I have been a strong Bran man; Dave doi.e a great deal of shouting and uollowing for him tor the last four or five years; read his great, patriotic speeches, which he made all over the laud, denouncing corruption and up uo ding honesty and square dealing in everything. His speeches sounded like those of Jelleraon, Washington, Pat rick Henry and others of Revolutiona ry fame; but when he went down ir. Kentucky to help Goebel out in his dis honest methods ij rule that State by fraud and force, 1 began to suspicion the patriotism of Mr. W. J.; and since he has refused to rebuke his party in North Carolina for doing worse to their own kindred and brethren in the State of .North caroliua than the McKinley ites have done to far off strangers in Cuba and tlie t'hilippine Islands, my auspicion has been confirmed that he will not practice what he preaches, and my once grand admiration for him has gone. Thomas Meais. Kehukee, N. C, Sept. 23rd, 1900. DilVerent Ox Gored, See'.' f Hickory Mercury. The Honorable Frederika Oids spends valuable money in wiring the Charlotte Observer that Mr. Simmons claims a majority in the Senatorial primary of 50,000 it the vote was taken uow. Those charming decimals seem to have found lodgment in the chairman's brain; but we beg to remind him and his obsequi ous correspondent that the coming pri mary is not one of that sort of elec tions in which the figures will lit his precise forecast. This may be unfor innate for the chairman; but the rest of us have an interest in Halifax just now. .Morgan ton Herald. the reader can see by the above that some other man s ox is likely to be gored this time. The above gives Boss oiniiiiuiis to understand that this is a different tight; he could count majori ties to suit lorecasts in the last ehc lion ; he could count the Halifax ne groes solid bis way; but this time, we will see that we have an honest elec turn, and that the Simmons machine shall not count all the negroes its way this time, for part of "dem Halifax niggers 'longs lo uses." Kditor Pearsou virtually accuses the machine of not being lair in the last election. It is all right for him to say it, but when we say such things, some little two-by-tour healer i ready to say it is a lie. But it is true; and eve ry honest man who has invested a day's reading of the question, knows it, and, like Pearsou, will admit it. Carr's friends all over the state will say so loo afler the jninunons machine gets iu its slieght of hand performance at the primaries. Tillman's .significant Confession Chicago Record.

Instead of loaning American gold to Russia and foreign countries in order to build up monetary alliances for war purposes, how much better it would be if the money was em ploy ed in building up our own coun try. There-is plenty of room for in vestments of American money in the undeveloped West. The great sur plus of money in New York citv is wes ern money money sent to New York by western banks. The money belongs to the United States and it onvht to stay here. If these loans become a regular thing, it won't be long before there will be a shortage' of gold again in Wall Street. This whole foreign loaning business is nothing more or less than a scheme to create a tight money market. Maiden Cotton Mills.

The merits and dements of the candidates are be ing treely discussed by their friends Gen. carr is demanding a free '"ballot aud fair couno" which shows that he distrusts Simmous aud bis machine. It is being boldly cnarged by the friends of Carr in aud out of the newspapers that aimmoas is a ballot box siull'er. Of course this part of it is not news to the Kepublicans aud Populists, for they have been charging this for years. 1 here must be something in Simmon career wnicb makes people think he is a ballot box stutter or else his own par Li 'nends would not charge inm with it We suspect that lien, carr and his friends will realize before loug thai what the Kepublicans and Populists have been charging against tue Min moiis machine is true, and will know how people feel who have been out raged at the ballot box.

Much of this enormous crop comes from tne Chesapeake. More Chan twice the amount of oys- ters produced by all foreign lands put togetner comes from Chesa- peake alone, according to "Every- bouV. In the past century itts output in these mollusks has been about 400,000,000 bushels, selling for $2o0,000,000. The industry is the support of 225,000 persons out side of Baltimore city, which is the greatest o ster market in the world. It nas been reckoned by the Uni ted States Commiss.on that the available oyster-growing area in the Chesapeake is about one thou sand .square miles, and that with proper cultivation this area would be worth $100 an acre yearly. Al ready these wonderful oyster beds Dog in to show tne results of reck tees overfishing and approaching exhaustion. There are three branch es to tne oyster business raw shucking, steaming and the sale of the mollusks in the shell. The OUbiness of shucking raw oysters employs 32,000 persons in Haiti more, who get twenty ceuts per "cup'' of nine pints for the meats ol tue oysters they open In the saixio city are prepared nine-tenths of tne world's product of canned oys:ers. Oue thousand bushels of shucked oyster leave about 1,100 bushels of stieils, which accumulate in great neaps about the shucking houses. L'he oyster shells landed on the snores of Marland during the past ninety years have been reckoned at 12,00,OOU tons a quantity twice sullicieut to overload and sink ev ery calling vessel, steam vessel, ca nal boat and barge in America. "Somebody Forgets. A little boy, living in the mosi poverty stricken seetion of a great cu, found his way into the mission Sao oath-school and became a Cnris- nan. Oue day not long ago some one triad to shake the child's faith by asking him pnzziing questions. If God really loves you, why d-jeen't He take better care ot yon? Wny doesn't he tell somebody to itjud you a pair of shoes, or else coal jnuugh so tnat you can keep warm ihio wintert" Tue boy thought a moment ana then said, as tears rushed to his eyes: ''l guess He does tell somebody, and somebody forgets."

Up to the preeent time the coal strike has been a succession of vic tories for the miners. Mine after mine has been closed, until few mines are uow lu operation, and all lines of work in the great authra clte coal reglou are crippled. Not one man out of the lsy.uio members of the miners' union has deserted the ranks and returned to work. The tea per cent Increase of wages and the powder reduction proved to be a bait that caught no tlsh. Tho New York conference of the hard coal magnates last Thursday was presided over by J. Pierpont Morgan, head of the coal trust and friend of Mark Hanna, and it Is said, better terms to the miners were talked over and the question of recognizing the United Mine Worker's Union thoroughly dis cussed. It is believed that before many days these questions will be settled satisfactorily to the miners. At all events, united labor must be recogoiezd. President Mitchell and miners' officials say there is no truth In the itatemeut that tne miners on strike or their families are in distress. They have issued a card to the pub dc to ihat effect. This report, they charge, is circulated by the mine jwners or their hired detectives for the purpose of weakening the posi tion of the miners. It is on a par, vhey say, with the forged notice puporting to have been signed by Mitchell for the miners to return Co work, and with the persistent rumor that President Mitchell has agreed to accept a ten per cent In crease in wages for the striking mi ners Much indignation is felt here that forgery and other underhand methods snould be used by mine owners or their mine bosses to mis lead the striking miners. Geu. Gobin has ordered the troops u return home. Good order has prevailed in the coal regions, the only acts of violence that have oc- ourrod being instigated by the hir ed detectives of the mine opera tors to injure the strikers' cause. Intimidation in Davie County. Davie Record. A few years ago in this county, our Democratic friends hurled whis key at Republicans ; they said Bai ley's licker carried the county, and it was often discussed among them if it would not be advisable to fight the "devil'' with Are. From all ac counts, some of them are making use of licker for all its worth. We are informed that at a certain place jugs were very much In evidence during the campaign, and even "Democratic niggers" were turned out by its potent effect. One thing surprises us. A certain candidate on the Democratic ticket in this county was heard to make threats against certain men if thoy voted against him. That man is a mem ber of the church, possibly an offl cer in the church, yet he allowed bis anxiety for office to induce him to violate the laws of the State, and the laws of the United States. These things must stop, the good people should put the evidence before the grand jury and prosecute these in dmidators, and if necessary take them into the Federal Court. Many poor men were kept from voting the Republican ticket, for fear of losing their jobs or places. Ood savo the State from such men and such methods. Is He at Set Sea'. Times-Mercury. Col- A. M.

Tuts is perfectly simple il the Me Kialey odds fail. All professional betting men who make a book do it. It is called "rounding" or evening he book. The information comes to The llr tld from one who is believed to be perfectly trustworthy and to have eiceptional souroea of information. Oorioualy, the story cannot be vari tioj, but The Herald can show how Mr. C.-oker and hia aaaweiatea can do this if the odds fall as they have fallen since Jane -o. The odds have enanged siao Me Kioley's nomination as follows: J uue 25, i to 1 and 4 to 1 July 10, II to 1 J uiy 2o, .1 to 1J Augnst 15, 2J to l Since the last date Republican of fers of 21 to 1 have been many and Democrats inclined to demand 3 to 1 autil now, when, probably is fijeoced by Croker's alleged wagers, mey are taking 2J to 1 freely, and odds are inclined io fall. Oae of the heaviest oetting men in New York said yes teiday be expected to see the odds go down to 8 to 5 in thirty days. Asa matter of fact, Mr. Croker's syndicate has placed some bets at odd ot 1 to 2i . Here is one example showing how this syndicate now backlug Bryan can bet it the odds are as predicted bove 8 to 5 on McKinley thirty days hence, or on October 20, and win, no matter who is elected.

Mr. baimett ire- quenUy heard the performers in a circus make the remark, "I wish 1 was in Dixie," as soon as the North ern climate began to be too severe for the tent life which they followed. This expression suggested the song. "Dixie's Lnd." It made a hit at once in New York, and was speedily carried to all parts of the Union by numerous bands and wandering mm itrels. In the fall of 1860 Mrs. John Wood sang it in New Orleans in the burlesque of "Pocahontas, ' and be fore a week had passed the whole cr ty had taken it up. A New Orleans publiuner saw possibilities in the mu die, and without tne authority of the composer bad the air harmonized and re-arranged, issuing it with words embodying the strong South ern feeling then existing m New Or leans.

I never once tnought that I would live to see the tl .ne, when there would oe a set of titate officers, from th Highest to the lowest, declared elec ted, that 1 as an honest man and an uuuible citizen, could not honor 01 respect. Bat such will be the case, if tne so called election stands, after 1900. I now, 60 years of age. have sect different parties in power, but how aver inucn they might differ with m politically, I felt after they were elec ted, mat it was my dnty to respect and nonor them as rnlers of my State, oecause they had been elected there by a majority vote of the people ol North Carolina. Bo 1 did respect ihem and it was a pleasure to me toN a a at fk i:.r a : at I do so. And if in Raleigh, during the sitting of the Legislature, it was a pleasure to me to visit the two booses tnd ail the State oOoers, although a large majority of tnem might have belonged to a political party I did not affiliate with. Yes. I respected tbem wherever I met them and felt ojore or less proud of them a orb cers 1 srrand old North Carolina. Will it bj so after IJOJT No' a ho us and timer, ao! UiW sad 1 lee. JVueo I sav ao! Bat why can I not respect ibose who, it is said, mus rule dear old North Carolina after 19001 Ans. Because very few, if any, will oe mere, as the enoice of liu peopk? The larsre maj rity of them will b tbre by fraud, tores and m- timidatiou!

(Jan 1 respect any state o ul cer, wno may accept a petition, at knowing at the time, that bis place was seen red for him by fraud of tbe deepest dytt No! never, never! Bui igain. Why ean 1 not respect Ibose tbat may control North Carolina af tr lyoo? Ans. Becaas I have been taugat by the laws of Nortn Caroli na, passed by honest men who belo office by the votes of the peoplr, and not ov fraud, that ' Persons wno re eeive stolen goodi, knowing them to be stolen, are equally guilty with the person or persons wno aid the stealing.'' Tneretore a man who ac cepts an othce, high or law, which has been stolen lor him and he know ing it. Is as guilty as the election thief, wno did the stealing. Hsnee I am ashamed of men who must ac- eordlcs: to the laws of North Caroli na oe classed with thieves, therefore I eaunot honor them! This is a sad. aad. state of affairs - v" .v o 1 . , l... n in North Carolina, bat I have this consolation and 1 am proud of It t. I did nn thin ir to brine aooui this sad condition, but did ail I eould to prevent it. Qco. E. Hcirr. In Hickory Mercury.
