News and Observer: In some counties 6 a n flidntes lor the. Legislature nave stated their views upon leading ixsues in their formal announcements. In other counties, in response to pntilii demand, they have pl?ded themselves to specific, re forms. n other counties the conventions have passed tveolutiot f which commit the candidates, In other counties still men have been nominn ted who have made no state ment of where they stand.

The best way-rt he only right way Is for a candidate to Hpeak out plainly and le t the folks know where they stand, A correspondent of rayetteville Observer has addressed-an inversity to the six candidates for the House of Cumberland and asked them before tho prima ries are held, to answer the following nine questions: 1. If elected, will you vote to reduce railroad pasenger fares, first class to not ex ceed two and a half cents per mile? 2. nril yon vote to reduce freight rates? 3. Will you vote for such legislation as will require the railroads to bear a more equitable proportion of the hnrden of taxation thau they do at present? 4, Will you vote to increase the powers of the Corpora tions Commission and to lot he It with authority to nforce their orders under heavy penalties "'5. Will you vote to retain all the present penalties against railroads for violati on of doty, and for such other penalties as may be proposed for the purpose of compelling them to carry out prescribed regulations? 6. B ill you vote for legisla tion affordingshippers better remedies than now exist for collecting claims against rail roads for loss, damage and delay to freights and for over charges? 7, JWill you vote for reform legislation regulating fiie and life insurance, whether such legislation has the ap proval (f the Insurance Com missioner or not? 8. Will yon vote to follow the lead of the other States legislating against the insur ance trust, commonly known as the Southern Tariff As sociation? '9. In insurance matters generally, will you pledge yourself to vote upon all questions that come op, in the iDterest of the policy holders instead of the intrest of the stockholders?' Theso questions embrace most of the leading matters that will command the chief internsffn the proceedings of the Legislature,rand it is not only "proper for the voters to know the views of those who riapiiff to reprint. them but 'better for the ;as, i.ant that fWATAUGA.

Winston Sentinel, 'Make Hay While the Sun Shines' There is a lesson in the woik of the thrifty fanner.

Bobbins, one of the best and wisest men in Davidson county, published a strong letUr in Inst week's Davidson Dispatch deploring the perncious practice of vote buying and selling, which we reget to say, has for years prevailed to an alarming extent in this coun ty and which appears to be growing all the time. We must make a vuotationfrom the excellent letter, which onght to be read by voter in th3 State: ' Candidate and truthful men will, however, admit that, while the excuses for this practice no longer exist, the evil itself grows and grows, and continues to glow until it threutensto make elections a mockery and u farce, but tts vicious influence is attacking the moral fiber of the community insidiously creeping into the jury box . and fast reducing ous society to a condition when it wil'.havetoapologize for its own existence These be strong words hutjtbey are none too strong, but .it is a good time now at the begin ning of the campaign to wage a warm warfare against this prostitution of the sacred right ot suffrage. We are bnilding ' good schools in Davidson, but bow are we -to teach our boys to love the right and grow np to be men ol honor with this' running sore upon our politic? Good men in both parties ought to stand shoulder to shoulder in this matter and crush the evil spirit that would debauch the ballot and demoralize society. Far better that a candidate should go down in honorable defeat than that he should secure his election at the price of his own man hood and that ot others. We desire to give the spntiment contained in this let ter our henrty endorsement, and we hope that it will strike a re sponsive chord iu the hearts of enough men in Davidson county to cieato a sentiment that will drive out the money changes from the temple of oar liberty and make it so hot that no man will dare sppnd a dollar in buying ' up the rattle who are miscalled men; and not only in David son, but we trust this eenti ment may spread to eyery section of our State and stay the evil that threatens to en gult us, .Vote-buying is a crime against the common wealth.and no end that can be reached will justify snrh meansjCbanty and Children Stomach troubles, Constipation.

The Saeredness of Savings, News and Observer. The two deaths, one by heart failure and the other by suicide, which resulted bom the wrecking through the dishonesty of its officers of the Chicago, Milwaukee Avenue bank, are pitiful evi dence of the almost sacred character of money to the poor. Money which has been saved from scant wages comes with time to rank with its possessor almost as a child. It is something which they live for and adore - without which they are deso late. The tragedy of the loss of savings means some thing more than tho loss of monej. Savings bv the poor is a sentiment deeper and a part from the instinct of mi serliness. The savings may uever be spent. In the majori ty of cases they are never used tor the purpose for which they are accumulated. Death generally, finds them in tact, lor the heirs, but their loss their loss is there by the deeper. The money represents the power of inde pendence. It is the shield a- gninet the shadow of want. It holds dreams of rest which are all the more roseate be cause there is no chance of theii realization. When they are taken away, there fall all the ambition and pride which ha V9 lent to sordid lives a shining distinction. The stolid Chicago grocer heard in a breathless mo ment of the ruin of bis hopes. His stuuned mind saw the world that had been a place foi effort and happiness, a- chieved a bit at a time, a des olate place.. With tho mat ter-of-fact seriousness of his type bo retired to a back room and cut his throat. He made no displaj. He died simply because he could no onRer bear to live. All this, and the countless tragedies of the heart that do not get into the papers all tho hopek8snes and dis trees and the sense of failure, that numbs ffort and makes drones of workers because a couple of gentlemen on salary undertook to borrow the money of the poor with out interest and, pay it at desperate stakes. UnnesesHary Expensts. Acute attacks ofcolic and diarr hoea come on without warning and prompt relief must be obtained. There is no necessity of incurring the expense af a physician's service in such cases if Chambcrlin's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is at hand. A dose of this remedy will relieve the patient before a doctor could arrive. It has never b e 6 r. known to fail, even in the most severe and dangerous case and no family should be withontit.
