The law, however, re quires ibe bond to be renewed annually. Sheriff Barns did not renew bis tsx bonds latt December for tbe tsx book which psssed into ibe bands ot Sheriff Cook tbe first of September of this yesr, bat an examination ot ths bond as above published, showa clearly tbat the tax books of 1901 were protected by Ibis bond. For tbe two years pre vious Sheriff Barns bad given bonds made by a Trust Company, for which Col. Ptmberton or Mr. Nimoeks wsrs tbe representative here.

Daring each year ainoe Bheriff Burns went into offloe, he settled in fall, and no sheriff baa ever made a better abowing in Cumberland oounty than has Sheriff Burns. Now. Mr. Editor, it Is a self-evident faot tbat the anonymous correspondent in yesterday', paper waa making an indirect thrust at ths oounty commis sioners of Cumberland county. It the name ot my deceased Inend bad pot been attacked indirectly I ahould have said nothing, bat in jastioe to bis mem ory I ask ths publiostion of this article. xonr correspondent may attaok tbe Board ot Commissioners as tnach,as tbey desire, or any other Bounty offloer, or even myself, and I will take no notice of them throogb tbe medium of tbe press, ss I have never, up to this tins, dirsotly or indirsotly aogsgsd in a hswiDsnsr eontroversy.

I am personally gratified to note tbat the general public Is at laat beginning to take more interest In tbe manage ment of our public affairs. Had tbe msnsgement of tbe sherlfi's office been in less competent snd trustworthy bsnds, especially In view of George's sad and untimely' death In tbe mid dle of bis term, tbe result might bsve been a very serious one to the tsxpsy ers of tbe county.

BI001D Or THI STATI DIMOCIA0T, ; 1 V' The Democratic party, says the Ral eigh News and Observer, has a proud record in three great appropriations msds by tbe last Legislature. "These 1 amount to $600,000 and an open ehal lenge is thrown to tbs Republicans to msks criticism of them. Here they are: $100,000 added to the pension list for tbe Confederate veterans. $200,000 as an additional amount for educational purposes. $dUU,0UO for permsnsnt improve ments and additioaelo State charitable and education institutions, All ot tbsss tor worthy csuses and all ot them needed. All justly expended and not a dollar diverted from tbe pur pose for wbiob it waa voted." Tbe Raleigh Times collates from re cent Demooratio speeches the follow ing: "Tbe rate of taxation for State pur poses is less under the act of 1901 than any year since the civil wsr. Tbs rate fixed by tbe Democrats is 21 cents on tbe $100 valuation of property. Tbe rate fixed by the Fusionists wsr 221 cents on tbe $100, but their aot was so glaringly violative ot the State eonsti lotion tbat tbe Republican Supreme court declared it to be void and tbe old tax ot 21 f cent was collected." T. B. Wtmaek at Bmtihfield. "Now it Senator Pritobard thinks a great wrong has been done in borrow ing KflJO.OOO to pay for the expense of government, he should bold bis own esponsible, beeaoae, by reason ot tbeir misconduct in tbese three years of what bs calls Democratic rule, we bsve expended $283,935 90 makioer good tbeir shortcomings." T. B. Womack at Bmithfleld ''We find that the Republican spent in 1897 and 1898, for the three pur poses of education, confederate soldiers. and insane asylums, $857,858 55, while tbe Democrats have spent in 1901, snd have appropriated for 1902 from Ihe public treasury for tbe same purposes, tbs 10m of $1.662.388.20."-T. B. Wom ack at Smith field. "North Carolina has an income tsx. Every cent above $1,000 a man makea is tsxed 1 per cent, by the State. It I make $6 000 a year I pay an income tax of $50. 80 under Democratic ad ministration in North Carolina tbe rail roads have been taxed, and nnder a Democratic Governoi a suit was brought which took tbe Coast Line Railroad from tbe free list and pnt it upon the tax list, thereby putting thousands of dollars saeh year into the Treasury and distributing ths burden ot taxation." It. W. Wimttm at Graham. "In the platform Adopted by tbe Re publicans at Greensboro we find the mrange inconsistency and anomaly tbat tbs Republican party condemns ths Demooratio party for its failure to pro vide four months pnblio school in each acbool district from 1870 to 1895, snd then denounces the Demooratio party for making tbe necessary 'sppropii tions in 1901 'n aaonmplish this nur poss."-T B. Womack at Smithfield "I will quote from Mr. George B. Hiss, president ot tbe Southern Cotton Spinners' Association and the Republi can candidate for Congress against my friend, Mr. Webb. Io an interview in the Charlotte Observer, July 20, 1902, Mr. Hits said : '(Jar English friends esn tqaio cotton mills with msehinery at least 40 per cent, cbesper than we osn, because ws bsve a 40 per cent tariff tor tbe protsetion ot oar own American machinery manufacturers. Therefore, it we expect to gratp a large percent age of export trade, we mast endeavor to overoome thia protection wbioh is givsn to our Amerioau cotton machin ery manufacturer, by injecting into oor manufacturing management those economies which by virtue ot our here tofore cotton manof aeturing conditions, ws bsve largely lost sight of." I will re mind Mr. Hiss that the American menu faeturers ot cotton mill maebinery will aell to foreigners in their own land monh ebsaper than tbey do Americans in tbe home market.

Atlanta Joornal. Industrial activity in tbe South seems to be reaching one in every possible difsction. Tbe productive capacity of this ssetion i practically unlimited new sourees of wealth are being dis covered eonstsntlv, spd old ones srs being enlsrged. Recently silk oolture baa received much attention in several Sou'bern States. rr This is a tevival ot so old Southern industry, ratber than tbs introduction of a new one. The sDinmog ot silk thrsad and ths wsaving of silk cloth were by no means rars in Georgia in ante-bellum timea. Dnring the oivil war Southern ladies frequently appeared in elegant silk dretses which were the product out and out of their patience, skill and industry. Ic baa been demonstrated tbat tbs silk worm can thrive temarkably well in Georgia and tbat be yields a very Alb quality of silk. here. ws believe tbat sua culture properly carried on in this State would pay well and we expect to see efforts in this direetion in the early future. ' North Carolina seems to be taking tbe lead of the other Southern States in this matter. The Brooklyn Etgle a a reoent issue devotes a lengthy and very interesting special article to this phase of North Uarolina enterprise. It refers especially to tbe intelligent (fforts of Mt. Gerald McCarthy, biolo gist of tbe North Carolina agricultural department. Tbe Eagle gives ibis hopeful view ot tbe silk oulture experi mefat in Ibe "Old North State." "Undismayed by tho history of past failures, tbe department of agriculture of North Carolina bas been for several months vigorously experimenting with silk worms, bss persuaded near by farmers' wives and farmers' children to raise them and bas found a market for the cocoons. Tbe national department ot agriculture at Washington bas se en, ed an appropriation ot $10,000 to eommenoe experimenting on its own book, and if farther signs of ibis new setivity be needed a company baa been formed in New York with an author ised capital ot two and a half million dollars tbe Incorporated Sericulture and Manufacturing Company ot Amer ioa to stsrt silk growers and provide reeling plsnts for tbeir product. "Immense possibilities He behind all this, for now $45,000,000 worth of raw silk is imported into ibis country each year, tbe figures hiving doubled sinoe 1890. Silk msnnfaoturicg bas become one of tbe mightiest ot enterprises. As tbe yesrs go 00 an enormous further demand is not to he doubted, and it is ibis tbat bas led tbe scientists to brave all discouragements and 'try again' to produoe silk in America, even if the trials of a hundred years all failed. "There is much to encourage them in tbeir hopes. Silk worm growing is one of tbe simplest of agricultural pur suite; even old women and children can make a saooees of it. As experi ments have proved tbe mulberry trees, on the leaves of wbioh tbe silk worms feed, can be grown in scores of locali ties io tbis country; in fsct, both north ant! south, tbe mulberry tree flourishes in many places today. The diffioulty and obstsole is at present tbat there are no reeling mills snd tbe cocoons tbat have been occasionally raised here and there through the country find no buyers." Professor McCarthy bas bis besrt in this work sud is going at it in a practi cal way tbat will probably prove largely beottnial to bis State. Ia a recent circular which he has issued and sent throughout North Car olina be says: "Silk culture was a considerable bus iness in tbe Carolinaa as early as 1780 II eonlioued to bs practiced io a small wsy until tbe period just preceding the oivil war. Thousands of molberry trees planted prior to 1860 are still io toll vigor in msny parts ot tbese states. Toe cau jb ot tbe deoline from tbe pros Deritv of colonial days was doe solely to sooial changes, not at all to any lack of adaptability in soil or climate. 'Wishing to determtoe tbe present value of silk growing upon North Caro lioa farms the state department of aerioulture in the spring of the present ye-ir imported from Italy 12 ounces of ailk worm eggs, and distributed them amocg tbe farmers ot tbe state in quantities of about one-eighth ot an ounoe. Tbe experimenters woo actually did the work were for the most part tbe wivea and daughters of white termers. Most of these bad never seen a silk worm before. Tbe depsrtmeot snp plied with the eggs s sheet ot iostruo tions and a 'feeding chart.' With tbsss for tbeir only guide our experi menters wsnt to work. Ths result has fsr sxeeeded oar most sanguine expec tations. Nearly everybody made a suooee of it tbe few who failed have suffered from tbe depredation ot rats. Something over 100 pounds of eoooons were harvested for eaon ounoe ot eggs incubated. Tbe quality was on tbe average tbe grade known as 'medium fine.' Tbe worms were io all eea grown with mskesbitt apparatus ai.d in closets or eopboards in fsmily living rooms. "No one complained of any difflouiiy in rearing tbe worms, in rset woere given plenty ot food and fresh air ths worms did lbs rsst in tbs wsy tost might bavs won tbs besrt ot a veteran Kodaker. Tbs work proved ot enor moos interest to lbs children who car ried it Ibrongb. It wss a rsvslstion to most of them oouotrj-bred folk ss ihsy wsre. Ths Isek ot a filature or reeling establishment tor winding the silk into banks, in which form it is found in ths market, baa so fsr pre vsntsd us from completing tbe experi ment by laming tbe eoooons into cash. This lack will beanpplisdsnothsryear, and the industry thus pieced opon a permanent basis, " Already there ars mors than ons ban drsd silk growers in North Carolina snd Professor McCarthy believes thsrs will be ten times tbat numbsr next year.

Mr Editor: Pormit me to ssy a few words to tbe democrats of Comberland Connty rel ative to our approaching County Con vention. I am afraid tbat under tbe recommendations of a majority of our Coanty Eiecative Committee at its re cent meeting, tbe democratic party of Cumberland oounty is about to sail on uoknowo seas without either chart or compass. As I understand it tbe com mittee recommend tbat all democrats from tbe various precincts go as dele gates to tbe Coanty Coavention, be reoognised as soon and cast a propor tionate part of tbe votes ot their re spective precincts. Tbis is, in my opiotiioQ, a serious departure from tbe wisdom of human experience as man ifested in tbe government of all parties under a republican form of govern ment. History teaches that such a thing as a pure democraoy involving tbe government of any considerable number ot people is an absolute im possibility; and as an1 illustration of tbis, showing tbe wisdom of our an cestors as contained in our Stale Con stitution, we have one Senator and two Representatives to mske the laws for 29,249 people living in tbis county. To attain tbe best results, there must be order, and men of experience who rep resent somebody and who are aeons tomed to pnblio meetings, mast set for those of kts experience and capacity. In other words, there must be system in politics as well as in everything else. This faot bas been reoogoized by both ibe republican party and tbe demo cratic party, and eaob ot these parties have adopted a plan ot organizttion. Tbe demooratio party in tbe State bas adopted a plan of organizttion from which, thoogh it may be cum brons in some respects, it is certainly unsafe to entirely depart. Under this plan ot organization the preoinot is the corner-itone. It is for the demo orats assembled at their various pre oinot meetings to ssy whether or not tbey are williog to take tbe ohanoes of tbeir preoiocts as integral parts of tbe townships and of the coanty, being without representation at tbe County Cjnvention. It is possible on the one band, that one preoinot, say in Cross Creek for instance, may have as many as two or three hundred democrats to cast only 2, votps, and on tbe other hand, say from Qjewb flh or Beaver Dam, it is entirely possible that under ihe plan proposed, two or three men may oast the ten votes of their town ship. Macs conventions sre not in so oordanee with tbe genius of the demo cratic party. Tbe thing for democrats to do is when tbey meet at tbeir pre cinct meetings on next Wednesday, 10m inst., to elect, say ten delegates and ten alternates to tbe County Con vention, and let these men be selected with due regard to tbeir past democratic record, patriotism and ability to rep resent their constituents in the nomi nation ot suitable officers. Too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of every demoorat at tending his preoinot primary, and let him remember tbat if be does not attend, he is not doing bit duty to him self, bis party or bis oountry. It seems to me that here is where the stress should bavs been laid in the call of the Couut; Executive Committee. Let us abide, as far as possible, by tbe well tried machinery of our party and let os, not for an instsnt, think what new methods srs necessarily tbe best, especially when these new methods sre io direct not fl ot with tbe experience of tbe demooratio parly in the State Eternal vigilance is tbe price of lib ertv." Well beaten paths sre best. Without saving anything for or against tbe ten votes By stem which has heretofore been adopted in tbis county, and writing under ibe presumption tbat it will be continued al tbe coming County Conventijo, I take the liberty of urging upon our democratic breth ren the neoessity of their goiog to their eeveral precincts tbroogbout tbe County in sa Urge numbrs a possible and carefully electing fit and repretentative men at delegate to the approaching County Convention I am opposeu to tuuu rum nou A ler that it tbe recommendations ot tbe Ezeoutive Committee are literally car ried ont oor County Convention will more nearly resemble a mob thau a ell organ z d politioal party wbose one aim should be to nominate ana eleot the best possible men as tfflce holders. I trust thst due consideration will be given to tbe thought wbioh is merely outlined in this article snd tbat tbe democrats of tbe County will not only elect delegates at tbeir primaries, but will eleot the best possible material aa delegates to the end that the aotioo ot Ibe Convention, composed of there delegates, oarefully seleoted, may bs wise and to tbe best interests of oar Connty.

It has been Ibe one faithful defender ot the people under al stress of weaiber, standing firmly, faitbfalllyby the Constitution, tbe very sheet-anchor of liberty. It has never yielded to ihe clamor ot demagogues favoring usurpation and a strong gov ernment. It has been tbe unfaltering friend and advocate of tbe foundation principle ot free government. It bas forever defended tbe right of trial by jury which bas been denied by the cor rupt republican parly, which also swept away tbesscred writ snd privilege of habeas corpus. It bas from tbe first advent of carpetbag bummers and thieves protested apainet tbeir rale and ornel domination. It has always pro tested against the bigh-banded robbe ries of tbe United States Treasury by public scoundrels and plunderers. It bas fought for nearly an hundred years tbe robberies of tbe people perpetrated by their enemies under a bigb, villainous tariff Ux .eysturj of Rab Roy piraoy. It has denounced and opposed Iho creatures, tbe cffp'ings of a high tar ff ibe conscience s, re morseless, insatiate trusts. Ic- bas favored strict economy iu public ex petiditnres, and a due observance al ways of tbe rights of tbe Stales and the people. It will be recalled by close students of politioal science and tbe records of parties, that when tx-Sena tor Bootwell, of Massachusetts, was urging tbenominationof Gonoral Grant for a third teim, in 1875, it prob ably was, he made this distinct, aa founding arfmie-ion: "We have changed, indeed io some particulars we have annihilated the Constitution of Washington, tbe Constitution of tbe Fathers. May the people annul tbe written law cf the Fathers, and still be perpetually bound by their traditions." The "people ' be refers to are the republicana, the nsuipetB and destructives. Tbe people mast be wideawake, for tbeir liberties and rights are being steadily taken from them. "Eternal vigilance is tbe price of liberty.'! Tbe politicians need to be watched all the time. The trend now, as it bat been since 1865, is to madness in expenditure of public moneys. An economical government, Slate and uatioual, is tbe positive need of this hour. Tberepub licaD8 have been for thiity years tbe wildest abusers of opportunities, and have literally thrown away vast sums of tbe money of tbe people. The dem oorats have not been guarded enough and feckless. Some religious weeklies in our Btate are directing attention to tbe condition ot tbe Slate Treasury. Tbey set a good example of faithfulness in tbis particnlar by "turning oa tbe light," and letting ihe taxpayers understand wbat bis been done. Tbe rre6e, eecu ar as well as religious, must be faith ful seutinels ss well as public guardians. The people can only learn through tbe Press. It must be very observant and very true to the people. "This Argus o'er the People's rights doth an eternal vigil keep, No soothing soun l cf Maia's harp can lull its hundred eyes to sleep." I q lote from memory, snd a word or two may not be exact. Tbe eminent Justioe Joseph Story wrote probably seventy-five years ago: "Here Bhn.ll the Press the People's right maintain, Unaw'J by iiflienoe and'unbrib'd by gain." With a brave, true, utfliging Press the liberties of tbe people can never be sacr.ficed by tyrants anii autoorats and usurpers. Tbe curse of this country is wild ex travagance. Lock at tbe American C ingress for tbe last ten years. It has voted away tbe people 8 moneys as if they were of no value, and cost tbe owners nothing to obtain them. The total appropriations of tbe republican Congress for the last session were $1062 711000. Iu ooe session alone tbey voted away more of the people's money, tban President Buchanan, the last really demooratio President, would nave expended tor all purposes in more tban tweve years. Think of tbat. Our population is but 2i times larger while xpendilures have increased quite eleven times. Such is tepnblioan sense and laltet-day wisdom of politicians Tbe people should vote for no spend (bride, but for men only of integrity and economy wbo will not rob them or oppress tbem by legislation. Kugland is a wise country in many particulars. It raises a great revonne, each as a royal government rt quires, but it raises it out of tbe riches ot the people snd not oat of the poverty of tbe people.

THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO., ATLANTA, GA ' tations of the State. The reports ot the soperintendendents show a smaller per oapita expenditure than is found in perhaps all the States in tbe Union. Tbe Standard in its last issue (nf this week) says the article on the defloit in its previous issue was taken from the Raleigh Recorder, a paper I have not read iu many years. The latter says in its concluding paragraph: There is bat one conclusion: Tho State must order economy wherever possible, and yet it must hot do itself harm ; and it must not increase any appropriations unless it is imperative ; and even then it must increase the taxes, must get a larger, a very much larger revenue. Tbis will be tbe chief task of the Gen eral Assembly soon to be elected." I hope very sincerely tbat no attempt will be made to increase the taxes, for tbey are already drastic enough, op pressive enough. But the legislature, if governed by wisdom, foresight and a spirit of justice, will raise wbatever revenues that may be required to meet tbe great exigencies, cot by higher taxation of the great mass of poor people, but by taxing of properties and moneys and cortaio interests that have heretofore escaoed bearing tbeir equal and proper burden.

Carrying with them more than a score of graphophone records, mes sages to friends in the lar East, the Reverend and Mrs. John Gowdy have started for Foo Chow, China, where they will make their permanent home Several years ago the Rev. Mr. Gow dy left West Plttston for Drew Semi nary to be educated to engage In mis sionary work, and he was very suc cessful. . He received an appointment as Instructor In the Anglo-Chinese College there, and three weeks ago here ended his journey of 18,000 miles to mark the close of a romance of his esrller life In West Plttston. Miss Gertrude Thompson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Thompson, be came his bride, and agreed to share his fortune snd success in the Orient. When it became known that the couple will travel through the interior, they were asked to take messages to many friends, and to facilitate the un dertaking and perhaps bring tbe recip ient thereof a trifle nearer home, it was decided to make graphophone records, and this was done. They were packed In a case, and will be delivered as the missionary happens across the friends. K0I1S FBOkt WILSON. Wilson, N. C, Sept. 1, 1902. Mr Editor: Oa my arrival at this place tbis p. m. I saw on the side track a car maiked "The Cbioago Stars Ladies' Base Bill Club." I learned tbat tbe girls were goiog to play against Rocky Mount and Wilson boyB, a picked team, and it was my pleasure for tbe first time to see a lady play ball. I have always beard tbat they could not catch a ball as good as a man, simply because a man was larger, but Buch it not tbe case; they play well and are good catcher;, but poor batters. They, however, got beaten, score 5 to J id favor of the boys. Tbey leave tonight to fill sixteen otber engagements al ready booked, first of which is Dunn, N. C!

Washington, Sepl'r G The Treasury Department, it is learned here, intends taking no steps for issuing the forty million Panama bonds authorized by the last Congress. Congress provided tbat the Secretary should not sell tbem below par, and tbe circulation against tbem ahould be subjeot to a tax ot one per cent, per annum. Seoretary Shaw believes it will be useless to try to issae bonds under this provision. It would be impossible to place tbem.
