Every Wife Should Have an
Allowance.
It is one of the most humilia
ting elements in woman's life in
America to-day, and one of tho
phases which is most unconpli
mentarily reilective upon Amer
ican husbands, that a just al
lowance is withheld from many
wives. No matter how small
the allowance may be, so long
as it is fair in proportion to the
income earned,every wife should
have a purse of her own, sacred
t-o herself and her needs, and
free from the slighest intrusion
on the part of her husband.
Every wife is entitled to this,
and no young man—l care not
how small his income nor what
his reasoning m;iy be —starts
married life aright who with
holds that courtesy and that
right from his wife. —Edward
Bok, in The Ladies Home Jour
nal.

7oe the only remedy uniVfrsally
known and a remedy that
has had the largest sale of any

180* for the cure and treatment
of Consumption and Throat and

you will be thankful we called

ordinary cough remedies made
bv druggists and others, that
are cheap and good for .lig;it

there is difficult expectoration

A Manly Man.
It is said that all the world
loves a true lover, and in much
the same way everybody loves
a manly man. There is noth
ing grander or sweeter in life
unless it be a womanly woman.
Alt like a transparent charac
ter, but no on-? likes things
vvhich are covered up or con
cealed. People who are uncer
tain of themselves, who are not
sure of their characters, are al
ways throwing up a defense to
protect themselves against the
close scrutiny of the world.
Frank people fling the doors
of their hearts wide open, for
they have nothing to conceal.
They are not what they seem ;
tlaws and all; but secretive peo
ple, whose histories have not
been clear, who lack the self
confidence of true manhood,
open their inner doors very care
fully, very guardedly, lest otn
ers get glimpses of their unholy:
selves. _ _ '
There is nothing which will
help a young person to succeed j
more than a reputation for aj
clean, transparent, manly and
honest straightforwardness.
We are afraid of people who are
always on their guard, who do :
not quite dare to trust you to
look into their inmost selves.
—Success.
Lots of blessings in disguise
vro away without discovering
themselves.
| No Food m Alcohol.
A number of soldiers of the!
'same age. of the same type of
constitution, living under the
! same circumstances, eating the
j same food, breathing the same
I atmosphere, were divid"d into
two gangs —an alcoholic gang
and a non-alcoholic gang—and
engaged in certain work. The
alcoholic irang went far ahead
at first. They had buckets of
of beer at their side, and as
- they got a little tired they took
beer,aud the 'ion-alcoholic gang
were in an hour or two left no- ;
where; but the energies of the
beet drinkers speedily began to;
flag, and do what they would,!
before the end of the day the
non-alcoholic gang had left them i
far behind.
Thus goes an old-time argu- 1
ment for alcohol. There
is no.food, no strength, no good
in it.—The Libuor Problem. ;

"It's a beautiful picture,"
we said of 1 treasure that hung
on a friend.;' wall.
"Ye—s," she answered with
a note of n no vation in her voice
and a look of dissatisfaction on
her face. 11 Yes, 1 was delight
ed with it at first; it was some
thing rare then, that style of
work. But they are bringing
in so many cheap pictures done
in the smir way that one has to
look closeh to see any differ
ence, and it has somewhat
spoiled this one for me."
Yet the picture held the same i
restful scetv-, the same soft fin-j
ish and delicate coloring which j
had always been its beauty. ■
Why should a mere money value '
affect this charm? Some of thej
I cheaper ones were beautiful;
j also, its -lie said, but they were!
cheap and that spoiled them.!
There are many to whom beauty !
must be high-priced and exclu-l
sive, or it is not beauty at till.:
They rave oVer the wonderful
views of the Alps, but never be
stow a second glance at th
beauty of ihe sunset frym [

able concert, but are deaf to the'
song of birds and brooks, the

Democratic Platform.
Following is the platform
adopted by the Democratic State
Convention at Greensboro, at its
session on July IG, 1002:
"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
iigitimate means and we de
mand that tlie 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
has been made amongst us 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 ju-t system of taxation
and we demand that all subjects
jof taxation shall bear the jnst
I and equal proportion of the bur
idens of government.
"We renew our pledges for
[ the extension and improvement
I 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 i
the great impetus and progress j
in this great work during the!
last two years and call atten
tion to tho fact that this year, !
for the first time in the history j
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 j
the permanent prosperity ol
the people of this state de-j
petals largely upon the con-1
struction and mainu nanee of j
irood roads and wo pledge thej
party to the hearty support of j
all wise measures to that end. j
wi- heartily commend and en- •
done the adinittjstration of Gov.
Charles I?. Aycock and other j
State officials for their faithful;
execution >f 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 Sena'or F. M;
Simmons and to our Democratic
representatives in congress and
congratulate them and. the peo
ple oi' 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 still;*
competition, throttle individual
effort and destroy the generous
spirit of rivalry that should
exist in the commercial world.
"We denounce the deceptive
' and sordid course of the repub
lican party in congress in furth
ering the existence of the trims
by irs refusal to enact legislation
restricting them and enforce in
good faith the existing laws
against them that party being
iti fuil control of all branches of
the government
"We denounce the present
iniqtiilious, unjust, and trust
creating protective tariff, im
posed upon tho people by the
Republican party, and demand
its immediate revision, to the
end that all unjust burdens shali
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-J
ducts to consumers at home at
greater prices than arc charged!
for the same goods to the for-1
eign consumer. We demand, I
therefore, that all such tru-t
-inade 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-i
pie with a confidence that it is j
only from the Democratic party j
that there can be expected an j
honest, capableaucl efficient ad
ministration of the government
of the State and point with pride
o it- past history in the admin-

with the iniquities of fusion and

pledge our best efforts for the
advancement of the material
prosperity and happiness, of the
whole people.
"That we favor making all
nominations by our party for
at ate and district offices bv 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
eral assembly of appropriate
legislation of such primaries;
that the State executive com
mittee is instructed to call at
such time as they think wise a
primary to nominate a United
S.ates Senator to succeed Sena
tor Pritehard, but such primary
shall not be It eld on the day of
the general election.
A minority report was made
as to the clause in reference to
the national plat.orm 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 Pritehard."
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.

A SAD DISAPPOINTMENT.
Ineffective liver medicine is a

don't want to purge, strain and

They cleanse the system of all
poison and putrid matter and
do it so gently that one enjoys
the pleasant effects. They are
