What the Farmers Pay.
The farmer, lie pays the freight, the
tax, and the pensions, and to do this
he has to cultivate three acres in order
fnr his own use the DroduCt of

tern of iniquity and oppression to which
any free people ever submitted, and
yet the farmer who works three days
for two days' wages is expected to
walk up to the polls and vote for pro
tection, which he never gets. Down
with the war tariff!
Mr. Simmons and Mr, Kitchin.
To the Editor: May I ask a ques
tion and will some of Governor Kitchin's
friends please tell why every man who
gets in his way becomes a Judas, a
Repnblican, traitor, a wolf, in sheep's
clothing. Mr. Craig was a man who
was held in high rankand esteem and
had the confidence of his people, but
as soon as he got in Mr. Kitchin's way
he became a traitor, a Republican of
the deepest dye. But as soon as the
tight was over, then again Mr. Craig is
a gentlemen, a man worthy to become
the Governor of North Carolina. But
now Mr. Simmons has got in his path
as I find he, too, has turned black, be
comes Judas, traitor, Republican. And
why is he a Republican? If I under
stand it is because when a Republican
President asked that the gap be taken
down so Canada could send in all her
raw material, and farmers here should
not be protected, but the factory was
Mr. Simmons said: "I can't do that
because it discriminates against the
farmer:" but says he, "give the farmer
the same chance as you do the factory
and I will vote for the bill." I wish to
know if protecting the classes and
leaving unprotected the farmer and the
masses is what Mr Kitchin means to
say is Democratic. If that is what it
means, then deliver me. And I wish to
say to mv farmer friends: "Do you
want a man that invites competition
to beat down your prices, but says pro
tect the factory?" E. J. Fletcher, in
Rocky Mount Echo.
Stovall Short Stops.
We are sorry to learn of the continued
illness of Mr. Lewis Wilson.
We are dlad to see Mr.Taz Cutts out
again after an attack of rheumatism.
There will be services in the Presby
terian Church next Sunday night at
7.30, conducted by Rev. Mr. Joines.
Vaneination is in style here, and
nearly every child you meet says "be
careful, please, and don't touch my

Mr W. P. Slaughter who has been on
an extended visit to J. P. Williams,
near Virgilina, is the guest of Mr. Jas.

One of our merchants was posting
up his books recently and came across
an article charged, which he could
i.i 1 I .V.
not make out, ami called me cier wuu
made the entry to render an explana
tion. After scrutinizing the entry a
moment the clerk replied that it was
a physical impossibility to tell what it
was since it was entered on the book
one whole week.
Some claim it is caused by eating
the seed of tomatoes; by flour ground
by a roller mill, the iron washing off
the roller: by eating corn meal made
from corn in a molded state, but I
claim it is caused by eating victuals
cooked or stewed in a blacK tin or
galvanized pan. If you put fruit that
contains acid in any other than a por
celain vessel and stir it you will find
a sediment foreign to the fruit which
is doubtless nothing less than the
shedding of the inner surface of the
cooking utensil. When you eat the
fruit you also consume a quanty of
lsad or tin. which I think brings on ap
pendicitis. I have a right to mv own
opinions, but would be pleased to hear
from others on the subject.

A Senatorial Poem,
What a queer thing is this senator chat,
Who ever dreamed of a fight like that?
Who ever thought that divided we d ne.
As to who should succeed "Old Mary
Ann B."
Do vou remember, in ninty-eight.
When we started in to save the State;!
When negro rule was having full svay,
And everything good had been driyen j
away.
What was it then, when we needed a
man,
To lead us out from under that band.
That went to the wheel of the "old
ship" of State,
And headed her straight for the golden
gate.
Who's mighty brain and powerful hand, j
Brought tne old snip saie to lanac
Brought her out of a sea of despair,
And placed her in a harbor fair?
Where she'll stay for the ages to come,
An ever reminder of work well done;
And who do you say is this leader
brave,
That did our good "Old North State"
Save?
Why F. M. Simmons, our chairman
great,
Who Pops and Republicans fear and
Now isn't it right, and isn't it fair,
That we give to him a Senator s chair?
There is no man more able than he,
To defend the rights of our N. C.
And be it early or be it late
He'll e'er stand firm fos the "Old North
State."

The 4Houn' Dawg" Song.
The following are the words of the
now celebrated Missouri "Houn' Dawg"
song which is sweeping over America.
Everytime I come to town,
The boys keep a-kickin' my dwag
aroun';
Makes no difference if he is a hound'
They got a-quit kickin' my dawg aroun.'
CHORUS.
"Chaw de meat and save de bone;
01' Blue Neck lives on Tallybone.
Makes no difference if he is a houn'.
You gotta quit a-kickin' my dwag
aroun .
Sambo, lay that banju down.
You good for nothin', trifliii houn';
Makes no difference if he is a houn',
You got a-quit kickin' my dwag around'.
Every time I go to school
The teacher lams we with a rule;
Makes no difference if I am a fool,
She's got a-quit lammin' me with a rule.
Sift the meal an' save the bran;
You't drow taters in sandv lan'.
Makes no difference if he is a houn'.
You got a-quit kickin' my dwag aroun.
Mv riwnd Drum is a good ol' houn':
Trails the possum on the driest groun'.
Makes no dinerence 11 ne is a noun ,
You got a-quit kickin' my dawg aroun'!
