When that paprr started
with a flourish of trumpets
an the voi e of the long drea
med t f and nerer to be real
ized "respectable Republican
party in North Carolina," it
announced that devotion to
"The Organization" was the
mud sill foundation upon
which that respectable Re
publican party was to be
built. Faith in "Th Orguni
Zutiou" was the first and
last commandment. Judge
Bynm, of Greensboro, fail
ed to keep that command
meut by making the follow
ing statement:
"The rank and file of the
Republican party in this
State constitute a band of
Spartan heroes noble men
who have pronounced polite
cal principlesnnd convictions
in which thy believe and on
which,! hey a(,t for iheir own
and their country's good.
But some of those who would
lead thein are little more
than political cntthroatsand
pirntes. It was said of George
Washington that he was
first in war, first in peace
and first in the hearts of his
countrymen. It may, with
quill truth, be said of these
men that they are always at
war, never at peace and for
ever in the pockets of their
cotintryn.in."
That was political bias-

"Judge Bynuin is of course
entitled to hold any send
ments lie pleases anil to ex
press thme sentiments. But
in the light of recent events
we cannot consider him a
good Republican.'
"Judge Uynum may gar
vive this summary expulsion
from the ranks of "good Re
publicans." But can the Re
publican party stand expell

For more than twenty years Mr.

sciatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time
is beyond comprehension. Nothing
gave him any permanent relief un
til he used Chamberlain's Pain
Bahn. One application of that l:ni

sleep and rest possible, and lets

I.lro on tha Porch.
Now that summer is near,
the'eugestion is made by
Good Health that everybody
ought to live on the porch
rend, sew. en, lounge nnd
nap there. The parlor ought
to be deserted in summer for
the open air, nnd the dining
room likewise. With ham
mocks and easy chairs a de
lightful existence there is
practicable, and a stay there
is much more health giving
than in the contaminated
air of th. bed room. Many
persons nowadays spend
the night on the porch in the
sumiutr, and not a few find
the air there better in winter
also. There n re porches nnd
porches. A bare, bleak porch
exposed to the sun has its
drawbacks, but it can be
made attractive by planting
around it the spring quick
growing vines. Clematis, iyj
woodbine, trumpet flower
and honeysuckle ran be plan
ted later lor perennial shade.
Plie morning glory is a rap
id grower and will give in a
lew weeks the desired priva
cy and simile, me scarlet
creeping bean is said to grow
six and three quarter inches
in one night. Oip of its iner
its is that it attracts hum
ming birds all the summer
long. Porch furniture is now
made in many styles, inclu-.
ding the indispensable table
for books, magazines, etc.
Hanging baskets for flowers
and ferns have a decorntiyed
effect. Everything is to be
added that will charm t h e
household from the house In
to the open air.
It isn't everyone's happy
lot to have a porch In Ilut
cate Good Health suggests
that trial be madeof theroof
of the house. Roof gardens
are delightful and need not
be unduly expensive. Aslant
ing roof can be covered with
11 horizontal platform, nnd
with swings, screenes, flow
er boxes, etc., u habitable
place can be deviled. The on
ly necessary thing is to have
an invincible purpose to get
out into the open air and see
the stars. Ourcontempornry
is a bit enthusiastic, but it

The VYinston-Sulem Jour
nal has the following to eay
with regard to a certain class
of persons who are opposed
to good roads:
"Opponents of the goo d
roads movement met at
Wentworth last week and it
is learned organized to fight
t he proposed bond issue of
$300,000 for macadamizing
the roads of that county.
The attendance was small
hut doubtless would ha ye
been much larger had the
roads been iu such condition
that the destination could
have been reached.
"The above is a telegram
sent out fiom Rtidsville.
There is not, but thereshould
be, room a t Morgan'on In
sane Asylum for the above
fighting force. No other place
would suit such cranks half
as well."
That is putting it pretty
hard, but there is something
evidently wrong with a per
son or persons who will come
ont boldly against su-h ne
cecessities in this day and
time. But then we are not
surprised, for there is always
a class of people who oppose
almost every good move
ment, especially if it implies
the least expense, albeit they
are the ones who are ever
readr to use such blessings
when they are obtained with
perfect heart ease.
There is scarcely any good
but what costs, and the soon
er all of our people learn
this the sooner will they be
willing to help a good cause
that is for their benefit ns
well as the benefit of the pub
lie in general. And there is no
more pressing need now than
that of good roads. Char

It is Dangerous to Neglect a Cold
How, often do we hear it remurK
ed; "It'g only a cold," and a few
days later learn that the man is on
his back wih pnenmonia. This is of
such common occurrence that i cold
however slight, should not be c'isio
garded. Chamberlain's (bugh Rem

cold to result in pneumonia, and has
gained its gi eat popularity and ex

this most common ailmsnt. It al
