THE ENTERPRISE
Tom Settle Here
Saturday afternoon, the fire bell
rang announcing the appointment
of Tom Settle, Republican nominee
for Governor, who on the arrival of
the 1.16 train delivered his humor
oar lecture to a small number of
his party aud a few curious Demo
crats at the City Hall. The ad
dress throughout, with the excep
tion of an advocacy of Republican
protection doctrines, was a clever
bit of contortion work in which he
sought to make the Democratic
party the Fool in the Comedy of
Politics in State and Nation. This
he does with a nicety which ap
peals to those whose natures enjoy
the ridiculous even though the
higher principles for which the
I eciocrat'c party is standing, are
condemned by the man who aspires
to be Caief Executive cf a great
Commonwealth.
The "whiskey barrel" was aired
until one could smell the sickening
odor. This trick of the Taft wing
of North Carolina Republicans wtth
Settle to play the graud act, (ailed
to catch those for whom the trick
was pulled off. Settle :s tr\ing to
place himsell on the same platform
with Woodrow Wilson, and every
reasonable man can see the trick
in it too. Gov. Wilson announ
ced that he believed in local self
government, but is not running on
such a platform nor does he wish to
apply it to local option in those
States where the voice of the peo
ple by a large majority have settled
the question. The wily Tom knew
tfrivbut w as seeking to catch some
Democratic votes for himself. Four
years ago, he came here with the
came old speel and was called down
as the whiskey question is not a
political matter only as Settle and
h f s followers have made it one.
The Roosevelt Republicans in the
State cleaned their bunds of it but
Tom Settle took it up mire and all.
Settle is an able speaker and if be
represented a good cause would
make a decided impiession on any
audience, but his onlv weapon is
ridicule aud that produces jmt a
laugh. He had with him D. H
Blair, who spoke awhile before
Settle took the central position on
the stage.
J. G. Ciiswell, a painter living
at 540 North Mulberry St , Hagers
town, Md.. states: "I had kidney
trouble with a severe pain across
my back, and could hardly get up
after sitting down. I took Foley
Kidney Pills and soon found the
pain left my back, I could get up
and down with ease, acd the blad
der action was more regular and
normal. Try them. Saunders &
Fowden.
Meeting Closed
v The series of meetings held in
the Christian Church closed Tues
day night at the City Hall, where
large congregations bad assembled
since Friday night. Sunday night
the entire lower floor of the Hall
was crowded and several found
seats in the gallery. The services
were interesting throughout and
Rev. Taylor's discourses were en
joyed by all those who beard them.
There were five accessions to the
Church here. Mr. Taylor left
Wednesday morning to fill another
appointment in a distant town.
Mrs. T. A. Town, 107 6th St.,
Watertown, S. D., writes: "My
fonr children are subject to hard
colds and I always use Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound with
splendid results. Some time ago I
had a severe attack of la grippe and
the doctor prescribed Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound and it soon
overcame the la grippe. I can
always depend upon Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound and am sure of
good results.'' Saunders and Fow
den.

Insult to Intelligence and
Morale
All Candidates for either the U
pper or Lower House of Congress
ought to be judged solely by their
attitude toward great issues affect
ing tbe public welfare. For any man
to ask for votes on the ground that
he has got or can get bigger ap
propriations from tbe Federal Tre
asury than anybody else, is little
less than an insult to tbe intelli
gence and morals of the people.
We bave quoted it more than once
before, but we cannot refrain from
repeating again what Robert
Toombs, tbe great Georgian, said
in the United States Senate fifty
years ago when he spoke against
an appropriation proposed for bis
own State. "I am just as much
opposed to an abuse in Georgie as
lam to an abuse in New York,"
be said; and then be uttered this
sentiment which ought to be im
mortal:
"Whenever tbe system shall be
firmly established that tbe States
will enter a miserable scramble for
tbe most money for their local ap
propriations, and that Senator is to
be regarded tbe ablest representa
tive of bis State who can get for it
the largest slice of the treasury,
from that day public honor and
property are gone and all the States
are disgraced and degraded."—The
Progressive Farmer.
Public Speaking
Hon. John H. Small. Democratic
Candidate for Congress will speak
in WILLIAMSTON, on Monday
night, OCTOBER 21st. atßo'clock
City Hall.
At ROBERSONVILLE, on Sat
urday, OCTOBER 26th he, will
speak with the County Candidates.
Geo. T. Craddock, Rubie, Ark.,
gays: "I was botj»ered with lumbago
for seven years so bad x could not
work. I tried several kinds of
kidney medicine which gave .me
little or no relief. Two bottles of
Foley Kidney Pills cured me and
now I can do any kind of work.
I cheerfully recommend them to my
friends." Saunders & Fowden.
Why Kitchin Failed to Vote
The partisans of Senator Sim
mons have scanned the twelve
years' record of Governor Kitchin
in congress hoping to 'find some
thing prejudicial to his candidacy
for the senate. Failing to find any
vote which was undemocratic, re
actionary or against the interests
of tbe people, they seized upon the
fact that he failed to vote on a num
ber of roll calls during the last six
months of his long service there,
and tbey are publishing it far and
wide.
He failed to vote because he was
addressing the people of North
Carolina in behalf of his candidacy
for governor. He fouud it nec
essary tg do this to an unusual ex
tent to combat the efforts of Sena
tor Simmons to boss and dictate the
politics of the state. When Mr.
Kitchin decided to aspire to the
high office of governor he disclosed
his ambition to Governor Glenn,
Senator Overman and Senator Sim
mons, the three highest officials of
the state, and asked what would
be their attitude. They all told
him that they would be neutral in
the contest and keep hands off.
Each kept his promise except Sen
ator Simmons, who afterwards used
his entire influence and all tbe acts
of tbe machine politician and boss
ta defeat Mr. Kitchin. It was well
understood that his supreme desire
was to defeat Kitchin and his ef
fort to elect some one else was mere
ly a means to that end.
Mr. Kitchin appealed to the peo
ple over the heads of the would-be
boss and the machine politiciams.
The people knew be was not in
Washington, but they knew be was
doing the state a great service and
they approved his course by nam
ing him governor. They rejoiced
to know that a man could become
governor without the permission of
any boss or little set of men. They
rebuked those who boasted that
Kitchin could not be nominated be
cause the men who made governors
were against him.
Senator Simmons is thoroughly
reactionary and out of sympathy
with tbe progressive spirit in the
democratic parly. That he is a
machine politician is amply proven
by the methods pursued lu this
campaign. Should he be allowed
to dominate the politics of this
state the special interests will have
a free hand, and the people, to use
the expression of Woodrow Wilson,
might as well go fishing. Else why
are the favor seeking classes sup
posting him in preference to both
Kitchin and Clark?
As Woodrow Wilson said in his
recent Princeton speech "There is
no difference between a democratic
boss and a republican boss, because
neither of them is working for his
party. They are working for their
clients.''
We are soon to decide whether
progressive democracy or the
special interests and the reaction
aries shall rule in this state. And
the people will approve the present
course of Governor Kitchin in going
out among them, and, face to face,
warning them of the danger.
Every republican paper in North
Carolina and every near republican
paper in the state is supporting
Senator Simmons. There's a rea
son. The Winston Republican
says:
"Democrats accuse Senator Sim
mons of voting wi*h republicans.
Admit it. - The Senator knew that
a little republican good policy would
greatly leven the democratic lump."

SI.OO a Year in Advance
Greatly Enlarged
The txcellent reputation left by
the Sparks Shows ou former visits
to this city would 8 lone insure a
liberal patronage this time, hut the
lus 4 y growth and vast improve
ments in the show since its last
visit will make it more attractive
than [ever.
Sparks is a man of energy and
enterprise,, wide experience and
ample capital, and he has brought
all this to bear ia making his show
superior to all other similar exhibi
tions. He has a brand new train
of monster-railway cars built espec
ially for him, all new gorgeous
cages, dens, costly trappings, etc.
He has expended over $40,000 in
increased equipment. Every effort
has been made regardless o/ cost to
make his show satisfying to his
pride and advanced ideas. That
he has succeeded is amply proven
by the way the newspapers speak
of his exhibition wherever he has
appeared. It is the universal ver
dict that he has now the most
splendid, complete and hight-class
exhibition of its kind in America.
Evtry one should come to town
in time to fee the gorgeous street
parade at noon, and then follow to
tbe show grounds where some big
freeoutsideexhibitions are schedul
ed to take place just previous to the
opening of the doors to the main
tent. The Sparks Shows will ex
