03-MarchV o l. IX.MOCKSYILLE. N . C.. THURSDAY. MARCH 5. 1908.N o. 3 5 THE POLITICAL SITUATION. ITp to this good hour The Beeord has had but little to say politically since the present editor took hold of the paper. There is a time for all things, and the less a man has t i do with politics the better off he is Bat since the Democratic pa pers have took it upon themselves to name the Eepublican nominees for the different offices in the State and nation, aGd have actually de feated them before they were eveu nominated by their party, we feel, constrained to make a few remarks concerning some of the leaders in the Democratic party. This party has tried for many years to fool the people into the belief that a Demo crat would rather be hang than to accept a piece of pie. Now, what do we find even this early in the year, eight months before the elec- tionl Three Democrats running from one end of the State to the other howling for the little office of Governor, and getting so hot among themselves that their own party leaders had to step in and take a band. And all this before a single Eepublican in the State has even hinted at wanting to fill the little Governor’s office. And still the Democrats have the cheek to call the Bepublicans pie-hunt- ers. Graig will probably receive the nomination, but if all the peo ple vote as they pray, he will not be elected. The Bepublican party in North Carolina have plenty of good men in the State to select from, and when the proper time arrives not only a good man will be nominated for Governor, but for all the other offices in the State. Some of thq Democratic papers in the State are claiming that num berless bags of money are being poured out around Greensboro in behalf of Gannon. Ifsuch is the case (and we doubt it much) the Democrats must have pocketed the coin. TheBecord isfor Taft for President, and we believe that North Carolina is for him, not withstanding all the efforts of the CaiAton faction and the Democrat ic press. Of course Bryan will be the Democratic nominee for Fresi dent, and while we do not believe it possible for him to be elected, yet we trust that he will not be defeated as bad as his friend Alton B. Parker, who will always re member the year 1904. The Ee- publican party is in better shape today than in many years, not on ly in this State, but throughout the entire country. Thousands of life long Democrats are leaving the old free trade party and joining the Bepublican column. Many young men who have heretofore worked and fought with the De mocratic party are coming over to the party of progress—the party that has done more for, this coun try in twelve years than the De mocratic party has ever done. The Bepublican party stands for the great common people of the coun try. and her Chief Executive has had the grit and backbone to use a club on the trusts and combines throughout this country that has made them tremble. What Dem ocratic president has ever dared to set his foot down on the trustst The voters of the United Statesare in sympathy with the Bepublican doctrine, and for that reason Taft will be nominated and elected President.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 20.—Lieu tenant-General Stoessel was con demned to death this evening by a military court for the surrender of Port Arthur to .the Japanese. General Fock, who commanded the fourth east Siberian division of Port Arthur, was ordered repri- mended for a disciplinary offense, which was not connected with the surrender, and General Smirnoff, acting commandment of the fort ress, and Major-General Beiss, chief of staff to General Stoessel, were acquitted of the charges a- gainst them for lack of proof. The court recommended that the death sentence npon Lieutenant-General Stoessel be commuted to 10 years’ imprisonment in a fortress and that be be excluded from the service. No U ieto Die. “I have found out that there is no use to die of Iungr trouble as Ion? as you can get Dr; King’s New Discov ery,” says Mrs. J. P.

Callao, Feb. 20.—The American battleships,, under BearAdmiral Evans, looking clean and trim and powerful in tropical sun, came to anchor in this port soon after 8 o’clock this morning. Booming of the salutes announc ed the arrival of the fleet, but there was no need to send out signals, for every residence of Callao and great crowds from Lima, that stands back on the hills, had a- waited with expectancy the first glimpse of the advancing column. Callao was in holiday array, and many thousands viewed from the wharves, the headlands and the ships in the harbor the imposing scene. Enthuastic crowds weiit down the bay on excursion steam ers and cheered the American men of war. Truth Plainly Told. When the executive, legislative and judicial appropriation bill was under consideration in the Honse of CongresB a few days ago, Mr. Criimpacker, of Indiana, offered an amendment reducing the mileage allowed Senators, members and delegates from 20 cent a mile to eight cents, but on a point of order the amendment was knocked out and was not permitted to come to a vote. If the vote had been taken the amendment would have been lost. Tou don’t catch members of legislative bodies surrendering any thing they have. On the contrary they generally seize in addition whatever they can lay hands on. Members of the North Carolina Legislature, for instance, vote to make railroad passenger rates 2, 2} and 21 cents a mile, but they continue to collect from the State the 1.0 a mile allowed them for mi leage to and from Baleigh. They are much concerned abont the a- mount of money Che railroads col lect from the people, but they (the officeholders) continue to collect from the people 10 and 20 cents for mileage when they expend only 2 to 2i in some cases and in others ride free on passes. Great is hum bug!—Statesville Landmark. If you have Catarrh, rid yourself of this repulsive disease. AskDr. Shoop of Racine, Wis., to mail you free, a trial box of his Dr. Slfoop’s Catturrh Remedy. A simpie, single test, will surely tell you a Catarrh truth well worth your knowing. Write to-day. Don’t suffer longer. C. C. Sanford Sons’ Co. The citizens and taxpayers of the town of Mocksville would like to know how much money is being collected for the purpose of cob . ducting the affairs of the town, and how it is being expended. They would like to know what per cent is being used to keep up the streets, and what per cent, it is costing to police the town. It ■strikes some of the taxpayers that they are getting mighty little for their money. P. Stop that tickling Cough. Dr. Shoop’s Gough Cure will surely stop it, and with perfect safety. Itis so thoroughly harmless, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers to use nothing else even with very young babies. The wholesome green leaves and tender 3tems of a lung healing mountain ous shrub furnish the curative prop erties to Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure.

EASY TO MIX THIS. Prepare It at Home by Shaking Ingre dients Well in a Bottle. What will appear verv interesting to many people here is thejarticle ta ken from a New York daily paper, giving a ample prescription, as for mulated by a noted authority, who claims that he has found a positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder de rangement, in the following simple prescription, if taken before thestage of Bright’s disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half: ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and tsteJnteaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.* A well-known druggist here at home, when asked regarding this pre scription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good pre scription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further states that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and help them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste mat ter which cause sickness and suffer idg. Those of our readers who suf fer can make'no mistake in giving it a trial. JS A weak Stomach, means weak Stomach nerves, always. And this is also true of the Heart, and Kidneys. It’s a pity that sick ones continue to drug the Stomach or stimulate the Heart and Kidneys. The weak ner ves, not the organs themselves, need this help. This explains why Dr; Shoop’s Restorative has, and is prom ptly helping so many sick ones. It goes direct to the cause of thesei dis eases. Test this vital truth, and see. C. C. Sanford Sons Co. Senator Laitimer Dead. Washington, Feb. 20.—Senator Asbury 0. Latimer, of South Caro lina, died at Providence Hospital at 9:15 a. in. today, of peritonitis. He had been at the hospital since Sunday last, when he underwent an operation for appendicitis. It was then discovered that he was suffer ing. with a far more serious ailment. The bowels had become twisted and his condition was found to be such that surgeons - held out little hope for his recovery. He rallied, how ever, and his progress was satisfac tory until 7 o’clock last evening when he steadily began to grow worse. At midnight it appeared that recovery was impossible.

SHEEK, Sheiiffi Plain Talks on Fertilizers Improving and Increasing Tobacco Crops No soil is rich enough in all the foods the tobacco plant needs to produce it at its best. Many tobacco soils, how ever, contain natural ele m ents, rich in certain valu- , able plant foods, but lack ing in others. And just as a dead or dying soil must be fed with a complete plant food, so these partially fed soils need specially prepared food to supply what they lack, and balance the unequal fertilization supplied by nature. When these special nourishing elements are added to the soil, ____ crops multiply enor mously; quality improves, and p ro fits are doubled and trebled. To bacco is seldom planted nowa days without the use of some fertilizer; but the great point to remember is to have the right fertilizer in the suffi cient quantities, otherwise the results will not be satis factory. O ver one million tons of Virginia-Caro lina Fertilizers were sold last year, a sure -. proof of their great popularity and value.

The siekliest thing we have seen lately was that poem in Thursday’s Charlotte Observer about .Craig. Observer readers have our sym pathy, should any more such stuff be forthcoming. We are iu a position we think, to know that the methods of the “big three” are not being endorsed or enconraged by but very few of our people. Not 2 per cent, of them are behind it. P. We learn just before going to press that J. D. Hodges, of Angus ta, has joined the ranks of the “big three.” Now if they could only indnce him to write a postal card to Washington, the matter would be settled at once. P. “The Courier has the larg est circulation of any paper ever printed in the county.” The above aiticle.ueeds but lit tie comment at our hands. We respectfully ask the Courier to prove the above statement to the people of MocksviIle by producing its subscription books and the ac tual number of its subscribers, which must exceed that of The Becord, and unless the prcof is forthcoming, we brand the Cour ier’s statement as a lie. Our books are open to the public at all times. Mt. “P” whomsoever you may be, you ought not be so hard on the town policeman, for we tax payers pay him $35 per month to work our streets, and you know that after he has been cleaning ditches all day, he is too tired at night to light lamps. He needs tome rest and what little time he is playing checks is all the rest he gets. A F kiend of P uelxoaus and Sinners . One of Mocksville’s leading bus iness men said Saturday that we only got job printing when people Iiad to have a rush job, and that he would never give us any work when he had time to send to Rich- mond for it. Now, Mr. Pig, what would become of the flour mills in this town and county if all our people would order their flour and bran from Richmond? We feel sorry for any poor fool who will break his own neck while trying to break the neck of his fellowman: The Courier tries to get funny occasionally. Listen to thta: Of the many interesting things we have seen, a jewelry shop and a printing office com bination has them all “skin- ned a block.” Probablyit is true that “some people who haven’t since enough to edit a paper can sell-jewelry.” : .Just notice how the Courier man spells the word “sense.” The edi tor of the Courier hasn’t ’ enough sense to either edit a paper or sell jewelry, but he can raise pump-: kins and turn them into !his editor ial staff.

I am already three days. behind in scratching; I have ordered from Sears Boebuck & Co., a breed of Arkansas Travelers to do my scratch ing. I did this because I don’t like to scratch in company. I know a feHow in this neighborhcoi what got so accustomed to scratching that, one night while dreaming about the itch, he scratched a hole through the ceiling. Thepanic struck me; that’s the reason I left Mocksville. I am stay ing at home arid beating board off of my neighbors. The people - around here have plenty of good rations and plenty of money.

The grip still has its hold on a great many people yet. Mr. Harrison Thorn has beeen in doors for SQme time suffering with grip. He is getting old, and by the way he is a son of the Bevo- lution, his father fought in the Bevolutionary war. ’ Mr. Eliflet Nichols, a very old man and a good citizen of Iredell county, fell asleep Friday morning. Was buried Saturday, Feb. 29th, at New Hope church. Mr. Quince Griffith is suffering with pneumonia. Mr. S. E. Strond has been on the puny list for about a week^ He is better we are glad to rvote. We noticed some time ago a lit tle sketch in the Becord commend ing the teacher at Strouds school house. Last week we discovered that Uncle Josh had heard it different from that, that the pa trons hap stopped their children because order was not enforced I think that is a mistake. There has been two or thjree stopped, one of them was alittle boy the teacher was compelled to use the rod of correction on and when order was inforced in that case they did not like it and he has stopped and a few of-his kin. As to the note writing, the little girls have been writing some notes to each other and also to the teacher, and those that could not write at all have got so they can write and compose a good letter, so we need not object -to that.

Thestory is going the rounds that the father of Kell Cropsey, whose tragic death near Elizabeth City, was laid at the door of one Wilcox, recently died and -con fessed on his death bed that he himself killed his daughter.

When Titus, the commanding General, took the city of Jerusa lem. threw down the walls thereof and killed not less than 1100,000 Jews because they despised and re-, jected Christ of being the true. Messiah, why did he not extermi nate and kill the entire Jewish tribes? Ans: Berause it was pre dicted by the Jewish prophets that the Virgin’s Son, w.ho possessed both supremacy and humanity, should come in the Tribe of Ju dah, and that Josephus, who lived cotemporary with our Savior, and Was that great Jewish historian, said that sthe elect belonged to the Jewish tribes. ..... ..

A negro preacher, whose supply ol homioy and bacon was running low, decided to take radical steps to impress upon his flock the ne cessity of contributing liberally to the church exchequer. Accord ingly, at the close of the sermon he made an impressive pause, and then proceeded as follows: “I hab found it necessary, on account ob de stringency ob de hard times an’ de gineral defic iency ob de circulatin’ mejum in connection wid dis chnc’h, to in terdnce ma new ottermatic collec tion box. It is so arranged dat a half dollah or qnatah falls on a red plush cushion without noise; a nickle will ring a small bell dis; tinctually heard by de congrega tion. an’ a suspendah-button, ma fellow mawtels, will fiah off a pis tol; so you will gov’n yo’selves ac cordingly Let de ’election now p’oceed, while I takes off ma hat an’ gibs out a hymn.”—Ex. Snake Worldns Overtime. They tell some tall stories about the early days of prohibition in Kansas. Aldarado,<a wicked Mis sourian, went into a drug store and asked for a drink. “I’ am sick,” he said, “and need it.” “But my friend,” said the drug gist, “you’ll have to'bring a phy sician’s prescription.” “No other,way?” asked the de lected Missouri an. “No. No prescription, no whis key, and I am’sorry to say that onr physician is in Topeka.” “And no possible way to get a drink?” “ 'Yell, yes,” said the druggist. “In case of a snake bite we can give whiskey to save a man’s life.” “Do you know where I can find a snakef’gasped the sufferer. “They say Jim Smith caught one in the 6orghum patch yester day.” “I’ll be back in alminute,” said the man rushing from the door. About two hours afterwards he came back exclaiming, “Got it! Snake bit me! Gimme the whisky.” “What delayed you so long?” asked the druggist. “Court in session and four judges fifteen lawyers and thirty-six jury men waiting for that snake.”— Philadelphia Ledger.

A subscriber in Kentucky writes us to know if we think the Demo crats of the North Carolina legis lature are actually prohibitionistis or are they just playing ’possom. Couldn’t say, but we will give you a pointer. On the last night of the extra session at which the prohibi tion law was passed, a prominent Democratic member of the legis lature, a fellow who ripped and roared for prohibition, slept in the Baleigh city prison, having been arresced on the charge of drunken ness.—Yellow Jacket, A town that never has anything to do in a public way, is on the way to the cemetery. Anycitizen who will do nothing for his own town is helping to dig the grave. A man that curses the town fur nishes the coffin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to city affairs is making the shroud. The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is al ways pulling back from any pub lie enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be howling hard times preaches the funeral, sings the doxology, and thus the town lies buried from all sorrow and care.— Exchange.

Did the Democrat ic party fulfill their promises! We think not. Strange indeed that the Char lotte Observer, the leading Demo cratic paper in the State, should be "opposed to prohibition. We thought all our Democratic breth ren were for prohibition. Since the Mayor of Jamesville, N.

The Newton Enterprise, a lead ing Democratic paper of the State, has the following to say in regard to the panic: The farmers of the whole county are in fine financial condition. They have been getting good prices for every thing they have to sell. They are as able to buy as many goods and as good goods as they ever were. Will the Cooleemee Journal and MockBVille Courier please copy. After one joint debate between Locke Craig and W. W.

The Republicans of Davie coun ty met in convention at the Court house, in Mocksville Monday, the 2nd, at 2 p. m. Every township in the county was well represented by loyal, en thusiastic and militant republicans and a more harmonious political meeting was never witnessed. The convention was called to or der by Dr. M. D. Kimbrough, Ohm. of the Executive Committee, and its purpose was explained by A. T. Grant, Jr., Secretary. The purpose of the convention as was explained, being to elect delegates to the State Republican Conven tion which meets at Greensboro Apr. 30th, 1908, to select delegates to the National Republican Con vention which meets at Chicago in June. After the purpose of the meet-| ing was explained the convention at once proceeded to business. ,It being ascertained that Davie coun ty is entitled to eleven delegates to the State Convention under the Republican plan of organization. The following delegates and alter nates were chosen from the several voting precincts to represent the county, towit: Calahaln Precinct—C. M. God- by, delegate; John Foster, alter nate. Clarksville—Dr. J. M. Cain, T. M, Peebles. Cooleemee—B. F- Mocre, John Lyons. Jerusalem—W . H. Hobson, Geo. M. Hendrix. Fulton—C. G. Bailey, W, D. Peebles. Farmington— G. H-. Graham. C. A, Hartman.

Grant, Jr., was elected as a delegate at large from the coun ty and Jas. L. Sheek, alternate, and by a resolution all republicans in the county in good standing were commissioned as delegates to the State convention. Mr. A. T. Grant, Jr., introduced the following resolution and spoke briefly in favor of its passage, viz: “Resolved that we do hereby endorse the Hon. Willtom H. Taft, of Ohio, for President as the suc cessor of Theodore Roosevelt,” The resolution was favored by Mr. W. H. Hobson in a brief, able and aoncise speech, also by Mr, E. H. Morris and others, pnd was unani mously adopted. Also the ,following resolutions introduced by Mr. C. G, Bailey was unanimously adopted, viz: “The Republicans of Davje coun ty in convention assembled do re solve, First, Thatwepledge ourselves anew to the principles of the Re publican party, whose broad nat ional policies enacted into law have brought peace, prosperity and hap piness to our people. Second, That we also endorse the administration of Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, whose wise foresight and broad patriotism have reunited all sections of our country into one compact, indivisible union, whose prestige at home and abroad had risen to the first rank and we stand today second to no nation in the world. ■ Third, That we endorse our State chairman, the Hon. Hpencer B- Adams for the wisdom he has displayed in managing the affairs of the Republican party in the State.” Thereupon the convention ad journed. Are We Growing Better?

PREACH CHRIST, NOT POLITICS. If we mistake not, a minister of the gospel wrote the following ar ticles which appeared in the last issue of the Cooieensee Journal,: W. J. Bryan will be nomi-; nated first ballot and elected the 8 th of November. Hasen’t things changed. De mocrats talk panic and repub licans talk weather. We may be mistaken about the author of the above, but if it was a minister, he should be preaching Christ instead of making falser pre dictions. Pr "• if- f " Y - , YEAR OF POLITICAL SURPRISES. The Wilmington Messenger, a . Democratic paper,. must smell a mouse. Thefollowingarticle does not read like the Democrats ex pected a sweeping victory this fall: This is goihg to be a. year Qf . surprises in politics in this State. Surprises of several kinds are awaitmg those de mocrats who now think that the only thing necessary, for the party to do is to go throu ' the formality of holding nom inating conventions and the holding of an election. Mark our words; the democrats this year have got to be wide-awake and to nominate their best men, else there will be defeats in many counties which will surprise them. The day of a few political leaders laying down the law to the electorate and expecting blind obedience is past. The people have come to think and to act for them selves. To keep the lead that it had in the past the demo cratic party must advocate measures helpful to the peo ple a>nd not inimicable to their . interests and it must put up as candidates for office men in whose moral life and integrity the people can have faith. . They will judge men by their . deeds. Speeches filleh with high-sounding moral phrases and fluent protestations against immorality will no longer fool the people. The time has come when the people demand for their candidates men with clean lives, not men Whoonly eloquently denounce immoral practices. . One Way of Looking at It. TheWilmington M ejs3enger makes a good point when it says; “We suppose that the object of the Southern railroad in reducing wages of its employees is - to raise the $17,500 it agreed with Govern or Glenn to pay the state if. he : would,call an extra, session of the legisiatureand recommend to it the increasing of railway passen- ger rates. Wiho can best afford, to lose that sum, the state or the rail way employes? But then/ we are . told that the governor made a splendid trade/yirtrthe Southern; : We dtinot reckon the ' employes iOf that company think so,” NeitJr ,er the railroad empioj^'hdr ihe 'gen eral public received'-much. consid eration at the hands of last legislature.

It is also said that the McCanlis quarry is going to work 75 hands. The Eowan and Whitney works are still mum; can not tell what is wrong. ' Mumps, measles, whoopingcough itch, chicken pox, and a few mild cases of the so-called small-pox, seem to be in different parts of the county.

Now as the great ma jority of the people is in favor ot it, the opposing element is calling upon a united Democracy to oppose it. Who can tell what Democracy is? Please do ask Observer to ex plain it. We are in favor of prohibition, party or no party; and when party is more precious than souls, Obser ver wants to get out. We think one question will settle it. ,Does the liquor traffic in our state or country do more harmr than good? This must be answered emphatically “yes.” Then every citizen who is in favor of the best interests of our country should vote for pro hibition. B. L.

Hours thus spent are very delightful bui we are free to con fess that “there is a difference in the morning.” Constituted as we are, being “hale fellow well met,” ready always to “weep with those that weep and rejoice with those that rejoice,” to be dry with those that are dry and to drink with those that are wet, we feel that, personally, prohibition is the thing for us. We also believe that there are thousands of other men simil arly constituted. If whiskey is easily get-at-able they will drink it, and if not get-at-able they won’t go to any great trouble to get it. We are all better off without it, so let’s “let ’er go.”—The Lincointon News. A Hopelew Thing. Ex-Senator Dubois of Idaho, in Aurora, 111., said recently: “Mormonism, with its attendant polygamy is, look at it how you will, a bad thing, a hopeless thing —as bad and hopeless as the case of Jacob Smithere.” Dubois smiled. “Jacob Smithers, criminal.” he went on, “sat in his cell making paper boxes when a dear old lady looked through the peep hole in the door inquisitively. “You poor man” said the old lady, “I guess you’ll be glad! when your time is up, won’t you!” “Wall, no’m, not x>artiekerly,” Jacob Smithers answered, “I’m in fur life.” Work a* Well a* Pray. A young colored candidate for the ministry was addressing a col ored Sunday school: “We are al ways prayin' ‘Thy Kingdom Come,’ butwe nebber does anything to help fotch de Kingdom. Now we ought to be a doin’ sumfin to help answer our prayers. It reminds me of a culled brudder down Sonth what tuk a iancy to one of his neighbor’s chickens, He prayed and prayed to de Lawd foh dat chicken. But de good Lawd did not send him de chicken. Atlast he prayed de Lawd to send him after dat chick en. And, shore ’nuffl he went ober one night and got dat chicken. So, my bruddern and sisters, you should wuk as well as pray. Yo’ should go arter the de Kingdom.” The Democrats in the Kentucky Legislature who elected a Republi can Senator made a mistake. They may have a just grievance; we have no information on that point. - But the election bf a Republican will not redress their grievances. ItJonly serves to make bad matters worse. —Statesville Landmark. The republican committee of the ninth congressional district met at Hickory Saturday afternoon.

News from all of the trade centers throughout the country is of the most encouraging character Rb to a gradual return of prosperity and business activity.- Depressions in business are often sudden, and not infrequently unaccounted for, but as a rule the return of activity in business is slow. The American, a newspaper of wide circulation and great conservation, published in the city of Baltimore, the me tropolis of the South, is unusually opt oniistic over the bright outlook lor business activity for the year upou which the country has just entered. We quote the following extract from a recent issue of the American: A spirit of optimism prevades the commercial world of Baltimore, and prophecies are on every tongue forecasting a lively spring season in this city and throughout the Sonth. The business men are students of the conditions of neces sity, and looking into the future they see no danger ahead and no cause for any other feeling than one of satisfaction. The buyers from the South are coming in earlier than was expected, and they are buying as freely as they ever did and talking encouragingly of the bnsiness year to come. W. W. Cator, of Armstrong, Ca- tor & Co., said to a reporter of the American: We are more than gratified with the conditions. The buyers from the South are with us now, earlier than we had expected, for our trade is governed, to a cer tain extent, by Easter, and that day is nearly a month later than last year. There has been a slight break in the prices of .staples''and domestics, but the break, seems to have stopped there and prices are firm. In yarns there has been an advance. Our buyers report no sign of a break in prices and that the manufacturers are demanding the prices of a year ago. In all the other large trade cen ters the same optomistic spirit pre vails. There is not the shadow of a doubt, but the country is getting down to a safe and sane business basis. Conditions will not be like they were during the year just past, when they were abnormal. The country is getting back to nor mal business conditions, Theworst may now be said to be over and business will move along in safe and sane channels.—Central North Carolinian. Will Not Win Without a Fight. In speaking of the approaching prohibition election in North Car olina, the Washington correspon dent of the Charlotte Observer, says: “Those who believe that North Carolina is to have State prohibit ion without a fight at the polls will have their minds disabused. There is a determination in the minds of independent North Caro linians to protest to the bitter end the taking away of 'their rights and privileges. Every day brings fresh news of a brewing war in the Old North State. Local option satisfied a majority of the people but it is donbtful if they will stand for a State law. Although several Tar Heel congressmen have Bpent much time in North Carolina re cently, they wilt be in Washing ton when the prohibitiou fight' comes on.” Deposit Your Money. With banks in our midst it is strangethat people will continue to hoard money in their houses. You may thiuk it safe, but you have only to read the papers to learn how common it is for such hiding places to be found and the money stolen. Witness the eaee in our town recently, where an honest and deserving man was robbed of some $75, which he thought was securely hidden. Such secrets are hard to keep. Take our advice and put your money in some ol the many good banks.— Central North Carolinian. He Told The Truth. That the state prohibition cam paign issue is not going- to be a. political one was well demonstra ted when Governor Olenn and Judge W. 8 . O’B. Eobinson of Goldsboro, spoke from the same platform at LaGrange, when Judge Robinson said in his speech: “Now gentlemen to show you that this is not a party question; you all know me; I am a radical; I was born on a radical branch, rocked in a radical cradle, and when I die I expect-to go to a rad ical heaven; and if I owed the Old Boy a hundred bald democrats I’d take Governor Glenn down and with him pay off the whole debt and expect boot, and yet w'e can both speak on this subject from the same platform.”—Exchange.

All the farmers and most other folks know about the-(Jliyer plow.; which has been ou the market for years, and they will be interested to know that James Oliver, the millionaire manufacturer of these plows, died at his home at South Bend, Ind., Monday. He had been iu failing health for several months. The Monroe Journal is mystified. It is a matter of record that only three counties were carried for pro prohibition in the State election of 1881, but the Journal can’t, under stand “how come,” seeing that ‘all the politicians are now claim ing to have voted for it then.” The Landmark is unable to shed any lighton the situation. Certainly if all the people who, now assert they voted prohibition in 1881 ac tually voted for it, it is a little strange that the cause was so weak at that time. Possibly the Morally Stunted stuffed the ballot boxes.— Statesville Landmark. . Southern Lays Off Many Men. Salisbury, N. C., March 10.—The employes of the Southern railway shops at Spencer, except the round house and the*car||department, were laid off this- afternoon indefinitely. Two hundred men are affected. Atlanta, Ga., Mar. 10.—The’South- ern railway shops at this place were closed down tonight for an indefinite period. The order closinS the shops stated that only a force sufficient to meet the actual demands would be retained.®The number thrown out exceeds one hundred.! Selma, Ala,, March 10.—Seventy- five skilled workmen at the shops of the Southern railway, in Selma, were thrown out of employment today by an order received to close the shops indefinitely. Thecar repairing de partment will be continued with a decreased force. Knoxville, Tenn,, March 10,—The Southern railwaylmdoff 200 more men at its Coster plant tonight, leav ing at work about 300 men in a plant that normally employs between 1,- 000 and 1,200. Columbia, S. C., March 10.—The Southern railway today posted no tices in its shops in this city that a- bout fifty of its. shopmen would be laid, off indefinitely. Two reasons are assigned for this action, the first being that the Spencer, N. C., shops have been enlarged, and the other is that the railroad has a number of new locomotives and the repair work is not as heavy as formerly. Mn. Thaw Asks For Divorce.

A disaster like that in the Ohio school house is horrible enough when grown people are the victims, but it is infinitely worse to think of scores of little children perish ing in a burning building.

Mr. Bryan charges that money is being used in the Mississippi Valley States to .elect delegates to the national Democratic convention “who will be obedient to the pred atory interests” and who will be tray the masses of Democracy. May be so, but The Landmark doesn’t believe it. The man who spends money on Democratic dele gates to Denver to oppose Bryan needs a guardian. Mr. Bryan’s outcry reminds one of; Gov, Glenn when the latter gets to; that point in his speech where he declares, with tears iu his voice, that he has been told that advocating prohi bition will make him unpopular; as if everybody didn’t know that Gov. Glenn knows that it is the very thing to make him popular, hence his great zeal; as if every body didn’t know that Mr. Bryan knows that he has the Democratic aotpination and that his yell about money is to create a sympathy in a ,contest against a man of straw.— StateByilleLandmark. . .

OUR TICKET. For President, WM. H. TAFT of Ohio. The Mocksville Cornier, in its Iase issue said -we had slandered one of Mocksville's best business men. Will the Courier please give TM the name of the man? The fellow who goes through the world cheating and stealing from his fellowmen had better enjoy his ill-gotten gains in this world, for the devil is only waiting for him to .be jerked hence. : TheConrierintimates that the editor of The Eecord is a coward. Maybe we are, but we have never been run out of town like a cer tain editor we could mention. And it hasn’t been so many moons ago that this distressing incident oc curred. ■; The Courier doesn’t seem to be in any great hurry to prove that they have the largest circulation of any paper ever published in the county. And we don’t think they will be. It is atwful easy to say a thing, but proving it is quite a difierent matter. OO I t I, ■ All Communications of NEWS with Writer's name attached will be The Lexington Dispatch that Bryan; will be inaugurated President the ith of next March. Has the Disjpatch forgot that there will be an. je’ectionnext Novem ber. and that Bryani will -have to be elected before he can be inau gurated. From present indications we do not believe that one-fourth the vo ters in the State will go to the polls -aud vote in the .prohibition elec tion. The stay-away vote would give the whiskey men the only . chance of success they will have. A8 we have said before, we believe the State will go prohibition by 40,000 if the people will turn out and vote. Notwithstanding the “panic,” as it is lovingly called by "the : demo crats, larmers are not selling their meat at 5 cents a poiind, their corn at 40 cents a bushel, nor their cord wood at 40 cents a load. Every thing the farmer has to sell brings him a good price, in fact a bigger price than the town fellow can af ford to pay.

Several years ago there was or ganized in MocksviUe a board of trade, and certain citizens of the town contributed, so we are in formed, $12 or $15, which was turned over to the Secretary-!! reas- urer. Weheardone of the citi zens who contributed to this tfund, say a few days ago, that he - 'would like to know what went with the money? Now as.the edi tor of the Courier seems to.be so /well quali fied to look after oth- er people’s business, possibly ,he could tell what went with the co in? Who is the Secretary Treasur er, Mr. Cour ier, auyhow? Giyp ua a little light. Enquibee. gladly accepted. ^ “S ’ Calahidn Route I Items. : March 11, 1908. There was quite a liarge crowd at the spelling at Cook’s school house JPriday night, and every one seemed to enjoy it. Misses Annie Cnrrent land Ma rietta Cain and Mr. Grant Daniel, of Mocksville, came up Friday to see Miss Benlab Current, who is teaching school at Cook’s, return ing Saturday afternoon. Misses Ha and Angie Richard son, of Irfidell county, spent Fri- night at Mr. M. G. Richardson’s. They were accompanied home Sat urday by Mr. Lum and Misses Bes sie and Mamie Richardson and Beulah Current, going, from there; to Sandy Springs Sunday, and then to Mr. W. A. Renegai’s at Lone Hickory, returning hoihe Sunday. Jnst ask the teacher at "Cook’s” how she likes the bachelor at Hiek- ory. Miss Myrtle Eeavis, who has been visiting relatives and triends here, returned to her home in Winston Sunday. “Big Dutchman” .says he is com ing to North Carolina in December to get the school teacher at the col lege, We hate to lose our much loved teacher and friend; but such is life. Mr. Lum Richardson says if boys will take his advice they will let school teachers alone, for they will do nothing but foOl you. How about that, “teachers?” We in our community are all for prohibition and hope it will'tte car ried,v for strong'drink is the great est. curse to this world and if it were blbtted out many lives %ottld be brightened:. '■ ■'; Many; ^ life has been lturled into eternity without a minute’s warn ing "by some one under the influ ence ,of liquor, and many: persons have , been made homeless by it. A drunkard.is the most despisa- ble and disgusting thing in this life. Many Jbandsome and well-bred yoiing men—^men who were weal thy and could have been something and reached to the top, if they would—are ruined and kicked to the lowest. Why? Only because they got one taste of the poisonous Ituff and it gave them that un conquerable thirst for it, and in stead of trying to conquer they give way to it. Some say “they have tried but could not succeed.” No, they could not conquer by them selves but there is a supreme ruler who can and will help them if they ask Him. That liquor or strong drink of any kind may be blotted out is the cry of thousands of unhappy wives and mothers whose husbands and sons keep the saloon and dram shops haunted with their presence, and give their money to the help of snpporting the saloon owners’ family in luxury, while his (the husband’s) own family is perhaps dying, for the -want of food or the lack of clothes to protect and keep them warm.,. .Such are the scenes in thousands of homes today, and if it were, not for drink those men woald.be kind and loving husbands, fathers and children, and be living in ease, while his loved Ones would be dressed as nicely as the saloon keepers’. I am sure if, any young man (when sober) could see the figure he cuts when under the influence of liquor, he would be so disgusted at himself that he would never drink again; To look at it in this way, the girls-are very much to blame. If they, would form a club -and never go with or notice a young man that drinks, most of them would soon quit drinking. But the girls ^tre heedless and think first, so he iB handsome and worth a little, and they go on toward their fate never realizing it until too late,—the fol ly of tying their ljves to# duujavri. Two other questions arise: that of the bar-keeper and that of the dram-drinker. Wha,t does the bar keeper expect hereafter to hold for him when he knows he is the one that sells the awful stuff and causes so much strife and misery; but he too goes heedlessly on, only crav the money any craying naught for his fellow-man, and instead of try ing to hold him up is glad to sell him the stuff .that causes him to be kicked lower. Does he follow the “golden rule?” No; and if lie does not quit, God will put a curse on him. The dram drinkers a.re almost SB bad as the sot drunkards, although they do not get drunk'; they could put their money to better use. How many Bibles could be bought and sent to the heathen with it, causing the salvation of many souls? tf they drink a dram they may be the cause of some other person taking a dram and that one dram cause them to have that unconquer able thirst for it and go to meet their doqm; then the moderate drinker would be the direct cause It also ruins his breath, weak ens his miitd, makes him untruth ful, cross and ill; although not as despisable as the soc drunkard’s, his sin is as bad. Boys have said that many girls will go with a boy who drinks be fore they will go with one who does not. I am glad to say that a number of our girls are too noble for that and will spurn the drink er. The prayers of all Christians are needed in this contest, and we hope they will give them. “A n O ld Maid .” „ -V - Wt Cool Springs Items. March 13, 1708.

MiiI Catches on Fire Friday Morning, Doing Great Damage—Heroic Work Saves jyiain Buildings. Saturday morning about 8:30 fire broke out at the Cooleemee Cotton Mill, at Cooleemeej burning the picker, lap and machine rooms which was a four-story structure, causing a loss which is estimated at $122,000. The fire was caused by a piece of iron running through the' suck pipe that carries cotton from the cotton house to the picker roomss The iron hit against something causing a spark, which set. fire to the cotton. The three upper etories of the building were; entirely de stroyed, with many valuable ma* chines. The machine room, which was on the lower floor, was not damaged much. By heroic efforj, on the part of the mill employes, the main'mill building was saved. The fire ■ raged fdr about three hours before it was gotten under control. About 100 employes worked, in the building that was destroyed. It is understood that the burned building will be rebuil t at once. Atthiswritingit is impossible to tell when the mill will resume work. The Cooleemee mill is one of the largest cotton mills in the South, employing between 800 and 1,000 people, and turning out all kinds of sheetings, flannels, duckings, etc. The mill was heavily insured, and the loss by the fire is fully covered. The fire was a great calamity, not only to the employes, but to the company, and in fact, to the whole county. Cooleemee is the largest town in Davie county, and the welfare of the town depends almost solely up on the mill. We trust that the company • will soon, be running again on full time, and that, Phoe nix-like,: the burned portion will raise again soon, on a bigger and larger scale thau before. Many people from all parts of the county went to see the ruins of the fire Saturday evening and Sun day! The employes and the com pany have the sympathy of all the people in the country. Another Destructive Fire. Sunday evening the - two-story brick residence of Mr. John Lefler, who lives near Cooleemee, was to tally destroyed by fire, only-a few of the household goods being saved . One of Mr. Lefler’s daughters wag very ill with pneumonia and had to be carried out of the burning house. We have not been able to learn how the fire started. This is a severe loss to Mr. Lefier, and he has the sympathy of all the people in his loss. He was away from home at the time. Wedo not know whether he had any in surance on his house goods.

One day an important looking gentleman took a seat beside a quiet man in an Arkansas railway carriage and began a conversation. “I’m going up to Little Rock,” he said, “to get a pardon for a con victed thief. I’m not personally acquainted with the governor, but he can’t afford to refuse me.” “Is«the fellow guilty?” asked the man. “Of course he is. But that makes no difference. His friends have agreed to give me $500 if I get bim out, and the tbennometor is very low when I can’t put up a good talk. Where are you travel ing?” “Going to Little Eock.” “Do you live there!” “Yes.” “Perhaps you might be of some service to me. What business are you in?” “I am the governor.”—St- Louis Eepubhc. .

TELLS HOW TO MIX IT. Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet Re markable Home Mixture. A well-known authority on Eheu- matism gives the readers of a large New Yorkdaily paper the following valuable, yet simple and harmless prescription, which any one' can easily prepare at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mixby shaking.well in a bottle, and'take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescrip tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be ing of vegetable extraction, are harmless to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for a few days, is said to overcome almost any case of Rheu matism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with ,each dose.* un til permanent results are obtained, and without injuring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheu matism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent !results, and the above will, no doubt, be be greatly appreciated by many suf ferers here at this time.Inquiry at the drugstores of this neighborhood elicits the information that the drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the drug gists here will mix the prescription for our readers if asked to..

Ht for Tat A few days ago two young ladies hailed a street car, entered it, and found only standing room. One of them whispered to her compan ion: ‘ ‘I’m going to get a seat from one of these men.

She sailed up to him and boldly open ed fire: “My dear Mr. Green! How de lighted I am to meet you! You are almost a stranger. Will I-ac cept your seat? Weil, I. do feel tired, I heartily admit. Thank you, so much.” The sedate gentleman—a total stranger, of course—looked, listen ed, then quiely rose, and gave her his Beat, saying: “Sit down, Jane, my girl.

Four Dangerous Insane Men Escape From the State Hospital at Morganton. Four male patients, confined in the ward for the violently insane at the Western State Hospital at Morganton, made their escape: be tween 8 and 9 o’clock last Monday night. The escape was effected by breaking the iron guards of one of the windows in the ward, presuma bly by main strength, as the pa tients had no access to implements of any kind. A posse of ten men was. immed iately organized by the superiu dent, Dr. McGampbell, and sent Out in search of the men, but thus far has not succeeded in appre hending them. The men are regarded as danger ously insane and consequently des perate, and for that reason warn ings have, been sent out by Dr. McCampbell through the surround- ingcountry. The men who escaped are: Byrum Green, Wautauga county; Wiley Sluder, Buncombe county; Francis Hanes, Forsyth county, and Thomas M. Collet, of Davie-County. AIl four ofthe men have been captured.

The Southern Railway continues to reduce its force as our news col umns show and it is a fact greatly to be regretted Yet. has the party in power in North Carolina today done anything to prevent or relieve the situation? It has hindered and hnrt railroad interests in this State beyond measure and then is foolish enough to wonder why the 2 0 , 0 0 0 employees speak, of. remembering their grievances at the polls, next November and as vainly believe that every one of these railroad employees are going to vote the Democratic ticket and to continue in power a party so drastic to their interests.

Postmasters should encourage pa trons of Rural Delivery to pur chase embossed stamped envel opes in quantities; also to pur chase books of stamps. STAMPED ENVELOPES. In the matter of discouraging patrons of rural delivery from placing loose coins in their boxes (referred to in circular letter N- 7 5 7 of January 20. 1908), postmasters and rural carriers should bring to the attention of patrons of rural delivery the advantages derived from the use of embossed stamped- envelopes—the reasonable price at which they are sold above'the val ue of the stamps thereon; the fact that if spoiled by the purchaser they are redeemable in stamps at postage value; and that a return- cardis printed on the envelopes, bearing the number of the rural; route and name of postoffice, with a blank line on whish the user’s name may be written, insuring re turn of undelivered letters to the writer free of cost. Patrons of the rural delivery ser vice should be encouraged to pur chase the stamped envelopes in packages of twenty-five or more. . BOQKS1OF STAMPS. Postmasters and rural carriers should also invite the attention of patrons to the books of stamps fur nished by the Department. These are issued with 24 one-cent, 12,' 24 and-48 two-cent postage stamps, The sheets of stamps are inter leaved with oiled-paper to prevent premature sticking. This protects the Btampsl and the book affords a convenient.. form for ■ keeping pos tage, stamps in the pocket, home or office: The price is lc. per book over the value of the stamps con tained therein. * P.

He had been a sufferer from asthma and neurasthenia for a number of years and last fall came south hop ing the change of climate would be beneficial to him and did. improve much for a while, but a few days be fore hits death his asthma returned with apparent new vigor and on Sunday evening, March 15,1908, he died.

The following is what the Courier said editorially in its issue of March 12th: . “ W. W. Kitchin stands for the common good of the peo ple. Locke. Craig stands for , the good of the railroads and other corporations that swindle the people. Which one. .do you want for Governor!” ' ' —Courier. Mr. Craig says its “an infamous slander,?’ and the Courier hastens in last week’s issue to pack it off on his printers. We will bet our old winter hat-against a horse that no printer in the Courier shop had anything to do with that “infamous slander” but'to Set it up as it was written. We have an idea that the editor of the Coumr heard it thunder right here in town before Craig’s lightning struck him, Kow would it not have looked and sounded a little better for the edi tor ol the Courier to have come out and admitted .that in his zeal for Mr. Kitchin, he had over stepped the bounds and had done Mr. Craig an injustice instead of falling back on that flimsy excuse, that the printer was responsible for his acts? A printer sometimes makes a typographical error j but rarely ever writeB the editorials BRAVE EDITOR OF THE COURIER IN TROUBLE. Mr, Locke Craig, candidate lor the Democratic nomination for Governor, . last Thursday night made the following statement: tTwo editorials have just been called to my attention, one from The Madison Herald,. the - other from The Mocksville Courier, which is as follows: ‘•W. W. Kitchin stands for the common good of the peopled Locke Craig stands for the good of the railroads and other corporations that swindle, the people, Which one do you want for. Governor?” “ The charges made against me in both of these editorials are in famous slanders, uttered and pub lished with the deliberate.: design to do me the greatest wrong that can be done to a man who Values his integrity of character. The idea that my candidacy is based upon any assurance of support or any hope of support by any special interest, or that I stand for these against the people is too degrading to be replied to except by indig nant denunciation of its falsity. This is a sample of the charges that for some time have been secretly circulated against me, but until now, so far as I know, have not been publicly made. It is an attempt to injure me for the benefit of another by vile and groundless accusations.” No Panic at Ephesus.

It may have been true Irt Bible times, but in these days of new inventions and fulsome frauds,, one feels the thought is due for a wholesale revision. For instance, our harness is new—no room in our shop for shelf-worn goods. Youhave justas much right to know thejquality of leather and character of work manship in you* set of harness as the kind of weather-boarding and shin gles that go into thejjmilding of your home. We are anxious to demon strate the superior qualities of our shop-made harness. We can furnish you anything you may need from the curry comb to the bridle that curbs your horse’s flight. Let us consel together. Will pay cash for hides. HOLTON BiROS WeAnt Building,Mocksville, N. C. • • To The People of CIarktvilIe Township.. It is time to wake up! A spirit of education is taking hold of our peo pie, and we should strike while the “iron is hot.” There is talk of locating an acad emy at Clarksville, and several have expressed themselves very favorably from a financial point of view. It certainly is much needed and is our only hope to educate our daughters and make citizens of our sons. Notwithstanding the promises made by the democratic party, thousands of white men of North Carolina will be disfranchised after the year 1908; if they are put to the same test that negroes were - put to the first election after the adoption of the “amendment.” That our public, schools; under the present management,, will fail to make good the democratic promises is apparent to any one of ordinary intelligence. I have heard three men of large families of children (within the last three weeks) say that if it were left to a vote of the people, they would vote against pub lic schools. When our schools are managed in such a way as to cause such'comments as the above (from democrats) there is something wrong. ? Let’s hear from others as to the Clarksville school; Let’s boast- the thing, call a meeting, elect officers and get to work. OtJE Interested .

Grant, Jr.. of Mocksville, It was a very quiet wedding, especially on account of a recent death in the family: The hall and parlors were decorated with palms, ferns and cut flowers, and there was assembled a large company of relatives and friends. The marriage service was by Rev. Mr. Shamberger, pastor of Edenton street Methodist churdi, of which Miss Brewster is an accept able and valuable member. There were no attendants. The bride wore a handsome traveling suit of green cloth with hat to match. Her flow ers were brides’ roses. The bridal presents were numerous and hand some. attesting the popularity of the couple in a wide circle of friends. The bride is a young woman of rare accomplishments, highly esteemed wherever, she is known. The groom ,is a son of Mr. A. T. Grant, Clerk of Superior Court of this county, and is a prominent attorney of this city, where he has already won high hon ors, being representative from Da vie in the house of representatives of the present general assembly, Hehas represented the county in the past three-legislatures and is re cognized leader on the republican side of the house.

Here is a simple home-made/mix ture as given by an eminent author* ty on Kidneydiseases1 who makes the statementin a-New Yorfe daily news paper, that it will relieve almost any case of Kidney trouble if taken before the stage of Bright’s ,disease. He states that , such symptoms as lame back, pain in the side, frequent de sire to urinate, especially at night; painful and discolored urination, are readily overcome. Here is the recipe; try it: . ?t. Fluid Extract Dandelion, Orie-Iialf ounce; Compound Kargon1 one ouce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful'.after each meal at bedtime. A well-known druggist here in town is authority that these ingredients are all harmless and easily mixed at home by shaking .well in a bottle. This mixture has a peculiar healing and soothing effect upon the entird Kid ney and Urinary structure, and often overcomes the worst forms of Rheu matism in just a little while. This mixture is said to remove all blood ,disorders arid cure the Kheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter .and strain from the blood and system all uric acid and foul, decomposed waste matter, which cause these afflictions.
