor ability to complete his education. Necessity rciiuired him to go to work. The tirst year alter goiug home he cultivated a crop, theu clerked iu a store, and in l.Sii; heguu merchandising fur himself. lie prospered, made friends of bis customers, and many of the men who began to trade with huu forty years ago are still his customers iiiid friends. As a farmer and as a business man he has lieen successful, and he has also embarked iu other lines of business. Now he is regaided as one of the most successful men iu the State. While he has other largo lines and is engaged in bunk ing, insurance, manufacturing and merchandising, he is still a large and active farmer. He is not mere ly a farmer ou mper, but every day during the crop season a visi tor would lie apt to find him in the field, actually carrying ou large, active and successful farming oper ations. And so well jn formed does lie keep himself on market prices of farm products, thut many will recall that during recent years be has published cotton letters thut contaiued wholesome advice to the farmers with regard to holding their cotton. This advice has proved to be well founded, and there is no estimating the money it saved the farmers of the State, aud they were not slow in expressing their gratitude to him. In fact, he is on all business propositions a very practical aud wise counselor. He was one of the otlicers of the Cotton Growers' Association, and he has established warehouses somew hat on the pbui of the bond ed warehouse system now advocat ed by that association. He has always lieen a strict, reg ular and organization Democrat. He has voted the Democratic tick ets as they were printed. Iu the early SMI' a, when Popu lism was making such headway among the people, he opposed it, but he understood the hard condi tions under w hich the farmers were sulfering; and, instead of denounc ing their movement, as many un wise men did, he treated them with kindness and sympathy, dissuad ing them from leaving the Demo cratic party, but never denouncing them. Iu the country immediately contiguous to Clayton, Populism never made any headway, and one of the reasons for this, was the wise and kindly manner iu which the farmers were treated by Mr. Home and other Democrats. Alter the fusion of Populism aud llepubli- canism carried the State, and when mar.y Democrats felt that it would The Blood is The Dte."

He (Mine to the State Convention iu I Vis and threw his whole iullu enee iu favor of a straight tight. If there is one idea in Mr. Home's mind, or if then' is one motive iu his life which predominates over all others, it is his opposition and hatred of mouopoliesaud combines. He has always stood for the indi vidual and in favor of the freest comiH-tition. He docs not believe in any law which gives one man an advantage over another, and he believes that any agi-eemeut be tween two or more men, or two or more companies to restrict compe tition, or to create a monopoly, is a crime against human rights and ought to be punished iu the sever est manner. He is a ltractical trust lighter. Not a trust-buster on paper, but a man who has sys tematically mid earnestly fought monoH)lies iu the only way be found it practical to fight them. When IhecottouOil industry lie came important he was one of the men who organized the tirst cotton mill iu Kaleigh. When he ascer tained that the American Cotton Oil Company bad obtained control of that mill he sold every dollar of Ins stM-k and retired. W hen it appeared that the fertilizer busi ness was going into the hands of large concerns, he was one of the men who hcled to organize the Carulcigh Phosphate and fertilizer Works near the city of Kaleigh. Propositions were made to buy that mill out. Mr. Home opposed it and o lie red to become responsi ble for the future of the mill him self provided it was kept indepen dent. A few years ago, when it appeared that the American Cotton till Company and the Southern Cot ton Oil Company would control the cotton seed market of the South, and that they possibly might com bine and regulate prices, immedi ately Mr. Home assisted in the building of an independent mill at Claytou. which mill is now owned and controlled by Clayton people and run independently. It pro vides an independent market for seed, aud I'ninit.lies independent of other companies, fertilizers. He is president of the Clayton Oil Mills. In l'MV many North Carolina mills favored goiug into a combination, so as to cll'ect, it was said, large economy. The propo sition was made to Mr. Homo to have the Claytou mills included in the merger. He declined to even submit the proposition to the stock holders, lhe late of the merger justified the wisdom of his course. He was one of the first men to advocate the formation of home in surance companies, both lire anil life, and to stop the outflow ol North Carolina money for lire in surance, lie was one ol me early stockholders of the North Carolina Home, and is an officer and direc tor in a number of successful life and fire companies. One of the rules of his business life is to give the preference, where practicable to do so, to local and independent companies, rather than to foreign companies or huge com binations of capital. As far as it is possible to do so, he taboos trusts and monopolies. 1-roiu the pur chase of the oil which lubricates his machinery to the placing of material upon his property, he al ways gives the preference to local dealers and independent companies. Mr. Home is not identified with any particular faction of the par ty. He is neither conservative nor radical, so called. He is a Demo crat plain. If elected to office he will not endeavor to build up any faction, nor to create any personal following looking to his future a 1 vauceuient. He will lie content to serve the people iu the otlice of Governor for four years, and at the end of the term return to private life. He w ill not use the great of fico of Governor as the stepping stone to any higher honors. Mr. Home w ill not make a can vass of the Stalo prior to the con venlion. If nominated, he will take the stump and ably uphold the Ik'iuocratic cause. He is able to make and will make a strong and vigorous canvass, but he will not exiiect any uisiness people to come out and hear him speak when he is canvassing for hnuseir aud not as the standard bearer of his party. Mr. Home's personal life is with out spot or blemish. No person, however much he may uiller witn Mr. Home in politics or otherw ise, can be found who would impugn his persoual honor or believe huu guilty of an Improper art He has been a sober, moral man all his life. He was a temperance man when temperance and prohibition were not popular. As far back is 18S1 he voted for prohibition. He has alw ays stood for teuiperauce, for the home, the school aud the church. He has always been a progres sive man; and, while by far the largest tax payer of his section, he has always voted for special taxes tor schools and good roads, and has favored everything that promoted the welfare of his community, re gardless of its linaiici.il ellects Upou hi in. Mr. Home favor the strict en forcement of the law passed by the i last (ieiier.il Ass.-ml.ly regulatiug j railroads and requiring them to give better srrvivo at reduced rates. He believe iu holding corporations to their duly and within the law, aud doing this with a strong, bold hand. He has always favored strict regulations of eorHiratioiis; has al ways favored requiring railroads to iM-rform their duties vigorously, ami at the lowest possible rates, aud he never rode a mile on a rail road pass, believing that railroads should serve and not boss. Mote than thirty years ago when the rates ou cotton U-tweeu Claytou and Kaleigh w ere too high, he or ganized a wagon train and sent the cotton through the country, until tho railroads in disgust, asked liiui to name w hat he thought was a fail rate. This he did, aud this rate between Clayton and Kaleigh has never la-en exceeded. He has al ways opposed the granting of sie- cial favors to railroads. Iu lss,". he wits a member ol the State Sen ate. The Kichmoud aud Danville railroad proposed to build to Mur phy if the State would donate free the use of several hundred con victs. Mr. Home was as auxious as any to see that work completed, but be thought the Kichmoud aud Danville was under obligations to build it at its owu expense, lie voted against the donation of Un convicts, and was one of the Sena tors who signed a protest against the measure. This is a brief account of Mr. Home's life. He is in the race to- lay. He is encouraged by prom ises of support from every section of the Slate. We believe he will be nominated. Iu conclusion, I Wg to sar that if you want to support a Confeder- ute soldier for doveriior, Mr. Home is the man. If you want a successful business man, mid a lift long farmer for the ollice, Mr. lorue is the man. If you want a man who has U-eu a consistent and life long enemy to trusts and com binations, Mr. Home is the man. If you want a man who has been leader in the industrial develop incut of his section, Mr. Home is the man. If you want a mau w ho has always stood for good roads, for temperance, education uud mo rality, Mr. Home is the man. If you want a man for Governor w ho will give his whole time to that otlice and who will not aspire to other positions, Mr. Home is the man. If you want to support a straight, fire-tried Democrat, who has never turned either to the right or to the left, but who has consis tently fought the party's battles for more than 10 tears, Mr. Home is such a man. If you want a man for liovernor who will fill the olhce well, who bus never done and will never do an unworthy or improper act, who will never do anything that will require defense, apology or explanation, Ashley Home is such a man.
