The democrats propose to run North Carolina affairs just as they ran the nation's by selling, bonds. Grover is getting more prudent in his older days. He recently refused to serve as Santa Claus at a church Christmas party. There is said to a bright outlook for 1903. How could it look any other way with everything in the hands of the republican party? The democratic idea of an honest election law is one that I will enable that party to count itself in perpetu ally. Shame, on you, boys. The republican party can be relied upon for effective anti-trust legisla tion, but it refuses to enact a buncomb measure merely for political effect. The doctors have discovered that laziness is a disease, according to some of the scientific papers. Yes, and it can be cured by the oil of birch. Why do'esn't some one send Mr. Watterson a bottle of the editorial stimulant that used to inspire him, or nas tffe famed Kentucky article lost its strength.? The question was asked the other day, "what is a drunk?"! We would say that a drunk is a case of where the subjective mind gets control of the objective mind. No one can tell what is in store for us. There is Croker, the exscard boss, spoils politician and debaucher of votes settled down to I the semi-re spectable life of an English squire. In advising the Utah legislature not to send an "apostle" to the Senate the President was merely following a pre cedent set by President Cleveland and reiterating the advice of President McKinley. If you desire to march with the party of prosperity throw away that in rooster in your hat, get out of the democratic party and walk over into rpnnblican class. You won't feel so mean then. President Roosevelt has espoused he interests of the people as opposed o the interests of corporate wealth. It remains to be seen if the people will stand by him or will bow down o the golden calf. A subscriber asks us ; to state in as brief a way as possible why the repub- inan nartv can win victories so easi- v. The whole itory is told in seven words 'The republican party carries out its promises. " Ask us something harder. fiA hrutal assassination of the edi- afc AV w tor of the Columbia, S.

Club Rates. . We will send the Yellow Jacket in clubs of four or mere at a time at 25 cents a year. We can't give free copies for C'ubs at this rate. I Wish we could. We kindly ask every reader of this copy to take a spin out among your friends and talk and work the Yellow Jacket up a little. Read our personal chat on second page and let us hear from you with a club a dozen strong Now while the band plays 'Republi canism" let every mother's son of you eet a hump on that would .make t camel look like a clothes line. We thank the boys for the interest they are taking in securing subscrip tions to this paper since our announce ment that we intend to put in new and improved machinery by the first of March. Since the 1st day of Tan. 100 we have received 2,472 subscriptions. There are said to be 500,000 unem ployed persons in ljonaon. 11 you would like to see a similar state of things in this country all you need to do is to give your moral and material support to the 'movement ,f or revising the tariff by the democratic party. A Michigan woman who has had a husband in the state penitentiary for five years is evidently getting lonely. She wrote to the governor as follows: "Pleez, your magesty let him cum home, if fur no other reason than to see his three children which has been born since he left. " Whenever you hear one of these lit tle squirrel-tailed democratic roost- ers vamping about tne auty 1 A that the Dingly bill put on anthractic coal just remind him of the fact that when the democrats had control of all departments of the! government they put a duty of 40 cents a ton on coal. The second issue of the Yellow Jacket in February j will be called the "George Washington edition" and if nothing don't bust or a box don't get hot in the preparation department it will be the uncommon hottest Yel low Jacket ever yet issued. It will be read by a quarter of a million people. It is true that corporations have no souls to be damned, but unless the stockholders of the Standard Oil Co. are hell-fire proof the prospects are good for them to be ( given a genteel roasting down yonder for popping oil up five cents a gallon for no other reason than the desire to increase their enormous profits. We are indeed sorry that we have no Democratic Prayer in this issue oi the Yellow. Jacket for the editor of the Carlinviile, 111. , Democrat to run in as original matter. It is so handy, you know, for editors who are too lazy to think up their own '.'prayers' to just drop 30 cents in the Yellow Jacket slot and pray (prey) with a pair of scissors. A Raleigh, N. C, paper wants to see provisions made for a . reformatory for youthful criminals. - That's all well enough, but the thing we need most is something adequate to manage the "adult criminals" who are setting such a bad example before the youths. When men steal, and are "hot asham ed of it" how cans they expect the youths not to follow in their footsteps? A few months ago the democratic papers were printing-a statement to the effect that flussell Sage was , of the opinion that we were nearing a general business panic. The thing has turned again. Sage says there is every indication that .1903 will be a prosperous year, and adds: "All this talk about impending panics and reactions is bosh. ' ' He should have said "Democratic bosh." 7-It has .been said that, the devil is not as black as he is painted nor are all ansrles as white as they are rep- resented and there is a good deal oi truth in the statement. - We , all have engaged in cussing out J. P. ty, perhaps, for, the reason that we are not his employees. Each employee nf Mr. Morcran refifilved from him n.a n. " o T '. New Year's gift a bonus equal 10 a year's salary. -. An Ohio judge ruled that a husband has a right to keep his mother-in-law away from his house, if he believes that she is Causing trouble, and use force if necessary P The fact that in this particular case the wife owned the residence, the court held, did not ef- feet tne husband's prerogative of rul- mg jus own nousenoia. mis manes it begin to look as if the mother-in-law was doomed to evaporation. Those democrats down in Indianola, Mississippi, lack a whole thundering lot of being consistent, to say the least of them. They permit their town and state to bear names which have no refference to the Caucasian race but they can't endure a post master with a little aboriginal blood I A 1 n 1 At witnoui raising naaes ana putting: a chunk under it. Why don't they mob Mississippi and Indianola and be done with it? : ne govenor 01 jn . u. nas recom- mended the issuing of half a million dollars in bonds to meet the dificit in the State treasury. This is so much like the way that Grover ran the af fairs of the nation that we don't see why governor AycJock should not be the democratic candidate for Vice-Presi dent next year. There is so close an in- a ? a T . n n t umancy Deiween democracy ana Donas xne omce is convenient to all con that it is impossible to name the one nections. Horses to hire, 25 cents a without thinking of the other. Building roads and bridges may be postponed which only inconveniences tempoary matersal loss as a result; but to postpone the building of gdod schools brings eternal loss in knowl- edg, intelligence, culture and thehigh- est interests of life to the boys and girls fast growing through the educa- ble years of childhood and youth to manhood and womanhood. A people may sometimes be justified in postpon- ingr the one, neyer in postponing the other. A girl in Indiana played post office at a party the other night and yelled and'shrieked and howled and ran be hind the door and scratched the young man's face in seven places, upset a lamp, kicked over the piano stool and when he finally kissed her on the tip of the ear she fainted dead and said she could never look anv body in the face again. They led the bashful, modest, gentle, sobbing creature home aud the next day she ran away : with a married liarhtninar-rod peddler who had a hair lip and ten children. "All that the republican congress is doing to the trusts consists of talk, talk, talk, and it will all end in talk," remarks the TJrbana, Ohio, Democrat. Conceding for argument's sake thatis all that they will do, Mr. Democrat, that is a whole lot better than spend ing their time passinglaws that would result in turning loose in this country an army of men hunting Work and none to be found. Y(e will choose talk on the part of our congressmen and plenty of work for all who want" it every time in place oi Joxey armies and free soup. Let 'em talk. The Pilot, of West Bend, Wisconsin, rather sarcastically remarks "that the sacred tariff schedules will not be touched at this session of congress. " Whoever wanted them touched except the democrats and a few broken legg- ed sore-backed republicans? Of course th'e tarifl is not going to be meddled with and you needn't be worrying a- bout .it. , If the republicans keep-their I senses they will never meddle with the tariff while it is giving as general sat isfaction as it i3 now doing. We can't understand why the democratic press should suppose that a repu blican con gress is coiner to adopt methods that cj o were proven by the democratic party to be ruinous to the industrial inter- ests of this country. Carrie Nation is not the only freak ..l.ii i- in Kansas. There is a paper puniisu- ed at Long Island in that state ana Known as the Leader which for una dulterated, downright, . gourd-headed J foolishness takes the cake. It lays the blame for the privation occasioned by ' I tVio nlnorno in t.ho Philinnim (;MM j w v jl. a-. tv 1 JJLl Lyr rialism.,, Hear it shoot off the bile of its liver a moment: ' 'The results of American imperialism are the same as that of the European brand. Starva tion is staring the people of the Phil ippines in the face. " The Leader knows that the United States is doing everything in its power to make the condition of the people in j the Philippines better; trying to intro duce education, suppress outlawry and stamp out those plagues that are play mg such havoc to man and beast. We have too much confidence in the inteili- genceof the people of Kansastolbelieve that the "Leader" is leading anybody to its way of talking. , . The following item clipped from the Detroit Free Press will no dout be re garded as news by our readers in Bloomington, Illinois: Following are the rules and regula tions posted in a hotel in Blooming ton, 111. Guests are requested not to speak to the dumbwaiter. ' Guests wishinsr to get up without being called can have self-raising flour for lunch. If the room gets too warm open the window and see the fire escape. Base ballets desiring a little prac tice will find a pitcher on the stand. Board, 50 cents per square foot; meals extra; breakfast at 6, supper at 7. . If the lights go out take a soda that is light enough for any man. I wm day. Guests wishing to do a little driv- ing will find hammer 'ahd nails in the closet. Don't worry about paying supported by bill, its The house is foundation. If you are fond of athletics and like good jumping lift the matress and see the bed springs. Not responsible for diamonds, bicy- clesv and other valuables kept on the counter. They should be kept under the safe. Plantation Philosophic BY DIKE DOOBBOTTOM. Sand in the gizzard, metaphorical ly speaking, denotes firmness, but when fouDd in sugar it denotes a thief of the thoroughbred persuasion. Truth goes by freight, falsehood by express and usually unloads at every stopping place. Better be on a firm foundation in poverty than to stand on the rickety pinnacle of ill gotten wealth; to climb will tire, but to fall will hurt. Fair promises make an excellent political currency, butunlessbacked by performaDces to keep them at par they will sooner or later depreciate like the democratic currencydid in the sixties Don't you forget it. It is not every flower that is filled with honey; some pinks furnish an ex- cellent hiding place for a spider. The hat least admired by freemen is the one that is all crown. When you look at yourself through the telescope be sure and invert it; the toad tried to equal the ox but she busted. . To burn both ends of your social candle at once decieves your friends and provokes your enemies. The little sharp shares generally get sheared by the bier sharp sheares. WhenUt comes to sharing shares in a thievish corporation a water dog can swallow a man every time. As long as the crimson records of barbarism are accepted as the prophet- ic guides for the future, the doctrine -St' iiiS A ftarnare are the steppinar stones to peace and honor. A losing speculation is buying nine lottery tickets wnere there is nine blanks to one prize. Tne politician who makes nine promises to one per formance is pursuing the same busi ness and he will not be hard to find in Southern Democracy. The candle of Napolean's fame fir3t shined in civil conflict, burned in a cyclone of conquest andl went out ip the confines of a prison. Washington budded in usefulness, bloomed in adversity, ripened in peace ana nappmess and retired clothed in the mantle of righteousness loved and esteemed by the people. 1 -Wdc center oi taavDauu
