1he Monroe Journal CA Volume XVII. No. 40. Monroe, N. C, Tuesday, November 1, 1910. One Dollar a Year. Ogburn Hoyle. Written fur Th Joonul. One of the most beautiful romances in our midst culminated last Wednes day evening when Miss Bright Swin dell Ogburn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. X. S. Ogburn, became the wife of Mr. Jesse Lee Hoyle of Charlotte. The marriage was solemnized in Cen tral Methodist church. The church was beautifully decorated for the oc casion in potted plants and Tines. Just prior to the entrance of the bridal party Mr. II. R. Laney, brother-in-law of the bride, charmed the vast audience in the rendition of the beautiful love ballad, "Thy Pear Eyes." The wedding march, which always causes the blood to chase more rapidly through the veins, was now played in the most finished and artistic manner by Mrs. II. R. Laney and Miss Annie Nelson. The bridal party now entered the church in this order: First, the ushers, Messrs. Will Rucker, brother-in-law of the groom; C. B. Bowden, D. C. Morgan, and J. W. Yates, brother-in-law of the bride. Following these were Miss May Robertson of Abbeville, S. C, with Mr. Ritch; Miss Maude Iloyle of Charlotte, sister of the groom, and Mr. Sam Wolfe of Auderson, S. C; Miss Bess Austin and Mr. W. C. Morgan of Abbeville; Miss Helen Iloyle of Charlotte, sister of the groom, and Mr. F. A. Ogburn of Durham, the bride's brother; Miss Mary Davis and Mr. Porter; Miss Martha Petty of Greensboro and Mr. Jeff Sewell. The maids were dressed in dainty white dresses, wearing sashes of yel low tulle, carrying huge bouquets of magnificent yellow chrysanthe mums. Mrs. J. W. Yates, the bride's sister, acted as dame of honor. To further carry out the color scheme, she was resplendent in yellow mes saline with pearl trimmings, carry ing a magnificent bouquet. She was followed by the bndo loaning on the arm of her father, who gave her away at the altar, where they were mot by the groom with his best man, Mr. Henry Urowne of Charleston, e, C, brother-in-law of the groom. The bride's stately loveliness and intellectual beauty was enhanced by the magnificent white satin gown, trimmed in pearls and chiffon Around her neck she wore a collar of real pearls, gift of the groom. The veil was fastened with sprays of lily of the valley. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lillies of the valley. The ceremony was unusually im pressive, being pronounced by the bride's brother, Rev. N. S. Ogburn, Jr., of Nashville, Tenn. Just at the close of the marriage service Mrs II. R. Laney, sister of the bride, sang in her rich soprano, 1 he Life Road, during which the maids knelt with the married pair. After the ceromony the attendants were entertained at the hospitable home of Mr. J. v. lates. Mr. and Mrs. Iloyle left on the 9:50 train for Charlotte, their future home. Mrs. Iloyle is the youngest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Ogburn. She is a lady of unusual attainments, both of mind and heart. She grad uated at the State Normal College with honors two years ago; since that time she has been employed as teacher here. She is queenly in ap pearance and charming in manner, and makes friends with all she comes in contact. She is in every way suited to fill with honor the state to which she has been called wife of the man and maker of the home. Mr. Iloyle is a man of the highest moral and business integrity. He was for some time bookkeeper for the Monroe Cotton Mill, but is now con nected with J. W. Wadsworth & Sons in Charlotte. The glittering array of cut glass, silver and china was proof in itself of the esteem in which this popular young young couple is held. Monument to Andrew Jackson. Waxhaw Enterprise. Mrs. Lily W. Long of Charlotte writes Mr. J. L. Rodman that the Daughters of the American Revolu tion expect to have a nice monument erected and unveiled at the Andrew Jackson birthplace, six miles south west of Waxhaw, at a very early date. The contract for the monu ment was placed some time ago, and it will be ready early in next month, probably about the 7th. The date of the unveiling has not yet been fixed, but it will be announced soon. This will be gratifying news to the people of this entire community, nd we should all get together at once and arrange to make the unveiling a worthy and memorable occasion. Death of firs. A. A. Blair. Mrs. Addie A. Blair, widow of Dr. J. S. Blair, died on Thursday morn ing at 11 o'clock after a long illness Mrs. Blair, whose maiden name was Parks, was born in Cabarrus county 71 years ago, and spent the early years of her life there. She com pleted her education at Statesville remale College, where she gradu atcd in 1STG. She was married to Dr. Blair in 1S0O. After her mar riage she came to live in Union county and all her children were born in Lanes Creek township. In 1870 the family moved to Cabarrus county, where Dr. Blair died in 18S0. After five years of residence at Da vidson College, Mrs. Blair returned to this county in 1890 and lived at Monroe since that time. Mrs. Blair was a noble christian woman whose daily life was a bene diction to all with whom she came in contact Her sweet and gentle disposition, allied with a natural ability to impart knowledge, pecu liarly qualified her as a teacher of children, and it may be said that nearly all her hie was s pent as a teacher in the day school and the Sunday school. In her home life she was a kind and loving mother, idol ized by her children. Two sons, Dr. M. P. Blair of Marsh- ville and Mr. Frank Blair of Chatta nooga, Tenn., and two daughters, Misses Mary and Anna Blair of Mon roe, survive her. The funeral services and the inter ment took place at Rocky River Presbyterian church, Cabarrus coun ty, Friday evening. Sen-ices were conducted by Rev. Mr. Lapsley of that church and Rev. R. F. Kirkpat rick, pastor of Monroe Presbyterian church. Death of Mrs. J. R. Winchester. Mrs. J. R. Winchester died at St. Peter's hospital, Charlotte, Friday night at 8:30 o'clock, cn her 75th birthday. Sunday night, October lGth, she had fallen and fractured her hip while attempting to rise from her bed. She was removed at once to tho hospital, but little hope was entertained from the first for her recovery, owing to her advanced years and the severity of the injury. Mrs. Winchester, whose maiden name was Wolfe, was born in Meck lenburg county. In 1856 she was married to Mr. J. R. Winchester and then with her husband came to live at Monroe, where they remained until about fifteen years ago when they went to Charlotte. Her life was an exemplification of the christian faith, and she won the love and re spect of all who knew her. Besides her husband and eight children, she is survived by one sister and two brothers. One of her brothers is Mr. W. L. Wolfe, who formerly lived in Monroe; To the Voters of Union County. The report has been circulated that Mr. II. K. Taylor, my competitor for the oflice of cotton weigher, was run ning as an Independent. I wish to say that I am the regular Democratic nominee for this oflice and that Mr. Taylor is the regular Republican nominee, duly and regul. "ly nomi nated by that party. In his an nouncements run in the papers Mr. Taylor does not say what party nom inated him, and hence the report that he was an Independent. He ought to come out and say that he is the regular Republican nominee. I am a Democrat and not ashamed of the fact that I was nominated by that party. He is a good man and should not be ashamed of his party. In regard to my candidacy, I am running on the same old platform, Equal rights to all, special privi leges to none, doing the work to the best of my ability. I will thank you all to go to the polls on November 8 and roll up a big Democratic major ity. Respectfully, C. B. Barden. New Train Between flonroe and Charlotte.

THE FATAL BOND Mr. Marion Butler has been denying that he ever had anything to do with repudiated bonds, and told those who wished to eneraore his services that he v:as not in favor of paying them.

Read it, word for word : THE COLLECTION of State Bonds Repudiated in Whole or in Part The recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, entitled "South Dakota vs. North Carolina," wherein the for mer State secured a judgment against the latter on ten bonds, par value $10,000, amounting with interest to $27,400 (which has just been paid) has greatly enhanced the value of all other repudiated State bonds, because it has established the law and the procedure by which they can be enforced. The undersigned committee, in 1901, pooled all of one issue of North Carolina bonds and originated the plan by which the above successful results were brought about, and obtained a settlement for the individual bondholders, at a little less than par, of their entire holdings of these bonds. This committee i3 now ready to proceed with the collection of all other repudiated bonds of every class, of each State. This committee has no connection with any other committee, and it knows that it alone i3 now in a position to avail itself of the above mentioned decision. Those who desire to enforce the collection of their bonds will deposit the same with the North American Trust Company, 195 Broadway, New York City, and receive receipts therafor and a contract agreement under which the undersigned com mittee will undertake to collect the same. .

David Rankin, has just died leaving a fortune of $3,500,000 which he had made out of agriculture honestly, without slav ing or niggardliness; for he had al ways taken a great interest in civic affairs, given in philanthropy as much perhaps as he left, built up a poor Missouri town into a thriving municipality and endowed its col leg with a quarter of a million. His career is of more interest to the country than that of many other men who have made even greater fortunes, in that he proved what brains applied to the development of our greatest natural industry will accomplish. hen men were push ing westward to try their luck in the mines of the Rockies or on ranches of the "short grass country" of Kan sas, Mr. Rankin stopped in Missouri and took up the more certain means of a livelihood on the rich farming lands in the northwestern part of the State. He made hills of corn grow where none had ever grown before, and acres grow in value from $10 or $15 to $75 and $100. He had fifty poor acres when he started; he had 31,000 acres capable of the high est cultivation when he died. In 190G he planted 19,000 acres in corn and raised nearly a million bushels. He attained a world reputation as an autherity on corn raising because he made it a study, and agricultural experts came from F.urope to learn his methods. hat Coburn of Kan sas said could be done Rankin of Missouri proved. Iho last census has showu that Missouri as well a3 many olher States has lost in rural population, and there are those w ho complain that people leave tho farms to ba- come poor stenographers, poor clerks, poor something cr other. 1 he iso lation and loneliness of the country drives them to the cities, it is said. Perhaps that phase of tho life never bothered Mr. Rankin. In his early lifo he wa3 too busy to think much about it: in his hitter yesrs this iso lation was spent in one of ihs finest country houses in the West. Ha had more horses to drive than he needed, as many automobiles as he wanted; he visited Eastern cities when he felt like it; he went to Europe when he wished. He could afford it; his income grew from nothing to $130, 000 a year. It is doubtful if many of those accused of this exodus to the city would ever have become David Rankins. They would have been about as much failures on the farm as in the city. Besides, their presence helps some struggling mu nicipality to keep up appearances at census taking time. Modern farm ing requires brains and industry. To people thus equipped Mr. Ran kin's career must appeal strongly. Agriculture, though one of the old est, is not the most highly develop oped of our industries. David Ran kin did as much as any man has ever done to prove that business methods applied to it meant profit. He studied soil and products, and he learned the advantage of rotation of crops. He kept a set of book3 as complete as a bank's; he ran his farm as methodically as other men run packing houses, railroads cr manu factories, and ho made it pay. The opportunities are greater today than when he began. There is a lot of this big country of ours out of doors, and its development agriculturally is one industry that is not overdone?. The political campaign is now rapidly nearing its close and elec tion day draws nigh. About all that remains to be done in Union county is for every Democrat to make sure that he goes to the polls on election day and casts his vote for every man on the ticket from Congressman to constable. In talking with our Re publican friends you will find that they are depending upon a great many Union county Democrats stay ing away from the polls on election day, because of the fact that our tig political contests are waged in the county Democratic primaries. Now let every Democrat in tho ccun ty go out and shake himself, and then go and shake his careless Dem ocratic neighbor, if he has one, and prepare to give our Republican friends the surprise and disappoint ment of their lives. They are de pending upon our indifference and carelessness about these matters. That is an insult to every patriotic Democratic citizen who feels any in terest at all in our county, State and national government. Then let us knock their props from under them and show them that we are no set of sleepy heads. "That's the way to do it." Waxhaw Enterprise. Union County Boy Appointed to Responsible Position. The following news item taken from the Chattanooga, Tenn., Times of October 19th will be of special interest to Union county people: "Dr. J. C. Brooks, a youug physician of this city, was apiointed Tuesday by Mayor Thompson to fill the oflice of city food inspector. Dr. Brooks, although a young physician, has al ready had fivo years' experience, en joying a wide practice here, r.nd is considered entirely efficient in every way. He is also a graduate of a medical school." Dr. Brooks is a son of Esq. A. J. Brooks, chairman of the Union county Democratic Execu tive committee. The position is a responsible one and carries with it a salary of $1,500 per year, although the duties are such that it does not interfere with Dr. Brooks' regular practice. Union County Picture in New York flagazine. The Journal is always proud to advertise tho advantages of Union county to the world, or to see any one else doing it. In the "Review of Reviews" of New York, one of the leading magazines of the United States, for November, appears a half page picture of a scene at Monroe, where the farmers had their seed corn demonstration last year. Under the picture is the following: Selecting Seed Corn, Monroe, Union county, North Carolina, March 31, 1909. One hundred and eighty farmers brought corn to be select ed." The photograph was made on the court house square, western side, and shows vp nicely. Bicycle Thief Caught. Atlas Graham, a negro about 18 yars old, stole a bicycle from tho English Drug Company's store the first week of last August. The thief was not known until Chief Laney discovered the bicycle in a car in tho railroad yard, and some clothing along with it. Mr. Laney wrote to the company fthoae name whs on the clothes and found that they had been sold to Graham. He traced tho ne gro to several places and finally lo cated him at Marion, S. C, where he is on the chain gang for stealing an other bicycle. A9 soon as his term there expires, he will be brought to Monroe and tried for his offence here. Found Dead in Wagon. John Funderburk, a negro who worked for Mr. M. A. Walters, was found dead last Saturday morning, lying in a wagon near Mr. W. T. La ney's mill. A whiskey bottle was by his side, and it was first thought he had been poisioned by blind tiger liquor; but a coroner's jury, after in vestigation by County Physician Stewart, came to the conclusion that, his death resulted from natural causes. The man was about thirty five years old and had been in Mr. Walters' employ for some time. He was generally known as John Ervin. Mr. T. J. W. Broom, who Lai been for tho past two or three years in charge of farm demonstration work in this county, has accepted a posi tion recently offered him by the State Board of Agriculture. Mr. Broom will have headquarters iu Raleigh and will do institute and demonstra tion work in different parts of the State. In his work in this county Mr. Broom has been most helpful to the farmers, and in his new position will have a broader field to work in. Mr. Broom has his heart in improved farming and is a worker. The peo ple of Union county regret to lose Mr. Broom, but are glad to know that bis good services are being recognized. . Mr. Thomas Dixon's play, "The Sins of the Father," was produced at the opera house last night before a large audience. This play is the best that has been seen here in many a long day, as all who saw it agree.

His remarks were appreci ated by the audience as one cf the principal parts of the evening's en joyment Come and see the great cooking wonder at our store all this week.
