Mills North and South.
| New Bedford and Fall River
cotton mill men are beginning
|to see that there is something
i else IU the mill problem besides
child labor. They begin to set
that freight and insurance is
is each an element of it, and
they are appealing to the trans
portation people to come to
their relief by granting through
rates to each New England
mill. - -
It is proposed, too, to deliver
i cotton at Fall River and New
; Bedford by water transportation
| the insurance to be borne by
the transportation companies,
and it is said the transportation
companies have virtually come
to the relief of the New England
mills, which are indeed hard
pressed, even in this period of
prosperity.
All such relief is, however,
cliimercal. Railroads aud
steamboats are not conducted by
men who are iu search ot health.
They are in search of dividends,
the fatter the better, and any
agreement to the contrary will
not prove enduring.
The best settlement of the
problem consists in putting
upon South the manufacturing
of coarse cotton stuifs and upon
Now England the making of
line goods —the two to pull to
gether against the rest of the
world. New England has the
capital and skill to make ail
sorts of fiue cotton goods, and
the variety of them is becoming
larger every year. It is a re
flection upon tliis country that
the greater part of its raw cotton
is carried away to be spun and
woven in other countries. Every
pound of it should be spun here
and much of it woven here. As
things stand however, we spin
but a third of it. If every New-
England rniil were turned into a
plant for the manufacture of
iiue goods,the number of South
ern mills could readily be
doubled, and then we would be
gin to get the upper hand of this
great industry as against the
rest of the world. —Ex.
CAUTION.
This is not a gentle word—
but when you think how li
able you are not to purchase for
7oe the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that
has had the largest sale of any
medicine in the world since
1808 for the cure and treatment
of Consumption and Throat and
Lung troubles without losing its
great popularity all these years,
you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschees' Ger
man Syrup. There are so many
ordinary cough remedies made
by druggists ilnd others, that
are cheap and good for light
colds perhaos, but for Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup, and especi
ally for Consumption, where
there is difficult expectoration
and coughing during the nights
and at mornings, there is noth
ing like German Syrup. Sold
by all druggists iu the civilized

Huge Joke.
. The gratest joke of the seas >ll
Jwas the nomination of Dean
: for Superior Court by
j Che Republicans of the sixteenth
! judicial district in their conven
tion at Murphy on the 12th iust.
3isk is a boy of 25 or 20 years
*ld, has had license to practice
law for four or live years and
lias never tried a case of any
importance. For the past two
or three years he has spent
most of his time in the revenue
service asgaugerof brandy aud
whiskey.
We know this nomination is
only a huge joke on the young
man. He is so much better
fitted in every way to gauge
liquor than to sit as judge on
the Superion Court bench that
his friends are inexcusable for
calling him down from that ex
alted position to the humble
position of judge ! Tis such a
pity that people can never let
well enough alone when he gets
himself into a good position.
Think of the great humilita
tion this young jurist must suf
fer in stepping down from his
position of service of Uncle Sam
to the service of common.vulgar
crowd. Down, down, far down
the ladder,from whiskey gsuger
to Superior Court judge is this
learned and scholarly jurist
called to come.!
But it is said that this youth
of such profound erudition aud
scholarly attainments has seen
fit to give his assent to step
down from his present exalted
position of gauger and give to
the judiciary of the State in
fluence aud elevation attendant
! upon his valuable servises upon
the bench upon the condition
of course, that votes enough can
be had to elect him
Really and seriously the
j young han should bring suit
I against his district for poking
j fun at him and. making him
the object of such a huge joke'.

baths are superior to those of

A REMARKAF.LE RECORD.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has a remarkable record. It
has been in use for over thirty
years, during which time manv
million bottles have been sold
and used. It has long been the
standard and main reliance in
the treatment of croup in thous
ands of homes, yet during this
time no case has never been re
ported to the manufacturers in
which it failed to effect a cure.
When given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse or even as soon
I as the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. It is
pleasant to"take, many children
like it. It contains no opium
' or other harmful substance and
may be given as confidently to
a baby as to an adult. For sale

Democratic Platform.
Following is the platforir
adopted by the Democratic State
Convention at Greensboro, at its
pession on July 16, 1902:
"We congratulate the people
of North Carolina upon the
adoption of the suffrage amend
/ ment to our State constitution
and upon the benefits that have
resulted therefrom and we
pledge the Democratic party to
faithfully maintain it by every
ligitimate means and we de*
mand that the Republican party
shall declare its purpose either
to accept or reject it, and until
it is accepted as a finality by
all parties we declare it the duty
of the white people to stand to
gether for its protection.
"The Democratic party rep
resenting the intelligence, the
virtue and the manhood of the
people of the State, recalls with
pleasure the entire absence of
scaudals during its administra
tion of public affairs and the
gratifying advancement that
lias been made amongst us in
ail industrial lines. We have
fostered agriculture and pro
moted manufacturing and have
given to capital full security and
have protected the rights of la
bor. We pledge the party to a
fair and just system of taxation
and we demand that all subjects
of taxation shall bear the just
and equal proportion of the bur
dens of government.
"We renew our pledges for
the extension and improvement
of the public schools of the State
so that it may keep pace with
the needs and conditions of the
people, and point with pride to
the great impetus and progress
in this great work during the
last two years and call atten
tion to the fact that this year,
for the first time in the history
of the State, every school dis
trict has been able to maintain a
public free school for four
months as required by the
constitution. We believe that
the permanent prosperity of
the people of this de
pends largely unon the con
struction and maintenance of
good roads and we pledge the
party to the hearty support of
all wise measures to that end.
we heartily commend and en
dorse the administration of Gov.
Charles B. Aycock and other
State officials for their faithful
execution of the party's prom
ises in-so-far as the same has
been possible.
"We likewise extend our ap
preciation and endorsement of
United States Senator F. M.
Simmons and to our Democratic
representatives in congress and
congratulate them and the peo
ple of the State for their faithful
and official services to the State
in councils of the nation.
"We affirm our allegiance to
the Democratic party and its
principles as enunciated in its
national platform. We denounce
the policy of imperialism as in
augurated by the republican
national administration and de
clare it to be obnoxious to our
form of government and fraught
with danger to the existence of
the republic. We denounce as
oppressive and illegal those com
binations of capital known as
trusts and monopolies that stifle
competition, throttle individual
effort and destroy the generous
spirit of rivalry that should
exist in the commercial world.
"We denounce the deceptive
aud sordid course of the repub
lican party in congress in furth
ering the existence of the trusts
by its refusal to enact legislation
restricting them arid enforce in
good faith the existing laws
against them that party being
in full control of all branches of
the government.
"We denounce the present
iniquitious, unjust, and trust
creating protective tariff, im
posed upon the people by the
Republican party, and demand
its immediate revision, to the
end that all unjust burdens shall
be removed and especially upon
the necessities of life. Its pro
visions enable the trusts to ex
tort from the people unreason
able profits and sell their pro
ducts to consumers at home at
greater prices than are charged
for the same goods to the for
eign consumer. We demand,
therefore, that all such trust
made goods be placed on the
free list. We favor the estab
lishment of the Appalachian
Park and urge that our senators
and representatives in congress
use their best efforts to secure
establishment.
"We again appeal to the peo
ple with a confidence that it is
only from the Democratic party
that there can be expected an
honest, capableand efficient ad
ministration of the government
of the State and point with pride
o its past history in the admin

'•That we favor making all

committee is hereby instructed
to formulate a system to regu

the United States Senate and
district nominations and we de

that the State executive com
mittee is instructed to call at
such time as they think wise a
primary to nominate a United
Srates Senator to succeed Sena
tor Pritchard, but such primary
shall not be held on the day of
the general election.
A minority report was made
as to the clause in reference to
the national platvorm which
provided :
"Substitute for the words:
'We reaffirm our allegiance to
the democratic party and the
principles as enunciated in its
national platform, the words.
We reaffirn our allegiance to the
fundamental principles of the
democratic party.' "
This was voted down and
the original clause was adopted.
There was a minority report
on the paragraph as to the se
lection of candidates as follows :
"Strike out all that relates
to the nomination of a United
States Senator to succeed Sen
ator Pritchard."
On motion of Hon. Thomas
Skinner this was amended so as
to strike out in the platform all
relative to primaries and then
as amended was adopted.
