A ONE-SIDED VIEW.
The Monroe Journal condemns Rob
ert Louis Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde" because a Vermont criminal
ascribed his downfall to the impres
sions the book made upon him. The
Journal's contention is all right so far
as it goes but it fails to take cogniz
ance of any other view of the question.
If "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is to be
excluded from our libraries, what's to
be done with Robert Knott, the emin
ent Scotch lecturer, who takes the
story as the basis for his most justly
celebrated lecture a lecture that must
bring out the good in every man, if
there is any good in him. And, again,
what of the numerous pulpit deliver
ances based upon the same book. The
Journal , is wrong; all wrong. If the
Vermont person had drawn from the
story the moral the author intended
to convey, and carried it into his daily
life, he would not now be behind pris
on bars. The trouble writh the Ver
monter, was not that Stevenson's fam
ous story led him to commit crime; the
criminal propensity was born in him
and it had to come out. He would have
ccme to the same bad end if he had
never heard of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde."
EXAMPLE FOR BUSINESS MEN.
According to the financial report of
the Charleston Exposition, $49,479 was
spent for advertising. Commenting up
on the fact the Columbia State says:
"We have never known an exposition
so poorly advertised except by news
papers which gave their services to the
work without seeking compensation."
This leads the Asheville Citizen to
observe: "And, The State might very
truly have added, this failure to prop
erly advertise was, more than any
thing else, the cause of the poor at
tendance upon the exposition and its
consequent financial failure."
News took occasion to remark that the '
financial failure of the big show was
due, almost entirely, to the fact that
it was insufficiently advertised, and
this opinion was vouchsafed long be
fore any figures were obtainable. It is
some satisfaction to learn that that
opinion is borne out by the facts and
figures.
Many business men may draw a pro
fitable lesson from this shining exam
ple. A LESSON FROM DEFEAT.
From the defeat of Governor John
ston at the recent primaries in Alaba
ma, the Raleigh News and Observer
draws an instructive and interesting
lesson. It says:
As between Johnston and Jelks, the
people would have chosen Johnston ten
to one. He is a far abler man and in
every way better qualified. But he
made a fatal mistake when he threw
himself against the amendment that
cut off the negro, vote. He said he was
in favor of getting rid of the negro
vote in some other way, but the peo
ple decided to take no chances. The
victory of Jelks is not a personal vic
tory for him or a personal defeat for
Johnston. It is an emphatic declara
tion that no man who stands against
honestly suppressing the ignorant
negro vote can hope for success in any
Southern State.
That lesson has not been learned by
some would-be leaders in North Caroli
na. Perhaps they will learn it after a
second defeat this year.
The Republicans of Mecklenburg are
the first to bring the impeachment
question into politics, says the Raleigh
News and Observer. They denounced
and condemned "The action of those
members of the last Legislature, who,
high-handed and unwarranted, at
tempted to impeach our Chief Justice
and Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court."
The best thing the friends of Mr. T.
H. Hill can do is to advise him to with
draw his announcement regarding his
candidacy -for the Chief Justiceship
and re-ally himself with the party. The
second and last fiasco, called to en-

And there wasn a Democrat in the
crowd.
In the death of Judge David Schenck
the State has lost one of its most gift
ed and loyal sons. He leaves to per
petuate his memory, not only an hon
ored and esteemed name, but a lasting
monument in historic Guilford battle
ground, the preservation of which was
due in great measure to his individual
effort.
AT ARLINGTON CHURCH.
Picnic and Educational Rally to be
held Saturday.
There will be a basket "picnic and
educational rally at Arlington church,
in Clear Creek township, Saturday.
Speeches will be made by. Revs. , j. Q.
Adams and L. R. Pruett and Mr. W. C.
Dowd. A good crowd is expected to at
tend. Prof. R. J. Cochran, superintend
ent of education for the county, ex
pects to be present.
The educational rallies in Mecklen
burg for the past three weeks have all
been well attended and the one to be
held in Clear Creek Saturday will prove
no exception. There is an exceedingly
lively interest being taken in all edu
cational matters in Mecklenburg. The
people are thoroughly aroused to the
needs of more and better schools and
those who speak along this line are, at
all times, accorded an attentive hear
ing. How's This?

Give the Workingmen Holiday.
Editor News:
It strikes me that it would be an
excellent idea for the mills and man
ufacturing establishments in and
around Charlotte to shut down on
next Monday Labor Day and give
their employes a hard-earned holiday.
The Congress and the State have both
proclaimed Labor Day a national holi
day: it is the one day in the 365 set
aside for the laboring man and his
cause, and in view of the fact that an
elaborate celebration of the holiday
is to be held in Charlotte, it would be
appropriate if every laboring man in
the city was granted a holiday that
all might enjoy this celebration prop
erly. It is to be hoped that all em
ployers will take kindly to this sug
gestion. W.

WOMEN AND JEWELS.
Jewels, candy, flowers, man that
is the order of a woman's preferences.
Jewels form a magnet of mighty pow
er to the average woman. Even that
greatest of all jewels, health, is often
ruined in the strenuous efforts to
make or save the money to purchase
them. If a woman will risk her health
to get a coveted, gem, then let her
fortify herself against the insiduous
consequences of coughs, colds and
bronchial affections by the regular use
of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup. It
will promptly arrest consumption in
its early stages and heal the affected
lungs and bronchial tubes and drive
the dread disease from the system.
It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain
cure for coughs, colds and all bron
chial troubles. You can get this re
liable remedy at Fitzsimons Drug
Co.'s.
A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED.
At Panama. Colombia, by Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy.
Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent
physician, of Panama, Colombia, in a
recent letter states: "Last March I
had as a patient a young lady sixteen
years of age, who had a very bad at
tack of dysentery. Everything I pre
scribed for her proved ineffectual and
she was growing worse every hour. Her
parents were sure she would die. She
had become so weak that she could not
turn over in bed. What to do at this
critical moment was a study for me,
but I thought of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as
a last resort prescribed it. The most
wonderful result was effected. Within
eight hours she was feeling much bet
ter; inside of three days she was
upon her feet and at the end of one
week was entirely well.' For sale by

The Cologne Volks-Zeitung wants

not move in the matter the moral sua
sion will be exerted from Europe.

A Cure for Cholera Infantum.
"Last May," says Mrs. Curtis
Baker, of Bookwalter, Ohio, "an infant
child of our neighbor's was suffering
from cholera infantum. The doctor
had given up all hopes of recovery. I
took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to the
house, telling them I felt sure it would
do good if used according to direc
tions. In two days' time the child had
fully recovered, and is now (nearly a
year since) a vigorous, healthy girl.
I have recommended this Remedy fre
quently and have never known it to
fail in any single instance." For sale
by R. H. Jordan & Co.
Those West Virginia gentlemen who
lynched a couple of innocent men re
