Interesting Reading for The Voter and Taxpayers of The County. (Paid Campaign matter.) Senators 34th Senatorial Dist. EDMUND F. WAKELIELD Caldwell County. C. ALBERT SPENCER Burke -County.

ANDY K GOODMAN County Commissioners .JOHN M. SMITH COLUMBUS M. RADHR W. DAVID W ILK IE Tht' County Campaign ojened at Gaine,well Monday 1 4 tli with n good size crowd. The Demo cratic side is represented by Rev. E. D. Crisp, .1. I'. Icard, J. M. Crisp and E. L. Steele. The Republicans are represented by M. N. Harshaw, F. R. Tilley, S. S. Jennings, and M. C. Estes. Rev. E I). Crisp and M. N. liar shaw do most of the speech mak ing for the crowds. They visit ed Gamewell, North Catawba, Hudson. Granite Falls, Dudley Shoals and Little River last week and had good crowds at all the places. The Republicans at each place being largely in the majority and very anxious for the scrap on Nov. Ttth. This writer has often canvassed the county and thinks he know? something of the sentiment of the people when he mingles witji them, and he gives it as his candid opinion that the Re publican party was never in as tine trim as it is today and never made a tight with as good pros pect of victory as it is making today. If the Republican coun ty ticket does not win we shall be very much disappointed. There is no kicking or criticizing the ticket and complaining about the candidates. Every Republi can seems satisfied and so far as we hear will vote the entire ticket. The candidates are hav ing a good time, the best of feel ing prevails among them, each being polite and courteous to the other. Ret. E. D. Crisp makes a tiair ly good iKlitical speech for a man who never took much part in polities. We refrain here from any criticism of him. He is do ing the best he can and angels can do no more. As to the Re publican condidate for the Leg islature he is an old hand at the business, and his friends tell him he gets better as he gets older. In any event he is doing his best for his party and predicts a glo rious victory for his party in the county November the fifth. Next week we go to the west ern part of the county and wc will report our impressions of that section later. The county people are all right and don't you forget it. All Republicans should be careful to see that their names are properly registered so there will be no trouble about voting on election day. But the Republican party Is not the only party that is split. If you think so just read,a few yerses from Kitchinto Simmons and from Simmons to Kitehin. From the way the Simmons nd Kitehin people are getting at each others throats, goes to show that the donkey party hasn't got an overproduction of harmony in its ranks. Times are alright now, but if Mr. Wilson is elected just watch out and tell us how they will be twelvemonths from to day. Stick a pin here. When a farmer votes the Democratic ticket he is voting down the price of his cotton, corn, peas, potatoes. iorK, oeeu, chickens and eggs. He may not have sense enough to know it, but he is just the same. Bet ter watch beloved and vote for the interest of your wife and children awhile. We have had good times ever since McKinley pulled the count ry out of the "Slough of Des lK)nd." where Cleveland and the Democratic party had pushed it when they had the power. Now if the people haven't got any more sense than to trust that crowd again they will simply take their medicine. Drink soup That's the stuph If Mr. Wilson is elected we will experience Bryanistn in its worst form, as Mr. Wilson would make Mr. Mryan Sect, of State, .losephus Daniels. Sect, of War, and the remainder of his cabinet made up of about the same class of fellows, and when that crowd gets to running the United States Government joil may look for the thing to iro in the ditch if not to the devil. The farmers and working peo pie should remember what hap pen to them about twenty years ago, they should profit by that expenece, out there are so many young tellows that have grown up since then that it seems they too must go to the school ol ex perienee, and Wood row Wilson is a "school teacher." A four year course in his political col lege will cure your Democracy alright young man. Perhaps you need the treatment anyway Wood row Wilson is at last showing to the country what a small man he really is. He made charges that the stec trust is behind the third party program. Col. Roosevelt promptly called on him to prove it or retract it, then the little Simpleton said "the steel cor poration was behind the third party program in thought.' How does little Woody Wilson know what the steel corporation "thought." Such talk is enough to disgust even Joseph Daniels Too tli in Wood row, There is no one that can tel who is going to be elweted to the Presidency this year. Of course nil intelligent people know that As usual the Demo cratic papers are claiming every thing for their candidate but. they always make such reckless claims that thinking people at tach but very little importance to anything they say.

It is impossible to make pre vention .against the acts of men who are bent upon assassination. No man has ever been surround ed with so many guards or was so closely watched by so many sec ret senrice men as the belov ed McKinley and it was not sup- xjsed that he had an enemy in the world there was the kind- iest feeling toward him by men of every party and he was the Tictim of a man whose life gave no promise that he would be sent to the gallows. Mr. Roose velt has always mingled freely among the ieople and while he was President he was given all the protection that was possible, but he never hesitated to tro .mywhere lie pleased; -he knew the danger that came to any man that took an active part in politics and particularly a man who was as strenuous and earn esi in advocating ins ixiicies as . - i i ie was. but he had a broad 'liough comprehension to under stand that a man must even risk lis liVe to be a leader of a great party. Nobody lias ever doubt ed his courage and he showed a nerve and self possession that was marvelous when he found ie had been shot. The ability to go into a crowded auditorium md to speak with almost his ac customed vigor with the know ledge that a bullet had been sent hurling through his body, required determination and stuff the possession of which is the secret of Mr. Roosevelt's long continued popularity. All over the country the fact that he did not permit this tragedy to interfere with his speech and that he went on in the M'i formance of what he re garded as a duty against the ad vice of physicians .has called forth from his friends and sup porters the warmest tributes of praise and that fact has made an impression on the wnoie world, as evidenced by the ca blegrams from Europe and all other places where he has travel eo. ne is a marvelous man, i i and nothing has sluwn this more than his conduct and his bearing in this crisis in which a man less resolute would have succumbed to the shock. More than that, he is a man who is master of himself. Alter he had spoken and was being hur ried to the hospital in Chicago he made light of his wound, was chiefly solicitous for his wife and showed more concern that she should not be unduly alarmed than he showed about himself, he had his customary interview with the newspaper men that afternoon, dictated telegrams and letters, held political coun sel with his advisers dictated a message to a meeting of his party in Louisville and read himself to sleep from Mccaulay's s after calling for hot water so that he could shave himself. No matter whether you agree with a single tenet of his political faith or not, there is a feeling that a man who is capable of such self control and such courage illustrates the type of American manhood that call for unstinted praise anil admira tion and causes every American citizen to hope that so full and resourceful a life maybe spared General Grants face will ap pear on the new $10,tXK) notes. How fortunate for many of us who desire to look upon" the pic ture of the famous general that wG will bo able to find it in the history. The Lenoir News $1. the year. 'DRIFT OF STRAWS" Herald's Poll Shows Taft Third But Gaining. New York. Oct. 10. Governor Wilson still went in the lead! Mr. Roosevelt 'Second.

Profretiive More Bjr Gnitoni Doctors iKroin The lJ;i.-.tonia liaiette.i We know of no movement now on foot that means more for the younger people than the plan set on foot by the physicians of Gaston to give the pupils of every public school in the coun ty free lectures on contagious diseases and sanitation. These are subjects upon which dense ignorance prevails and if the growing generation can be educated up to their responsi bility in the matter of sanitation and prevention ot disease it means a stronger and a better citizenship, physically, morally and mentally.
