I'LL MO?: RAM)IN.S
Reported by E. E. Hilliard.
Wednesday, 2nd inst, was Demo
cratic rally day in Scotland Neck
for four townships Scotland Neck,
Conoconara, Roseneath and Palmyra.
A thousand people gathered from all
parts of this community to hear
Democratic doctrine boldly and ably
proclaimed by that masterful stump
speaker, Hen. A. L. Brooks,, of
Greensboro. Numerous flags and
appropriate decorations graced the
speakers' stand, around which gath
ered a great number of ladies, a host
of Halifax county's sturdy Demo
crats and a regiment of school chil
dren, three hundred strong, to hear
party issues discussed.
At 11 o'clock, Hon. Claude Kitch
5n, the able and popular Representa
tive in Congress from the Second
.lislrict, called the meeting to order
and announced that the speaker of
the day would be introduced by Mr
A:;hby V. Dunn. In a few choice
and appropriate remarks, Mr. Dunn
gracefully introdu:ed the speaker,
paying high tribute to his splendid
type of pure Democracy, his able
and unselfish service to the State
and the good results of his patriotic
endeavors.
Mr. Brooks, in fitting terms, ac
knowledged the compliments paid
' him by the brilliant young speaker
who presented him to the great
audience, and expressed his appreci
ation of the opportunity to address
Halifax Democrats. For nearly two
hours he held the closest attention
of the audience in a clear and able
discussion of present political issues,
showing the corruption and incon
sistencies of the Republican party
from the davs of carpet-bag rule to
the present time. He declared that
many of the things which the Demo
cratic party has been advocating for
a score of years are now acknowl
edged by leading Republicans to be
the safe-guards to our national pros
perity. He discussed national issues
with a clearness which interested
jnd enlightened all who heard him,
showing particularly the unfairness
and imposition of a high tariff and
how it imposes intolerable burdens
! upon the American people and show
ing conclusively how the people can
be relieved of the burdens only by
the political policies advocated and
maintained by the Democratic party.
Turninc: from national affairs tc
-ur State interests Mr. Brooks re
hearsed many of the iniquities which
were pressed upon our people by the
Repuplican party when in power,
and dealt sledge-hammer blows
against the greed and perfidy of
Marion Butler for accepting employ
ment while United States Senator
from this State by those who through
him brought suit against North
Carolina for the payment of bonds
issued by a carpet-bag Legislature
and later repudiated by the patriotic
men who did such conspicuous ser
vice to the State in declaring th .
bonds fraudulent. He said that this
man Marion Butler is now making
efforts to bring the Republican party
back into power and showed in ir
resistable argument how Butler and
his associates are unworthy to be
trusted. He made a strong appeal
for a united effort on the part of all
Democrats to roll up a grand and
splendid majority in the coming
election, and declared that according
to President Taf t's own estimate of
the Republican party in this State,
expressed in a speech in Greensboro
two years ago has no suitable men
to hold positions of trust in the ad
ministration of our State govern
ment. By apt illustrations and fitting
anecdotes Mr. Brooks effectively em
phasized the great issues which he
Jiscussed and in perfection of sur
passing eloquence closed his great
uddress amid loud and long applause
of his delighted audience.
Hon. Claude Kitchin being called
for said he would not make a speech
himself, but would present a young
man of splendid ability, and a true
Democrat who would make a better
speech than he could. He presented
Mr. Albion Dunn, of Greenville,
formerly of this place.
Mr. Dunn was greeted with en
thusastic applause by his many
friends and admirers among whom
he was reared, and with whom he
has associated all his life until a few
months ago. In a strong and clear
speech he discussed Republican ini
quity and rapacity and told much of
the glorious record of Democracy.
At the close of Mr. Dunn's eloquent
address he was roundly applauded
and his home people felt proud of
him.
Hon. Claude Kitchin being again
called for, came forwrard and made
a ringing and stirring speech, after
the usual manner in which he ably
discussed all political issues. Closing,
Mr. Kitchin invited the great audi
ence to a most bountiful barbecue
which had been prepared in a near
by grove, and all partook to satis
faction of the splendid dinner which
had been so well prepared.
It was a great and stirring occas
ion and the day's work will show
great results in the election next
vveek.

Discussing the merits of narrow
roads as compared with wide ones,
the Savannah News submits that if
wide roads are constructed they will
not be constructed because of the
cost, and hence will soon dampen
good roads enthusiasm with expen
sive repairs. "The wiser plan," says
our contemporary truly, "is to con
struct roads that will be durable, and
if this plan is adopted it will compel
the building of narrow roads. If
we are to have in all of the countries
a system of good roads if we want
the people to keep the roads in re
pair w-hen constructed the narrow
road will have to be adopted. The
only objection to it is that accidents
due to frightened horses are more
likely to occur on narrow than on
wide roads. There is some truth in
that contention, but automobiles are
becoming so common that it will be
but a short time before horses will
not be alarmed by them."
Experience at home and observa
tion in the e-ood roads countries of
Europe have combined to produce a
general conviction that most Ameri
can roads are too wide. Narrower
roads would be better constructed
and more serviceable in every way.
As Mecklenburg county learned long
ago, the macadam strip should not
exceed buggy width, with a dirt road
mnninsr alongside. In bad weather
all travel is upon the macadam and
ha riirt marl is thus saved from
v-
nse or any other form of destruc
t'tve wrear. In good weather travel
i 1 , -, w i 1. flirt rnrl
is very iaigi umi vt..,
which, easier for beast, vehicle and
man, not only serves this excellent
mi r nose but saves the macadam un
nPf.Parv wear. The width furnish-
p:l bv the two roads together issuffi
cient for convenient passing and for
the frightened horses, which Ihe
News has in mind. More width than
this cometh simply of waste. It has
been shown that not only is durabili
ty thereby sacrificed, but that many
thousands of acres are needlessly
subtracted from American farms

CABBAGE WORM NOT POISONOUS.
Examination by State Entomotoajst of
Specimen From Wilmington.
Recently a "cabbage snake" was
found in a cabbage head at the homo
of Mr. N. Humphrey, corner Fourth
and Walnut streets, and he sent the
specimen to Raleigh to be examined,
report of which was received yester
day f i om Mr. Franklin Sherman, Jr.,
State Entomologist, which was as
follows:
"Upon examination I find that
this creature is commonly known as
a cabbage snake. It is truly a kind
of worm and not a snake and al
though many examinations have
been made of this creature both by
chemist3 and biologists, no evidence
of any form of poison has ever been
found. The creature is quite often
found in heads of cabbage and is
sometimes found in the core of ap
ples (usually, we believe, in apples
which have already been injured by
the common apple worm or codling
moth and which have fallen to the
ground). This species, or at least
a worm very much like it, is some
times found living in the bodies of
grasshoppers, crickets and some
other insects. Just how it gets into
all the situations in which it is found
is not always easy to un-Jerstand,
but it is perhaps carried by the in
sects which it attacks (grass-hoppers,
crickets, etc.) and left in some
of these situations. Although there
has been a great deal written con
cerning this so-called cabbage snake,
it is, so far as we know, perfectly
harmless to man and there is no oc
casion for abandoning the use of
cabbage as a table vegetable. It is,
of course worth while to wash all
such vegetables thoroughly before
cooking." Wilmington Star.

There was quite an unfoitunate
accident at House's lumber yard,
four miles south of this place, on
the A. C. L., Monday morning early-
two darkies, Edward Pierce and
Charlie Pittman being very badly
hurt. It seems that both of them
were standing on the track looking
at the train shift cars, and failed to
see several cars creeping up behind
them, and were knocked' down be
fore they were aware of danger.
Dr. Furgerson went down to attend
them, and said that Pierces arm wras
broken, his ear injured, and was
probably otherwise injured, and
Pittman was badly hurt and would
hardly recover.
It may be that tne new theory of
pellagra as caused by a biting gnat
will finally prevail, or that some
theory not yet pronounced will t-ke
i its place, but meanwhile the tenacity
of the corn theoiy is shown by the
n-
deavoring to stamp out the use of
corn for human food. With this end
in view, six government steam bak
eries making rye bread have recent'y
been established in the Tyrol region.
Strict prohibitior,s nave been issir-e 1

ment has taken similar measures
This is an extreme and doubtless un
warranted course. We hpe that
corn will some day be conclusively
acquitted. Meanwhile, however,
reasonable precautions against corn
cured off the stalk or otherwise pos
sibly infected are in order on the
part of both government and indi
viduals. Charlotte Observer.
CURING CATARRH.
The Jefferscnian.
Accept Our Advice and Try This Rem
edy at Our Risk.
There is no excuse for half heart-
edness in behalf of the temperance
reform . There is no lack of light on
the deadly influence of liquor on the
health, the morals, the safety of the
people; nor can it be excused if peo
ple, knowing the deadly character of
drink, keep on protecting it by their
votes Central Christian Advocate.
Catarrh is a diease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane
is, one may say, the interior lining of
the body. Catarrh therefore may
exist in any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, inflammation
and congestion are produced and
nature fails to throw off the accumu
lated poisons. The organ which has
been afflicted ceases to perform its
proper function as nature intended
it should. The result is complication
upon complication, which may lead
to other even more serious afflictions,
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu
Tone will do wonders towards over
catarrh. It is made from
the prescription of an eminent phy
sician who made a long study of ca
tarrh, and his great success with this
remedy was an enviable one.
We want you if you are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give
Rexall Mucu-Tone a thorough trial.
Use it with regularity and persist
ency for a reasonable time, then if
you are not satisfied, come back and
tell us, and without question or for
mality we will hand back to you
every cent you paid us. This is cer
tainly the fairest offer that any one
could make and should attest our
sincerity of purpose. It comes in
