tumorous department. . - Who He Was. Irvin Cobb tells a story of a little wiry negro who went into a resort in Natchez, displayed a large roll of bills and bought a drink. As he was paying for it another negro came in. very large and very black. He looked at the little man and said: '"Nigger, whar you git all dat money?" "Bahtender," said the little negro, by way of reply, "I think I shall tek a bottle of dat-ah stuff. 'Pears quite satisfyin' to me." '"Nigger," roared the big one, "whar you git dat money .' i asi you. i se u? town bully. I is. I follows bullyin' foh a trade. Whar you git It?" The little negro boy began stuffing1 the money back into his pockets. "Seems to me," he mused, "I ain't got 'nuff pockets to hold all mah wealth." The big negro jumped at the little one. "You hear what I said?" he demanded. "I'se de bully an' I wanter know whar you git all dat money." Quick as a flash, the little negro uppercut the big one, catching him on the point of the jaw and knocking him down. In a moment the big negro revived enough to look up from the floor and ask, humbly: "Nigger, who is you, anyhow?" "Why." replied the litle one, blowing his knuckles, "I'se th' pusson you thought you wuz when you come In."? Saturday Evening Post. Deposited In Advance.?A young Scotch farmer, who could not read, came into a small country city directly after an "anti-spitting," ordinance had come into effect, and, as fate would have it, was walking directly toward the single policeman which the place boasted when the period of release for a copious amount of tobacco juice became due. The profuse squirt lighted with a splash directly in the middle of the sidewalk, and the Scot was subsequently taken in charge by the copper and hustled before the police magistrate. tno tnro r\f hio nffpnPP I he warmly protested ignorance of the law, but was Informed that this did not shield him. At the magistrate's advice he pleaded guilty and was fined $5 and costs. This totalled $7.50. With painful dignity the young kiltie drew forth a wallet and extracted therefrom a $10 bill, which he placed upon the desk and turned to leave the place. "Wait a moment, my friend," called the officer. "Here is your change." "Nae, mon, I winna tak' it," coolly replied the Scotchman. "I mae wiss to blaw my nase before I lea'e toun."? Judge. Expected Pacification.?Mrs. Henry Farman, the wife of the noted aeronaut, said in an interview in New York: "What I particularly l.ke about you Americans is your naivete. This naivete often makes selfish traits seem quite charming. For instance"I lunched the other day with a Brooklyn woman. After luncheon, as we took our coffee in tne drawing room, my hostess's son, a little lad in white, came in. "He talked to me politely for a while, then he crossed the room to his mother. " 'Ma,' he said in his little hard, nasal voice, 'did you buy Harold a birthday present when you were out this morning?" " a es, dear,' said his mother. " 'And, ma,' he went on, 'what did you buy to pacify me 'cause it ain't my birthday?'"?Washington Star. Why Bctt In??Dr. John Lovejoy Elliott, head worker of Hudson Cuild Settlement in New York, was lecturing some boys from the water front on the doings of Nero. He gave a vivid picture of the cruelty of the emperor and thought that he must have fixed the idea of non-ethical deeds in the minds of his hearers. Then he began questions. "Boys," said the teacher, "What do you think of Nero?" There was no reply and the class moved around uneasily. "Well, O'Brien, what do you think of Nero? Would you say he was a good man? Would you like to know him?" No answer, and O'Brien looked longingly at the door. "Well, wasn't Nero a bad man?" "He never done nothin' to me," was the unexpected response, reflecting the Tammany policy of not butting in.? Success. The Phantom Cat.?"Didn't I tell ye to feed that cat a pound of meat every day until ye had her fat?" demanded an Irish shopkeeper, nodding toward a sickly, emaciated cat that was slinking through the store. "Ye did thot," replied his assistant, "an' I've just been after feedin' her a pound of meat this very minute." "Faith an' I don't believe ye. Bring me the scales." The poor cat was lifted into the scales. They balanced at exactly one pound. "That's right," admitted the boss, scratching his head. "That's yer pound of meat, all right. But"?suddenly looking up?"where the divil is the cat?"?Everybody's. Not Lokd Roberts.?The grand review of 10,000 members of the Boys' Brigade recently held in Glasgow recalls an amusing story of a similar event which took place in the same city a few years ago. Lord Roberts had promised to inspect the brigade battalions, but at the last moment was prevented by illness. A local officer was secured to fill his place, and in selling tickets for the inspection it was thought only fair to let purchasers know that the distinguished field marshal would not be present. One small brigade boy came up and asked for two tickets for his father and mother. The clerk said. "Do your father and mother know that Lord Roberts is not to be present?" To which the boy replied, with a look of self-confidence. "It's no Lord Roberts they're comin' to see? it's me."?Tit-Bits. Stick to His answer.?An old sea captain was visiting a certain exhibition, and was greatly interested in the mechanical section, where a fine array of steam whistles was on show. "How far can that one be heard?" he asked, pointing to a huge buzzer. The young man in attendance was only a deputy, but he promptly replied: "Sixteen miles." "Sixteen miles?" said the old salt, incredulously. "When I say sixteen miles," elaborated the youth. "I mean eight miles this way and eight miles that way." Jttiscrlliuicous -Briulinfl.

Gastonia Gazette, October 9: The occupants of Mr. John Thomas's resi, dence in the country had a good scare the other morning, when the roof was discovered to be on fire around the kitchen chimney. The fire was extinguished however, without doing any great damage At 8.30 o'clock last night Mr. Edgar Bradley and Mrs. Eva Gamble were married in the parlors of Mrs. O. W. Davis' home on East Main avenue, the ceremony being performed by Rev. J. C. Harmon, pastor of West End and Franklin Avenue Methodist churches. The groom is a son of Rev. F. W. Bradley of this place, and the bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan M. Lindsay of Cliffside. The happy couple will make their home in Gastonia At the regular monthly meeting of the county school board held at Dallas Monday, outside of routine work the only action of importance taken was the choice of a successor to Mr. W. C. Thompson of Stanley, who succeeded Mr. R. K. Davenport on the board of county commissioners. Mr. E. L. Pegram, Jr., of Stanley, was chosen to fill the vacancy The regular semi-annual meeting of the Commercial club was held in the club rooms Tuesday night at 8.30 o'clock. The following were elected members of the board of governors to serve for one year: R. M. Johnston, A. M. Dixon, J. Lee Robinson, L. F. Groves, R. E. Currence. A motion was carried to the effect that the club take steps at once toward tendering a reception to Congresman Webb of Shelby, to show the club's .appreciation of his successful efforts to secure an appropriation for a public building for Gastonia. Other matters were discussed, but no action was taken on them Despite the fact that threatening weather kc-pt majiy Democrats at home last night who would have otherwise have been out, Bradley hall at the Loray was comfortably filled with an enthusiastic audience to hear our congressman, Hon, E. Y. Webb of Shelby. He was introduced by Mayor Armstrong and delivered, what those who heard him, say was one of the strongest and most convincing pleas for Democracy which he has yet made. There was no lack of enthusiasm on the part of the audience and it Is al together probable that quite a number of new votes were added to the people's cause. Mr. Webb was in splendid form and held the attention of his hearers throughout. CONVICT LABOR. One of the Problems With Which Every State Must Contend. "No one state problem is receiving more general consideration," remarked W. B. Hall of Richmond, Va., to a New York Telegram reporter, "than the employment of convicts. "This is particularly true in the southern states, where public sentiment against the leasing system has frequently of late been made a political issue. The plan of selling the labor of imprisoned men to corporations and private contractors has resulted in so many abuses and frequently in such scandal that it will only be a matter of time until all of the states have abolished the system. Nor does there seem lo De very mucn question jus to me best means of employing the convicts. That reforms were not made many years ago is due largely to the unwillingness of men who have profited at the expense of their state's good name to relinquish their long enjoyed special privileges. As a rule, the corporations and others who employ contract labor obtain better service at a smaller price than would be possible in a free market. Moreover, there is no danger of strikes and they are able to figure for at least one year in advance exactly what the cost of labor will be. "Oklahoma is planning to use its convicts in a manner somewhat similar to that proposed for Georgia, although under state supervision. According to advices from the capital of the new state, the governor has mapped out an extensive road-building programme that would provide the commonwealth with two great public highways, one from east to west and the other from north to south, across the state. From these, numerous tributary roads are to run. All of this extensive road building is to be done by convicts." DOUBTS THE PLAGUE. San Francisco Doctor Views Statistics of Disease Distrustfully. "I do not place much reliance in those alleged statistics regarding the bubonic plague that recently have been printed in American papers," said Dr. Thomas I. Janes of San Francisco, to a reporter for the Washington Post. "They credited sixty or seventy people with having died of the plague in San Francisco in 1907. As a matter of fact, there has always been a division of opinion among physicians in San Francisco as to whether we ever really have had a case of the plague in that city. Some physicians have insisted that there were cases of the disease. Others have doubted it. You may remember that six years ago Dr. Shrady, o? ovrvonf fi*nm Vou' Vnrlr pama mit (XII CAJJt-l V 11 VIM 11 v m x VI II, VM?*V WM? to San Francisco to investigate the alleged cases of plague. After making a thorough study of the cases, Dr. Shrady made the declaration that there were plenty of just such plague cases in New York. "Personally, I take little stock in the reports of cases of the plague in our city. I never have had a case, and I have a pretty good practice. You can call up a score of physicians in the city without finding one who ever has seen a case of the plague. "Since the earthquake, San Francisco has been the healthiest city to be found anywhere. It is remarkable, in view of the population, how little illness there is. The city is building up with great strides, and is destined to make the finest in the country. Finer than Washington? Yes, finer, even than Washington. Great, substantial business edifices are going up in the heart of the city." ?* !>' There never was a pretty girl so stupid that she couldn't fool the- cleverest man of her acquaintance.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer: Dear Sir: There are no secrets in this Campaign. Strictly practicing what he preaches, Mr. Bryan would not win victory with tainted money paying the election expenses. Not a dollar is to be accepted which requires any prvrciuici eapiess ui implied, other than for HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERNMENT. Mr. Bryan will enter the White House absolutely free from entangling alliances, free to serve all classes of honest citizens alike, or he will not enter it at all. . Hence the course is plain. The campaign of Bryan and Kern must be conducted by trie people. The people must pay the necessary campaign expenses if they want public servants who will serve their interests. Special interests and favored classes, having secured "SWOLLEN FORTUNES" by purchasing favors in the past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand ready to give MILLIONS MORE FOR CONTINUED FAVORS. But that class never gives a dollar unless it buys a pledge. Mr. Bryan says, from March 4th, 1909, "LET THE PEOPLE RULE." This can come only if the people pay their own bills, and control their own elections. "BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS BEARING GIFTS." That policy of the favored few buying a mortgage on the Government meant that the candidate for President knew a few people only in an entire State. Bryan says, "We will take the cause of PEOPLE'S RULE home to the people in every county." You can serve the grand cause of popular government tnrough the columns of your paper. It reaches the fireside of the patriot who loves his country for his country's GOOD; as distinguished from the greedy possessor of swollen fortunes who loves nis country only for his country's GOODS. Please carry this letter in Bold Type at the masthead of your paper, asking every one who favors Government by the people to pay you, at once, as many dollars as he can spare to aid the Campaign for BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLE'S RULE. You forward these gifts of honest hearts and homes every week to the treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, with the name of each contributor and amounts given. The Treasurer will forward you a certificate like the copy enclosed for each one, asking you to deliver these certificates. Once more, you should be a part of the Great Organization bearing the Lamp of Light to every nook ana corner of Free America. Our Country is for the People; its Government must be by the People.

Remember the Dead Every grave in York county should be appropriately marked with a Tombstone or Monument. To do this is not only a mark of respect and esteem to one's departed relatives, but it is desirable and proper to place an enduring record in stone over all graves. If you have loved ones who have passed to the great beyond and are considering the idea of a suitable marker for their graves, we will appreciate a call from you that we may have an opportunity of showing you designs of Head Stones and Monuments and quoting you prices.
