W. Cole. Chm. Don. Ex. Com. THE PRESIDENT S OPINION OF LABORING MEN. / ??V Bill,Those fellows makcthci* \ Living Bv hard work-How different \ with US. .Dear Boy, I Know You Play 1 Cards,Get drunk and terrify women andCwl-I dren,and have killed three men, But you J ARE A BETTER FELLOW AND PLEASANTER / Companion Than those pooR hard work ^ING^DEVILS OVER THEREAT ' f II I \ The above cartoon speaks the truth. It represents President Iioosevelt and his friend Bronco Bill, the cowboy. President Roosevelt wrote a book, entitled Ranch Life j and Hunting Trail. On pages 'J and 10 in this book he describes the cowboy of the west. He de clares that the cowboy is fond of villainous whiskey, that when drunk he cuts mad antics, that he shoots his fellowman upon a slight provocation, that he desecrates the Sabbath day, that he is a born gambler. that he frequently rides his broncho into a neighboring town dashing up and down the streets firing off his pistol to the terror of women and children. . And yet, after describing in his book this lawless and abandoned character, he uses these words concerning his friend the drunken cowboy: "They (meaning the cowboy) are much better follows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers; nor are the mechanics and workmen of a great city to be men tioned intbesamebreath." This expressed preference of Mr. Roosevelt is an index of his real character. Born amidst great riches he is absolutely without sympathy for the man who toils. This great republic rests upon the shoulders of the smail farmer and agricultural laborer, mechanics and workmen. These are the men who produce wealth. As a rule, they are honest, law-abiding and patriotic. When the national honor is assailed they are among the first to volunteer in its defence. They compose the majority of the population of this country. But for them Mr. Roosevelt entertains supreme contempt. Yes, the drunken rough rider, the gambler and assassin of our western plains are far better fellows and pleas anter companions; that is to say Mr. Roosevelt thinks hiui a far "better fellow and pleasanter com panion." The drunken cowboy of the west knows but little of honest toil. President Roosevelt loves him. The small farmer, agricutural laborer and mechanic make their living by honest toil. For them President Rooselt feels nothing but contempt. Reader, is this statement true or false? Did President Roosevelt declare that the drunken cow boy of the west was a "better fellow and pleasanter companion than the small farmeroragricultural laborer?" This statement is denied bv unscrupulous Republican politicians. If you do not believe it j buy Mr. Roosevelt's book entitled "Ranch Life and Hunting Trail;" and if you do not find in that book, probably on pages 9 and 10, the words above quoted, then brand the editor of this paper as a slanderer. Aye, more. If you do not believe it, telegraph to Hon. William Loeb, secretary to President Roosevelt, and see if he will deny that the words above quoted are contained in tne book written by the President, or call at our office in Smithfield and examine our copy for yourself. Note?The undersigned. Editor of The Smithfield Herald, has in his possession President Roosevelt's book, entitled "Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail," and has read on page 10 his state ment in which he declares that cowboys are "much better fellows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers; nor are the mechanics and workmen of a great city to be mentioned in the same breath."

After the regular business was transacted the old soldiers liued up, about 250 in number, and marched to a heavily laden table on the court house square where they did full justice to the inner man. This splendid dinner was given to the veterans by the young men of Johnston county to show their respect and regard for those who fought through the stormy days of 1801 05 for the cause they loved. The success of this dinner is in a large measure due to Congressman E. W. Pou, chairman of the committee on arrangements. There were not as many of the battle-scarred veterans here yes terday as there were at the re union last year. Some have since then answered the final reveille on the other side. Their ranks are growing thinner year by year and only a few years more and the last one will have passed away.

GOVERNOR AYCQCKHERE North Carolina's Chief Executive Delights His Friends In Johnston. Mr. F. B. Arendell, of the News and Observer staff, thus reported Governor Ay cock's speech here last Saturday. "Governor Aycock at Smith field yesterday kindled a Hame of Democratic fealty and loyalty that will sweep over old John ston, and help to rally the good people of that storm centre of Democracy for the battle in November. A court house full of sturdy Johnstonians heard the I Governor, and when Mr. W. S. Stevens, who introduced him, mentioned his name, there was a round of vigorous applause. Governor Aycock had gone to Johnston, not only to speak for the cause of Democracy, but to render unto the people of the county an account of his own stewardship and of those who have aided him in the manage ment of the State's affair since the overthrow of fusionism in ! 1900. He was not there to ex plain or to apologize, but to defend the gibraltar of Demo cracy against the puny pelting of those who would again mislead the masses and lure them away from the paths of political righteousness. "The Uovernor was almost at his best at Smithfield, and be literally lifted bis audience into a new realm of appreciation of both himself, and the cause for which he spoke. He left nothing but splinters of the Republican plat form and sent their criticisms and charges of extravagance on the part of the State adminis tration floating out upon the echoes of the unstinted applause that came momentary from those who heard him. "On national questions he simply rose above the mist of party discussion and took the people with him into a soul stir ring and thrilling definition of what should be the high and holy aims and purposes of any men or parties, in whose keeping the people's government is intrusted. He set up the Jeffiersonian ideals based upon international peace and fair dealing, and beside these placed the Roosevelt ideals backed by theglamor of war and the clatter of militaryism, and the crowd saw the true ideals and ^ave vent to their unbridled emotions." Broke Into His House. S. Lee Quinn of Cavendish, Vt., was robbed of his customary health by Invasion of Chronic Constipation. When Dr. King's New Life Pills broke Into nis house, his trouble was arrested and now he'o entirely cured. They're guaranteed to cure. 25c at Hooa Bros. Drug Store.
