Thomas Settle Talked Republican Doctrine---A Good Crowd of Representative Men in Attendance---Hon. Harry W. Stubbs With Strong Oratorical Effect Intro duces Governor Kitchin, the Governor Eloquent for Democracy. The elements conspired agaiust the people, yet yesterday was a great day for Martin County. In the early part of the day rain eairie down and rnuiy were hindered froitn "reaching Town early, but on the arrival of the 1:10 train, the crowd was largely increased and the day's-happenlfdgs were interest ing / The Good Ro:ids Congress as sembled at II o'clock iti the Court House and Prof. Joseph Hyde I'raUL.addressed the mteting, show ing how a progressive people should g€t in touch with the movement and the benefits to be derived there from. Prof. Pratt isaplain. force iul speaker and is thoroughly alive to the subject of good -roads. W. * C Manning, who .is strongly in favor the movemeut, made a short talk in advocacy of "the better sys tem of road building. The object ot the meeting was to get the opin ion of the people of Williamston Township on the matter. I A vote was taken and there * was not ou« dissenter.' This is.a tery satis factory condition and shows that the people; are alive to anything for improvement. .. After the close of the Congress, Hon. Thomas Settle, of Asheville, was in trod need by Mr. Wheeler Martiu. Settle was in his usnal vein, trying-to dodge behind . the issues and boost the party that has worked so disastrously in the State. He is a strong speaker but has ho argumept for the principles To ibe Parents The reports for the first mouth will be out this A-eek before this issue of the paper. In order to prevent any misuuderstandfftg, it might be well to say that any below seventy is a failure. The —-ei- COUMti the grades vary between seventy and a hundred. * There is a matter of gteat impor tance which needs mentioning. At night, when children should be learning their lessors, when the vicious, criminal and drunken freq uent the streets, young boys and girls are allowed to parade the streets unaccompanied by any adult. This is astonishing to say the least of it. Parents, if the edu cation of your children means any thing to you, if you have their best welfare at heart, if you want to children who will be an honor to their ststte and nation, keep them 6ff the streets at night. The boys collect and do things they wouldn't dare do singly. They do things which would make you angry be yond compare, if you only knew them. Therefore, for your chirdren's sakes, keep them home at night and insist upo« their studying their lessons, nay even demand it, and you will see the good results. Y A. M. JORDAN, Supt. Graded School. —• ■ : y The Junior Auxiliary Grateiul { The members of the Junior Aux iliary, who conducted a sale of re freshments at the Masonic Hall Tuesday night, desire to publicly thank those who helped with their gifts and those who were so liberal with their patronage.

Stubbs in intro ducing Governor Kiichin jsvith sentences ringing clear with the truths;of Democracy, exposed the perfidy of Settle's local self govern meat plank with which he and his puty are trying to fool the people. Mr. Stuhbs' " Words weie elo quent and convincing and will serve as a call t&" every loyal son of Martin to stick to the guns. Governor Kitchiri had never appeared before an audience in Martiu County before to discuss the differences between the two parties, and the people were eager to catch every word that fell from his lips. The strong personality of the man together with the glor IOUS cause tor which he is such a magnificent fighter, will interest any oue/uo matter what his views. His comparison of the two parties jvas a convincing argument against Butlerisni and high protection. The crowd was enthusiastic and he was applauded to the eitio. It was a speech that even a child could understand ( and there were many in the house) and will give an impetus to the Democratic cam paign that shnlr carry "tt'bn to a splendid victory. The day Was a great one for the pet>ple and Democrats were pleased. Governor Kitchin has always been a favorite in Martiu and he did it good yesterday.
