Judging from appearance, unless
there ia a great ohauge, the days
-a ?? at th? republican party are nambeted.

Have you heard anybody eay
"that it* a fine tariff law.'' except
President Taft, Senator Aldrieh ot
some of their close colleagues, whe
were instrumental in its passages.
Tub republicans sees to be mak
ing quite.a mess of the peetofiiee affairs
in Western Koith ?Cart-lias.
Bowever it is nothing unexpected ss
the people generally, are sufficiently
educated to know the fruit that s
' . tree will bear. = L
The Progressive Parmer, in ita
poultry edition of last weak, presented
quite and industrious appearance.
This is a paper well worth many
? tines its oost to the farmers and its
editors and management are always
ob the look eat for -"somethieg
better." .
^
' -?-Wi notioethat some of the Senators
and Congressmen are holding
thai the negro is as much entitled to
the "census pie" as the whitea This
seems strange to us. Wonder would
those same men as seen hare a negro
eall at their home for this purpose as
a white man? -?
If the republican party is ^s it is
elaimed by the leaders to be the par"y
ty for the best interests of the largest
numbsr of ths people, then it
leoks_te^us that Utey are at work a
long ways from home. On the other
band it leeks as if it laughs st
these who support it and says "you
sis too ignorant to knsw what you
want."
''jh " ' " Wn take the following item froai
the editorial columns of the Washiagtoa
Post, which showa that it ia
not only the people of the South
who are dissatisfied with the preaent
tariff law: ^
"Ths tariff's piotara may not be in
the re toes' gallery, but in the minds
of thousands it ia a very suspicious
character aevertbeleae."
DEMOCRATIC DAYS PREDICTED
Harper's Weekley of current issue
Leads its editorial columns with this,
v under date of Washington,February,
1, and presumably written by Col.
, George Harvey after a visit to the
national canital: "The Republican
party is bitted. It hasn't a majority
in the house and probably not in the
Senate. It cannot enact the Taft
measures. Its fighting elements are
irreconcilable. Both want-to see the
Democrats carry .the next House and
elect a Kit" of Governors. Each pro~
* - poees to really nominate its own can
' didate for President. Thia is official."
Colonel Harvey concludes with an
admonition to Democrats to "get
"" wis'U-^'anil ^tl bu?_i!"
In junThnd the public's opinion,
r Colonel Harvey generally knows
wtjatlie js talkjng About.?Many oth
er close observers have lately been
saying the same thing. It is un,
* doubtedly probable, even though a
real truce between , the insurgents
iv _. and the machine should be patched
*"! np, thatthe next Houd<Jwill be Demooratic.
If wejwere assured that
Uncle Jad Harmon, of Ohie, sr some
other strung runner would receive
the nomination,ws shoald regard the
election of a Dersocratio President in
1012 as probable.?Charlotte bserver

^J' V

Geo. A. P. Hill owned none, snd
Gen. J. E. B. Stuart inherited one
and purchased another, hut disposed '
of both before the war. Fitahugh ,
Lee owned none, while Matthew F. i
Maury owned but one, a woman.wlro |
remained in his aervioe some years i
after the war. Maury said the m- stitutioo
of slavery was a "curse." |
According to the author, even i
"Stonewall" Jaokaoa owned but two j
slaves, a man and a woman, both of i
_ whbm he purchased at their own j
solicitation. Be told them that they <
could purchase their freedom by snv- i
ing their wages and re-imburatng i
i him fot their purohaae price. The ;
man aid this, bet the woman pre1
ferred to remain in the service of
the family; ,
The story strongly supports those
who haye always onntsaded that the
Ssuth fought for priuoiple rather
than ths fortunes tied up in sltvss.
It makes it elesr that ths generals
who led the cause were oertalnly inspired
by anything bnt selfishness.?

SMALLPOX,

Ihe pert of the people of being vsooi
sated (that is my sora arm) has been
rem a red. Now antiseptics are so
ihcAonghly ased in the sot of vaccinating
and the vires ased has bean
K> thoroughly treated in the same
intiseptio manner that the danger
it having a sore arm, that obtained
when the virus was taken from the
leak of any individual who-might ba
iiffering witn impure blood or asms
disease, is removed. Sr. the people
aeed not be so afraid of iraore arm.
the mildneee ef the eaaee of smallpox'of
these days is the result of .
many years of vaocination. Some of .
die people sayThis ia net smallpox
Meause it doesn't kill any one. Well
the majority of cases are rpild, I am
glad to say, tint this ia the remit ef
paot vaccination. If this disease ia
not smallpox why is it that vaccina
Uen puts ita oat of existence. There'
a not the eliaduw of a doubt that it ia
not smallpox and every good citizen ,
ought 10 be willing to be vaeciDatad
in order to protect the people of tba
whole county. It vaccination isn't
sarried out thoroughly it is going to
wet the county a ^reat loaa in tine,
nonev, sickness and perhaps death.
