PARKER, When a steamboat ouuies uluDsiJe od tho Mississippi, each tries to pass the other. That is ud iovariuble rule of the d. No pilot likes to take the wash oil biokeo water of another boat, espe cially if the other boat is slower or more eavilj loaded. Why, when the pro- cession of steamboats escorted the 1'niled Stutea gunboat Nashville up the river ast spring, one of the steamboats showed the poor taste to lead the Nashville oo the way to the harbor. The engineer and the pilot of the Nashville, an old river pilot, bad the groatest kind of trouble keeping themselves out after her and pulling her down. They did show heir heels id first-clans shape to one river boat that tried to pass them down below Memphis. It is in the hu man blood and do amount of danger from overtaxed boilers, narrowness of channel, saud bars, shoals or snags will deter the last boat from showing its heels to the slower boat. I have seen passen gers in the olden time, when everybody knew a good deal about the liver and its dangers, come up to the captain of the boat they had taken passajo od aod say to him solicitiously : "Now, captain, I want you to assure me of one thing, that you are not going to raco. I ve got my wife and children on board aod I don't want to expose them to needless danger." "Of course we woo t race, Ihe oaptain would answer, and ho would mean it when he said it Io a little while along would come a slow, beavily loaded scow of i boat aod try to pass us. The cap tain would get busy and so would the pilot, the engineer and the firemen. And as the compeliog boat would shade down to a small speck on the rear horinn, the passenger who was so anxious to kcop his family out of needless danger would oonie up from below, wiping a pair of bruised and dirly bands and, infilling bis chest proudly, say the captain. "She never touched us." That passenger had been down on the boiler deck during the race, passing cord wood to the slorkers to put under ihe boilers.

I was wriiiug home, telling the folks what a good time we're having. the platform adopted, in favor of a primary eleclion on November Gib, 1900, to decide your preference for Senator of the United States, for the term beginning March 4ih, 1901. I favored this am ion then and I heartily endorse it now. The primary will be held; our party is not afraid to trust the wisdom of the people. All the supporter! of our cause io the August election are invited to participate io the primary. For many years the oonvici ion has oume home to many of the best think ers of our country, that the election of United Stales Senators should be oomuitted directly to the people the source of all political power. In the absence of the necessary and needed conslituiional change the pi injury affords the nearest possible approach to an election of Senators by the vote of the people. I hereby announce myself a candidate f.ir lloitcd Slates Senator and ask your support in the primary. My record as a citiuo and Democrat is fairly well kuown to many of you. I ask for it no greater consideration than is justly accorded the records ot those able aod honorable nenileuion whose names have been mentioned for this high position. In this contest I shall not attempt in any way to detract from the merits of any competitor. We are all Deuocraty; we ,are all members of the tame great political household; we have fought side by side its great battler; e have by united effort and undivided strength achieved its great triumphs. In the reoent eleotton the great uprising of Anglo Saxon munhood, we achieved . r. A . :.L r L ; . . a noiaoie victory, iraugui wiin lur-ruaciuug ana important ooDsequcooce; imposing upon you the entire responsibility and burden of State government, and as a par' f this imperative duty of providiog adequate educational facilities for the boys aod girls of our State. You will meet these greater responsibilities bravely and fearless ly, and discbarge their duties patiently and wisely. We are no looger, as in the past, to be kept busy with the ores of preserving our homes safe, but will reach out to participate more freely in the policies of the nation. W'e shall now sttive on ihe higher plane of effort and statesmanship. My political principles are those of the Democratic party; they 6nd excellent thorough expression lo the National and state platform-; need not summarize their declarations. To each of them and to both of them I yield most ready and un swerving support. 1 hey are the voice ol my party speaking in Hi appointed chau" Bels. I obey that voice; aod if your chuics shall fall on me I shall in every wuy eudeavor to have those declaraiious become tho la of the laid by appruptiale statutes. The indusliial and educational pniL'r s-of North Carolina will command my earnest attention and i 'aluus nervice-i. In lare auricullural interests will receive my watchful care and I will ever strive to I'isler and protect the same from hontile legislation I have endeavored, as best I could, to aid in tho agricultural, iudustiia' and educatioual development and advauceiueut of our State. I have endeavored to aid the public and private schools as far as I could. I believe, with confidence, 1 can accomplish more in these directions iu the enlarged Geld of hUh official posi tion, and aided by my experience anl kn iwlcde attract greater attentioo to the re sources and opportunities offered by our State. The general upbuilding of our Communweallh will command at all times my earnest and loyal endeavor. I shall strive to protect our people from the dangers aod disasters of Force Bills and pre serve from Federal interference our new Constilutional Amendment, the submi-sii.n and adoption of which by such an overwhelming maj irity adds new glory 'Old North Slate." IT AT LAST. HE WAITED TOO LONG. MAKE til'RE THAT TOU DO NOT ETERNAL LIFE AT LAST. In one of the tenement houses in New York City a doctor was sent for. He came, and found a young man very sick. When he got to the bedside tho young man said : "Doctor, I don't want you to deceive me; I want to know the wont. Is this illness to prove serious?" Alter tho doctor had made an exami nation, ho said, "I am sorry to tell you you cannot live out the night." The young man lookid up and said. "Well, then, I have missed it at laut 1" "Missed what ?" "I have missed eternal life. I always intended to become a Christian iomeday, but I thought I had plenty of time, and put it off." The doctor, who was himself a Chris tian man, said ! "It is not loo late. Call on (Jod for mercy." "No, I have always had a great con tempt for a man who rep'nts when he is dying; he is i miserable ooward. If I were not sick I would not have a thought about my soul, and I am not goiog to in sult God now." The doctor spent the day with him, read to him out of the Bible, and tried to get htm to lay bold of Ihe promises. The young man said he would not csll on God, and in that Kate of mind he passed away. Just as he was dying the doctor saw his lips moving. He reached down, and all he could hear was the faint whisper: "I have missed it at laid" Dear friend, make sure that you do not miss eternal life it last. D. L. Moody. I'OIMT.l) PARAGRAPHS. THE OLD SWEET STORY. BY F. L. STANTON. I What of the story olden Of love that may not cease? Pass we through portals golden To dream of realms of peace ? Over the way so lonely We fare from lands like this, But ever we feel only iove's clasp, dear, and its kiss. II What of the storms above mo In all the shrouded skies? Mim e you have said you love rue The lovelier light urisa 1 What of all earthly splendor What of all earthly tiea If that your lips are tender I pou life'adyiugeyea? III. Sweetheart I through vales of sorrow I ever dream I see A beautiful tomorrow Dawn from your eyes to m I No dieam is so swtet aa this is Though dreams have fleeting breath To know I'll feel your kisses Down to the gates of Death ! A liuen duster is a popular summer re sort. Ungrammatically spcakiug, a kiss is a conjunction. Half a parasol is better than no um brella in a shower. The lick of a watch is inside, and lhat of a bed is outnide. A man can walk a mile without uiov ing more than a oouple of feet. The punch bowl has been the direct oiuse of many an unfriendly punch. Money uses its wings occasionally to take a flyer in the stock markets. No wonder a young man looks all thc broke up when his best girl throws him down. NERVOUSNESS, An American Disease. Dr. S.

And 'oeath a drooping willow bough Knelt down with ma in prayer. Ami next I seemed to view her, Kent o'er my little lied: With tiny bands I drew her Still nearer, while she said: "0, now I lay me down to sleep," And taught me to recite, "I pray the Ixiril my soul to keep;" And kissed me a "good night." I cherished that sweet vision, But waking honrs, as well, Bring back those days elysinn, That memory may tell How oft she aonght that sacred place, Her cloaet, bowed her there, Embraced me with a fond embrace, For me sent np a prayer. And well do I remember When last we fondly met, I Though age had stolen o'er her, And her pale cheek was wet With tears that grief had taught to flow , Her heart oppressed with care How heavenly on her brow the (low As she knelt down in prayer.
