On a train coming into Monroe a
few nights ago, a young woman oc
enpied a seat and beside her she
had a four legged dog. Across the
aisle from her sat one of the usual
hogs, and beside him he kept two
grips that might easily have lieen
set on the floor. Yet the car was
crowded and not only men. but sev
eral women had no seats. The rail
road is mighty vigilant to catch an
occasional tramp who takes his life
in his hands and steals a ride on
the rods, but they let such cat tie as
these steal seats that other passen

as saying word. They might ut
least post a card in each car saying,
'Only Hogs Jteqniro Two Seats

Speaking at Carmel.
CorrfNuoDilcac uf Tnc itmrnal.
At the reuesi of the people or this
section an appointment was made and
all the hirislative candidates were invi
ted to soesk at ML Carmel on last Sat
ui-dav nnfht. Owinir to the inclemency
of the weather none of the candidates
were present except the Hon. James N.
Price and Jackson sold wnr horse Dem
ocrat, Eaq. Henry McWhorter, who
made one of his characteristic speeches
which was much enjoyed by the larire
audienre. He was followed by the Hon.
James N. Price, who spoke for more
than an hour, laying special stress on
the recorder court, the opposition
to which he savs comes from a few in
terested individuals. Mr. Trice said the
attack made on him and hie eolleairues
in the last legislature in the papers
over falae names were cowardly and
that he was not ashamed of hia record
and insisted that the opposition come
ont openly and that he will meet them
at any time and place and discuss it
Mr. Trice made a masterly sjwech in
defense of the recorder's court and was
repeatedly interrupted by continued applause.
their own way in the county have
not loosened their grip a little bit.
lU-fore the convention met in the
opera house, which was necessary
liecauso the court was using the
court house, Don. Zeb Vance Wal
ser of Lexington addressed a good
crowd in the court house. He did
not discuss any issues at all, but
made a lively whooping up speech
iu praise of Judge Talt and the
party. He said that inasmuch as
111. Van and Keru had lsen buried
twice each and were dead, he had
nothing bard to say alsiut them lie-
cause it was not right to speak dis
respectfully orthedead. Going on
Mr. Walsersaid:
have come here to talk a little
while iiMn the great principles of the
Ki'imbliran party. Over in theStatcof
Virginia, Judge Tuft, who ia spending
the summer ut Hot Springs, aildressed
the members of the SlHte liar Associa
tion the other day, and he was startled,
I presume, bv the announcement of the
president of that association that in this
election he expected to think freely and
act indcjienilently, and would vote for
Taft. So the East, or more proin rly
the veast. is beginning to rise. Whv.
in (ieorgia, where they say they are al
ways raising hell, the Kepuhlican par
ty may well-nigh carry the State. The
Democrats told us we were going to
have freedom of thought and action in
North ( arolina after the amendment
was passed. The time has come in the
South when they cannot say the Repub
lican party is the party of sectional
prejudice. When 1 was growing up it
was very difficult for a young man in
.virin v arooiiH 10 ova ivepuoucun, nui
for the past ten years the people of our
Southland have been getting ready to
vote the Republican ticket; and for ten
years the Republican candidates have
icen casting their eves Southward.
President Mi Kinlev Put the gallant
ticneral Wheeler in charge of the cav
alry forces in the Philippine, and
Roosevelt has been looking Southward.
I was glad that Judge Taft had decided
to remain at Hot Springs for the sum
mer." Mr. WaUer eulogized Taft as
a man not only big in body, but big in
mind and heart and soul.
"The iK-mocrats say, you Republi
cans have talked pnunicrity until you
iok prosper! tv; you talked dinner pad
until you looked like a dinner pail. Ami
this time thev have tne panic. v,c
ilid talk utsiut the Punic under Mr.
Cleveland, and now they say what are
you Republicans going to do about the
panic: II a panic means tne nignest
prices for com ami cotton we have had
for ninny years, I say men give us thai
Kepuhlican panic. 1 lie Repulilican panic
is a prosperity panic, senator Overman
told the truthoverat Waxhaw the other
lay (Thursday) when he said this was
i money 1111100. It was started up in
Wall Street to keep Roosevelt from be
ing nominated. A panic! Why prices
have been going higher and higher. The
farmers of this country are not going
to kick on that. We have a President
who took the wrongs of this country
and buried them deep. That man has
done more for the upbuilding of this
country than all the other Presidents
mt together, ror seven long years he
ins stood bv the people of this country
and today he is more beloved by the
people than any other man, )K?rhiips,
since the days of Henry Clay. The Re
publican party always nominates its
best man for the presidency. The bu
mess interests ol tnccountry nenena on
the success of that party at the polls.
When they went out to micago they
looked all around and n.-.med this mag
nificent man, Judge Taft. A prominent
Democrat said to me, "Vou have nomi
nated the U-st all around man for the
nrvaidencv since IStKI.' I replied, 'Yes,
we alwuvs do nominate the best man;
and if you do not nominate a better man
than you have this year, you won't get a
President in l.H years.' North Carolina
has alwavs been ready to go Republican.
One question in the way was the negro
j 1 - li.tl..
iUeslHMl, li:u we juoiei in mr a. i-
ilemcnt of it. It ought never to have
111 a political question. Hut we have
quit going after the colored vote now,
and somebiKlv else ia after it." The
speaker read a dispatch from the Asso
ciated Tress concerning a party of ne
groes visiting Mr. Bryan at rairview,
tin! commented unon it.
'If Roosevelt hasn't another princi
ple, he has at lenst the courage of his
convictions. 1 nis was snown ny ms ac
tion in the BrownvilleatTair. W hen the
colored ueonle got tnere to see Mr. Hry
nn hn was there? Jrsenhus Daniels.
.Inacnhua. w ho has for a quarter of a
century denounced the Repulilican party
in North Carolina because it was a par
ty of colored voters. 1 would have given
iliHl dollars to have been there ins cor
ner of the lot to see Joe. I don t know
whether they had watermelon there or
not. I would have given half of my in
heritnnre to have seen Joe and the
crowd there eating watermelon. It all
dcienda uon whose ox is gored. Now
that Josephu is going to be Secretary
of War. he is lust smiling, ard willing
to take them if he can get them, and
he wants them quick and bad. Joe de
nied it the other day and said he just
happened to be there. That he didn't
mt chicken or watermelon. This dis
patch says. There were quite a number
of colored people at rairview looay.
Trotiably the most important visitor
was Joaephus Daniels.' Probably! Of
course. Mr. Daniels doesn't want any
of their votes. 1 only mention this to
dieted for any crime. When the
Civil war bflke out lie was among
the first to Vuliiiitocr and served
throughout the entire struggle, be
ing in many of the fiercest battles,
but came out ui'.liout a scratch. Mr.
Helms is the father of ten children,
seven of whom are lining. All these
were present. The grandchildren
number twenty-five and the great
grandchildren sixteen.
Everybody carried well filled bas
