A GREAT DAY
Tuesday of this week was a
great day in Washington, the
ser voices, and program carried
out there meant a great day all
over this broad country. It
meant the inauguration of a
Democratic president, after long
years of Republican rule. It
meant the domination of the
Democratic party in the affairs
of the national government.
The Democratic party went
into power 20 years ago under
Mr. Clevelands administration,
as now it controlled both
branches of the Natioilal
Congress, but a thirst for pie,
and treachery in the ranks soon
bred a discontent that made Mr.
Clevelands administration un
popular, and that unpopularity
continued to grow until it split
the party into attoms, and thus
the party has blundered along
in darkness and defeat to the
present day. The party went
to victory 20 years ago by
following the creed, and council
of Mr. Cleveland, it could have
maintained its prestige by
continuing to preach, practice,
and pifosicute in the interest of
his announced principals. It
went to defeat because of
treachery in the ranks.
The Democratic party goes in
to power now under most aus
picious conditions. It is backed
by the strongest forces the world
can produce, that is the moral
support, and faith of the
American people, and this it has
to an unlimited degree, both
from Democrats and Republicans.
The rank and file of the Republi
can party w e believe wish the
present administration well, and
God speed to the glory, and
greatness of the American
Republic. 'The Democratic party
went into power because of the
broken pledges of the last
administration, and the promises
to do what Dalzel, Cannon and
Aldrich determined should not
be done under a Republican
administration.
If the Democratic party keeps
faith with the people, and
conducts this government upon
progressive and economic lines
it can reasonaly hope for an
indefinite use of power, if it
violates its faith, and permits
some fire brand of discontent and
disorder to flame up, then it
may expect and early change.

A BIG SUM.
Winston claims to have sold
more than twenty two millions
pounds of tobacco, at more than
three million dollars. This means
a distribution of a very large
sum of money among the farmers
of that' and adjoing sections of
the tobacco growing belt. This
year the prices for tobacco have
ruled comparatively high. The

She has already outstriped towns

There are no geographical or
other reasons why Mebane should
not grow to be a very important

uses her local press liberally, it
must come, it is the experience
of all places similary situated.
It is the broad way of looking
at it.

And are sweeter than Itily’s wines;
They know where the fruit hangs tl>e

On the long, thorny blackberry vine?.
They gather the delicate seaweeds
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick up the beautiful seashells—
Fairy barks that have drifted to

They wave from the tall, rocking tree

Where the oriole's hammock nest

And at night time are folded in slunr.-

Those who toil bravely are strongest,
The humble and poor become great;
And so from these >'rown-hand chil

The noble and wise of the land —
The sword and the chisel and paletto
Shall be held ir. the little brown

Hon. Yates Webb member of
Congress from the ninth distric,
whose home is at Shelby, Cleve
land County has performed an
£Ct in Congress that will ad
much to the lastre of his already
illustrious name. His bill prohi
biting the shipment of malt, or
spiritious liquor into dry States \
was passed over the Presidents
veto in the Senate last Friday,
and passed over the Presidents
veto in the House on Saturday.
It became a law in defiance of
the Presidents disaproval. It
was passed upon its merits and
because Mr. Webb gave to it
the pressure of an honest and
tapeable influence.
It has been a long time since
a bill has been passed so
unanimously over a Presidents
veto. Mr. Webbs bill will do
more to make prohibition
effectual than any law since the
adoption of that measure, and
will do a thousand times more to
kill blind tigers than all the high
but if they were not there, and
those that they are protecting
were sharing their proportionate
part of the burdens of the
States taxation there would be
less reason for skining others.
Minors and Pistols.
(From The Monroe Journrl.)
It is against the law to sell weapons
or ammunition to minors. Chief Justice
Flow points out the section in the code
which says: “If anyone shall knowingly
sell or offer for sale, give or in any
way dispose of to a minor, any pistol
or pistol cartridge, brass knucks,
Bowie Knife, dirk, loaded cane, or
sling shot^ tkhail be guilty of a misde
meanor." The only fault we have with
that law is that it ought to include
everybody instead of only minors.
