of March 3rd 1879.
"The politest way to treat a
newly married pair," says Har
per's Weekly, "is to abandon
them to their fate. "It has been
a very pretty romance the court
ship and marriage of a Pres
ident's daughter by a rich and
clever young congressman. The
wedding is over now, and the
"lived happily-ever-after" chap
ter will not require so much space
in the newspapers.
Personal jealousies, misunder
standings and antipathies must
be expected to play their part in
political affairs so long as human
nature continues to be the curi
ous complex that it is. That
rival political leaders, even of the
same party household, should
entertain and express serious
doubts of each others sincerity
and disinterestedness is no new
thing under the sun. And have
you ever noticed that each one
of these rivals appears to take
himself quite seriously, and to be
fairly sincere in his belief that
the other fellow is all sorts of
a hypocrite and demagogue?
The old requirement of kissing
the Bible to qualify a witness to
give evidence in court is a relic
of superstition which should be
relegated to the realms of the
"has beens." Every one who
gives evidence in court should
fully understand the solemnity
of an oath. But the man who
will testify falsely after having
raised his right hand and called
God to witness the evidence he
should give, would also swear
falsely with the taste of the
Bible still fresh on his lips. It
is a filthy practice to require wit
nesses to kiss old Bibles which
are found in the court rooms and
which have been kissed by nig
gers and all kinds of white peo
ple for ages. The laws of health
demand a change and when the
people consider the matter, they
will demand a change. Change
for the sake of cleanliness if for
nothing- more.
Aside from the services ren
dered every day by Theodore
Roosevelt as president, he has
rendered another distinguished
service to the general public in
taking steps to prevent the great
coal strike which was scheduled
for April 1st. The President has
written John Mitchell, president
of the United Mine Workers of
America and urges him to take
steps to bring about a settlement
of the wage scale. In the course
of this letter the President says:
"A strike such as is threatened
on April 1 is a menace to the
peace and general welfare of the
country. I urge you to make a
further effort to avoid such a
calamity.
"You and Mr. Robbins are
joint chairmen of the trade
agreement committee of the Na
tional Civic Federation, and it
seems to me that this imposes
additional duty upon you both
and gives an additional reason
why each of you should join in
making a further effort."
In these great strikes the con
test is waged between combined
capital on one side and organized
labor on the other, and the great
est sufferer is the unprotected
public. If the President succeeds
in preventing this great strike
the public will be under renewed
obligations to him.

PRESIDENT VENABLE ON THE
STATE'S SYSTEM OF EDUCA
TION. In his report to the trustees of
the University, Dr. Francis P.
Venable, President of that insti
tution, makes the following state
ment in regard to Prof. N. W.
Walker, and his work. Prof.
Walker was superintendent of
the Ashboro Graded School for
two years.
"Professor N. W. Walker has
taken up the duties of the chair
of Secondary Education to which
j your body elected him at the last
j meeting. So far his work has
consisted mainly in visiting the
public high schools of the State,
studying their conditions, possi
bilities of development, courses
of study, etc. In the spring
term he will deliver a series of
lectures on this branch of school
work. I am convinced that the
University has taken few steps
in recent years which promise so
much for the development, of
the State's system of education.
The demand for public high
schools is an imperative one.
The need has been only partially
supplied by adding high school
courses to the ordinary primary
schools. The failure to have
these schools is the great fault
of our system today, and not
until they are provided can we
hope for a proper supply of good
teachers for the primary schools.
I believe that Professor Walker
will be able to do a great deal in
the building up of these schools
over the State."
Doctors Are Puzzled.
The remarkable recovery of
Kenneth Mclver, of Vanceboro,
Me., is the subject of much in
terest to the medical fraternity
and a wide circle of friends.
He says of his case: "Owing to
severe inflammation of the Throat

three doctors gave me up to die,
when, as a last resort, I was in
duced to try Dr. King's New

say, it saved my life. "Cures the

The furniture manufacturers

ARGUMENT-NOT ABUSE.
The volume of abuse now be
ing hurled at the Republican
party by a certain element of
the Democratic press almost
tempts us at times to reply in
kind, but calmer thought has so
far prevailed and will continue to
prevail. And we wish to say
now that we positively refuse to
engage in a mud slinging contest
with anyone.
That there are certain men in
the Republican party who de
serve condemnation for their
course of conduct is undoubted
ly true. It is true of any party,
and probably always will be.
But without going into hyster
ics or answering abuse by say
ing "you're another" we ask for
the calm and dispassionate judg
ment of the people upon the
question. The Republican party
in North Carolina is not afraid of
the greatest publicity. It is will
ing to stand fairly and squarely
upon the principles which it rep
resents and to ask for popular
support upon those principles.
Passion and prejudice have never
been its weapons of either de
fensive or offensive warfare. It
believes rather that men should
act in affairs political with the
same honesty of purpose and
clearness of vision that control
their actions in private life.
It is perhaps needless for us
to refer to the matter, but we do
so lest silence should be constru
cted into acquiescence or fear
neither of which has influenced
or will influence our course. We
shall continue as we have begun
to fight the battle of Republican
frankly and fearlessly, but gen
eral abuse and bitter denuncia
tion we will leave to those whose
natural propensities lead them in
that direction and who believe
that their cause demands that
kind of warfare. Industrial

A dispatch from Norfolk Va.,
under recent date, says that quite
a number of Portsmouth, Va.,
citizens, including several wo

Postoffice Inspector Bulla and
required to pay $10 apiece as a
penalty for sending first class
matter through the mail at sec
ond class charges. The govern
ment has several clerks at Winston-Salem,
N. C. whose duty it
is to examine the packages of
tobacco coupons that arrive there
through the mails from all parts
of the country. These coupons
are collected, for which the to
bacco campanies offer presents.
A large number of Portsmouth
people have been forwarding
these coupons, and those who un
fortunately enclosed a letter in
the same package and mailing
them as second class matter have
been detected by the clerks at
Winston-Salem and their names
and addresses promptly sent to
the Postoffice Department at
Washington, and in turn for
ward to Inspector Bulla. Union

will be as many candidates as can
be scared up in the eighth or the

DENOMINATIONAL STRENGTH.
C F. SHERRILL.
The following denominational
statistics for the United States
have been carefully compiled by
H. K. Carroll, who was in charge
of the government census of
churches in 1890, and are there
fore reliable:
Methodist 6,429,815
Baptist 4,974,047
Luthern ' 1,841,346
Presbyterian 1,723,871
Episcopal 827,127
Reformed 405,022
Lattea Day Saints 344,247
United Brcthern 274,012 -Evangelical
Bodies 166,978
Jewish 143,000
Friends 120,415
Dunkards 116,311
Adventists 95,437
Mennonites 61,048
From this list it will be seen
that Methodist is the largest
Protestant denomination in the
United States. The Baptist
comes next, and we have 1,455,
768 more members than they
have. This is nearly as many as
the Presbyterians, and it is twice
as many as the- Episcopalians
have. Leaving out the Baptist.
than whom we have nearly a
million and a naif more members,
there are 311,001 more Metho
dists than the next twelve lead
ing denominations combined.
The following were the gains
last year:
Methodist 102,002
Baptist 72,667
Presbyterian 26,174
Episcopal 19,200
And our church is one of the
youngest. It is 145 years young
re than the Baptist; 136 years
younger than than the Con
gregationalism 81 yeare younger
than the Presbyterian. Chris

Couldn't Milk the Bicycle.
Some years ago soon after bi
cycles began to be freely used
throughout the United States, an
agent for a New York house
turned up at a village in Central
New York. He expatiated to an
old farmer upon the virtues of
the new machine, dwelling upon
what a time-saver it was, and
withal bow fashionable it would
be for the old farmer to be able
to ride down to the village on
one of the new-fangled machines
whenever he wanted to.
"Why said the salesman,
" whenever you go to the' post-
office, bank, or store, everybody
will stop and stare at Farmer
Wilson, and pretty soon you'll be
the most-talked-of man in the
whole country. "
"That may be so" replied the
farmer, "but I tell you I'm a-
needen' a good new cow mo'n
I am one o' them things you're
a-talkin about."
Nevertheless, the agent' ex
tracted a promise that the old
man would save up his money and
purchase a bycycle in the fall.
According to promise, the
agent was on hand in the fall
with the wheel. The farmer took
him in charge and carried . him
out to the lot and showed him a
fine Jersy cow.
"That's what I bought with
the money I saved up for you,"
said the farmer. And without
waiting for the agent to recover
from his suprise he went on;
"I 'lowed that I needed the cow
mo'n I did the bycycle, an' there
she is. Ain't she a beaut?"
When the agent recovered his
breathe he said: You'll look
funny riding that cow to town
won't you?"
"Ya'as," drawled out the old
farmer, "but I'd look a darned
sight funnier tryin' to milk a
bycycle." Ex.

TEMPERANCE AND POLITICS.
When the Anti-saloon League
was organized it was composed
of some of the best people of our
state men who were sincere in
what they advocated. These
men are still sincere, but ever
since the League first met in
Raleigh the Democratic politici
ans have been getting as many
of their henchmen as possible
allied with the League so they
could turn it over to the Demo
cratic party. Two years ago it
was stated that the League was
for ultimate prohibition. But
what condition of affairs do we
find today? Read the following,
which is taken from a report of
the last meeting in Raleigh:
"it is understood that several
members of the committee urged
that the League fight this year
for prohibition, but this was
voted down on the ground that
it would not be fair to Senator
Simmons and others just on the
eve of his campaign for re-election
to the senate. "
And so it is more important to
play politics than to carry out
the purpose of the League this
year? ft looks as though the
politicians have succeeded in get
ting enough of their men in the
League to capture it and run it
as a side line to Simmons' cam
paign for re-election this fall.

THE SOUTH'S PROGRESS.
The February Review of Re
views under the general title
"The New Greatness of the
South and Southwest, " contains
four very interesting articles,
"The South's Amazing Pro
gress," "Development of the
Gulf Ports," "How Galveston
Rose from the Sea," and ,, Re
sources of Southwest Texas."
Tnese articles fairly fascinated
me; they are the best reading I
have seen in any paper or raaea-
jzine for many a month. Is it
not pleasing to know that
The South was nearly as weal
thy in 1905 as the United States
were in 1880;
The South has an investment
in cotton mills of $225,000,000
now against ,$21,000,000 in 1880;
The South's cotton crop in 1905
was more - than double what it
was in 1880;
The South mining 70,000,000
tons of bituminous coal annually
now as against 6,000,000 in 1880;
The South is producing 42,495,
802 barrels of petroleum a year
now, and in 1880 was producing
only 179,000;
The South's farm products in
1880 were $660,000,000, and now
they are $1,750,000,000;
The South's railroad mileage
has increased from 20,600 in 18
80 to 60,000 in 1905;
The South's lumber products
in 1880 had a value of 39, 000, 000,
and in 1905 their value was $250,
000,000. The South's resources have
barely been touched, they are
seemingly inexhaustible.
The South's prospect for busi
ness and industrial activity was
never brighter than today.
This state of affairs has been
brought about largely by South
ern industry, economy, enter
prise and capital and as Mr. Ed
monds, the writer of one of the
articles, shows, while the South
welcomes capital from abroad to
assist in developing her vast re
sources, she is not dependent,
being amply able to take care of
herself.
Doesn't this impose upon the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South great responsibilities?
She will meet them. Christian
Advocate.
