Watauga Democrat; Robert. C. Rivers, Editor and Proprietor rHWWiAY,Jftn22, 1003. The contest for the United States Senutorship in North Carolina grows more interes tirigas the.tln.v8 Ro'by. Gen. CartboB-withdrawn from the contest, and it seems that in his withdrawn! the Hon. C. B. Watson istheRniner. Wat so.p verm an, Craig and Al exander remain in the field, and J he friends of each seem abpQlutely unswerving i n their: loyalty. At the eausus on. last Saturday night the votelstood as follows: Overman 55. H arson.... , 4AJ. fniig..; 28. Alexander 5. This is the'latest we can get before going to press, as the caucus of Saturday adjourn ed to'meet again on Tuesday evening of this wek, and we have had no later news. It seems that a dead lock is in evitable. We think that the saddest androost unnatural crimes ever committed in the an nals of Watauga or any oth county, are the two boys who are charged with the murder of their fathers within our rounty during the past year. Minder, in ?old blood, is so fearful among fellowmortals but how one can get himself wrought up to the state of mind to kill his own fattier is beyond human comprehen son. There must be some thing diaboliral, unnatural and hell bom in the make up ol such an one. Boon Pot ter, the first father-slayer, was acquitted of the crime, bait is now a fugitive from justice for the killing of vonng Howell, while Roby Warren, the boy imprisoned here for the-rirae of paten ide, has a dark futnre before him. We are told that th? evidence a gainst him is most damag ing, and that his chimes to .excape; capital punishment, ure. most meager. The Emergency liquor bill intsoduced in the Legislature of Norih Carolina by Repre-. sentative Michael, of Watau ga, to remove the liquor truf .Ac from Shawneehaw town ship, this county, passed the Lower House by a vote of 92 to 5. The bill we presume has passed the Senate re r e this, and alter its ratifica tion the saloon must go and go at once, So far so good, and we trust that this great tidal wave against intemper ance that is now sweeping o ver North Carolina may in crease in volume and inagni tude uuiil the last door of the last saloon within our bordfrs may becloud, for ever. . The famous Wilcox Cropsy trial is again nearing its 'loe at Hertford, N C. The evidence is all in. the at torneys have finished their pleadings and Judge Coun cill gave the case to the jury on Tuesday. There is m u c h speculation as to the result, but, it is generally believed that a miss trial will be the terminus. There seems to be luyJouot in the public mind ns to theguilt of Wilcox, but if seems that the State has Idile-J to prove it. Six Qua kern and one negro are on tliejory -"' U ',; : jtadc! Dyspepsia Curo . . C!get9 what ypu eat. Lieut. L.C. Richardson our enngn who went out on the Aberenda, and ' practically lived on a ship for three years, was in Raleigh a few dys ago. Remarkably hand some and tine looking. A 3a moan prim-ess fll in love with him and offered to mar ry aim and he got out of it, by telling her that he was working under thu orders of the great white chief, the Presides t of t he Un 1 1 ed Sta tes and he could not. inairy her without his consent, and be- sides, if he were to marry her and bring her here, she would freeze to death. The message of Gov. Chas. B. Apeok to the Legislature of Noith Carolina is said by the press at large to he the strongest paper eyer offered to a legislative body in the State. It is full in every re spect, d.'nling in a mas'.1! ly way with all the living issues pertaining to utate aff iirs. It would tie well if every per son in North Carolina could nee and read this great mes sage by Carolina's greatest Governor. Petitions are no being circulated nakimr thn Legislu ture of Xorrh Carolina for an appropriation for theerer tion of Reformatory lor the youthful criminals of o u r State. Thi- is. in our humble opinion, one of our most cry ing needs, and it is h o p e d that the nppenls of the peo ple from the mountains to the sea may beheeiled by our law-makers, and that impris onment ol children with liar tinned criminals may never a irain be known in the Old North State. January, 1903. has cer tainly showed itself in true colors this time. Rain, snow, mnd and cold haw followed in h.T train. But as nsa little baby girl says each day: "One snow !ess for this win ter and summer will soon be nere. The tire at Montrent on last Saturday is much ro be deplored. The Orphanage ivns entirely destroyed. Thechil drenescMped unhurt. The loss was considerable. Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young ; when old, sometimes im possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork good too, but it is very hard 0 digest The time to treat consump '. jn is when you begin trying 1 hide it from yourself. .HWs sec it, you won't.

Ill different parts "of the State there are on foot in fluences to eore local leg inlation regulatng, restrain ing or prohibiting the uale of liquor. Some wish prohib ition some wish dispensaries, some wish to put the burden of obtaining license upon the applicant. We speak now solely of local legislation that is baing asked for by different counties. It is to be hoped thst, ex cept in a cane of the highest emergency like the Watauga matter, the General Asseiii. bly will postpone the consul eratiou of all antiliquor or pro liquor legislation until the pending general acts are considered and disposed of For several years much time of the Legislature has been taken up in theconsideratioii of local prohibition legislat ion, before the elimination of the neirro vote this was necessary, but now that the white people areevery where in control, such legislation ought not to tako up the time of thegeneral Assembly. A general law that will meet the approval of a majority of the members with reference to liquor legislation ought to be adopted. It ought to apply to vvery count alike, be uniform in its provisions, and leave to trie people of every town and city the question whether they will sell liquor at all, and if so to whom and how. But the law ought to apply to the whole State alike. At any rate local legislation ought to be posponed until general leg islation is ena-ted. A Good Sn&estion. Lenoir .News. We note that the State Treasury is in debt to the tune of somethingoverf 300, 000 and that a bond issue is spoken of as the best means of "tilling up the hole." Now a reasonable dog tax, such as is suggested oy a South Carolina eontempora ry. say of $1.00 per head on a I . . t every nog iu the btatetnat is worth keeping, would go a long way towards raiding this indebtenness, and at the . ft m 1 same time would no away with a great many sheep de stroyers. Any dog that is not worth a dollar tttx on bis nead is not worth keeping, and the law should provide for a collar amPtagtobeluinished every tax pa id dog and re quire the sheriff and his de puties to take up and sell or kill all (legs that are not tax paid. We are under the impres sion that there is already some kind of a dog tax law ia this State, there eertainlj is in some towns, but the matter should be a State la,. 7 . and when a State tax is paid on a dog then he should lie exempt from county or muni cipal tax. There is no just reason wby a man should pay taxes on hia sheep, hogs, horses and cattle and not pay any on his dog. We ure not cranky and against dogs, we like them and are willing to pay the ax on every one we keep. We respectfully suggest this plan to the Legislature in their debt dilemma. jJl CANDY CATHARTIC c.nIUn,ptdC.CCN.vW.o.dT;ALBEKTR.SIJATTU;K, ' ' Bcwvc of the du!er who Mm to kII I Trustee.

Pains in the Back Are symptoms of a weak, torpid or stagnant condition of the kidneys or liver, and are a warning it is extremely hazardous to neglect, so- important is a healthy notion of th:o organs. They are couuuouly attended by Jots of energy, lack of courage, and sonw times by gloomy foreboding and de spondency.

Editor ooiixales was shot through the body by Lieut. Gov. J.H.Tillmar, The wound is thought to be fatal. The tragedy is only the ending of a little feud of long standing and grew out of their 'differences in politics. Tillman was placed in j lil, ami the feeling agrinst him is latter and strong. The woun tied man was taken to t h e hospital for treatment. The bullet passed entirely thro' the body and it is thought impossible for him to Jive. The man who tries to do buisness without advertining is like the man who rides backwards -he never srfes a thing until it has gone by him. NOTICE OF SALE, Whereas. Jane Miller and Ed mund li.
