THE RUTHERFORDTON SUN, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1908. MR.J.ELWOODGOX GIVES HIS VIEWS (Continued from First page.) just and strict regulation of all rail roads and other public carriers, and in requiring all corporations to obey the laws as strictly and faithfuly as the humblest private citizen. I favor such laws as will "give to the Federal government greater super vision and control over, and secure greater publicity iu, the management of that class of corporations engaged in interstate commerce having power and opportunities to effect monopo lies." And in this connection I beg to state emphatically that I have not a dollar invested in any sort of combine or trust, or in any line of business that any man can fairly claim even savors of a trust. It is not improper, since I have been so misquoted and misrepresented as to my attitude towards railroads to state that in 1889 the people of my community, seeing the great necessity for building a railroad south of us, to bring out the large quantity of lumber in that direction, organized the High Point, Kandleman, Asheboro & Southern Railroad Company, and at a meeting of the stockholders composed of my neierhbors and friends I was elected president and a director of the com pany and devoted much time and la bor and some money towards the com pletion of this road. Soon after the completion of this road it was sold to the old Richmond & Danville, and since retained the place as director in this local company, and by reason of holding this place as director have lawfully carried an annual pass ever since. This annual pass came to me legitimately and I have never seen any sufficient reason why I should refuse it. Outside of the investment in this local road I have no financial interest direct or indirect in any other rail road. It is due me that I should state positively that I have never asked for orrecieved a rebate from any railroad company. - I am strongly opposed to rebates or any sort discrimination, and, speak ing for myself, have never been able to-, understand why the railroads should give Virginia cities better rates than they give North Carolina cities. This question should receive the continued and urgent attention of our people until it is corrected. While railroads should be required to make reasonable schedules and give reasonable accommodations, we should not overlook the enormous ex pense of their operation and their great losses by accident and otherwise. We should deal firmly and fairly with them and at the same time not forget that they are the greatest factors in our industrial life and should be en couraged to extend every reasonable convenience to the people. I favor the fullest protection to the railroad employe and the highest com pensation commensurate with the risk he assumes and the services he ren ders. Since my position upon the ques tion of freight rates has been misrep resented, and my testimony before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington in the spring of 1905 has been so.wilfully garbled and distorted, I am giving to the public in a separ ate document my complete testimony before this commission; having no de sire to conceal any opinion or any statement upon this, or any other question. I heartily favor a liberal policy to wards our higher institutions of learn ing, and ample provision for the needs of our charitable institutions, includ ing generous provision for our Con federate veterans. No higher or greater obligation rests upon us than that which we owe to the youthful criminals of our State. Humanity demands that we should provide reformatories for their cor rection and training. I favor a fair election law and be lieve that every elector should be pro tected in his right to cast a ballot pri vately and without any sort of inter ference or dictation, and that the peo ple should have a voice in the selection of all of theic public servants. One of the most important and press ing questions which now vitally con cerns our people is that of improve ment of our public roads and demands our best thought and most earnest at tention. There is no more important question confronting us than that of education of all our children and I am willing to go to the length of subscribing to the policy that the State shall furnish, free of charge and under proper regu lations, to every child in our public schools all necessary text-books, which policy has already been adopted by many of the most progressive States of the Union. I firmly believe that the great cause of education should be eliminatied from the field of politics, and that the time will soon come when the people of North Caro lina will demand it to be taken and kept ou( of politics. This is the trade-mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on every bottle of it sold in the world which amounts to several millions yearly.

SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., N.Y. Let me observe that political and economic conditions change by pe riods. This State has reached a pe riod when economic conditions require change in the political government. We long ago passed the convalescent period in recovering from the downfall of slavery and the disaster of the civil war. In the movement to get away from these old things North Carolina is leading all the Southern States The fact that there is here a whole some and forceful Republican party is evidence of the fact that we are further away from old conditions and nearer abreast with modern conditions than any other State in the South. In spite of hostile legislation which has materially retarded her progress, North Carolina which was at one time the third State in the Union in population and wealth can soon again resume her relatively high position amongst her sister States, both in material prosperity and polit ical importance. REPUBLICANS AND PROSPERITY The Republican party is more in sympathy with the essential elements of modern prosperity than the Demo cratic party. It stands for those things and those policies which more largely favor the growth and expan sion of our material interest. I cannot emphasize the fact too strongly that neither our State nor the South has had the influence in nation al affairs that they once had. In or der to exercise again a rightful influ ence in the nation we must occupy our selves with economic questions rather than political questions and in strug gle for office. When the people of North Carolina once see the wisdom of giving equal support to two politi cal parties, so that the one doing the most for the economic welfare of the State gets the votes, we will have at tained a position of political strength in the nation to which this old Com monwealth is entitled by reason of her past history and glorious prestige. The Republican party invites sup port not only for it3 national ticket, but for the ticket inside the State, with the belief that such support would mean the best interest of the State of North Carolina. In my short speech of acceptance in the Charlotte convention I emphasized the fact that the one feature of that great convention which impressed me more perhaps than any other, which appealed strongly to me, and which had largely to do with my decision, was the presence of so many stalwart young men who had enlisted under the Republican standard. AN APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN. And I cannot conclude this letter without making an earnest appeal to the young men of our State. The economic and political condi tions of 1908 in North Carolina are not what they were in 1868. Condi tions have changed. To these young men I am not appealing for their votes, for I would not have them vote otherwise than their judgment and conscience dictate. But to them I do appeal and ask that they study the history of the policies and achieve ments of the great Republican party of this country and to study well the opportunities which this party has made possible for them before they choose their political affiliations. In a certain sense a younff man of $100 ueward, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded diseas that science has been able to cure in aU its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hail's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being- a constitutional dis ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by build ing up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

By the law of nature the future des tiny of the State is in the hands of the young men. They musttake our places when we are gone write the laws, fill the offices and blaze and cut out the intellectual, political and industrial highway. It is the first step that counts, said the great Napoleon. It is oftentimes a man's first vote that determines his political future. To the young men I appeal most earnestly to give to the great ques tions which are to-day before the peo ple of North Carolina their closest study and their calmest judgment, and to follow the fortunes of the political party which stands for the principles and policies best culculated to insure the peace and prosperity of this great State. I ask them to shape their course by hopes of the future and not by prejudices of the past. More I have no right to ask, less they cannot afford to do. Finally, if elected Governor of North Carolina my administration will not be characterized as a politi cal administration, but purely that of a business man, having no axe to grind, orpolitical debts to pay, or fnture political ambition to satisfy. Respectfully, J. EL WOOD COX. High Point, September 17th. 1908 Improve The Town Property, We are all interested in the prosperity of onr town. We can contribute to it materially, and give it a far more pros perous look at the same time. Perhaps the public property needs a good coat of paint. Devoe will supply that coat with two thirds of the number of gallons required of any other. Devoe will last twice as long as any other. Devoe is all paint and full-measure. Devoe is the strong est paint known. Devoe will take care of the property, in the long run, for half the money required by any other. The reason is stated above : Devoe is all paint and full-measure : the strongest paint known. E D Jewell Corrv, Pa, painted his house 5 years ago with a mixed paint ; took 14 gallons. Last spring he repaint ed with Devoe; bought 14 gallons and had 4 left. Saved $15 to $20, as painting costs two or three times as much as the paint. 8 Dr. T. B. Twitty Drug Co.

John A. Dix, of Washington county, was nominated for Lieutenant-Governor. All opposition to Mr. Chanler disappeared after a confer ence of the State leaders. Passed Examination Successfully. James Donahue, New Britain, Conn. , writes : "I tried several kidney remedies, and was treated by our best physicians for diabetes, but did not improve until I took Foley's Kidney Remedy. After the second bottle I showed improve ment, and five bottles cured me com pletely. I have Bince passed a rigid ex amination for life insurance." Foley's Kidney Remedy cures backache and all forms of kidney and bladder tron- ble. For sale by all druggists. Major Graham Appointed. Governor Glenn on Wednesday of last week appointed Maj. W. A. Graham, of Lincoln county, Commissioner of Agri culture to fill out the unexpired term of Mr. S. L. Patterson, who died a few days ago. Major Graham is the Demo cratic nominee for this position. When Trifles Become Troubles. If any person suspects that their kid neys are deranged they should take Fo ley's Kidney Remedy at once and not risk having Bright's disease or diabetes. Delay gives the disease a stronger foot hold and yon should not delay taking Foley's Kidney Remedy. For sale by all druggists. Bale of Lands.
