I am sure that death is a pleasant thing— I am sure it is sweet to lie Alone,unmoved from spring to spring. As year by year goes by, And I would go to that happy bed, For my tired spirit’s weal— But there is a heart if I were dead Whose love I could not feel. And if I were sick in body and soul And nothing on earth could cure— Ifmydoom were sealed beyond con trol Andthewreck of my life were sure; If close to the edge of the grave I were pressed By the wrath of the powers above, I would still refuse that longed-for rest That I still might feel that love. The years are long and the miles are long Between me and that love divine, And the heart that beats for me real and strong Will never beat close to mine, But in spite of the miles and all the years And all that the world can give Of blows and sorrows, of sighs and tears, I can feel its power—and live.

C. My mother-in-law haz cum an’ I am havin’ -a pickniek awl the time. I’m powerful bizzy plowin’ cotton land, an’ thatkeapsme erway frum the house most ov the time. That sorter flusters Betsy, tho.’ fer she haint never tliot that I liked her mother az much az I hed orter. When I wiiz cortin’ Betsy her mother wuz sorter down on me. Hit wuz narated eround that her mother sed I’d never set Neuse River afire an’ that she wuz awl- ways naggin’ Betsy ter drop me an’ marry snmbody else. Bnt that didn’t bother me much in them days, ferldidn’t mindoppersishun; in fackt, a fite wuz what I wuz lookin’ fer. I’m fer pease most ov the time now. Ef you will notis rite close you will see that as a rule oppersishun don’t ermouut ter much when hit cums ter courtin’ cnpples. When parents hev a gurl, er sevrel ov ’em, an’ thay air sorter plane lookin’ an’ sum ov ’em hev warts on the side ov ther noses, the best thing thay kin do iz ter ferbid anyone ov marryin’ ov them. Ef a purty nise young feller drifts eround an’ tries ter make eyes at one ov the gurls, thay wanter treet him sorter cool like. After he calls a few times an’ seems like he iz gittin’ sofc headed, thay wanter treet him still cooler, an’, when the time iz ripe fer hit, thay wanter hint ter the gurl heiz sweet-an’ that ef she don’t tell him ter stay erway thay will. Nine times out ov ten this will land him in the family az a son-in-law. An’’ that iz one reason I’m mar ried terday. When I started a- courtin’ I didn’t care so powerful much erbout a wife, but I thot hit wood be fun ter hev a mother-in- law, an’ I didn’t care three beans whither she wanted me fer a son- in-law er not. I am very_ fond ov my mother- in-law even ef I don’t tell Betsy I am. She’must hev snmpthin’ ter wurry over an’ hit mite az well be that az snmpthin’ elce. I recken that iz one reason Betsy woodn’t let me go ter New York ter lam how ter manidge a porch party. She did n’t ax me eny more erbout hit but got sum infermashun on the outside. Hit cum off, an must a bin a big sucksess fer Betsy an’ her mar haint talked erbont enythin’ else sinse. Betsy invited awl the wirnifi in the naberhood an’ she fin’ her mar air tellitt’ each awl the wimin wore an! how the dresses wuz made an’ how ther hats wuz trimmed. When I seed that the party wuz ready ter be pulled I made a ex cuse an’ left home arly arter din ner. I seed that Bob wuz mity resless, .soI rode him up ter Mc- Cullers stashnn an’ talked polly- ticks awl the arternoon. I didn’t git back till dark, an’ awl the vis iters wuz gone home then. I slip ped up ter the house rile eazy arter I put Bob in the stable an’ Betsy an’ her mar wuz talkin’ purty loud an’ at the rate ov three hundeid wurds tor the ffiinit. Betsy ’lows: “E fI wuz Mattie Parker I’d be ershamcd ter bea-warin’silk when her husban’ iz so badly in det now an’ gittin’ deeper in. She orter be sadnrsfide with a nice calerco dress that woodu’t cost one-thurd azmuch.” Her mar sed: “ Well, we wimin don’t git nothin’ but what we eat an’ ware Ier slaviu’ frum mornin’ till nite an’ we mite az well hev the best. But you kin notis the diffrence. Mrs. Smith had on a cheap calerco dress an’ her hus ban’ iz twise az well off oz Mr. Parker.” “Yes,” sed Betsy, “an’ did you take a look at Mrs. Brown’s hat! Hit wuz trimmed in fore differnt culers an’ had a big black feather on the side. That woman- hez a quare taste.” “She wuz awlways a crank on trimmin’ hats,” sed Betsy’s mar. Mrs. Henry hez gude taste erbout her hats an’ everythin’ she wares. Her hat wuz perfeckly luvly; I’d like ter hev one like hit.”. “Yes,” sed Betsy, “she iz a mity neat dresser, an’ so iz Mrs. Watson. That blue siik she had on this af ternoon wuz nice enuff fer enny- body. I wish I hed one like hit.” I seed thay wuz not goin’ ter be any recess, so I walked up on the porch sorter heavy like an, went in, fer I wuz feelin’ like eatin’ sup per. Az soon az I went in thay quit talkin’ dresse3 an’ changed the subjeek. I no thay had made hit up ter do that. “How wuz the porch party!” sez I. “Gran’,” sezBetsy. “I nev er enioyed anythin’ az much in my life,” sed hermar. Yorse az ever, ZEKE BILKINS. Balced sweet apples, with some people, bring prompt .relief for Constipation. With otherf!

Tronblesof the Stom ach, Heart or Kidneys, are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment. Don’t make the common error of treating symptoms only. Symptom treatment is treating. the result of your ailment, and not the cause. Weak Stomach nerves—the inside nerves—neans Stomach weakness, always. And the Heart, and Kid neys as well,- have their controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerves, and you invariably have weak vital organs. Here is where Dr. Shoop’s Restorative has made its fame. No other remedy even claims to treat the “inside nerves.” Also the floating billionsness, bad breath or complexion, use Dr. Shc-op’s Restorative. Write for my free book now. Dr. Shoep’s Re storative sold by C. C. Sanford Sons Co. all-wheat bread will have the same effect. Mature undoubtedly has a vegetable remedy to relieve every«aiiment known to man, if physicians can but find Nature's way to health. And this is strikingly true with regard to Constipation.The bark of a certain tree in California—Cas- cam Sagrada—offers a most excellent aid to this end. But, combined with Egyptian Senna, Slip, pery Elm Bark, Solid Extract of Prunes, etc., this same Cascara bark is given its greatest possible power to correct constipation. A toothsome ^ndy Tablet, called Lax-ets, is now made at the Dr. Shoop Laboratories, from this ingenuous and most effective prescription. Its effect on Constipation. Biliousness. Sour Stomach, Bad Breath. Sallow Complexion, etc., is indeed prompt and satisfying.No* griping, no unpleasant after effects are experienced, and Lax-ets are put up in beautiful lithographed metal boxes at 5 cents and 25 cents per box.For something new, nice, economical and effective, try a box of L a x -e ts C.

A MASS MEETING. Thomasville Times. A mass meeting of the citizens of Thomasville, who are in favor of a “public spirited, progressive, industrious and conservative” tick etfor Mayor and Commissioners, is hereby called to meet in the opera house, Monday night, April 29th, at 7:30, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Mayor and Commissioners, Let’s leave politics out of our town government, come together and adopt a “public spirited, pro gressive, industrious and conserva tive” platform as a guide for such board. Let the “dead past” be buried, and all pull together for the upbuilding of the town. J. A. Elliott, Major. We publish the above to show that Thomasville, a town of 3000 or 4000 population is getting out of partizan politics in its town officers, and all the people are pulling to gether to build up their town. If our people would consult the best interests of our town’s future we would get together and nominate a citizen’s ticket. Partizauship in our town has gone to seed; it seems that there are some few who are awfully anxious to hold a little twenty dollar a year job, regard less of what is best for our town. The future will prove the wis dom of our position, and we will continue to stand up and advocate that which we think is best, re gardless of the results. Mr. A.- M- McGIamery for Mayor of Mocksville. Special to the Observer. Mocksville, April 28.—In the Democratiomunicipal primary held here last evening the following ticket was nominated: For mayor, A. M. McGlamery, commissioners, J. T. Baity, V. E. Swaim, G. E. Horn. R. P. Anderson and J. B. Johnstone. An election has been ordered by the board of aldermen for May 7th, for the purpose of voting on a $5,000 bond issue and a special tax for the establishment of a graded school, provided for in a special act of the last legislature. The above appeared in Monday’s Charlotte Observer. We wonder “ who writ it!” Never heard of a municipal primary in Mocksville until we read the above. There are something like 80 or more Demo crats in the town of Mocksville, and there were 17 votes cast for MayOr in the court room Saturday evening. OILED AND GREASED—CUT AND DRIED. The Democratic convention was held in the ceurthouse Saturday evening, and the machine showed that it was well oiled and in running order. Mr. Jacob Stewart called the convention to order and after stating the object of the meeting to the 18 or 20 Democrats, placed in nomina tion Dr. W. C. Martin for temporary chairman and Mr. T. J. Byerlyfor secretary. On motion of Dr. Rod- well the temporary organization was made permanent. Dr. Martin, in taking the chair, announced that the business of the meeting having been stated, the nomination of a candidate for mayor was in order, and appoint ed Messrs. W. A. Owens and E. E. Huntas tellers, who proceeded to wait upon the crowd; mind you, no one had been placed in nomination, but the little printed, cut and dried ballots ground out 16 for A. M. Me- Glamery and I for J. L. Clement. The next in order was five Candi dates for town commissioners, and before any nominations could be made the tellers had made part of the round, but the doctor called a halt, and asked for nominations, and Dr. Rodwell arose and with one of those little “ante” prepared and printed ballots read off the following names: J. B. Johnstone, R. P. An derson, J. T. Baity, V. E. Swaim and G. E. Horn, and the well oiled ma chine turned them out, and the above is the ticket the Democrats expect you voters to put in on the 7th of May. One thing we noticed, some of the Democrats waited on when the ballots were being cast for may or, declined to ante. There is one thing we would like to know, and we think the people of Mocksville have a right to know, whether, if the persons nominated for commissioners are elected, will they sustain and uphold the previ ous action of the old board? Ererytliing tor Food. CHINESE STRIPPED OF ALL TO KEEP FROM STARVING. The Democratic papers say that Senator Simmonshas announced that he will shortly call the executive com mittee together and tender his res ignation. One of the reasons assign ed for his course is, that he does not want to be in a position where it might appear that he was attempt ing to influence the nomination of any particular candidate next year. Great Caesar’s ghost! Why didn’t Senator Chairman Simmons think of the seeming impropriety of his hold ing this position last year when his own election was at stake? He has the coon now for six years, and his sense of propriety is very acute, to be sho! to be sho! FAMINE IS TERRIBLE. If a Democrat asks yon to vote against the graded school next Tuesday, ask him this question: Did hot the Democrats in 1900 piomise the people if the amend ment was adopted that no white boy Bhonld be disfranchised for want of an education; that they would educate them before 1908. Well, 1908 comes next year; have they kept their promise!

Shanghai , April 23.—Telegrams received by the relief committee to day from a number of additional famine districts report that thfe dis tress is growing worse. Some of the sufferers are contending against fever or smallpox in addition to lack of food. Among the incidents re lated is that of a boy who applied for aid whose face was so plump that at first assistance was denied him, but later it was shown that his body was greatly emaciated, the plump ness of his face being due to starva tion. Astarving man choked him self to death by swallowing almost a whole biscuit which had been given to him by a casual visitor. A woman with three children was found weep ing on a bridge where her husband had fallen dead from starvation. A husband, wife and their five children were discovered in a house starving to death huddled together clothed in rags. The bark of trees had been their only food. The gratitude of the poor people who are given relief is very touching. The Need of a Door. In Rockville, Md., each year there is held a series of races “for all comers.” On one such occa sion the sun was blazing down on a field of hot,' excited horses and men, all waiting for a tall, raw- boned beast to get into line. The patience of the starter was nearly exhausted. “Bring up that horse!” he shouted. “Bring him up The rider of the refractory beast yelled back: “I can’t help it! This here’s been a cab horse and he won’t start till the door shuts, and I ain’t got no door!” Oldpapersforsaleatthe Rexxird office. _________ Don’t forget that the election for the graded school comes off Tuesday, May 7th. Free Supplies Have -to Be Refused Those Who Have Any Property. Shanghai , April 16,—Investiga tion shows that the plans of the fam ine relief committee are admirable. There has been no leakage of the funds administered by foreigners. A house to house inspection has re sulted in 90,000 families, totaling 500,000 famine sufferers, being en rolled by the committee, which is at tempting to provide food for them until the harvest. Additions to the list of families will be made only when the funds available justify it. Three kinds of relief tickets are is sued; first, free food tickets, which are not issued unless the family has absolutely no money, food or pawn- able articles and its members are too weak to work;, second, where they are physically able, one member of each destitute family is given work which is paid for in food; third, the Chinese government is paying to some families one and one-half cents per day. Tickets are given to these families entitling them, to purchase famine supplies at cost. Food is furnished to ticket holders at the re lief sub-centers at stated times. Of ten the thatch roofs and timbers of houses are sold and families, because they had a table left, have been re fused relief and, utterly discour aged, have committed suicide. Gadiering Crumbs of Wisdom. A newly elected justice in Wis consin was much elated by his hon ors, but was not sure that he conld carry them gracefully. So he haunted the courthouse for weeks that he might gather up crumbs of wisdom from the judicial table of the higher station. Finally he sat in judgment on his first case and when the testimony was all in and the argument made he said: “The court takes this case under advisement until next Wednesday morning, when it will render a ver dict in favor of the defendant.” Why was Mr. F. M. Johnson, who has served the town so faithfully as secretary and treasurer, left off the Democratic ticket last Saturday? He earned the small allowance made No man they may elect will fill the place more acceptably than has he. $5*000 Increase. The receipts of the Raleigh dis pensary for the first quarter of the present year were $70,000, which is $5,000 more than the receipts for the corresponding period of last year. The temperance legislature was in session in Raleigh during the first quarter of this year. Is it. possible they could have added $5,000 to the profits of the dispen sary?—Caucasian.

Au officer of the army tells how Major \V hippie, of the second Mas sachusetts regiment, a veteran of the civil war, hastened to Wash ington when the Spanish war broke out-, and offered his services to President McKinley, But all officers, as well as men, had to undergo physical examina tion, and it was stated to Major Whipple , that be would have to place himself in the hands of the examining doctors at Worcester. Now, Major Whipple, while a man of great bodily strength and perfect health and activity, was little deficient in the matter of teeth. An examining surgeon pro posed to exclude him on that ac count. Whereupon the major waxed wroth. “Damn it, gentlemen,” said he, “I’m going to Cuba to shoot Spaniards, not so eat ’em!” The major went.—Exchange. HE FOUGHT AT GETTYSBURG. David Parker, of Fayette, N.

Crimson clover is a crop th quires inoculation in some this country, when first sow less inoculation is furnished, ing a very poor showing; win subsequent sowings on the land, or the sowing“of Tnocnlateit seed, will show a wonderful differ ence. in crop results. Inoculated crimson clover is not necessary in this section, and it succeeds all right without inoculation through out the Atlantic seaboard. For alfalfa it seems almost nec essary to furnish inoculation, nearly all throughout the south. Another prime requisite for the alfalfa crop is that the land must contain plenty of vegetable matter, in order to be snccessfnl in growing the crop, and a good many of our farmers are of the opinion that it is useless to attempt to get good crops of alfalfa except by the use of inoculation and the use of plen ty of stable manure for the proper enrichment of the soil. Another requisite for alfalfa is that itshould always be sown on tbe land that contains a porous or gravelly sub soil that the roots can penetrate. Alfalfa is a deep-rooting plant, and will not give its best results unless sown on soil of this character.— Wood’s Crop Special. I, NOTICE.

The Lurking Grudge. Here is a story from real life in which the actors were people well known to the writer of this tale. It is a story of unforgiveness, and a longestrangementwhich for more than twenty years kept a mother and her only daughter apart. The actors were farming people, who lived in one of the middle States. The family was a small one, con sisting of the owner of the farm, his widowed sister, and a young . d a u g h t e r .— opens, the daughter was only six teen years of age. Shewasabright and handBome girl, the idol of her mother and uncle, who was to her as a father. The mother was a proud woman with high ambitions for her daugh ter. Her own life had been sad dened by an unhappy marriage, and her endeavor was to guard her child from a like disaster. There came rumors hinting of her daugh ter’s wrong-doing. These were sift ed to the bottom, and it was dis covered that the young girl had made a clandestine marriage with a hired laborer on an adjoining farm. There was nothing agaiust the young mau’s character, except that he was poor and did not come of as good a family as that of the girl he had married. When she knew the truth, the mother refused to have anything to do with her daughter. The un cle was more forgiving and helped the young couple in every way pos sible, but mother and daughter, though for some time living within a short distance of each other, were as strangers The mother refused all overtures of reconciliation. If she happened to meet her daughter'she turned away without speaking, and remained, to outward appearances, unconscious of her child’s existence. The first years of the young couple’s married life were years of hardship and struggle. The moth er may not have known of her daughter’s need, as she had forbid den the speaking of her name in her presence, but however it may have been, she did not try to help, either with words of comfort, or monetary assistance. The young couple worked hard together to make a home for themselves and their little children, until the young wife received a legacy from a rela tive that enabled her husband to buy a good farm in another part of the State, and to set - them well on their way to prosperity. The same relative willed the rest of his fortune to the farmer and his sister, putting them beyond the reach of financial anxiety for the rest,; of their lives. The mother moVjed into tne city and began to enjoy the pleasures that money will buy. Her brother preferred to remain on the farm, where be lived a quiet, peaceful life, filled with just the right proportion of labor and leisure. The years wore away, bringing no change in the division between mother and daughter. Theolder woman sent handsome gifts to the grandchildren she had never seen, but neitherin sickness nor in health would she consent to go to her daughter or permit her daughter to come to her. The wound to her pride was so deep, that unforgive ness had become a fixed habit which she could not break. The eldest child of her daughter, a son, grew to young manhood without ever seeing his grandmother. “I wish I could see grandmother for once,” he said wistfully, “I be lieve I could bring her and mother together,” but his wish was not fulfilled. Age stole upon the unforgiving woman, and ill-health held her a prisoner in the house. Haying thrust away the love - and devotion that might have been hers., she was dependent upon her friends for cqiafort and companionship. She was a -pleasant, whole souled wo man, the last one in the world from whjom such long enduring bitter ness would have been expected, and her friends were glad to give heij their attention, but there is a difference between the ministra tioils of friends—no matter how true and devoted—and those of ‘own folios’ who hold you dear. And because her friends were so fond of her, at different times, when the presence of the daughter seem ed i Imost a necessity, they tried to pen iuade the mother to send word for her to come, but their efforts werp of no avail, A1 short time ago the other mem ber of the family, the kindly uncle and brother who bad stayed on the farnji. died after a short illness. He bear cheerfully the forgetfulness of others. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our ene mies. Bless us, if if may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not, give us the strength to en counter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving one to another.” had aud been fondly loved by his sister as fondly loved his niece, to who: se home he had been a frequent ,jmft-Wssjly-jvsJeOmed visitor. The grief brought by his death softened the sister to forgiveness of her daughter. Life, for her, was grow ing short, she may have thought, and she longed to speak or send the word which should bring her daugh ter to her side. That which she had so many times refused, became her dearest wish, but she was a slave to the pride that had kept her silent for so long. Fortunately there was a friend to cross the breach and speak the words which the mother could not utter. The daughter came to the town where her mother lived, to follow her uncle’s body to its last resting place. The mother, prevented from this office by her physical dis abilities, waited at home, longing for, and yet hall dreading the hour which should bring her daughter. *,( SjC -Jh ?|C rfC jfC The rest of the story does not re quire telling. What they said to each other when they came togeth er none will ever know, but, after many years, their friends rejoice that they are reunited. It was bet ter for this to come at so late a day than never to have come at all, but the pity of it lies in the vanished years which might have been brightened by love and companion ship between mother and daughter. It seems scarcely necessary to point out the lesson which may be learned from this story, but you may read its message, if you will, in this little prayer for friends, written by Robert Louis Stevenson: “Purge out of every heart the lurking grudge. Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Offenders, give us grace to accept and to forgive offenders.

A preacher came at a newspaper man in this way: “You editors do not tell the truth. If you did you could not live; your paper would be a failure.” Theeditor replied: “You are right, and the minister who will at all times and under all circumstances tell the whole truth about these members alive or dead will not occupy his pulpit more than one Sunday, and then he will find it necessary to leave town in a hurry. rl’he press and pulpit go haDd in hand with white-wash brushes and pleasant words, mag nifying little virtues into big ones. The pulpit, the pen and the grave stone are the great saint-making triumvirates,” And the great min ister turned away looking very thoughtful, while the editor turned to his work, and told of the unsur passing beauty of the bride, while in fact she was as homely as a mud fence.—Exchange. Is the above true? We hope not, but are aware.that there are many editors and preachers who fail to rise to the proper .conception of their duty for fear of giving offense, The editor or preacher who tries to praise everybody has missed his calling and is a blank failure. The great question is it right to do one’s duty? Is it right to speak out loud and long agaiust the crimes and misconduct of public officials? Is it right to stand up and be count ed on the side of right? Does it pay to shut our eyes to our duty as guardians of the people’s rights, and passively glide along with the current for fear we will give of fense to wrong-doers? The editor and preacher who does so is a fail ure, and a disgrace to his calling, and does not deserve the moral and financial support of his people. For shame there are such in both callings, but the people are finding them out, and their days of useful ness are passing, and when the end comes they cannot console them selves with the . pleasureable' thought of having lived for the right, and for the good of the peo ple whose rights they failed to stand up and defend, and whose wrongs they feared to expose and denounce. We should dare to do right, let the consequences be what they may. A moral caward is the most contemptable and de spicable of beings in human form. Call at our store, please, for a free sample of Dr. Shoop’s “Health Coffee.” If real coffee disturbs your Stomach, your Heart, or Kid neys, then try this Clever Coffee imitation. While Dr. Shoop has very closely matched Old Java and Mocha Coffee in flavor and taste, yet he has not even a single grain of real Coffee in it. Dr.- Shoop’s Health Coffee Imitation is made from pure toasted grains or cereals, with Malt, Huts, etc. You will surely like Health Coffee. Sold by C. C. Sanford Sons Co. Schnapps Tobacco Is Made EHIIiELY from Flue Cured Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country. Tbe Imitation Brands Have Schnapps Quality Only On the Outside / . » Of the Plug Hundreds of imitation brands are on sale that look like Schnapps to bacco. The outside of the imitation plugs of tobacco is flue cured the same as Schnapps, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco. One chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such to bacco. The color, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof , has been secured to establish the fact that certain brands are infringements and in vio lation of the trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to be imposed upon by these infringers until the suit already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided. A great many of these imitations are claimed to be “just as good” as Schnapps, but there is only one gen uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters on the tag, and stamped on the plug under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S and then you have it—the most wholesome tobacco produced, with just enough sweetening to preserve the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, re quires and takes less sweetening than any other and has a wholesome, stim ulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the tobacco you are chewing don’t satisfy you more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers formerly bought costing from 75c. to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound, in 5c. cuts, strictly 10c. and 15c: plugs. ! R . J .

There’s a gypsy sort o’ feelin’ a-blowin’ in the air An’a-teasin’ me to follow—doesn’t matter—any where— Just a-movin’ with the wind in a happy kind o’ way, Like the flowers an’ the birds, cornin’ out to sing an’ play. Such a warm, contented feelin’—a-lazin’ in the sun— Like there couldn’t be a thing on earth a-needin’ to be done. I’m iust so tired o’ thinkin’ an’ hurryin’ an’ work—Seems like the spring was laughin’ an’ a-tellin’ me to shirk. But the best of all the feelin’s that-I notice in the spring Is a friendly sort o’ likin’ for every blessed thing— There’s no one I’m a-enyyin’, an’ no one I’m above— ’Cause I’m just a-livin’ life, and I’m just a-lovin’ love!

HORRIBLE CONDITIONS in CHINA ARE REPORTED. $10,000,000 Needed to Keep People AIire Until Harvest in June. Shanghai, (Special)—Telegrams received here from twenty points in the famine district report that the conditions are growing* worse. The Chinese government and the people up to date have' contribut ed over $4,000,000 for famine re lief, and the sums received from all foreign sources total half a mil lion dollars, including the supplies on their way here from America TJie Chinese viceroy and govern ment telegraphed to the American consul, Mr. Bodgers, their thanks for the relief sent, saying that it is dissipating the anti-foreign sen la ment which animated the masses; There are fifty missionaiies with the higher class of Chinese engaged in overseeing the relief distribu tion. Confucianists, Catholics aud Prothstants are working together. The telegraph officials are carrying free all messages to and from the relief workers and the steamship companies are furnishing free trans portation for supplies of food, etc., for the sufferers. Twenty thous and famine sufferers are employed in building dams and canals to pieve’nt a recurrence of the floods. The relief committee here is promptly sending supplies to the front, but the funds are nearing exhaustion. All the relief meas ures adopted up to date are inade quate. Ten million persons are suffering from inadequate supplies of food and three million are near ing starvation. The members of the committee at the front report that they find the bodies of suffer ers bloated and their faces turn green or black as the result o( starvation. Whole families have been found dead in their bouses, and corpses are seen lying by the roadside. ProbabIyfivetKousand persons are dying daily of starva tion. A few cases of rioting for food havie occurred and cannibalism is beginning to be reported. Newly made graves have been rifled of the bodies, and parents are exchang ing their children to be eaten. A dollar, the relief committee reports, will save one life until the harvest June 25th, and $10,000,000 is needed. The whole amount can not be raised in China. The situ ation is desperate.

But the Designer never forgets its purpose of being a magazine of prac tical use about the house both tor the women and men of the family.* It makes no strain after either facts or fiction aimed to startle its readers, but with conservative enterprise, con stantly offers articles of every-day use in running the house and the fam ily, and in improving the present con dition of both.

Clark, of Westfield, Iowa, “for my rescue from death, by Dr. King’s New Discovery. Both lungs were so seriously affected that death seemed imminent, when I com menced taking New Discovery. The ominous dry, backing cough quit before the first bottle was used and two more bottles made a com plete cure.” Nothing has ever equaled New Discovery for coughs, colds and all throat and Inng com plaints, Guaranteed by C.

The newspaper party “organs” of the State are making some se vere criticisms lately. They are not criticising anybody who has truckled and bowed down under the party lash, and has been loyal (t)t to the various Democratic prin ciples that have been tacked up to the mast pole of the Democratic ship during its tempestuous sail over the changing billows of first the gold standard and then free silver, then again over the gold standard wave and up to the foot of railroad ownership wave. They are not criticising the pliant and useful party slave (who is the sal vation of moss-back demagogues) who changes his political convic tions every time the party bosses tell him to change. With the par ty “organs” that kind of folks never come in for criticism. The thing that they have been severely condemning is that Mayor McNinch, of Charlotte, has beea re-elected by the primary for a second term in spite of the fact that he voted for President Eoosevelt three years ago, and will do so again if he gets an opportunity. They think it’s “just awfttl” that a thing like that should happen in a Democratic city and they have read Mr. Mc- ,Ninch out of the party with a ven geance. Now, if according to party rules, Mr. McNinch is readout of his party for voting for a man who was not a Democrat, we submit that under the same rules the hun dreds of Democrats who voted for Mr. McNinch with the full knowl edge that he is a Boosevelt man, must also be read out of the party. And it might be appropriate to gently whisper into the ears of the party managers and tell them that the election returns in recent years will not justify them in reading anybody out of their party, it mat ters not how much he scratches his ticket, foi it is a fact known of all men that the Democratic party is not possessed of enough voters to wilfully kick them out, even if the provocation does seem like it’s a little more than the said party managers can stand. The old moss-back partisans who have wielded such power over tbeir constituents in former years, can not realize that timesliave changed and we are- confronted with new conditions—conditions that make blind'partizen zeal disgusting and independence a virtue. In this age of rural delivery and much reading, when men stay at home and study and do their own think ing, and refuse to rally up under the exciting influence of the warm air emitted through the heads of designing political oiators, the at mosphere is heavily charged with a spirit of independence that did not exist under former conditions —and this is what hurts the old partisan moss-backs and they are certainly dying a hard death. The refusal to attend party ral lies, get excited and whoopc ’em up, is mistaken by managers to mean political apathy or iudillerence on the part of those who fail to mani fest the desired party zeal. Inde pendence in politics can not' be properly called political apathy;. The fact that a man has become in telligent enough to detect the shams in his own party signifies the oppo site of indifference. But may be the party managers will learn some time to adjust themselves to the new and better conditions of poli tics.—Our Home, GLINTS. Fleas are backbiters. . Men are empty when full.

Uncle Eph was before the court on the same old charge. After the evidence was all in the judge, with a perplexed look, said: “But I can not comprehend, Ephraim, how it waa possible for you to steal those chickens when they were roosting right under the owner’s window, and there were two vicious dogs in the yard.” “It wouldn’t do you a bit o’ good, jedge, for me to ’splain how I cotch- ed ’em.”said Eph, solemnly; “you couldn’t do it if yer tried forty times, and yer might git a hide full of buckshot de bery fust time yer put a leg ober de fence.

Parmer, wild is known personally—and to their advantage —to more Becord readers than to anybody, learned the following al phabet in his youth. Probably, if some of our young people will learn it now they will turn out to be as strong and useful as he: A -A boy who feels timid about doing anything mean is far from being a coward. B—Be prompt in all your school engagements, that you may learn "td*be. prompt in all of your busi ness engagements. C—Conquer your bad habits, just as you conquer hard problems in arithmetic-; the former is more important than the latter. D-Do not-eat: after your appetite is satisfied,'we are more apt to ovei-eat than to eat too little. E—Every time a.boy lies he belit tles hiniself, not only in the eyes of his school-mates, but also in his own-estimatiou. F—First make up your mind what you desire to do, be sure it- is • right, then do it, be i.t ever so difficult.. O—Get not in the way of cackling, even a donkey knows better. H—Hasty tempers break good reso lutions. ■I—If ever unjust be honest enough to admit it. J-Join hands with no man who loves not his own country. K-Keep pennies, and you will never want for dollars. L—Laziness and carelessness are twins: .... M— Make no promise-you cann?1 ■ keep. N-Never resign a position until • you have secured a better one. ' O—Object to be lead into what you know to be wrong. R— Profanity has never made a gentleman, and has ruined thou sands. . • Q—Quarrels are like eggs--they grow worse with age. , / R—Eefuse to do a. mean act, be it ever so small. S—Sympathy makes stronger and better friends than gold, ^Kfer or flattery.

SCHNAPPS has been advertised in this paper so that every chewer has had an opportunity ..to get acquainted with the facts and know that drugs are not used to produce the cheering quality found in the famous Piedmont country flue-cured tobaccos, and that SCHNAPPS is what he ought to chew. Still there are chewers who accept other and cheaper tobaccos that do not give the same pleasure. Some day they’ll get a taste of the real Schnapps —they’ll realize what enjoyment they’ve missed by not getting SCHNAPPS long, ago—then they’ll feel like kicking themselves. SCHNAPPS is sold everywhere in 5 cent cuts, and 10 and IS cent plugs.

We sat in the perfect moonlight; - The stars were dim and rare, And above us the elm trees rustled In the waves of the cold night air. From the olives and vineyard near us The kiou-owl plaintively cried, And away o’er the misty hollows . Its mate with a wail replied. The peasant sang in the distance, The watchdog barked at the star, ;. And the clack of the cradles beat ing the hemp Came faint from the farms afar. . We talked of the times of childhood, Of the days forever flown, Of the games and their jests and their sorrows. And the playmates we had known. And then there came o’er us a silence While the cypress sighed o’erhead. And dreaming we sat and listened To the voices of the dead. Bank of Cooleemee. Cooleemee, N. C. J. B. MASOfT, President. J.

The green louse that was inthi oats seems to have disappeared, but the damage done will make much of it turn to cheat. Every seed after its kind, and many peo ple cannot understand why there is so much cheat at places in the same field, and from the same kind of seeds; if they will remember that cheat is faulty oats and smut is faulty wheat, they will have no more trouble along this line. Cotton is looking very unprom- •j-isiiig—slow about coming lip, and much of what is up is dying. Warmerweather would be much help to it. The Whitney works at the Nar rows are nearing completion; prop erty along the south Tadkin road is increasing in value; already a lot has been leased at Rockwell to build a factory to be run by the electric power from the river.

Boston, May 20.—Accordingto advices from the leading cotton mill centers of Southern New Eng- ..Iand fully. 85,000 operatives will have their wages advanced about 10 per cent, beginning Monday, May 27th. The latest upward movement in mill wages originated in FaU River, where a new agree ment recently announced provides for a higher schedule May 27th. About 30,000 hands are employed by Fall River mills. -Nearly 25,000operatives in New Bedford wiU also receive a 10 per cent, advance, announcement of which waB made yesterday. In Providence mill circles, it is stated that practically every cotton mill in-Rhode Island will increase wages, probably about 10 per cent, on May 27th, or a week later. The action of the Rhode Island mill owners will affect about 25,000 em ployes. - It is also expected that other places which invariably follow the Fall River or Rhode Island weav ing lists will shortly post notices of the advance. We heard a Democrat say some time ago that everything was going up but wages. If wages have not advanced even in this country more rapidly than products we are un able to judge. The scarcity of labor and the increased price is too self-evident to discuss. The above shows Jtbat the tendency is still upward. \ ' A SIGNIFICANT PRAYER./ - “May the Lord help you make Bucklen’s Arnica Salve known to all, ” writes J. G. Jenkins, of Chap el Hill, N.

Williams, of Smith Grove, passed away in the year of his age ■ Mr. Williams, about 28 years ago. ras badly hurt in a runaway at ilisbury; was thrown from his bug gy and received in juries at that time which the doctors thought brought about the complications which re sulted in his death.

To Mrs. Wil liams and his nephew, Roy Williams, he left the bulk of his estate estimat ed to be worth $25,000 to $30,000. To Mrs. Williams, the widow, he left the home place and eight thousand dollars in cash; the balance- of his- real estate, together with eight thou sand dollars, he left to his .-nephew, Roy Williams; to each of his broth ers and sisters $1,000 each, and to three of his nieces and one -nephew, $1,000 each, and to Kelly Spry $100, the balance of his estate, after pay ing all debts and erecting tomb stones to his father and mother’s grave, is to be equally divided be tween his widow and' nephew. Roy Williams. Joseph W. Kimbrough and J. L.. Sheek were named as the executors of his last will. His re mains were laid to rest at Smith Grove.

The doctor was bom in Davidson county Jbut had lived the most of his lifevn this county, at Jerusalem. The Svriter has known him since early boyhood, he was the family physician for years, in truth as long as theffamily remained on the old homestead, and we shall always think pleasjntly of him. He was a remspbdble maii; had one of tbe-fineat memories of any Q bser v er .—-|-fuaifwe ever knew. He was ^ safe and painstaking physician, and en joyed the confidence of the people of the entire section in which he practiced. Dr. Wiseman belonged to the old school, and when called in to see a patient, was slow to try any experi ments; in other words if he could not help-you, you could depend upon his doing you no harm. His remains were laid to rest at Jerusalem. To the widow and daugh ter we extend our deepest sympathy. A good man, a useful citizen, a faith ful husband and father has gone to his reward.

To Thee they have appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support which thou alone canst give. Take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, unto Tby nurturing care. Give them wisdcm in council and valor in the field. Defeat the malice of our ad versaries; convince them of the un righteousness of their course and if they still persist in their sanguina ry purpose, let the voice of Thine own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of bat tle. Be Thou present, O God, of wisdom, and Airect the councils of this honorable assembly. Enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundations, that the scenes of blood may be ■. Bpeedily closed, and order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety prevail and flourish among Thy’people. Preserve the health of their bodies and the vigor of their minds; shower down upon them and the millions they repre sent; such temporal blessings as Thou seest- expedient for them in thiB world, and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come.

North Carolina Comminioner of Labor Recommendation*. 1st. That enactment of a com-, pulsory school law, or that provis ion be made for a submission of this question to the qualified voters of each county, town, or township at the earliest date convenient to the authorities and the people, giv ing due time for a proper presenta tion of the subject to those who are to pass upon the question. AU children between the ages of six-: and fourteen years should attend regularly every year the public schools of their respective neighbor hood. 2nd. That no child who is not able to read intelligently and write legibly be permitted to work in: any mill or factory, unless a wid owed mother or totally disabled father is dependent upon the labor of such child, and has no. other means of support. And that no child under fourteen years of age be permitted to work in any facto ry between the hours of 7 p. in and 6 a. m. 3rd. ThatnotexceedinglOhours shall constitute the maximum day’s work in the State for aU manufac turing establishments.~ Such a re= quirement would be nothing more than simple justice to mill opera tives, and will-not retard the prog ress of any industry in the State, v 4th. That all manufacturers and other agencies, of whatsoever kind, addressed for information by1 the Department in the compilation of its annual report, be required to answer promptly each question fully and accurately to the best of their knowledge and belief. 5th. That adequate provision be made to enlarge the usefulness of this Department; especially would Iemphasize the justice of an in crease in the salary of the. Assist ant Commissioner to not less tban $1,400, on account of the addition al and exacting duties required at his hands. 6th. That the law. designating the Commissioner of Labor and Printing as Inspector of Mines be repealed, or sufficient appropria^ tion be made to carry out the pro visions. FLOWERS. Many a-man has his: coffin cov ered up with, flowers whose heart was. breaking for a little rosebud whilehe was alive. If you have any boquets, for Christ’s sake send them In before the undertaker gets in the game., A dead-man has about as much use for flowers as a side-saddle has for two. stirrups.-— Forsyth Hews. > There is too much truth contain- ed in the above; it shows how cruel, beings, who are made in the image off he-Creator, are, and how little there is ’of the genuine article of humanity. Theweary travelleron his journey over the rough and of ten almost impassable roads is giv en no kind word, no cheerful greet ing, as he passes along the high way of life, his efforts for others -are not: appreciated, and often his motives are impugned, but when the journey is over; and be has laid down his burden, a set of human beings, claiming divine ori gin, but clothed in robes of hypoc- racy,:igather' around 'the lifeless form, and speak: of his goodness, and heap his coffin and grave with the'sweet flowers denied him in life. Such is life among the civi lized and so-called Christians of the present day. Advantage* From Green Crop*. Among the advantages gained with green crops are .the accumu lation of Bitrogen in a soil, the ren dering soluble of unavailable min^ eral matter, the protection of the soil with covered crops, the addi tion of large amounts of - hnmus- formimg material to the land, and the mechanical changes in the. soil. The only disadvantage is the loss of the land, upon which a market able crop can be grown during, the year, its value depending upon the kind of crop and the capacity of the soil. Among’the other green crops that are seldom used may be mentioned corn, millett, turnips, rape, sorghum, soy beans, etc., but the-crimson clover and cow pea crops are preferred. It is claimed that turnips, by reason of their deep penetrating roots,: appropri ate a large proportion of the min- eral elements of the subsoil, which are brought to the surface when they are plowed under, thuB fol lowing cow peas as an aid, increas ing the amount of available min eral matter, especially phosphates, but the nitrogen from the cow peas is a clear gain to the farmer, being derived from the atmosphere, while the mineral'matter is taken from the lower portions of the lands and brought within his reach. Any method, however, that renders the plant foods in the soil more avail able should be adopted. Green foods perform valuable service in assisting to increase the supply of humus, which enables the soil to retain moisture. k il l ™, c o u g h ANK CURE TOP LUNGS WITH!Dr. King’s New Discovery « * c ...............

Times are changed, said Mark Twain, speaking of Washington, We doubt if nowadays a man of Washington’s unswerving integrity would be able to get on. A rich lawyer, after dinner the other night went to his den for a smoke. He took from.' his pipe rack-a superb meerschaum, a Christmas present from his wife; but, alas, as he started to fill the pipe, it came apart in his hands. The bowl had been broke in 'two and then care lessly stuck together. With loud growls of rage the lawyer rushed from his den and demanded to know who had broken his new meerschaum. His only son, a boy of 11, spoke up bravely . “Father,’’ he said-, “I cannot teU a lie, I did it.” . The lawyer praised the boy’s Washingtonian veracity, but that night, on his pillow, he groaned and went on terribly about the in cident. “Heaven help me,” he said,“ it had been my life’s dearest wish to rear up'my son to my own profes sion, but now—alas—alas—” The Humui Shield. The near approach of Decoration day caused Admiral. Dewey, at a recent dinner, to praise the bravery of the AmeriiSn troojis during the Ciyil war. “Both sides alike were brave,” he said, “north and south, soldiers and sailors. And the bravery of the raw recruits was a thing to be seen to be believed. There used to be circulated; though, a good story about a Connecticut recruit. ThiB young man, after he had gofe^ ten initiated, fought heroicdiiyf but in his first engagement he was very nervous. A chum of his was in the line ahead of him, and when the bullets began to fly the chum began to dodge. Thereupon the recruit shouted excitedly: ■ “Hey, Jim, don’t duck. I’m be hind ye.” D uger in Cigerettei. Herbert Seerist, aged 16 years, died in Detroit a few days ago from thp excessive use of Cigarettes. A postmortem conducted by three physicians showed the boy’s heart was almost twice its. normal size, and that all the muscles of the heait were degenerated. Dr. Wick ham, one of the physicians, said: “The case should be a great moral lesson to all users of cigarettes,” and shortly before the boy died he expressed the hope that he might live so that he could warn other boys not to smoke cigarettes. Young Seerist was a bright, keen-minded boy when he entered the eighth grade at school. It was there he began smoking cigarettes. He became stupid, conld not make .progress'in bis studies, and finally had to be taken away from school. The habit became firmly fixed'and the boy killed himself by excessive smoking. Every city has its army of boys who smoke cigarettes. Itis a dan gerous thing to do aside from be ing extremely obnoxious. Many tsiness firms and corporations, including some railway companies, have strict rules prohibiting their employes from smoking cigarettes. The habit clouds the mind, dwarfs the intellect and in .time blunts moral responsibility. There is one safe coarse to pur sue with reference to cigarettes, it is the Same as should be pursued with reference to all intoxicants— leave them alone. • A Poor Speller. Thomas A.. Edison criticised at Atlantic Gity a scientific writer. “He is a fine chap,” said the in ventor, “but he knows nothing ing about machinery.

The child is ' not seriously hurt. But for the appearance of its moth er the probabilities are that the wretch would have killed her or accomplished- his purpose. He is now, and has been, a town- Bhip constable for Marks- Creek to w n sh ip , Richmond couuty, for several years. Officers are now af ter him and the probabilities are' he will be caught soon. Sentiment is very much against him and full justice will be given him when he comes to trial. It is a deplorable affair. Some time today Crowson “stepped into town, secured his horse aad buggy and fled again. He lives just in the edge of town, and near the woods, which made it easy for him to evade the officers.—Charlotte Observer. We publish the above to show what kind of, men the good govern ment Democrats of Riichmond coun ty keep in office. How can we ex pect" the people to respect and mp- hold the law when such brutes are kept in office. We dare say he was a. regular red-shirter, yet he ' has been kept in office for years. One report of this affair says that he was a tough citizen % yet he was clothed with.official authority and put iq a position to aid in uphold ing the law. The time has come when the people.should demand only good men for . office^ men who ■ ■ will do their duty in enforcing the law;: and sire themselves -good citi zens. Tou cannot expect much of :' a bad man in any position, and the. people should no longer tolerate such in either party. A SIGNIFICANT PRAYER.

Sanford’s drug store, THE CHINESE FAMINE 'ATretchedness Has Reached Its' Deepest Depths in the Stricken .Region. .' There is no abatement ia the dreadful Chinese famine which confronts 15,000,000 people and in which 5,009 persons are Baid to be dying every day. ; The horrors of this dreadfnl visitation will never: be accurately told, for they are be-' yond the power of words to express. Side by side there are instances of shockingrdepravity and of marvel ous heroism. Cannibalism is now common, and.the living are'rifling the graves of the dead and devour ing the putrid corpses. Children are being offered for sale on every hand and even offered as gifts with the hope of saving them from death by starvation. And here appear: iu full play the shocking depravity and litter inhumanity of man. Traffickers in human flesh from Shanghai and other ulcer spots.of China are in the famine -region buying young girls for lives of in famy. In many cases now the famine victims sire dying of disease or poison. All kinds of wild weeds are being eaten and some, of the lat ter being poisonous produce death . Fever, which always follows in the wake of famine, is. beginning to claim its victims, and in some of the famine centers small-pox has broken out and become epidemic, The wretched condition of the people is seen in an incident which befell Capt, Kirton, an /English man, one of the representatives of the Foreign Relief Committee, “The people in most parts of the famine area, had never seen a white Qian before,” says Capt. Kirton. “They were intensely curious, but there was an entire absence of. hos tility. Iu one village they congre gated in front of the Village inn in; great crowd's. Half of them were starving. I was talkiiig to the head man, ,through an interpreter, aud.he'was in a state of terrible distress on account of : his .people^ I thoughtlessly took a .tin of. bis cuits from my own stock of sup plies and began to give them to the youngsters. In a moment, there was a wild rush of men, wo; men and children, add it was only by a liberal use of their sticks that my escort of soldiers, '.and yamen runners pre vented me from being mobbed and possibly smashed up simply by the. mad. rush of hun dreds of starving human beings.” P.

CIVIC DUTIES. ,.Dratiofi Delivered May 2nd, 1907, By ; Daniel M. Sharpe, of the Graduating - ■ Cla** of ’07, Atheboro Graded School Randolph Bulletin. The stability of a Bepnblican form of government like ours, a ■ government of the people and by the people, depends upon every citizen’s doing his full duty to the State. - If the people manifest a proper interest in the affairs of state, our nation will continue to grow and prosper; if they grow careless and negligent of their duty then the nation will decline. If our republic should .eyer fall, as other nations of the past have fall en, it will not be because of a for eign toe, but because ouvwn citi- gens fail to do their duty. -In these latter times many abuses and evils have crept into our gov ernment, andareslowliy.underniin- ing our liberties. ' Our laws, made for the protection of the -weak against the strong,-are not admisis- tered with impartiality. It is a notorious fact that: Justice has not the same feeling for the poor man that she has-for the man of wealth and influence. - The poor ignorant fellow who steals a ham of .meat is, sent to-the penitentiary, but the bank president- who robB his depos- itors iB too prominent a citizen to be brought before the courts. Men are shot down in cold blood, and the murderers go scot free. And because of the non-euforceuient of our. laws, mob law and lynchings have arisen and have bocomea blot on our fair name. And these deplorable conditions of affaire have, arisen because our citizens have failed in their duties to the State, because they have been so engrossed in their private affaire that they have neglected to attend to their civic duties. Shall we allow these evils to con tinue! Little by little these abuses have jirept in, until now they are a serious menace to our institutions aBd government. Our laws are not administered with equal justice to all. The notorious Thaw case is an example of the power and influence of money to screen the offender from justice. Briberyisprevalent in our land. Mensell their votes but none are punished, either for buying or selling. Is there- any remedy for these diseases of the body politic? These evils have come upon us because of indifference on the part of the peo ple. And the remedy will be to arouse the feeling of interest and concern in affairs Of state. When ever publicrsenti mentis thoroughly aroused to the dangers which threat en our nation, these abuses will bq removed, and not until then. Who can estimate the power of public sentiment? When fully aroused it is irresistible. It has placed kings on the throne, and has dethroned monarchs. It has over thrown tyrants, and .pulled down dynasties. A united public senti ment set us free from the oppres sion of England. And itwas pub lic sentiment that brought on the Civil War, that conflict which gave freedom to the slaves. And T am glad to say that today the sublim- est forces of Christian civilization are at work, Btirring up public sentiment, before which these evils must flee like mists before the u s ing sun. Ifwehave the forces of right and justice with us in this mat ter, we will bringabout thereforms needed ; but if not we shall continue to drift on in uncertainty. Public sentiment has led men to victory in war, it has inspired every act of reformation, it has written consti tutions, and today it Is leading the nations of the world up,ward.. But in the matter of arousing public sentiment against these evils every eitizen must pay his part like a man. Itwill notdo for bim to sit down indifferent ahd Uncon cerned, and- wait:.-forvsentiment to grow of 1Itself. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; and Wcinust-, ever be on the watch to make se cure and safe the liberties-we have. Too many of our citizens have neglected their duties to the State in the- past. It behooves every one to be up and-doing in * orfler that abetter condition of affairs may be brought about, Heglect of duty has been responsible fbr bring ing about this deplorable condition and performance of duty must right the wrongs. It is encumbent upon every citizen that he render loyal obedience to all the laws. If a law should work a hardship, obey it until it can be repealed. Hotrne citizen can afford to violate the laws of the land even though they be hard ones, More than that he should see. to it that others obey the laws. He should • feel that he is directly concerned in - the en forcement of the laws, that it is his bounden duty to report to the prop er officers every violation which comesto his knowledge. It is not enough that men have been elected to enforce the laws, the private citizen must aid in every , way pos sible the officers In the perform ance of their duty. In too many cases men are prone to excuse and shield violators of the law because of friendship or other considera tion. Hothing should be allowed to hinder the discharge of our duty to the commonwealth. It.is the duty of every citizen to require of every officer that he per form his full - duty ,regardless of every other consideration, In the past we- have elected officers; and left the matter entirely in 'their hands whether they enforced the laws or not. If a chosen officer will not faithfully perform-the du ties entrusted to him he should be removed from office and some one put in his stead who will do his full duty. Party prejudice has been responsible, for ^mnch of our troubles. Men have voted for their party nominee without giving any thought to his fitness for the place. Many a man,-honorable in other respeets, will condone vote-buying when it is done by men of his party.- Men have allowed party enthusiasm to warp their sense of right and wrong, and the conn try is reaping the harvest of cor rupt politics. It is - the duty of every citizen to refuse to sanction wrong-doing, even when done by his own party leaders. In the hearts of all true citizens, love of country is stronger- than love of party. Men are so prone to Bhirk their duties? to the State.- • And in no in stance is this more striking than in the payment of taxes to support the government. Men who areup- right and honest in their dealings with their fellow-men -will falsify, their- tax-returns. They seem to think that they uwe Jittle orfnotht ing to the government which pro tects thCm and their property. : But I have-not the time to speak of the many duties the citizen owes to his-State; . We have been negli gent of our duties in the past, seri ous. abuses -have sprung up, and grave dangers confront-us. How,; more than ever before, is it the du. tyof every loyal citizen to render unto Ctesar the things which are Ctesar’e. = The State needs, your help-and my help to make this government what our-, forefotbers. intended it to be—a government of equal rights to all and special priv ileges to none. - The fight is on and if,we -will do ourduty we will leave to posterity a youth which will perpetuate" our memory and im-' mortalize our name.
