William Jennings Bryan ad dressed a multitude of laboring men in Chicago last Monday, abor Day in that city being made Bryan Day. Among other things he said: According to the Declaration of Independence, governments are instituted among men to se cure to them the enioyment of their inalienable rights. Among these inalienable rights, three are specifically enumerated life, iberty and the pursuit of happi ness, the second and third, however, are really parts of the first, for life means nothing to the individual if it is confined to mere animal existence. Man is distinguished from the brute in that the latter merely eats and sleeps and dies, while man is en dowed by the Creator with infi nite possibilities. Liberty is necessary for the realization of man's possibilities. His con science must be left free that he may fix for himself the relation between himself and his God. His mind must be left free that he may devise and plan for him self, for his family and for his fellows. His speech must be free that he may give to the world the result of his investiga tions and present to others the ideal which he is trying to realize in his work. His pen must be free that he may scatter seed thougnts to the uttermost parts of the earth and leave to poster ity a record of his work. He finds in government the cheap est, as well as the surest, protec tion of this liberty, to be, to think, to speak, to act. And what constitutes the pur suit of happiness? Man must have home and friends family and society. He must have food or he will starve. He must have clothing and shelter: he must have books, he must have instru ments with which to work. He must provide during the period of strength for the years when age dulls his energies and be numbs his hands. He may have ambition, he may have willing ness to work and an environ ment that spurs him on ; but the government may encourage or it may discourage his efforts. Gov ernment may bid him hope or leave him to despair. When I visited the valley of Jordan I learned that it is fertile and productive, and yet, instead of being cultivated like the val ley of the Nile, vast stretches of territory lie un tilled. Why? I was told that under the reign of the Sultan the toiler is not pro tected in the enjoyment of the fruits of his soil. If the farmer plants and tends his crop, the roving Bedouins will sweep down from the hills at harvest time and carry away the fruits of his industry. If the government does not as sure to the individual the enjoy ment of the result of his effort, there is no stimulus to industry. We have the best government on earth. It gives the largest liberty, the greatest hope and the most encouragement to the citizens, and yet, even in this country, it is always necessary to be on the watch to keep the instrumentalities of goverment from being turned to private gain. A MODERN PROBLEM. One of the greatest problems of today is to secure and equit able distribution of the proceeds of toil. The material wealth of this country is largely a joint product; in factories few people work along, and on the iarm a certain amount of co-operation is necessary. Where men work to gether, the army organization applies to some degree; that is, some direct, others are directed, The difficulty has been to divide the results fairly between the captains of industry and the pri vates in the ranks. As the divid ing is done largely by the cap tains, it is not unnatural that they should magnify their part and appropriate too large a share; neither is it unnatural that there should be complaint on the part of the toilers who think that their recompense is insufficient. The labor question, therefore, as it presents itself at this time, is chiefly a question asked for is legislation which will secure to each that to which his services entitle him. As legislation is secured through the ballot every one should use the ballot to ob tain the legislation necessary. The Democratic platform pre sents the ideal toward which the Democratic party is striving, namely, justice in the distribu tion of rewards. The Democratic party proclaims that each indi vidual should receive from socie ty a reward for his toil commen surate with his contribution to the welfare of society, and un less some other party can do the work better, the Democratic party ought to have the support of all, whether they belong to the wage-earning class or occupy positions in which they direct the efforts of others. If an officer in the industrial army were sure that his children and his child ren's children would inherit his position, he might feel possibly indifferent as to those under his cammand, but the children of those who. today, work for wages may employ the children of those who, in this generation, are em ployers. This uncertainty as to future generations, as well as our sense of justice, should lead us to make the government as near ly perfect as possible, for a good government is the best legacy that a parent can leave to his child. Riches may take the wings of the morning and fly away, but goverment is perma nent, and we cannot serve pos terity better than by contribut ing to the perfection of the gov ernment, that each child born in to the world may feel that it has here an opportunity for the most complete development, and a chance to secure, through service, the largest possible happiness and honor.

Poole was instructed to issue notices to both parties. Representatives of Seventeen Eastern Counties of the State Meet in Newbern to Discuss the Matter of Swamp Drain age. A drainage convention was held in Newbern Wednesday and Thursday for the purpose of dis cussing the important question of drainage. The following is taken rrom the report of the convention to The Charlotte Ob server: The first speech was from Hon. J. H. Small, of Washington, N. C. His remarks were based on the proposition that what was practically regarded as valueless land has been demonstrated to be fertile. As the lands of the West have been reclaimed by irrigation, so the swamp lands can be easily reclaimed and the southland may claim for its twentieth century heritage a rich and priceless treasure. Not only do the swamp lands reauire drainage, he said, but also the open lands a little higher in position but more or less under water. He referred to conditions in Hyde county where at present there is no certainty of obtain ing good results because the land is under water. Fertile river bottoms of the trucking and the piedmont sections are also sub ject to this treatment. Drain age concerns the whole State and what is done for a section in this work will benefit the entire Commonwealth. The study of the drainage question is some thing of a revelation. By it this section will be transformed not only in agricultural and com mercial lines but also in altering health conditions. Drainage has two benefits. One is to the pri vate owner, his land being in creased in value, aud one to the puoiic m the health improve ment of the community. We must get together and co-operate to accompliah the results offered by this idea. The project is too gigantic to undertake in a pri vate capacity. No corporation could do it. Only through co operation with the government can they be accomplished. The help drainage would give to highways was also mentioned. illiteracy and the inactivity of Southern people was criticised and cited as a cause for the neglect of this importaut feature of agricultural improvement. We need a law which shall say to men, "You shall drain your land." It is a necessity and there must be a compulsory feature to make the plan universal. On closing Mr. Small referred to two men whose work in behalf of drainage has been signally suc cessful: Prof. J. O. Wright and Dr. J. H. Pratt. venture have been found to be most approved. The plans cost money but money well expended every time. A map of North Carolina was displayed showing the amount of land reckoned as swamp land. There were 28 counties in the ist, involving a total of 4.505 square miles. State Forester W. W. Ashe spoke on drainage and forestry and stated that timber will thrive better in a moderately dry soil and consequently drainage is good for the conservation of forests. The land now practical- y useless as swamps will easily provide for 100,000 people. Tim ber land under drainage can be developed to make a paying investment and lands that can not be drained should be used continuously for timber growth. The thicker the trees grow, the better the quality and the dif ference in quality makes a pro portional difference in price. Legislature protection is needed for forests as much as for cities and unless it is given the forests will be greatly injured. Senator Simmons was the next speaker. He made a fine address touching on government aid in the matter and made it plain that it was the duty of the government to assist. It is im possible for a private corpora tion to undertake it and as the government has aided the people who live in the lands of the West to make their country habitable so it might aid in the reclama tion of swamp land. The latter is only a reverse of the principle of the former. He expressed a desire to see the State in action; co-operations is vital. Federal aid for the farmers is sure to come, but they must show some spirit in their labor, and when the Federal and State governments unite with the people to accomplish this great work the untillable land as it is at present will blossom like roses.

Brown, of Pitts field, Vt. Guaranteed satisfactory at all drug stores. 25c. Professor Wright was the next speaker. He said the value of property depends on the com pensation it returns. Railroad and bank stock is expected to give good dividends; a store is only valuable when it returns a rent. So the farm is only in trinsically good for the actual benefit derived. It is only half good when it can do half thework. There are 3,000,000 acres of swamp land in North Carolina,a large portion cultivatable. Swamp land will produce no revenue ex cept through the yield of timber but in most cases the land could be made more available if drain ed. Indiana tried the experi ment with splendid success and land which could originally have been purchased for $10 to $25 an acre now sells for $120 to $175. Conditions similar to those are in existence here. He told of a method adopted in Illinois which increased the value of farm lands 500 per cent, in a year. The Legislature passed a law enabling the people to drain a fixed area of land. Then they carried on a work of education and got the sentiment of the people in a right direction. The law provided that a majority of the residents in certain sections should apply to the court for draining land, the court ap points a surveyor and two view ers who make a preliminary ex amination and estimates and report to the court. The report is placed on file and the people given a right to examine, amend, reject or adopt it as they see fit. The surveyor and viewers go over the tract a second time, make a more detailed report and give the same to the court and action is taken. In this wav large sections of the State have been reclaimed and are rapidly being freed from the noxious effects of swamps.

The following interesting story is taken from the report in The Brownwood, (Texas, ) Bulletin of a recent meeting of the Stonewall Jackson Camp of that place: Dr. Steel, chaplain of the camp, exhibited a memento from Stone' wall Jackson s grave, sent to him by Dr. J. J. Lafferty of Vir ginia. It is a tiny acorn made from the root of a tree that grew on Jackson s grave. Accom panying the acorn is the state ment 01 its history. in lb4 a gentleman in Cincinnati sent through the lines a twig of Paul- onia lmpenahs to Col. J. T. L. Preston, of Gen. T. J. Jackson s taff, wnh the request that it be planted by the tomb of the Con iederate warrior, m the ceme tery at Lexington, Va. It made rapid growth, and in vears dis turbed the modest mound. In 1784 Mrs. Jackson directed its removal. The sexton opened the earth, and the company present tound that the roots had gone directly to the coffin, entered through the crevices of the de caying casket and embraced by curious curves and bendings, the body of the dead champion of the South. Sections of the tree were presented to the undersigned (Dr. Lafferty). These little acorns have been made from the under ground root, which held in its twining fibers the dust of the matchless hero, seeming to hug the heart of the mighty dead. the plant is a native to the war like Empire of the Mikado, and drew its nourishment, with sing ular ntness, from the ashes 01 a chieftain of a like land of daunt less men. This wood holds in its grain and texture the rare riches of Jackson s brain, nerve and heart. To the men who know the memory of the great captain, it is a precious possession, 'bet ter than the merchandise of silver." Dr. Steel will place this tiny token of the mighty warrior in the Carnegie Library. An Old-Time Weather Prophet Monroe Enquirer. A few weeks ago Mr. Sanford Smith, of Lanes Creek township, told us there would he rams enough to flood all lowlands be fore the summer was over, for the bugs, which burrow in the earth, the little things which make holes in the ground and live in them knew by instinct, or otherwise, what was coming, and had left the doors of their habitation wide open so they could get out. In dry seasons the openings to these homes of the little burrowing folks are closed, so the older people who know about such things tell us' A Paying Investment.

In perusing the columns of your valuable paper, which is a welcome visitor to my sanctum, for twice a week its smiling face beams on us, we find contribu tion after contribution from many sections of the county, the grand old county of Robeson, and of other section of the country as well. Among them I notice. and with pleasure, too, one from A. L. Davis, a former Robeson ian but now of the Birmingham District, the State of Alabama. (Here we rest) He has favored us occasions with his ever bright and always spicy articles, for he has a knack at pleasing one's palate, especially the kind and pleasing references given "Aunt Becky , one who has for a term of years continued to place us all under lasting obligations to her for the many sweet and delecta ble things said of men and things concerning the issues of the day' rsow, i would mention, u you will permit, that the writer, be ing a visitor to the old soldiers reunion in Birmingham last June, did not meet the aforesaid A. L. Davis; but will right here and now say that we heard his mer ry laughter from the sidewalk as we passed his place of residence down there on one of the many green hillsides of the beautitu Pratt City, a pleasant suburb of Birmingham, where we old sol diers and sons and daughters of those who wore the gray collect ed by the thousands trom every hamiet and hilltop of the South to do honor to ourselves and to the cause we had the distinguish ed pleasure to represent. And we would like to say further we found there some dear old school mates and friends of more youth ful days who have found it to their advantage to seek homes and to gain friendships in this great giant of the South-West. Among other thoughts crowding in upon our already burdened mind we are reminded force ably oi the very ieeiing and touching lines of a famous poet Oft m the stilly night, 'Ere slumber's chains have bound me Fond memories bring to mind lhe light of other days, etc. It seems you and your fellow countrymen are just emerging from the warmest political cam paign of the age, locally, I mean Now the writer would say that if there is anything more dis tastetul to him than persona politics it would be hard to place it. Now again, we can remember when we over here in the Swamp Fox country had a common ene my in a combination of carpet bagger, scallawag and the negro, just immediately succeeding the civil war, when the poor negro ! (just emerging from the bonds of slavery) had the right of suf frage imposed upon him by a war measure born in hatred, pre judice and malice by the dirty andpolluted minions of the North. Then, and in that event we found pleasure in making what puny and feeble resistance we could to such disabolical measures as was heaped upon us through a period of years of torture and torment. At such a time and under such conditions as these, I repeat, we could afford to grow indignant at the treatment received at the hands of such an array, but when we have to fight brothers, friend, neighbor in a great political bat tle such as is almost always the case, from all such we beg to be excused. Well, I can add that your ex perience is our expenence, ior we over here in Marion county have just closed one of the warm est campaigns in history. I have not space, if I had time and in clination, to give details. I will say. however, that the termina tion, while not satisfactory to all, is, we think, tavorable. It you will pardon the length, will say we selected for Senator, Hon. W J. Montgomery, a practicing law yer far many years at the Man on bar.a man of ripe judgment. And then for sheriff, we have another worthy son of Marion and a grandson of Richmond county (now bonnie Scotland), your State W. L. Blue, son of Hon. John G. and brother of En sign Victor Blue, U. S. navy, the man who has gained fame and honor in the service of his coun try, and, by the way, a nephew of the present incumbent, Capt. Wm. T. Lvans, who was a gal lant and popular Confederate soldier. He will have, Janu ary next, completed his 12th year of service in the office and with regret to his many friends vacates, that his kinsman may assume charge.
