n VOLUME XXII. DAY Yea, to-day THE NEW YORK RA.CKET, stands fighting, as she has alwavs done, the Old- Rotten Credit System, for the Almighty Dollar, for repudiation and for the people' Not by favor, but by merit alone will the HEW YORK RACKET Maintain and Increaee its UNRIVALED REPUTATION. Big Prices W'll not do in these times when fiveu the rich cannot afford to waste tbe.r money and the poor require Double duty of every Dollar and every Penny Therefore the mer chants who expect to make a euc ceaa have got to do away with the OM Aristocratic way of conducting a business, and not buy goods on Long Time and pay Long Time Prices, mar them from 50 to 100 per cent,, set back on their dignity and expect the people to come in and boy .their goods at such so called "LIVE and LET LIVE PRICES." THOUSANDS Of Broad minded men and women will testify that Lenoir was one Qf the many towns that was Cursed and crushed down with just such merchants, who would not stop with celling their goods at such Outrageous Prices, Bat would combine against others who would come and sell goods ;rigbt. THE OLD NEW YORK Has pullesl through all their Combinations, , T(re Down all their Breast Works, And to-day stands Gigantic, ready for anything that can come against her. ISMS We do not claim to have done all this' alcne. We have had help. We have been BACKED UP by the people of our country who are Level-headed, Honest, Upright, and who do not want to - Throw away what they have worked for by pay ing Two prices For what they are compelled to buy, We don't hear any more such re ports as : 'They won't be here long." "They just run In and get what they can and they go to some oth er place." No, as we have always said, We are here to stay with you, And all we ask is You stick to us. Your Friend, TO THE HEW YORK RACKET. TBE UfSTLFTSE B0UE8- The mistletoe bough hung in the - castle hall, ThA holly branch Bhone on the old oak wall: And the barons retainers were blithe and gay, And keeping their Xmas holiday: The baron beheld with a father's pride, His beautiful child,yoaDg LvelUs bride; While she with her bright eyes seemed to be The, star of the goodily company. Oh the mistletoe bough, Oh the mistletoe bough! "I'm weary of dancing now," she cried; 'Here tarry a moment, I'll hide, I'll hide And Lovell, be sure thou'st the first to trace, The clue to my secret lurking place." Away she run and her friends be gan Each tower to search, and each nook to scan; And ycung Lovell cried, "Where dost thou hide ? I'm lonesome Without thee, own dear bride." Oh the mistletoe bongh, Oh the m.stletoe bough! They sought her that night and all the next day. Aiid they sought her in vain when a week passed away. In the highest, the lowest, the loneliest spot YouDg Lovell sought wildly bat found her not. And years flaw by, and their grief at last . Was told as a sorrowful tale long past; And when Lovell appeared the children cried See," the old man weeps for his fairy bride. Oh the mistletoe bough, Oh the mistletoe bough! At length an oak chest that had long lain hid Was found in the castle they opened the lid -And a skeleton form lay moulder ing there. In the bridal wreath of the lady fair. Oh sad was her fate in sportive jest She hid from her Lord in the old oak chest. It closed with a spring, and her bridal bloom Lay withering there in a living tomb. Oh the mistletoe bough. Oh the mistletoe bough! B, B. T. Judge Norwood Bight Imitate Judge La inlaw's Example, N. C. Prcsbjterian. Ex-Police Judge Alexander Laid law, of Oakland, Cal., died recent ly m San Francisco. While on the bench Judge Laidlaw'a bibulous es capades became the talk of the town. Onoday a newspaper had an editorial comment, referring to the peculiar position of a judge on the bench who was called upon to sentence men for drunkenness while he himself shoald be in the dock. The next morning after the cal endar in his court had been gone through. Judge Laidlaw looked at the clerk and said: "Yon will make this entry on jour calendar: 'Alexander Laidlaw, drunkenness.'" ''Yes," said the astonished clerk. "Arrested by himself," the judge went on, "Yes." "Alexander Laidlaw ia fined 150. Here is the money." At once the country rang with hiB fame, but from that time for ward Alexander Laidlaw drank no more -Baltimore Sun. We clip this to remark that such a course of action might be well followed by a judge in North Car olina, who doubtless finds himself occasionally, called upon to sentence men for crimes committed while under the influence of alooholio liquor, and who himself, is not in frequently in a state of "infirmity" while on the bench and elsewhere. If he will follow Judge Laidlaw's example and drink no more the paople in North Carolina will most heartily rejoice, but if not the prei of -the State with united voice shonld call for his prompt resigna tion, and failing in securing that ,they should demand bia impeachment.

Nor should they ever refuse to acknowledge with contrite hearts their pronenesa to turn away from God's teachings to follow with signal prido their own devices.

According to a celebrated anatom ist there are upwards of 5,000,000 little glands in the human stomach These glands pour cut the digestive juice which devolves or digests the food Indigestion is want of ju'ce, weakness of glands, need ot help to restore the health of these organs. The best and most natural help is that given by Shaker Digestive Cor dial. Natural, because it supplies the material needed by the glands to prepare the digestive juices. i Be cause it strengthens and invigorates the glands and the stomach, until they are able to do their wcrt alone.

PalBtrtad Beckser, When, Some weeks ago, John M. Palmer and Hon. Simon Boliver Buckner were nominated for Pres ident and Vice-President, respect ively by the "bolting Democrats at Indianapolis, we ventured the pre diction that by the close of the campaign they would be objects of almost universal contempt and rid icule. We think we may say this morning that our prophesy has been fulfilled. At no time during the contest have they been seriously considered for the places to which they pretend to aspire. It has been understood on all sides that their candidacy was absurd; that they never would have been considered for the frac tion of an instant by any conven tion representing a real party; that they were performing simply as de coys to trap timid and nnwary Democrats and deliver them to Mr. Hanna to swell the triumphal pro cession of McKinley. Nobody has regarded them with respect. No one has contributed to their fund except as a means of promoting the Republican cause Nobody wanted to elect them. Nobody has offered them the poor travesty of reverence and honor- They have gone through the country, a conple of transparent mountebanks and mummers. Robert Macaire and Sacques Strop themselves were not more impudent impostors. It seems incredible that they conld have ex pected more than half contemptu ous toleration, yet oftener than once they have resented it with a fury that made them only more ridiculous. They have, in fact, saddened us with the thought that out pf more than seventy millions of people they only have failed to realize the'r political predica ment. McKinley will be elected and he will administer the affairs of gov ernment as best he can under the conditions that beset him. Bryan will be defeated, and will return to private life, conscious of having made the most gallant and brilliant fight that man ever made against overwhelming and unconquerable odds. Both will be shrined in the affection, the confidence, and the respect of those who have followed them throughout. Both will be recognized by their' fellow-citizens as genuine gladiators in a genuine arena. But these poor puppets, these make-believe champions of a tinsel cause they will, along with their beggary retinue of allies, the Bynums, the Cockrana, and the eulking Hills, pass from the stage without one cheering word or pity ing tear, fortnnate beyond their best deserts if they be forgotten utterly. The world forgives the man who will not vote against his conscience. It never forgives and it is seldom able to forget the man who plays the huckster with his dignity. Washington Post. TIUELY TOPICS.
