Following is the p'atform as adopted by the recent State Dem ocratic Convention: We, the representative of the Democratic party, in convention assembled, reaffirm our devo tion to the time-honored princi ples of constitutional govern merit, as established by the la ther of the republic, Hnd to the still greater principles of human equality, as praclaimed by Jef ferson, with equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and hereby declare: We favor an income tax. We favor the election of Sena tors by a direct vote of the peo ple. We oppose subsidies in any onn. We layor publication of cam paign funds both before nnd af ter primaries, conventions and elections We condemn the corrupt use f inoney.or other corrupt means to influence oters in primaries, conventions and election, and we favor the enactment of such criminal laws as will , effectually prevent such practicies. We favor the improvement of our public roads and highways wise ami reasonable drainaire aws and the conservation of all our national resources. We favor and endorse the pol icy of the Democratic party iu the pension of the Confederate veterans of the State and pledge ouiselves to. a continuation of such policy. We pledge ourselves to the con tinued development of the in ternal affairs ot the State, to the maintenance of the institutions for the insane, deaf, dumb and blind, and all other charitable institutions of the State, and to the extension and enlargement of these, institutions to meet the demands upon the State and the nes of the unfortunates, who require the care nnd mainten- ence ol the government. We endorse the policy of. the Democratic party of the State in its support of the educational institution of the State- and we pledge ourselvps to as liberal ap propriations for the support, up. building and developement ol such institutions as the finances of the State will permit. We believe education to be one of the fundamental needs and chief functions of all goyarnment We believe in the inherited right of every child to an equal chance to develop, through education, every power within him for citi zenship and service and in the duty of the State to place ade quate opportunity, for such de velopement within the reach of every child. We congratulate the people up on the fulfillment of the pledge of the Democratic party for a four months' public school in cv eveiy district of the State, .and upon the educational progress made under the administration of the Democratic party. We favor the continued support and increased efficiency of the public school system in the State and the enlargement of the opportu nities of the children of the State to obtain an education; and we favor an increased length of pub lic school term as fast as practi cable. ve la vor proper provis ions for such instruct ions in the public schools as will foster an interest in country life and fur nish better, preparations for more profitable farming, and more comfortable living in the country: The supervision and control of public service corporations is a well recognized right of the State and national governments and we pledge ourselves to the enfor cement of this right in the inter est of l be people ol the State, con ustent with fair and just treat-4 meot of the public service corpo ration", and no public service corporation shall grant any spe cial privilege, or other favor, to any person or corporation. We am opposed to and demand the suppression ol tructa and monopolies and favor the enact ment of such laws in both state and nation, with such necossary machinery and powers an will make their existence impossible. We lielieve that guilt is personal, as well as corporate, and we de mand that all anti-trust laws be enforced both by the civil and criminal processes of our courts. We denounce protection an a robbery ol the many to enrich the few and we favor a tariff lim ited to the needs of the govern ment, economically administered and ho levied as not to discrimi nate against any industry, class or section, to the end that, the burdens of taxation shall tie dis tributed as equally as possible. We favor a revision and reduc tion of the tarjff to a revenue ba sis by the friends of the masses and for th commonwealth, and notbv the friends ol its abusps, its extortions and its discrimina tions, keeping in view the ulti mate end of "equality of burden and equality ol opportunities" and the constitutional purpose of raising a revenue by taxation to wit: the support of the Feder al government in all of its integ rity und verility, but in simpli city. We heartily endorse the record ol our Senators and Representa tives in the Comrress of the Uni ted States and the administra tion ol our State's affair by our Governor and other State ofti cers. We haye faith and confidence in the intelligence and patriotism of the people of the State and in the ultimate development of our unrivalen natural resources, and we cull upon all North Carolin ians to unite in one common ef fort to continue in power the ad ministration ol the party under whose government the State has made such rapid strides and . de velopment 6ince its adveut , to power. Ends Hunt For Rich Girl. Often a hunt for a rich wife ends when the man meets a woman that uses Electric Bitters. Her strong nerves tell in a bright brain ami ev en temoer. Her peach bloom com. ptexion and ruby lips result from her pure blood; her bright eyes from restful sleep; her elastic step from firm, free muscles, all telling of t'.ie health and strength Electric Bitters give a woman, and the free, dom from indiges'ion, backache, headache, fainting and dizzy spells they promote. Everywhere they are woman's favorite remedy, if weak or ailing try them. 50 at a'l druggists. About the best thing Wm. J. Bryan has said lately was a re mark to Judge Ben. B.

At a remit commencement iu a North Carolina college, the ed itor of Charity and Children heard an orator who bad spent four years in college and who held a diploma Irorn that insti tution duly signed, sealed and delivered, say to an intelligent'au did nee: "I have give a good deal of study to the subject" Charity and Children thinks such lan guage "ought to down any man at any college." It holds that 'the use of correct and accurate En glish in conversation as well as in public speech ought to be a qualification reqimitf- to secur ing a diploma. A college is adver tised either favorably or other wise by the language used by its graduates. II a fellow knows bet ter butnatnrally prefers to use rheumatic English, heshould not be allowed to graduate; and if he does not know English, however proficient he may be in other things, he should likewise fail to get his sheepskin." Good so far as it goes, but Editor Johnson overlooks one important study in which, as a rule, the schools and colleges are deficient, It is selling. ''English." Ch ar i t y and Children maintains, ,-is by all odds the most important study in any college course, and yet it seems to be the one to which the least intelligunt atten tion is paid." We would under take to say thattliisscholar who "had give" such elase study to the subject upon which he under took to enlighten his audience, started at the had of a spelling bee, would go to the foot in one-two-three order. The defects of the teaching of good grammar are more manifest than are the failiugs to teach spelling, because it is easier for the grammarian to "give himself away." It is when the college man begins to writr pi"ci's lor thn paper that the edujational hll-downon the old Blue Back is made manilest. . Donghton Deserves It. The democratic congressional convention of this district, which meet s in Salisbury tomorrow, will renominate Congressman Dough ton by acclamation. He deser ves it. Mr. Doughton is a plain farmer and business man. He served one term inthelegisiature prior to his election to congress. In the larger field he has shown himself to be a faithful and in- dustrous member. It can be said of him without demagogu ery, that he is a plain man of the people. Without frills or affecta tion, he has labored faithfully and successfully tor what he be lieves to be the best interests ol his constituents and the country He has stayed on the job and guarded the interests he was ap pointed to guard. He not only deserves a unanimous nomina tion but a triumphant re-election which we feel sure the people of the district will give him. States ville Landmark. Helped to Keep Down Expenses, Mrs. J. E.

This is a big price to pay for a man, but if he's a good one, he's worth more than that price paid. Durham ' Sun iaetkf r Fat Tear. Four or five weeks ago, the faniert of this section of the South were bad ly in the dumps. The season was wet and late and they were far behind in cotton planting; operations. It did not .appear possible to get a full, crop of,' ton in the grouud, but just about the time they wre despairing there came a hot wave with drying ont winds and sunshine, and within a few davs, cotton planting was done. A full acreage was pot in and the stands " of both early and late planted give promise rather beyond expectations. Alongside the cotton field . corn is moving merrily in the breezes. There is more corn and better corn growing in North Carolina today than has been known in many years perhaps more than has been known in the history of the State. This grat ifying condition of affairs is due in a large weasnre to the inspiration cf the boys' corn contest clubs. In the production of eorn, North Caroliua is gowiog to make a new record this year. But not I. lone is it well with oottoa and corn. The fruitiuterests have emerged from all danger by frosts and there is going to be an a bnndiiucejof fiuits of all varieties. It is to be noted hat by reason of the fact that the orchard owners have been paying 11 ore attentl on to prun ing andeparyi lg, the apples crop will be not only la ger, but the apples will be of a better quality. The wheat hirvettt is ref. arded by the farmers a very satisfactory one, the oats crops is not bad as c ats go in North Caro lina, while the humble blackberry will probable do a little bit better that its best. Harring those who fail to elect their man, there is no reason why everybody fortunate enough to live in North Carolina, should not be measurably ha ppy durlngthe present year. Charlotte Observer Dangen Of Spitting. Ninety-per cent of ourconsurap tion." 6ay8 the North Carolina State Board of Health, "comes Irpm careless npitting, coughing and sneezing," particularly on the part of the consumptive, but also from people who are appar ent ly healthy. 'Spit is frequen tly laden with deadly disease germs, particularly that of con sumptives. "When one coughs, spits, or sneezes, a great multitude of ti ny drops of spittle are violently expelled from the mouth andnose. The largest of these drops can be readily seefl. A large number of smaller droplets can be found if a mirror or piece of glass is held before the face when coughing or sneezing. A tremendous quan tity of still smaller droplets are discharged in the form of an in visible spray or mist which floats about in the air for some time. Scientists have found that when a man coughs, spits or sneezes in a large hall or room where the air is quiet, these tiny, invisible germladen droplets will float in the air for a distance of 25 to 100 feet. These tiny droplets, in the form of mist or spray, may be breathed in by other people, or they may settleon objects with which they come-into intimate contact, such as food and cloth ing. Viewed in this" light, such conduct is at least impolite. Fur theruiore, it is dangerous to the public at large to have careless people actually coughing, sneez ing spitting germ-laden matter into their faces even if it is invisi ble and in the form ol fine mist."

If your income is the average in America, you are contributing 20 cent a week or more than flO a year to the pension fund ol the country, which, since the passage of the Sherwood pension bill amounts to $ 183.788,277 annually. This tremendous am ount of money is one per cent, of the income of the wage earners of the whole United States, and ever' taraiiy that eats, wears clothes, travels opdoes anything except breathe and drink water, contributes its part. The figures above are taken from the New York World, which states that to pay this vat sum to half a million men scattered over the United States and Eu rope is so huge a task that it will take 2G months merely to prepare the rolls for publication. There are 9,000 with incomes of over 2.400 a year, but the pro posal to exclude these and thus savp$113 000 was dropped be cause it would cost SoOO.OOO and delay the rolls lor three years. As rates vary from $13 to $30 a month are fixed on a sliding scale according to aire. servii and disability, they will shift constantly, necessitating an en ormous amount of clerical labor. The bill is less objectionable than in its first crude loi-m, but it is still in considerable part an irritating and needless transfer of money from Peter's pocket to Paul without even au attempt to investigate in individual ca seshe necessity of the transac tion.
