SATURDAY, AUGUST 30th.,
A PARTY WITHOUT AN ISSUE.
The Republican party of North Caro
lina stands before the people in this
campaign without an issue something
unique in local political history. The
platform adopted at Greensboro Thurs
day, or in other words, the promises to
the voters of the State, consists almost
entirely of just what the present Dem
ocratic administration is doing for the
State. For example, the platform re
cites: "We favor the support by public
taxation of at least a four months
school in every school district in the
State." In some districts in this coun
ty the schools hold as long as nine
months and the four months term is
held all over the State. The other part
of the paragraph need not be consider
ed. It is ridiculous in that it gees back
to reconstruction days in the effort to
unearth a tangible issue: It reads:
"And we condemn the Democratic par
ty for its failure to provide proper edu
cational facilities for the education of
the poor children of the Stata during
its lease of power fi-om 1870 to 1S95."
Another outburst of Hon. Z. V. Wals
er's humor.
Again "We favor generous public
aid to all charitable institutions of the
State and the enactment of such pen
sion laws as will give the ex-confederate
soldiers a more generous and equit
able distribution of this fund than is
provided for by the present pension
laws." Exactly what the present ad
ministration has been doing making
more generous provision for the ex
Confederates and the Republicans are
howling because State funds are being
used in that manner, and for education,
and are crying "Extravagance!"
"We favor such State legislation as
will encourage the investment of capi
tal both foreign and domestic and Ave
respectfully invite capitalists from
abroad to come among us and assist in
the development of our wonderful re
sources." Very pretty, hut the capital
ists need no invitation from the Re
publican party: under Democratic ad
ministration thev are literally swarm
ing into the State and hardly a sun 1
sets that does not witness the inception
or execution of some new enterprise.
The balance cf the platform, save for
the few paragraphs devoting to vapid
railings against the ptrty in power is
devoted to criticism of the expendi
tures for education, charity and public
works which the people of the .State
endorse and for which the present able
administration is to be heartily com
mended. No sane man in North Carolina is
ever deceived by Republican platform
promises: pie is the aim of all good
Republicans. It is instilled into them
from youth up. Campaign pledges of
most gorgeous hue are used to ride
joke, they hitch the promises outside
horse in the famous entry into Heaven
m
joke, they leave the promises outside
when the pie-counter is reached. Once
elevated to power, the scramble for
pie becomes general: discretion and
future are thrown to the winds and the
hundreds of hungry doodlers are re
warded for their faithfulness to the
bosses. A political victory in the State
or even in a ccunty, without an office
for each 2x4 pie-hunter, would be tame
indeed to the Republican party.

remarkably successful work of the cars

THE GREATEST OF THESE IS
CHARITY.
The unfortunate and embarrassing
collapse of Rev. Sam Small at a Ver-
mont meeting the other night has
drawn out considerable pertinent com
ment from the press. The statement
made by Mr. Small to the press was
direct and forceful "I was drunk," he
said, 'and I have no excuse to offer."
The Baltimore Sun calls it a "manly
confession," and says, "Far better an
occasional fall from grace with a man
ly confession of weakness than a secret
sin glossed over with cunning subter
fuge and untruth. Fight on Mr. Small.
The harder the battle the more glori
ous the victory."
Witness on the other hand the un
charitable view taken of Mr. Small and
his misfortune by the Richmond News:

Thise who have seen "The Star
bucks" produced by Emmett Corrigan
and his excellent company of play4rs,
will have a desire to read the" book:
those who read the book will be anx-
ious to see the dramatization. The
gratification cf both desires . will give
pleasure, much pleasure. The story is
in Opie Read's happiest style, and that
assurance is sufficient'. The characters
are drawn from life they live through
the story and the reader lives with
them and among them they are not
creatures of the fancy. The rugged en
vironment and rustic beauty of their
simple lives is drawn in the author's
characteristic style and a rich fund of
quaint humor lends an irresistible
charm sheds bright rays of sunlight
through the clouds of Jasper Star
buck's life tragedy.
There is one beautiful tribute in the
story that cannot pass -unnoticed,
though it has no bearing on events. It
is to the ante-bellum "mammy,"
an institution that is fast, fading into
memory, and Opie Read immortalizes
her thus: "And as this old creature
walked out she still muttered bless
ings upon them; this endeared old link,
tenderly binding some of us to the
sweetest memories of the past. She is
passing over the threshold into the
"big house" of eternity, this mother of
love and charity, who sang the little
children to sleep, whose ebon fingers
bound the wounds of youth. She knew
enough of God to be all love of Christ
to forgive all wrongs." What a flood of
memories it brings to many that might
exclaim as pathetically as did Jasper
Starbuek "She was the only mother I

We a,gree with the Baltimore Sun.
It was a manly confession and ; one
which his enemies must admire. Sev
eral physicians, who were called to at
tend Mm, were really, it is stated, to
certify that his condition was due to
an overdose of medicine. We have no
doubt that had Mr. Small been willing
to have' consented to such a subterfuge
the world would never have been the
wiser as to the cause of his unusual
action, but Mr. Small was too honest,
too courageous a man for such decep
tion and openly and bravely acknowl
edged his transgression. The world
knows thr.t Small is a talented man,
a vpst'iil'man and it respects him. the
more for the earnestness and sincerity
with which he is fighting the disease
which has fastened its hoid upon him.
UNSOLICITED AND UNWELCOME.
The Republicans evidently have a
grievance against Mr. Robert N. Page,
Democratic nominee for Congress -in
the Seventh district, says the Raleigh
News and Observer, for yesterday they
endorsed him. They hope thereby that
Mr. Page will not wage earnest war
fare, upon them. By the time Mr. Page
gets half through this campaign, the
Republicans will regret, their endorse
ment and withdraw it. In 1896 Mr.
Page made the great mistake of voting
for McKinley. A thousand times he has
regretted his mistake. In 1900 he cor
rected it and voted for Bryan and the'
whole Democratic ticket.- Presuming
upon Mr.. Page's vote in 1896, the Re
publicans seek to injure him with Dem
ocrats by this endorsement which will
probably be withdrawn before election.
Mr. Page will take all the votes he
can get, but he will ask only for votes
on the ground of his orthodox Demo
cracy and his nomination by the Dem
ocratic Congressional Convention
SIMPLE REMEDY FOR TYPHOID.
The World's Work for September is
full of interesting and important
things, notable among which is the
first of Mr. M. G. Cunnifr's article on
babor Unions. Mr. Cunniff has been
living among union men and he writes
of the spirit of union methods as seen
from the inside.. Albert Bigelow Paine,
the . author of "The Broad Line," took
a trip lately from New York to Chi

his journey, illustrating it from photo

Do not be. too sure: if the govern

not much better than is anticipated
cotton will be likely to sell tor ten

There appeared recently in this
column, mention of some experiments
that are being conducted in a Chicago
hospital .with a new cure for typhoid,
called acetozone. That article has
brought out the information that right
here in the State for years, a simple
remedy has been used in one neighbor
hood which is said to be efficacious and
which does not depend, for its virtues
upon intricate combinations - of lUtle
known chemical agencies. The remedy
in question is yeast. A reader of the
News, one of the State's most . distin
u'sLed citizens, having read of the ex
periments with typhoid cures, writes
as follows:
"l note in a late issue your article on
specific remedy for ty.phoid fever. My
father cured every case in his neig
hborhood, for year.3, without a single
failure by the administration of a
times a day. He was not a professional
physician but a large slave holder and
war compelled to know a great deal of
medical science. His white neighbors
v ere cured by the same treatment.
"Typhoid fever, you know, is caused
by bacilli in the lower intestines. It
is probable that yeast is the antitoxine
:or them or at least heals the ravages
they , make-in the inner coating of the
intestine. It can do no harm if some
of 3 our physicians would test it. If
unwilling to risk the yeast alone, they
might try' it in conjunction with ordi
nary remedies if they are not such is
to neutralize the effect of the yeast."
The remedycertainlybearsthe charm
cf simplicity and there can be no harm
in its use. '!"!.? 3'iP,ifstion comes fioai
