Clever Story ot a Man, a Maid and a Iroa Kettle. Here Is an Ingenious Circassian sto ry: A man was walking along one road and a woman along another. The roads finally united, and the man and the woman, reaching the junction at the same time, went on from there to gether. The man was carrying a. large iron kettle oa his back. la one hand he held by the leg a lire chicken, in the other a cane, and he was leading goat. Just as they were coming to deep, dark ravine the woman said to the man: Z'- ':.:' "I am afraid to go through that dark ravine with you. ' It is a lonely place, and yon might overpower me and kiss roe uy lorce. ? "If you are, afraid of that," said the man, "you shouldn't have walked with me at all.; How can I possibly over come you and kiss you by force when I have this great iron kettle on my back, a cane in one hand and' a live chicken In the other and am leading a goat? might as well be tied hand and foot." "Yes,", replied the woman, "but if you . should stick , your cane in the ground and tie the 'goat to it and turn the kettle bottom side up and put the chicken under It, then you might Wick edly kiss me in spite of my resist ance." : v '; v'''Z,::J V "Success .to thy ingenuity, O wom an!" said the man to himself. "I should never have thought of this expedient' And when they came to the ravine he stuck his cane into the ground and tied the goat to it, gave the chicken to the woman, saying, "Hold it while I cut some grass for the goat," and then, lowering the kettle from his shoulders, he wickedly kissed the woman, as she was afraid he would. Stray Stories. THE UNTOLD. Why Mrs. Cavil Failed to Bo Inform ed bjr Her Husband. ' "I didn't, tell you, did I, Mildred." said Mr. Cavil to his wife, "that I saw your sister Jane down town this day week?" "No, you didn't, Charles Augustus Cavil," replied Mrs. Cavil. "Why didn't jou?" , "Well, you see"- s "Yes, I see. You meet the only sister I have in the world, and instead of coming straight home and telling me about it the same day, as any respect able husband would have done, you keep the matter secret a whole week and then ask carelessly If you have mentioned the fact that you saw her." "But my dear" "Don't but me, Charles Augustus Ca vil.

Simmons' Enemies Are , Mostly - Republicans, -Populists And Mugwumps. , Communication. Mb. Editor: As a Democrat and as a supporter of F. M. Simmons for senator, 1 wish to say a word in regard to the present contest, and to call the attention of Lenoir county Democrats to a curious tact in the history of our local Democ racy. ': First, let me say that when I say Dem ocrat I do not mean gold Democrats, for they, are .Republicans: nor protection Democrats, for they are Bepublican; nor imperialist Democrats, for they are Re publicans: nor McKinlev Democrats, for tney are itepuoncans. r To explain whom I do mean let me tell this: A few days ago I met on the street a man who was an avowed McKinleyite but who has always claimed to be a Dem ocrat. 1 asked him if he was going to vote for Bryan. Said he: : "No, I . can't vote ior tsryan on account or his monev ideas, but I am a Democrat." - What do , you think of imDerialism tnen t" said l. "Uh well, there. is no such thing as imperialism, but I do believe in well, how about trusts?" Savs he: "1 11 tell you just how I stand about trusts. I think both parties talk against them, but they both help 'em." v Bight then I quit in disgust wondering nowamanwicn nan sense could hold such views and expect to be called a Democrat. That is the kind of Democrat I am not talking to. The man above referred to is wearing a Carr button and is one of Gen. Carr's strongest supporters here. V - ---...v. f vt,; Ji--'. Not to discuss personalities what does each candidate stand for? What does each candidate represent? What quail- viva u iwtwiajDUBuiu. ivauerBuiy : una Democracy does each represent? It is conceded by all that (Jen. Carr is a generous, philanthrophic citizen of great wealth. Beyond that, what? I nave known of him for 20 years and, until the last tew years, never beard him accused of statesmanship nor leadership. Until this present time bis Democracy has been unquestioned; but T, for one, should be very much disposed to question the Dem ocracy 01 a man who savs that if he can get "a free ballot and fair count" he will he elected, thereby saying in effect, that u he is deleated it will be by fraud and corruption. No man who makes such achanre is fit to belong to the party be accuses of such methods. ' 11 my inenas wui only turn out on election day and vote, victory is assured, and aside from my personal interest, it is of the utmost importance that there be a free and full ballot and an honest and fair count "Of the utmost importance" to whom "aside from his personal interest?" To those who have cried fraud against the Democrats at every election? To those whose stock in trade is the cry of corrup tion? Why should a Democratic candi date for senator think that anything is of "the utmost importance'? to . those vicious scoundrels who know no other reason for Democratic success? And again, it is claimed by Carr advo cates that bimmons Is a "political trick ster," a "machine politician," and every thing else but what he really is; that the "machine" . is ' behind him, etc., ad nau seum. If the "machine" la behind him rhat is the "machine" except those Democrats who, since the days of 1868. have borne the heat and burden of every campaign; who reclaimed the State in 1P76 by the help of Zeb Vance and Tboe. J. Jarvis. who were the leaders of the "machine." It is the same collection of Democrats who in 1898 and on into 1900 worked without hope of reward or fear of pun- isnmenc ior tne redemption 01 theij good old State and who are now wwrking mgtit ana day ior tne success 01 W liliam J. Bryan and our Democratic congress men. If by the "machine" is meant these peo pie, I firmly believe they are unwittingly telling the truth. ,- And who is behind Gen. Carr? It is hard to tell in this county. The man who talks most for him on the streets is Frti if ChtrcB.

The most influ ential Republican in the county said the other day that many Republicans and Populists' would vote for Bryan and Kitchin just to qualify to vote for Carr. I have been negroes wearing Carr but tons and some of them may be deluded into thinking they can follow instruc tions and vote for Carr. Few real Democrats will vote for Carr unless they have some personal grudge against Simmons, as some few mny have in this county, but the great body of the Democrats will vote for the man who has earned the senatorship by his un tainted Democracy, unswerving integrity and unequaled party ' service. He has earned it over again by the vituperation and dirty moutbings from Republicans and Populists, which he has patiently borne for years. . As to the abuse being heaped upon him these days by Democrats, it has long been a proverb that only a dirty bird will foul its own nest. A Democrat can be a Democrat and vote against Sim mons, but uo Democrat can abuse him for being a "machine politician," or a "political trickster" and not be a rank hypocrite and a participant in the shame with which he would cover the most faithful and devoted public servant in the bounds of North Carolina today.
