Wilmington Star. t The above clipping from a Demo cratic paper is one among many that can be found these days in the columns of the Democratic press in its futile efforts to misconstrue and misrepresent the local self-govern uient plank in the Republican par k's platform. - : s v . H They have labored incessantly, day and night, since the adjourn ment of the Greensboro convention to explain, twist, distort and tan gle up a plain,, simple, straight forward proposition. "Local ., self-government.' The Star claims that "the Democratic party is the local " self-government party.77 Uan.the tar point to any platform utterance along this .line! The prohibition law is a - child ot its party, under the ; guidance of Ex Governor Bob Glenn. .;, Did SJ$ so much as mcntioj it, and pledge the people to stand by it, uphold, defend and enforce it in your plat form at Charlotte? Now . let's be fair and on the square in discuss ing this question of . local , self -.government. Who gave to the people the right to vote for and elect their justices of the peace, and,. county commissioners! The Republicans. Who has taken it away from "the people in certain counties of the state in order to put Democrats in office? The Democrats. Who de nies to the counties the right' to elect or appoint their boards of ed ucation and their superintendents of schools? The Democrats., Who forced the prohibition bill through the legislature, and left it to a vote of the people of the - entire state, when over 80 per eent. of the coun ties were dry? The Democrats. Are not all these questions above men tioned local; self-government; the very quintessence of local self-government? "'. And has not the Democratic par- y m every one ot these ; instances destroyed them?' Then please tell us where you . are rightfully the champions and. preservers of a By s iciu wnicn you nave under one or another guise absolutely destroyed. x,uw tne Kepublican position is this, nothing more: , We believe in allowing the people, to pass upon all these questions in' each county; that is local self government.

V Tn trutfr Of tbe w)ioie.ma(ter. is shia. Democracy hs done" much faking to4 their fkhtefie horses to destroy and has wandered so j far from one of its ancient- land marks that at the sight, or even a glimpse, of, the Republican local self-government plank, the Demo cratic horse takes fright, kicks up his heels and off he goes at break neck; speed, and the no less fright enedtrider turns around in the sad dle and yells back at the Republi cans), it's likker," old corn "likker" is the cause of it all. Now, if the Democratic party lead ers could only get far enough away from the bottle and jug to let their sober minds reflect on their an cient version of local self-government, and try for a few lucid mo ments to sanely and intelligently comprehend the whole significance of the plank, they would realize that whisky is the least important part, but they are so wedded to their own devices and constructions and are so blind to the truth of the matter, that they can't see a thin in the '-plank" or on . the "plank" but likker! likker!- lik ker! Epbriarn (Democracy) is joined to its idols, let him alone. The people are not going to be de ceived. Republicans are not go ing to allow the Democratic con tortionists to distort and miscon ttrue: their platform for them. The Democrats, who have frequently used whisky in every campaign in this state, and who shipped it to Greensboro in car loads when pro hibition Bobbie Glenn was nomina ted for 'governor, and repeated the game at Charlotte two years ago when it flowed as free as water and landed Billy Kitchin in the parlor, cannot deceive and fool the people in this year of grace, 1910. Consistency tea jewel that has never bedecked the crown of the average Horth Curoti na Democrat ic trust buster, and the great mass es are-not going to be deceived or mislead by this, their latest cry of wolf! wolf! Our Democratic friends have been, killing - the goose that aid the golden egg for several years, when they began destroy ing local self-government they had the 'nigger" to fall back on, but when they disfranchiied the negro hey killed one of their standbys. Now they realize that local self government is rising up to slaj them, and they are raising a howl rom Currituck to Cherokee in an attempt to deceive the people and make them believe that they are the keepers and preservers of local self-government, a system which they, (the Democrats) have destroy ed root and branch. You have killed'4 the gooses" and the golden eggs have slipped from your hands and the places that know you now will soon know you no more for ever.

Ours is the youngest ot all the leading nations of the world. Yet, it is one of the richest. And its citizens are the happiest. The poor classes have .. homes, or " can get them, and commaud at least a living, wages. Why is this? What made it ao? There is but one an swer tott, and that is our laws pro: tect our: manufacturing- industries and that gives to the laborers good wages for their labor. Under Democrat rule, we had soup houses aud the country was flooded with tramps. They say we have a panic now which is as bad as the Cleveland panic: Is it? well, let's see. Farmers, is it so with you? Now you answer for ' your selves and decide which you pre fer. Wage earner, is it eo with you? Is work as scarce and wages as low now as. they were in the Cle veland panic? Do you hear of any soup houses? Think over it for yourselves, and decide which you want. If you want free taade, low wages aud soup houses, . vote;, the Democrat ticket. If not. you had better vote the RepuUean ticket. The paupers in London fed on soup on Jan. io - were. xxu,oox.

Sold by-all Druggists: WINSTON 1Z Bit of Early Hifctory of County of Davie. Winston Journal. Dr. Ernest M. Griffin of Farming- ton furnishes The Journal ' the fol lowing account of the first house, the first well and the first mill ever con structed in Davie county: About one hundred years ago, a man by the name of Saincr, the Christain name of whom I haven't been able to ascertain, is sai-i to have built the first house, dug the first well, and built the first grist mill in the county of Davie. The house and chimney are still standing. .-. ' The house mentioned is located two miles north of Advance and is now owned by Mr.1 E. E. Vogler, but is tenanted by Mr. Ed Smith. The writer could get but little in- formation as to the nationality and personal history' of Mr. Sainer and wife, other 'than they were honest, thrifty and progressive. The record of these early pioneers is interesting from an historical point of view especially to Davie county, the history of which should be writ ten by an accomplished historian. The house built by Sainer, was considered a fine one jn those days. It as built of huge legs and is a lasting monument to the builder ar.d his" "style? of architecture, the riils being great trees, from which they were dressed with an ax. It is a weatherboard house with four rooms. X think the broad weather boards 'were put on with shop nails , witn ;a "head oh only one side.v The boards are nailed to four by four's the last mentioned being'pegged to' the logs with large wooden pins. The boards are lapped at the ends,, instead of making a square joint. The large fire place and chimney are interesting to look at. The brick are as hard "as stone and seemingly would last foreVer, showing that the - SALEM, N. C 31 3 people of that generation did things wen. It is said that many people from a great distance came in their carriages to see this home and especially the well, or the hole in the ground, as they called it. This worthA pioneer should have a monument to his mem ory. The mill mentioned, the first of its kind, in Davie, is still known as the "Old Mud Mill' drew a larcre patron age from a grert distance. Men of the type of which we are speaking of are true heroes and their fading biography, should be record ed by some one interested in history, and especially in Davie-, and give to the public instead of slumberidg in oblivion. A rozor, a pistol, a bottle of li quor and a . woman were jointly re sponsible, according to The Thorn asville Davidsonian, for a murder in Dovidson county. With that puartet of trouble-breeders in ac tive operation, we cannot but feel that the community got out cheap ly with one killing.
