A Speech That Will Do Much
Good In Washington
County
A Special from Plymouth, Octo
ber 20, to the News and Observer
says:
"In pursuance of bis appoint
ment. Harry the Demo
cratic candidate in the Second Sena
torial district, addressed a large
and enthusiastic audience in Ply
mouth on tbe night of the 18th in a
speech which was one of the most el
oquent that the people of this town
Mrve ever had the pleasure of hear
ing. He was strong and powerful in
his appeal to the Democratic party
to stand together. And along
original lines he presented in a luc
id and precise manner the political
record of the two parties. Tbe
contrast was a fearful arraignment
of the Repulican party.
"This great speech will long be
remembered by those who heard it.
Would that every disgruntled
Democrat in North Carolna could
have heard this great vote winning
speech for Democracy. It did
much to save the conuty of Wash
ington to the Democratic party and
to solidify Democratic voters. Mr.
Stnbbs spoke for two hours with
that power that would characterize
the ablest speeches of the Grand
Old Ransom. His style, his man
ner, all impressed one with his earn
estness tor the succes of the Demo
cratic party and bis unselfishness
for hiuiseif won the hearts of the
whole people in his pathetic appeal
for the Democratic candidate for
the General Assembly from this
county, Hon. Thomas W. Blount.
"At the conclusion of this great
speech the crowd loudly called for'
Mr. Blount, and he responded in
B speech of twenty minutes that
captivated the people and inspired
them with his honesty of purpose
and his ability to ably represent
Washington county."

••American women too frequently
twang, and whine, and whiffle, and
whinney and manage their voices
carelessly and lazily." The ques
tion he thinks, is one that might
best be considered by a mother's
convention, or made a vital topic
in women's clubs.
"Our women have not a natura]
defect to overcome, they have a
habit to correct," he continues.
The average woman must first be
taught that it is worth while to
speak beautifully, that it is even a
duty to speak beautifully. Teach
the average American woman that
it is her duty to do this and the
thing is as good as done. Let her
be made to realize that she ought
to apeak clearly, promptly' stren
uously, as well as sweetly from
her throat, and she will do it; or if
she cannot, she will make her chil
dren do it.

WILLIAMSTON, N. C„ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26. 1906
MAS. AUG
It is not often that a man achieves
marked distinction by accident,
favor, or fortune, in the trying
times of war. It is then that ouly
cool heads, brave hearts and a thor
ough submission to discipline and
a consciousness of being in a right
eous cause can pevail when the
gods of war clash in their interests
and bring into play the missleaof
death amidst the awfutruar of guns
and tbe sickening smoke of battle,
itjA-ihen that the real geniuiof for
titude and strategy becomes lofty
in triumphs. It is then that the true
characters of an individual is strain
ed in its every fiber. If there is a
weak place in it there witl be a
break. "If I can see a man in war
I can ti ]l what he will be in time of
peace", was the statement of a
man of no mean standing in mili
tary circles. Mr. Whitley made his
record with the sight and smell of
hiimati blood about him, amidst
the pleadings of the famishing and
the groans of the dying.
This man who performed a dar
ing feat in the great civil war be
tween the states, the record of
which has gone down in history,
was bom November 15. 1841, near
F.vefetts in Martin County,
North Carolina. His father, Wil
liam Whitley, and his mother, Lou
isa, nee Hodges, were among the
old and substantial settlers of Mar
tin County.
Mr. Whitley, was raised on the
farm, which seems to be one of the
world's best factorys for turning
out men of solidity of character
and women of an inate modesty.
He attended country schools for
awhile, making the best ol his op
portunities. When he was npd go
ing to school he worked in the
fields on his fathers plantation. He
later took a course at Hamiltoq, N.
C, under Prof. De Ford, of Penn
sylvania. Here he received advan
tages which were ever utterwanl
helpful to him. From this school
GRAND RALLY
The speakings at Oak Citv and
Hamilton on Friday and Saturday
were attended by large crowds.
The people seemed more interested
than they have been since the
negro was eliminated from politics.
We heard many remark that they
had not taken much interest but
as the same old coons with differ
ent rings around their tails were
trying to get coutrol of this govern
ment and it had scared them and
they proposed to work for the
party as in former days, for the
success of the democratic party
meant the protection and salvation
of our dear State and Southland.
We most heartily endorse these
sentiments and would admonish
everv_ good democrat to make him
self a committee of one and see
that everv young man that has ar
rived at age has registered and that
they vote the straight democratic
ticket, without a scratch.
Hons. John H. Small, C. C. Dan
iels and S. Justus Kverett were
with the candidates and they made
fine speeches. They aroused and
at the same the peo
ple, as they could testify tl»t the
speakers told the truth. We were
glad and much gratified to see Mr.
Everett out and taking such an ac
tive part in the campaign after be

shows that he is a true man and a

We, the members of the Martin

sires to place on record, our appre
ciation of the life and service of
the late Dr. Chas. Duncan Mclver.
In his death the teachers of North-
Carolina have been bereft of a lead
er. whose heart never lacked sym
pathy and whose nature it was to
help and inspire. He gave his
whole heart and bis life to the cause
of education and, he labored unself
ishly and unceasingly to spread it'i
teachings. It is, to a great extent,
| due to his efforts that North Caro-
USTUS W
• »
he went to Horner Military School,
where he got that training which
showed i»s importance at a critical
period, which made Mr. Whitley
famous.
He entered the Civil War, at its
very beginning as a member of the
Hamilton Guards, he boing second
lieutenant in the Seventeenth North
Carolina Volunteers. He was cap
tured by the enemy August 19, 1861
at Hatteras, and was imprisoned
at Governors Island and at Foit
Warren, where he remained in con
finment for five months. He was
then exchanged, and allowed to re
enter the Southern Confederacy in
Company E, 55 N. C troops. Lie
remained in this state for the first
year and afterwards went by as
signment to Petersburg, Virginia,
then to the famous and blood chris
tened battlefied of Gettysburg. , He
was in that dashing charge and was
captured, being the front man on
J uly 3, 1863. He was imprisoned
at Fort Donalson and at Point Look
out for seven mouths, then he was
exchanged. Wheu Mr. Whittey
marchedtb that notorious stone
wall accompanied by one man and
took it, he made a record of which
FOR DEMOCRA
staunch democrat, he will come to
the front, such a man cannot be
held down, it does us good to see
such a democrat as he is.
It grieves me to hear such re
marks that "if so and so is not
nominated I will vote the republi
can ticket." My dear friend, stop
and think before you act. I am
sure had vou such ex|>cjieuces as
we old fellows had, to get the
chance to vote, you would think
and act differently. \Ve have had
to stand in mud and water four or
Ave hours, with a big black negro
at our sides, a white and a black,
waiting to vote together, lined up
two by two from fifty to a hundred
in a rank, for fear lest we be shoved
aside and lose our vote. John
Watts, the republican manager of
Martin County, had Goose Nest
and Kobersonville consolidated
with-Hamiltoji so there was a large
crowd to \fcte and we had to vote
in this crowd. Many grayhaired
voters remember this and are proud
that such conditions no longer ex
ist. Under the leadership of the
Hon. Chas. B Aycock our people
became aroused, passed the amend
ment and shook off the republican
yoke ot slavery of the white man
and corruption in our state and
county.
Did the good fellow we hear of
being such a good man and whose
heart is so much in love with the

lina has been lifted from the shades
of illiteracy into a more sunlit field
of education, It was his desire that
the State, the parent, arid the teach
er join hands and work in uuisou
for the best interests of the child.
He considered the work of the
teacher a sacred one, aud a work
for which the nation was grateful
and npcn which Heaven smiled,
Such a life as his can not die. The
sparks that have goue out from this

nook and corner of our State from

he and his friends should be ptoud
A flying shell literally tore his com
panion, Mr. Satterfield to pieces.
Mr. Whitley escaped by getting be
hind a small tree. He had his share
of fighting and of imprisonment.
After the war was over he return
ed to his hqme in Martin County
with the full consciousness of the
fact that he had dune his best for
his people He started life over
again as it were.
In the memorable campaign of
1876 he was elected a member oi
the Board oTCounty Commissioners
and was its chairman four years.
In 188 ahe associated with Justus
Everett of Hamilton under the firm
name of Whitley and Kverett to en
gage in a mercantile business at
that place The business did not
prove so profitably as farming and
atter five years he returned to hia
first love. In 1898 he became a
member of the County Board of
I Education in which capacity he has
rendered faithful service.
Mr. Whitley is one of those char
acters who never says die until has
to. He was candidate for the nom
ination of Sheriff twice being de
feated both times by that most pop
ular sheriff and citizen, W. J. Har
dison. In the recent campaign he
was candidate for nomination
against Mr. S. Justus Everett, but
by his political record and with the
debt of gratitude which the people
of the county felt that was due to
their old citizen and soldier, who
had served them so conspicuously
he was on September 17 nominated
by the democrats of Martin County
{ for the Legislature.
Mr. Whitley is a man of ripe ex
perience and a strong character, an
active member of the Baptist church
a sober map of clean moral habits

the people of hia county he will do,
and he will undertake nothing un

HON. JOHN A. SMALL
AT ROBERSONVILLE
The People are Pleased With
That Good Old Democrat
ic Doctrine
Perhaps there t» no man in poli
tics whom the people of Roberson
▼ill.' delight to honor more than
Mr. Small. Their enthusiasm for
him was demonstrated by the crowd
that assembled, notwithstanding
the inclement weather on October.
18, to hear his good old Democratic
doctrine. We ail know how faith
fully he has labored in Congress to
bring to his State and to his section
of the State the recognition and aid
of our federal goverment' Yet we
were glad to meet him and hear his
accout of his stewardship. His rec
ord has been so clean, so fair and
honest, so strenous that uo man cau
doubt the wisdom of sending hiin
to Congress the fifth time.
Mr. Small reviewed briefly the
rapid strides our State has made
along educational industrial lines
since she has been redeemed from
the misrule and cur9e of a radical
administration. It is such aglor
ious record that it seems as if uo
Republican, if he was fair minded
could continue to sail under the
honor stained colors of the party
that brought so much disgrace to
'.he fair name of bis native state.
He contrasted the work of the two
parties ,North Carolina, by
giving records, and the re
sults of these records upon the
schools and the confederate sol
diers. Mr. Small said however,
that we need two parties, stroug
virile, clean and honest to watch
and restrain each other. He is
not ao narrow as to condemn a
man for holding opinions differ
ent from his own; nevertheless he
would put honest men on their
guard against following that old
set who arc pretending to a change
of heart while still using the same
old tactics and schemes to deceive
the people.
Mr. Small discussed the policies
of the two parties with reference
to tariffs awl trusts. The repub
lican party, bv its tariff svstem has
built up the most gigantic corpora
tion the world lias ever known.
It is the rich man's party, using
the people's money to perpetuate
themselves in office. The only
popular card in the present admin
istration is that which the Presi
dent has taken from the demo
cratic platform and made effective
by democratic aid
If it is a good thing to have a
republican president use a little of
the democratic platform in opposi
tion to his party, would it not be
far Itetter to give the doctrine full
foice by having it administered by
a democratic president? It is inev
itable, the tide has set in; Bryan
is to be swept into the White
House, our country will be savedi
