Only a little, shrivelled seed
It might be flower, or grass or weed;
Only a box of earth on the edge
Of a narrow, dusty window ledge;
Only a few scant summer showers.
Ouly a few clear, shining hours,
Thapwas all. Yet God could make
Out of these, for a sick child's sake,
A blos-m-wonder as fair and sweet
As ever broke at an angel's feet. '
Only a life of barren pain - u
wet with sorrowful tears for rain;
Warmed sometimes by a wandering
gleam - -
Of joy, that seemed bat a happy dream ;
A life as common and brown and bar
As the box of earth in the window there;
x ei ii oore at last me precious bloom
Of a perfect soul in that narrow room
I'ure as the narrow leaves that fold
Over the flower's heart of gold.

Clearly . and Acceptably Defined by
the State Executive Committee
Following is the address issued by
the Democratic btate executive
committee at its meeting at Ral
eig'a Thursday night:
"The representatives of the
Democratic party in North Caro
lina congratulate the Democrats of
her sister states, who, with a firm
stand for the .principles embodied
in the Chicago platform, have won
splendid victories for the people.
"In rejoicing at the success of
the Democratic party in the late
elections, we remind the people
that Democratic majorities were
largest, and Republican majorities
were smallest, in those states where
that platform was the issue. It is
become; a farce,
office-holders be
and I criminal,
and vice rais
ed above intelligence and, virtue.
We denounce the, efforts of this
combination to place the insane of
the State at the mercy of incompe
tent, vicious and lustful men, and
we condemn the changes wrought
in oar laws whereby ignorant and
impure men have been placed in
control of schools, courts, prisons
and asylums. These are the ini
evitable consequences of Republi
can rule. The Democratic party I
promises the people bn its return to
power to correct all these abuses.

The Other States Have Swung Back
i and North Has a Republican
Government.
The only remaining result of the
organization of tbe People's party
Is the resurrection and restoration
to power df the Republican party
in poor old North Carolina. This
is the only present result of that
party's organization in the United
States. At first, when tbe People's
party was first organized, with tbe
help of the Democrrts it carried
Kansas, which had been a strong
Republican state,and mighty things
were predicted for it-. Then it car
ried Colorado, and one or two other
"mining camp" states, and then
the leaders of the People s party
were greatly encouraged and boast
ed of their power. Southern Dem
ocrats . were made to believe that
the People's party was sweeping
over tbe country-like a tidal wave,
and thousands were persuaded to
abandon their old party and unite
with this "young giant of the
West." And what is the result?
Just exactly what the Record
and other Democratic papers pre
dicted has happened. These Wes
tern States have returned to Re
publican rule to their first love
and North Carolina has a Republi
can Governor and is today govern
ed by a gang of as incompetent
and unprincipled demagogues as
ever disgraced any state.
Was it for this that honest men
abandoned the Democratic party
and joined the so-called People's
party? Chatham Record.

The Attorney-General Knew.
t Attorney General Walser recent
ly gave an opinion that sheriffs
could not enforce the provisions of
sections 35 36 of the new revenue
act against tax delinquents until
after the regular timejtor the sher
iffs to make levy and sale. The act
names September 1 as the day when
taxes are due and ;that imprison
ment is the penalty for delinquency.
The Supreme Court how says, in
tbe sase of the State against Jone,
from Rockingham, that under the
above named sections it is jot the
legal dijty of the sheriff to mafee
report of delinquents to ine court
until after the day of levying and
selling has passed. So the court
sustains tbe contention of the At
torney General.

Tbe petition declares that Bart

dead, having been sentenced to tbe
penitentiary for twenty years.
His attorneys jdeclare that under
tbe Plate law no convict can) be
sued. If this contention is held
the suit against the bondsmen can
not be maintained, since tbe prin
