Judg.- Parker to-night gave the
press an open letter addressed "To
rim Tlrm..r.r.v .if (tin W. finn " in
v .... v..w
which he thanked those in charge of
his campaign woik and declared
that the people will soon realize that
the "tariff fed trusts are absorbing
the wealth of the nation. lie said
when that lime comes tho people
will turn to the Democratic party
for relief. In this letter Judge
Parker says he shall never seek a
nomination for public oflicc. The
letter follows:
"To the Democrats of the Nation:
"Our thanks are due to tho mem
bers of the national committee and I
to the executive committees in charge
of the campaign, for their unselfish,
capable and brilliant party service, j
All that it was possible for men to
do, they did, but our difficulty was
beyond the reach of party managers,
"1 am most giatetul to tliem and
wish in this genetnl way to extend j
my thanks to the workers, as well us :
the rank and tile, a I over the .
country. I know how hard they '
struggled against overwhelming odds, '
and 1 only wish I could take each
one by the hand and thank him. '
"Deeply us I regretted leaving the ;
bench at the time, in the presence of j
overwhelming defeat I do not lament ,
it. I thought it was my duty. In
the light ot my present information
I am MM nvon m.iri. .nn li,l..n H...I I 1

did right. I sha I never seek a uonii-!
nation for public office, but I shall1
to the best of my ability serve uie i
party that has honored me. audi
through the party my country. j
"The party has in the near fu-'
tinea jreat mii-sion. Befoie long
the people will realize that the tarill
fed trials and illigul combinations
are absorbing ihe wealth of the j
nation. '
"Then they will wish to throw off
these leeches, but the Keptiblican
paity will not aid them to do it, for
its leaders appreciate too well the
uses to which the meney of the
trusts can be put in political cam
paigns. "When thai time comes, and come
it will, the people will turn to the
Democratic party for relief, and the
party should be ready ready with
at organization of patriotic citizens
covering every election district who
are willing to work for the love of
the ciiuse-an organization support-
ed by as many town, city, country I
and State officers as we are able to j
elect in the meantime. We entered !
this campaign with every Northern,
Eastern and Western State, save one,
in Republican control.
This gave to the party a large
army of office-holders, reaching into
every hamlet, many of whom follow
ed the examples set for them by the
members of the President's cabinet
ru devoting their time and services
to Uie party.
"To accomplish much in this di-
rection, however, we must forget the i
difficulties of the past. If anyone
suspects his neighbor of treachery,
If he knos he has deserted us, let
hire not tell it. Our forces have ,
been weakened by divisions, wej
hare quarreled at times over non-
esentials. If we would help Un
people, if we would furnish an orga
nization through which they may be
relieved of a party that has grown so
corrupt that it will enter into part
nership with trusts to secure moneys
for election purposes, we must for
get the differences of the past aud .
b)?in this day to build up,
wherever it may be needed, a broad
and effective organization. And we
must by constant teaching through
the press and from the platform, ap
prise the people of the way the vi
cious tariff circles work.
"We must bring home to them at
other than election times, the fact
that money contributed to the Re
publican party by the trusts is not
only dishonest, but it is given that
the trusts may, withottt hindrances,
take a much larger, sum from the
peoule. t
"In the presence of a defeat that
would take sway all personal ambi
tion, were it true that otherwise it
possessed me I do not - hesitate to
say that in my opinion the greatest
moral question which now confronts
ns, is: "snail toe trusts and cor
porations be prevented from'contnb-
u ting money to contiol or to aid is
controlling elections?"
"Such service m I can render in
that direction will be gladly render
ed. And I beg the no-operation as a
fellow-worker of every Democrat is

MRS. CARLTON'S WONDERFUL STORY,
Maine Woman's Thrilling Experience Du
plicated in Asheborn.
There are scores of families in
Asheboro and near by towns who
will read with interest the wonder
ful experience of Mrs A L Carlton,
one of the best known wonieu in
llockland, Me.
Mrs Carlton says: "1 suffered
with stomach trouble for eigb t years,
growing worse all the time. Three
of the best docters in Maine diag
nosed my case as cancer of the stom
ach and declared I could not live two
months. Utterly discouraged with
their treatment, I began using Mi-o-na
and commenced to gain at once.
At this time, I was reduced to almost
skin and bones, as I had lost nearly
100 pounds during mv sickness, but
when I began to take Mi-o-na, my
flesh was built up und I gained 22 J
lbs. the first month. I have taken
only six packages of these wonderful
tablets, but my health is about re
stored and I firmly believe that Mi
o-ns saved my life."
The Asheboro Drug Co. is local
agent for Mi-o-na, which sells for
50 cents s box, and offer it under
personal guarantee that if it does not
care the worst ferm of stomach
trouble and resulting disorders, the
meney will be refunded.

"Y tiiiisl interpret the laws for
the protection of the young against
cruelly, opprcrsnm, and injustice."
says Henry .'ii Pykein F.vcn body's
Magazine lor December, "as evidence
of the world's growing sense of jus-
lice. Beginning with the Factory
Ai I of lh:i.'l and the Mines und Col
lieries Act of lS- in England, there
has been u steadily increasing effort
to iliinini.-li and prevent the degrada
tion of the race by the enslavement
f childhood to labor. Faci! the
parent's right of control, says the
modern world, must be held in har
mony with the child's light to life
and growth, mental, and physical.
The law itself must recognize the in
justice of dealing with young delin
quents as if they were old and hard
ened criminals. No more herding
of children ten and twelve years old
in the common jail! Juvenile courts
and probation officers, asylums and
reformatories, an intelligent and sys
tematic effort to reclaim the young
life before it 1ms fallen into hopeless
Iionduge to crime: this is the spirit
if civilized legislation today. In
1003 no less than ten of the Ameri
iin States ei. acted special statutes
with this end in view."

Result.
j llon.lolui II Rugaii, of Texas, ex-
j pivssi-s broad views in summing up
the result of theelect'on ill the fol
lowing line-:
The .National Democratic conven
tion was composed of able, earnest,
patriotic men. It adopted a plat
form m harmony with tho Declara
tion of In j. pendente and the con
stitution of tin United States, and
with the failitinus of the father
for the first three-iiuar'ers of a cen
tury of the history of the great re
public. It nominated for president
one of th.i ablest statesmen, one of
the purest men, and one of the most
earnest Dumocrats in the tmon
His letter of acceptance and cam
paign siieeclus proved him to bf
wise, patriotic and true to the prin
eiplcs of the .Democratic party
' bile lie and the Democracy
have been defeated in the election
they have made a record in favor of
snniid principles and tidi-nty to the
nest interests ol the American peo
pie, of which he and they may he
justly proud.
"In this contest the Demociats
sought to re-establish and maintain
a government which would perpetu
ate the liberties of the people, and
rest upon the equal and political
rights of all, and which would be
supported bv the wisdom und virtue
of the American people. While the
liepublieati party relied on money
(untie .'uailatile thiough the agency
of clas inlei ests, the trusts and the
monopolies and the poweiful agency
ot the different departments of the
federal government, in disregard of
the constitution, ihe traditions of
the cuiiutry and of right and com
"Whatever the future may bring
to view, we should nil feel proud of
the heave und splendid effort of the
Democrat ic. purty for the preserva
tion of eonstitutioual government
and popular liberty.
Let every Democrat read the
above. The recent overwhelming
defeat Democracy has suffered will
serve to solidify and bring together
democrats with a determination to
win. The same impulsds control
the li.ind and actions of Democrats
everywhere. The personal triumph
of Mr Rouicvelt can be but tempor
ary. The great principles of demo
cracy must win, aud while in the re
cent election the democratic party
went down in defeat we have won a
victory in harmonizing the factions
of the party.
Failed to Kide Into Office On a Whiskey
Barrul.
The white men of North Carolina
by a large majority are in favor of
temperance and are opposed to bar
rooms and a hiskey still. This was
fully pioved at last week's election.
The Democratic party is entitled
to the thanks of every friend of tem
perance for its passage of the Watts
law, and is defense during the re
cent campaign. Many Democrats
feared that the passage of that law
would almost wieck the paity, and
that arg'iiuent against its passage
was strongly urged when the bill
was pending in the last Legislature.
When the State convention met last
June at Greensboro many Democrats
thought that an endorsement of the
Watts law would b bad policy and
probably defeat our candidates in
mauv counties.
The result of the election has
proved how groundless were those
fears, and has sadly disappointei
those Republicans who had hoped to
ride into office on a whiskey barrel.

At Night.
One more day of school is num
bered with the past. I have fixed
my lamp, made a lire in the heater,
and seated myself to think over the
day. It has not been a very long
day, and that is one thing I have
to be thankful for. I have talked a
good deal, und made some lasting
impressions possibly upon the youn

this, and tell them many things, in
as interest i ng h manner as possible,

my lulks'too vivid, or heart rending;
nor to leave the impression that I
could possibly remember any of the

I said 1 have prepared myself for a

thankful we got our governor if not
our president. We all turned out
here to hear Kitchin; (and we list

also went of course to hear Bob
Glenn. He spoke, about one hour
and a half. We hud a free lnnch,
then all went and spoke to the Gov

cut und dried speeches for him. I
had neither, so I just waived a large
buscuit I had in my hand and said
I'itosPKitiTY. I thought possibly
this would do as well us any thing
under the circumstances. I took
rather more interest in politics this
fall than usual. I wanted the pres-

was so glad to know my adopUd
county went democratic, I hope
dear old Randolph did also, aud I
guess she did.
Well I have about talked out on
politics, for my knowledge does not
xtend very far. I always thought
it best to let things alone over
which I nad no control or voice.
While we can't help but be a little
out of heal t over the result of the
great contest we have a great deal to
be thankful for. For such glorious
fall weather. The sun rise us clear
and bright as May time, only a hint
now aud then of a cooler time after
awhile.
The Chrysanthemums are in full
bloom, my desk each morning is lit
erally covered in the yellow, white,
red und all the other colors; aud
while I hear them read aud spell,
and see them make figures, I cau
look at tho bright side of life, and
moralize on all the "ins and outs"
of this checkeied existence.
I am getting out of the way of
talking as 1 practice but little so
you will excuse this letter which ap
pears to me stilted and forced, as if
1 were not exactly sure of what 1
want to say.
I see The Courier now and then.
It is the same paper, I am glad to
say. Hoping I may be more alive to
my subject another time,
I am very truly,
