Vol. 12.
Too Many Bachelors.
Those eminent gentlemen who
j have been picturing by means
!of pen and bru«h the summer
1 resorts as sadly lacking in that
very necessary commodity, men
are responsible, perhaps,for one
of the greatest errors that
ever mislead our ineelligent
populace. They have been
making us believe that man, in
j his all pervading importance, is
! so scarce in the spots se
ductive rest is supposed to lurk
that woman spending her time
in cooking up plans to nab the
first trousered arrival in order
that she may bear him off tri
umphantly to the side of tho
sad sea waves or to the moun
tain top, as the case may be,
and tear from his unwilling lips
a proposal relating to matri
j mony.
It may be these are not more
artistic allusions. But be they
true pictures of life in restful
places or be they fancies, only
fancies, they have created a
general impression that men are
scare. Men are not scarce. Put j
the fond hope aside as a snare
and a delusion. The last cen
sus shows that men, unmarried
men—bachelors, to be plain
about it—are about the heavi
est drug on the American live
stock market.
The census shows that there
are in this country 6,720,799
bachelors to 4,105,4-iO spinsters.
In other words,"if the bachelors
and spinsters should become
reconciled and mated, there
would be left over out in tbe
cold world, as it were, 2,931,333
bachelors. The census shows
it, and the census figures are
absolutely reliable.
In the language of the day, it
is now up to the worthy bache
lors to get a move on themselves
to wake up from dreams of be
ing sought by fair maidens, and
to eliminate the possibility of
becoming an atom in the un
sheltered two millions and more.

CAUTION.
This is not a gentle word
but when you think how li
able you are not to purchase for
Toe the ouly remedy universally
known and a remedy that
has had the largest sale of any
medicine in the world since
lHoft for the cure and treatment
of Consumption and Throat and
Lung troubles without losing its
great popularity all these years,
you will bo thankful we called
your attention to Boschees' Gcr
man Syrup. There are so many
ordinary cough remedies made
by druggists and others, that
are cheap and good for light
colds peril a ns, but for Coughs,
Bronchitis. Croup, and especi
ally for Consumption, where
there is difficult expectoration
and coughing during the night
and at mornings, there is noth
ing like Germati Syrup. Sold
by all druggists in the civilized

A Great Scheme.
A patent medicine concern
heads an ad with the caption,
"Tot causes night alarm." The
article is a remedy for colds,
(etc. We would suggest that
the firm add to its line u patent
linament and work this along
with the bronchial specialty.
The same ad with slight altera
tion would cover both curatives,
just as the "Tot," stimulates
the demand for cacli. It might
point out that, while the old
man is shivering around in the
dark, feeling for the paregoric
and paving the wny to a con
sumptives timely end. the pro
verbi il carpet tack comes into
play through the unprotected
sole of a pedal extremity, in
view of which contingency this
liniment was especially designed
and if used as directed will
shield the happy father from
the disagreeable notoriety of a
newspaper account, etc.
Hancock's Liquid Sulphur
baths are superior to those of
the most celebrated sulphur
springs, having the additional
advantage of being made any
desired strength. Taking med
icine by absorption into the sys
tem through the skin by
taking medical baths is a very
efficient method of obtaining a
constitutional treatment. It
never fails to cure eczema and
all blood and skin diseases. Ask
your druggist for a book on

A REMARKABLE RECORD.
Chamberlain's Cough Ilemedy
has a remarkable record. It
has been in use for over thirty
years, during which time many
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
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 Stat(
Convention at Greensboro, at its
session on July 16, 1902:
"We congratulate the people
of North Carolina upon the
adoption of the suff rage 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 moans 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
scandals during its administra
tion of public affairs and the
gratifying advancement that
lias been made amongst UH in
all 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
svnd we demand that all subjects
jf taxation shall bear the just
nud equal proportion of the bur
iens of government.
"We renew our pledges for
the extension and improvement
:>f the public schools of the State
50 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,
t'or the first time in the history
jf 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 presperity of
ihe people of this state de
pends largely upon the con
struction and maintenance of
good roads and we pledge the
party to the hearty support of
till 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 and enforce in
good faitli the existing laws
against them that party being
in full control of all branches of
the government
"We deuounce 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 aus urge that our senators
aud 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 ad
ministration of the government
of the State and point with pride
o its past history in the adinin-

"That we favor making all
nominations by our party for
state and district offices by pri
maries and the state executive
committee is hereby instructed
to formulate a system to regu
late primary nominations for
the United States Senate and
district nominations and we de
mand the enactment by the gen

that the State executive com
mittee is instructed to call at
such time as they think wise a

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 natioual plaLorm which
provided :
"Substitute for the words:
'We reaffirm our allegiance to
the democratic party and the
principles as enuueiated 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
011 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.
