McCulloh,'an old and highly esteemed citizen, died at his home in Greenbrier township Tuesday about midnight, at the age of 74 years. Deceased came to this county from his native State, North Carolina, some fifty years ago, es tablishing his home in Greenbrier township, where he has lived ever since.Capt. McCulloh was a man who entertained the highest sense of honor, and no dishonest act ever characterized his dealings with his fellow man. He was a kind and ae commodating neighbor, a devoted husband and kind father. He was a charter member of Neill Lodge, A. F. & A. M , and was a strong believer in the principles of that order. He served through the late war on the Confederate side and was admired by his comrades for his bravery and patriotism.He leaves a wife and six children who have the sincere sympathy of the public in their sad bereavement. His remains were laid to rest in the Alderbrook cemetery, near Desha, Thursday at noon, in the presence of a large number of friends and relatives.

The Democratic party is pledged to equal and exact justice to all men, of every creed and condition, to the largest freedom of the indi vidual consistent with good govern ment; to the preservation of the Federal government in its consti tutional vigor and the support of the States in all their just rights; to economy in the public expendi tures; to the maintenance of the public faith; and it is opposed to paternalism and all class legisla tion, especially the protective tar iff. How would that answer for the groundwork of the next national Democratic platform?—Times Dis- patch. The above used to be regarded as fundamental Democratic princi ples, but they have long since been discarded and regarded by the con trolling element of the party as good only for the scrap heap. There are so many kinds of Demo crats that it’s hard to tell or even guess what Demccracy stands for. Sixteen to one, the immortal ratio, like Pikes Peak or bust, is still re garded as one of the fundamentals. Free trade, with free soup and Coxey armies is a scene in the background. The m ap^ho can harmonize the discordant-elements and adopt some popular theories to lead the Democrats in 1908 will be given a front seat in the pro cession.

A King’s Debt to a Spider. On the ceiling of one of the rooms in Sans Souci, the world-re nowned palace of Frederick the Great, is painted a great spider with its web. rIhe origin of. this strange decoration is as follows: This apartment was the great King’s breakfast room and adjoin ed his bed chamber...,.AtetfniifrtiSEn.-. ingwhen h i^ o ^ 11 boTienfiS! ili™ room he cup of chocolate, but on one occa sion just as he was .About to drVnk' be thought of. something he had forgotten and returned to his bed room. 'When he again entered the breakfast room his majesty discov ered that a great spider had drop ped from the ceiling into the cup, and he naturally cried out for fresh chocolate to be prepared. The next moment the King was startled by the report of a pistol No sooner had the cook received the order than he blew out his brains. Not because the King had refused the chocolate did he do this, but because he had poisoned the cup and had thought himself discovered. It was in remem brance of this narrow escape that his majesty ordered the spider with its web to be painted on the ceil ing. _____________ The Lost Judge. The late Ferdinand Brnnetiere, Jhe noted French critic, liked American newspapers, says a Pitts burg editor, “but he thought that in some respects our papers went too far, I once heard him criti cise, at a dinner in Pittsburg, the innumerable bulletins that we post up when any important event is in progress. He told a story about a country editor w’ho was attacked with the bulletin craze. This editor, he said, on the ill ness of a certain prominent resident of the village, put up on a board outside his office the following bul letin: 9 a. in.—JudgeBrowu no better. 9:30 a. m.—Judge Brown grows weaker. Ila-. m.—Judge Brown rallies slightly. 11:15 a. m,—Judge Brown has relapse. ,12-14 p. m.—Judge Brown sink ing. 1:1.0 p. ra.—Judge Brownls bro ther has been summoned. 3:11 p. m.—Judge Brown has died and gone to heaven. By the afternoon train sTdruim mer arrived in the town who had never heard of Judge Bro^vn. He read the bulletins and the'n added an additional one. It read: 4:12 p. in.—Great.excitement in heaven. Judge ,Brown not yet ar rived.” --••• An Excellent Record. TheRepublican party of North Carolina can point with just pride to the excellent record made in the recent legislature by the twenty- eight Republicans of that body— four iu the Senate and twenty-four iuNthe House. Like a band of Spartans they stood as sentinels guarding the interests of the people f i t the entire State, While small in number, they often held the bal ance of power, and were able to de feat uiuch reckless legislation. Not a-breath'of scandal or a charge of miegligence of duty attaches to a single Republican member of that boejy. Mauy leaders both in the Sefiate and An the House on the ma5erit#Mfie were beard in the legislativfi- halls and in private con- Versattoh to compliment the Repub- IicJB members for the splendid rec- OjP wbich they had made. ,JlThe great- need of the'State today ^ b r a?m.aj.ority 'of such men In the J^islature. -^Shelby Aurora, '/i The News—No Pure Drug Cough -Curd Laws would be needed, if all Cough Cures were like-Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure is—and has been for 20 years.

STRIFE and GREED for OFFICE HAS RENT the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Mr. M. L. Shipman,'. Assistant Commissioner of Labor and Print ing, has writ a piece andshacks it up with endorsement from others, saying that the folks want pe^tce and “that the newspapers will greatly oblige the people by desist^ iug from an apparent effort to ere-.' ate dissension and division in the ranks of the ,Democsatic party.” There will be peace whenever Mr. Shipman induces the wing of the party with which he acts to allow it; but as long as its representatives continue to blackguard the other wing, to try to bully and bulldoze it, he may cry peace, peace, but there will be no peace. He doubt less expects them to lie down and permit themselves to be walked over aud to submit in silence to all the detraction and whatever else may be visited upon them, but they are not so lamblike, as everybody should know by this time,.; Sub- missiveness is not a Hortb Carolind characteristic, and while Mr. Ship man and his crowd cau depend up on that their assaults will continue to be met with assault, AU the warfare shall not be permitted to be waged on one side. Speaking of peace, the State was promised that as the result of fbe adoption of the constitutional amendment. But no sooner were the Republican party and the negro out of the way than the Shipman wing of the Democracy turned up on all that element of the party which would not bow the knee to it, and it was waged upon it amean- er, more malevolent warfare, than was ever waged upon the Republi cans and the negroes, so that since the adoption of the amendment North Carolina has been rent by strife and has resounded with con flict as never before. The anti- Shipman wing of the party has hot been responsible for this, and is ready to play quits whenever it is alone. But not before,—Charlotte Observor. The above is a remarkable bit of news. It sounds like Democrats talking about Republicans, but for one Democrat wing to say such things about the other wing is in deed almost beyond comprehension. Well, it does seem that there are a few Democrats who are anxious enough for office to fight over par ty control. Republicans can look on and smile; possibly some of the vile wrath which has so long been heaped upon Republicans will be turned on the two wings of Democ racy, It’s an old saying that when thieves fall out among themselves honest men stand a show to get The new minister had failed to fill his appointment at Coon Hollow for the first four times for reasons over which he had no control. At last at the fifth appointment he made his appearance. He found no one at the church wh,en he arrived except a rough looldng middle aged woman sitting on the doorstep. After dis posing of his horse he approached the woman and asked, “Is there go ing to be preaching here today my good woman?” The woman having never seen him, had ho idea he was the preacher himself, replied, “The preacher sent word he would be here today but he is, such a liar there’s no telling.” By ^nd by the people gathered and great was the woman’s consternation when she saw the man with whom she had been talking, mount the pulpit.- ECZEMA AND PILE CURE CRFF Knowing what it is to suffer, ] 11 wili give FREE of CHARGE, to any afflicted a positive cure for Eczema, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Piles and skin diseases, lnstantrelief.

HETTER. i'The Wont. ..at Growth of Freight Fa- f. cilities—Great Improvements ii- Mod- I ern Life—The Farmer*. Rich Heritage |t in These Things. (Spr. Home and Farm. few weeks ago I ate ripe pear and plum fruit. It was fresh from the orchards of South Africa, and was bought in the Knoxville mar ket, near where I live. As the old darkey preacher said, “The. world surtainly do move.” Think of re ceiving the perishable products of the soutlr?'.:n hemisphere laid down Vresh audHlelic-ious at onr own doors! The South Africansummer has just closed. - This explains our ■receiving their fruit at this partic ular time. Their winter is now drawing oh, and doubtless'"our fruits will soon be shipped to them TO return. This is a wonderful age in*vhicii we live! Transportation has become so greatly , developed ’that the nations and climates and zones and hemispheres will soon exchange products as easily - as neighborhoods did infci'm&ktimes. it is hard for us io realize just: what a d we do enjoy at the present time. It is- only by comparison with the past that we are enabled to see and know our present advantages. Only seventy years ago there was scarcely a rail- . road in the United States, and An drew Jackson drove in his own pri vate carriage from the hermitage near -Naish ville ail the way to Wash ington, where he took his seat as President of the United States. If we go back a little further, we find not only that George Washington could not tell a lie, but also that he could not telephone. - He never rode on a steam-boat—never even saw or heard tell of one! People would not then believesuch a thing possible, though many did believe that ugly old women as witches rode.through the air on broom sticks!. Nearly all the conveniences of ■modern life have been introduced within the memory of men now liv ing. You think, you could not get along without matches, , ;And yet some of ua remember wixCn we got fire only wy “borrowing” frbm our neighbor. ^Persons who had flint- Iock iiflesTsorahtjmes uAashedM n' little powder “in th8>pan” until it caught in “tow” and DhWjfeeytob- tained fire. Or with ak fife they struck sparks from 4 Snt. sparks fell upon a pec/liar form of rotten wood called “flunk,” which easily ignited, and so/fire was pro cured. Ptiore our civil war, cau dles were common articles in every household, aud; an oil lamp was rarely seen. Gas was introduced in our cities about fifty years ago and electric lights onlyabout thirty years since, or even later. One is puzzled to imagine how people lived at all only a few hun dred years ago. They had almost nothing of what we call the neces sities,of life today. They told the titifC by the position of the sun and other “heavenly bodies, for clocks and watches were not in existence. It is only in recent years thaKthey have become common. We think the farmers of the present do pbgr work, but their farms are kept Jike' gardens as compared with a few generations ago, when the soil was turned with wooden mold-board plows. Such farm implements and machinery as we now possess would then have seemed a miracle of won der and extravagance. Imagine their astonishment at turning a dozen furrows with a traction en gine or shredding corn with a gas oline motor. In the Federal capital I once had the privilege of seeing a coat that had been worn by George Wash ington. You would imagine it of the finest texture. On the contra ry, it seemed as coarse and selazy as common tow cloth of the present The houses that onr grandfathers lived in would today be considered exceedingly crude. Common peo ple now have better- furniture and more comfort in their ' homes than crowned heads enjoyed a few cen turies ago. It has been less than 200 years since the piano ,was in vented, and cabinet organs first came into use quite recently, not to SpsnT of phonographs and other musical wonders which are making common the worksof t-begreat-mas-, ters even in the humblest home. Think of the farmer’s rich herit age in the improvements of the present day! His wife gets the Home and Farm sewing machine for only $18, with freight prepaid, and set down at her own door in any part of the country? . A, few years ago such a machine would have cost $90, and a few years ear lier it could not have been bought- atany price, for the sewing machine was invented by Elias Howe as late as 1841. What would you do with out a sewiug machine? And yet your grandmother, or great-grand mother, sewed everything with her fingers. At the same time, every thing was made at home. Made- up garments so common now were unknown in that day. Compare your father’s old Dutch, scythe with the modern mower that' moves through your meadow like n, thing of life, doing the work of a; half dozen men, or the old-time, grain cradle, with your latest im proved harvester. : Think of.get- ting out your wheat“ With an old- time flail as compared with the best steam threshers! Have We im proved? How would yon liketo go back and do things in the old way? How would you liketo give up your farm- telephone, through, which you converse, with friends all over the neighborhood and re ceive the market reports and make sale of yonr products in distant cities. Is life any better today?. Do you feel thankful that you live in this age of progress and high attainment? Perhaps in no other way- has progress become so marked as in the growth of printing, literature and knowlebge. Less that 500 years ago there was not a printed book in the world, and precious few of any kind. Besides a few priests, scarcely any one could read and write. Even princes boasted of their illiteracy v It was not. till 1438 that John Guttenberg invent ed printing, and for a long time but little printing was done. Even Stomach trouble is but a symptom of. aud not In itself a true disease. We think of Dyspepsia, Heartburn, and Indigestion as real diseases, yet they are symptoms only of a certain specific Nerve sickness—nothing else. ,It-was this fact that first correctly led Dr. Shoop In the creation of that now very popular Stomach Remedy—Dr. ShoOp’s Restorative. Going direct to the stomadi nerves, alone brought that success and favor to Dr. Shoop and his Restorative. With* out that original and highly vital principle, no . such lasting accomplishments were ever to be had. .
