THE ENTERPRISE
A Sound Speech
The Hon. John H "Small, Con
gressman from the* First District
and nominee for re election, spoke
before a goodly number of the citi
zens of Williamston on Monday
night in the City Hall. He was
introduced by Mr. Clayton Moore,
who pai.i a fitting tribute to the
worth of the Representative from
the First District during the four
. teen years of service.
Mr. Small's, speech was a strong
plea for the fundamental pririliples
, of good government and the rule
of the people, all of which is up
held by the Democratic party and
, that alone. He advocated a legal
ized primary, a system of drainage
and other improvements for the
State which would make for the
good and happiness of its people.
He gave a concise history of tariff
i measures which have been enacted
trom time to time, the formation of
trusts and monopolies, and declar
ed that protection is a menace to
tbe country; that the Republican
party has thrown a wall of protec
tion about the money trust and it
in turn is contributing enormous
sums to perpetuate that party and
to oppress the masses - Every word
uttered by Mr. Small was a clarion
call for pure, sound Democracy
under the leadership of Woodrow
Wilson, whose election he predtct
ed, having recently been in New
England and taken note of the
enthusiasm for Democratic success.
He emphasized in no uncertain
words that it is the duty of every
man to stand on the party platform.
Mr. Small is the most active man
in the North Carolina delegation,
and his nomination by acclamation
at Elizalwth City was a proof of
the appreciation be is receiving
from the Democrats of tbe First
District. Martin Couuty is always
glad to cast its vote fur him
The Pants Factory
The Hamilton Pants Mfg. Co ,
which moved its plant here and
began operations on September
i6tb., though not working the
maxium number of employees yet,
is making splendid success as re
ported Wy the Secretary and Treas
urer, Mr. C. H. Baker, who also
sells the stock on the road. The
plant is putting out a line of spring
and summer pants now and the
sales have been unusually good. Iu
one especial line, they are unable
to supply the demand. It was at
first thought that no goods would
be shipped before January the first
but with the present output, it will
be possible to fill a large number of
orders before that date. The
management is pleased with present
conditions and tbe future prospects
of the plaut. A visit to the factory
will convince one that everything is
arranged on a business-like princi
ple. The cutter is one of the most
experienced in the entire South.
A line of rubber coats has recently
been put in to serve the trade.
Neat wooden packing boxes ready
to be put up for shipment are stored
in large quantities, and a careful
shipping clerk insures promptness,
and satisfaction.
A large stock of cloth for a fine
line of pants has been received and
soon the factory wiil be filling
orders for this grade of goods.
Mrs. T. A. Town, 107 6th St.,
Watertown, S. D., writes: "My
four 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
tbe 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

THE MAGNET —-
Trained Animals
The management of the Sparks
Shows have made it a study for
years to gtve a circus program re
plete in all particulars, and know
ing full well the importance of
some high-class animal acts on the
program, have this year imported
from Germany several acts that
can not fail to creat a sensation.
The Germans have made animal
training a fine art, and some of the
most notable animal acts in this
country are but copies of tbe won
derful acts as they are produced
across the wate*.
The acts imported from Ger
many this season include a spec
tacular equine drill and pyramid
performance by a group of Ara
bian stallions that is said to be tbe
most beautiful piece of horse train
ing ever attempted. The herd of
performing elephants under tbe
direction of their Germau trainer.
Paul Jacoby, will produce group
ings, pyramids and maneuvers here
tofore thought impossible. A
group of lorest bred African lions
will also bold an importaut place on
this interesting program on account
of the wonderful control their train
er, Mr. Fritz Brunner, has over
the e really ferocious man killing
beasts.
The extensive menagerie carried
by the show also affords unusual
interest to those who are fond of
studying animal life. In it are
presented many new specimens
hitherto unkuown to tbe zoos of
America.
Besides the trained animals some
of the world's greatest gjmnasts,
aerialists, acrobats and equestrians
have a place on the bill, and after
the grand opening spectacle, which
is brilliant in its coloring and mas
sive in effect, the program will go
forward with so much vim and
vigor, the acts will be of such a
high order and classified to such a
nicety, that the most crical audi
ence can not help but be plfeased.
The Sparks Shows will give two
complete exhibitions in this city on
Wednesday Oct. 30.
Protection Hurts Farmers
The farmer must pay for tbe
goods he buys, and he gets no more
for what he sells. For ourselves,
we cannot escape the conclusion,
therefore, that the policy of a pro
teetive tariff is diametrically oppos
ed to the interest of farmers as a
class; and even those farmers who
believe in the protection of infant
industries should work in their own
parties against the extention of the
doctrine which makes tbe tariff a
shelter for the trusts. —The Pro
gressive Farmer.
Geo. T. Craddock, Rubie, Ark.,
says: "I was bothered with lumbago
for seven years so bad 1 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.

Good Tobacco
On Friday, October iSth., the
Dixie Warehouse sold on its door,
r,072 pounds of tobacco, being one
barn, at a net price of $377.13.
making an average of 35.18 cents
per pound. It was part of a tour
acre crop raised by W. C. Whitley
of Criffins Township, Maftin
County. Tbe four acres brought
$262.50 tach. This is one of the
good sales which has been on the
market here this seascn. Martin
County tobacco is hard to beat any
where. One lot of this tobacco
brought 50 cents perpouna Watch

toes, tobacco, bogs and cattle.
J. G. Criswell, a painter living

County Campaign 'Opens
According to appointment, the
county candidates met at Oak City,
Friday October rStb. for the pur
pose of opening the county cam
paign. About tbe noon hour, Hon.
Hairy W. Stubbs addressed the
audience—estimated to be
abcW five hundred, stating that
bis speech ar.d those of the candi
dates to folic w him would be brief
inasmuch as Hon. Claude Kitcbin
wes expected to deliver a lengthy
address at tbe close of the announ
cements of the several candidates.
Mr. Stubbs urged tbe voters of
Martin County to support the entire
Democrrtic ticket including himself
and Capt. Studdert—nominees for
the Senate from tbe Second District.
After Mr. Stubbs tbe other candi
dates spoke briefly in the following
order: J C. D. Car
starphen, S. S. Brown and A. R.
Dunning.
At 12:30 o'clock, Hon. W. G.
Lamb, in a few well-chosen words,
introduced the speaker of the day,
Hon. Claude Kitcbin, who, after a
few pleasantries and general re
marks, stated that it was not his
purpose to make u regular political
speech but rather to discuss the
National Senatorial question as it
affected North Carolina. For more
than two hours, this gifted speaker
in his strong and forceful manner,
exposed the record of Senator Sim
mons, showing that be had fre
quently alligned himself with the
stand-pat Republican and thus
disregarding Democratic principle
and platform. He stated that he
bad the Congressional Record and
more than a hundred clippings
from both Democratic and Republi
can papers published in tbe various
states of the Union, substantiating
every charge that he made. He
often threw out tha challenge that
if any of the friends of Simmons
would furnish proof that he had in
any way misrepresented the Sena
tor's record, that he would have
hisbrother.Gov Kitchin, withdraw
from tbe race within a few minutes
after receiving such proof.
Among the numerous quotations
which be read was one from Bry
an's paper, "Tbe Commner." ol
Oct. nth. Ij 12: "Senator Simmons
asks the people of North Carolina
for re-election. He ought to be
defeated. North Carolina is iu
reality a progressive state. It is
intitled to be represented in the U.
S. Senate by a man whose heart is
known to be in sympathy with the
people. Mr. Simmons is not such
a man He would do very well as
a representative of the stand-pat
Republican party. He will not do
as a representative of tbe Demo
cratic party if that partv is to be
true to its principle:." I
At tbe conclusion of Mr. HCitch
in's speech, a barbecue was served
by Messrs. Arriugton Kitchin and
Benjamin Cloman, and this was a
pleasant ending to a great Detno
ciatic day at Oak City.
Mrs. Peter Holan, 11501 Buck
eye Rd, Cleveland, 0., says: "Yes
indeed I can recommend Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound. My
little boy bad a bad case of whoop
ing cough, some time he was blue
in the face. I gave him Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound, and it
had a remarkable eflect and cured
him in a short time." Contains no
harmful drugs. Saunders & Fow

Christy's Minstrels at the Arcade
Theatre this week is one of the best

Sun.
Tom Settle's appearance here
Saturday was a huge as he
had nothing to say worth while.
He is trying hard to make it nppear
that Woodrow Wilson 1» running
on the same old liquor barrel thathe
is carrying around. That is a lame
job he has undertaken, for every
reasonable man kuows that North
Carolina is governing herself and
decided to do so by a big majority.
Local self government to a whiskey
soak has but one meaning—debau-
chery and the open door for liquor.
si.oo a Year in Advance
A Critical Juncture
In a recent speech against the
election of Jas. Smith, Jr-, to the
United States Senate, Woodfow
Wilson declared him to be a reac
tionary Democrat and said:
"We are at a ciitical juncture in
the history of America tnd at a very
critical juncture in the history of
the Democratic party. There is
only one condition upon which the
Democratic party can gain the con
fidence of the nation and that con
fidtnce is that it should have itself
through and through absolutely
committed to progressive policy.
Just so certainly as it makes any
other choice, it will be rejected now
anH need have co h.>pe whatever of
being chosen for our generation."
When this statement by the presi
dential candidate is considered in
connection with recent declaration
by W. J. Bryan that Senator Sim
mons is not a progressive, it be
comes strikingly applicable to the
Senatorial situation in North Caro
lina. Mr. Bryan doubtless formed
his opinion of Senator Simmons
from his record in congress, with
which he is thoroughly familiar.
Mr. Bryan's opinion of him is con
firmed by what is now going on in
this State. The reactionary forces
are now supporting him ardently,
and they usually know their man.
Republicans are supporting him in
great numbers and the special in
terests are aiding him all they can.
Senator Simmot>s is not a progres
sive and his friends ouly make
themselves ridiculous when they
claim he is. This being so, it is
not probable that a State as pro
gressively Democratic as North
Carolina is will return him to the
Seuate at Ibis critical juncture.
The reactionaries which Senator
Simmons foug'it in iyo2 under the
names of' 'Commercial Democrats"
and "Independent Democrats" are
now rejoicing under bis banner.
Why? He has embraced
their views and btcc m» their lead
er; that's all —The Clayton News.
