Most now.-tfenntor Hanna ia thai man. He is onee more pro testing that the Ship Sub sidy bill will put no money in his poeket, and that'prnr ies of his being interested in Steamship . lines that will profit by the measure, if it ran be jmnmed through, are wieked calumnies. The Senate is still hammer-, ing nwny at the Arm.i Reor ganization bill, bnt it isproh nblethHtit will ba passed this week. By the nid of n fen repnblienns. the denio erats sueeeeded in getting an amendment adopted makinc volunteer nffieers eligible to appointment to the grade of rnptbin in the regular army, as well as that of lieutenant. Why the Iiopsps or the House have 'allowed the dp bate on the River and Har bor bill, which everybody ex pected to pass several days aero, todrag on until this afternoon, when it closed, is one of thellegislative p.nzzlep of the week. Inasmuch as it was well known from the first that tha bill was to piss. It js quitecertainthat the delay has been for a pur pose, although the purpose is not yet apparent. Hon.' Bird S. Holer, the (Ym pi roller of New York ('ity. spent a day or two in Washington in the interest of Hon. David B. Hill, as the democratic candidate for President in 1904 Oontrnry to custom. Mr. Holer publicly announced that the object of his visit to Washington was to get Senators and Repre sentatives to promise their support to Mr. Hill. He heard many kind"!words for Mr. Hill,' who has many friends in both branches of Coneresrv'bnt few, if any, democrats in Congress care to commit themselves toan.r candidate so far in advance. Senator Bacon said of the dangprous power vested in the President by the Army Reorganization bill, which is still before the Senate: "The passage of this bill will mark an epjich in the United State; Senators may scoff, but it is nevertheless true that the passage of a bill by which the President shall control the size of the army. is a march toward empire. It is a great revolution that wilt he effected when the bill is put upon the statute books. It is the evident pur pose of the bill to eliminate for all time the volunteer sys tem from the military estab lishment of the country, and create for all time a great standing army. The issue is not to be evaded. Shall it be in the future the province oi the President toraisparmies, or shall it be the province ot Congress? I should rather see the party 1 belonged to condemned to universal and never-ending banishment from political power, than to see such an authorization of power placed upon the stat ute books.4' Many of those In voted' fr the Committee bill are clad of the thiow down giv I'll the majority of the House NVnsus Committee, when its lull was knocked out, arid the fturlejeh aubstit u te Ron ppor tionment hill, whirh has since passed the Senate ami is now in .lr. 3cKiuley's hands. wa9 passed by the House by the large majority of 63. While part inn u poli tics were not introducnl dnr ing the (lisv-usKion, the mot f ht the committee bill, wns Kiipported by practically all ofthp republican bosses in the House, made its defeat a black eye for them. Just before, the House pass ed thie usu,al resolution ap propriating $10,000 for the employment of extra police men, etc., for Mr. McKin ley's second inauguration, Repre nentative Bell, of Colo., took oevasion to put himself on record as opposing the ap propriation of one cent of public money to pay forany thing connected with the in auguration show. He point ed out facts, well known to most of his hearers, such as the usual profit made by the local committee having charge of the.jnauguration, from the sale of tickets to etaud erected on government reservations, nnd tickets to i he inaugural ball, held in the United States Pension Build ing. He also called attpn tion very emphatically to the payment of $70,000 in sal aries to employes of tbe Pen- shin ofiice for informed holi days, made necessary by the decoration of the building for the last inaugural ball, anexpense which he pointed out wiM be incurred at the coining inauguration. Mr. Bell expressed the opinion that those who profited, and not the general government, should pay the expenses of Presidential inaugurations. Dr. Robert M. Coltinan, a native of Washington, who has been a Surgeon in the Chinese Customs Service for fifteen yars, is visiting his old home. That he hasn't a high opion of Minister Con ger may be judged from the following remarks made by him: 'Conger is about as capable as any country far mer would have been had. he been placed in that import ant position. If it had not been for Conger and Sir Claude Macdonald, the Brit ish Minister, we would never have had the trouble we did. They listened to the Chinese Foreign Office, instead' of heeding information from their own trustworthy offic ials. Conger does not under stand his business. The gov eminent here made itself the laughing stock of the other powers br, trying to have ne gotiations removed from Pekin, on Conger's recom mendation." Blown io Itomg.

Editor Democrat, It has een io long since I wrote anything for. our pa per that I am almost asham ed of myself for such neglect. As usual, I am very busy. I look after my farm; hare tried to serve four churches the past year, traveling Over 100 milew per month to reach my ' appointments, and am now engaged in school tench ing. I am teaching at High Briten Aendemj, with an av erago of 40 pupils per month so far. Tbe term will he a hout four months. It is one of the most satisfactory schools 1 ever taught. Moat of the pupils an sufficiently advanced to make it interest ing. Then I a:n frequently called away to funerals and marriages, limited three couples in marriage during the Xmus holidays, and I think i hat was my share. So you see that 1 am rather wearingout than rustingout, nnd I think that is bettor. So far the winter has been mild and theroadsgood.and the lumber busiui ss contin ues to be the occupation of the day. The health of the peoplp is good except colds. The Xnias holidays passed off quietly with a few excep tions and people are settling d')wn to business again. The schools, 1 think, are rather better attended than" usual. Most of onr churches are cold or indifferent. We were not blessed with any very great revivals the past year. I hope the present year may lie more fruitful hi revivuls than the past, and to that end preachers and people ought to pray and woik. There cannot be any last ing, material prosperity with out a corresponding spiritu al advancement. Material prosperity with religious de clension produces skepticism. People forget the source from which their blessings come forget even tl'eir dependence on God. Groat temporal pros perit? is to be feared unless there is religious growth al so. Then it will not be long until temporal prosperity will be withheld, if we neglect the spiritual. Amid our pros perity, let us not forget Cod, the church ;jud religion. I read the Democrat with undiminished interest. I am always glad to hear h o w things are going on in Wa tauj;a, and r jolce in the sue cess of Watauga Academy and every other good work in your section. As to my family, we are all in Caldwell pxcept Jamesand Janie. James is packing a ranker in Southern Califor nia, and Janie is taking a course of training at Saint Luke's Hospital, Bethlehem Pa. She hopes to graduate next summer. Success to the Editor and all the readers of the Democrat. 1. W, Thomas. Lenoir, N. C. Don't ue any ot the counter leits ol DeWitts Witch Hazel Snlve.

He had never seen an elec tric light or dreamed of an electric car.'' He could not send a tele gram. H could not talk through the telephone and he had nev er heard of the 'hello' girl. He couldn't ride on a bicy cle. He could not call in a ste nographerand dictate a let ter. He had never received a type written letter. He had never heard of the germ theory or worried over bacilln and bacteria. He nevei looked pleasant before a photographerorhad his picture taken. He never heard a phono graph talk or saw' a kineto scope turn out a prize fight. He never saw through a Webster's Unabridged Dic tionary with ;the aid of a Roentgen ray. He had never taken u ride in an elevator. He had never imagined such a thingasa type-setting machine or a type-writer. He had "never used any thing but a wooden plough. He had never seen his wif using a sewing machine. He had never struck o match on his pants or any thing else. He couldn't take an anes tjietie and have his leg cut off wit hout feeling it. He had never purchased a lea cent magazine which would have been regarded as a miracle of art. He could not buy a paper f ir a cent nnd learn every thing that had happened the day before all over the world. He had never ' sei'n a Mc Cormick reaper or u self-bind ing harvester. He had never crossed an iron bridge. In'short, there were several things he did not know. Mem phis Commercial Appeal AFromincnt Chicago Woman Speaks. Prof. Roxie Tyler, of Chi cago, Vice President Illinois Woman's Alliance, in speak ing of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy sn.vs: "I suffered with a severe cold this winter which threatened to run into pneumonia. I tried different remedies but I seemed to grow woiseand the medicine upset my stomach. A fnend advised tne to try Chamber lain's Cough Remedy and I found it was easy to take and it relieved me at once. 1 am now entirely recovered, saved a doctor's bill time and snffeiiug, and will never be without this medicine agaiu.'

She was a great sufferer for several years of her life, but boro it with great patience and meekness aud seemed to realize that it was the Lord's will and that she desired His will to be done. But in her departure the huroh realized a great stroke and loss, nevertheless w e should be resigned to t h e Master s will for it Is her eter nal gain. And we. like David, of old, should say in our hearts: "TheLor Jgivethand the Lord taketh away. Bless ed be tbe name of the Lord." Oh, when will we meet our sister there, awayjn that happy land so fair, and our loved ones we'll meet on that happy shore where partings shall ne'er be known no more. L. M. Trivett, J.
