.vrv Watauga Democrat JRcbcrt C. Rivers, ' Editor ani Proprietor Thursday. Jul v 4. 1001. ; : On Inst Monday the .war tax on checks and money or dors was reiroved. This Ik , omn Jielu ro the monied imn . of the country but Is of little , interest to the masses of the im t'e. What oar iMHple nn 4ntereted in now more than any thing else, at the present tin, ia tain anm WAV nrpr. nne this wave or Mckinley prosperity (?) so that oar lieopfc may be able to sell their sheep and calves at liv ina prices, instead of their tie .fog a draff on the hands of .our farmers and stockmen. Fat lambs in Watauga are n.m silling, the best ones, 4i.t3cts. a pound, against cU. last year, and a prom nent deulcr told us this week -that he hud quit buying old :heep by the pound, and was 4nly .picking thorn up by the head a t a very small price. And it does seem that it some unseen hand of a giant miser had swooped down and taken every dollar of circulating money in sight out of this county, it would be but little Hcarcer. There is douotleas money here, but those who have it hold it The drag in the sheep market, the great scarcity , of -money ana tne proverbial "bull calf" being ashamed to look an honest . dealer in the face, owing to his greatly depreciated value, is enough to convince any man that there is something , wrong that needs righting, for this brand of prosperity does not set well with the la boring classes. - -The -Glomus t ourth is Miere again. Justtwelvo years ngo to-day, the Democrat, under the present manage ment. -made its first aoDear- . anre, and asked for 1 pdblic -patronage. The paper 'bas had au up hill-climb some of the tmet but so far has nev -r in.'t with on unsormounta lite obstacle. It has bpen well abused by members or the op posing political party be jransft rt-tcod for what it 'thought to be right, bat the abuse , has only infused new lifeito its being, and to day it is enjoying the best paying r circulation of any time in its fiistory. Of course, it has met .with iimnv reTcrsen, but the "true, loyal, manhood of this - and adjoining ebon ties have utood to the on per, and it is till on band to uphold the Tight and condemn the wrong ,in men and meaenre,ns best it can. Rally to the paper boys, pay up your nrrears, send in your ads , nnd if yon x are not a subscriber, -send in vour subscription, 'and help the paper to grow and pros- , per as never before. The last session of the Uni venut.r' of North Carolina ' . was the most prosperous in its history and everything points to an increased pros- lerity and usefulness during the coming session. The fac ulty has been greatly streng thened br the addition of eight new teachers, making forty-three in all. There are - two new dormitories; new'rec itation rooms, water works and electric lights. Board lodging, heat and lights ,can "v Im secured at from $10 - to 51250 per month. The next ee.VMin opens September 12. . : Examination ; for entrance Aa Important Road Snreyf Editor Democrat: Rr the aid of A. J Critcher and J F. Salmons, jurors, J hive just surveyed the most beautiful road o rami men ts ever laid oat in Watauga county. -, !r : It extends east from the ford of Pine Run, on the Deep Gup road, to the top of Ihe flue Ridge, near J. II. Mc Neil's. The gap through which the new line runs is about one hundred feet lower than 1 the one where the old road cross es. But the people of that community had been labor ing under the mistaken idea that the cost and distance of abroad through the low gap would be greater than thro' the high one. They had over looked the fact that it takes distance to overcome height The following illustration will probably benefit persons interested in roads, viz: I the overhead of your room is ten teet high and you un dertake to reach it by grad ing around the wall with a rise of one foot in ten, it wil take one hundred feel,- hut if the overhead ' i nine fee high, it will only take ninety feet. Consequently the lower b gap the shorter the road. provided the two roads are on equal grades. . When the new grade is built he worst piece of road now between Boone and Deep Gap will he the best: and it will be the firsts stepping stone to a fine highway from Boone to Wilkesboro. S. M. Dugger. As Mr. Dugger savs the above is a very important one to the people of the conn ty, and from the way the en terprising citizens along the line are talking, we shall look for the road to be construct ed in the near future. Ed. : It is appnlling and horrify ing to read of the recent de struct! ve storms in West Va. Many towns were partially wrecked, and Key Stone, on the Elk Horn, was almost en tirely swept away; there he- ing as -many as sixty lives lost in the raging waters and hundreds of thousands of dol lars worth of property was destroyed, " ' ', President Schurman says the United States has never produced a Horner or a Shake s pea re or a a Dorwin. True, but doesn't be know that it has produced Mary Ellen Lease, A. J. Beveridge, and the woman with the hatchet. What more does the man want? Possibly it is hard to tune up the concert of Europe .so ..... . - .i as to enaoie it to play that a nti American; piece, but it is comparatively easy for. each of them to nhack us at ererv opportunity, and if Secreta ry Gage keeps up his ill ad vised search for trouble this is what is sure to follow.

' -., : .:'-". ."u-' Cabel news from London says that Great Britain in sists on the recognition of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty as a precedent to negotiation on the canal question. Well; We are entirely willing to rec ognize it far enough to pro vide for its repeal. The British have discover ed that they are still able to put up a pretty good fight a- gainst savages such as Mad Mullah and his man. It is on ly when they come up against a lot of farmers that they fall dowu. The Republic of Cuba is rea dy for launching, but the peo pie there will find that it wil take a good deal of grease before the ship of state slides down the ways into the deep water.
