Ed Taylor, Esq., of South port, and H. Edmund Rodgers, Esq., o: this city, belittle the work of the present administration and laud the Republican party to the skies. The night was not one to invite persons from their homes, yet the Republi cans flocked to the Court House to hear what these" gentlemen bad- to eay. Mr. J. W. Brooks, chairman of the Republican County" Executive Committee, presided at the meeting, and the speakers were introduced by Messrs. E. H. Freeman and O. T. Wal lace. Mr. Rodgers spoke "-first and com pared President Wilson to the rail road engineer who is unable to meet emergencies and therefore should be replaced with one who is capable of handling the many trying circum stances that confront the Nation's chief executive in these days. Mr. Rodgers urged that the, matter be looked at in an impartial manner, add ing that the gathering was merely a prelude to what would occur on November 7, when the yeomanry of the country go to the polls and exer cise their privilege, of the franchise.' He declared that one occupying the White House should- be able to judge everything aright and be able to use the proper discretion in all matters. He-declared that President Wilson had met his emergencies in a very poor manner and argued that because of this he. should be replaced by one more capable. He pointed out that the Mexican situation began coming to "a head" thirteen days prior to Mr: Wilson's inauguration and added that he asked Mr. Taft, then President, to "lay off" the mat ter, as he would" Tiandle it. Mr. Rod gers declared that the President had applied about five different remedies without success. He charged the ad ministration with sending personal representatives ,to our sister repub lic, of lifting the embargo on arms and ammunition ' and? added that more men were killed at Vera Cruz than were killed in the Spanish-American war, to say nothing of the addi tional soldiers and Americans who had been slain in Mexico by American-manufactured bullets since the Vera Cruz incident. Further than this Mr. Rodgers declared that the American flag had not yet been sa luted. He was - very much of the opinion that the President should be held to "strict accountability." He declared that Wilmington has one of the best harbors south of Del-J nwnrp and added that it was not 4 not properly being looked after. He thought it should be looked after, im proved, and he dwelt at length upon the President's attitude toward the statute giving American ships en gaged in the coastwise trade free tolls. Mr. Rodgers declared that the Panama Canal was built with Ameri can money and by American ingenu ity and thought America should ben efit by it. He argued that a half mil lion dollar custom house would be of little service here unless the busi ness is obtained. ' Mr. Rodgers is convinced that our present "battlefield prosperity is not going to last and told his audience that when peace was declared in Eu rope a strong man would be needed at the helm and he told his listeners that Charles E. Hughes was the man. He declared that Mr. Hughes' s?ast record showed conclusively that he was able to cope with any and all situations and that the yeomanry of the country should cast their bal lots for him on November 7th. Mr. Taylor, who spoke after Mr. Rodeers had completed, told his au dience that the principle of free trade advocated by the Democratic party was not sound and declared that the Democratic party had retained the power in he State on sentimental grounds alone. The cry of "nigger" has kept them in office, according to Mr. Taylor . The Bouthport gentle man declared that the National Re publican party was responsible for ,the wonderful progress xegistered by North Carolina during the past years and that the Dem'ocratc State officers had had very little to do with the State's wonderful growth. He is convinced that if the Repub lican party controlled the State the progress would be even greater than it has been and added that the race in New Hanover is too one-sided for the good of the community. Mr. Taylor declared that the Democrats were so powerful in this county that it was not necessary for the party to get out a good man for office, declar ing that opposition would bring out the best in the county-, and would force these officers, after elected, to walk a "chalk-line." ' Mr. Taylor dwelt at length upon the hard times of the Cleveland ad ministration, caused by free trade and tree silver and other- things of a free nature? and while he held the Democrats to account for these hard times he refused to credit the Wil son administration for the present prosperity that is Nation-wide, at tributing this to the present titanic strueerle that is beiner waited in Europe. ' The Souhport gentleman " declared that the Democratic platform - had been riddled and torn to pieces and charged the party with going back on every plank of consequence in its llU I r-i , lUrtlPn I rir f rPMl rim rVr I onn a Hlhnir ArA nmincr 1111 " 1V If II II II II U II .

The Ministers Association begs to la3r before the churcheof Wilming ton and the pubUcgenerally during Saturday and Sutdar the cause of the sufferiniTothe lnians,v Syrians'; and Persians. ' ; By jroclamation of the President of the United States, these two days have been set aside asl a time of Brotherry-. feousiderUon of those af flicted People, -Perhaps the most af flicted of all .these is Armenia, a Christian country since the days of the Apostles.' The Turks first drafted many of the men into the army, then upon one pretext or another sorted them out, marched them fasioVand shot them down. Or in many sections the Turks gathered the men, young and old, took them to sea, or marched them away, and they never returned. Young .men, boys and old "men from twelve to thirteen years old and up ward, , have been murdered by the thousands. Many of the girls or women have suffered death or worsen Whole com munities have been driven from their homes, over mountains and across deserts, and ihat without sufficient food, clothing or attention. Manv die by the wayside, many are perishing 1 wnue you read these words and the moans of the dying and the restless cties of little ones starving fall upon the ears of the missionaries and rise to GodAndv we are vour brother's keeper. v ;. The treatment or the women and Sirts by the Kurds and Turks can not be told here. t Where they are being allowed to- live, their living is worse than death Of the two million Armenians at the outbreak of the war, it is estimated tha f one . million- have perished al ready, and unless we of America save them, then soon very many of the other million must die. Shall we not impoverish ourselves if thereby we can 'save one? ' ' , Relative to our "observance by our people of the two relief days: Dr. J. N. Wells, of the First Presbyterian church, introduced on last Monday and th$ Ministerial Association unan imously carriei the; following resolu tion: " - , 'Resolved,. That we commend t thi3 course to our citizens and to - our churches, and that' the Chairman- of the Ministerial Association, be au thorized to prepare an article for-publication, calling the attention of our community to the importance of as sisting 'this "cause" in every way pos sible." Dr. Wells spoke to the resolution and said in part: "The literature that comes to my, desk telling of the sufferings of this people, is so heart-rending that I have almost ceased to read it. These suf fering men, women and children are Christians, their Christianity may not be perfect, but they are Christians, and their only part in this great war is to suffer. And whatever may be our attitude toward the great powers involved In this struggle we know that each of them is In part respon sible for the war, but here , is our country in no wise responsible; it has had nothing whatever to do with the war; its only part Is to suffer; and the sufferings of other sections of the war zone are but child's play, as -compared to the sufferings of this poor people. "Surely, before God, we should come to their aid. "The public should . know the fol lowing facts: , "That the Turkish government has granted permission for this relief work to be carried on. That It will take $5,000,000 to save this people from present death and return this them to self support. And that the American committee is composed of men of every communion, and that they are men of highest integrity and of international reputation: Further more, That this committee will place one hundred cents of every dollar sent them in actual relief work. This they do by paying all trans portation charges Vit of their own resources." , ' Perhaps in all our lives no greater opportunity for service has been offered us. It is the Christ who suf fers.
