IT'S THE SHEEREST ROT
Concord, N. C, Dec. 8, 1899.
THAT SHAKY CONSUL.
Con:e of our loading journals are
particular1 y severe (but probably
not uujcstly so) on United States
Consul M-acrum at Pretoria.
It seems be got shaky in tbo
knees when he heard the rum
bling of war or sniffed the
battle from a far and asked per
mission to "go ouV Being
twice refused he snatched his hut
and "made way ' for liberty,"
though he had on his shoulders
not v the affairs of his own
countrv but those of England
and was charged with reciprocat
ing the courtesey of that nation m
Ciiba during our troubles with
Spain. The son of Secretary ot
State Hay is hastening to 'the
post. ,
The Louisville Courier Journal
in sarcastic vein goes for him as
fallows :
"It is a serious thing for him to
dcfeett Pretoria at tbin juncture.
'But better be a vacuum tnan a
hundred and eighty pounds of
Btaropled vel. Bring Macrum
home. Pack him in cotton bat
tint; inject him with catnip;
encase him in armor plate; stow
him in ttie bowels of a battleship;
escort him with the W bite Squad
ron. Bring him home and lock
him in c safety vault or bottle
him in u.-ohol do anything with
hiia rather than allow him to
longer disgrace American man
hood abroad.'!
REQUEST TO THE SCHOOLS.
The George Washington Me-
mcViid Association sends out
a request to all schools m
the land that they suspend the
program at 11 o'clock on Decem
ber 14th and devote twentv min-
utes in memorial services in
honor ot Gen. Washington, the
centennial of whose death the
day 'will commemorate. We like
the suggestion and hope it will be
complied with in all onr schools.
' It seems supremely fcilly for
the opponents to the adoption of
the constitutional amendments to
b charging that it is a scheme to
keep the Democratic party in
power beyond responsibility to tbo
people for misdoings. It's the
sheerest rot.
Was it the class that will be
disfranchised who revolted at
fusion outrages mu! rung in
with the Democrats to rescue' the
State in '98? That evo tit shows
couclusivelv that no party or
combination can take the bit in
its teeth and run away with the
good name and interests of North
Carolina without being calitd
down But the devilment down
from '94 to J98 shov.s whnt
political schemers may do with to
large. an element of vicious
voters.
4
There'll be very few of the
Populists and Eepublicans who
voted with the Democrats in '98
disfranchieed by the amend
ments and there was a goodly
number of these or the De o
crats would not have come into
power again.
The amendments are in the
interestsof polticial purity and the
stability of good government.
Che amendments will be opposd
by many whose hearts will
approve the assertion.- But the
amendments will still have their
opposition. ?

ler is preparing to move to the
relief of Ladysmith and Kitn-

Hosiery Fire, Panic, Death.
At Reading, Pa., the hosiery
mill of theNonde and Nor'st
company was consumed by fire
on Thursday the 7th. It was a
large four-story building in
which 600 operatives, chiefly
women and childrer, were em
ployed. A panic led to the
death of one and the serious in
jury of many more.
As a cure for rheumatism Chamber
lain's Pain Balm is gaining a wide
reputation. D B John&ton of Richmond,
Ind., has been troubled with that
ailment since 1862- In speaking of it
he say&: I never found anything that
would relieve me until I used
Chamberlain's PaiD Balm. It acts like
magic with me. My foot was swollen
and paining me Yery much, 7but one
good application of Pain Balm relieved

Babyette.
The tiniest baby in existence
celebrated its birthday in Rome,
Ga. j Wednesday. It is a month
old. A prominent young physi
cian weighed it and found it
tipped the delicate scales at one
pound and a half. Its head is
the size of a turkey egg, a cop
per cent covers the palm of Its
hand its arms are the size of a"
lead pencil. It could easily be
hidden in a half gallon coffee pot.
Henry and Ida Plumber, both
mulattos, are the parents of this
remarkable girl baby, which
takes nourishment and cries like
any other infant. Selected.
