The state of Mew Jersey haa been laoked upon and is one of the pivot al stales m the campaign of this yaar. It ia one of the states that AN deaaocracy must cany in order to wis the election. The leaden «f the party here in the national capital have had their eyes 00 that fog IMM lum (Mid have b##n watching developments orcr there. ' TWy revise. a* does every man who has any political knowledge «f fIH situation in that atate, that l» democratic party of the atate of ' New Jmtjr has been singularly unfortunate during the past six yean from the fact that it has had at its hand as executive an assist- ant republican in the person of William B Gourtey, of Peterson, tasifcf wiUatly and deliberately the sentiment of of the f 4amn 1 iat r uatteaat committee at 4 ib city aa jaaraary 1 tth. by de daring himself and his state for Qjrvsfond for President when lie kaear that New Jeraey would have non« of Cleveland or any man or plan ia the least tinctured with Cleveland iSm And to make his ac tion the more abhorrent to the democrats of Kair Jersey. Gouriey Was the only member of the Nation al Committee, who publicly de dared himself for Cleveland's can dacy. Ia an interview published In the Newark News of January isth. Gout ley. not content with betraying the party in his own | stat-, paid his respects in charac teristic style to the great derooc racy of the South, which has al ways been loysl and true to the principles of Jefferson and Jackson In the following terms: "The southern states will go dsmoc stic even if the nstionsl ticket is headed by a mangy yel low d* * The malicious vlllification of his own party in the so .th was due to the fact that be was well aware that that section of the country despises democrats of hi«ilk so thoroughly that if any are permitted to eiist they are never heard of beyond the canfiaes of their own political tomb. He knew also that Mr.Geve'snd is held at his true value by the loyal and valient democracy of the South. Hence his petty slsnder of that section. WBbam B. Gouriey is the man who h«s made the laughing stock, a by-word and s reproach of the Mow Jersey democracy since iByB by turning over the machinery of Aa state to the republicans an* 4 tteir trust msnagera, of whom he ia said to be, and believed to be. ia paid tool This Is the same man who, in ifai, prevented the Democrat c Congresaionel Committee from as sisting Mr. William Hughes, the dems fustic seaHdsle, financially, la eater, la emry his own district, bqt deayiti the fact that Gouriey ml* {hsfcaMa Griggs, of the Demo cratic National Committee, not to • give H aches a cent, and who, 00 Ami account did oot receive a cent, be. nevertheless, was triumphantly elected on his own merits. Gourcy lives ht Peterson, in the same town *n4district as Congre sman Hughes o*4 the semblance of a congres eionsi eomm llee in this district which he eesemee to cont ol hard y raised its hand to assist in the elec- Hon of Mr. Hughe*; bat on the contrary,lk* committee headquart- P* w«* dosed practically during fM entire campaign. Goekjr is the same man who. 4«>a| dm congressional campaign i of 19 at, and while posing as chair ma of the democratic (late cent sal committee refused to permit fhe apse* in a the streetcars of Pater oM,'«lf«ady paid for by a regular ajsmttaar to be used for G-mgrsss sua Hughes' benefit when don at M to Mm by a incad a» * campaign fvoorley baa never done anything good of the party. The JyiHHiJ of Now Jersey uuder •o thoroughly dtmwalisid aa al mott to lose hope. He has no or ganization among the party, and Bach organisation as he inherited from his predecemor has bean de bauched into • men machine to keep real democrats out of office. He is the hired attorney of the cor porations whose chief aiai ii Near Jersey is to control both parties and debauch the electorate. Cow ley's chief claim to time is the shameful tact that, by unscrupulous use of the money of the carpor aliont which employ his services ho has elected sheriff* in Ptoasic county who would assist him in devious ways to protect Us pet corporati as and prevent the courts dealing too seriously with them. Gourly has never been known to predict a victory for his party or any of its candidates since he as sum d control of its machinery He would look upon a democratic victory as a public and a private misfortune. The real democracy of New Jers ey has bome with Geuricy up to the limit, and his attempts to de liver them to the Qevstsnd-Olnev movement, coupled with his in falling reference to tbe South, sounded his political death knell in the Garden State. He will soon receive such a humiliating lesson as fear public men bare been rail ed upon to bear, and he will de serve all he gets. Gourley is a fitting champion of Cleveland for his highest ideal and deepest hope is to destroy the party which h - so falaly claims to lead I prefer to throw bouquet* rather than brick hats ic this correspondence, but if I have to hurl the Utter 1 know how ti hit a buUseye. * * a Several weeks ago I wrota a paragraph in this letter about the Hon Jesse Overstreet of Indiana, and accused him of doing the raay tbirg which Mr. Fourth As»i>tant Postmaster General Bristow had in veighed against iu his report that of members of Congress asking for an increase in some country Post Office and placing some favorite in the office to draw the increase as a salary. I was given this inforipa tion by a man here in who n I bad confidence or I would never have used it Fince it was published I have seen and talked with Mr. Overstreet ahd he assures me on his word of honor that the act at tributed to him is not true, and that he never has made request for an increase for any pot office outside of bis district in all the history cf his legislative life. I have known Mr. Overstreet here for the past seven years and when he tells me that 1 have been misinformed and have accused him wrongfully, and knowing him to be an honorable gentleman the only thing for an honest man to do is to retact the accusat on, to be sorry for tbe spiead of the misinformation and regret that he has done any man an injustice. I am playing poli tics in writing these letters, bet 1 never will impose a lie on the read ers of them if I know it This is the first instance in a year that any man has said to me that I cither misq oted him or aocused him wrongfully. I am sincerely sorry that it has occurred and I hope 'hat every paper which published the statement about Mr Overstreet will do me the favor and him the jus tice to pubti-h this retra lion. • * * _ The late speech of the lion. Wil liam j. Bryan, in the city of Lin cola, Nebraaka. in which he out lined his position on the next demo cratic platform and advocated the ml fication and reaffirmation of the Chicago and Kansas City platfo;ms. thereby making the money issue again the leading i-sue in the cam paign or at least£one o! the leading issues.^has attracted much attent ion here among fhe leaders of the party in Congress. A careful poll of the democrats iu Congresp fails b reveal any con siderable number of them who agree with Mr. Bryan. More than nine tenths of theji are opposed to making the money j*ge prominent in the platform ar evpnj£*i»tioning h at aIL , They say that the money issue 8k (Euterarist WILLIAMSTON, N. C„ FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5.1904. tor the present is a dosed issue. That the mflax of gold to this coun try on account of the new gold strikes in the Klondike and other places, the failure of crops in the o'der countries and the money dumped into escalation on account of the Ist; Spanish-American war has proved conclusively the demo cratic c .ntent oa in those two plat forms:—that there was not enough metallic money in circulation to do the business of the country on, that this increase of the gold has supplied the place of the silver for which they cootended.that the con sequent waa that they contended it would be, via.—prosperity. This lefusal to agree with Mr. Bryan in hi* idea of what the neit platform shou'd be has attracted wide spread attention here to the mcent interview with Hon. William Raodo'ph Hearst published in the Chicago Tribune of January 19. In that interview Mr. Hearst outlined what he believed to be the vital is sues of the nest campai a and he strack a note of sympathy In the minds and hearts of the majority of the democratic leaders when he said: 'The main issue ot the party of the people is to attend to the business before the people " •'ln th s country of sud Jen trust development tie dominating issue —msde So l>y the trusts themselves —is the trust issne." Those two sentences struck the majority of the democratic leaders here on the very essence of good sense, and when they were accom panied by an exhaustive outline of the condit on* that exist and the is sues th*t should grow out of those conditions, the interview, in its en tirety. made a comprehensive demo cratic platfoim of live issues upon which party could go before the people aud win That is the way in which his interview, which iu reality is a nations' platform, struck the majority of the leaders of the party here in the national capital, and 1 have la'k.d to the most of thein person iliy about it. They want a man for the nominee who stands for something defiuite in the shape t f Jeffersonian and jac'.son ian democracy an I who not only is aggressive but progressive. Therefore, they are c mtrasting his wide open aggressive and progres sive democratic poli y wi h the Fabian and hide and sejk politics of some oth rs wh-i hav* been men tioned for fie democratic nomina lion, and he is daily growing in the estimation of many who.a few months ago, were inclined to Vive his candidacy the'* hoarse Thi Hearst movement is a seiious factor in the d mo.ratic presidents' equation and is now so recoguiz -ij here in Washington.

'The story that a man fell 200 feei th« other day and didn't hurt himself is abusing," said the di rector of a gymnasium; "but, cut ting all foolishness out, there was more than a grain of truth in it. What 1 mean is thst a man who knows how to fall can fall a con siderable distance without getting anything more than a bruise or two. . "The trouble ia that the average man doesn't know anything about falling easily. Now, one of the first things that a gymnast or one who performs anywhere above the ground must learn is just how to avoid seri ous injury in falls. "Nearly every. gymnast tumbles sooner or later; but, if you will think it over, the number of profes sional and amateur jierformcrs hurt in a year is comparatively smnll. The reason for that is that they hate learned not only how to avoid falling, but how to protect them selves when the fall docs come. "Just as an example, I had a fall from a height of about twenty feet the other day, and 1 got right up from the floor practically unhurt, although I confess that it shook me up a good deal more than 1 liked. In falling, however, 1 re laxed my muscles and, aa the ath letes say, 'folded' my head into my chest. 1 struck on the uppermost part of my liack, just below the neck. When anybody is falling, that is the part of the body on which to 'all. "I am not a jn.rtwuhirly heavy man, b.:t 1 iint-fairly well protected by my muscles. Those on tlio hack >f my nek were a sufficient cushion. With I lint to help me the fall was not so terrifying. "Now, the reason why the ordi nary man is so easily hurt in a fall is that he thinks he must 'steel' him self to the ordeal, as it were. He comes down, sprawling out, with his artns and lej;s rigid. Nino times out of ten he either breaks a limb or severely sprains a muscle. That is the wrong wuv to fall. "If you want to see the right way take a few let sons from |jour eat. If she is a pood, healthy cat, with a good training, she never jumps or falls a* if she was trying to break ' ,C3?- / "Let mesum all of this up by say ing that, to be a really good athlete, one must know how to relax his muscles as well as distend them. Try a full and see if I'm not right." —Chicago Inter Ocean. Value of English Votes. According to an Knglish election agent's statement, there are some men occupying positions of very lit tle consequence whose votes arc nev ertheless of enormous value to any political party. 111 the big manu facturing towns there are always some local characters Who go in very hotly for the pursuit of poli tics and have considerable influence over the political opinions of their friends. The votes of such men are worth working hard for, because their support means the votes of quite a large following. In one town in the north of England there is a bricklayer whose support is stat ed to be worth at least a hundred votes to his party.—London Tatler. On* Sontonc*. The quickness and felicity of Hon.

Presently the colonel stamped his booted foot and swore beneath Ills breath.

Then tho colonel retired with in the grove of treea to reappear short ly with two of tils wen. They cau tiously embarked In a small Untlioat which had boon concealed by a clump of underKmwth. The obliging moon bad retreated behind a cloud bank. • •••••• In tbe parlor o{ the Tnyloe mansion the lights were low—even candles were dear Jn the south toward the close of the war—but their dim ray* could not conceal the beauly of two girls who lat lovingly upon n sofa, each wltb nn arm about the other. Though they were sisters, one was dark and mis chievous—the younger, Alice Tnyloe— while the other was tall and fair and serious. Both were very good for a soldier man to look upon. To them came a Bong from the flight Without. I'lek Abiyna, captain of the Nineteenth Ohio, and Lieutenant Hen ry were of a mind that no time more than tbe present wns auspicious for the wooing of a maid or twq. The guitar buzzed resonantly under the deft lingers of tho captain and their FfiPlinlngled voices warbled a melting serenade. Simultaneously the four eyes of them were steadfastly observ ant of the vine twined parlor case ment. They were expectant of an In- Vltutlou to enter, Tills was not their first duet beneath tbe window. In deed, It Is to be suspected that Miss Alice was In no way averse to the con quest of the north bloodlessly and by units. Tbrec gray shadows stole up behind the two.
