BRODGHT ON BY REPUBLICANS SAYS CLARK. \ In a Hot Speech Addressed to the House Champ Clark Declares Republicans Caused Panic. Declares President's Whole Life Has Been One Long Ses sion of Specraculat Fights— Predicts Next President a Democrat. Washington, D. C., Repre sentative Champ Ciark, of Mis souri, addressed the house of representatives on the presi dent's special message to con gress, the financial disturbance of last fall and the tariff ques tion. In opening Clark, asserted that a reasonable view should be taken in matters touching the president, but it had not - been as a rule. "He is .such a belli gerent personage,'' he declared, "that his lightest word is a challenge to a combat." "The president," he said, "could not express his views upon any question under Heiven even upon a subject s« prosaic and threadbare as the prospec tive state of the weather, with out precipitating a row. The president's whole public life," said Clark, "has been one long succession of spectacular fights. No man has baen more viciousl/ assailed by men of his own party and none was ever, while still in the flesh, so lavishly lauded by some of the opposing party." Individually he wished the president well, until March 4th, 1909, when he hoped the presi dent would quit forever. "For," he added, "no presi dent will ever be elected to the third term till the republic is on its last legs," Addressing himself to the re publicans, Mr. Clark exclaimed: "And the signs cf the times in dicate that even the "Ready Letter Writer," in the white house cannot write enough let ters between this and the first Monday in November to give yoy another majority in the house." He predicted that "on March 4th, 1909, a Democratic, backed by such a Democratic majority in this house as will induce even the Republican Senate to enact laws of the peoples will." Coming to the-eubject of the recent financial disturbance, Clark laid it at the door of the Republican self-constituted de fenders of the president. He said: "Harriman and his crowd swear that the president and his crowd did it. "One thing we know," he said, "and that is that Mr. Hamman was a dele-! gate to the last Republican na tional convention which nominat ed Colonel Roosevelt," Clark declared: "It is a Republican panic and gives a lie direct to the Republican platform declara tion of 1904 that Republican tariff is always followed by a business prosperity - and that Democratic tariff by business adversity. That' fake is ex ploded. "No doubt," he said, "theße publicans were preparing for another stupendous confidence game on the people., by promis ing a tariff revision in their next platform, without indicating whether the revision was to be up or down. "The Republicans" he charged "had won in 1896 by a.juggle on a financial question. Now, he remarked, "the Republicans were meditating a juggle as to coinage. In conclusion vCJlark said: "In the impending conflict, I sum mon every Democrat in all this broad land to serve under the D imocratic banner and for Dem ocrat ic principles—principles iwaicn the immortal Jefferson % enunciated, which heroic Jack son upheld and which are_ as dear to the hearts of the people this day as they were a century ago. Fighting under that ban nar and for those principles we won 14 presidential elections out of 30 and can win again and again, till we drive Republicans from every place of power, thereby restoring government to safe, wise wholesome and patrio tic policies of the fathers—a con summation devoutly to be wish ed."

It has been our custom to be very lenient X in this respqflt because we know that some of our \ best friends who prize the paper most highly are of- X 8 8 ten forgetful about remitting at any special time. X When they get round to it they always square the X account up to date and pay a year ahead. X Q The Government has been obliged to make this X 8 ruling because some publishers have abused the priv- X ileges heretofore enjoyed. X 8 1 feel sure that you will understand the position X in which we are placed and realize that we are al- X lowed no choice in the matter. X Furthermore, let me«say that there never was a X time when we appreciated more heartily the loyal X support and sympathetic co-operation of our friends. X This has been an extremely trying season for all X § publishers and doubly so for us. And I think you X §must have noticed that we are redoubling our efforts A to make the paper attractive and helpful. X - If your subscription is one of those which will X §§ be in arrears as much as one year by April Ist, 1908, X we earnestly hope that you will come in as soon as X possible and arrange so that we will not have to part X company with you. We don't want to lose a single X §§ one of The Democrat family. X We are offering a $60.00 Sewing Machine for a Q club of 36 cash subscribers, or renewals, to The Q Democrat. This machine will be given to the party X Q first securing this number. Parties getting up clubs ft 8 8 of five or more cash subscribers or renewals will be ft given a year's subscription, free, to the Thrice-a- O _ Week World, Thrice-a-Week Constitution or Cor- ft Srect English. This gives every one a premium for Q _ his club and pays well for little effort. 1 X 8 We give the Southern Agriculturist, free, one Q year to every subscriber paying up and renewing Q A his subscription to The Democrat. A Newspapers Compared with Hand Bills. A newspaper has 5 OOO readers for each 1,000 subscribers. A Merchant who puts out 1.000 handbills get possibly 300 to 400 people to read—that is if the boy who is trusted to distribute them doesnt chuck them under the sidewalk. The handbills cost as much as a half column adver tisement in the home paper. All the women and girls and half the men and boys read the advertisements. Results — the merchant who uses the newapaperhas3 500 more read ers to each 1.000 of the papers readers. There is no estimating the amount of business that advertising does bring to a merch ant but each dollar invested in advertising brings to the invest or somewhere from S2O to 1100 worth of business.

Careful mothers keep Foley's Honey and Tar in the house and give it at the first sign of danger. Foley's Honey and Tar has saved many little lives and it is the only safe preparation for children as it contains no harmful drugs. W. S. Martin & Co. The "old regulars" are com ing in nicely.

The Traveller's Club met quite a large attendance in spite of the weather. Quotations from Tom Moore fittingly introduced Mrs. A. B.

Mrs Cline gave "The Drama in Ireland" showing that its life and vigor are due to the Irish Dramatic society of today and to the company organized in 1901. Miss Seagle's paper on Rich ard Brindley Sheriden proved with interest how heredity counted with him when six generations of Sheridans before him were men of great and var ied talents. Mrs. Chadwick read for Mrs. J. H. Shuford in her absence her topic on "Peg Woffington," bringing out the gifts and charms of this fasinating actress.

THE JUMPING OFF PLACE. "consumption had me in its grasp; and I had almost reached the jumping off place when I was advised to try Dr. King's New Discovery; and I want to say right now, it saved my life. Im provement began with the first bottle, and after taking one dozen bottles I was a well and happy man again," says George Moore, of Grimesland, N. C.

I n the spring of 1865 the writer was a student of-€atawba college which was under the care of Prof. W. J. Clapp and Eli Warlick During the same spring the army of General Stoneman came from the Mountains of Tennessee into the Western part of North Carolina, and part of the army reached Newton. A few days before the army reached Newton some of the good women of the town decided to destroy the Confederate liquor which was stored away in the depot. The late Judge McCorkle and the late Dr. Campbell thought it would be unwise to leave some fifty bar rels of liquor in the depot when an army was expected te invade the city within a few days. Thpy assembled there and after some consultation decided to destroy the liquor that was stored away at the depot. Mrs. Judge Mc- Corkle, Mrs. Dr. Campbell, Mrs. Harriet Knox and Miss Eliza Rudisill were among the women who were leaders in this tem perance movement. Children of some of the women who were engaged in this work rendered valuable assistance. The women marched from the house of Dr, Campbell to the depot. Their-appearance showed firmness and resolution. The depot agent seeing that it would be useless to resist the move ments of the women surrender ed to the situation. They rolled the barrels of liquor upon the platform of the depot and knocked holes in the heads, of the barrels with axes which they had carried for that pur pose. The holes and gutters around the depot were soon 111 led with the liquor,. ~ " ' The news soon spread over the town that the women were at the depot destroying Confeder ate liquor. The depot was soon surrounded with the men of the town. The men of Newton as a rule were known for their habits of temperance, and could nat be persuaded to drink any of the liquor that was found around. There were however a few men living in the town who could not resist the temptation to drink when an opportunity offered it self." They stooped down and drank some of Uncle Jeff's liquor as they found it in the holes and gutters around. They soon be came intoxicated. The men of temperance pre sent being pleased with the pro ceedings of the women hollowed "Hurrah for the women." The men present who were intoxicat ed thought they owed the women much praise for the good liquor that was afforded them joined in with the temperance men and also hollowed "Hurrah for the women." The report is that some of the fine hogs of the city came upon the ground and not being molested drank freely of Uncle Jeff's liquor. Then the hogs became drunk. The hogs grunted and the men hol lowed "Hurrah for the women/' If the soldiers of General Stoneman had entered the city when fifty barrels of Confeder ate liquor were stored away in the depot, some of them, doubt less, would have become intoxi cated. Being in a state of in toxication they would, doubtless have burned the city. It it thought that the women of Newton saved the city. J. H. SHUFORD. NO CASE ON RECORD. There is no case on record of a cough or cold resulting in pneumonia or consumption after Eole/s Honey and Tar has been taken. It stops the cough and breaks up the cold quickly. Refuse any but the genuine Foley's Honey and Tar in a yellow package. W» S. Mantifi & Od,
