'readers of the Yellow Jacket, one and all. .;' Suppose;we take time this, morning fpr a little business talk. It does a iellow goodl once in a while; to get out of his old gr,oov3 long enough to take a f resh breath and s ie what he -feels like. We've been at this business of salting and peppering Democrats ior ; about twelve years. It's-been roast" i)enocrat for break fast, boiled' Democrat for dinner and Demo cratic hash for supper: until :we have gotten quite used to the bill .of fare, but just now we desire to talk about? some , matters -other than politics. - ; V : ; i: r We have worked ';atj this has assumed the features of .We are in it to stay. fThe experimental stage business until it a lite, profession. and we have no oh with ; the .Yel-S has long since been passed other plans than to go right low Jacket for a lie-time job. How. to make the Yellow Jacket a better paper and a great er success than it has ever been is our great est ambition. To do this several things are necessary. And one of thd mostl important steps towards this end is a safe and substan tial house for the Yellow Jacket a , nest, if you please a building in which "the danger from fire will be reduced to! a minimum. . At present we are housed fin a rwooden building, heated by stoves, and it has been spliced onto as our business expanded until it is neither safe nor convenient. Jammed into this house we have a printing plant that cost something like twenty thousand dollars, or;; in other words, the profits on about two, hundred thou sand subscriptions. "... Think of a paper plant of ; this magnitude, vwith "all its .files, books,1 records, etc., embrac ing -the work of the. best years of a man's life, being stored in a veritable Ifire trap. What reader of the fellow Jacket ' could blame us for making an effort to I provide a safer build- ing: uiien nave we arawn ine curtain 01 our bed-room window at" the dead hours of night and looked towards the Yellow Jacket office a hundred and fifty yards away to see if there wereany signs of fire, i - - ; To construct a fireproof building, large enough- to accommodate on r business, will cost us3 not less than; six to : seven thousand dollars, and perhaps more han this. -That will require the profits 01. not less than seventy-five thousand subscriptions. Now the question arises, are there enough readers of the Yellow Jacket who I are interested in this sort, of a proposition to raise sufficient, clubs "to do the work'. But itj should be no trouble Suppose twenty-five, hundred I persons were to send clubs of ten subscribers each. That would do the trick, besides putting everyone sending these clubs, onl the It looks like that out of our sciibers there ought to be twenty-five hundred people to hustle up a club of; ten Permanent List. arge list of sub l at least twice who are willing subscribers each in order to get to be a subscriber for life and work was the w Jacket with a begging scheme. know that -.their few hours means of providing the iYellq substantial home. This is no Every one who gets up the club receives more than he gives. Now, we have extended dur Permanent List proposition so as to give every reader of the Yellow" Jacket ample time -to get up the clnb of ten, and we are i low ready to see how many will accept same, or if enough will . do so to make the new nest . a. certainty. We will keep you posted as i to how many are go ing on the Permanent List, y 011, boys. . - EDITORIAL NOTES ' Many' of the Democrats Tillman but -they are ashamed are ashamed of to admit it.

" A subscriber takes us to task, as he says; "for using such bad English.'- Look here, Subby, our English may not sound well to a . person who has had his auditory nerves addled by the unearthly yells of Democratic rattletraps or his sense of justice, scupffied by the ridiculous wanderings of the same party, but 'if he is a Republican with a big R, loves fair play and justice, he canX help but understand the meaning of the Yellow Jacket in every instance.'

Down here in North Carolina the. Democrats can beat that game a thousand miles. They can take a ballot box, a set of Democratic election judges and five or x six hundred Republican votes, and when the counting is over they will have a Democratic majority ranging anywhere from one-thousand to one thousand five hundred. When the negroes used tovyote, their votes were often counted-as Democratic votes and the number thus, counted; has often been known to. exceed the entire registered vot ing population. It beats seven, devils v.'hat counters these Democrats are. But we sup pose those Kentucky Democrats think it more honorable to buy votes than to steal thexa but, honestly, we don't see much difference. r , DEMOCRACY'S HOPE. The . recollection of the hard times . and -starvation that came upon the - people several years ago as the result of Democratic mis management is one of ithe. greatest obstacles that that party has to overcome. People naturally abhor starvation, and this keeps the Democrats outbf power. . But it seems that science is going to come to. the aid of Demo cracy by making it possible for people to enjoy the very best of table delicacies without procuring them in ... the Usual way. For in stance the more old greasy fags and over shoes can be had - the - greater , the variety of table luxuries may be produced. Here is what we. clipped from a magazine con- jrning this remarkable discovery. It's enough to - make the Democrats go Into spasms of rapture:. " : "The reader -may stare, but science smiles supreme and asserts very embhatically that- a toothsome delicacy can be made, from a dilapidated foot covering. Some time ago "a New York doctor regaled some friends not merely -with boot jelly, but with shirt cof fee, and" the jrepast. was pronounced by all partakers " excellent; The doctor tells us that ho made the jelly, by first cleaning the boot: and subsequently - boiling it with soda, undor a pressure of about two atmospheres. The tannic acid in the. leather, combined-with . salt made tannate of soda, and the gelatine rose to the top, whence it was removed and. dried. .. 'From this last, with suitable flavor ing material, the jefty was readily. concocted. The. shirt coffee, incidentally- mentioned above, -,was sweetened with cuff and collar sugar, both coffee and sugar being produced" in the sameway.: Tbe linen. (after, of course,, washing) was treated with nitric acid, which, acting on the lignite , contained in the fiher,. produced, glucose, or. grape sugar. This roast ed made an excellent imitation coffee, which, an addition " of unroasied glucose readilz get in power again. the - country. : - ;:- .t --..-7' .. 1
