her parental power is gone. So the

A JUBILANT CLOSING.
Amidst Great Rejoicing the County Cam
paign Closed at Hargrove.
The Democratic candidates and
other speakers were at Stovall on
last Friday and spoke to a good
crowd of the truly yeomandry of that
section who gave good attention and
were very enthusiastic. The candi
dates present were introduced by
(Jen. Koyster and made their an
nouncement, and Judge Graham
made a long and splendid address
which was received with much ap
plause. A. A. Hicks Esq.. followed
Judge Graham and delivered a short
but excellent speech, abounding, as
his speeches always do, In keen wit
which help to carry home his strong
argument. Mr. Hicks was followed
by Mr. W. A. Devln and Mr. Wm. 11.
Harrison, whose speeches were also
received with applause.
The candidates were at Clay Sat
urday. After the announcements by
the other candidates, Mr. Hicks made
a good speech and was loudly cheered.
Gen. Royster followed Mr. Hicks in a
most magnificent effort. He spoke
for one hour and fifteen minutes. He
was greeted with most rapturous ap
plause and his speech, no doubt did
much good. Mr. Wm. If. Harrison
was also present, and being called
for. made a short speech.
iMonday was the candidates day
at Tar River. The candidates were
all Introduced by Mr. Wm. H. Har
rison and they made their announce
ments in a very graceful manner. Mr.
Hicks made a good speech as he al
ways does and was warmly cheered.
Mr. Wm. H. Harrison also spoke and
was well received.
On Monday night the candidates
and other speakers were at 1 1 argrove.
Gen. Royster was present and intro
duced them in his usual happy man
ner. Judge Graham made one of the
best speeches we have ever heard him
make, covering the whole ground
and completely demolishing the en
government and from misrule and
incompetency. The Democracy has
been impressed with what It already
knew that the socalled Independent
Democrats were trying to deceive the
people under a new name. But to
wards the close of the campaign and
on election day the many "devices"
they used showed their hand plainer
than ever.
We are prouder of the true man
hood of good old Granville county
than ever before. As the great W. J.
Bryan has said, "They have placed
the man above the dollar." The
American Tobacco Company and
other corporate interests should have
learned a lesson during the campaign
In Granville. They can buy beef and
pork and sheep and try to "stuff" the
people with that, but they cannot
stuff them with t heir principles. No,
they are not yet ready to sell out.
The American Tobacco Company
can price the farmers' tobacco, but
tLey cannot put a price on their prin
ciples as the vote shows. The test
has been applied a nd has failed. Va
ried and sundry interests have been
used to defeat the county ticket, and
Clark, Graham and Hicks, yet with
out success. The trust and" different
Railroad interests, and other things
have conspired to blacken t he good
name of Judge Clark and to defeat
h?s election, but without success.
The success he has achieved is grati
fying. It not only Indicates safe and
honest political principles, but It in
dicates the high moral tons of our
people. They stand for Clark, be
cause they believe they are standing
for the right. They believe that he
stands for equality before the law.
The shafts of venon and ridicule and
falsehood have been hurled at him,
but without avail. From all direc
tions the arrows poisoned and dead
ly arrows have been shot at him,
but the strength of the archer was
not sufficient. His strong coat of
niail his integrity has remained in
tact.
We rejoice that all our county tick
et has an overwhelming majority.
We especially rejoice that our noble
Judge (iraham has such a splendid!
majority; for ft seemed that all the
weapons of the enemy were turned on
him; but he should feel proud of that,
for they fought him because he has
stood for the people and against cor
porate greed. But he has met the
enemy and has repulsed them with
a majority of 054.
If the strange unfathered circular,
which so basely attacked Judge (Jra
ham had been sent out a few days
sooner we do not know how large
hi majority would have been cer
tainly' larger than It was. It came
soon enough, however, to gain many
votes for him. The enemy will have
to learn that there are still many
true white men In Granville who love
fair play and who will resent any
unfair attack upon a worthy citizen.
Mr. Hicks also received a very
gratlfyfng majority. We know Mr.
Hicks and know what he has done
for us in the past. He represented
us well and ably when in the Senate
in 1SD9 and will do so again. The en
tire Senatorial district will feel proud
1280; Kitchin over Patterson 1310; Hicks over Thomas 1230; (Jraham over
Mayes over (Harrington 1350; Howard
emy. There was much enthusiasm
as he closed. Gen. Royster also spoke
and made a great speech. The Gen
eral was at his best that night and
nearly surpassed himself. He was
wildly cheered as he swayed the peo
ple with his keen logic and matchless
oratory. There was a large crowd
present at least 175. This was cer
tainly one of the most enthusiastic
meetings held in Granville for some
time. The "unterrified" were out
with their hearts full of love for the
"great cause" and were already re
joicing over the victory just in sight.
So the closing of the campaign was
glorious.

tlection Notes,
Caswell county gives entire Dem
ocratic majority of six to eignt hun
dred, including Kitchin for Congress,
and Graves for solicitor.
The Legislature is strongly Demo
cratic as the News & Observer pre
dicted. Reliable reports from tho
small Western counties have not
been received, but the Democrats will
have something like 100 of the 120
members.

Judge Clark carries tne county ny

Rockingham gives Kitchin about
1,000 majority.
Alamance gives Kithcin over 500

Seven townships in Franklin coun

Old Granville can now congratu
late herself upon the two able repre
sentatives she will have ln the next
Legislature. We can all rest assured
that our interests will be cared for
and tha t we will be most ably repre
sented. Hurrah for Judge Graham.Seuator
Hicks and the whole county ticket,
and the gallant W. W. Kitchin who
is elected over Patterson from four to
5,000 majority!
We have won a great victory even
if some few of our Democratic people
have been inactive and have failed
to give the party their active co
operation during the campaign. Such
lndirierence Is not to be excused in
those who have influence and who
ought to use it.
The splendid news of a rousing
Democratic victory In North Caroli
na swept with elecric rush over the
State last night, and once again has
the nonest manhood of North Caro
lina rebuked those who would throt
tle this proud State.
It is only the size of the Democrat
ic majority that is ln doubt, and up
to an early hour this morning it
looks as if the majority would ex
ceed 5,000.
The returns are too meagre to es
timate how many scratched Clark
In 10 counties ( including 2 counties
which scratched him 200 each) the
average is 4o to a county. If this
should be maintained ln the State It
would make 4,171. But the figures
will be nearer 3,000.
In 19 counties the average number
of negroes voting was 01. This would
give 5,918 for the State. The coun
ties not heard from are the small
counties. It is doubtful if more than
0.000 negroes voted.
The ruturns received up to going
to press show that all ten Democrat
ic Congressmen have been elected,
though the majorities are not known
absolutely.
This is great glory for the State. A
Democratic Senator will be elected in
January and then North Carolina
will be represented in Washington
by twelve good and hue Democrats
ah nan to tne true and good peo
ple of North Carolina who have
made this day possible. It comes as
the happy forecast of better times
for the State, and thus set on foot
by the constitutional amendment.
The people have made a noble
choice, and they will find that their
hopes, based on Democracy's pledges,
are on a solid rock, says the News
and Observer.
In Vance the Democratic majority
is about 0U, and our friend W. B
Daniel, whom the American Tobacco
Co. fought so hard, was re-elected to
the Legislature. About 25 cratched
Clark. About 20 Democrats voted
for Hill. About 40 negroes voted.
The full vote Is about 1,550.
Durham county went Democratic
by about 1,000 majority. Clark ran
very little behind the ticket. Kltch
In's majority is 934. Jones Fuller's,
for the Legislature, is about 700. The
' entire Democratic ticket Is elected by

His wrist was sprained, and one log
rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been a lively time
When father rode the goat.
He's resting on the couch today
And practicing his signs
The hailing signal, working grip,
And other nionkeyshines;
He mutters passwords 'neathhls
breath,
And other things he'il quote
They surely had an evening's work
W.Men father rode the goat.
He has a gorgeous uniform,
All gold and red and blue,
A ha t with plumes and yellow braid,
And golden badges, too.
But somehow when we mention It,
He wears a look so grim
We wonder if he rode the goat
Or if the goat rode him.
