Like most things that the re publicans promise, is their plank in their St ite platform for local self-government. A hoary old piece of furniture that did service when this party was contending for the negro to hold office. Endorsing Mr. Taft and this tariff is but another evidence that the rads of N. C. care naught foi their state. The only decent plank in their platform is for free school books for the public schools. A good plank; one that the Southerner has urged and now takes off its tile in recognition of the remiplicaus having done something decent. It is a pleas ure to be able to note something good in a party that having always done wrong and has given renewede-vidence that is still on the down grade by becoming again cieek by jove with such a dirty dog aud thick hide jackel as Marion Butler. ' ENGLISH SPARROWS. For a long time there have been threats against the English spar row and time and again a crusade of extermination has been advo cated, but the pugnacious bii d has continued to thrive aud perpetu ate its relentless war upon the song birds of the country. An exchange says: "Ever since an English rail road conductor brought the first pair to this country, a couple of generations ago, on account of thoir inspectivorous propeDsties, they have been steadily making - enemies. From the tip of their impudent beak to the toss of their insolent tail they have assumed an attitude of defiance. For them the highway was a dust-bath and the gutter their natatorium They have multiplied and in creasea untu they have overrun the continent. Perhaps they may have had, originally, a certain loudness ior insect, Dut a record goes to snow mat in lecent years they have spent their time in chasing away the song birds, an till now the robin and the bluebird are, in certain section, practically extinct. "li tne iiingi sn sparrow goes he can at least have the satisfac tion of knowing that nothir.g short of an organized movement was necessary for his extermination John Davy, of Kent, Ohio, has taken the initiative in such a movrment. He is a lover of birds and therefore hdtes the Eng Jish sparrow. That is to say, he "Wants to procect the song bird, and therefore has called u, on the world at large to join in the cruRade against the street gamin of oritholo,'y. The details of his plans hava not been givei. out. Perhaps Pittsburg has furnished thatsdution. The English spar row w being served up as a "rice bird," and found to be very delicate. As soon as a com me r cial value is placed upon his head the English sparrow -will know that his eud is near." THE EXPENSE OF A WIFE. A wife is a decided addition to the demands upon one's purse. In that sense, however sensible and managing she may be, she is expensive. But everything worth having has its price of one sort or another, and there are some things which c st much without which life is hardly worth living. Said Thiers: ' Most men con templete making so:ue self denial when they marry, i hey think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures. Later on, when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to in dulge, they complain that it is extravagance of their wives which causes the .inconvenience." Which wise saying is applicable to men in other countries besides that of American. France. New York Staggers Skeptics.

After a 15-year trail of a ssyetem whiioh. practically consist of betting Mgth enough and long enough, Huntly Walker, an Englishman, has left Monte Carlo $90,000 the richer. He won, $30,000 one day, and oext day in a IMtie over two hours won $60,000 more, which necessitated the table at which he wahpteying suspending oper attions for a fewminurOes while further funds were obtained. Thds te teohai cally called "breaking the bank," and recalls be feat of "Monte Carlo Wells thefirst man to break the bank at ahe famous gambling resort, who a few years ago won $200,000 from ht Casino, says Tid-BMe. Wells played by a system, and aten ward explained bow, starting with certain capuai, ne Dot on runs" or "series" staking $100 or $2.400 the muMmum or maximum beta. Five years agoan imanenaely wealthy American,, Col. Powers, the owner ol mines In Mexico, won $350,000 at 6b Casino. His first day's play, wbict las'ed less Chan an hour, brought bdm in $13,800, and each succeeding da was suae story. Crowds dogged his footsteps whenever he entered the Casino, some of the habitues rubbing his shoulder or surreptitiously touch ing tihe hem of his coat for luck whil the more rational followed bis pja The colonel did not plunge, but con tiauad to Sakethe maximum of $2,400 each time. One ofthe most remarkable incident which ever happened at Monte Carlo was when a Mr. Jagger won, $400,000 He kept a close watch over the route- wheels at the various Cables, end die coered that each one had some smai: defeat which remitted in one numbe winning more frequently P anv oher. These numbers he backed, win nlng $600,000. The bank, however 4k coveredhos secret and had new wheel.' made, and Mr. Jagger was los rapidly when he wisely desisted and reti rned home with $400,000. One of the distinctions enjoyed by the late Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, the uncle of the Caar, who dead in No vember lasst, was that of being amon -he men. who had broken the bank at Moatfe Carlo. He won something Ukc 5300,000 in a couple of days. m spite of Uue huge sums which have been won, the bank holds Its own against ah systems, plungers and perenveer gamblers, and a witty pro verb invented in the days of M Blaae, tne founder of the Casino, true ly says: "The black often loses, sod red often loses, but white (Blanc) al ways wins." His winnings range from $0,000,000 to $7,500,000 everyf year. $100 Reward, $100. ine readers of this paper will be pleas3d to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has iean able to cure in all its stages and that Is Catarrh.
