Address ail communication to THE EOANOKE BEACON, Plymouth. N. C The contest for Speaker, of the House was between Hon. II. G. Connor. Locke Craisr and Hon. Lee r - cj S. Overman, resulting in the elec tion of Hon. H. G. Connor. C. C Daniels, Esq., was elected Chiel Clerk of the Senate, and Mr. Bre. vard Nixon was elected Chief Clerk of the House. All the selections of officers were well made. Thosk who have been declaring that the popularity of William Jen nings Bryan was on the decrease, may think otherwise after the vote is cast for President in 1900. That h is next to the greatest living American is shown by the vote taken for "The Greatest Living American,' by the Columbus, Ohio, Press-Post. Seventy thousand votes were cast, and the votes for the first seven men were as follows : Admiral Dewey, 9,500 W. J. Bryan, 7,8G6 President McKinley, 7,758 Admiral Schley, 5,580 Lieutenant Hobson, 4,674 Thomas A. Edison, 3,592 General Fitzhugh Lee, 3,424 . Saturday night at 12 o'clock the bells that had been tolling for some minutes for the old year, then rang " In the new year. 1898 passed into history, and 1899 was born. 1898 with all its joys and all its sorrows, has gone ; the opportunities that it offered to the nations of the earth, have gone with the old year ; what these opportunities have been to each individual the world may not know, but that we all have failed to appropriate to ourselves tho bles sings of the past year, is quite true. But let us not grieve for the past; let us forget the disappointments, sorrows and mistakes of the past, and remember only that which was pleasant or profitable. As we enter the new year let us resolve to make a greater effort to gain success, peace and happiness ; let ns determine to make the yeav 1899 the most important year in the history of our lives. On Wednesday morning there as sembled in the Legislative halls of North Carolina a body of men, the like of which is very seldom seen in the" Legislative halls of any State. These men represent the brain and intelligence of North Carolina, from the mountains to the sea. And well it ia so, for they are confronted by a roost complicated condition of affairs. The meeting of that Legislature means much to this State. It is composed of meu who are not in politics for honor or personal gain, but to represent the honest citizens of the commonwealth. We believe their purpose is to do the will of the people, and what they can for the good of their State. This Legislature has before it much important work to do, and some bad work to undo. That they may make mistakes is not to be de nied. It will be Impossible for them to please all the people, but there will be little differences anions: them, and the people will be satis fied. As publishers of a Democratic paper it became our duty, as well as rnr pleasure, to do a lot of talking fur the cause of Democracy during the last campaign. While doing so Tve were aware of the fact thatf from a financial point, we were injuring our business. But our object was to do our duty as we saw it, regardless of consequences. Of course we ex pected to lose a large amount of patronage given us by our opponents, but we expected to gain support from the ran! " of the party for which we were workiug, but we find that some of the old Democrats are even turning against us. Even some of the candidates whom we supported with all our might, not only refuse to take the paper, but refuse to pay for the time they have been, taking it over a year. This is discouraging to a paper that has always stood up for the cause of Democracy. Every Democrat in the county ought to take the paper, aud surely those who have been ta king it ought not to refuse to pay for it. Now, we aro not dependent upon the party for a living, yet the paper to a great extent, is, and while we have no complaint to make against the party, still we have cause to de nounce some of the individuals, and when the occasion again presents itself, we propose to show the Dem ocratic party that it has in its ranks some as grand rascals as any other party. We are no less Democrats than we have always been, and will remain true to Democratic princi ples, but we propose to show to the people that there are some Demo crats without principle. The Wilmington Star says : 'Among the speakers at the Lau rinburg banquet was Hon, John D Bellamy, who, in responding to the toast, 'How We Won the Victory, thus summed it up in brief: '1. By the splendid efforts of the press. '2. By the magnificent manage inent of our party organization. '3. By the stubborn determination of the individual voter to win, and '4. By the actual efforts of the candidates. 'As the campaign of 189G was lost by dissension and distraction, the campaign of 189S was won by union and harmony.'" "This completely covers the ground and every word of it is true. In no campaign within our recollec tion did the Democratic press of the State render more loyal, zealous or tireless service, and never within our experience was the party so thor- opghly organized, or intelligently led. "But it was not so much this as i was 'the stubborn determination of the individual voter to win,' a deter mination that was never as marked or even approached in any preceding campaign. The candidates worked hard and unceasingly from the be ginning to the close of the campaign and if they all did their work as thoroughly as Mr. Bellamy did his there was no nook or corner of the State where the peoplo did not hear the issues discussed. In addition to this they were aided by a strong corps of able, eloquent and effective speakers, who voluntarily put them selves at the command of the State committee and cheerfully went where requested to go. And every where they found the people respon What Shall : : Be Done t FOR THE DELICATE GIRL You have tried" Iron and &. other tonics. But she keeps f pale and thin. Her sallow complexion worries you.

La Grippe Successfully Treated. "I have just recovered from the seoon attack of la grippe this year," says Mr. Jas, A. Jones, publisher ot the Leader. Mexia Texas. "In the latter case I used Chamber Iain's Cough Kcroedy, and I think wit considerable success, only being in bed little over two days against ten dys for the former attack. The second attack 1 am satisfied would haye been equally as bad as the first but for the use ot this remedy as I had to go to bed in about six hours alter being 'struck' with it, while in the first case I was able to attend to business about two days before getting 'down For bale by all druggists. 4 Don't neglect to sympathize with the underdog in the fight but be sure to bet your money on the top one.
