January 30 1913 same William Jennings Bryan assumed a dictatorship at the late convention at Baltimore, after utterly failing to split the party in to faction, and naming lim self fora fourth term of dis aster yielded to tht inevitable and drifted with a torrent of Ijopular will he could not stem, and the great Woodrow Wilson was named as President of the United States, and yet despite all of this it is no bar to a North Carolina Legislature inviting the said W. J. B., to come down and bring his plumb line, and level, and measure up and tell them how many cubic inches there is in a square meal worst of us may approach. We may lay on them in penitent and sincere surrender the grossness and the vileness, the selfishness and deceits—deceits of the world and of ourselves—the malice and hates and jealousies, and resent ments, and lies of our lives, as our sacrifice and worship. Striv ing to cleanse our hearts of our greed and small ambitions, of spites and wrath against those who have offended us, of indiff erence to those whose sorrows demand our care, of evil though ts and ignoble designs, we mav build for oarselves our own al ters within ourselves, and then i worship with true Christian sin cerety. THE MAINSPRING OF VITAL FORCE. What insignificant things of ten touch the mainspring of vital action, and put in motion tre mendous for* es, forces that shake a nati'"»n, a continent. A little bu’d alighting on the edge of a cliff dislodges a pebble, anc it starts down a mountain side, gathering momentum and force as it speeds on its way until it becomes a roaring avalanche sweeping towns and cities from its path. General Barras of France speaks to the young Corsican and said “Quell the Section,* in Paris, and lo the greatest mili tary genius the world has ever known was born, a Harpy, a mo- loch a Belial sweeps Europe with fire brand and sword, and blooc runs in rivers, and ruin, and desolation marks his pathway from Toulon to Waterloo, anc there was no rest untill Napolean slept beneath a willow on the Island of St. Helena. Some merchants gathered at Boston harbor chafing under seeming wrongs, tossed over board a few cases of tea, and thus the tocsin of war was echo ed fl’om the black forest of Main to the bay of Mobile, and the red tide of battle ebbed and flowed untill a Washington gave to us a new nation. A cannon wss fired at Fort Sum ter, practicaly harmless in its effect, but its echo awoke a na tion to life, and the Southern Confederacy stepped forth with shield, and helmet fully pano plied for war. Amidst a forest of glittering sabres and flashing bayonets an heroic struggle began. In the volcanic thunder of guns the world awe struck breathless, and aghast, saw a four years superhuman strugle, stupendsous, mai vrelous, inconce- iveable, while millions of the best and bravest sank in the bloody mire of battle. Monu ments dot this land marking the graves of the heroic dead. Miss Ida Tarbell writes, and the world reads in the magazines of a John D. Eockefellow, and lo this colossus of midas is striped of the tincel > 'appings of honor, and reverence that money had clothed him with, and he stands naked, a veritable pilnce of evil, a mephistophole of QUIBLING OVER THE QUESTION. Some papers are quibling over the question as to whether Georgia should hang a woman murderer, or not, Mrs. Katherin King has been sentenced to die for the murder of her husband in that State, and now sentiment says it will not do to hang a woman, it would be a disgrace. CAN NOT SIN. Henry P. Davidson a partner with J. P. Morgan says upon the witness stand that Morgan can do no wrong, Morgan can not sin. And such is the views of the infatuated worshipers of wealth, the fanatical fools who ^ are buzzing around the gilded] flame of high finance, I We do not presume that the} and so it is posible that she willi • ttt- i. i y , people of Winston think that R. receive a sentence in the penitsn- ^ ^ tiary,to later be pardoned out by some benificent governor. All conditions a like the crime of murder by a woman is just as heinious as that commited by a man, and she should be hungd just as quick. Because there are a few angels in this world that wear petticoats, is no reason that all are such. A woman may be much better than a man when they reach out for a high and holy level, they can attain to a superior height, and upon the contrary when they drift down they can reach a lower level. A mean woman is the meanest thing that God ever created, and a good 'one is the best. They can be an angel, or a devil, and when a devil nothinp- this side of hell can excell them. A crime is a crime, and people are permitting frivelous senti ment to swerve them, when :hey condone a crime because T. Reynolds can do wrong, nor do the people of Durham think the Dukes can do wrong and yet they all do wrong despite this blinded fool worship, by the simpering masses, whose highest conception of things in the world worth worshiping, is money. This idea is not alone prevelant with the poor, and ignorant, but it dominates the well to do class, it dominates the laymen and the preacher. The man in the pu’pit bows in abject submission, and worship to these members of the midas class, who can pay well for their religion. Its a horrible commentary upon the worlds worship of nioney, instead of morals, of gold instead of God. The peoples ideals of right living have been broken, and shattered to fragments, their faith in infinity clouded, and skepticism the cruel serpent of doubt is crawling upon, and that commits it. besliming the pedestal where it is a woman But why discuss it. If it had of been Mr. King that committed :he murder and Mrs. King had of been the victim, and North Carolina their home, and King had of had money suficient to lave employed able council, then sentiment would have been much against hanging of King, especialy if he had had one of those imbecil jurors to have wept over the case. Diverging a bit, we would say reformation of the criminial laws of this and many other States, is a demand from the living, and a silent, but a solem appeal from the mar tyred dead. Let the peonle arise in their power and might, and say the cilminial code of North Carolina shall not longer be used as an agency to enich unscrupelous criminal lawyers and turn loose upon the people the vilest beastly butchers. Let it stop, its a shame upon the intelegence of the people of the Old North State. once rested the crucifix, and the crown. THE ALTER OF RIGHT LIV ING. Alters of marble, the most selfishness !(ja2zling white are emblems of and greed, and object of hatejpufijy. The snow, drifting slow and loathing. Upton St Clair writes a little book, and at once there arose a horrid strench from the shambles the slaughter houses, and abat- tors of Chicago, Kansas City and St, Joe. The nation was sicken ed and nauseated and a billion pounds of beef was dumped in to the fertilizer vats unfit for human food. William Jennings Bryan for mulated his political creed at Chicagos National Democratic convention in his crucifixion, his crown of gold placed upon the bleeding brow of labor, and lo the sorcery of a 16 to 1 began its incantatiun of evil for the Demo cratic party until its tunes an phylacterys wove a witchery over ,the principals and purposes of a lofty dispensation of human rights, and for ten years the party wandered out a senseless, a listless and leaderless mass of inertia. And after the Repub lican party diunk with power, reeling under the weight of plunder pilfered from the people, under the gaise of protection, had been damned, and the people were restless for an opportunity to destroy it, this ly, or driving fiercely from the skies, lying in wide whiteness, gleaming in the moonlight and giving back from its countless crystals sparkles of radience, do us represents purity. Yet neither is purity. Real purity is not hard and cold like the marble, or frozen and still as'the snow. It is stainless, but warm; unblemished, but living and do ing. The one pure Being this world has known, felt. He loved and suffered. He yearned as we yearn, saw the travail of His soul and groaned as we do in the sorrows that come to all of us. He knew human grief and want and ministered to it. He knew human happiness and A Lullaby Lady Moon, O Lady Moon, Here’s a little sleepy girlie that must go to slumber soon!

Lady Moon, 0 Lady Moon, Let her see the polished buckles on your gleaming silver shoon, Let her touch your diamond rings and the star dust on your wings; And should you bend above her--ah! but that would be a boon! And kiss her little rosy lips, how kind, O Lady Moon! Lady Moon, O Lady Moon, Tell her just one fairy story that you’ve gathered as you go From the pine woods or the snow. From the gayly lighted cities or the stars above them strewn; I There’s a sleepy little girlie that j would like so muoh to know I Just one little faiiy store, Lady Moon. i Lady Moon, O Lady Moon, I It is late; and you’s so busy with so many trysts to keep, J And our little wide eyed babby—it is time she went to sleep!

Under the old law the treasurer was paid a small commission for collecting and handling this fund. And heretofore I haye given that commission to those who looked after it in the different Townships. But now under the Salaiy law there is no provission made for any one to be paid any thing out of this fund. Therefore, unless some one will volunteer to collect without charge, in the townships, I cannot put the bocks out as has been my custom. According by instruction from the County Com- mers., the books will be ac my office joy and ' court house in Graham, and all persons desiring to pay will pay to me unless they find some one else with the books.
