He Couldn't Stand
Dixie.
The maine man who thinks he
h a 8 grown tired o f hearing
Dixie"-, played .b y restaurant
bands takes hls-place iri the cron-
icles of the day. He has found
a new grievance and. is welcomed
because he increased the visible
supply of the spice of life. No
body has ever complained o f
"Dixia before. -The tune was
sung and whistled in the north f
alt though the war between the
sections. Nearly all other large
1 y popular tunes have grown
wearesome.. . "Annie Laurie,"
"The Old Folks at ' Home," and
"The Last Rose, o f Summer,"
pall upon us. . But 'Dixie" has
been found by official investiga
tors to be the best-liked! tune in
the country. It stirs air hearts.
Wherefore, the map. from Maine
is an oddity unless, as is more
thanjikely, he does hot know one
tune from another and has con
fused "D'ixie" with the contem
porary "rag" in some of its de
velopments. " In any case, we can sympat
hize with his. demand for a re
staurant where, there is no music
aud since folks-began1: to dance
between the courses of the table
d'hote, there are very few? such
left In these parts.' People .who
like to aid digestion with quiet
conservation must dine' at home
these days. But of all the music
we may hear in the popular eat
ing places: "Dixie" is generally
accounted the least objectionable.
People who were bom in the
south- or have agreeable memor
les of that part pi . the country
mav liaie a deeper affection for
the tune.lhan others have, but it
is such a good American tune as
to inspire enthusiasm whenever
it is beard without regard to re
sr'tonal or neighborhood preju
diMis.' No Maine man in his
nnrmnl frfttne of' mind could dis
like "Dixie" unless he is so. un
happily constituted as to dislike
all tunes. ; We, must Infer that
this one was out of harmony,
temporarily. ' "

S u f f r a g e - -
Richmond, Va., Jan. 30. -Pfla
ciples for which the Revolution
ary and Civil Wars were fought
were Invoked in the cause of wo
man, suffrage , here tonight by
Walter Clark, Chief Justice-of
the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, addressing the "equal
Suffrage League of .Virginia. ;
- TAXATION PRINCIPLE, f
"We fought the - Revolution
upon the ground of .'no taxation
without representation,' " " said
the speaker, ''yet a large part of
the property of this country,
probably a third; is now held- by
women. They are heavily taxed,
yet they are denied all voice in
fixing the amount-of taxation and
in the disposition, of the vast
sums which they, pay into the
public treasury. "u :
"More than 60 years ago;it
was declared tk at this country
cannot live half slave and half
free, It is equally true now that
our civilization cannot, progress
to-4ts ultimate triumph with half
our population' denied all share
and control in the direction of
the Government." -
Opponents to equal suffrage
w ere grouped By Chief i J u&tice
Clerk lnto-three classes i v
"Those allied with financial in
terests which back the--whiskey
trust and the vice trust, and the
men who are allied with - condi
tions created by these interests.
Those who are always opposed
to anv change of any kind ifl the
existing order of things and
those who usually .believe that
women are incompetent." :
; Declaring that civilization al
ways has been measured by r the
status of , women, the speaker
outlined the evolution of man's
relations to the opposite. sex and
pictured f as "its culmination a
state in which man and woman
should enjoy jointly alljthe rights
and priveleges of political and
social organization. ,
NOW IN 10 STATES.
It has been well said," conti
nued Justice .Clark. .''That, a
single fact is ' worth a i shipload
of argument. - Against all the
theoretical arguments as ; to the
unfitness and incompetence of
woman and the evil effects upon
the ballot, we may point "to the
fact that country after country
has adopted equal suffrage and
in this Union 10 States : and one
Territory have conferred full
suffrage upon them," ; '
',' Southern States have fallen be
hind in this movement, said the
speaker. " We have boasted of
ouf chivalrous regard for women
but we have not been sincere.
1 We men had abetter do like
Captain Scott's coon and come
down..' ' Women know they are
as much entitled, to the ballot as
we are. They have set out to
get it, and we will have no. rest
until they get it. Men and breth
ren, we might as 'i well .come
down." , . ' ' "

r Editor News-Record; At six
a'.'i.',' January 24th," I left Mar
shall on. train number 86. At
Ashevllle I. waited about two
hours for train number 22, which
carried me safely on to Golds
boro; hy ten o'clock that riigbt.
The, following morning I resumed
mV journey by rail and arrived
at Beaufort by 11 a. m. As the
mail boat does not run on Sun
days I "had ; to - wait over at
Beaufort for it 'tiltthe next day.
The twenty five miles between
Beaufort and Wit were safely
traveled by boat,' and I reached
my ' destination by noon of the
26th. 1 -.-, v - -
On : Tuesday morning Mrs.
Maud Hill and -1 opened school.
Mrs. Hill has the first and Second
graded and I have tfte others up
to and including the seventh.
We had only 36 pupils the first
day, hut. have now enrolled 48.
We bad school Saturday tq make
up for- Monday. So far I have
found ihis a very good place in
which to teach.
The gentleman with whom I
am boarding, Mr. Maltby Taylor,
is one of the : leading citizens of
tbj's county..' He owns a fine
residence and he aud his brother
Tun a large store and also own
an oyster factory. Mr. Taylor is
one of the county commissioners,
too, 1 - '
I : haye . a. real nice , place to
board. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor
try to make everything pleasant
former I have a nice room all
to myself, furnished with (able,
chair, bed, bureau, stove, wash-
stand, bowl and pitcher, comb,
lamp, etc. To this may be added
my trunk.
I was somewhat surprised to
learn on reaching this place that
Miss Dovie Rector of Marshall
had taught here some years ago.
I did not think of any Madison
teacher ever having visited this
place before- But I ; am glad to
hear Miss Rector's former pa
trons and pupils speak in praise
of her as a teacher, as I have
heard them do quite often since
coming here. May I make as
good an' impression as the has
left. If no poorer, I shall be
satisfied. '
But little farming is done in
this immediate section except the
erowfng of sweet potatoes. The
yield is about 400 bushels per
acre, and a thousand bushels is
about an average crop for one
man. ..The price is about , 50c.
per bushel.
Now, dear reader, if you are
my "sure enough" friend, , as I
know inaiiy of you are, and will
write to me I shall certainly ap
preciate it. I am something like
500 miles from home. ,
Respectfully yours, . .

MICHIGAN MAN PRESENT WHEN
0. 0. P. WAS BORN.
A. A, Dorrance Only Survivor of
Founders of the Republican
Party. :
Grand Rapids, Jan. 30. Of
all the-men who stood under the
Oaks at Jackson, Mich., on July
6, 1854, and who. were instru
mental In the founding of the
present republican party, but one
survives. He is A. A. Dorrance,
of Cold water, Mich., and he is
nonliving in his eighty-seventh
year. Mr. Dorrance feels proud
of : his notable political expe
rience, and relates the details
with child-like enjoyment,
J'The plaoe of the birth of the
modern 1 republican party, Jike
that of. Homer, is claimed by
several communities" - said Mr,
Dorranoe recently, "but Jackson,
Mich., is the real location. I
believe I am in a . position to
swear to that fact,' because I was
there, '
"At that time I was the editor
and publisher of the Jackson
State Gazette, and in that capac
ity was interested more or less
with the politics of the state.
TELLS OF THE MEETING.
"I remember that a number of
us younger fellows got together
shortly before the historic gath '
ering and by effecting a unity of
the anti slavery whigs, the free
soil democrats and . the old time
abolitionists we were able to elect
mazoo. to congress. . " r
"This gave ua some idea of
what we could do. So a call was
Issued for a mass meeting to be
held in Jackson on July 6, 1854.
Fully two "thousand persons in
terested in state politics attended
that convention. I remember,
and there was a magnificent dis
play of patriotic enthusiasm.
Jacob M. Howard, afterward a
United States senator, drew up
the platform. In this platform
the extension of slavery was
opposed and its abolition in the
District of Columbia was favored.
The name 'republican' also was
then adopted for the party.
"1 believe that on July 13, a
week after we held our organiza
tion mass meeting, similar meet
ings were held in , Ohio, Wiscon
sin and Vermont,, and because
these gatherings came so close
together the real ; birthplace of
the party has become conf used,"
Mr. . Dorrance was born in
Orleans county, New York, Sep
tember" 8, 1827, and was , the
youngest of- eleven children.
After obtaining a fair education
in much the same manner that
Lincoln did, he went to New
York city, where he secured a
position. "cubbing" on the New
York Tribune. It was in the
capacity of western correspon
dent that be came to Michigan
in 4848. Shortly after his arrival
he acquired the Jacksqn State
Gazette and became interested
in the affairs of the nation. After
the organization of the republi
can party he became identified
with Detriot newspapers and. he
edited - and controlled nearly
dozen dailies and weeklies up to
the time of his retirement from
active life several years ago.
Mr. Dorrance has always
lived up ' lb the - philosophy that
''We pass this way but once, and
we should do all ; we , are capable
of while trudging along."- A!
ways temperate in his habits, he, market is getting better - all the
has presesved himself so well' time now and our bonds are guilt

laughs and remarks: "I'm good
for twelve years yet 'at least
Watchr me. I'll make the cen-
tury mark easily." .
t
Items From Mars
Hill.
A meeting of a little more than
a week at Mars Hill has resulted
in a revival of interest in the
things of the Kingdom. Rev. J.
R. Owen, of Canton," preached
faithfully twice each day a full
Gospel, and it proved to be "the
power of God unto salvation" for
many. Twenty-four have been
received for baptism, and others
will yet present themselves.
There were several restorations,
and many young men an women
dedicated themselves to a life of
service. It was a season of calm,
deliberate decision on the' part
of these fine strong young peo
ple to make their lives under
God count for tho most,, and a
fuller richer life is theirs. There
are fifteen young ministers in
school, -young men of decided
promise. Every girl in school is
a profes3ing Christian, and very
few of the young men -have not
at least in name received Christ
into their lives..
The attendance at the College
passes all records, the enroll
ment for the year passing the
four hundred mark. Some thirty
of the young men are boarding
themselves in clubs, and. living
on about $7.00 a month. This
includes room rent, table board, '
lighWnauel'The" total-for
literary tuition and fees has in
creased less than one "Idollara
term : during a period of more
than ten years, while the teach-.
ing force has' been doubled. .A
boy who wants to do- so can
spend a year of nine months in
school here for less than $90.00
and many of our finest fellows
by working get along on much
less than this amount. The
prices at Mars Hill School have
not gone up in proportion to the
rising cost of living elsewhere.
The doors still swing open to the
poor boy and poor . girl who are
hungry for an education and
willing to make sacrifices to get
it; And they are here by the
score. R. L. MOORE.
The King of All Laxatives
For constipation, use Dr. King's
New Life Pills. Paul Mathulka, of
Buffalo N. Y., says they are the
"king of all laxatives. They are a
blessing to all my family and I always
keep a box at home." Get a box and
get well again. Prlca25c At Drug
