College did right in keeping the bovs from visiting Raleigh at all; but, think he went too far when he expelled them, and would not remove the sentence of expulsion when the seniors offered to come back on his regulations if he would take all hack. Now what1 has he made by his course? He has carried his point as to dicip line and has made enemies for life of two hundred boys who will in a few years be the leading spirits of their various communi ties, who will ever be ready to knife him when the occasion arises. "He ought to learn to put himself in the other fellows place" as R. L. Gray says in the News and Observer. Senex.

''After You. /VYy Dear Booker.** The above cut shows what actually took place in the White House in Washington. A ft w months after Mr. Roosevelt accidentally became President, he invited Hooker Washington the negro educator, to a private lunch in the White House. Whether the members of the President's family were piesent was not stated, but it is known that the President wrote Washington, a note inviting him to dine and that the latter accepted. This is the first time a President has ever invited a negro to a private luuch in the White House. Many Republicans have preached social equality, but few have practiced it. Some say that Mr. Roosevelt did this to show his contempt of the social customs of the Southern people. At Arlington he said Confederate Soldiers were anarchists. In one of his books he said that our people were of a course strain of blood. He also declared his contempt of our small farmers and agricultural laborers by declaring that drunken cow boys were "better fellows and pleasauter companions." Read his book on Ranch Life and Hunting Trail if you don't believe this. White man will you vote for him? Aye moke, will Yoc vote for any candidate who si p ports him? CLAYTON NEWS. Rev. C. VV.

The ladies of the Baptist church, piopose to fix up the church in a very short time. When the ladies propose a thing here it generally goes.

She has many relatives ! and friends here who mourn most (deeply her death. She has sev eral brothers and sisters here, having been reared here herself.

We extend our tendereet heart-felt sympathy to the grief-stricken relatives. 8. L. W. Sept. 13th, 1904. Biggs?"I 6ee that a Kansas man has just married a spinster who owned 900 chickens." Diggs?"That's just like a wo man; if she can't get a husband by fair means she will by fowl." ?Chicago News. What is Life? In the last analysis nobody knows, but we do know that it is under strict law. Abuse that law even slightly, pain results.

You are invited to meet in Smithtield on the Oth day of October to our annual picnic and bring a corn stalk five leet long in lieu of a "big stick." We want to go through the manual of arms and some simple tireless company manoeuvers according to the old Hardee's tactics as vve used to. Of course the bow-leg ged and knock-kneed and bay windowed gentry can get in the rear rank, and the lantern-jawed gizzly jays tne front. We want to "march time," "Right,": "Left," and "about face," wheel a little and go through the mau ual of arms, including load in nine times." Refresh your mem ories, and when on your way to1 town don't get knocked off the top of the cars, or fall out of the baggage door or off the rear roost of the train, as some of our State guard recently did. If enough of you feel young enough we will go through the skirmish drill, like we used to in Virginia and wind up with a game of "mumble peg" or "leap frog" or "butter cutting." Co. E is especially desired. We will run a foot race or "draw straws" for drill master. Respt. C S. Powell. September 13 th, 1904. Increased Pensions for Confederate Soldiers. Not a penny has ever been ap propriated to the old soluiers of North Carolina except by authority of democratic legis lation. In 1885 the first pension law was passed by the democratic legislature, appropriating $30, 000 for certain classes of disabled confederate soldiers, and that law has been amended by demo cratic legislatures until to-day the appropriation amounts to $200,000 annually, and from 1885 until now the confederate pensioners have received $1, (558,000. For the totally blind and con federate soldiers the democratic legislature passed a law allowing them $120 a year. That class received last vear $11,280, and they have received in all $99, 345.00. fP b.. j t-\ 111 11 \ nu ' homn iit o o c, o x ut nuiuicin uuuiu n ao ui^a uized by the democratic legis lature of 185)1, and there was expended that year $2,250. That has gradually increased from year to year until this year the oppropriation amounts to $15,000. There has been paid to the soldiers' home since its organization $130,500. In the light of these facts we can not understand why the republican platform should per sist in stating that tbe Republican party favors liberal pensions to the confederate soldiers. It is true that there is a certain class of confederate soldiers to whom the republican leaders and their party have been very liberal in giving pensions, but it is to those confederate soldiers who, in the time of their country's need deserted the confederate army and its cause and entered the union army. They are now permitted to draw pensions under federal authority, and it is a little peculiar that this legisla tion was mainly promoted by a late republican seuator from this Btate. The fact is the Re publican party in north Carolina cares nothing for the confederate soldier because the Republican party in this state was organized upon what was known as the union sentiment, and for that reason the Republican party has been strongest in those sections of the state where there were a great many union soldiers. ?Mr. E.
