•TUESDAYS’ SPEAKING.
Last Tuesday was the day for j
the citizens of McCrory to con
gregate at Wherry’s hall to hear
the various candidates express 1
their opinions as to why they
should be elected to the various
offices to which they aspired and
why their opponents should not
be. At the appointed time quite
a number of the citizens arrived
to hear what the candidates had
to say.
If we should attempt to give a
brief summary or synopsis of
the speeches of each and every
candidate it would necessitate
the enlargement of the News
to a very decided extent; there
fore, in view of the very nature
of things and after first offering
these few supplemented words
of explanation in the manner of
an apology to those who might
feel slighted otherwise, we will
only endeavor to mention the
main features of the days pro
gram.
At 1:30 Ex-Governor James P.

1 he LeaClnz Gr^ceryiran-.
Clarke made an excellent speech
to the under between rounds of
applause. So groat a following
did Clarke have in the crowd i
that if there were any Jones
few and far between, and exceed-1
ingly quiet. Clarke didn’t make j
many new votes due to the fact!
that he had the entire audience;
on his side before he spoke.;
About the same issues hereto- j
fore discussed and with which
all are familiar were brought be
fore the people and heartily re
ceived. Watcn our preditcion,
Woodruff is a “sure thing” for
Clarke.
The next important feature
was the candidates for sheriff.
This race has caused quite a lit
tle interest and apprehension
upon the part of a great number
of people from the fact that all
three candidates are men of
nerve and iron. Be it said to
their honor these gentlemen will,
so present indications point, con
duct a very orderly campaign.
John Kittreli was the first to ad
dress the people. He thanked
the people for having once hon
ored him with their support,
he had tried his best to fill the
office efficiently and economical
ly, and if the people appreciated
Ins efforts he desired a second
term. Marshal Patterson, the
next speaker arose amid great
cheers and in a short, pointed
speech told the people why he
should be the next sheriff. He
was applauded much during
his entire address showing that
he was “it” to a very decided de
gree on this occasion. Ed. S.
CarILee the last speaker, in a
forceful manner told the voters
of his capability to serve the en
tire county and thanked them
for their past support. He was
also well received and seemed to
have a good following in the
crowd.
lne last but nottne least guns,
as Chairman Marshal Patterson
designated them, was the repre
sentative candidates. Ourbroth
er E. C. Kramer made the first
speech and in a most forceful,
masterly and eloquent manner
spoke to the people amid great
demonstration of approval and
repeated applause from the en
tire audience throughout the en
tire discourse. The very few
people who seemed to be preju
diced against our brother looked
very sick when he so gracefully
and eloquently addressed. It
was heard from all sides that
Kramer sure did surprise me,
that he undoudtedhj owght and
will be the next Representative.
Everyone present had to admit
that his address showed him to
be about as far ahead of his oppo
nents as electric lights are ahead
of the old-time candle. Mr. Pen
rose the next speaker did not re
ceive much attention and early
in his address the greater por
tion of audience left the hall.
John Eldridge the last speaker,
spoke under some disadvantage.
The crowd had thinned down ex
tensively and the listeners were
worn out. The one feature of
John’s speech that he seemed to
think had a great deal of weight
to it was that there is a paper
in Augusta called the Free Press
of which Gus. W. Kramer is edit
or and which paper accepts mon
ey for running an add for the
Augusta Land& Investmentcom
pany which company handles
scrip, bonds, etc. Now Johnny,
we would like to know what any
proposition of this nature has to
do with this race unless you are
trying to use it to prejudice the
minds of the people? Johnny, do
you think the people so ignorant

tliat they are looking for such
school-boy talk? You say the
Free Press is owned, controlled
and operated by the Augusta
ring. 'Tis true they as yet own
the controlling interest of the
plant but absolutely no one, has
anything to say of the writings,
adds, etc., which appear therein
except the editor, Gus W. Kra
mer, and never will have so long
as we are connected with it. We
would like to say more but have
n’t space in this issue. Of course,
it is understood that you are
trying to say something We,
are one of a great many who be
lieve you short anyway, Johnny.

TIP EXTRA NO 1
Our regular correspondent in
his last, made reference to one
holding a second grade certifi
cate, as, “sitting around our
country store and worring the
proprietor ai most to death, while
the man witli the third grade!
(which is himself) has a good po- j
sition and “brains”to pash it:
along.” Brains indeed! Brains! |
Lets see. Do brains and 60 per
cent certificates go togather?!
Has any one ever accused our I
correspondent of having“brains”
before? No! a thousand times i
no! ’Tis true he taught, or at-1
tempt to teach,a short while ini
our winter school, and when the j
school lmd dwindled down on ac-!
count of bad weather to about 7
or eight pupils and two teachers,
this man of “brain” still sat there
and continued to draw on the
Treasurerfor, certainly, not value
received, until the directors stop
ped his wage’s, then he quit.
Surely, this is worthy of a
“brainy”man. Now about the
second grade. ’Tis but a simple
story, Two boys, this third and
second grade, were competitors

for the assistantship of our win
ter school. The third grade won.
It then became necessary for him
to stand an examination. Fearing
that he might fail, and thereby
loose pay for nearly a month of
his officient work, he sent his
venerable father (who is a man of
much respectability) to the second
grade boy praying that he (the
second grade; go with his boy .
and pilot him through the trying
ordeals of a private examination.
After carrying me, almost bodi
ly, a distance of one and one-half
miles, in the dead of the night, to
his own home, and that in the op
posite direction from which we
must go to catch a train, he as
sured himself a number of times
that his boy had some one to look
after him on the morrow, and
|
then lay down to sleep the sleep of j
the just. Now the boy, this strip
ling ol a youth, whose own father,
the one that should know him
best, and couid not trust him
alone in the gieat city of Cotton j
Plant, for fear of his getting lost, j
has come out boldly, above Ins ;
Man-de-plume, and called him
self a “brainy man.” I predict a i
great future for tins "brainy j
man,’’almost as great an one as i
i do for the city ol Cotton Plant, j

A GEORGIA BOY ON SPRING.
Spring is the most pleasantest
season of the year, ’eept Christ
mas an’ fo’th of July. It is then
that Ma tells Pa to take down
the stovepipe, and the stovepipe
breaks in two or three pieces,and
the sut falls on Pa’s head an’runs
down his neck. Pa says dam
the stovepipe, an’Ma stops her
ears and says he wili never get to
heaven if he don’t keep his Mouth
shut. In the springtime Pa takes
me fishing an’ says the best way
to carry bait is in a jug,as the
bait might wriggle out of a can.
Then he tells me to Fish while he
keeps the flies off the Jug, an’
when evenin’ comes an’ it’s time
to go Home, Pa says lie’s so tired
he wish I’d run home an’ tell the
hired man bo fetch the wheelbar
row after him. An’ when he gits*
Home he tells Ma that he reckons
la’s boss of that house; an’ Ma
takes him by the Ear an’ leads
him to the Bed. Yes Spring is
the most pleasantest season of
tiie year.—Atlanta Constitution.
A Printer Greatly Surpri ,cd.
“I never was so much surpris
ed in iny life, as I was with the
results of using Chamberlain’s
Fain Bairn,” says Henry T.
Crook, pressman of the Ashvilie
(N. C.) Gazette. ”1 contracted a
severe case of rheumatism early
last winter by getting my feet
wet. 1 tried several things for
it without benefit. One clay while
looking over the Gazctie, I notic
ed that Pain Balm was positively
guaranteed to cure rheumatism,
so bought a bottle of it and be
fore using two thirds of it my
rheumatism had taken its Sight
and I have not had a rheumatic
pain since. Sold by Dr. Neal of
IvlcCrory and A. S. Thompson of
