There is a good deal being said iu the papers about the decisiou of the circuit court in the Stanley Bond case. . Adverse criticism of the court, it appears to us, is un- j ust and out of order.

September -i.— Secretary Gage, whose position en ables him to know more abojt the finances of the government than those who are making sensational statements to the contrary, says the increase iu the volunteer army will not cause the slightest embarrass ment to tae treasury, and that no bonds will have to be issued or new taxes imposed to raise the money needed to meet every ouligation of tbe government as it becomes due. This ought to put a stop to all the wild talk about more bouds and more war taxes, bat of coui'se, it will not; the sensationalists are bound to have something to write about, and the anti-e.vpansionists will try to use a financial scare to make up for lack of real arguments against the Pnilippiue policy of the administratiim, but there is no oc casion for sensible persons to pay auy atteutiou to them.

The question of the rights of private property, whether on land or at sea, during a period of hostilities, which was discussed at the Gzar*s Peace Conference, illustrates perhaps more clearly than any other question the in- fiaenoe of public <^inion upon the rules of internationaJ law. One thing th^t the English critics noticed at the congress of the Inter national Council, in London, was that the women delegates were not, ae a rale, the younger women. The ma jority of them were the older women. The same thing is to be noticed in in dividual clubs in America. As a rule, the club women are the older women, who have passed the busiest period of life. The opportunities of mental train ing have been multiplied to such aa extent in these days that an ambitious young man may fiud at his elbow pretty much all the necessaries for obtaining a training far superior to that received in any formal way by the great majority of men fifty or a hundred years ago. It is as trae no *y as it was then that a man must edu cate himself, and it is much more certain that the inquiring mind will find the opportunity. Heretofore the watchers in the Old World have considered the United States as a granary to which they could come in times of famine to keep their poor from suffering, if not starv ation.

Santo D ominoo (By Cable).—President FIguereo has resigned, and one of the most peaceful revolutions ever undertaken has triumphed. So ready for the chanse wera the people that practically no resistance was met with, and the overthrow ol the Governmeot was accomplished with a re markably small amount of bloodshed. FIguereo, with bis Cabinet, has resigned, and the reins of government were turned over to Pedro Mejio, who will hold them until a new election can be held. Every thing hung on tbe fate of the commission sent to Degotlate with the leaders of the rerolutlon. When it was learned that it had failed to effect a compromise the final step was takeo. Gos'ernor Mejlo at once issued a procla mation disarming all but regul ir soldi«^r9 and promisioR to release all poittl''.al pris- oner;!. Tbis proclamation was c*irrled iuto effect, when a lar^e number of prisoners were released and tbe volunteers gave up their arms.Tbe peace and tranquility which pervade the city are in mariied contrast with tbe conditions that existed a fevr days asro and show how popular the revolution is with the massos. Figuereo was permitted to reach his home in Azua de Compostella uumolesled and tbe revolutlonisls everywhere aro be- having with tbe utmost moderation, even Roing 60 far as to pay for nil property tnken and all sup^plies used. It is said that Bamon Cascoes, tUo mur derer of Tresldent Heuroaus, is one of the leaders of the revolutionary army. The m arked industrial progress that is being made in the Busslan empire is discussed w ith astonishm ent in th» European press. Bussia is conspicu« ous in the m arkets of the world as a purchaser of nearly every kind of m achinery, the demand for which de notes the existence of an energetic and a progressive industrial system. Itis predicted by many observers that, if Bussian industry continues to grow at its present rate, the middle of the next century will see a radical rear rangem ent of the industrial balances of the world. rh e American child is left far more fen to the natural expression of tbe cea witbiu him , and in freedom he learns freedom’s essential lesson of Iself-restraint, says a w riter in the ' Philadelphia Evening Post. Being controlled by others does not teach one how to control one’s self, and the steady self-control of the American character is largely traceable to the com parative lack of repression in childhood. Another advantage of this free training is in the am ount of experience gained early and at first hand. It is tbis which develops in dividuality, aud that wide range oi adaptability, which is so distinguish ing a national characteristic. An unusual num ber of deaths of children under five years of age in Kashville, Tenn., led to a recent in vestigation by the H ealth D epartm ent into the milk supply. I t was found th at the dairym en were very generally using milk “ preservers,” the antisep- ticB m ost commonly employed being borax and formaldehyde. These are destructive to health, and to their use may be asM:ibe.diha -ifrCFeaaed' infant mortality. Some anests were made, but the only punishm ent that could be inflicted upon the offenders was to make them pay a small fine. According to the reports which have been received from varioufc parts of the country it 'i s a reasonjible assum ption that this '^doc- toring” of milk in hot weather is wide spread. Is pitch legally a liquid or a solid? On this question a recent trial in Trinidad turned. The stratum of pitch in that island is usually from four to seven feet below the surface aud, when cut through, the pitch m elts and oozes out. So if a man dug down near his neighbor’s lot, he would be able to collect pitch coming from under his neighbor’s land. The plan was described by one of the wit- nessess as “ the plan adopted when you’want to digyour neighbor’s pitch. I t ‘‘bulges out,” he explained, “ and you shave it off each m orning.’* B ut suit was brought by one outraged neighbor whose pitch had thus been ehaved off in adjoining laud. The defence was that an underground stratum of pitch was like so much water, no m au’s property till appro priated. B ut the courtheldthat pitch was a m ineral, and that you had no m ore right to abstract it from a neigh bor, by the oozing process, than you would have to tap hie deposit of iron or silrer.

A detailed exhibitiof this important branch of the subject would doubtless show that tho number of men who are now receiving the increased rate of wages ifl nearlv double the number which re ceived !the lower rate of wages paid four years ago in the Pittsburg dis trict. ' Four years ago, an equivalent length of time after the enactment of the WiiBon free trade tariff, scarcely more than one-half of the workers of the Pittsburg district conld demand steadyjemployment at the then lower rate ol wages. To-day, two years after the enactment ot ths Dingley tariff, not only are wages much high er, but the supply of labor ia not equal to the demand. Again let the free trade World tell the story: “When Mr. Bryan, tho aaplrant for the Democratic Presidential nomina tion, recently visited Homestead, he asked a colored man employed there what wages he made a day. “ ‘Oh, about $6 when I work fnll time,’ was the answer. “Mr. Bryan did not ask any more questions. “Even the iron puddlers, whose work among furnaces of molten iron is about as humble and hard as it can be, come in for a share in the general prosperity. As a matter of fact there are not puddlers enough to fill the demand. Tet only a few years ago the puddlers were a drug in the mar ket as a result of the improved ma chine methods introduced to take their place. “lu the phenomenal revival of trade in the Pittsburg Klondike the puddler has been summoned again as a matter of necessity. His pay a year ago was 34 a ton. Now it is $5. With a helper, whom he pays, he can make $7.50 or 88 a day. Only a very small percentage of the mills can secure all the puddlers they want. “There were two manufacturers at the headquarters of the Amalgamated Association to-day seeking puddlers. One came from Alabama, the other from Ohio. The Alabama man want ed 200. He was told that the manu facturers in the Pittsburg district wanted men as badly as he did. He went further East to-night, seeking them. “Common laborers are almost as scarce as skilled hands. Mr. Will iams, Secretary ot the Amalgamated Apsociation, told the World staff cor respondent to-day that unskilled labor ers could find employment throughout the district. Contractors employing Uborers ou public improvements are constantly seeing men. ■“Joha‘8: Sheehan, the former boss of Tammany Hall, who has a contract tor oonstruoting Pittsburg’s new S5,- 000,000 boulevard, is inconvenienced by thtf limited supply of laborers. “E. B. Taylor, general superinten dent of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, said to-day that his road could not secure as many men as he desired. “The same story is heard in every fine of trade, but principally, as is natnrsi, from mill owners—not men enough, oars enongb, facilities enough to meet the new conditions that are making the 180 square miles of mines, forges, mills and laotories around Pitisborg a veritable Ooiconda of wealth. ‘[Next to the shortage of labor comes th^ transportation famine as a factor in regarding tho fullest operation of th< industries in the Pittsburg dis trict. Mine, mill and factory owners all complain of their inability to se cure enough cars to oarry their prod uct to the markets. 1‘Bailway officials have pressed in to service all the cars they can secure from any quarter, yet there are not enough. f'lt maylie that the shippers are themselves to blame, aSthe railway officials declare. Their complaint is that the mill owners and mine opera tors are compelled to utilize the cars for storage purposes because of the laiikof room in their establisments. ** ° ^ m e of th e m ill m en,’ said U r.

Tried (0 Shoot Bernaril. A *peclal from Greenville says: United States District Attorney C. M. Bernard, of the Eastern North Caro lina. District, has been in Greenville the past two days. ?’rlday eveicliig he was at the depot expecting to take the ?• o’clock train for Kinston. Mr. B. 6. Shepparfi was al&o at the depot, aji<l seeing Bernard he exclaimed: “You D -^ scoundrel: you ruined my home,” at the same instant drawing a pistol and firing at Bemarti. The ball missed and Bernard ran into the watting room at the depot, closing the door af-er him. ■While Sheppard ^as trying to get in the door Bernard JumpeS out the window, got in a bngg>* and drovo rapidly down town anti swore out a peace warrant against Sheppard. Tbe matter Is being murh discussed by :ld- zens CD the street here. The over- Whe'.mins sentiment seems to be that the greatest mlsfortane about the shooting is that Mr. Sheppard missed his mark. B ad N egro P ard o n ed . Governor Rassell has granted a par don to Henr'- Wise, a negro who has been ccEfined in Creven county jail for several months past. Wise was con victed 3t the spring term of the crimi nal co’irt for resisting and assaulting an officer of the la^\- with a daailly weapon, and was sentenced according ly.

The statesmen of the old world, so far at least as their public utterances are concerned, have maintained a well- bred silcnce upon the subject of the national tragedy of which the closing scene has been enacted in Helsingfors, the capital of the grand duchy of Fin land. Aud because no word of protest has been uttered from a ministerial bench, or read from a blue book bear- ing the official signature of a chancel lor, the world has stood by in silence while the Finnish nationality has been decreed out of existence by an ukase from St. Petersburg, signed by Czar •Mcholas II., and promulgated by Count MuravieSE, the Slavic Bismarck. The import of this decree Is, that three mil lions of people of the Germano-Finnish blood shall become Russians forthwith. Behind the promulgation are a million of gray-coats ready to carry out tho will of MurartefE by the grace of the knout. In the meanwhile, the Imperial weakling whose pen has subscribed to tbe death warrant ot a nation, is lisp ing foolishly of the advisability of mi grating the horrors of war—a coinci dence which would furnish theme for an Offenbach, were it not matter more meet for the tragic genius of a MlHon! —S. Ivnn Tonjorofr. in The .\rena. A Calllornla Farm Telephone, The sallnas Valley Land Company has a telephone system the line of wblch consists of the ordinary barbed wire that was already on the fences. It is about ten miles long. We use a good telephone instrument. All the connections are made very close, and no wire is conncctcd with the ground in any way, either liy hanging down or by touching any other wire that does reach the ground. In crossing roads and gates the pre ferable way Is to have posts high enough to carry an overhead wire, but Ave took three-eighth-inch iron water pipes and laid them under the gates and most of the roads and then ran a rubber-covered wire through them to connect with the barbed wire on each side, Ijending the ends of the pipe up at the sides of the gates or roads and then filling the ends up with putty to keep water out. This character of telephone Hue will work Just as well as any Insulated line In dry weather, but not at all when It is raining, because then the current runs in the ground. As soon as the posts have time to dry off after a ralu it is all right again. Such lines will work for any reasonable distance, say from one to 100 miles, but in States where It often rains they will not do well.—American Agriculturist C bo.. P . Curd, a .

At the close of formal dinners in 7npan the guests are presented with 'any portion of the meat they may fall :to eat. However groat or small tho : amount they may fail to eat, it is care fully wrapped up for them and they are expected to talie It home with them. The unique custom was fol lowed at othclal dinners until a short time ago, when it was discontinued, but the withdrawal of government ex ample has not materially affected the practice. Tbe plan has been followed for many years and it is difficult to place its origin. Peculiar as the custom is. It is not without its attractive features. The husband who stays out late at night can pave the way to wifely pardon witli the neat and tempting parcel un* der his arm. The impecuicus or tem porarily embarrassed can hold out enough to tide them over several hun gry days. The indulgent father or mother can pass the sweets and carry them home to their children. Half a dozen satisfactory combinations can be worked on the plan. There may he all kinds of elaborate courses at a din ner that one dees not care for. but the mental struggle of saying no is not half so hard xrheu you know you will get a chance to can*y the food off and either give it to yonr children, feed It to your dogs and cats, cr distribute it among your friends. The Japanese practice is all that could be expected. Each kind of food is kept in a sepa rate parcel, and at the close of the dinner the share of each guest is made up in a neat and artistic bundle.—San Francisco Chronicle. Per FRED OLIVER, Pres't.

Many women are denied the happiness of children through some derangement of the generative organs. Actual barrenness is raie. Among the many triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkha/ 's Vegetable Compound is the overc.. .g of cases of supposed barrenness. This great medicine is so well calculated to regn- ■ late every function of the generative or gans that its efficiency is vouched for by multitudes of women. M rs. E d . W o lf o r d , of Lone Tree, Iowa, writes: D ear M rs , P inkham —Before taking Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compomid I had one child which lived only six hours. The doctor said it did not have the proper nourishment while I was can ying it. I did not feel at all well during preg nancy, In time I conceived again, and thought I would write to you for advice. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards you for the help that your medi cine was to me during this time. I felt like a new person: did my work up to the last, and was sick only a •hort time. My baby weighed ten pounds. He is a fine boy, tho joy of our home. He is now six weeks old and weighs sixteen pounds. Your medicine is cer tainly a boon in pregnancy.” M rs. F l o r a C o o p er, of Doyle, S. Dak., writes: D e a r M r s .

Men are nieasnied often by t’le amount of cash they have, insteadi of iheir nobility ot character, up rightness of conduct and gentle manly bearing. When a cause is SO weak that its promoters have to lay aside dignity, honesty and truthfulness, and resort to abuse, vile insinuations at>-^ misrepresen tations, the stirring up of strife, passion and prejudice, th/e villiiicar tion of all who do not see it from their standpoint, it seefjis that it would not take the lovijrs of the right, the supporters of liiw, order and justice, long to sec through their transparent schem|es. and brand them as unworthji of the support of all honoiuble men. The talk of the ameudment*only being opposed by (he office holdera —“pie-counter brigade,” is all stuff, and shows the littleness of those who have no argument to bring^c'fward to uphold a incjLsure that iSiiis and intends to take away the rights of a large nnmber of the cilizens of the State. And the principle object of the schemers is to put a few Democrats iu to feast at the “pie^coimter.” It makes a great big difference whose ox is gored. And when these little fel lows who like to abuse Republicans so much are on the outside, with their moutlis wide open, watering and hankering after pie, possibly when one considers the weakness enough to leave an humble collage with devoted wife aud children; good enough to die on the battle field for one’s country; good enough to leave a widow and orphan chil dren to the tender mercies of a wicked, cruel world, tosuffer hta'd- ships. to grow up iu ignorance aud their descendants be disfranchwed because of poverty and misfortuue, in order to make ITorth Carolina everlastingly Democratic.

In taking- this course I know I invite the caustic censure of a majority of m y party associates, but.when consid eration is taicen of the action of our last legislature in its disregard of cer- m u i campaign pledges upon which the Uemocratic majority was secured, I know the integrity and honor of m y iello\v citizens ivill be generous in their criticism of m y course. From the date of Chairm an Simmons' letter to the voters of the State as- ,^rin«r the public that, iuthe event of Pemocratic success, no effort would be'm ade to abridge in any way the suffrajfe rijrhts of any voter, either wJiite or colored, we had the best ar- g'ument of our opponents against our riff^it to control the State com pIcteW answered. W'ith this menace to the rights of our iinfortunate illiterate voters re moved, the duty of a majority of the V‘';tcrs of the State was m ade clear. Tile object of our contest in that campaign was to rescue the State and county governments from the incom- peteuv hands into which thej- had fallen. To do this with an avowed purpose of restricting suffrage to a class, was at that time considered by every Democrat having an interest in the camjiaig-n an insurmountable barrier in the way of our success. And so far as m y knowledge extends, there was not a candidate for any po sition, or a newspaper within the State, that did not most earnestly and emphatically disavow any such purpose on the part of the Democrat ic partj-, and p'."dged its legislature, if successful, against such a policy. H o w well those ante-election pledge? were k-jyt by tlie legislature is a m at ter of historv. and is now before us for ratillcatibii. A s one iieiie-ving in political honesty, as well as personal honesty. I do not believe the common people of the great Democratic party should be committed or forced to the ratifica tion of this monstrous measure. Tlie Democracy of Jefferson. .lack- son, Bryan and Vance stands upon the housetops and the battlements of lib erty, proclaiming to the world, the universal political freedom of all man- kindi with “ equal rights to all and special privileges to none,"’ while the Democracy of Tiliman and others hides itself behind the unjust laws, and restricts the privileges of citizen ship to the classilied few, who believe as it does, and v.-ili follow at the bid ding- of its acknowled|fed master.s. T he type of North Carolina’.s Dem oc racy has always been liic former ard 1 refuse to believe thattlie latter can now be substituted at tile bidding'of those Vi-ho seek through such measures as tliis proposed suffrage am endm ent, to foist it upou our party and State even at the dictation of party leaders. Space in your valuable paper for bids tbat I at this time, attempt to.' give all m y reasons for parting wa^^s with m y party on this question. The manifest uncoustitutionality, which section five of the proposed am end m ent m ates witli t’lo constitution of the United States, and the great dan ger which lies in an unfavorable opin ion by our national suijreme court upon this section, and tiie strong probability that lies in the m ainte nance of tlie remainder of the am end ment, wliereijy illiterate v.hite and colored voters are left alike without the privilege of the ballot, should be sniiicient cause iu the minds of all patriots for the dam ning of the entire measure. I have carefully read every article yet oifered by the friends of the am endm ent, and to mj' mind I have got to see the first expression from anj' of them that would convince the most credulous layman that there i^. even a rem nant of iiope that section ilve can stand the test of an honest judicial opinion. In fact, no t one of th e frieacls o£ the Cotton Sales iu M anila. A special to the Chicago Times- Herald from Washington says: Senator Morgan, of Alabama, prophesies that expansion will be the Siilvatiou of cotton, and is about to start a crusade in the South to spread the new gospel. In his prophetic vision he Says Ma nila will be the great cotton market of the world, instead of Liverpool. Instead of paying toll to British brokers, spinners and ship-owners, he predicts the timeiscomingwhen Americans, iu an American city iu the Pacific, will handle two-thirds of the cotton of the world aud save billions to the e)tton-gro« ei-s of America. “Liverpool has been built upou American cotton, at the expense of! American growers, while Manches ter has thrived at the expense of American .spinuei-s,” said .Senator Morgan. “Why should the United States continue to enrich those Brit ish cities ? Why should the price of the cotton grown in Alabama aud Texas be fi.'ced by men in Liverpool?” “Manila offers the key for escape from this commercial thralldom There at the very door of Asia, is an American city with a splendid harbor, aud the day is coming wheu it will rob Liverpool of much of its cotton trade. Cotton and cotton goods will l>e shipped West to the Pacific, carried to Manila and dis tribute;! from that port up and i down the Asiatic coast without paying toll co Liverpool aud Man- cliester. There is not only tlie sa ving in transportation to be cou- siilered, for the rehaiidliug ’uetTect entails a nuinljer of extra cliargc.^, but remember that Asia has two- thirds of the consuming power of the world, and you see tlie impor tance of this ll'ade aud the promise held out to Jlanila.” C O M I N G T O M O C K S V I L L E , •nerjl? t h r e e G E N S R ^ o h s .

Then Ciiairman Simmons qnojes the fifth section of the proposed slaughter pen law that he claims will protect every while man fiwn the humiliation inllieted upon the negro. On top of this, with sublime consistency, he gives forth the following; “A careful .study of thciiniendnient will disclose the fact tliat it docs not in any legal sense coutraveiie the lif- teenth amendment to t!ie Uniteil •Stiites constitution or abridge the fights of the black man to vole on account of race, color or previous coiiilition of serritude, but that it simply establishes a qualitiiiatiou of siifi'rage.” A careful study of this proposed amcndtneut, combine:l wilh Hie effort to see it as Mr. Sim mons sees it, would drive a mau to The Oniy B | Show to ExliiMt Here DURING THIS YF >R. . “AFTER ALL, OLD THIXGS ARE BEST” The OLD RELIABLE Jill lisii mu W hich you have known, respected and enjoyed for th j^ ^ geueratioas, will visit jou on Tliiffsday, Septemter 28th. am cadm ent have ever touched till- stroii;r driulc or a lunatic Jisyluiii if v'iUtl point in the case, and to m y mind, it seems clear from all the work^« that I have been able to fiud he kept :ifc it till he got results.

Tragic Ending of a Stupendous Farcei THE FRENCH PEOPLE OUTRAGED By • Miscrab e Travesty on Justice—Ttie Whole Civdized Worid Condemns ttie Verdict—May bs R leased Soon. The lens trial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, the much persecuted Jew, on (lie charge of treaEon, ended at Rennes, France, on Saturday in a way that was not at all unexpected. The military tribunal at whose bar he stood accu»ecl, has from the first been deeply preju diced against him. and has not lost an cpport^ity to display that bitter prej udice.' arrogantly flounting it in ihe face of an outraged public at all times. The trial has been a farce from the beginning. Dreyfus has shown the bearing of a man and a soldier throughout the terrible ordeal, and to day stands immeasurably above tho pigmies who accu&e him and the pcrju- ti judges who condemned him with out a scintilla of evidence on which to There is a serious question in many minds as to how far the law-making . powers can or should go in the regu lation of wages and labor conditions observes the Washington Star. Some believe that the legislative function can properly be extended to cover any phase of the industrial situation. Others declare that it is not a legiti mate or a safe prerogative to extend to the compounders of the laws, that the matter of wages and labor conditions, should be left to adjust itself in ac cordance with the state of the mar- kets, of trade and of the exigencies of capital. Tho latter view is a very gen eral disposition to encourage the statutory regulation of the hours of labor. It is said that a late decision of the Court of Appeals inGerminy, where by ladies in waiting at the Prussian Court are classed as do: ^ no end of amuse ment. Tho “ladies” are invaviably members of tho moab aristocratic fsmiliea in the country, and tliis fast gives a ladiorous side to the decision. This classitication was broajht about by the coasideration of a case where a woman in Dresden appealed against the income tax, saying she had al ready paid it to the tax on govern- mont. The Supreme Court found that, according to the Prussian law, under the head of common servants, tko right to tax incomes could not be applied to the .pensions of ladies m waiting. ___________________ The new electric cabs have disap peared from the streets of London, and for a reason amusing to the reader but serious enough for the company. It is not to any lack of popularity that the withdrawal of the vehicles is at tributed, but, on the contrary, to the growing favor of automobiles with the public. So many persons are buying machines for private use that expert drivers are in keen demand, and those trained by the company have all been tempted away by offers cf higher pay. At the same time the an'^horities will . Bot permit a motor cab to ply in the streets anless the driver can prove oq examination that he koonrs every hole and oorner in London. In ihe case of this embarrassed company, the mo tor cab has proved almo&t too good a thing. S T A T E S Q U IB S . base a co:avlction.

The following is an account in detail of the conviction; Rent'es, France, By Cable.—The ex pected has happened. Dreyfus has bcsn condemned but though a majority cl those in the court room fully expected ihe verdict, they were completely stuppfled when it was given, and the si- Icnce which prevailed in the room ai.d the way men turned pale and caught their breaths was more Impressive than any other manifestation could have been. * As th&^dience left the court room fully 10 or 15 men were crying oi«cnly. and the majority cf these present walked quietly down the stret for more than a block without speaking a word. It was like a funeral procession. Meanwhile a tragedy was being en acted in the little room off the court room, where Dreyfus listened to the reading of the verdict. He had been told the result by his lawyers and had wspt bitterly, but when In the presence of the cffieials of the court martial, he listened impassively to the sentence. His wife, who Vvas waiting in torture and suspense at her house, bor* the news bravely, and when visiting her husband in the ovoain:;, showed the on lookers who wera in the strtels no sign of her sufferings as she walked from her carriage to the prison. Mathieu Dreyfus was not present in court, but visitted his brother after tht verdict had been rendered. He found him perfectly calm and without any manifestation of surprise at the finding of the court. The prisoner simply shrugged hh shoulders, uttaring an expressive “bah!” adding as he embraced his brother as the latter was preparing to leave, “console my wife.” The general belief that Dreyfus will be pardoned: but this will not sat isfy his friends, who ve-liementlT dt- clare that thu^'ill continue the batt:* until th^l^Rtoent is reversed.

It is learned that the Jails in the western part of the State hold many insane people who are not able to gain admittance to the Western Hospital for the Insane, at Morganton, because that Institution is already crowded to a date- gerous extent. Dr. Murphy, the super- inteudent, in a letter to the members of the Board of Charities, says that so many patients are already being cared for that the danger of accident or of tuberculous infection, a constant men. ace in such placcs, is very great. In order to demise means for meetinjs the situation and to provide if possible for this class of our unfortunate Dr. Charles Duffy, of Newbern, chairman, has called the Board of Charities to m%et at Morgantcn on the 19th of this month. It is the purpose of the board to ranfce a full investigation of Ihe fatie, and to lay the results of the invei^uga- tion before the public as it finds them. It is hoped by Dr. Murphy that thi board will find a way to give the care to the Insane that is needed. Meet on 18th.

Writing to the New York London under date of July 26, Mr. H. and <l“a?initLs8 the subject o f tm su inFneland. Such a presentment is m o s t timely. H comes at a moment when facts are important “^ e r to nconrately determine the extent to X c L t/asts aboaud in « oonntry where protection is unknown. From Mr Brown’n article it i» learned among other things, that in tree trade England the ‘Loriliu aud has attained to_ its most complete doTelopment. To-day, tays this well-informed writer, there are more trade combinations to the square inch in England than in the United States, and it will not be 1»“S at the present rate before every trade in tho light little island will be in a position to regulate competition. In spite of the fact that the ten dency toward monopoly in England in the last year has been significant and almost startling, the average English man will tell you, “We h a v e no trusts in England." Mr. Havemeyer evi dently had that idea when he declared that “the customs tariff is tho mother of trusts." How mistaken is this be lief, and how firmly tho trust move ment, under another name, has taten hold upon English commercial life, may be'convincingly learned from the facts sot forth in detail by the Press correspondent. According to this well-informed writer— ‘^Organizations which in America would be popularly called trnsts now control in England tho fine cotton spinning, the dyeing, screw manufac- tare, salt mauufactnro, newspaper manufacture, cotton thread, chemicals, the crushing of oil seed, bedstead making, glass bottle mak ng, manu- factnre of electrical fittings and the cased tube trade. There is no open market in petroleum, nickel, mercury, antimony, lead pipe and fish. The National Telephone Company now has a monopoly, and the nnmber of trades in which the leading producers have combined and have began to squeeze the smaller producers to the inevitable end of establishing tvhat is tantamount to a trnst is almost infinite.” In one respect the trnst idea ha*i been carried in England to an extent thus fat unknown iu the United States. The combinations operating separately in difi’erent lines are engaged in com bining themselves into still larger and more comprehensive trusts. At last accounts tho dyers were thinking of going into the chemical manufactur ing business, making their own drugs and dycstuffs, and establishing what would amount to a practical monopoly in that direction. Likewise the re tail chemista, themselves combined into associations which regulated prices in many districts, froze oat the manufacturer of mineral waters by building a factory themselves and practically controlling the market. One of the latent combinations is that of the oil seed crashers, whose chairman is Hugh Cullen Smith, late governor of the Bank of England, and the manufacturers of the paper nsed in making newspapers are said to have formed a monopoly. Twenty fonr leading firms in the engineering trade have consolidated with a capital of S70,000,009. Vickers &: Co., armor plate manufactui’ers, have been buy ing up competing firms until they con trol the trade. The Belfast linen yarn spinners were lately reported to be organizing, and also the Scottish floor cloth manufactnrera, also the bleach ers, who are reported to have a capi tal of $30,000,000. All this in free trade England where, if Mr. Havemeyer aud his Demo-Pop admirers are correct in their conten* tion, trusts do not and cannot exist. It appears, however, that they can anil do exist, and that they thrive wonder* fully well in that non-protected ooud* try—thrive all the better, it would seem, becanse of the absence of pro tection and the active and always in creasing compeiition which protection promotes and insures. Such, it wiU be found, is the truth concerning trusts. They fiouiish with or with out a protective tariff—rather better without than with it. gospel seed Takes Haifa JHillion Bales Short Atlanta, Ga., Speclal.-^ommi8sion« er of Agriculture 0. B.

' The Mugwump free trades are atill quoting what Trust King H“vemeyer L d atout the tariff being the mother of trusts, in the effort to protection is injurious to the and we suppose they utmost to force the issue of free trade upon the country m ^.the next cam- *’*0^'course Mr. Havemeyer refuted his own argument when he admitted that the Sugar Trust, one of the largest aud most aggressive in the country, was without adequate tariff protection, and the fact that some of the greatest trusts in the world flour ish in free trade England is the b ^ t evidence that big combinations for the control of industrial enterprises are not promoted by the tariff. Of course, if there were no protec tion for American manufaotnrers against foreign competition there would be no prosperity in the United States and no encouragement for the enlarge ment of industrial operations. The organization of trusts might be stopped by destroying prosperity, and that could be easily done by tearing down the protective system. The free traders tried that in 1894 when they passed the Wilson-Gorman law. It did not take long to close most of the factories in the United Sbatea. Hun dreds of thousands of workingmen were thrown out of employment, and all who retained employment were compelled to submit to a reduction of wages. The worst panic the country has ever seen followed the election of ft free trade Congress and free trade President in 1892. There were no attempts to organize trusts daring that panic. It was all the manufaotnrers could do to save their credit and pre- . vent the sale of their plants under the hammer. All the people of the United States are opposed to the trusts, but very lew of them will want to^ attack them by destroying the prosperiy on which they thrive and driving the working people into poverty and wretchedness. There is a better way of accomplish ing the desired result, and the Be* publican party will find the way, without losing sight of the best in terests of the country.—Cleveland Leader.

What a Farmer Made on One Acre in Strawberries, I had one acre of fair land which had heen yielding som ething over half a ■bag of cott-cin to the acre. In 1897 I determined to raise Btrawberries on it under intensive culture and see w hat 1 could do, trying my level best. The land 'had beea in ootton th at summer. Cowpeas would have been much -better. As soon as tie oo'tton was picked, about October loth, I cut off the ©talks, plowed the land well, hauled on 50 load.s of stable m anure and all the ashes I had. broad-casted all evenly and turned under shallow. I then Tan off the lot in lands 4 1-2 feet wide. To each land I set 3 rows of plants, rows one foot apart, plants cne foot apart in row. This left a W'alkway 2 1-2 feet w^ide between each set of three rows. The plants grew finely. One light ^vorking was all the attention they got till the following February. I then top dressed them with 600 lbs. fertilizer net in potash, scattered pine straw evenly around and hetw'e«n them as a mulch. In April I gathered aad sold 2,200 quarts of ■s'plendid berries, which net ted 8c on an average—$176 for the acre. Not bad for the first crop. As ECN3n as the berries vrcTe off and during the following summer. I culti vated shallow 'but thoroughly, the ■wailkT^'ay w ith a. hw se cultivator, the space between the plants w ith hoes. The following October I scattered about 50 bushels of ashes around and between the plants, and over th tse 30 loads of stable m anure, itaking pains not to sm other the plants. Again in Februarj' I applied six weight fertili zer rich in potash and pulled c-ut every W'ced as they came. No work was needed as the sta-ble manure, now wefll beaten down by rain, toolt its plaoe. The crop of berries, large as pullet eggs, was tremendous. I believe that I should have made a little fortune on that acre if I had not last spring have struck the most unprofitable, straw^- berry season ever seen. I shipped and sold locally from that blessed acre a long W’ays over 10,000 quarts, exactly how many I do not know’, as it kept me hustling too fast -to keep accounts. Nor do I know exactly wha’t they netted me. The m^adam started out to keep the accounts straight, but she got things tangled. All that I know is that at the end of the picking she had 1506.10, all of which, and a little more we could trace, came from that crop of straw berries. I have plowed up th at acre and put in peas, preparatory to planting in straw berries again this fall. I have two acres planted last w inter for spring of 1900. The varieties we planted were Clyde and Brandywine. Fits pennsnenfly cured. Nofltsornervons- reEB alter f.rst day*8 uhb of Dr. Kline's Great Nerve Re8torer.|2t-.ialbottieandtreatl8« free Vii. R. H.

I n u r e x lc o a f o n t b s A r e X a m e d A f t e r t h e .A rr iv a l o f D ir d s . The most prim itive method in chro nology is that v.-hich enables man to orient himself ‘n the world of time by associating particular lurations with vicissitudes of weather, with seasonal aspects of vegetation, and with the constantly changing sights and sounds of the anim al world, says Popular Sci ence Monthly, in the calendar of the Crees. for example, we find such desig nations as “duck-month." “frog- moon,” “leaf-moon,” “berrles-rlpe m onth,” “bvffalo-rutting moon,” “leaves entirely changed,” “leaves In the trees.” ‘'flsh-catching moon,’* “moon that strikes the earth cold,’* “coldest moon.” “ice-thawing moon," “eagles-seen moon.” So in the calen dars of Central America and Mexico the months are named variously after the arrival of birds, the blossoming of flowers, the blowing cf w’inds. the re turn of mcsquitoes and the appearance of fishes. The Greeks constantly used the movements of birds to mark the seasons; the arrival of the swallow and kite were thus noted. Hesiod tells us how the cry of the crane signaled the departure of winter, while the sitting of the Pleiades gave notice to the plow man when to begin his work. The In- cas called Venus •''the hairy,” on ac count of the brightness of her rays, just as the Peruvians named her the "eight-hour torch,” or “the tw ilight lamp,” from the time of her shining. • Two lotercstlag Relics.

Slany i^ple are supposing that o.ir superior court convenes here in September. This is a mistake. The last l^slature changed the time of the meeting of this court from September to October. Therefore, the next r^ular term of Davie su perior court Will be held at Mocks ville on the 16th day of October.

Dock Mason, colored, who was in jail charged with stealiug oats, escaped Monday night. In some way he got out oue of the iron bar's of the window to his cell. Through this small opening he crawled into the corridor or pas^e, and went through a stove pipe hole into au- other room which was occupied by Will King, white, who is up for assault. An opening iu the outer wall, which was made by King, permitted thi negro to gain his fieedom, bnt was too small for the white man. Jailor Harbin did not make the discovery uulil Tuesday moruiug. and the neces.sary work to effect the escape was doue with out audible sound. This escape is no surprise, as the old buildiug is unsafe and incapable of holding anythiug that may not desire to. remain. The proper authority should look into Ihis matter. Q, T.

Let it be understood however, that this desirable a ugnientatiou is but one of the multitude of attractions to which the Robinson show invites the patronage of the public.

W e wish to call ihe attention of voters to a certain x>aragraph of section eleven of the election law recently enacted by a Democratic legislature. Bead it carefully; “ The r ^ t r a r m ay require the applicant to prove his identity or age and residence by the testimony of at least two electors under oath.” The above is taken from the law book and nothing added thereto. Now, we wish to call the attention of the people to this paragraph for a porpose—that purpose is to show them to w hat desperate methods the framers of this law have re sorted in order to put the ring crowd in power. W hy make it impossible for a poor or even a rich man to register and vote, if the registrar hapx>ens to be an unprincipled partlzanT Now why do we say impossible) For the simple reason that there are few voters in North Carolina who could prove these facts by electois. ■ Your mother, if living, would not be a competAit witness; the old family Bible would be ruled out of court, for the statute ex pressly. says by at least two elec tors*, these facts must be proven by at least two electors under oath. Don’t you see the infamy of it! Are you ready to inarch up to the polls and aid such conspirators against the liberties and rights of the people, in their unhallowed work—are you willing to entrust the government of N orth Carolina to such a crew t Let them once get securely lodged in power behind such infamous twins as the election law and the constitutional amend ment. and nothing but a revolution of the people can dislodge them. W hile we are crying out, shame upon the French government for its dastardly treatm ent of Dreyfus, we are called upon to vote into power in North Carolina next year men who are not one w hit better than those who have heaped shame, degradation and disgrace upon this innocent but 'anfortunate Jew. As inre as there is retributive justice, V^ance will suffer for her infamy, andyas certainly will it follow in the wake of the wrong attempted in o l^ ^ o rth Carolina ui)on the rights and liberties of its people. Let us, ni conclnsion, point oul another shreW part of the scheme of this paragraph: “ The registrar MAY require.” Nqw, why use the word “ may” instM d of “ shall” require the applicant to prove? For this simple reason: The r ^ - istiar is going to be a Democrat, and wheu a Democrat presents hitn- self for r ^ tr a tio n the “ may” lets him out; but on the other hand, when a Republican presents him self for registration the “ may” leaves it in the discretion of the Democratic registrar to require the applicant to prove his identity or age and r^idence by the testimony of at least two electors nnder oath. “ A t LEAST two.” W hy, in his unbounded discretion he can re quire you to bring up a d02»n, if he likes. H ad you over thought of it in this light 7 If not, it is time you were. The word “ m ay” plays a very im portant part—and such men as the Hon. Thos. Settle, Gen. Cowles and Judge ^ rb u c k , Re publicans whom the Democratic papers are quoting and courting so nicely, can bang their harp on the willow tree, so far as ever desiring to hold another office in North Carolina is concerned, if these beau tiful twins are both engrafted on the statute books. It is no surprise to us when we see it stated by the Simmons cr.>wd that , they are going to carry it. W hy, of course, they can carry anything with that election law, if properly manipulated, unless the people, the great commoii people, rise up in their luight aud cmijh this giautanacon&a to death. And fot t o life of us, we cannot see how m en^sensibie n»^, .brainy rct-Q liKe. Jufi.gfi ,«la.rb\!fk and Purnell can aid this crowd in fastening snch laws upon the peo ple. W ell may Mr. Settle say that he is not a candidate for ofiice next year, for he would get few Repub lican votes in N orth Carolina. You cannot endorse the amendment without endorsing the election law, and of the two, the latter is the most infamous. Abuse of Power. The Raleigh News in one issue has these items; “ Magistrate Barbee has sent Cas- sey Pulley, a seventeen-year-old whsie girl, to the roads because she could not pay costs in a case against her.” “ Annie Clark, a young white girl, and her brother Jud Clark, were yesterday sent to the roads by Magistrate Nichols for failure to pay costs and fine in a case for an affray.” It seems a hardship that white girls should be sent to the roads to work out i>etty sums, and there to be brutalized and turned into crim • inals by contact with the toughest of men. This shows the great need of a reformatory in this State.— Charlotte News. Last fall when we sent ont a sup plement with cartoons showing white girls working with negroes, the self-righteous got mad and said it was not true.-—Hickory Times- Mercury. A disgraceful state of affairs to exist in a State whose legislature recently in session at Raleigh, spent inost of its tim e iu enacting parti san election laws and constitutional amendments. Shame upon them. Young white girls can woric the roads with criminal whites and ne gross. If this is white supremacy God save the State, for the Demo cratic party can’t do it. The P resident’s F aith in Prayer. The first business session of the for- annual Northwest Metho- opo: Blsl St Episcopal Conference oponed with 2oO ministers present. Bishop Hurst paid a beautiful tribute to President McKinley, stating that a few days ago he called on the Presi dent and asked him if there was not some small burden that I could help him bear. The President replied that there was one thing- he could do—keep iraying for him. The bishop said he id not believe there was another man in the- world who relied so im- licitly upon God to direct him as 'resident McKinley.—Frankfort, Ind. Dispatch to Indianapolis Journal, Sep tember (i. If good men like McKinley feel the need of prayer, how should Simmon.s and his crowd feel on the subject? They are fighting for a cause that no g-ood man can be called on to pray for and be consistent. Wouldn't it be funny to hear them asking for the prayers of the people they purpose robbing of their rights and liberties ? W hile T h e R e c o r d ’s subscrip tion list continues to grow, and its future seems brighter every day, nothing does us moi-e good than the kind words of commendation from our people, the great common peo ple, for whom we are fighting. Conscious of the right, we shall continue the battle along the same lines. State capable of plotting to dieet: its. peace and tarnish its repntation in'the eyes of the world for their political advantage is shameful. But it was done last fall and the same men that were in control of that campaign are in charge of the campaign that will end next A u gust. W e say now that the politi cal machine that constructed the disfranchising amendment and the •‘bull pen” election law will go to any length to carry these measures at the polls. The constitution of the nation they have sworn to de fend, the peace aud good order of the State, fairness and honesty in elections and every interest of the people will be treely sacrificed as they deem necessary in order to establish a system of boss rule in North Carolina. These men who got a foothold last fall have just one scheme cn foot and only one. £t is to get x>ossession of the politi cal machinery of the State in such a way that no effort of the people armed only with the elective fran chise can oust them . This accom plished what is then to prevent the looting of the State? The election of such men to office is the grantiitg of il public, frn-m’hi-se to ioot. ^N’hai machine ever was organized, and constructed unfair election laws and used other nefarious means— as exciting violent prejudice in the minds of Oie people and employing speakers and writers to misrepre sent issues—to make themselves solid in office, who did not have an object of organized plunder! W e appeal to the honesty and intelli gence of the State to say, in the light of the broken pledg^ of the last campaign, and the revelation of intention in the partisan election law. if the political managers at Raleigh are fit to be trusted further with the control of affairs in North Carolina. The men the people elected to the legislature last f did not frame the election law or constitutional amendment. The election law floated into the legisla ture on the breezes. The man who introduced it hardly understood its provisions, but it bore the label of the machine. In the “ confer ences” at whieh the constitntional amendment was concocted two or three men were present who were not members of the legislature but whose voices were more potent than any member’s. In secret cau cus these measures were argned on their “ merits” —as means of ren dering “ white supremacy perma nent” —a farcical way of express ing a meaning now well understood, of putting the machine in a posi tion that could defy the will of the people.—Asheville Gazette. M ark Tw ain on the Devil. Becom ing D em oralized. The Gazette demoustrated some days ago that the managers of the amendment campaign in this State are very much demoralized. They have shown unmistakable signs of abandoning the serious defense of theii•^, disfranchising scheme, are afraid'to_ utter even the most per functory h,eply to the attacks at their election .law, preserving the silence of the g u llty.^ught in the act on that measure, -^nd are set tling back into the one field that is left for them that holdsvont any hope of assistance. awakeniW race i,.- pr^udice to the point pf v i^ n c e . np m ajjaparticipate m t t o That men should be found ^ n W free di<)trM l^n by i^ m g what troy™ ®: In H arper’s Magazine for Sep tember M ark Twain has a clever skit on the devil. H e say;s “ I have no special regard for Satan, but I can at least lay claim that I have no prejudice against him It may even be that I lean a little in' his way, on account of his not having a fair show. A ll relig ions issue Bibles against him, and say the most injurious th in ^ about him. but we never hear his side. W e have none but the evidence for the prosecution, and yet we have rendered the verdict. To my mind, this is irregular. It is un-Jtoglish; it is un-American; it is French. W ithout this precedent Dreyfus could not have been condemned. “ Of course Satan has some kind of a case, it goes without saying. It may be a poor one, bnt that is nothing; that can be said about any of us. As soon as I can get at the facts I will undertake his reha bilitation myself, if I can find an unpolitic publisher. It is a thing which we onghc to be willing to do for anyone who is under a cloud. “ W e may not pay him reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least re“pect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of s'.iiritual head of fonr-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of evecutive abilities of the loftiest order. In his large presence the other popes and poli ticians shrink to midgets for the microscope. I would like to see him. I would rather see him and shake him by the tail than any other member of the European Coneert^^”______ To Be Given Away.

' Notwithstanding the recent eipul- eion of Mormon missionaries from Germany, the activity of that chnrcU ill seeking to make Euroj^ean con verts knows no relaxation. Twenty- nine missionaries * have just sailed from Philadelphia for work in Eng land. Germany, Switzerland cud Scandinavia. i The New Orleans Daily Picayune, commenting on the suggestions that the Fhilippines be made a penal colony, says: “The forty-five States of the Union have in their penitentiaries many thousands of convicts. If all those who are serving long sentences vere sent to a penal colony it might be best for them and beat for tUe conntry.” The British naval manosiivres this year proved in an abstract way that a squadron cannot go out to meet a con voy of food ships on the Atlantic and bring it into port without the enemy’s teet being sighted. This is well «nongh so far as it goes. Every rea- floning Englishman knows in his heart that the best passible safeguard against starvation in war time is American good will. The list of physical abnormalities which have been credited from time to time to the riders of ths wheel has now been increased by the discovery of the “bicycle foot." This pectiliar affliction does not result from century riding or from the habit of scorching. It is caused by wearing shoes with soles too thin to protect the feet from the jars incident to dismonnting, m l also to riding over rough pavements. The bicycle foot is called “traumatic flat-foot” by surgical experts and olii- ers who can afford to use terms of more or less formidable phraseology. Eetnrning Americans from abroad stem unanimous in the opinion that the only thing in the world that Great Britain is afraid of is that the United States will steal away her markets. Government statistics for the last fis cal year give substantial reasons for the British alarm. Not only are we supplanting the English trader in sup plying many of the wants of peoples , in Europe, Asia and Africa, but wo are I catting into his own home market on items which it has long been the Bri^sh pride that England beat the world. ' A good deal of attention is being paid in Pennsylvania, especially in Philadelphia, to the enforcement of the State law against food sdnltera- iion. The Grand Jury at Philadelphia recently made a special presentment on the subject, in which it said: “The adulteration of food is a matter of snch vital importance to every member of the community that the strongest measures should be takcu to prevent and punish the crime. We are im pressed with a belief that while close inveEtigation should be made amona the retail dealers, the wholesaler and mannfaoturer should not be allowed to escape in the close examination made.”________________ With the broadening not only of the field o£ commercial activity bnt of the light in which that field is regarded there has come a more thorough ap preciation of the lack of facilities for the instruction of yDuth in that knowl edge which is most conducive to snc- icess along ^hese lines, o\jserv^ the i^G oo'a's ficonomiat. It is seen that '-the old-fashioned' business college does not go far enough in its conrsa of study. It is not sufficient to train boys to be bookkeepers and stenog raphers; they must be taught the broader principles on which the busi- oesB of to-day is conducted. They ■honld be educated with a view to be am ing managers of large enterprises. The last war demonstrated many things. among them the fact that the naval militia of the States can be of Jreat service as a supplement to the ■work of the men with whom the navy is a life profession. The amateur tars have made a place for themselves in the scheme of the Navy Department, and with the extended coast liiio of tjie Atlantic sad PaoiSe slope it is evi- 4ent that there is an important work which they may do.

T he advanco in tbe price of m eats o! all kinds affords opportunity to free traders fot some rem arks about trusts and the tariff, and they are harping on it w ith their custom ary rashness. To the average man who stops And thinks a m om ent the eiplallation of this in crease in price is easy. It is explained by the eimple faj:t of increaeSd con* Bumptidil. £&r6ing more money in the shape of wages than ever before, the American people are eating more m eat per capita than «ver before. O urs is a m eat eating nation. No other nation consumes anything like so large a proportion of animal food. W hile the wage earners of Europe consider them selves lucky to get meat once or twice a week, the American working men and his family eat meat three tim es a day the year round. W ith more work, more wages aud m ore appetite tho American w orking man in these days of protection and prosperity has greatly increased his m eat diet, with the result that usually follows au increase of demafld and consum ption—namely^ An increase in price. It is a condition peculiar tj the present period. Nothing of the kind occurred during the four years of free trade tariff reform, 1893-'97. Then there was no advance in food prices because of increased consum ption. On the contraiy, the prices of nearly all focdsttlffs suffered a decline because of dim inished dem and aud consum p tion. People ate less meat, less of everything in those dreary four years. The dem and for agricultural products fell off enorm ously aud prices fell off accordingly. It is estim ated that the farm ers of the U nited States iu thfi. foui years of free trade tariff legislation suffered an aggregate loss of fuUy fire billions of dollars by reason of diihinished con sum ption and decreased values of farm products. W hat the work people of this country lo.st through dim inished em pioym eiitaud decreased earnings iu thxt same distres«»ful period can scarce^ ly be com puted, lu any event they arc so much thegaineri? through pres ent conditions that they would not welcome a return of the lower food prices and the cccompanying condi tions of W ilsou tariff times. t h e n e w s e p i t o m i z e d . Conditions'ft.iTe CI>anf;«J. G eneral David B. H enderson, who will, w ithout doubt, be the next Speaker of the H ouse, -to succeed Mr. jVlr. Keed, ha? no fears about the suc cess of the K epublicau party iu 1900 aud the continuance of our present national policy. H e is quoted as say ing iu rfeply to the question w hether in bis opinion Bryau would be the D em ocratic candidate for the Prcsi- deu.’y nest year; “ He mav be. but if he is. he ^\i(l gel a much smaller vote thrtu ho did three year; ago. The ‘G rauger’ States, which iu 189C voted for Bryan, entered the Keptiblioan columu iu 189^'. They will be found th erein 1900.” Evidently,the General i.i uf the upiniou that the people ot the country know a good thing when they see it and are not going to risk the substantial benefits which they liave received through the restoration of protection for any fancy promises on the part of Mr. Bryan or any one else. The election of Bryau would mean a change from present condi tions, and no change coaid mean greater prosperity than that which we now enjoy. In 1896 the constant cry of the B ryanites was: **Any change m ust be for the better; nothing could be worse than present conditions.*’ They were uot far wTong, for the con ditions then existing, as the result of free trade tariff tinkering, were such as to bring the country almost to the verge of revolution.

Consequent ly the following statistics, compiled by the New York W orld, are of moi'e than passing interest: Area of P itts burg’s industrial K londike, 180 square m iles; num ber of industries being operated on full tim e, 118; num ber of men em ployed in these, em bracing all classes, 270,000; average wages per day, $2.15; range of wages, $1.75 to 87 per day; num ber of idle men, none, except , from sickness; num ber of m ills and factories unable to run full ■ tim e by - reason of scarcity of labor, sixty; railroads unable to move fre ig it prom ptly beoause the traffic is th irty per cent. larger than all the freight cars in service: gross daily valne of trade in Industrial K londike, $6,000,000.

Orientalist* will do well to be on their gnard !n connection with Central Asian manuscripts, which have of late provided them with such an endless subject ot discussion, says the Scots man It was Capt. Bower who flrst aiBcbvered the existence 6f some ex tremely ancient manuBcripte during “ IS grtat journey across central Asia, and Dr. Sven Hedin brought back a rich collection for the edification and mystlflcation of orientalists. Since tnen the suppiy of ancient manuscripts has b-pn very great, but it is stated tnat the gravest suspicion Is now cast upon the authenticity of a very large proportion ot these so-called relics ot antiquity. An English omcer who is now en- ^ g c d in some exploring work in Cen tral Asia has discovered that there exists In K hotan a regular m anufac tory ot the m anuscript relics, and so large is the output that he believes that at least 95 per cent of the manu scripts which have reached Europe from central Asia during recent years are spurious. The process of manu facture has been explained to him, and so impressed is he with the difliculty of distinguishing between the genuine and the counterfeit that he has him self adopted a rule of never under any circumstances buying any ancient book offered to him for sale. Meanwhile there is much searching of hearts among the owners of the manuscripts which have already found their way into European collections.

"W hat." replied the boy. "Your name, sir!" roared back the Infuriated pedagogue. ' W hat, W hat!" roared back the terri fied urchin.

The Enquirer, the Commercial Tribune and other leading papers, both German and English, of Cin cinnati. are prolific in their praises of this new and most impressive of all spectacles, which, at an expense that would seem fiibulous, the en terprising managers of John Eob- inson’s Great W orld’s Fxposition produce this year in connection with theii myriad other attract ions. There is no sense so vivid, so lasting and so conclusive as the sense of seeing, and however stu diously we may search the Scrip tures or other sacred history, the ideas that we may form and the impressions we may receive con cerning the patriarchs and sages, and thescenes, incidents and events consequent to their time, can be bnt fractionary and imperfect. To tave reproduced those personages and events and have placed scene- ographic eflfect before you; to hear Solomon re-utter his wise aud pro phetic words; to see in person She ba’s illustrious Queen; and the pomp and circumstance of hsr sur roundings; to view the great Tem ple of Solomon, not by description, but by actual inspection; to witness personally the sumptuous and re splendent festivals of the great Solomon’s court—these are the in estimable privileges which the John Bobinson Great W orld’s Exposi tion accords its patrons in connec tion with the great circns, the me nagerie, and the royal Boman hip podrome: The spectacle of Solo mon, his Temple, and the Qneen of Sheba, will be exhibited at Mocksville, Thursday, ^ p . 28.

DAY, Jew eler. umntoed To THE E ditor o p T h e L andmark : I have jn st been handed a copy of the Landm ark of the 29th of August, and I see in it a commu nication from a correspondent w'ho signs his name “ B ,” who states that Esquire A dderholdt and the Old Boman will support the consti tutional amendment. If by the Old Roman is is m eant the w jiter of this article, he is very much mistaken. If alm ighty God per mits me to live until the election, and I am able to go and vote. I will vote against the amendment. The entering wedge to the downfall of all repiiblics has been by tam per ing with the elective franchise. I have never struck a blow at onr great American Republic yet, and I do not propose to do it now in my old age. It is sheer nonsense to say th at the amendment applies to the negro only. It applies to the white man also, and I do not propose to disfranchise any white man except by his own will and action. I have other good reasons for my stand. I am not governed by w hat Bntler or any other man may say or think, and I intend to act and vote as I think best for my country. J. W . A . K e r r . Moores\-ille, N. C., Sep. 14, ’99. M r. K err, one would iufer, is a Populist, and he shows very plain ly where he stands, and gives good and sufficient reasons for his opiK)- sition to this Democratic scheme to disfranchise thousands of the un fortunate white men of the State. The history of this country, does not show that the poor and unlet tered man is its greatest enemy b j any means. Some of the best citi zens we have are poor, and by mis fortune have grown up in ignorance. In times of peril they are the ones to shoulder the gun aud go forward in defence of the govern-1 ment—and for the government to deny them a right to participate in its affairs is najnst .nnd impolitic. “ Taxation witlioiit revroMenta- tion is niijast,” and will uot be tolerated by a free and liberty [loving people. Our forefathers fonght for it, and we will m aintain it at all hazards. The leaven is working, and by next August the machine crowd will find out that unfair partizan election laws, made for the express who had made themselves intelli gent, worthy citizens, who knew nothing about the elementary prin ciples of English grammar, and in fact, ill many instances, by men who could not read or write. Knowing this, I was swift to resent any in- siuuation that the democracy would attem pt to degrade this most meri torious class of our toiling tax paxers. But since the action of our last legislature in seeking to deprive a large per ceut. of our best citizens of their right of suffrage, to claim therefore to be any longer a demo crat would be the sheerest hypoc risy on my part. I shal fight with my heart and hand and w ith every other jwwerGod has given me in the beginning of my manhood life these most to be dreaded results. I will never give my consent to the dishonorable proposition to commit the entire election machinery to one party. I will never conseut to an am end ment to our state constitution which drives out of existence all political parties except the one governing the election machinery. I believe that the arraignm ent of onr public abuses at the bar of reason is the only hojie of this republic. The party that fears this is not brave and is unlit to govern a free people. Eesp’y, J no . L. Councill . Vilas, N. 0 ., Sep. 11, 1899. Another Demoerat heard from, and don’t he talk like a patriot and lover of his State and country ? W e extend onr congratulations to Dillou M. Luther, chairman of Zeb Vance dem ocratic Club of Asheville; also to Hon. Thomas Patton, ex-mayor of Asheville, and now comes our young friend, Coun cill, whose patriotic words should inspire every lover of right and liberty to do his whole duty until the polls dose next August. God defend the right. A Pertinent Inqniry. Elsewhere in thLs issue appears a very timely and pertinent com munication from a Cabarraa popn- list making inqniry why sectimis 4 andS of the constitutional amend ment were not embodied into one section so as to remove any doubt or danger th at may exist in the minds of the i>eople aa to the dis franchisement of any white voters in the event that the state supreme court should declare section 5 un constitutional and leave the rest standing. This is a highly impor tant yea, vital qnesiion, and we wonld like to see the democratic leaders and newspa;ier8 explain why these two sections were not joined together when the amend ment was fram ed, This will get at a very im portant feature of the m atter and the motives th at actu ated them to make separate sec tions. W e do not believe that any good and satisfactory reason can be given for having two distinct sec tions when one would haveremoved all trouble. W ith only on© section and in the event of the grandfather section being declared unconstitu tional, then the educational quali fication would also have been de feated, and no white voter’s right would be in danger. W e call upon our democratic contemporaries for explanation.—Caucasian. McDOWELL & ROGERS, Winston’s Cheap dotiueil) -Bti\*nES FOB- Tliis is Prosperity. In 1890 the savings deposits iu the Chicago s.avingg banks—the savings of the laboring people— were twelve aud one-third millions; last June they were nearly forty and one-half inillions of dollars. A good showing.—Ealeigh Post. Yes, indeed. M cKinley pros perity has struck Chicago; and its effects are being serioualy felt in yorth Carolina.

The Ealeigh Post says every thing points to a good advauce in the price of cotton. The best au thorities now concede the crop cannot exceed 10,000,000 bales, which wonld mean that the staple ought to fetch at least 8 cents per pound. So convinced are the Southern mill men of this early advance in price of the raw cotton that they are discussing ways and means to meet it, saying they can not afford to pay the advance and sell their products at prices now prevailing. As contracts for fu ture delivery are the life of the business, the mill men are there fore embarrassed as to w hat con tracts for the future they are justi fied in making. We hope the farm er will soon be getting the higher price. ____________________ The Crown Cotton Mills a t Dal ton, Ga., last year declared a divi dend of 43 per cent, aud this year of 93 per ceut. This shows a tre mendously piofitable business, aud would seem to indicate that as be tween the growers of cotton and the manufactnrers of cotton there onght to be a more equitable dis tribution of earnings.—Philadel phia Eecord. 3 M AfflOTH STORES. 3 WE SELL FOE LESS, BBCAtJSE WE BUY CHF^EB THAX SMALL DEALERS.

ROBERTS, 445 Liberty Street, M’’I>"STON) X. a To the Editor of W atauga Democrat: My attention has been called to an article appearing in your paper of date August 24th, 1899, in which it is stated that “John L. Council, of Vilas, a young man whose de iaocracy has never been questioned, is holding the position of special brandy gnager,” etc. I do not know what others thiidc of my de mocracy— I voted with the demo cratic party and I resented the as sertion of the republican candidates aud speakers made at the last fall elections—that the democracy har bored evil doings upon the ballot box, or that they intendpd to re quire an educational qualification for the exercise of the elective fran chise. I knew that the energy and moral qualities of many of our illit erate ancestors had contributed largely to the development of our common country. I knew that the bnrden of state had been borne I with fierculcan strength by men A k d e n , N . C . , S e p t . 2 0 , Editor of the Gazette: W hen I was in AslHWlle Mou day ex Cotigressmau TtviOnias Settle expressed himself to u>e on the amendment as follows; H e said the fifth station of it was nnfonstitu- tional; that it Avould undoubtedly be thrown out by the courts; aud that the amendment wonld dis franchise both white aud black il literates. He said it would gohard- er with the whites than the negroes becsiuse the ignorant whites werfi mostly farmers, living where they cx)uld not get school advantages, while the negroes lived mostly in th a towns where there were good schools. WheB-Mr. Settle told me that the 5th section of the amendment would be decided untJOBstitutional and that the fourth section would disfrau- '-.hise the whit.® and blacks alike, i told him that if h&-would deliver that kind of a speech>in Western North Carolina he woWd inai-:e more votes against the amendment than all the speakers who were op posed to it could m.ake, becaii.se that would open the eyra of the ignorant whites, as coming from a man who was in favor of the amend meut J- B. S u m sek . The above letter together with the testimony of Collector Harkins and others, leaves no doubt in any reasonable man’s mind as to what the Hon. Thob. Settle thinks ol the amendment. H e is in favor of an educational qualification, aud he gives it as his opinion thai section 5 is unconstitutional. That being the case, it will, as we have all along contended, disfranchise all whites who cannot read and write. The Democrats are not getting as much comfort out of Mr. Settle’s views as at first. And when the people get through with them next August, -with a free ballot aud a lair count, (if we can get it) there won’t be a greasy spot left. On with the fight for justice and the right. Down with the dema gogues and political tricksters. 60V.

V T h e Sooth American republics are /W riving to bring abont an interna tional alliance to prom ote peace and commerce among them and minimize th e ohanoes of war. T hat is in line w ith m odern ideas and tendencies, which look to building np and produc ing rather than tearing down and de stroying as the buttressing force of na tions. ' in the progress of m odern civiliza tion we are told in one of the recent periodicals that the trolley car will soon be clanging its way past eventbe old sphinx and the pyram ids. I t will all be very convenient and pleasant for th e traveler, bu t one feels a sort of disappointm ent over the thought of invading their quiet, and thus m ixing tte new w ith the very old. Perhaps th e utm ost th at is known about the boy after several thousand years of experim enting on tiim, ob served the New York W orld in an art icle which discussed w hat kind of an education is best for the lad in knickers, is that he will turn ont any thing except what yon expect, and th a t any m elhod of training suggested by reason will produce a result direct ly opposite to w hat was intended. . .N othyithstanding the assertions ot many snperlatively good people to the contrary, the world is a better place to live in to-dny than it ever has beec. There is less'crim e in proportion to the population than there was one hundred years ago. The great trouble now is that we gain a knowledge of each day’s crim e throughout the world at tile breakfast table, whereas, in the ilays of long ago, if any particular crim e was ever heard of, tim e suffi cient had elapsed to blunt the an- uonncem ent and cause the same to be looked upon as merely an incident in Ihe w hirlgig of time. To thi) average American reader the m ost rem arkable feature of the D rey fus trial wos the Judge acting as prosecuting attorney.

I t ia probable th at m ost of the guesses at the population of the U nited States which next year's cen ROB will show are too high.

There are perhaps forty road oonventioiia slated for tbls sea son—mo.stly iu the Northwest—aador the auspices of the luters'tata Koad ImproTemeiif -\330oiatiou. Object les son roads are to be bniit at a number of agricultural colleges iu tbe 'VVeat and South. For this purpose macliin- ery is loaned by tbe manufacturer.i through the office ot Road Inquiry. Tbe use of convict labor on road im provement is spreading rapidly through the Southern States. In one locality, near Charlotte, seventy miles ot jooil stone roads have been built in this manner. I hope to interest the great concerns mnnufaoturing automo biles in the improvement of highways. Tbe misfortunes of tbe party now making the automobile trip across the country show the necessity for bettor roads for this class of vehicles." To tmproTe KoaU* !li Cuba. The War Department bas iu con. tempiatiou a general improvement of the roads and highways in Cuba. It is probable that with the iu.iugu- ration of a Gystem of road improve, ment, the present free distribution of rations to the natives in Caba will be dissontinued, and they will bo put to ■work on the improvements. In sev eral of the departments roads are al ready in existence, bat they have be come almost impassable because of neg lect and lack of use. Within the past six months several improvement com- 1 lanies have started the eultivatiou ot arms in Cuba, but they have been greatly hsndieapped by the bad con dition of the roads, and the work bas been carried on at a great disadvan tage. The proposition to put the Cabans to work on improvements in the isl and meets with the approval of the War Department officials. It is ex- jected that reports from General Jrooke will be rejeivedwithin a short time, and then a general plan for the repair ot roads will ba outlined under the dirrotion ot Assitant Secretary Meiklejohn and submitted to the President for his approval. U<e of Skelli. In many of the Eastern and South ern States road stones do not exist; neither is it possible to secure good coarse gravel. No such material can be secured except at such an expense for freight as to practically preclude its use for road building. Oyster shells can be secured cheaply in most of these States, and when applied di rectly upon sand or sandy soil eight or ten inches in thickness they form ex cellent roads for pleasure driving and light traffic. Shells wear much more rapidly than broken stone or gravel of good quality, and consequently roads made of them require more constant attention to keep them in order. In most cases they should have au en tirely new surface every three or four years. When properly maintain'd they possess many of the qualities fonnd in good stone or gravel roads, and so far as beauty is coucerued they eannot be surpasssd. Tke tUa-Eatlai lien- The man eater is very different from the ordinary lion that has not ac quired the taste for buawD flesh. Lions, as a rule, are not snch (erocloua and fear-Insplrlng animals as many Imagine them to be. They very sel dom attack any one unless they are persistently pursued or have been wounded. If they see a person ap proaching them they usually prefer to Wfnk oft Into the Jungle and hide In Ms depths. They invite no attack and are Milling a man slmuld go his way If he ■will let them alone. But it Is very different with the man-eating lion. It marks the human being for Its prey, and killing mankind Is Its profession. This is the reason It Is very difficult to catch the man eater iu the traps that are set for it. A hut Is rested with a wide entrance and in side a kid or goat It temptingly dis played In such a way that it the lion tries to carry him oft, the rope that lies the intended victim will release fhe door through which the brute has entered. It falls behind the animal and It Is trapped, and may be des patched at leisure. But nine times in ten the strategem falls to work. The ting of beasts has not entered the vil lage In the stillness of the night for goats or kids. It much prefers to dash through the low doorway at a habita tion and seize a sleeping man or wo man and then bound through fhe jun gle with the victim in Its powerful jaws, and if In the morning the natives are brave enough to beat the tall grass around the settlement, they may find, perhaps e. mile away, the bones of Ihelr unfortunate friend. Stood B it Oronnd. "Can you hollowgrlnd this raior?" asked a customer who had stepped into a raror-grlndlng establishment presid ed over by a hard-headed man with bristling hair and an aggrealve look on hU face. "You want me to hollow- ground It, I suppose?" he said. “No, Bir,” rejoined the other. “I want you to hollowgrlnd It.” "If IV» ground hol low ain’t it hollowground, sir?" "If you grind It hollow don’t you hollow- grind It,*Blr7" "Do you think you can come In here and t»ach me anything about my business? I’ve been hollow- graiajding razors for twenty-flve years ------’’ "No, you haven’t. Tou’ve been hoUowgrlndlng them." "Do yoy reckon I don’t know what I do for a living?” “I don’t care whether you do or not. Will you bollowgrind this razor?” "No, air, I won’t! I'll hollow- ground It or I won’t touch It." The customer reflected a.moment. "See here, my friend.” he said., “dan I have It ground hollow here?” “Cer tainly.” And they compromised on that basis, each feeling that he was a little ahead. ‘The other morning the cook. In cleaning oft the refuse from tbe break fast plates, deposited five waffle* In the dog's tin basin, near the stove. Major sniffed at the waffles and strolled away, apparently dissatisfied. The cook left the kitchen for a short time, and re turning, noticed that Major's basin was empty. Thinking he had eaten the waffles the washed the basin and put It back In its accustomed place. <3 _ os a og p |p - m . “ i T ’ nttW i. _ ______ ly. imited.

Although it ie impracticable, and in many cases impossible, for communi- ties to bnild good stoue roads, a sur face of gravel may frequently be used advantage, giving far better resalts than could be obtained by tbe cse of earth alone. Where beds of good gravel are available this is the sim plest, cheapest and most efiective method of improving country ro.i(ls. Tbe A nll'ltut Airitali«ji. Good roads are a necessity ia the making of prosperous farmers. There might be a hint to mauj farmers who desire to preserve the roads on which they ride to and fro ia the sign seen on trees in various parts of Long IsU-Jid. The sign reads: “Protect tbe road; don't drive in one track. ” The interest in good roads haf greatly increased, and no commuDii T worth living and working in can aOforc to do without this “importaut ageu' in advancing civilization." The “goac. roads” question should be fake up by farmers’ organizations. From whatever side wo may view the question from au economic staad- point, and no matter what the present jondition of the agricultural classss, ve cannot deny the fast that good roada are one ot the highest essentials in the line of progress, and in the better developmeut of our agricul tural resources. Good roads raise the ralae of farm lands and farm products and tend to beautify the country through which they pass; they facilitate rural mail delivery and are a potent aid to eda- cation, religion and sociability. Charles Sumner once said, “ The road and the schoolmaster are the two most important agents in advanoing civilization.” In every locality where aplendid roads are fonnd we see tbe people living along their right of way becom ing more prosperous, tbe communi ties thickening iu population, while in sections ot the country where bad roads are tbe rale, farming is at a standstill, there is no demand for laud, the population sparse and gradually decreasing.

A queen m ust be as careful In ex pressing her likes and dislikes as any person of humbler position, if not more so. Once, not many weeks ago, when she was staying at W indsor, Queen Victoria said that she lilted to be sere naded. aud this weakness of her m aj esty soon found its way into print. The result has been to destroy the good ladies early morning sleep to such an extent that guards had to be posted to warn off loyal subjects and enthusias tic visitors who wish to gratify her love for music. Some foreign farm ers that had been st.aying near W indsor for a week m et under the walls of the castle early iu the morning and sang hymns at the top of their voices aud continued to do so until they w ere po litely asked to stop. The example set by them has been catching, and, ac cording to the Sussex Daily News, every party of early morning visitors as soon as it nears the castle, bursts forth into the national anthem . One morning several groups of serenaders were singing “God save the Queen” at The same time in as many different Ivoys as there were singers.

Your grandfathers and grandmothers have sounded its praises, and many of the grown-up sons and daughters of famed North Carolina early learned to lisp the name ofi Old John Robinson with their baby lips, and ever since have proved, like true Carolinians, their loyalty to the shoiv of their youth, and no other amusement organization ever has held or ever will hold the place iu the hearts of the wUole people like the Old Eeliable John Robinson Show, and i after a long absence, diiring which it has assumed te the proportions in merit, size and magnificence—it coml MOCKSVILLE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 189 John EcbinsoB’s Tes Big Shows In connection with the Grand Biblical Spectacle—Solomon, hi Teaiple and the Qneen of.Sheba—without a parallel, acknowledged by a nniveraal public the one distinctly GREAT SHOW, the peerless ex hibition of GreaW America.
