a wagon load of acorns. It
would be a difficult matter to
starve a man in a country

berries in Summer and acorns
in Winter.
The anti-football cry is just
now claiming the attention Of
the public. Ex-champion Cor

proves, that of the two, foot
ball is more brutal than prizefighting.

The growth of the popular
belief that gold is to remain
the world's standard of value
is stimulatino- the search for
the yellow metal and resulting
in very tapid developments in

mous quantities of gold in the
next few years.
WERK WE RIGHT?
. -i-A orWfi the socialists
are to dc cucv .-
and anarchists. .'-wiien-ever
you (farmers) want comfort why
ust think of what wheat is bringing
Several readers of the Advance
have informed us they construed the
article in that paper ot Oct. 21st just
as we did, that Tt classed the silver
ites with the anarchist and socialist.
They also com n end us for not noticing--bis
editorial in last week's
issue. Since be insists we reproduce
hisfirst editorial which provoked the
reply, giving it in lull, leaving our
readers to judg2 whether or not we
told the truth-. - We call your espe
cial attention to the sentence which
contains the following clause : '-which
the advocates ot silver, socialism .and
anarchy have. been dinning into the
people by just such falsehoods for
years." We only said the Advance
classed the silverites with the social
ist and anarchist. Reader, we leave
it with you to say whether or not we
were right.
"The friends of the free coinage
proposition are never so happy as
when they are able to make other
people unhappy. That organ ot the
silver trust, the Philadelphia Arrieri
can, in a leading editorial in its issue
of October 9th gleefully announces
that wheat has fallen 14 cents a bush
el since September 1st, and proceeds
to argue that the advance in farm
products, stocks and everything else
was merely temporary. The fact is
that wheat on October 9th was just
4 and 5 8 cents per bushel lower
than ' it : was on" September 1st, the
fall being exaggerated just 300 per
cent, in the mad effort to keep up the
dissatisfaction which the advocates ot
silver, socialism, and anarchy have
been dinning into the people by just
such lalsenoods, tor years. The re
ports of the NevYork market show
; that No. 2 red wheat, which was
worth $1.03 on September 1st, was
worth 98 7-8 certs on October 9th."
The Wilson Advance. October
2 1 st, 1897.
- Since we have shown the editor of
the Advance his error, it will be a
graceful thing fo. him to admit it in
the next issue of his paper and con
fess that the two insinuative articles
he wrote were entirely uncalled for.
It never hurts a gentleman to confess

Wilson Times, Nov. 12.
The above article appearing
m me limes ot the 12th re
quires a careful perusal. As
the Times states it would te
the graceful thing to acknowl
edge our error, if they had
shown it. We however fai
to see wherein we have erred
when we claimed that the
limes was wrong in saying:
"According to the Advance the

portion, but don't allow yourseu
to think. It you ao, me
will hang you on the gibbet and say
to the world : -Behold an anarchist"
Times, Oct. 22.
We reoeat that the article
,mnn which the Times bases
its comment does not justify
the language they employ.
We quoted an editorial from a
Philadelphia paper, in which a
manifest misrepresentation of
"act appeared, and commenting
upon the same, we showed
wherein they had exaggera
ted and proceeded to say that,.
"the 'fair in wheat was exag
gerated just 300 per cent, in
the mad eiiort to keep up me
dissatisfaction which the advo
cates of silver, socialism, and
anarchy have been dinning
- . . 1
into the people, by just sucn
falsehoods, for years." It will
be noted that we mode three
distincts classes, vis : 1st, advo
cates of silver, 2nd, socialism
and 3rd, anarchy.
But this was . not all. 1 ne
Times, speaking of the far
mers, says: "but don't allow
yturself to think. If you do
the Advance will hang you on
the gibbet and say to the
world : Behold an anarchist' "
Have they any ground upon
which to make such a state
ment, when immediately fol
lowing the article that they
pretended to quote this edito
rial was printed.
STOP AND THINK.
Nothingpreads; pore rapidly than
bad news. Thecry of hard times
has been used by politicians as a
campaign fund, for year alter year,
until they have impressed the people
with a dread, not to be shaken off
by any ordinary force of circum-
. -
stances, Every auman being is more
or less dissatisfied with his present
condition, and it is an easy matter
for a smooth tongued politician to
make him believe that this or that
cause is responsible for his discomfort,
whereas, it would take only the aver
age amount of intelligence, properly
exerted, to satisfy any reasonable man
ot the fact that no one cause can
bring about any given effect.
To get out of the rut, our people
must, first of all, set up a little
THINK SHOP OF THEIR OWN. Listen
carefully to arguments, on all sides,
then go home and digest them, us
ing thesalt of common sense as fla
voring. Once form this habit and it
will be a hard matter for any speaker
to lead you far astray. Advance,
Oct. 2 1 st.
Does this sound like we
would condemn a man for
thinking ? Do we not advo
cate, Jiot only thought, but
careful painstaking medita
tion ? And again how about
those who differ with us? Is
there any evidence in our col
umns as to what we think of
them ? surely there is, read :
'We have never believed that the
free coinage o( silver would correct
the evils which now,, exist, but while
such is our opinion, we accord to
every individual the right, which we
claim for ou reel f, 'to think as he
pleases.' If we do not agree, why,
th6 only thing that remains is to wait
and see what the future has in store.
We are all but human, and 'to err is
human.' "Advance, Oct. 28.
On the whole, after careful
ly going over: the entire
ground, we fail to find any
reason for retracting anything
mat nas peen said.
Don't think your liver needs

It s your stomach. That is. vour
stomach is really what causes billious-

stomach.

NORTH CAROLINA.
Sampson Democrat.
Have the men who put their
shoulders to the wheels of reform and
rolled the fusionists into power con
templated the result? Perhaps not.
Their zeal for the faith that inspired
them and their feeling ol anger to
ward the mother party for the re
proof it gave them as wayward child
ren have stood in the wav of that.
Let these be laid aside, and what do
we see ? It is this : North Carolina
which has been . on a forward march
since its redemption from its enemies
in-' 1872 has about laced and gone
back in sight of the scenes of 1868,
as a return of the republican party to
power. It is the repetition ot history
The -white men who lent helping
hands in this matter did not toresee
the evil "esults that have followed the
success of fusion. They dreamed of
better things and strove with the in'
spiration of honest convictions, -in
most instances, to obtain it. They
were deceived by a desert mirage.
There is not a general disposition to
censure those who as plain citizens
contributed to this state of affairs be
cause no wrong was intended. But
hereafter the public judgment will be
different. Havintj seen the evil fruits
ol republican government as a result
of fusion there is no excuse for white
men who respect themselves and their
families and who prefer white to hlack
government, to again torm a cohnbi
nation with republicans to defeat their
own flesh and blood. It is not hard
to forgive mistakes of. judgment, but
when men persist in doing what they
have found by experience to be
wrong, then there h no place for for
giveness or room for charitable judg
ment.
Here is an article setting
forth in earnest, dignified lang-
age the objection to the pres
ent system of government. No
abuse, no vile epithets would
not the Democratic press do
well in following its lead.
