"Yelir." ?Mrs. Celia J. Collins, of Rocky Point, is visiting Mrs. Mary Myatt. The Bull-Frog's Philosophy. We like the bull-frog's philoso phy of life. He cares nothing for things that are quiet and still. He feeds only on things that are on the go. He will swallow a small rolling stone if he has to iump for it. He wants to work for what he gets and is not satis fied to have food put ready to his mouth. He "eats his bread" by the use of his jump.?North Carolina Baptist. A Love Letter Would not interest you if you're looking for a guaranteed Salve for Sores, Burns or Piles* Otto Hodd, of Ponder, Mo. writes: "I suffered with an ugly sore for a j year, but a box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured me. It's the} best Salve on earth. 2">c at Hood j Bros. Drug Store. TYPICAL RECEPTION AT THE WHITE HOUSE. ? Yes, the above cartoon speakes the truth also. Our Republican friends are in the habit of denouncing everything that does not suit them as a Democratic lie. No, the above cartoon is not a ''Democratic lie". It represents exactly what has taken place at the White House on several oc casions since Emperor Roosevelt- has been President. During January or February of 1903 a young gentleman and lady from Smithfield visited Washington. While in the City Emperor Roosevelt held one of his great receptions. The Emperor holds four notable receptions every year?one to the Army and Navy, one to the Judiciary, one to the Senate and House of Representatives, and one to the Diplomatic Corps. The reception above mentioned was one of these. No one can gain admission to the White House on these occasions except guests who are especially invited. To each one of these guests a magnificently engraved invitation is sent containing his or her name. The young lady and gentleman above mentioned were very much gratified to receive an invitation to this reception. Imagine their disgust, gentle reader, when, after marching in front of the President and entering the East Room, they found in that room, commingling with white gentlemen and ladies, a negro man and two negro women. Of course the two young southerners left forthwith. They saw this negro man and two negro women commingling with the other guests upon terms of perfect social equality. ()f courre these negroes were invited to be present at this reception. They could not have gained admission into the White House without exhibiting their engraved invitations. The visitors to these receptions are compelled to pass a policeman at the door and to mar ;h between a file of secret service detectives, stationed there to protect his majestv, Emperor Theodore the I. If those negroes had not exhibited their engraved invitations entrance into the august presence of his majesty would have been denied them by the officers stationed at the door. Therefore, the above cartoon speaks the unvarnished truth. Look at it Republican reader! Study it! Ponder it! Do you like it? Do you endorse it? Will you yote for a President who permitted it? You say we Democrats crv "nigger". You say if we will only stop crying "nigger" some day you will stand a chance to carry this state. Do you expect the Southern people to allow such things as this to take place without entering a gentle protest? It is the Republican party who has raised the race issue in this campaign. Emperor Roosevelt insists upon receiving negroes as his social equal time and again. And then he proposes to reduce repre sentation in the South in the Electoral College and in Congress because certain Southern States have taken away from the ignorant negro the right to vote. Do you Republicans expect us to submit to such things as this in silence? If you do, you are fools. But we want you to understand that the Democratic party is not dependent upon the negro issuetogetvot.es. There are great moral issues involved in this contest. Your party has wasted six hundred million dollars in this miserable business of tacking on to our country ten millions of hottentots. You said these hottentots would buy our cotton goods, but they did not buy as much cotton goods from us during tbeyearl903asthecottoncropof Jonnston county would produce. The policy of your party caused the sacrifice of ten thousand American lives, and according to Sena tor Hoar nearlv a half million lives of these poor Filippino hottentots. Yours is the party of rapine and plunder. Your party taxed the American people to make the trusts rich. Bloated with wealth, inflated with power, they have supplied the American demand for their goods at their own prices and are now seeking foreign markest. Last year these bloated criminals sent four million dollars of goods abroad and sold them cheaper to foreigners than they sold the same goods to Americans. Your party is punishing you because you are an American. The Republican party treats an Ameri can worse than it treats a foreigner. Ave, more. It treats the American worse than the foreigner treats him. And yet, knowing these things, you say the Democratic party has no issue but the negro issue; and when you tell this you tell?well, you know what it is. A very small word, with just one syllable, composed of three letters. KENLY NOTES. Several left here yesterday to attend the St ate Fair at Raleigh. Mr. G. B.

World's Greatest Waterfall Discov ered In South America St. Louis, Oct. 15.?A greater cataract than either the Niagara or Zambesi talis has oeeu dis covered in South America Ho racio Anasagasti, Commissioner of Mines from the Republic of Argentina to the World's Fair, fully confirms thestatemeut that the Iguazu is the greatest water fall in the world. He says: "1 have recently been in a posi tion to corroborate with my own eyes the marvelous charac ter of the falls of Iguazu.

A large number of our people will attend the State Fair this week. Miss Mary O. Booker is on a | visit this week to relatives in Raleigh. Our clever young friend Mr. Reubin Myatt, is one of the mar j shals at the State Fair this week. The event this week will be the l'urdie?Fdmondson marriage, which will take place Wednesday the 19th. There will be preachingat Oak laud next Sunday morning and night, by the pastor, Rev. Mr. ! Souders. It is rumored that Mr. W. T.

The public school at Polenta Academy opens on the first Mon dav inNovember. MissCatherine j Williams will again be in charge of the school. Mr. J. W. Green, our nursery man is now shipping fruit trees I to the wholesale trade. He is doing well in the fruit tree busi ness, far better than he expected. Mr. Wm. I). Young, whointend | ed to enter Vanderbuilt College, [ Nashville Tennessee, and study I denietry, will not go this fall, but will enter, we suppose, at the spring session. There will not be more than j five colored voters in this town ship and that will be the Republi ! can strength in the township. Our white voters are not tainted with Rooseveltism, Radicalism, etc. Not much cotton poingto mar ket now from this section. It is again under ten cents. Once again we advise our farmers not to rush their cotton on the mar ket. The crop will prove a short one, and there is nq reason why much higher prices should not prevail after while. About 4 o'clock Saturday morning last at Penny, N.C., the angel visited the home of our esteemed friend. Mr. Lafayette Austin, and took from him his dearly beloved wife who had been confined to her bed for the past three months with acomplication of diseases. Mrs. Austin was very popular, helpful and beloved in the community where she lived. In early life she made a profession of religion and joined the Mis sionary Raptist church, and remained a faithful, true and consistent christian unto death. She died in her 42nd year, in the prime of life and usefulness. She was a faithful and devoted wife; a tender and affectionate mother a courteous and sympathetic friend and neighbor. She lived a bright christian life and was much admired by all who knew her. Her life wns one continuous plea to her loved ones to live ?hristian lives and be ready to meet (iod in peace. We should all strive to imitate her many noble traits of character and cultivate her gentle disposition? being also reminded by this sad providence that the sane messen ger awaits us all. her remains were brought to Oakland Ceme I tery for interment, and were met bv a large number of sorrowing friends, the fuueral services being conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Hlanchard. We commend the bereaved husband, children, and other loved ones to Him who doetb all things well, and who never makes a mistake. There was a civil suit for the possession of a dog before Squire Brady Monday, both parties to the contest claiming ownership of the dog, which is said to be I worth about live dollars. An appeal was taken from the deci sion of the Squire, so the next term of the Superior court will have to decide the controversy. The costs in the case is already moie than twice what the dog is worth, and yet both parties are determined on gaining their point. When the matter is set tled each party will have paid out ten times the value of the dog. Typo. LITTLE CREEK ITEMS. Mr. O. P. Barbour is well 1 pleased with his ten pound boy. Miss Cornelia Batten, the daughter of Mr. Eli Batten, is improving. Elders M. J. Langdon and J. YV. Gardner preached able ser j mous at Little Creek last Sun day to a large audience. We leurn that Mr. T. 11. Baker, i of LaGrange section, has bought the J. W. Talton farm and will move there in the near future. Mr. J. J. Batten will have a nice box of fish on the road by Mr. J. A. Sanders and Mr. S. V. Smith's stores Saturday evening. Elder L. H. Hardy will preach at Little Creek next Wednesday, October 20. He is one of the ablest preachers of the Primitive Baptist denomination in this State. The good people of our com munity have but little to say about politics, but they will get up early on the morhing of November 8th, go to the polls and put in a ballot for Judge Parker and Robert B. Glenn. 2. X. 10. Great is Johnson County. This is the special exhibit from Johnston county, and it is fitting that this should be a special fea I ture, for the President of the Fair, Hon. Ashley Horne, is a Johnston county man, good and true, successful and energetic. The exhibit is arranged to show the resources and possibilities in the development of the county, and here are the products of tne farm, the apples, pears, plums, peaches, cherries and grapes, a great variety of garden and truck products, specimens of the work of the four cotton mills of the county, and many other things which show Johnston to be a great county. And that this may be known | there is neat and well arranged pamphlet telling all about the county, which is distributed. This is a splendid advertisment for Johnston county and the step it has taken this year will prove of so much value that oth er counties will find it wise to fol low suit another year.?News and Observer.
