. - 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."

GASTON.
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."

man of her acquaintance.

'LET THE PEOPLE ROLE."
APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS
For Bryan and Kern Campaign Fund
from the Democratic National
Committee.
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.
Sincerely,
NORMAN E. MACK, Chairman
Democratic National Committee.
M. C. WETMORE, Chairman
National Finance Committee.

YORKVILLE
MONUMENT WORKS.
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.
