XHE SITI’.Vl ION IN NOKTII CAKOI.IN.A The cause of North Carolina in her struggle for good government is the cause of democracy and of Anglo Saxon civilization and should appeal to the best minds and the truest hearts all over this favored land. The republicans will exhaust every known resource in combating tbo adoption of the constitutional amendment, because they know that with its adoption the reign of the scalawag and political adventurer will cease and the reign of decency and order will he inaugurated. The republican party of North Carolina, besides the negroes, is largely made up of men who cannot flourish except in an atmosphere of fraud, ignorance and prejudice and amid the debris of all that makes a country great and a people prosper ous and happy. They are in politics for plunder, and they would see society wrecked, manhood degraded, woman defamed, patriotism quench ed and the whole social, moral and political fabric of the country rent into fragments rat la. r than he de spoiled of their booty. In many parts of the State they are resorting to violence and intimi dation. '1 lie registrars at Winston have been shot ; the chairman oi the democratic executive committee of Pitt county has been assaulted; ami in many other parts of the State ll*o regularly constituted officials have been cursed and bullied and ob structed in ir duties hi ute violence. Hut that von't work. J'lie best blood of the old North State is rising and her noble sons are rallying to her rescue. Traitors and renegades have been warned that they are upproaeh- the danger line. That line once crossed there will be an outburst of popular indignation that will bring swift retribution upon all who have been plotting the ruin of the grand old State. The proposed, amendment will not disfranchise u single white man in the State and those who oppose it are enemies to all progress and traitors to their race and country. Let every true son of the State stand by her in tliis her liour of trial. We believe there is virtue enough left within her bor ders to save her in this emergency. The sons of of I’endar, of Scales, of Vance and of Hill, will not stand idly by and see their state handed over to barbarism and sunk Into deg radation. ? NOT ICS AND COMMENTS. We invite special attention to the official call made in another culumn to the veterans of the county. We hope to see them every one at Lime stone on the 11 tji of August. Gen. Walker actuated only by his love for “the lost cause” is giving ills time, money, and talents to the work of keeping alive the memories of a glorious past and of drawing together in closer sympathy the buttered old heroes ,who nearly forty years ago fought the world in arms and filled it with their fame. The veteran hosts iiave sadly wasted since the grand old days of battle; the serried ranks have been thinned until scarcely a skirmish line is left and even that is soon to vanish from the land of the living. Hut principles never die and the principles for which the Con federate sol lier fought are still d. ur to every true patriot’s heart, are still honored by every brave and generous man arid loved and cher ished in the bosoms of pure and de voted women. Let the skirmish line remaining “rally on the center” and present one time more a solid front not this time to charging columns of men, but to tno march of years, the assaults of time. Dr. Lodge representing the trtn tees of Limestone College has kindly tendered the beautiful college audi torium for the speaking and the campus and spring grove for rest and recreation. Come and hear our gal lant Gen. Walker, bring your wives and sons and daughters, and let them hear again the thrilling story of the past, while you feel again the blood tingle in your veins and your hearts bound once more with the spirit of youtli. There has never before been a time since the world began when so many moyemonts involving vast conse- (juences wore on foot, or in process of evolution, .to at present. It seems to boa time foi doing tilings on a big scale. Ibis grout republic, whose creed from its birth has been to avoid “entangling alliances,” bus reached out into the Atlantic and scooped in Cuba and l’o:to Itico, out into the I'acilic and encompassed the Philippines, and >s ilow becoming involved in the greatest tangle of all time on the other side of the earth. All the most powerful nations of the old world are rushing into the tangle, and no one can now predict what will be the state of civilization and what nations will be supremo when the unraveling process shall have been completed. China is one-third of the world in population, but China will not long be in the way of the powers that are mustering against her. China will ho disposed of, but after that event, the untangling process will begin and the question among the nations will be how to dis pose of each other. We should not be surprised to see England and the I nited States arrayed before twelve months against Russia, Germany and France, and the whole business world thrown into confusion. In sucli a war as that this country would be subjected to a strain it has never felt before, not even in the sixties. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The news from China is still vague and conflicting. One day it is an nounced that the foreigners in Pekin are a! 1 killed, and the next day the report is contradicted. At this dis tance we cannot understand how it is that it is so diilieult to get reliable news from Pekin, if we understand tno topography Tien Isin, the head- quartern of the allied armies, is only about sixty miles from Pekin, and yei no reliable news lias been ob tained from ■ ho hitter city in nearly a month. During the war in this country lh« New York papers were received regularly in Richmond on liii day after publication and Gen. Lee was informed usually before- ha..d of every movement made by the invading army. The allied forces in China need about a half dozen Con federate scouts to lei them know what is going on. It would be high old fun for such fellows as Hill Par ity and Dick howls to spend a few nights in Pekin circulating in a con vivial sort of way among the Chinese troops, and after fully informing themselves of how the land lay, make a run for Tien Tsin, knock over a few Hoxers on the way, and turn up at army headquarters with heads full of information, and haversacks full of fried puppies and other Chinese delicacies. Some of us don’t believe that they know anything about war in these days anyway. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦- It will be remembered that our correspondent “J. L. S.” has urged that steps be taken to invite the S. C. Division U. C. V. to hold their next annual re-union in Gaffney. Personally we should be glad of au thority to extend such an invitation to the Division. Hut it would be ex ceedingly unwise to invite the re union without full assurance from the town authorities that it would be amply provided for. To entertain the meeting would be too great a task for private hospitality, and in view of the present depleted condi tion of the town treasury it would probably be unwise to appropriate money for such a purpose. We do not however, presume to dictate to the towd authorities. If they should authorizo us to invite the re-union, we should do it with a will, It is sometimes wise from a financial point of view for a town to spend money on such occasions, even when its treasury is empty. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The.recent rains have been partial and some localities are dry. This section has had plenty and crops are doing all tii.-y can. The farmers are having to work at least three weeks later than usual, and this is a great hardship both on man and beast. \\ itii a few more good seasons, how ever, ibis lat' work will bring abun dant returns. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ In the Educational Association re cently hold in Charleston some prominent teachers urged that poli ties be eliminated from the schools. That can be done only when schools are eliminated from politics. Our school system is the child of politics, and we cannot divorce parent and child. clr I'ooli'fl i'll4* Surgon*.

Voiiiik lardy ItitlKliiK Money tor Imlla T.iiiiino Su(Terer»—Other Items. (Correspondence of The Hedger.) Etta Junk, July 11.—We take off our hat to Miss Hurali I’acolet Rice, the little daughter of our esteemed friend, S. M. Rice, Jr., of Colon, and commend her for raising a con tribution of ijsf. 00 last week for the India famine sufferers. If every little girl would make the same effort there is no telling what would bo ac complished. Go up head, Miss 1’ac- olet. Mr. Meek I’arker, our accommoda ting and gentlemanly mail earner, was not particular, it seemed, so long as the sun shone hot, but just as soon as the weather moderated he began riding in a top buggy. What’s up? Farm hands have been very scarce and hard to get this year and many of those on the market are worthless. Our people are independent. Mr. Jas. T. Moorehead. one of our oldest and best citizens has, we understand, made a full hand this year rather than employ such labor as he could get. Mr. Moore has set a noble ex ample, which if his fellow farmers will follow, • ill rid the country of trifling laborers. If we will just romemoer how much gospel seed has been wasted on our own hearts it will make us more charitable to others. Renjamin Franklin said: “If you want to lay up your fortune where it will do your children the most good put it in their heads. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Blstes have had a very sick baby this week. Dr. S. G. Surratt was called to see it and the little fellow is getting better. We had our first peach pie this week and it reminded us of the days of yore. Our fruit is just beginning to ripen. It is about two weeks later than heretofore. What has become of the Hattie- ground park? We must not lose sight of it simply because this is election year and all the world seems to IK) getting ready for war. It is the work of Cherokee county and there can be no axe grinding in push ing our claims. The people wish to see the park established and too much has been done for us to give it up. What the world remembers is not Benedict Arnold’s heroic march through Maine to Canada, nor his matchless and unselfish bravery at Saratoga, but rather his treachery. The good deeds of our great men are too soon forgotten. “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,” is a saying you can never make a henpecked husband believe, particularly if he has chil dren of his own. Recently Dr. T. S. R. Ward, of Hickory Grove, has made several pro fessional visits to this side of the river. A good physician located in the Wilkinsville neighborhood would get a good practice. Enthusiasm is the genius of sin cerity, and truth can accomplish no victory without it. Farmers are complaining that their cotton is not fruiting as it ought to. The stalk is largo enough but it lias very few squares on it. Crows are playing havoc with the watermelon patches. • We are glad to learn that the inju ries Mrs. William Hyars received from her fall are not considered se rious, and that she is now getting along very well. Mrs. John A. M. Estes has been quite unwell for several days. Dr. Ward bas been attending her. Sometime last spring the Mercer correspondent gave an account of an eclipse of the sun she saw several years ago, in which the shadow of the leaves became crescent shaped, gradually becoming circular as the eclipse approached totality, and fi nally passed off in inverted crescents. This was about as we understood her. The correspondent asked some one to explain the phenomenon but, so far as we have been able to learn, no one has undertaken it. We do not propose to say that our explana tion will meet the approval of those who ought to understand it much better than we do. However, if we can be the means of drawing out an explanation wo will be amply re warded for exposing our ignorance. The sun sends out a volume of light in every direction which is pre sumed to reach the utmost limits of infinite space. This volume of light is made up of innumerable millions of quintillions oi rays which diverge in every direction, following directly upon every planet within light’s do main. In the time of a solar eclipse the moon passes from west to east over the sun’s disk, thus fora time obstructing its rays and giving it a crescent shape. At last the moon reaches the sun’s center when a cir cular light falls from that orb upon the earth giving its light in ring- shaped figures, and finally as the moon passes off the sun reassumes its creseent shape on the other side which gradually .increases until that orb attains its normal shape in the heavens and the shadows resume theirs on the ground. It is a logical conclusion that shadow is a vacuum of arrested light, and this helps unfold this mystery. We hope our effort will form u start from which the fair author will get a correct answer to her question. Hut in this, as in all similar eases, we feel like quoting fhe poet IVulmist: ‘ Sueli knowledge K for me too .strange, •lls Ids'll iioyond my utmost range." The noblest work of a soul is to raise itself and others to a higher plane. J. l, s.

Asuuky, .l^ily 11.—The death angel has again come into our midst, claim ing as his reward the loving lady, the wife of Thos. J. Humes. Mrs. Humes departed this life at her home June, loth. She had been ill with dysen tery three weeks and despite all that skilled physicians and friends could do, she was called to her Maker. Mrs. Hames was a consistent mem ber of the Baptist church. The de ceased leaves a husband, six chil dren and a largo circle of Irionds and relatives to mourn her passing away. She was buried at the Asbury cemetery on the 10th, in the presence of a large circle of sorrowing relatives and friends. May they in their sad hour of trouble and sorrow look to Jesus, from whom all our help must come, and may her precious memories still linger within the home circle. The farmers are troubled with “general green” yet, and are likely to remain that way. The corn crop is looking very gloomy. Some have planted their bottom lands over. Perhaps it will make corn if we have a lute full. Cotton is nothing to brag on in our neighborhood. It is very dry in this section. The Asbury High School will open July 15th, with Mr. Kendre Little john at its head. Mr. Littlejohn has been a student of Wofford College for the past three years. The Asbury Sunday school is pro gressing nicely. The protracted meeting will begin at Asbury on the fourth Sunday in this month. I don’t know who Mr. Nettles will get to assist him in this work. Mr. Thomas Mabry is visiting in Arkansas for the benefit of his health. The health of our community is very good at present. Some of the farmers have thrown some of their corn out; say they cannot work it and their cotton too. Some have just finished thinning cot ton. Some say that flour will be cheaper this year. The wheat crop is almost a failure in some of the wheat coun tries. What we raise here doesn’t Iiave anything to do with the price. II. F. The It. Y. 1*. U. in Clm-lmmtl. In the B. Y. P. U. Convention now in session in Cincinnati, Ohio, Rev. B. P. Robertson is speaker for the South Carolina delegation and Miss Mary Brown the standard bearer. The following is taken from the Cin cinnati Enquirer of Saturday, July 14th; “A number of the young ladies were extremely pretty, notably the stately brunette who boro South Carolina’s banner. The transporta tion leader from the Palmetto State iiad neglected to bring his banner, and her representative, who should have been graced with a crown of laurel for her beauty, carried a small American flag instead. As she came forward the convention involuntarily rose to cheer her singular beauty, and in reply she waved the stars and stripes round and round, while the State speaker was answering the roster. A pretty girl from South Carolina waving the on] flag in u con vention heid on Yankee soil and composed largely of northern people, was the most striking scene of the convention. The South Carolinians retired amid a storm of applause, the young lady blushing highly at the unmis takable tribute she had received.” A Correction.
