BE SCARED TO DEATH London. Oct. 17.?A short time ago a man was discovered in his lunch hour fast asleep on a plank. Hih arms were hanging down, one on each side of {be board, which was about a foot wide. Hp was snoring gloriously, and quite careless of the fact that if he turned over for great er comfort he would "tumble out of bed" 120 feet, /or that plank was part o( the scaffolding erected for the repair of a church spire. A similar disregard for danger was reported lately during the erec tion of an electric plant. One of the men engaged on th*. tall chimney,' missing his mate at the lunch hour, went up the half-finished chimney to find him. He discovered him fait asleep on a narrow ledge of brick In side the shaft, a fall from whicb meant a drop of SO feet. The other week a circus arrived In certain town, not 100 miles from London, at an early hour after a long Journey and a performance the pre vious night. As a consequence, few of the company got any sleep. That day there was the usual procession and the afternoon performance. The lion tamer had had a very rough time because of the illness of one of his beasts. The evening performance arrived, and the man had to pretend to go to sleep with his head on the body of a couching Hon, finishing up the per formance by springing up and putting his head In another lion's mouth. But when the Jumping time cam* a gentle snore was Jieard. The man twss fast asleep with his head pll f lowed on a lion. TODAYS PROGRAM ?AT? New Theatre ?THK PLYIN? TOIinClM)^ ' J Triangle Fine Aft?

BELHAVEN CITIZEN TELLS WHY HE QUIT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Mr. Editor. I have always v ted a Democratic ticket, but find th it I must change this year. I have been reading for pant four yen-it and after care ful consideration. I have come to the conclusion that an a laboring man. I have been voting against my.own In terests. Therefore I shall vote a straight Republican ticket front township constable to President of th? United States | The following are s few of the! reasons why I have changed I believe In a protective tariff, and 1 protection for atl American cltlxens. I used to think that a low tariff, or | tariff for revenue only, would be good for the laboring man. Now I have seen It tried twice. The first ' ktlme under Cleveland. You all know the dlBRRtrous result. Four years ago my party told me they would reduce the tariff and that would reduce the cost of living. We again see the disastrous result, which Is probably as bid or worse for the laboring man, than the first exper ience. The first time everything was cheap and no moqa| to buy with. Now all the necessities of life are from 75 to 100 per cent higher than ?ver with our wages the ssme or lower than four years ajfo. 1 And thajl our state government Is not rub upoif? conservative business principle In/some Instances. Oar In debtedness gets larger evsry year. Our tates continually Increase from year to year, and there are no perma nent Improvements to show for all this extra tax. I believe tb? Republican party of North Carolina will give us a better bnslnnas administration In our state, and I. as a laboring man. feel that .the laboring- sla?? ? trust then absolutely lor surely there la no eham? to make our aondllion worse. I am satiafied that*the' old scare crow of Nigger. Rutler and Bonds has only been used liy the Democrats % to whip we laboring u-u In line and for m aeano'i ti ha? had it* effect; but I have read t!>r? irttole argument fo* and against Rutler. aad I am satlkfled that our m;re^t .??talesman and patriot Dr. Kemp Battle told the truth con cerning the bond*. I ahall hereafter denounce thin grom? deception prac |tised upon i-ti'.floR pc'oplo Juat | before election l.mc. I warn all la . boring men to r* ;?d for themselves. | In our count v I feel safe In say ing that the I'rket offered by the Re I publican party, will compare very favorably with any ticket that the ? i Democrat* could sH^ot. 1 know them to be men of integrity and ability and they stand for economy, while j to notice that our outstanding In debtedness has iiftreased liy seven yeara about % I 30.000, thTk 1 nave* the Impreaalon that not eroaftm^lint ttar travagance ha* been prtftticed. Our county taxes har* been In creasing for seveqpl y<>afts,*tend With nn Increase of ahout one million dol lara In valuation laat year.jond not on* cent Increase in the assessment, I decided that the* 11 f*4** ? change, and rlsht oa.tOfr at Ctadtf our state authorities addsfl^nothpr i per, I cent. How much longer nn we atsnd j this sort of thing? t ? My laboring brethren, I hope that ; yon Will post yourselves on the con dition before you Cast your ballot, j I/et ns not let some cross-road polltl Iclaa tell ua what to do this time.
