C Entered at Moravian Falls,- N. Second Class Mail Matter. v. as TO OUR READERS. Well, boys, young and old, one all, we want to ask you to read this number of the Yellow Jacket, and over rom a toizara, ana tnen asjc yourselves it you don't think such a paper, every two weeks, is worth 25 cents a year to every republican from Maine to Mexico who loves the teachings of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and McKinley and who believes in calling a spade a spade at all times. If you think it is worth the price as! ced, then we would be very grateful to you if ypu 'will take this paper with you when you go to-the store, shop, or nill and show it to all your republ: can riends who "do not take it. " . If. you are a republican of the true faith .we k: low you can't object to doing . this muc 1 in the interest of a paper that has 1 een faithfully battling for your rights f; om the time it was founded, in, those dark davs of tovertv. rags and free ? sourJ in 1895. ' You can domore for republi ism and the interest of the Yellow Jacket by showing the paper to all ypur friends than we can do by sending but a million sample ; copies promiscuously. It sometimes happens that you will find men professing to be republicans who take nothing but democratic papers. Such men are on the broad road to political ruin. Don't let them go this way if you can help it. ! Put jthe Y. J. in their hands. It will help them J to see things as they are. You know the average democrat would see us almost at the devil before he wo lid take our papers to the exclusion of-d mi ocratic sheets. . ' ; - The fact that the election is past and that the republican party has won a signal victory over democracy is J no reason why you should not want to iierJS encourage the circulation of the Yellow Jacket. We will' want to win again, and the best time to prepare for, war; is in time of peace. Of course the ' demo crats are about dead for the present put they havn't found it out yet, ;so" they will continue to kick up a great deal of sand during the next few ' years. Especially will the mud guns of :he democratic press be very aggressive jin their efforts to malign the policies of our President. Already they are at work. The Y. Jr will pay its respect .to these and all other fakes, frauds and humbugs in its own peculiar style. t We have adopted this bi-weekly fc rm of the Y. J. in order to srive us time in which to thoroughly prepare each articl for mint and "with a view of matin his bi-we ekly the ideal of republican papers in the Southland. ." M . We hope that every reader; of ; this article may feel interest enough in jtha cause of republicanism to comply the above suggestion, by devoting a few spare moments in introducing the Y j J. to your republican friends ; who never saw the paper. Let us not neglect pur party papers now that a great victory has been won. Truly and indeed all seems well to-day, but remember J we must keep our signal lights a-burning, and look ahead for the political dangers "that 1rlr in fnrcretftilness and careless- ness.

Of course, the more subscribers we have the 7 cheaper we can afford to make the paper. Now if you like the tone and temperature of the Yellow Jacket, we ask you to help it along by taking advantage of this low price. And don't be selfish about the Yellow Jacket, either. Get all your neighbors who will to join in with you and make a' good big club. Remember you vill get more red-hot republi can reading for 25 cents than you ever did before. Don't send stamps.

Now that the Populists have disapp ear edN from Congress the inquiry is raised as to where the democrats are going to go for an ally and principles. Come to think about it, there are the Fills and the Chinese. President Roosevelt may yet regret his hearty, wholesale espousal of Presi dent McKinfey's policy, as. it appears now that everybody that wants an office claims to have been head over heels for that policy all the while. - The white counties in Alabama voted against the new constitution, but in the negro counties- the returns make it appear that the. negroes voted to dis franchise themselves.

Bat it does seem to us if we had made such a fizzle at forecasting the coming evils as Billy has done we would not worry much over the things that might come to pass. e again call attention to the fact we can't cive anv commission to that subscribers for the Yellow Jacket at our special otter oi 25Ct tor one year. we must have 25 cents for each yearly sub. or "we can't live at the business. Surely you don't want us to work hard, sleep on he floor, eat dirt and go naked. PS The latest abvice from the Commoner is for its followers to organize debating socities, non-partizan in membership and educational in purpose, in which the re publicans are to be lured and then con verted. Does Billy take the people of this country to be blooming idiots or what? If he thinks the people are anx ious to hear Bryanism preached he is miserably in the dark. 'tta nartitTiorevil o TVfo.'

Every issue of the Yellow Jacket will be chock full of republican gospel red hot from the gun. See that every re publican in your neighborhood gets it under the new 25ct offer. It's a vote maker.

Some are wondering what the split in the democratic party in Alabama will result An. From present indications' it looks as if one wing would come over to the republican party and the other go to the devil. As postmasters have special opportu nities to obtainsubscrition3 to the Yel low Jacket, we appeal to them to do their utmost to help us increase its cir culation. Get a big club of the names of your neighbors and send them in be fore our 25 cent offer expires. You tickle our back and we will tickle your back.

The Chicago Chronicle remarks that it appears to be forgotten that Grover Cleveland invited Fred Douglas to be his guest at the White house. Yes, and it appears that the democrats have for gotten that Negroes were in evidence at the Bryan Dollar Dinner in New York two years ago, and that one big hurley negro got up on the dinner table and hollowed, "Horrah for William Jen nings Bryan, our next President" In fact it appears, that the democrats have an excellent capacity for forgetting things that they should remember. A good sized "dead nigger" has been foundin the democratic woodpile in Missouri. A recent investigation dis closes the fact that the state adminis tration has been dealing with a New York concern to the amount of $2.qSq,- 328.0S and no account of the transaction is found on 'the state books- As Col. Bryan always has something to say a- bout - Missouri democracy it is in order now for him to turn his horn to that state and blow a blast of soit soap over this beautiful piece of democratic jugglery. The Commoner says in OklaiEean- sylvaniaand New Jersey where the con ventions failed to reaffirm the Kansas City platform, the republicans won. In Massachusetts, Iowa and Nebraska, where the conventions did reaffirm the Kansas City platform, the republicans also won. Billy ""has so far failed to find any comfort in .the result of the elections. He has been laboring hard to prove that the way to win was to stick to the follies of the Kansas City platform. But now he confesseslthat his party is "damned when it does and damned wnen it don't." A Dakota editor worked his type writer overtime and produced the fol lowing dirge, which hits 'most of us hard worked and poorlv naid rencil pushers below the belt. He sings thusly: "The melancholy davs are here, the sad dest of pur time; the chilly blasts begin to blow from far off northern clime. The wood saw sings, the coal bin groans, the tree doth moan and sorrow; the sun shines bright and though warm to-day might snow like tomorrow. We gladly think of times to come, when we can swiftly soar, though mince pie skies and nightmare drives, and stom ach aches galore. Subscribers who are one year back should to the sanctum stroll, and soften these times which sorely try the editorial soul." The last seen of the poor, dear man after the ap perance of this prose poem he was be- ing camea to tne nospitai on a snutter. It is generally understood that North Carolina is being run by the "White Man's Partv.V the nartv of rmreVovem- ment, wisdom, honor and decency in other words it is known that the demo crats have got the offices.
