THAT WHICH IS MORALLY WRONG &WNOT BE POLITICALLY RIGHT.
VOLUME 1.
THOMASVILLE, N. C, FWIpfYj OCTOBER 21, 1910.
NUMBER 21
Hon. L J. Justice Makes a Great
Speech Before a Great Crowd.
Hon. E. J. Justice, of, Greensboro,
made a strong speech for demo
cracy in the Armory Tuesday night
to a large crowd of - representative
citizens. The speaker, always
good, was at his best He spoke
plainly, candidly, eloquently, logi
cally and convincingly. His speech
was a "vote winner."
Mr. Justice began by saying that
he came here as a private citizen in
the interest of the Democratic par
ty, that he came not as a candidate
for any office, but simply because
he is . interested in good govern
ment He reviewed the history of
the Democratic party and quoted
Blackstone as saying that a Demo
cratic form of arovernment is best
for all countries.
"I see signs that the people of
North Carolina are becoming very
much like the insurgents of the
West" said the speaker, they are
determined to overthrow special
privileges and class legislation."
He said he came not for the pur
pose of abusing Republicans; and
continuing he said, "I recognize
political parties as essential to good
government, but parties are only
means to an end, and Republicans
and Democrats are subject to criti
cism when thev aro wrong." If the
democratic party cannot win upon
issues and merit, then it ought not
to win at all. The Democratic party
is going to win upon merit.
The only protest against class le
gislation and against privilege
comes from the Democratic party
said the speaker. There is not a
man in the Republican party in
North Carolina who will stand up
against the interests in favor ot the
people. Then why do they ask you
to turn back and vote for them?
North Carolina cannot and will not
from the very nature of things turn
back the movement is onward.
This is a year of insurgency. No
where this year has a stand-pat Re
publican won. The fight by the
classes has been waged and they
are still fighting, but they are los
ing. Speaking of the "cherished
ideals" of the Republican party the
speaker said the only cherished
ideal the Republican party in North
Carolina has is "privilege." They
stand for watered railroad stock,
tariffrusts, banks and subsidies,
and yet they ask you for your ballot.
They cannot serve God and Mam
mon. They cannot serve the inter
ests and the people.
Referring to Butler and bonds the
speaker answered Morehead's letter
to Aycpck. He said the bonds
could be collected whithout a vote of
the people if the Republicans should
get the Supreme Court, drawing his
conclusion from the precedent set
in the case of White vs Ayle. 4
am not willing to trust Butler,
said the speaker, because he has
fooled me and he is not worthy of
trust -a man who is fooled by him
again ought to be fooled. The first
time I ever saw Butler was in the
Democratic Convention of 1892. He
calledhimself a Democrat then. The
next time I saw him was in the year
following and he was speaking for
the populist party and the farmers
alliance. The next thing I heard of
him he had betrayed Pritchard and
bolted against him, and in a little
while he was bolting against the
whole race. Now we not onl3' find
him to be in the Republican party,
but find him to be the whole Repub
lican party. .
Butler has deserted everything
and everybody he ever had anything
to do with except his wife and the
amazing thing to me is that "she
has not deserted him."
The speaker closed with a strong
appeal to the voters, urging all to
vote the democratic ticket and thus
shake off the great national burdens
that hang over us.
Southern to Put n Two Mar Trains.
The Southern Railway, it is un
derstood, is considering making
some changes in its passenger ser
vice, in order that the traveling pub
lic between New York and points
South may be benefitted. It is un
derstood the Birmingham train, No.
30, which heretofore has been com
ing North only as far as Charlotte,
will be continued on through to
Washington. At present this train
stops in Charlotte. On or about
Nov. 23 it is understood that two
additional trains will be put on be
tween New YorV and Jacksonville
for the winter travel South. There
are other minor changes talked of
which will probably bs made effective.

months ago a citizen of Thomasville,

very suddenly, death resultingfrom
heart trouble.
Mr. Moore was well known to the
to the people of Thomasville. He
lived here for about 11 years, serving

Children office at the Orphanage.
A few months ago he decided to go
into the paper business for himself

A Communication.
Kditok of The Davidsonian:
We are all croud of our city, and
too much praise cannot be given,
to the Ladies of our Civic League
in creating a good ..healthful senti
ment, to beautifeihfflturally pret
ty situation of our city! We think
it is up to- the Commissionera-sittie
city to help and do something in
thi. HHtiitarv wav to abate some ot
the nuisances that are noticable in
the way of stables, pig pens and
unsightly buillings, especially
about sundown, (and other times.)
With our "Physicians andthedif
ferent state boards of health all
preaching sanitation to eradicate
diseases," would it not be a good
thing for this community to pro
hibit all hog pens within 200 feet of
a well? The physicians and scien
tists assert that "filth breeds
disease" and to pass along some of
our hio-hwavs would disprove this
fact.
We cannot encrouch upon the
liberty of the people, but something
should be done by the Commission
era of their town, to keep the air
pure for sanitation alone. -1 1
"Pro bono Publico."
fThis aufrcrestion is a good one
and we are glad to give the contrib
utor space. We trust that some
tiling will be done along this line.

Republican fmu Flying at Half Mas.
The flag at the Republican head
quarters has been flying at half-
mast for the last week. We surmise
the cause of it is that the reports
frorajthe county have been coming
in which shows that the prospect
of the Republicans electing either
of the candidates Is dead. It it our
nature to always symyathize with
those who are bereaved but in this
case we feel that the welfare of
Davidson County is far more impor
tant then the election of any one of
the Republican candidates. Lex

Col. Craig for Adjutant General
The many friends -I of our towns
man, Col. J. N.; Craig, have for.
warded a petitioajQi Governor Kit
chin asking hbfc U(4point Colonel
Craig AdutsjQMval to succeed
the late Genet liAi" Jfield. It is not
known that CI-JM Craig will ac
cept even if the appointment is ten
dered him, for to hold the office
would necessitate him moving his
residence to Raleigh. The posi
tion pays about $2,000 a year. Col.
Craig has a long and splendid mili
tary experience and is well qualified
to hold down the job of Adjutant
General. Gov. Kitchin will appoint
General Armfield' s successor this
week. Reidaville Review.
Col. Craig has the endorsement
of the local military company and
our officers hope to see him win.
His endorsement, signed by Capt
W. O. Burgin, Lieut Griffith and
Newby, was forwarded to Governor
Kitchin Monday.

The Wadesboro papers say that J
W. Gulledge, a lawyer of that town,
went to the Haag circus in Wades

for himself and his wife and a half
ticket for his little daughter. The
woman ticket taker didn't want to
let the little irirl in on a half ticket
and caught hold of her'to stop her.
Mr. Gulledge jerked the child away,
telling the ticket taker that the tick
et seller had seen the child when he
bought the half ticket for her.
Presently two of the circus employ
ees approached Mr. Gulledge and
attacked him, one holding him
while the other shuck him several
timeB.
The men were arrested and fined
$50 and cost each, a total of $108.

Jr., A Mombor.
The Davidson county Club of the
University of North 1 Carolina met
Friday night in the Y. M. C. A. at
Chapel Hill for the first time this
fall. The club suffered a loss of
five men from last year's roll but
by persistent work on the part of its
members during the summer, the
former number waslustained, there
being five new men initiated Fri
day night. The five were: Messrs.
Partley and Owen of Yadkin Col
lege, Shoaf of Lexington, Griffith of
Thomasville, and Feezor of Denton.
All these new men are freshmen in
the University and that bespeaks a
good representation from Davidson
county for several years. The club
would like to get in touch with the
Alumni Association which is being
organized in the county. The o Ul
cere for the coming year are: S. E.
Leonard president, H. C. Craver
vice-president, and H. R. Totten
secretary and treasurer.

K publicans, stating that the Re
publicans pose as the laboring
mrn's friends, when they have op-
tcld the gate to labor from all parts
of the world. Answering the Re-
licans' argument onthe"Cleve-
panic," the speaker said the
on mills, in Morehead's home

tion in the Republican party, he
ited Dolliver and Hughes and
pointed out scandal after scandal.
Leaving national issues, the
speaker plunged into state matters.
He said Marion Butler, the leader
ofjthe Repuklican party in North
Carolina, has betrayed every party
awl person in North Carolina. He
referred to the statements that
Julge Adams and Editor Smith
made against Butler.

the speaker, "means liquor now, in

him to the Legislature.

irreverence. When King Uzziah
forced his way into the temple, that
he might offer incense in worship,
he usurped the place of the priests.
It was a holy work for which ne was
not flitted. In this "he trespassed
against Jehovah his God." (II.
Chron. 20:21). The priests protest
ed against his unseemly act and
Jehovah smote him with leprosy.
In a visible way Jehovah said.
"Treat my house, my worship, in a
fitting, a reverent manner."
In Exodus 3:(i. Moses drew near
the burning bush. It was not the
ordinary growth of the desert, but
visible representation of God's
will -it had in it a revelation from
God. It was therefore entitled to a
reverent approach. In entering a
dwelling Moses would naturally lay
aside his sandals, how much more
in drawing near to a busn tnat
spoke of and for God. There was a
esson in reverence.
In Isaiah (5:1.1, Isaiah has a riion
of God. The angels standing be
fore Jehovah cover their faces and
their feet Jehovah is infinite and
holy they are creatures. Angels
may not have literal wings, but the
teaching is expressive of humility;
a sense of unworthinesa, a profound
reverence fills them.
Several years ago, the Chinese
rofessor of the Chinese language
n Harvard University attended a
house of worship. He noted the
differing attitudes during prayer.
Some looked around, sat upright,
others bowed the head. He said:
'f suppose those who bowed the
lead were spiritually-minded and
the others were not." If it may not
be afliimed that every one reverent
in pofeture during worship is a god

He is God. "Ascribe unto God the
irlory due unto Hisname." ( I. Chron.
11:29). The great crime of which
Robert G. Ingersoll was guilty was
that he destroyed, in the hearts of
thousands, the spirit of reverence.
A man may doubt the existence of
God and discuss his doubts in a
serious way. Men have done so
and did not disturb Jhe spirit of
reverence. But in Ingersoll' s case
everything the highest and loftiest
thoughts that have ever come into
men's minds were made the sub
jects of the most frivolous treat
ment. Everything, to him, was a
great joke. He did irreparable mis
chief to thousands of young men
who came under the spell of his eloquence.-

The light use of the name of God,
profanity, the employment of Scrip
ture passages to point a witticism
these injure a man's moral nature.
In our Sunday Schools the outward

turn, influence the inner life. Men
in public life should be careful to
throw their influence on the aide of
the reverent treatment of - sacred

Congressman R. N. Page Heard
by a Large Crowd.
Hon. R. N. Page, Congressman
from this, the Seventh Congres
sional District, was heard in the
Armory Tuesday night by his con
stituents, and the ovation with
which he was greeted showed the
popularity of the man. Mr. Page
is very popular with Thomasville
people. Our people love and honor
him and he always has a full house
when he speaks here.
Mr. Page began his speech by
saying that he came with no hard
feelings toward anyone; he stated
that he had nothing harsh to say
to his Republican friends, but on
the contrary was here with a mes
sage of sympathy for them.
He stated that American politics
is a question for serious thought
and that it is the duty of every
voter to study the issues of the day
and to send men to Congress who
will represent the interest of the
people. He criticised the Republi
can administration for their enor
mous and unjust taxation, showing
that the appropriations for which
these taxes are levied have grown
out of all reason. He quoted Aid
rich as saying $300,000,OCO is wasted
every year. He stated that the
policy of the Republican party is at
variance with eveiy book that has
been written on political economy.
He referred to the failure of the Re
publicans to revise- the tariff ac
cording to their promise to the peo
ple, stating that it has been revised
in the interest of the classes and not
the masses.
Mr. Page made a good speech and
those who heard him were bene
fitted. Beautiful Tribute to General Armfleld by Editor
Smith of The Greensboro News.
That the heart of every North Car
olinian was saddened when it be
came known that General Armfield
bad passed from the ranks of the
living we take to be a fact But to

than that-it is a personal grief.
He was yet in his youth, surrounded

without number essentially the

The editor of this paper served
with him during the Spanish-American
war, served on his personal staff,
was one of his official family. It is
a well known fact that men very
quickly take each other's measure
when serving together under the
colors -the good points soon ac
knowledged, and the bad qualities
becoming quickly apparent.
It is as "colonel" that he is en
shrined in the hearts of the men who
followed him through the streets of
Havana the men of the old First
North Carolina Volunteer Infantry
the men who believe in the
silent man that rode at the head
of the column the man whose
slightest wish was to them a com
mand. And so we learned to know
and to value him, and to be proud
of him and to love him.
He had no favorites, he was just
to all. If he punished, and he
sometimes did, he was as quick to
pardon. A strict disciplinarian,
mt never a martinet If he
exacted hard service, it may also
be said that he never spared him
self. A soldier himself, he was
ever the soldier's friend. Proud of
his rank, jealous of all of the
traditions and customs of the
service, he was, nevertheless,
broad minded and liberal in his
views.
And today.
as we write, the
"Chief " lies in a
darkened room,
pulseless and still. It's hard to
believe it true hard believe
that we shall no more hear his voice
or see the tall, spare form that
never failed to waken the soldier' s
enthusiasm. On the night of the
12th of October, almost at the hour
of "Taps," the Commanding
Officer of the soul of General
Joseph Franklin Armfield, abjunt-ant-general
of North Carolina's
national guard and the soldier
spirit, never faltering, answered,
"Here!",

final resting place where has led

look wet, you will know that it is
