Ihe earnest purpose of the paper will be, at all times, to present all ques tions which arise, and all mat ters which are embodied in it?- columns, in an honest and tear less, but a fair, impartial and truthful manner. With this policy outlined we desire that its inlluence be car ried to every home in Harnett and adjoining counties, and hope to have the generous co operation of all our friends in accomplishing this purpose. "Friendly support and en couragement on the part of my friends," said James Gordon Bennett, editor of the New York Herald, "has made me what 1 am, and my paper what it is." These are significant words when we consider this great man and what he has ac complished, especiall}' the good he has done and continues to do. In this country no one man can accomplish much without the aid of others in furthering his designs. Kind and helpful words spoken to a young man when in a despondent mood, so enthused and emulated him, that he became one of the greatest jurists the Anglo-Saxon race has produced. This young man was afterwards Lord Chief Justice Caliidge of England. "The Aveekly newspaper," said Thomas H. Benton, Mis souri's greatest Senator, "is an educator of the rural classes, the star that guides this class of its readers into a haven of morality and uprightness. It is their pillow of cloud by day and their pillow of tire by night." We cannot hope to accom plish what might be inferred from the language of this great statesman. We do hope and intend to put this paper into the homes of as many people as possi ble, with such influences and ideals, that the child or adult who absorbs these ideals and influences will be bettered thereby. We shall make an energetic effort to lay before the public the resources and possibilities of Harnett county. The in tegrity of its people, the rapid strides recently made in re ligion, morality and education. The characteristics of its genial citizenship together with its thrift and enterprise, in all sections. Peace in South Africa. Late last Sunday dispatches were received at the War Office in London, stating that terms of peace had been signed and the army of the South African Republic had been surrendered. The war has been going on for more than three years. The English treasury is drained of eight hundred million dollars. The lives of thousands of young men have been lost. The Boers have fought a gallant and hero ic fight. They have lost heav ily ; the young manhood of the Republic has been mercilessly slaughtered. The brave women have been seen in the ranks un der Generals Botha and Dewet fighting beside their husbands, fathers and sweethearts, but like Spartaeus have been over powered by superior numbers. We have not learned the terms of peace, but it is to be hoped that they will have ex tended to them the same forms of government the Canadians and Australians now enjoy. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy- Is everywhere recognized as the one remedy that can al ways be depended upon and that is pleasant to take. It is especially valuable for summer diarrhoea in children and is un doubtedly the means of saving the lives of a great many children each year. For sale by Hood & Grantham, kuMtt bounty Ptotfom> j At a convention of the de-1 mocracy of Harnett county held at Lillington Monday, the coin mitt* e on resolutions made the following report, which was unanimously adopted : We the Democrats of Har nett county in convention as- j sembled, do resolve : 1. That we re-atirm our al legiance and loyalty to the time honored principles of the Demo cratic party as enunciated by our fathers ; and upon which our republican form of govern ment was fashioned. 2. That we pledge the nomi nees of our party, State, Con gressional and Judicial our undivided support. 3. That we congratulate the people of North Carolina upon the redemption of every pledge that the Democratic party has made to give them good, economical, and efficient State government. 4. That we congratulate the people of the state upon the adoption of the amendment of our State Constitution, restrict ing electoral, franchise to those who arc tit to exercise that great right by reason of educa tion or inherited qualification for self government: whereby the domination of the Anglo- Saxon race is established in the State for all times to come, and which makes impossible in the future the rule of ignorance and prejudice. 5. That we congratulate the people of the State of North Carolina upon their awakened interest in the cause of popular education, whereby a four months school has been secured to every public school district in the State; fulfilling the pledge of the Democratic par ty in that particular which par ty has always fostered and en couraged the cause of popular education ; and we pledge our selves to relax no effort in the furtherance of that glorious cause until the school houses of the State shall be open for eight months in each year for the free education of the youths of our beloved commonwealth, believing that money thus ex pended will return to the State in a four-fold degree, in an en lightened and cultured citizen ship, in whose hand the des tinies of North Carolina will be secure in all the periods of the future. •0. That we tender to Gov ernor Ohas. I>. Aycock the thanks of our people for his superb and heroic efforts in the cause of popular education, and we pledge to him and his co laborers in this great cause our most loyal support. 7. That we advocate in creased appropriations by the General Assembly to the Con federate veterans of the State and to their widows to the ut most limit resources; thereby paying in part the great debt the State owes to those im mortal heroes who gave their lives and the strength of their youth to her defence. 8. That we favor improve ments in our public roads as in our opinion nothing contributes more to the enhancement of our agricultural interests than the building of good highways, which bring the farmer into closer proximity with his home markets. 9. That we recommend to our State Convention the adop tion of a resolution pledging the Democratic party to protect every interest with impartial vigilance and fairness' in the imposition of public taxes; as we believe that the future glory and prosperity of our State de pends upon the development of our wonderful resources, which can only be done by the invest ment of capital within our borders, a great part of which must come from beyond the limit of our own State, con trolled by associations with corporate power. 10. That we denounce all trusts or organizations of cap ital formed for the restraint of legitimate trade, or that in any way militates against the in terest of the people; and' we pledge our most earnest hos tility to ail}- man or party who may favor or justify such op pression ; and we look alone to the Democratic party for re lief against those trusts already formed and those to be formed under the fostering hand of the republican party, which has al ways been the friend of the trusts, notwithstanding hollow and meaningless professions to the contrary.

Th e State's resources are now un dergoing a development that has never been heretofore re alized in this commonwealth. This question is not one of man ual training a-* represented in Boston and other cities , where •tome fellow with an "overheat ed conscience," is undertaking to establish that our people can not and will not perform man ual duties. Our people already .have that training, it has come to them by intuition and en vironment. The training we are here speaking of is that training which will equip the young men of our State to en gage in-skilled labor. The Internal Improvement and Industrial development of the State indicates that North Carolina will soon be a great commercial and manufacturing State. These conditions will, require a large amount of skill ed labor. The work incident to these industries must be done. We wili have to adjust ourselves to these new phases. If the young men of the State do not prepare themselves to 'fill these positions, many of them lucrative—all good pay ing positions, the owners of these interests will have to look to other lields for it. How shall this be avoided? The answer is apparent. Equipp themselves by obtaining an in dustrial education. Spain is d> ad. This is not the Spain which spread terror over all Great Britian by de nying that Elizabeth was the lawful Sovereign. This is not the Spain that annihilated the Incas and Montezumas. Why ? Because her institutions of learning, great and small, governed by mad heads, an; turning out minds by the thousands fumbling in the past, groping in Latin accents and childish legends—all wedded to an ante-Armada state of civilization. When a citizen of Barcelona proposes a modern school instead of a bull-ring, he and his citv are unpatriotic; when a handful propose the same advance they are rebels. We should profit by this ex ample. If we do not keep in touch with progress and de velopment, the spirit of which now environs us, soon we will be relegated to the past and de servedly classed as retrogrades. The educational movement of the South, and especially of North Carolina, should cause the young men of ail classes to diligently consider the situation in regard to their future op portunities and possibilities. "This sturdy rural popula tion," said Senator Mills, of Texas, "is an economic resource, of greater value than all their: fields and mines and forests and industries." This is entirely: correct . This substantial rural! population is these State's most i valuable asset, it remans even true in North Carolina that "Princes and lords may flourish or may fade. A breath can make them as a breath has made. But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, when once destroyed can never be supplied." Virulent Clincei* 4'ui-cil.

Bears ihe Ths Kind Vcj Have Always Bought 7 Cuba is a Republic. During the third week in last month the American flag was hauled down and the Cuban ; flag raised at Havana. The little Republic under the nurture and protection of the United States has launched out into the Arena of National independence and sisterhood of nations. i The same pet e tal, on whit h Ihas stood a statue of Queen, Isabella, of Spain, for four, j hundred years ; was used to j 'place a statute on which isj j chiseled the burning words: I "Cuba Libre." President! IPaI m a has been inaugurated.) ]A party of U. S. Senators at- , I tended his inauguration and j 'returned not very favorably im-l ! pressed with the outlook for the , (young Republic. Senator Jones }of Aruansas being one of the I j number. The young Republic begins .'with a deficit in the treasury of j about $2,000,000, together with L a heavy encumbrance ou the landed estates. These estates are valued at $184,000,000 on which there is • a mortgage indebetdness of nearly $107,000,000. I in addition ihey have a heavy municipal indebti dnc'ss on (he . 1 city of Havana, Santiago and |in fact nearly everv city of the .! Island. The country has had a loyal : and patriotic soldiery, which fought and braved hardships, . selfdenials and privations more terrible than Spanish bullets, . which have been equaled only in our own American Revo l lution, and the Boer War in South Africa. No doubt a great . demand for pensions will be made by those who are disabled 1 On account of faithful service in the patriot army. They de . serve it richly. The question that will necessarily arise, is - the government able to respond to the needy in their distress, i The outlook is not encouraging, but they have very fertile lands . and considerable commercial resources. With patience, . zeal and determination on* the part of the people under • the leadership of that : hero, General Palma, who, like I out* own beloved General Wash ington—richly deserves to be . | styled the f-ither of his country ! j these economic questions will > j be settled.

Of the Jukes family, it is said on good [authority, that, beginning with . j "a good-for-nothing fellow." in . 1720, twelve hundred descen , dants have been traced, all . having been paupers, criminals, | imbecile, insane and licentious. Only twenty of them ever learn [ ed a trade and ten of these , learned it in the penitentiary. They cost the public over $l,- 250,000. The family of Jona than Edwards began with the godly preacher and pastor in 1703. Fifteen hundred of his descendants have been studied, and aixong them not one has . bc-n an imbecile, or a pauper, j only one has been insane and j but six have been criminals, jDn the other hand, 383 were ' I college graduates, 13 were c >l - lege presidents, among them • two Dwiglits and one Woolspy, the three greatest presidents Yale has ever had. In law and medicine, in railroading and| ■ mining, in army and navy in ! literature and statesmanship, the family has been at the front. Other instances of sim ilar facts have been pointed out. and the facts'can be accounted for only on the theory that heredity has much to do with it. Many might say, all to do with it.

The following is taken from the Smith field Herald, and is not a matter that interests them alone but our people as well. We heartly endorse every word. It reads* "EDITOR JIERAI.D : Dear Sirs :—I have just seen a petition going around among the people of our town asking that another passenger train he put on the road between Wil- j son and Fayettevillc. This is a! movement in the right tlirec-j tion and I hope that all the ! other towns along this line will take the matter up and circulate like petitions if they have not already done so. If ever a peo ple needed help we do. I cannot think of any place we can go lon a train and get back without | staying a day and night. Four .Oaks is seven miles from here, jlt takes twenty-three hours to imake a return trip there. Ken jly is only fourteen miles but it i takes twenty-live hours to go 'and come.

The I fast trains pass here, but i hey 'slop at only n few points and I ai;e midnight.trains vr e are j not accustomed to traveling at ; such unseemly hours. The way 'things are arranged we have for local travel only one train each way a day. The need of another train has been talked btfore and I have heard that the railroad people said it would not pay. They never | will have much local travel so ' long as things continue as they are Our people want to ride on vehicles that will go and come. We do our traveling mostly on buggies so 'a§ not to be away from home at night. Along this line of railroad we I have built factories, mills, to ! bacco warehouses, banks etc , [and we feel that we deserve a better train service. The At lantic Coast Line is a great ! railroad system. We are glad i that it passes through our coun ty. It has alreadv done much for the development of the coun ty but it could help us more by putting on another train which, if properly scheduled, would furnish us a satisfactory ser vice. Citi/.KV.

For a number of years there have been efforts from time to time to economize time in the house of representatives by doing away with the tedious roll-culls by the establishment of an electrical voting .system, whereby, instead of tiiking ;nearly an hour to call the roll, each member simultaneous! > presses an "aye" or "no" hut ton on his desk and the machine does the rest. This time killer of a roll-call, though, is ;oo pre cious a thing to the minority to he done away with. It is the filibuster's chief weapon, and neither side is willing to give it ! up. As far back as 1877 an elec triciau perfected an apparatus by which the vote of the house could he taken almost instanta neously. Each member pressed his "aye or "no" button and a register above the speaker's desk showed the affirmative and negative votes and the majority for the winning side. The house refused to adopt it; it did not suit filibusters, or even the men then on the majority side, who did not know how soon they might need the aid of the long roll-call in defeating some measure. The question of electrical voting in the house has again conio to the front, but it will v»vv probably be to the rea —Wilmington Messenger.
