The proepeets aa Men by those of onr local people who are connected there with, appear to be eepedally bright for ? better market for the rale of tobdeeo than has been enjoyed her* in many years.

An Appeal to Young Hen The (abject Is a vital one, Mid to ?bore partisan polities ud mere office balding. We hare ' progressed to the plaee where there has opened a new era in polities and sentimentality and prejudice will no longer obscure abuis sad error in government. Many of oar older men will have to discard soma prejodioee and habits of thsir lire* to realise the tremendous importance ef the new order. The old mashlne methods of amies candidates, and writing laws with bat slight regard for ths desiree and in ter cets of the naases, and relying on torch light processions, barbeoaee and corruption funds to aroase ths people to sapport a mere party nans, will not loafer be efleetire. It is rstoer the rale than the ex- 1 eeption that when the antiquated roli tiaal methods are ssaortad to that the | rsapo? s of the ordinary dttssns is: "I am not greatly latsrasted In poli Uss, It does net make any real differ eace to me who wins, the results are | The yeung men realise that this coa dition agist* bscaasa there is not | enough ml sabatanca in poll ties! eon teats. and that It Is lbs fault of falsa I lsadenhlp and methods, and machin- | cry that should hare been discarded. The people are all right, bat much I of their machinery for running their government should bars reached the | ecrap heap long ago. The loeal political boas who has no higbsr ideal in politics than to dispanss patronage should bo as much oat of place in this modern sra ss ths old wooden plow or the first steam engine. Political partiea should be mere mean tp definite and durable ends. , Volitlael parties are necessary, first because if is In this -way alone that Men who th>nk alike may act together; jfttd^they deeerve to iive only when 'they are means to deeirable ends. It is when I hey respond to the demands of society and prevent re presents tire that they inspire the interest and patriotism of ths people and deeerf e their sup port sad sacrifice. The yonng men in North Carolina ire modern in their educations and political ideals, and they have their faees turned with hope and courage to the future. They must have a political program for better ment or they will not work. Let all yonng men who refuse to be lieve that under the present system government derives its real powers from the eonssntnf the governed adopt as their motto: Inyinlam, vism ant factam. (I will fiad a way or make ene,) aad exeeate it in a spirit of pa triotism and service, and succeeding generations will rise to call them The young man and the old now rec ognise that the powers of gayemmsnt and of wealth are concentrated in the hand* ef a favored few until we have a money oHgarehy more burdensome to ?menea than is aristocracy to Eng land The older man are inclined to atop with a voica of protest and be ap palled witt hopeleesnees and dsspair at ptissal sondltioDS, hot the eomteanpla tion of leaa than one hundred men eon troling ssote than thaa half the wealth of this sountry assembled by dishoneet means tinder the law Is a call to arma to the yonng men. The contemplation of sycophants, cowards and grafters in lsgfslative halls (both state and national), kissing and hands that rob the peor should arouse the fighting spirit of young Thia is the real appeal of Democracy to the yoong/Mn. ^ The maa who advocate stealing under the forma of law, if ha and his folks are given a part of the loot, or who will ran up the white flag in a fight tor principle in order to hold or secure po litical ofilca has ao proper place in public life, and the call to the yoang mea Is to see what ought not to I will not be. What I have said lasds me to eo_ elder what 1 believe to be tha best meane to be employed by the ye Sag mea to provide them eel vee an oppor tunity for service. I repent political parties are aeos_ aery. New partiea are never formed except in timec of political revolution. It la generally easier to reform an old party thaa to form a new one. What can the young man in North Carolina do to accomplish most in pe mm | . / I Wrote not ao a partisan, but as a citissr who deciree them to accOm- . pllsh the grsateet good for all the peo- | pie. I The weptiblieen party has la it t large a number of prominent men whose Lole reason for being re publics is the' opportunity to revel [in the ledorsl patronage that this alone I mains ft ?ndcsirabl* as an instraaient (to awi Alish pablis pood, and through which to work reforms. Beside* this, the republican party hss taught the theory of protection of classes, at the expense of larger claiaee ao km* that thii tenent of It faith ia it* controlling idea. Out of this spirit ef favoritism nndnr the law baa grown up kindred policies ?uch aa subsidies, toleration of those who ferm trusts and commit robbery, and to receive benefits of these repub lican policies, that -the taak of reform ing there publican party In the Seutk is not a practical one. Iam so blind a partisan aa to fall to see and assert that In some of the sUtss, natebly Wisconsin, the republican party haa famished the beat mean* by and through which righteousness ha* been promoted, In tilt toath th# only opportunity f?r real auviii to the country, is tkrouj|h the Democratic party. A I ft? ly admit that the erganixed ?aohlnery at the party ha* at tlaus beeousad not for, but sgalnat the people* (ate rests, but it haa nayer been doae when aa open aad aggrssaivs fight bas been made within the party to prevent 11 The masses of the Dem ocratic voteri in North Caroling have nerer been appealed to in vain in faW at intelligent and patriotic action for the gsasral good. Then th* peoples' will has not been the party of the Democratic party, it haa when interested agents of spsciid privilege hare concealed their cooneo tiona, and have, aa elate- makers wire-puller, worked by indirection, *id by underground methods to accamplfah their end*. The real Democratic party in North Carolina i* not in favor of serving the tew at the expense of the many. It really bigevaa-'in eqtal rights. It is Against tariff protection, subsidies, trusts and corruption ia polities. The light for the right ia as Aid aa the civ ilised world, and must continue till the millenium. The victory in each year and eaph year in each generation depends on the eficieney of the fight ers. Let those who prefer ' the right be indebted and the battle ia loet to the wrong side. ?11 those whu sre real friends to the Democratic party will welcome to its oouncll* and to it battles the young and virile manhood of the state. If they see wrongs that should be righted let them right them. If they aee the intereata intrenched in power in the upper branch of the General Assembly session after session. Jet them expose the real conditiona and work reforms. If they s?s th* party in the state or any county toloratiag wrong because it is practiced in the party name, lets teach that be is the beat Democrat who trie* hard**t to make his party better. If they find the party any where suffering for ths right kind of leader, let th*m In the spirit of seme* undertake the taak ol leading. This is th* sppeai 1 betters Democracy is mak ing to young men. It is an sppeai that older men are making, aad it is ths kind of ssrrice they will welcome. There sre many older men, the he roes of many battles, who are ip fall sympathy with ths fight, and who are real leaders, but they are wise eoaugh to see the necessity lor the help of younger raea, and generous to euoogk welcome it.

S tailings lost his feed house, a lot of feed, carriage, etc., by lightning. Feeling a great interest in oar school I am prompted to say, it is a fact that the present day school books, especial ly the resders are very different from the books of fifteen or twenty years ago. Then 'the selections chosen for the young to study were aa inspiration. Truthfalneas. courage, politeness, de votion, sympathy, etc., were emulated in prose snd poetry. Stories trae to every day life ef the ebtld were in this way set before him for bis considera tion. The present day readers abound in fauy tales and fiction. We all ' know that truth is one of the principal attri butes of God and also the grace of the sigliteoas. ' To me' it Is a serious matter to have the plastic minds of children filled with untruths.
