STATES MoKEY WELL SPENT. 1 the charge made by the Republican Chairman that Aycock and Glenn spent more money than Russell spent, we plead (guilty and rejoice in our guilt. But we say to the Republican Chairman and the Re publican party that for every dollar the Democrats have spent under Aycock and Glenn they gave the people something to show for it. We have squandered not a cent. We have stolen not a cent. We have spent enormous Hums ot money for schools we have sjieut ji million dollars more last year )r acUusls. we have raised the rate of gen eral taxation for schools not a farthing, and we have cohered the land with school ZZn utoWi Orolina would tear j 1 -I . 1 t ...,.ia leases which Aycock and Glenit have built d ii;ng the last four years in order to re- coiiL tV Suite for the cost of their con- I What man in North Carolina would! mother ine lire ul nope aim exiuiginsii ; lijit of knowledge which burns as a result1 of this expenditnie in tbu minds and hearts ' of thi, one bundled thousand school children ! who have been added to the school nils by! the D 'tn i-r .ts, in order to recoup the State for ihis outlay. j TVehave spent more money for the insane ; isybmis at Rnleiith, M.irganton. and Holds I boro than Russeil spent, but we are main- j taining today live hundred more patients j than Russell maintained during his adminis- ; trillion. ! What man in North Carolina would take the-e unfortunates out of these asylums nr.d send them to the common jails of the coun ties from which they came to save the State the expense of their keep We are spending $1.10,01)0 a year more for the Confederate Soldiers and for Soldiers' lloines than Russell spent. 7hat m ill in Norih Carolina would take these decrepi I old heroes out of the comfort able homes we have provided for them and send them hack to tin poor houses in the counties from which they came? If there lw any such man in North Caro ina. iu "Sod's name, he ought to belong to the Republican party. Is it fitting that a man should vote for a party which has never shown any friendship or sympathy for the South? Is it fitting that such a man should vote for a party which enjoys the bad dis tinction of having only a few years ago nom inated two men for the legislature who de clared on the stump in their canvass that every Confederate Soldier was a traitor and purjerer and that these sildiers instead of abusing their party for disfranchising them after the war should lie thankful that they were not sent to the gallows or penitentiay. For these and further like things, the Pem-j ocratic party has spent many hundreds of thousands of dollars, yea, even millions of dollars more than was spent under Russell, I but we have done it all without adding one ' fartluug to the tax npou any man's head; without increasing to the extent of a farting the rate ol tax-s upon the property ,, the citi.eu f. r Stale purposes. We have raised thio additional amount of money partly from f.aiu-h'ne and piivilcs taxes, hut largely by nutUiug tho great pub Uc service corjivralioiia iu tlU State the i.it'.. ' . ;i . . ; 'i. . r s . .;d insurance companies, pay nure nearly their just share of the taxes. We have not only done this, but the State . has, during the last few years, begun to pay back to the counties more than half of all the money they pay directly into the State treas ury. Last year the State paid back to forty one counties for use by them for schools and for pensions for their old soldiers, ami for the care of their insane and fdeuf, dumb and blind, more money than those counties paid into the treasury. There is one thing for which we have not spent as much money as Russell spent. We have not sjieut as much for the penitentiary as l.ussell spent by something over four hundred thousand dollars. I'nder Russell the penitentiary cost the people of this State alout two hundred and lifty thousand dol lars. Under Aycock and Glenn the peniton tiary has not cost the Slate one cent, but after paying all expenses, has cleared two hundred and nine thousand dollars We have had to issue some bonds since we took the State out of the hands of the liepub- licans in l'.IOO. We and ortr children will 'ave W t,,e 'mtern,t "" ,ho'" They I were issued to make good Russell s niisinan-1 agemeut of the penitentiary and to pay the i Sju,u judgment which Russell and j Butler secured against the State.

There is another tiling the Den done since they came into powc n North .oinphiin Caroln.a ot which ihe l.epulilicah father who wanted free liquor for his lioy: There may be people iu North Carolina, goad people, who do not believe in anti liquor legislation, but there are no good men in North Carolina or elsewhere, who believe that drunkenness is a good thing and who want to see it unrestrained. The Watts and the ward law s have closed several hundred grog shops iu North Caroli na and shut down between four and five hun dred distilleries. It is nutural that the Re publican party should feel that the cl sing of these grog shops and distilleries is a bad thing for it. The addition by these laws of three or four hundred Federal offices isa seri ous tiling to a party who live upon Federal patronage, whose leaders are either office holders or office-brokers. But whatever the Republican party may think of the closing of these distilleries and grog s-lmps, there are not many other people, whatever their opiu ion of .umptuary laws may ,,, who believe Chew What You Know rjTV. .... , .:.'-j6l,'.V.-':.''V't;''Vj-:.' f's" ..:--.v..- Know What Yon Ira There is real pleasure in chewing the best tobacco grown where the best tobacco grows in the famous Piedmont Country. Only choice selections of this well-matured and thoroughly cured tobacco is used in making SCHNAPPS. That's why SCHNAPPS and others of the Reynold's brands, as shown by the Internal Revenue statistics for a fiscal year, made the wonderful growth of six and one quarter million pounds, or a net gain of one-third of the entire increased consumption of chewing and smoking tobaccos in the United States. Evidently, chewers cannot resist the flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS because SCHNAPPS cheers them more than any other chewing to bacco, and every man that chews SCHNAPPS passes the good thing along one chewer makes other chewers until the fact is now es tablished that there are many more Sold at SOc. per R. J. REYNOLDS . r Toi'o 2tX&nve Ercmo mnmt nioral welfare of the State has been crippled by this decrease in places where drunkards are made, fortunes spent and lives wrecked. &.s I said before, the Republicans in an am biguous sort of way, complain of theee laws and seek underhaudedly to make capital against the Democratic party out of them, but while doing this that party has not to this day had the courage to take an open and manly position upon this question. Up on it they blow both hot and cold. Where it is thought thai more votes can lie made by being for liquor, it is for liquor; where it is thought that more votes can be made by lieiii" for temperance. It is doing .with reference to this great question what it has done with reference to many other grave questions that have confronted the people of the State in the past and that now confront the people like a coward and a sneak, it sets straddle of the fence and tries to play with both sides. I challenge the Republican party in this State to come out in the open upon this question and toll the people if they are put in power whether they would repeal our leg islation and again set liquor free in Xurth Carolina miil'oiunos oiMJll Tin' Republican Committee, as well as the Republican party generally, criticises tho Democratic Corporation Commission and find Uif "j".1 ourf P,ulfo.nM 'rations against i,iura,ra iiiiTOiTOiir.,.Pmi omu v iew of i uv,p,ii.. . ... , 7 , .. ( oniunssion regulation of railroads in the Suite, we had no right to expert any sympa thy from it, either for the Commission or lor the advanced position which the Democratic Convention at ( i reensboro took, either nfou the subject of railroad interference in politics or die reduction of railroad rates. That party has always been opposed lo a railroad commission. It has never stood with the people of this Slate in their strug gles wita i he railroads. When the I'eino crais proposed a Railroad Couinii-sion, it opposed it. When the Democrats passed the bill establishing the Railroad Commission, it voted against it. What has lieeu accomplished in North Carolina in the way of railroad control ami regulation has lieen accomplished without the hel iof die Republican party. When the Democratic Convention at Greensboro made its declaration in favor of lower rates, it was not unmindful of the fact lliut the present Corporation Commission had made many material reductions in both freight and uisseuger rates in North Caroli na. It was not unmindful of the fact that as a result of these reductions both freight and iassenger rates on domestic business are to day lower than any State iu the Union, ex cept in Ohio, which recently, through its first Democratic Legislature in a decade, has pass ed a law establishing a lower passenger rate than prevails in this State. When it made that declaration it was not unmindful of the fact.that the present Corporation Commission has greatly increased the assessment for tax es of the projierty of our railroads and pub lic service corporations and as a result of these increased assessments the three great trunk lines running through this State the Southern, the Seaboard, the Coast Line, are assessed higher per mile for taxes than in any other State through which they run, and ihat the State Counties and teams are now receiving from these corporations something ov r ifTiifl.OOO a year taxes 430,000 of pound in 5c. Cuts. Strictly TOBACCO COMPANY, Cure a Cold in One Day , . . . which did not pay a cent under Republican assessment. The Democratic Convention did not intend by their platform declaration to rebuke this good work, but it intended to say that while rates are lower in this State than in any other state, they are still too high both here and elsewhere. The Democratic party not only promises that through tho joint action of the Legisla ture and the Commission will secure lower passenger and freight rates, but that the railroads of this State shall be made to take their hands out ,of politics und to obey the law as other people have to oliey it. The people of North Careliua are not interested in the Republican criticisms and slurs contained in the Republican platform on the Railroad Commission. What the people of North Carolina want to know, is what is the position of the Republican party in the State upon the question of reduction iu freight and passenger rates, and upon tho still greater question of railroad interference in the politics of the Suite. Is that party iu favor of a reduction in freight and passenger rates? It does not say so in its platform. Is it opposed to railroad interference in politics? It does not say so in its platform. I have already talked too long about State matter. I wanted to tell you ol die wonderful impetus the wise laws und good government we have given, has given to the material development of the State but I have not the tincnor is it neccessary you know it, feel it, s-eitiii is ever)' where tangible and is visible to all who have the eyes to sec it. But upon this fubje 't I want to say that in my judgment the chief asset of the Demo cratic party in North Carolina consists not in the things it has done for the material but rather for the things it has done for the spiritual well being of the jvople. Especially is this true of its record of achievements for the last six years. The good government, the low taxes, the wise and frugal administration, ihe prosper iiy and growth which it has given to the peo ple make up a record of which t hut party should be proud and for which the people should be grateful, but the mind jiower and the soul power which Democratic legislation has awakened and brought into lieing in North Carolina in the last six years is an asset which in every one of the long years to come will overflow the coffers of the peo ple with ever-waxing dividends upon every dollar we have spent to make better and stronger the mind and heart of lxith man and child. For the humble part. I have tuken in all this work I am proud. It shall lie the proudest heritage I shall leave to my chil dren. But the part of this work for which I have the greatest pride is that which has brought to the people treasures which neither moth nor rust can corrupt. I deny that the financial uud tariff legisla tion of the Republican party has brought prosperity to the people. But if they have brought prosperity iu dollars and cents, they have .also through the greed and op pression of the trusts and monojKilies whose laws have cheated and filled the hearts of the people with bitterness and hatred with a corroding sense of wrong and injustice, and enthroned in the highest temple of the peo ple the Mammon of civic unrighteousness.

SCHNAPPS pleaces all classes of chewers: the rich, be cause they do not find a chew that really pleases themf better at any pries ; the poor, because it is more economical than the large 10c. or 15c. plugs and they get their mon ey's worth of the real snappy, stim ulating flavor so appreciated by to bacco lovers. All imitations con tain much more sweetening than SCHNAPPS. They-are made that way to hids-, poor tobacco improp erly cured.
