Republican wishes fat her to tho story sen tout from Wash ington several days ago that n movement was on foot to put another gold democratic presidential ticket in the field nextyear. No such movement iH known omong democrats and no such action ip expect, ed to get the support of any considerable nutnVr of dem ocrats, because they all know that it is not being instiga ted by democrats, but by re publicans, whose only object is to draw a way support from the regular democratic tick et. A number of democrats who took part in organizing the Palmer, and Ruckner movement, have since ac knowledged their mistake and their regret, and express ed their intention to stand by the regular nominations hereafter, because the demo eratic party as a whole stands for the most of the things tHey believe in. Although re publican money is likely to be freely used to bring about such a condition, there is ab solutely nothing in sight al this time, toindicatethenom ination of a gold democratic ticket next year. There is much shaking and quaking in tho old Alger clique in the War Depart ment, because, of a rumor, which seems to have founda tion, that Secretary Root, who is now iif Washington, preparatory to being sworn in Hnd taking charge intends to reorganize the War De partment from bottom to top. Certainly no other de pa rtsaent of the government needs a thorough reorganiza tion more than the one over which Mr. Root has been cho sen to preside, but the clique is- powerful and Secretary Root may find himself una ble to overthrow the Alger- ites. If he is wise, he will get General Miles on his side, by restoring him tho authority of which he was fleprived by Alger. Attorney General Grigs, be fore going off on bis summer vacation shattered the hopes of numerous persons who thought Jlhey had everything fixed to secure valuable Por to Rican concessions from the War Department, by render ing opinions upon three spe cific concessions, The right to use the yator power of the tiver Plata, theright to build and operate a tramway, and the right to build and con control, tor all time, piers aud wharves at Ponce. Theje opinions take the g r o u n d that ail eucli concessions were the crown property of Spain, and sums them all, and apparentlyjall other pub lie conwssions on the island, up as follows: 'Ascrownprop erty, they were, by tho trea ty of cession, transferred by Spuin to the United States, and are now a part of t h public domain of that nation. I do not know of any right or power which the Secretary of War or the President has to alienate in perpetuality, any of the public domain o the United States, except in accordance with acts of Con grew, duly passed with referr ence thereto.',.! This in under stood to be a hint to Alger of the power of the adminis tration to make trouble for him and his business friends, who are heavily interested in some Cuban deals, if. he at tempts to antagonize the ad ministration.. Representative Griffith who represents Ihe Indiana dis trict which sent the late Judge Uolman to Congress for so many years, said of politics in his State, and he knows: ''Indiana will Send to the Democratic National Convention a olid Bryan delegation. The men who were far Mr. Bryan and the Chica go platform in 1896, havn't weakened in their faith con cerning either. InmOneof those who believe inthe inde structibilitv of the principles of democracy, and though the party may suffer tempo rary defeat, it is sure to re gain ascendency, for it repre sents better than any other political organization, ;t h e true interests of the people. The predominatis8ueinl900 is very apt to be war upon the trusts and upon this the democrats will be in far bet ter position than their oppo nents. The voters of tho coun try cannot be deluded by anti-trust declarations of the republican convention; they understand that there is no real antagonism between the eading meu of that party and the trusts, but. that on the contrary, the closest inti macy exists, seeingthat most of the influential republicans are thoroughly identified with combines and monopo lies. We had a great chance in 1896, and we came very near success, ana we win have just as good a chance in 1900. I see nothing in the situation that is discourag ing to democrats, but on the contrary, - much that beto kens a winning campaign." One of the conundrums of the hour is why the sending of a cablegram to Gen. Otis, convevine: an expression of Mr. McKinley's confidence in him, and satisfaction with all he has done, including n l 8 press censoring, should have been kept secret for ten days after it was sent? Some say that Mr. McKinley wanted to ascertain how far public sentiment would go in sup porting the demand for the recall of Otis, and that if that demand had been a little st ronger t he ca blegra m w ou Id have been suppressed entire ly. It was evidently kept back for some purpose. Anc' it would have been the first time that official matters have been mada public or suppressed by the ad minis tiation in deference to the to the state of 'public opin ion. The Rev. W. R. Costlev, of Stoekbridge, Ga., while at tending to his pastoral du ties at Ellenwood, that state was attacked by cholera mor bus. He says; "By chance I happened to get hold of a bot tie o Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera'and Diarrhoea Reme dy, and I think it was the meaus of saving my lile. It relieved me at once."

My work is all in Surry Co. I have" only ten appoint ments, aud travel about a hundred and forty miles in making one round on my cir cuit. Multiply that by twelve and you have 1,680 mires I travel in' one year. That looks like a traveling preach erl This is a very pleasant country in which to live. The people are kind and hospita ble, but the weather is just a it tie bit warm at present; he mercury standing any where from 95 to 102 degrees in the shade. Rockford is quitea historic lace. It was the county seat of Surry before Yadkin coun ty was formed. When Yadkin was made the county seat of Surry was moved toDobson, In tho long ago the late Judge Cloud had his office here. Judge Pearson had his aw school here, and from that school has gone out some of the most able men of the State. President Jack son once had an office and practiced law in Rockford. The gallant Captain Crump- ler, of the First North Caro lina Cavalry in the Civil war was born and educated here His remains are now quietly resting in the llorkford ceme tery. His friends and com rades haveerected a beautiful gray (fit emnlem of his uni form) marble shaft that marks his resting place. Dr. Tyre York, of Trap Hill Wilkes county, was born and raised in Rockford. He has a brother and sister still living h?re. I am pleased tosee that the good people of Blowing Rock have asked for a local option election. I truly hope that they may succeed. If I am not mistaken, Watauga has more dry townships than any other county in North Carolina. Let the good work go on until the whole county is dry. Success to all my old friends in Watauga. Seymour Taylor Rockford, August, '99. About one month ago my child, who is about fifteen months old, had an attack o diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such rem edies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a phy sican and was. under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days aud was having a bout twenty-five operatious of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were con vine ed that unless it soon obtain ed relief it would not live Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera nnddiarihoearemedy wasrec ommended. and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by itscontinu ed use a complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy .-C. L. Boggs Stumptown, V. Va. For sale by druggists.

Willard, Clara Barton und Susan A. A'thony. None of them is pictured as young. Mrs. Stowe is there as an old woman, yet Mrs. Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin" when but a little over forty, and did nothing to equal it in after years. Francis Wil- ard was only about sixty when she dbd, but she had begun the labors that brought her reputation when quite a young woman. It seems a fty sometimes hat the moat important me mortals of men and women who have attained to emi nence should be presented to us in portraits destined for posterity as old persons with heir life work done and the records of its struggles not the glow of their youthful promise written on their fa ces. We know Gladstone best after his battles were all won, and the Queen as she sits al most helpless with no trace in her face of the girl who promised no more than she ulfilled, and'who became at once the inspiration of her subjects. Our best known por traits of Lincoln were taken when his power was proved. Suppose we had never known Mrs. Ballington Booth in the days' of her wonderful beau ty, but waited to see her pic tured as an old person with glasses 1 All that the latter years have proved in every one of these cases was in them when young, undevel oped to be sure, but there. It is apt to haveadiccouraging effect upon the young, this disregard of the youthfu promise with the presenta tion only of its attainments in old age and the cultiva tion of this disregard creates almost unconsciously a cer tain skepticism among us Most of us have been taught to associate wisdom w i 1 years, and sincerity ot pur . m pose only with its fulfillment Greensboro Record: G. T Kearlsey has an interesting family relic, a Bible printed in 1698. It is only three and a half inches by six and two inches thick, but contains al the relatives of Mr. Kearlsey including his great-g r e a grandfather who was born in 1718 and died in 1783 on Christmas day. The Bible is in a remarkable state of pres ervation, bound in red leath er and printed on th6 paper used in those days, looking very much like brown wrap ping paper but is tougher and stronger.

Most men who drift into unbelief have no desire to carry others with them, mrticularly their own fami- ies. Mrs. lngersoll and - her daughters are said to agree ully in the opinions of the husband and father, and were a better illustration of he utter desolation of their doctrines than was found in his death sought a thous and years, it could not be bund. To them the shock of death was prostrating, and they for along time re used their consent that the body be taken away, and at ast, when the parting could be postponed no longer and the remains were Dieoared or the funeral pyre, they ex claimed, "Must he be taken so soon? Can he notlreraain with us longer?" Of all the supreme moments in human ives, that one when the part ing takes place, is the one when the belief in the resur rection is the most comfort ing, most blessed. But to those unfortunate ones there was no such comfort. And over the grave of this one, the solemn, grand, blessed words regarding immortali ty, had no place, but in their stead only the words of friends and extracts from the unbeliever's books. For him we have no hard feeling, but commisseration. Keep good company and ye shall be of the number. George Herbert. CASTORIA For Iafmti &nd Children.
