VttinjiOamiorat. Rcbert C. Rivers, s ' Editor and Proiiuetor. Thursday. Pt.'42, 1 901. The onlv cloud on the re pnhlican sky tu Congress is . tho reermimpmlntmn nl Vfp Roosevelt in regard l reci nfitv with Culm;. The Presi dent has paid that from mor nl reasons and national inter est we are bourn4 to grant 1 material con-essions to Cu ha. The sugar trust Iihs promised to add the gentle weight of its persuasive in flu enee to the inurement, al ways provided that there is io reduction on te8ned su gar, whMi, of course means that the Cuban raw sugar ran be bought cheaper by the trust, but the consumer will have to pay juntas much lor the refined article. Sma tor Lodge will lead the Ugh! in the Senate. The President's advice on Ihe tariff question quite hc vrds with the views of the high protectionists of his par xy, ana wnen tnose congress men who haveadyoeated tar iff revision have ventilated their opinions to an extent which they believe will satis fy It heir constituents, a n d erhaps gain for them some concessions in the way of pat ronage or local appropria tions, Jthey will graciously consent to bave their bills buried in committee and will moit forget that they ever contemplated the herecy of tariff revision, at least nntil they have to asktheirfrien Is M home to re-elect them. Washington letter, me residents message, says a Washington writer, was received with almost un qualified approval by the re publicans, andthedemocrats while they could detect theer roneous deductions, which are the inevitable concomi tant of the acceptance of the protection fallacy, in every line that dealt with econom ic subjects; could not but ad mire the frank, direct expres pionofthe individual views f the author. Apart from the specific economic recommen dations and reasonings the tnessuge is an admirable pu mper, The Wilkesboro Chronicle ays: Rev. E P. Greenp, the gentleman that comes to this rfrcuit, has been an Episco pal. minister for some years and joined the conference at the recent session. He is a bont 45 years old has a wife and six children. He comes highly recommended. Mr. Greene will be well re membered by many of our people, as he once had charge of the Episcopal work in Wa tnuga. Mr. Fred L. Merritt, who served for a'number of years on the staff of the Raleigh News"and and Observer, tins beeji elected editor of the dai ly Asheville Citizen, and will enter upon his dutips Janua ry the 1st. He is easily one of tbe'best writers in the State, and we may expect a ringing democratic sheet from this scholarly gentleman. - "Eve invented temptation, but men have monopolized It ever lncj."

Subtracting $997.55 from $6 419.71, we have $5,432. 16 as a net fund, which divi ded among the pupils in the county gives them $1.03 per capita and a balance of $83. 37. The Board takes these re ports from the Cleck of t h e Court and the Register of Deeds, and. of eonrse, they cm not make any more mon ey ihan the records how. If the property in the county were listed at even two thirds of its value, there would be no tiouble to have a four months school. , x Eighteen cents tin $100 00 goes to the school fund. 70 cents pays the tax on $100. In Johnson Co.TVnn. it takes $1.52 to pay the tax on one hundred dollars. We have $1.03 per capita; Johnson nas $1.71 per capita. The average length of ourschools is 3 months; the length of schools in Johnson coun ty is from 4 mouths in the weak townships to 8 months in the strong ones, we have 70 white schools, Johnson has 40. If we had fewer schools and the propetty were listed a lit tie nmher our schools would strengthened and prolong ed. B. B. DoTJGHEUTY. "A man has a right to ex press his opinion ot the wea ther, but what's the use." Kick a dog and he bites you. He bites you and you kick him. The more you kick the more he bites and the more he bites the more you kick. Each makes the other worse. A thin body makes thin blood. Thin, blood makes a thin body. Each makes the other worse. If there is going to be a change the help must come from outside. Scott's Emulsion is the right help. It breaks up such a combination. First it sets the stomach right. Then it en riches the blood. Thai strengthens the body and it begins to grow new flesh. A strong body makes rich Wood and rich bIccd makes r. strong body. Each makes the other better. This iithcTvay Scott's Emulsion puts the thir hody.on its feet. Now it can get along by itself. No need of medicine. TJili picture rcprsjbiif he Ttade Ma.k of J-aiiC.

Editor Democrat: , - If you will giyer me a small ipace in your paper I wiHtry to give your readers a few dots from this part of t h e country, as Iain stoping here for a few days..; r On taking a horseback ride across theountry of forty miles I found one of the N. C. boys with" 0 herd of sheep numbering three thousand. They were the finest sheep' I have ever seen. This is a fine stock coun try, though I cant say that! would like to live here, for it is true that there is no place like home, and home is in N. C, so the boys say, and I be lieveit. - Well, I am going to spend Christmas at home anyway. Alt hough the people here are sure to observe a holiday, hut they generally forget when Sunday comes, and spend it in hunting, etc. Not long since it was my misfortune to meet with a large bear, of the cinnamon variety. 1 was not hunting him, neither was it Sunday, and having no gun I decided to try what viiiue there was in stones. Using them pretty freely for awhile I persuaded him to go the other way It is very amusing to seean old one and two or three cutis run off. If a cub does not run fast enough the old one will box it heels over head for ten feet. Jt will get up with a yelp and move faster. While in Montana 1, saw several bear, deer, elk, and wolves? plenty of them. I am of the opinion that if Uncle Harrison AMi-idge was hie, he would forget his agn and try his hand at buck hunt ing. if'ell, thanksgiving h n h passed, and the largest dress ed turkey I saw weighed 47$ pounds. Ifiirtyofyou have more eggs than you n;ed for Christmas, just biing thpm out here. They are worth 35 cents per dcsMi and will be bettei by Christmas. But be sure and don't send ull you have, for I'll be therefor sure and can tell you more of the. west than I can write. So, wishing all of your ren ders, with you Mr, Editor, a merry Christmas and a hap py new year, I uui yours tru ly, R. T. Brkkell. " Indigestion, dysprpiria and billonsnen quick ly yield to the cleansing and pnrifyinv qualities contained In Johnston's SarsapariUa. Cuart Bottles." Swallowed i Cabbaye Hrake. On Thanksgivingday, says the Inoir News, Mrs. E. Wat son, who lives a few miles east of Lpnoir. was prepar ing cabbage for dinner and found in the heart of one a genuine cabbage snake, flis snakeship was six to e i g li t inches long, white and about the size ir eight or tin spool thread. He was very much a live and when Mrs. Watson held him in her hand he squirmed and tied himselt in knots. Mrs. Watson put I hp 'sarpent" in a cup of water until he could get a suitable bottle bottle to preserve' it in. While she was getting the bottle ready and had her back turned her little twbnnd one half yeqr old boy took t he cn p a nd d ra n k t he wa t er, snake and all. Mr. and Mrs. Watson were much afarmed at first, but nt this writing Tuesday the. child is well and hearty. So much for the cabbagp sn.ike beinir poison.
