The coal strike ia Pennsylvania is giving some of the politicians of the country an abundance of trouble not as much however, as the cold weather will give some of the poor later on.

Many farm ers will hold their cotton for bet ter prices and, judging from pres ent conditions, It is remarkable to believe that they will roallze hand omely by holding.

In many sections there is com plaint of scarcity of labor and farm ers are having d fflcnlty in seeming hand J to pick cotton. Many negroes have left tae S'ate within the past two years.

THK TEOI!

Whether we shall adhere to or abandon those Ideas of goernment which have distin guished this nation from other na lions and given to its history Its peculiar charm and value is a ques tion the settlement of which can not be delayed. No other question can approach it in Importance; no other question demands such Im mediate consideration. It 19 easier to loe a reputation than to estab lish one, and this nation would find it a long and laborious task to re gain Us proud position among the nath ns, If, under the stress of temp tation, It should repudiate the self evident truths proclaimed by our heroic ancestors and sacredly treas ured during a career unparalleled in the annals of time. When the doctrine that the people are the on ly so irce of power is made secure from further attack we can safely proceed to the settlement of the numerous questions which Involve the domestic and economic wel fare of our citizens. Very truly yours, W. J. Bryan." From which it appears that Mr. Bryan's efforts are directed first to- ward upholding the doctrine that the Filipinos are the only source of poer unto themselves. 80 far so good. But may we not hope tt when this doctrine a, effects the Fillp nos is established, and Mr. Brvan then "proceeds to the settle- meat of the numerous questions which involve the domestic and economic welfare of our own citi zens' that he will turn his atten tion to the evils of militarism In N rth Carolina, and show that "the self evident truths proclaimed by our heroic ancestors" were Intend ed 10 apply to American citizens as well as to a foreign people. A correspondent, writing to one of the machine Democratic papers' in behalf of Simmons' candidacy, says he ought to be chosen for Senator because he reversed 20,000 majority to about 60,000 Democratic." "Ke Vrtrsed" is the wrong word. Can any of our readers suggest the proper w ordt Doubtless thousands who lost their votes can give the word. That demagogical sheet of the deepest dye, the News and Obser ver out, Ileroded Herad last sum mer in its advocacy of "imperial lem'' in North Carolina, and now it raises a howl about the "burden of imperialism" in the Philippines. If that sheet wants the Filipinos to have the right to govern them selves why did it join the mob in this State and aid in thwarting and d stroying the right of white men io govern tnemseivesr such con temptible hypocrisy ! Francis D. Winston, who some years ago wrote George White, col ored, that It would be a pleasure to be judge and ride the district with this negro, now says that 4 there is no doubt about the result in East ern North Carolina" in this elec tion, well, that should settle it. Winston has spoken, no doubt up on authority. The ballot stuffing machine will probably be well-aid-ed, ana that Is all that is necessa rv. The "nigger" section always goes Democratic, doncher know ! As many thousand negroes will not vote in the next election, what excuse can be given for allowing the k famous Goebd-Simmons election law to disgrace our statute bookaf The Democrats, nationally, are ap pealing for the negro vote. Will Simmons join them in this appeal, or will he continue to use the ballot stuffing machine!

Illustrating the forc of thla statement we reproduce a brief ex- tract from the speech of Bit. hop J. Milton Turner, colored, who recent ly joined the Democratic party, and only last week madeaap-ech it the national Democratic clubs asem blod in Indianapolis. He epke as follows: 4 A. great many of m ra -a who formed the majority of the argro pipulation of ibe United Htates twen'y-flre years ago have already ben promoted and have gons to their good Christian fathers, but the boys are coming forth in teeming hundred and thousands fr-ra that palladium and safeguard of Ameri can institutions, the public soh Ml svstem. of our eon c try, and unlike Unci- Tom and Aint S?ly, thy are doing their own thinking, like other young Americans, for themselves. We come with a fresh-b ru. disinter ested patriotism to put f -rth oar misrht at this time in the S ates of Indiana. O'jio, Illino c. New York and New Jersev and othr States I where we have been making tnel Presdnta for the lat tw-utv five or thirty veais, and wj til k. tats time, through our boyn. we will be able to make up such a q iota for the election of William J. Bryai that we will elect this ticket without any pos.ibiliry of McKinley defeating it." There were, according to press reports, five thousand Democrats present, and after Bishop Turner coacluded he was followed by Col. Brvan. Horrible to relate ! Ye Gods and little fishes! Where, oh where were the great negro calamity howlers, F. M. Sim mons, C B. Ay cock and Josephus Daniels ! The redshirters should have been there ! The great 'white supremacy gang in this State should have been there, too ; what an opportunity It would ha e been for them to have let loose their vials of wrath on Col. Brvan and that vast Democratic assemblage ! EX-SKCHETARY OF TREASURY JOHN G. CARLISLE, O'S ELEC TION FRAUDS. Mr Carlisle said : "It is scarcely necessary to say that I am in thorough sympathy with every effort in .Kentucky or elsewhere to s -cure the freedom of elections and an honest declaration of the will of the people, as express ed at the polls. Fraudulent voting is no more reprehensible than fraud ulent counting of the votes after they are cast. In fact, the latter is I the greatest evil oecanse the outrage aPon "J r,&at 01 n?r,aKe. 1om the people are compelled to rely for the maintenance of the right of the majority of the people to control the affairs of State. This is the basic principle of onr Republican farm of government and any system of fraud or corruption which defeats its prac tical operation will necessarily, soon er or later, result in the destruction of all the political rights of the peo ple." Fraud in elections is becoming one of the greatest issues in American polities, lor it pollutes the very source of government. As the Senatorial row is the "par- amunfc i3ue'' m0Q North Caro11- na Democrats, .bx-j uage A very has I written a letter urging the candi- I dates to agree to a postponement of the primary until after the gen- eral election, lest the division and dissension mignt result in loss or votes to Brvan and the concession- al candidates In this connection . x . . . wo r uiuywi w auggeei, mat, ac coramg to Democratic macnlne papers, no one but a Popul.st or Republican wants office in this State. For information of our read ers, however, we would State that there are four Democrats in the race for Senator. The Morganton Herald thinks that "Simmons made a grave mis- take holding on to the chairman' ship while being a candidate for Senator,'' Does the Herald intend to convey the impression that by holding on to the chairmanship a suspicion of fraud will be aroused? It would seem that our con tempo rory has some such (ear. The religious papers in the State that have taken the position against any further injection of the race Is sue into politics, can now render the cause of justice and honesty a good service by joiuing in advocacy ofthe repeal of the Simmons partisan and nefarious election law. These pa pers, wielding as they do, such won derful moral influence, should not be silent as long as such a disgraceful election law is on the statute books. There is some complaint of apa thy in politics in this State now. Well, the Simmons machine is en throned, that is to say, they will soon have the offices and they are satisfied. The fight for the Senatorship is now on. Stay still and watch the dog fight. It will be lively and in- Ueresting. PURITY OT THE BALLOT. I It nominee for Governor of Delaware, In a speech In Delaware To City, said: The parity of the ballot Is the safeguard of the State. 1 shall cor dially cooperate In every measure promoting ballot reform. I pledge my untiring effort for securing for the people of Delaware a free ballot and a fair count. We must prevent the open and shameless system of bribery and corruption now prevailing In Delaware. Laws must be enacted which will secure 1 ar the Imprisonment of the leaden, as j wen as meir creamres, in iai ia.- j moo trade. No money fine will sufflje. The people demand and must receive adequate protection agalns; the professional debauch ers of the ballot." This Is good Democratic doctrine, but it Is not the kind of Democracy we have In North Carolina. Is the Democratic party In this State de serving of the name when Its meth ods and practices are so much op posed to the general acceptation of the meaning of the term? Mr. Bry an and Mr. Ford represent true Democracy but their speeches would sound strange In North Car olina. The Mews and Observer says that "there Is only one danger in North Carolina to the Democratic party this year, and that la that the vote will be light." Why should the vote be "light" In November when it was so heavy (padded) In Aug ust! If the ballot thieves could steAl flfty thousand to put the ma- chine in power in August, why can they not do likewise In November? If they can return more votes thanreDiv that thev were, and Mr. Sim were cast, as was done in Halifax,! . ' is It not possible with unlimited capacity for stealing, to count ev ery voter whether he goes to the polls or remains at home. The Tarboro Southerner says: "The Impatience of farmers to get their cotton picked Is beginning to manifest Itself. Monday morning there were wagons here from some farms to carry out pickers, to be paid at the rate or forty cents a hundred." Why Is this general scare ty of labor in the State? Who is responsible for it? There is cer tainly a cause, and it is not difficult i to ascertain if one reflects on the character of the last two campaigns. How would you like to be a bal tot thiel and perjurer? This is a product of our modern civilization, with the party of "good "govern ment and great moral ideas" in power. Educational. How colored men may learn to read and write the Constitution of North Carolina and the Constitu tion of the United States in foujr years ; also learn the tour funda mental rules of arithmetic. The Constitutional Amendment which was carried In the election Thursday, Aug. 2, 1900, in North Carolina, requires that all colored men shall read and write the Con stitution of North Carolina, and the Constitution of the United States, before they are allowed to vote. All colored men will at once see the ne cessity of learning to read and write. The writer has been a teach- er for many years. He believes that he, with a corps of teachers such as can be secured, can teach colored men Saturday schools alone so that In four years from the present time, or by the next Presidential election 1901. any colored man of fair abili ty and industry and earnestness will be able to read and write the Constitution of North Carolina, the Constitution of the United States, and also learn addition, subtrac tion, multiplication and division. These four fundamental rules in arithmetic will enable the majori ty of working men to make and keep all of their own accounts I There are 52 Saturdays in one year. All industrious andenergct- ic colored men can attend Saturday school at least four-fifths of 52 Sat- dMavs. nr 39 Rnt.nrrln.va in n. xrta.r aad by perseverence and diligent I study in the manner here outlined it is truly believed that they will come within the requirements of i me uonsutuuonai Amendment ana be -bie to read aod wrlt- ad hft 1a gal voters of North Carolina. One year of 365 days is here divided up as a nGlP lo the scholars, and will be suggestive to them as to the amount of time they may have for various objects: 365 days in the year; 39 Saturday school days in one year ; 52 Sunday worship days in one year ; 91 recreation and va cation riaiR In nnA van.r: 1 83 ttnHv days at home without teacher in one year ; 156 days' study in Satur- day school In four years ; 208 Sun day worship days in four years ; 364 recreation and vacation days in four years ; 732 days' study at home, without teacher in four years. Saturday school will commence at the Rankin-Richards Institute, Windsor, N. Cn Saturday, October 6th. 1900. The teacher is to be paid $1 50 a Saturday. The price of a scholar will be five cents a head. It will require thirty scholars to pay the teacher at five cents a head. The session will commence at nine o'clock a m. and close at 4 p. m. It Is to be hoped that in case that the teacher does not have enough schol ars at five cents a head to pay him $1.50 a Saturday the more able scholars will make up the needed amount. Owing to the small price that is charged per head, women may also attend the Saturday school. It is the hope of the super intendent to have Saturday school at Lewlston, Colerain, Kelford and Merry Hill, Bertie county, N.C. Very respectfully, Rhodin Mitchell, Superintendent, Windsor, N. C. Immense Military Appropria tions. Washington, Oct. 8. The chiefs of the various bureaus of the War and Navy departments have sub mitted their annual estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, and it is stated that more than $200,000,000 will be asked for the support of the army aad navy. A P8QP03ITIOI TO Hi. DANIELS.

Mr. Muimous Is not now in FUklgh. When he returns he will no doubt say that the reference to him Is equally false." In connection with this state ment of Mr. Daniels, I have a prop Ositlon to make which may cUar up the whole matter. He antici pates a denial from Chairman Sim mons as regards his knowledge of the Bryan iefmal, and right there is where thiugs become interesting. According to my Information which it is needless to say, is en tirely reliable -a certain man who was on the stump for the amend ment told a friend that the letters referred to had passed between Me&rs. Daniels and Bryan. Deter mined to push the matter to a pos itive confirmation the friend of the campaigner, at his first opportuni ty approached Mr. Simmons and asked if the allegations against Mr Brvan were true, and received the mons added : "And I will state fur- At a a a t m 1 ther to you that when Mr. Bryan was last In North Carolina I begged him to say something for our amendment and he refused to do so Now, if Mr. Daniels will secure a statement from Mr. Simmons to the effect that he had no such con versation In Raleigh, on July 7th, 1900, X will disclose the name ol his informant In such a way as to leave no doubt as to the latter's identity and at the same time con vict somebody of not sticking as closely to the truth as they should. X. A REMARKABLE CIRL. Can Read Auythinjc in Print aud Doesn't Know the Alphabet. Franklin Press. Nervia Still well, the little daugh ter of Alec Stillwill, who lives on Tu8quittee, about ten miles from town, is a source of great wonder to all who see her on account of the fact that she can road anything in the way of print that is put before her, although she cannot spell a word nor does she know the letters of the alphabet. Her parents cannot read. The girl is eight years old. Her parents or no one else knew that she could read until she was four years old, for up to that time there had been no book or paper about the house. Butonedaya traveling sa'esman came by the house and threw a cir cular or almanac over in the yard, and Nervia picked it up and began to read it as fast as she could talk. Since then plenty of people have heard her. In fact, she reads any thing you ask her, no matter what the subject is, though she observes no punctuation marks, reads as fast as she can speak the words until she gots out of breath. Then she takes a new breath and starts in again. She has been going to school now more than a month and has not yot learned her letters, being a very dull student except as to read ing. The case puzzles all who have seen t he girl , for no one can under stand how she knows how to pro nounce the words without knowing any of the alphabet. "A Mighty Rich Mail." A writer in the Outlook describes a ride he once took with an old farm er In a New England village, du ring which some of the men of the neighborhood came under criti cism. Speaking of a prominent man In the village, he said: "He is a man of means." "Well, sir, the farmer replied, "he hasn't muoh money, but he's mighty rich." "He has a great deal of land, then! ' I asked. 'No, sir, hasn't got much land, either, but he is mighty rich." The old farmer, with a pleasant smile observed my puzzled look for a moment, and then explained: 4You see he hasn't got much mon ey, and he hasn't got much land, but still he Is rich, because he nev er went to bed owing any man a cent in all his life. He lives as well as he wants to live, and he pays as he goes ; he doesn't owe anything, and he isn't afraid of anybody ; he tells every man the truth, and does his duty by himself, his family and his neighbors ; his word is as good as his bond, and every man, woman and child in the town looks up to him and respects him. No, sir, he hasn't got much land, but he's a mighty rich man, because he's got all he wants " LA Virginia Farmer's Plan For " Curing Meat. The best time to slaughter hogs for farm or family purpose-' is when the weather is dry, coot at.d frosty. After the hogs are nicely butchered let them dry and cool out nicely before you com mence cutting up After they are nice ly cut into shoulders, middlings and hams, salt with nice salt, a little salt petre mixed with it, on a platform Af-ier-it has'remained in salt about six weeks, hang the meat up in close, dark smoke-house, and as soon as hung up smoke the meat with green hickory wood until it is a nice brown color I he preservative power of the smoke is owing to the small amount of creosote it contains. After it is properly smok ed and dried, flies nor bugs must not be allowed access to it. To prevent this put the hams and shoulders into thick paper sacks, securely bound up and hang up. If the sides are not put in paper sacks, they can be put in a box with layers ol snelled corn between the sides and the box covered. Robt. C Allison, Olade Springs, Ya.
