CL,.naer th Act of Con- I Of MATCH I, 151. TUESDAY. OCT. 6, 1908 In case Taft is unable to 611 any of his dates, lookout for Teddy. The price of the Wright aero plane or flying machine has been fixed at 4,000; want one? . If the Republicans have any sure cure for panics, it's the finest time yet to apply a sample dose at least. Roosevelt has made so much noise during the present camgaign that the real candidates are almost obscured. There must be some uneasiness in his mind or the Pres ident would not bestir himself like unto a township "jestice"at times. Something is wrong somewhere when it takes eight pounds of cotton to buy one pound of calico made from the same cotton. It is quite certain that cotton mill operatives are not getting the enormous profits and cotton mills are closing down, proving that the owners don't get these profits. Just twenty-eight days and we will know whether the people or the bosses shall rule this country during the next four years. Then the tireless vocal organs of those tireless candidates and the political phonographs will be still for a sea son; Teddy's anxious friends can breathe more easily lest he rush out and commit some rash act There has always been some danger lest he escape and really do something more than let off hot air. "Fly swiftly 'round, ye wheels ot Time, And bring the welcome day." Candidate Taft has found it necessary to explain why he plays golf, the rich man's game. There are lots of far more important matters the Republican candidate might give his attention to if he can satisfactorily explain. The .people would like to know NOW where his immense campaign fund is coming from and if the same parties who helped his Uncle Ted dy are doing more for him. Then, too, he might explain why it is that with cotton steadily declining in price as it has been for several years, the necessities of life are always advancing. Golf, bah! Who cares whether he pla.vs it or not ? Ik the Republican party has ever shown any interest in North Carolina except for the spoils of of office here, we have failed to note it; if it has ever as a national party, done anything for the real development of the South or ad vocated any principles whereby this great section could even ob tain justice, the insignificance of these measures have been their death knell. Vote to keep such a party in power? Never so long as its one great purpose is to aid the moneyed interests of the North. Fair-minded men are be ginning to turn from such favor itism and to cast their votes for the party that demands "Equal ' rights to all special privileges to none." " To a mere "looker on here in Vienna," it does seem that an ab normal amount of attention is be ing given to the study of politics and questions that little concern the real growth of Wadesboro as a city or Anson county as a com monwealth. If the same amount of nervous energy was expended on some plans by which the para mount interests of the .city and county might best be served, how vastly much more it might mean to us in the end. Certainly it is important that the right men and the best principles prevail in the nation; but what about the prob lems at home? Are they receiving the proper attention? Who is concerned much about the miser able condition of our streets, the infant industries just about to flourish here, the improvement of the rural communities upon which the city is so dependent? Surely these questions ought to have Jo3ur first' and best attention rather than those issues, many of which will die with the present campaign and those that prevail, touch us only in a small way for years to come, while we must live out lives here among conditions that may easily be improved What about the problems at home? How can Charlotte ever hope to be the mecca of young married couples, looking yforr a suitable place in which to" wear away the first few days of the honeymoon, unless she changes her manner? Last week in Atlanta ' a young man Thomas, who drives an auto mobile for millionaire Speer, ran away wjth his employer's daughter and took her to Charlotte. During thetwp days," that great city only treated them to the glare of curi ous eyes while her police, hardly legally, kept them under the strictest surveillance. You mis sed it there, Charlotte, and you'll have to change your tactics if you're bidding for such couples. In the meantime, the mother of the 17-year-old bride has spirited her off to Europe for a two years' trip while Thomas is to wait in Atlanta, hoping that at that time she will still love him well enough to live with him. Richard Adams Marries Tomorrow. (Charlotte Observer, 3rd.) An event of wide interest throughout this State and South Carolina will be the marriage Wednesday afternoon of next week of Miss Mary Elizabeth Nun nery, daughter of Mr. and Mrs F. A. Nunnery of Chester county, S. C, and Mr. Richard W. Adams a son of Rev. Dr. J. Q. Adams, of this city. The wedding will take nlace at the home of the bride's parents and will be a very auiet affair, the ceremony being performed by the groom's father Mr. W. D. Adams of this city will be best man. There will be but a few relatives and intimate friends present. The bride belongs to one of the leading families in South Oaroli na and is a young lady of rare beauty.' and charm. The groom formerly resided in Charlotte but is now principal of the school at Fort Lawn. He is a young man of Dromise. Mr. and Mrs. Adams on their return from their bridal trio will make their home at Fort Lawn. Mr. Adams lived in Wades boro while his father was pastor of the Baptist church here several years ago. The Ansokian. Being Asleep Saved Lives. (Raleigh New8 and Observer. Becar.se pretty Miss Lorine Whitfield, of Middlesex, had been to a party the night before and was leaning back in her seat last night, sweetly sleeping, her soul is not now somewhere beyond the stars. And because Mr. W. Wells, of Virgilina, Va., was also in the arms of Morpheus, he is alive and well today. These were the pas sengers on the Norfolk and South ern train that arrived at Raleigh at 10 o'clock last night in charge of Conductor Gerow. When the train was about a half mile from Wendell station, running at about 30 miles an hour, a rifle ball came smashing through the car window and went directly over Mr. W ells' head. This gentleman was seated pretty low in his seat and was asleep. Had he been sitting erect the ball would have struck hini in the head. The ball went through the car and out of a window ou the other side, two windows back and directly over and iu front of Miss Whitfield's face. This young lady, who lives at Middlesex, and who was coining to this city to visit friends had been to an en tertainment the previous night, had lost sleep and was reclining in her car chair and was asleep. Had she been awake and in a normal posture the ball would have gone through her body and there is no possible way in which she could have scaped instant death. Card of Thanks. We desire to thank our dear friends for their loving kindness and sympathy in the recent illness and death of our little daughter. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Pink8ton. Resolutions Passed By Baptist Church The member of the Wadesboro Bap tist Church, now assembled for Divine worship, humbly acknowledging their submissiveness to the will of Almighty God, desire to give expression to their deep emotions occasioned by the death of Rev. Charles Fetter, late Rector of the Episcopal Church, of Wadesboro, and as a further declaration of their sentiments, unanimously resolve: 1. Earth has lost one of her noble men. True to every trust, exemplary in thought and action, free from osten tation, thoughtful of all, forgetful of none, he mingled and commingled with his fellow men, and led them. 2. In private life, we shall miss him. In social intercourse, his absence will be felt. 3. As a minister of the Gospel, his like will not soon pass this way again. The Gospel in its simplicity and purity was his theme. His message to the high and the low, was to "fear God, and keep his commandments." His gentle ministrations to his friends, to strangers, to the sick, the needy and distressed, were born in a lofty soul that loved its God, and to our Gracious Savior we commend its keeping. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of this church, a copy presented to his bereaved fam ily, and a copy presented to local pa pers for publication. Notice to Patrons of Zion Academy To whom it may concern: The 6th session of Zion Academy will open Monday, October 19th. Let all who expect to attend enter at once.
