NUMBER 14 ' Parker And Page Meet. Hons. John J. Parker and Eobt. If. Page, Republican and l)eino- cratic nominees for Congress from this district, met in joint debate at the court house Tuesday. A large crowd were present, democrats, re publicans, socialists and reformers. Mr. Parker was introduced by Mr. A. T. Grant, and led off in an hour's speech. It is impossible lor us to reproduce the speeches of the gentlemen in our limited space, even were we capable of doing so. Mr. Parker spent much of his time in discussing the tariff question. He showed that the Republican party bad kept their promises to the people by making a downward revision oi the tariff, showing that while the tariff had been increased ou a few luxuries, it had been low ered on many of the necessities of life, and many articles placed on the Iree list. He showed that Mr. Page, who has been in Congress for eight years, had done nothing for the people, save secure two small appropriations for public build ings, totaling $115,000, while Congressman Morehead, the - Re publican from the adjoining dis trict, had secured in one year's time appropriations for public buildings amounting to more than 300,000. He showed that Mr. Page did not have as much influ ence with the administration as a private citizen, citing an instance where Page had failed to secure an appropriation, after which a citi zen got busy and secured it. He also showed that Mr. Page had re fased to vote for Bryan in 1896. He also showed up Mr. Page as be ing mightier than the Democratic party, citing instances .where Page had voted directlyligainst the pol: icies of the party; which be repre-. sented, and refusing to vote on many questions of vital importance that came up during his term as Congressman. Mr. Parker showed that during all the time the Demo crats were in power they had not prosecuted a single trust, and cit ing many instances during the past six years where trusts had" been prosecuted and dissolved by . the Republican party. " He showed that the Democratic party was a friend to the trusts, while his party were doing all in their power to put the trusts out of business. In touching on State issues, he showed that the Democratic party had not prosecu ted a single trust, saying that the anti trust law had no teeth and could do no damage. He , showed that the American Tobacco Com pany and the Democratic party were bedfellows, the biggest trust in the State purchasing some time ago a million dollars worth of North Carolina bonds, which could not be sold elsewhere. Mr. Parker was heartily cheered at different inter vals of his speech. y Mr. Page was introduced by Mr. G. E. Horn. He is a rapid talker and could doubtless make a good speech if he had any record be hind him of great things accom plished during the past eight years spent in Congress during which time he has received about $50,000 9 tbe people's m6iiey.'''.'Mp."Pagei was very nervous during his ad dress, being scarcely able to hold his extracts so he could read them. A number of times he forgot him self so far as to let his glasses slip from his trembling fingers, and the English' language was at times treated with disrespect.: But Mr. ?age did the best he could.. Men no own Jajrpads $re as -liable to njake mistakWas nnftlse. Mr. Page spent much time on the tar iff question, substantiating what Mr- Parker had set forth Of course Mr. Page told the people that the tariff was too high that he believed in a tariff for revenue only wirt a little extra thrown in 'urWd measure. Mr. Page ad mitted that he had done I nothing fa" this section while in Congress, and called on Democrats and Be- publicans to substantiate what he said. He said he couldn't do any thing, because he was not in sym pathy with the administration, and the Demociats cheered. Mr. Page admitted that he bolted Bryan in 1896, and said he did so because Bryan fused with the enemy. He admitted that he voted to suit him self on se veral eccasions, regardless of the wishes, of the people who elected him. Mr. Page said that there were no trusts to amount to anything during Cleveland's ad ministration. He also said that the Dukes, who are Republicans, owned the Cooleemee Cotton Mill, which was something new to the people in this county, who were under the impression that it was owned by Mr. Erwin, a Democrat, as it is named after him. Mr. Page touched Kghtly on the trust question in North Carolina, but did ring in Marion Butler for a mo ment. Mr. Page told his audience that he owned a railroad, the Ab erdeen & Asheboro; that be had once worked in a saw mill, had al so pulled, a locomotive throttle and did various other things. He said he had done more in the last year than Parker had done in his life. He boasted of his wealth, saying that he had enough money to edu cate his children and keep out of the poor house. He said that he had many old-line Republican friends who would not support Mr. Parker because he had been a De mocrat, and that some Bepublicans were mad about it. Mr. Page said many things that a man of his age and intelligence should not have said. If we have misquoted either of the gentlemen, it is a mistake of the head and hot of the heart. We wish to be fair in all matters. The gentlemen had a rejoinder of fif teen minutes each, in which they made things lively. Mr. Parker asked Mr. Page how he stood on the prohibition question. If Mr. Page answered him we failed to hear it. Some Democrats claim he answered by saying he was a 8tate? wide prohibitionist. He. was also asked if he believed in electing magistrates and school boards by a direct vote of the people. Mr. Page said be was opposed to the election of the school board by the people, but favored the magistrates being elected by the people. Mr. Page said that Mr. Parker didn't vote the Republican ticket two years ago, but didn't tell why. In justice to Mr. Parker, and owing to the fact that Mr. Page had the last speech, we wish to say that the only reason Mr. Parker did not vote the Republican ticket was that he had not been living in his vot ing precinct long enough to be en titled to vote. In conclusion, we wish to say that both speeches were on a high plane. There was no mud slinging, and but little but-ting-in" from the audience. Both parties" seemed to be well pleased with the speech delivered by their candidate. Mr. Parker is only 25 years eld, while Mr.' Page is said to be about 50, although he does not look more than 40. So far as looks go, Mr. Page was not in it a little bit. We cannot say whether a single vote was made or lost. The 8th day of November will tell the tale. The speakers went from this city to Yadkinville, where they wound up their joint canvass Wed nesday. ; . Forced To Leave Home.

It was our pleasure to attend the "Press Day" at the Appalachian Ex position on Friday, Sept. 30th. We left Mocksville Thursday evening and journeyed through to Knoxville, arriving there about 7 o'clock Friday morning. :At Ashevilie we fell in with our old friend C. B. Webb, of Statesville, who was on his way to purchase marble at Knoxville. At Morristown, Tenn., we met up with our old friend E, L. Davis, of R. 4, who was headed for the Exposition. On our arrival at Knoxville, we took in the city before going: to the Expo sition, which is about five miles dis tant. Knoxville is one of the busiest and, liveliest cities to be found any where in the South. We have al ways liked that city, having once lived in the adjoining county of Se vier, On our arrival at the Exposit ion grounds we were agreeably sur prised at the magnitude of the fair. The main building at the fair is a thing of beauty and the various ex hibits of fruits, grains, hardwoods and various other exhibits defy de scription. The various buildings, in cluding the negro building, with their exhibits, were good. The va rious attractions on the midway were of a high order, and the free attrac tions were good. The fireworks at night were the grandest sight we have ever seen and beggars descrip tion. At 10:30 Friday' morning the editors of Tennessee, vith their bet ter halves, daughters " and - sisters, and a few starving Tar' Heel editors, met at the auditorium 'and listened to a ' number "of good speeches, chief am ong them being the address by W. J. Oliver, ' the biggest man in Tennessee, and the man who made the Exposition possible, and who is the prime mover in all the great things that happen in East Tenne ssee. Wm. Rule, editor of the Knox ville Journal and Tribune also -rnadef a good speech, along with other edi tors whose names we cannot recall. Editor Cobb, of the Morganton News Herald, W. C. Martin, of the Lenoir News, Mayor Wakefield, Lenoir, and The Davie Record man, were the North Carolina newspaper men who were present.' At 1:30 p, m.,a lunch eon was served the newspaper fra ternity, which - consisted of many good thingsafter which more ad dresses were made. President Oliver then invited the paper men to mafke themselves at home, take anything they could get their hands on that they wanted; that the doors were open to them and all the shows and other attractions were theirs with out money and without price. At 6:30 p. m., a banquet was served the starving scribes at ""The Fernery." We cannot do ; this dinner justice with a pen, but on the night in ques tion we ate our fool self sick, and haven't fully recovered up to this hour. Mr. Oliver acted as toast master, and the wit and humor was equally well enjoyed along with the good things that were devoured. We met our old friend Bill Mont gomery, editor of the Sevierville Vindicator, a paper that we once fought, bled and cried for. Bill is the most original and one of the best editors in Tennessee, and no news paper gathering is complete with out him. May he live long and nev er grow poor. We wish to thank the Tennessee editors and President Oliver for the kind and hospitable manner in which we were treated while in their midst. We shall not soon forget their hospitality. We left Knoxville at 2 o'clock Saturday morning, arriving home Saturday afternoon. It was indeed a fine trip. Capt.

This is the time of year that the candidate mounts the stump and chews up the air alive aud spits it into your face like a young cyclone dining on a prarie town. They sweat irom trying to portray themselves to you as riding on the dome of the capitol at Wash ington City, with lhe Declaration of Indipendence in their vest pock et and picking their teeth with the forty-foot guns of the navy. When a man wants to get in of fice he begins to puff up with gi gantic reforms and just gets so full of 'em that they are stickin' out all over him like Spanishneedles in a pair oi cocton trousers, tus very heart bleed for the struggling poor likesogrum exudin' through an old hemp sack But when you have used all your energy, might and main hollered hurrah for him so load that the lightning bugs went in their holes to make lightning, and he gobbles up the other fellow's lunch and sails in on a large majority right then his sympathy and gonerasify takes a mighty sudden case of the dry swivels. His heart balls up and fails to beat as warmly for the common people as it did. The on ly thing he cares forthn is to draw his breath and his salary.

One is a pot and the others are kettles, and they are all black. And it will never beany better till the American voter wakes up and demands honesty and purity in the man who solicits his vote. Will you wake up, gentlemen, or will you go on snoozin' your lives away and let the slick-tongued rascal. play - foot-ball with your sacred rights? Laws Lash. Mr. D. L Raymer Postmaster. Landmark, 4th. Mr. Dewey L. Raymer has been appointed postmaster at Statesville to succeed Mr. J. W. C. Long, who has held the job for more than 13 years. Mr. Raymer received the official notification of his appoint ment and the blank bond4 for $8,000 Saturday. The bond was promptly filled and sent back to Washington and Mr. Raymer's commission as postmaster will be forwarded as soon as the bond is approved ; and it is expected that he will take charge as soon as. his commission arrives. The office pays $2,600 a year. The Printer's Dollar. "The printer's dollar, where art thou? A dollar here and a dollar there, scattered over numerous small towns all over the country, miles and miles apart how shall they be gath ered togather?

Come here in single file by column or platoon-so that the print er may send thee forth again to bat tle for him and vindicate, his credit, Reader, if ybu see a stray dollar a round your premises, sencl him home tenderly, for he art ours."
