' Vol. IV, Nail. . ' . ENFIELD, N. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1903.. .. . . $10 Per Year CasttT j' From To the Editor: ; . Please permit me to say to the friends of ourticketthat encour aging news comes to me every day. A few of the men we nominated, . for one reason, or another, have issued cards de dining to run. But this does not hurt our ticket in the least , Ou chances for winning are just as good : as if those who withdrew had remained.' : We had an , en thusiastic meeting of the execu tive committee today, and after tabulating the ' vote, counting only those of whom we are sure; leaving a large number of whom we are almost sure, we found we were stronger than we had even hoped. Unless I fail to read the signs correctly, the beginning of the end of the "Old Ring" is at hand. .' Let's press the battle to ' the last ditch, and the time is not far distant; when it can be said "The People Rule' n Hali fax County. ' This is all we. ask, and we will never accept less, no never. This movement was forced on us. It could, not be avoided. . ' Self, respecting- men could no longer tolerate the con dition of affairs as they existed here and we have put our heads and j shoulders together to de throne the autocratacy, and to retire the unprincipled politi cians, and put men in our offices who are the choice of the people, and who have neither bought nor, cheated : to, get; the office. , Let the barbecues go on, but don't be dismayed. "You ' can't fool all the people all the time." These will : not, satisfy an out raged' and indignant public. Some of the best men in the county are in this movement, and they will never let up until the " principles for which our fathers died are recognized and respected and true Democracy raises it's banner again. . So press the bat tle, c Our achievements have already surpassed our expecta tions', and we look for still better things on the third of November, and' better government in the future because of our movement; Yours for victory, , ; ' . ' B. D. Mann. Enfield, N. C. Oct 22.. Chanler Now Proving His Sanity. John Armstrong Chanler (or Chaloner as he now spells his name), has been proving his sanjfy in court proceedings before Commissioner Booth at Chariot ts? viOe, . Va. The object of the suit is to legally establish Chanler's sanity and to recover his fortune which he alleges has , been confiscated by the New York courts. Mr. Chanler took the stand in his own behalf and told hh life story. . ' He said he was a citizen of Roanoke Rapids, N. C, was a lawyer and had written several hoiks. He recently changed his name to the older name of 'Chal oner. He had traveled exten sively, he said, i this country, Southland CentrarAmerica and Europe. He testified that one of the causes, for ill feeling that exists- between him and hi3 brothers was that at the. time of hU engagement to Amelie Rives, the authoress, one of his brothers, Winthrop Astor Chanler, sent him a copy of her book, "The Quick or the Dead," with hostile criticisms marked in blue pencil on the margin. He showed this to his fiancee, the result being that she did not invite any of his brothers and sisters to the wed ding, the single exception being Ilargaret Livingstone Chanler, now Mrs. Richard Aldrich. Chaloner charges his brother, An ' VrcurzzZ Letter Cclrmsn Mann. Lewis Stuyvesant. Chanler, candidate for Governor of New York,, on the Democratic ticke with fraud. He practically alleges that his brother made laise certihcate m order to ge him to a madhouse. Roanoke News. - -" - Enfield .Tobacco Market , Notes. All grades of tobacco are sti selling high -on the Enfield Mar ket and all the buyers seem to be very anxious for the weed.

The most courteous treatmen t is accorded every planter, who sell his : tobacco on the Enfield i Market. , Store Advertising. ; Jhe purpose of store advertis ing is not merely to ' sell goods, but to sell more goods to make friends, build up a patronage hat will not only stick butgrow Newspapers reach the' greatest number of people in the immedi ate vicinity in the most natural way, at the least expense, and they are therefore the best of all mediums for stores. In a news' paper you ionow tne lines ot m t A east resistance you follow with the stream you talk . to an audience already assembled,, to the people who want to fead their mental ! cosmos is. right they are on your wire, and they won'txing off if you hold - their interest. Attraction is the basis of all advertising the store is the sun, the customers, the plan ets that revolve around it. The Barber's Pole. " How many of our readers tell us what the stripes on barber pole signify? You; the" pole with the stripes can the see and you know there is a barber, shop back of the pole, but" here the knowledge of the average person ceases. In the early, days bar bers did the bleeding; for the community, anai. surgeons were not as- plentiful' as now. The first things thought necessary, way down to the time of George Washington's death, was that any patient should be bled. Tap him, and take a few ounces of blood from him, no matter how weak he might be.: WhenWash ington was at the last gasp, the fools bled him. Well, the red stnpes on a barber pole mean the red ribbon bandages that barbers bound over the wdunds caused by bleeding people. That's all When they got through with a plethoric man, of full habit and had . tapped him like a hard maple tree in Feb ruary, he was patched up and bandanged till his arms, legs and trunks looked like a much-gartered leg. , Items of Interest from Halifax. .

Your correspondent was called to Elm City last ' Friday on account of the death of an aunt; who had lived in' this world r of sorrows, disappointments, and mishaps for about- sixty-five years; nearly fifty: years of her ife- having lived: a consistent christian life. The occassion was frbught. with . sadness 'fo more reasons than one: as we oolced where the familiar scenes of-our childhood should have beepand saw so few recogniza ble, we fully realized t he varied changes which the lapse of years has made possible.
