Now, Who is Right
In the last issue of the Bethel
appeared an article
porting to come from the Bethel
Prohibitionists of two years ago.
in which the Reflector la
en to task and complaint is made
us. At first we intended
making no comment upon the
article whatever. as a care
reading of it shows some in-
think from our recollection of it,
fully one-third longer than the
one published in the Herald.
Still Mr. Whitfield claims it as
the same, and this we declare to
be inaccurate. So much by way
of reply to the charge that we re-
fused to publish, Is it ex-
fair in Mr. Whitfield to
offer an article
for publication and after ob-
is made to certain
necessary portions of it to go off,
remove them and then send the
article with the
features nearly or quite
all stricken out to another paper
and therein charge that we had
refused to publish it because we
could not change it to suit our-
self. We have only Tone
to the article in the Herald,
and that we have already stated.
The Reflector is accused of
misrepresentation, and to this
charge we wish to make reply.
Inasmuch as Mr- Whitfield as-
to answer for the
of Bethel, he is one of
their leaders and as we suppose
him to be be the author of the
article we shall have occasion to
mention his name further on,
and cite his action in proof of
our position. The fact is denied
that the Prohibitionists tried to
get out a county ticket two years
ago, but that we reiterate. The
convention met here for the
pose of nominating a county
ticket, instead of which only a
Legislative ticket was nominated
and these candidates were taken
from Bethel township.
It is also denied that the
movement was to help the Re-
publican party. This we repeat.
Two years ago the Prohibition
candidate for the Senate was Mr.
Z J, Whitfield, who is known
to have always been a
can, and we have it upon re-
authority that while
running on the Prohibition tick-
et himself and urging all Demo-
Prohibitionists to vote for
himself and the two candidates
of the Prohibitionists for the
he advised those Re-
publicans who had Prohibition
proclivities not to desert their
but to vote the straight
Republican ticket Now we do
not intend to say that all Pro-
are laboring for the
success of the Republican party,
for there are many of them who
arc sincere and who are above
reproach or suspicion. There
are prohibitionists who are such
from principle and who would
Scorn to do an tin act.
But the originators and chief of-
of the Third Party in
North Carolina are Republicans
i at heart and are secretly at work
for the party of their love.
State and see how each of G. O. Case,

denunciation of the Upon motion of J. S. Norman the
unite in
Democratic party while they are
perfectly concerning each
other. The article in the Herald
has nothing to say against Re-
but Democracy is
the recipient of several thrusts.
Is not that ample proof of the
aims and intentions of the Pro-
leaders
The charge is made that we
presumed to misguide our read-
That statement is absolute
without foundation in fact.
On the contrary we are trying to
keep some of them from being
deluded by the false promises of
pretended moralists.
The editor of the Reflector
for years has been an advocate of
prohibition, is such now and will
ever oppose liquor traffic. While
these are our sentiments we do
not believe in mixing up the
with politics and when the
effort is to do so we shall
oppose it. The Democratic party,
to which we have given our
and to which the people of
North Carolina must look for the
preservation of the rights of the
people, has never denied the Pro-
reasonable re-
quest. An opportunity given

UNDERTAKING.
MRS. s. r.
Far back in my musings my thought;
have been cast
To the cot where the hours of my child-
hood were passed,
I love all its rooms to the pantry and
hall,
But that blessed old kitchen was deafer
than all.
Its chairs and table none blighter could
be.
For all its surroundings wore pan rod to
me;
To the nail in the ceiling, the latch on
the door.
Ami I loved every crack of that old
kitchen floor.
I remember the window where mornings
I'd run
As soon as the day break to watch for
the sun.
And I thought as my head scarcely reach-
ed to the sill
That it slept through the nights in the
trees on the hill.
The small of ground that my eyes
there could view-
Was all of the world that my infancy
Indeed cared not to know of it more.
For a world in its self is that old kitchen
Boor.
I remember the lire-place with mouth
high and wide,
; The oven that stood by its
side
Out of each such Thanksgiving puddings
and pies
I That fairly bewildered and dazzled our
eyes
And then, too, St. slyly and
still
Came down every Christmas our Stock-
to fill;
But the dearest of memories laid up
in store
Is the mother that trod the old kitchen
Boor.
Day in and day on., from morning till
night.
Her footstep was busy her heart always
light.
For it seemed to me then that she knew
not a care
The smile was so gentle her face used to
wear
I remember with pleasure what joy tilled
our eyes
When she told us the stories that child-
so prize;
They were new every night, we'd
heard them before
From her lips, at the wheel, on the old
kitchen floor.
To night those old visions come back at
my will,
lint the wheel and its music forever are
still.
The band is moth eaten, the wheel laid
away.
The lingers that turned it lie
in clay.
The hearth-atone so sacred is just as
then.
And the voice of children ring out there
again,
The sun through the window looks in as
of yore.
Hut it seems oil the old
kitchen door.
Having associated B. S.
with me in the Undertaking business we
are ready to serve the people in that
capacity. All notes accounts due

Sculptors have at last become the

now for a woman to have her bust made
by a sculptor of renown. If a painting
renders the expression of eyes and face
more faithfully, on the other hand the
bust shows plastic beauty, graceful

and the slope of the shoulders. Beside,
there is a certain dignity of bearing at-
