The Crisis.
In 1000 a great crisis in the
history of the State had been
reached.. The tendency of the
negro to demand his so-called
"rights" at elections endanger
ed one-third of the counties of
this great State. The Demo
cratic parly bravely advocated
jm amendment to the Constiti -
tion which eliminated this great
danger, and the people of North
Carolina adopted this amend
ment by an overwhelming ma
jority.
The school-houses dotted all
over the State with thousands
of children are gathering to
gether on the hillsides and in
The valleys are unmistakeable
evidences of Democratic rule.
The whistles of the steam en
gines and the hum of the fac
tories. heard everywhere speak
in clarion notes of Democratic 1
prosperity. The development
and growth in every part of the
State is an assurance that the
peoplt have implicit confidence
in the wisdom and integrity of
tlie Democratic party. J. M.
Gudger at Robbinsville.
Hancock's Liquid Sulphur
baths are superior to those of
the most celebrated sulphur
springs, having the ado itional
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

are cheap and good for light
colds perhaus, but for Coughs,

there is difficult expectoration

swung ostentatiously over a (
grey waistcoat. He came to
consult the doctor about his ,
mother, who had some obscure (
and, as he feared, mortal a.l- .
men. 'le spoke with much (
feeling, but did not forget to ]
adjust his chain or twirl his (
musthache as he talked. j
"She has been a very active |
woman," he said. "Had tre- (
mendous energy all her life; j
but now she seems to have gone (
all to pieces. She has no pain, (

weak she can hardly walk. She| (

is the matter? Can you help

"What- work did she do?" ,
asked the doctor. ,
"She was a tailoress, and she !

"You!" the doctor. ,
"Nothing else. She has sap

when you should be supporting
her and bringing comfort and
honor to her old age, you arc a
dead weight and a disgrace. If
she dies, you, and you only are

When lie was gone, the doc
tor suid : "It is very a common
case. A woman is unselfish

life to serve a husband or a sou.
Her devotion only encourages

I' Signature of
Democratic Platform.
Following is the platform
adopted by the Democratic State
Convention at Greensboro, at its
session 011 July IG, 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
scandals during its administra
tion of public affairs and the
gratifying advancement thatj
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 just system of taxation
and we demand tbat all subjects
of taxation shall bear the just
aud 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
oeople, 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 prespc-rity of
the people of this stato de
pends largely upon 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 P>. 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. \Y T e 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
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 tri st •
by its refusal to enact legislation
restricting them and 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
iniqiiitious, 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
he removed and especially upon
the necessities of life. Its pro
visions enable the trusts* to ex
tort from the peoplo 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 truot
made goods be placed 011 the
free list. We favor the estab
, lishment of the Appalachian
j 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 b
only from the Democratic part}
that there can be expected ai
! honest, capableand efficient ad
i ministration of tho goveramen
, of the State and point with pridi
to its past history in the admin

servative and economical gov

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
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
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
States 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 natioual 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
011 the paragraph as to the se
lection of candidates as follows :
"Strike out all that relates j
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.
