yesterday for two hours. He ad
dressed an audience in the court
house. The rain prevented his
occupying the stand erected for
his use at the corner of Main
and Innes streets, and owing to
the capacity of the court house,
his audience' was necessarily
crowded and limited. He seemed
to be at his best and greatly
pleased those who heard him.
It makes a very little difference
what Mr. Bryan's personal views
are in regard to government owner
ship or any other, issue. The
thing for the Democracy to do is
to made its own platform before
nominating a candidate, then
nominate the best man obtainable
who will stand flat-footed upjn
it. If Mr. Bryan should accept
the nomination under such condi
tions no one would doubt his
honesty and intention to live up
to the obligation. But would he
accept?
C. A. Matthews, 'who has been
connected with the Charlo 1 1 e
News since 1892, died in Ashe
ville late Thursday night. Mr.
Matthews was a capable and loyal
assistant on the staff of the News,
and was highly regarded by a
large circle of friends. Like
many newspaper men his end was
hastened by the constant strain
necessary upon the brain, nerves
and physical man. The man who
imagines the grind of such a life
is of no considerable consequence
knows not whereof he speaks.
We notice in the Statesville
Landmark that one J. C. Cono
ver, of the national department
of agriculture, is going about "in
the in the interests of the farm
ers who are interested in the erec
tion of good agricultural build
ings," We suppose this means
he is merely suggesting plans and
specifications, but it goes to re
mind us of the many ways the
government, state and national
is busying itself in the people's
afliairs. Some of which will ac
complish much good and some of
it is just simply meddliug and
furnishing jobs for run-abouts.

squares.
The records show that the plan
for the town was arranged by the
consent of Earl Granville before
the deeds to Churton and Vigers
and ; Carter and Foster were exe
cuted. The town was first divided into
four great squares, North, South,
East'.'and West, and these great
squares were divided into squares
twenty-four poles square, and each
square was divided into four lots,
twelve poles square and the deeds
for over half the lots have been
examined, and thev show that
every lot sold was by No. in the
greatj North, South, East or West
squaie, containing one hundred
and iorty-four square poles, rods
or perches.
The Corbin and Innes streets
were jeach six rods or poles wide,
and ill of the other streets three
rods I or poles each wide. This
makes Main and Innes streets
each ; ninety-nine feet wide, and
all the other streets forty-nine
and one-half feet wide.
The squares should all be three
hundred and ninety-six f e e t
squaie, and each lot should be
one j hnndred and ninety-eight
feet square.
The town of Salisbury, N. C,,
was beautifully arranged, with
nice wide streets but in some few
places we see the spirit of jkaft
reaching out and taking that
which properly belongs to the pub
lic, and the city aldermen should
see to it that no one should in
trude one inch upon the streets.
There is not anything that adds
more to the beauty of a town
than I broad streets, and a case re
cently decided before the Supreme
Court shows that the Board of
Aldermen can not give any one a
valid! right to build on and occu
py a portion of any street, and it
is claimed by some able lawyers
that ; a Board of Aldermen that
permits a party to build in the
street is liable to that party who
builds in the street, for damages,
if the party is ejected from the
street.
It does seem that every one
ought to be willing to aid in pro
tecting J,he rights of the streets
and protect them from all per
manent obstruction, and not so
far forget themselves or their re
gard for honor descend so low as
to want to appropriate any por
tion of them, permanently to
their own use.

Thomas Settle arrived and Black
burn yielded the platform to him.
Mr. Settle made an excellent
speech He has a fine reputation
as a speaker, and he fully sustain-

sion.
The nomination of Sanders is,
of course, a huge joke, as neither
himself nor his supporters can
entertain any hope of his election.
On the county ticket are some
citizens, who, in point of reputa
tion stand second to none in the
county, and when the vote is
counted on election day, there
may be some surprises.

There is real enjoyment in chewing
SCHNAPPS tobacco. That's why it
has wen millions of chewers every
year, until now more is sold than all
similar tobaccos.
SCHNAPPS, the most popular prod
uct of the Reynolds factories, is man
ufactured in the verv heart of the Pied
mont tobacco belt, Known to the world
as producing tobacco with an aroma '
so delightful and appetizing that it
introduced and popularized the chew
ing of tobacco.
Ciiw
is manufactured by the cleanest and most
healthful processes ever devised, under
the direction of men who have made the
chewing tobacco business a life study,
and who have managed the R. J. Rey
nolds Tobacco Company since 1875.
Only choice selections of thoroughly
cured leaf are used in SCHNAPPS, and
expert tests prove that this class of
tobacco requires and takes a smaller
amount of sweetening than any other
kind of tobacco grown and that it has
a wholesome, stimulating and satisfying
effect on chewers, besides being the
most economical.
There are a great many imitations
claiming to be " just as good " as
SCHNAPPS, but there is only one gen
aim SCHNAPPS. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and under the tag, speil
S c-h-n-a-p-p-s. There are more pounds
of SCHNAPPS chewed every, year than
the total amount of all similar kinds.
Internal revenue statistics show that
SCHNAPPS and others of the Rey
nolds brands won enough chewers in
one fiscal year to make a net gain of
sis and a quarter million pounds, or one
third of the entire increased consumption
in the United States on chewing and
smoking tobacco.
SCHNAPPS is made and sold every
where in 5c. cuts and 10 and 1 5c. plugs,.
