Following fs the platform ttiopted by tbe Kepubucan elate convention at Greensboro last weiji : The RepubHcatmparty of North Caro lina, in convention assembled at Greensboro, N. C on this the 18th day of May, 1904, hereby endorses and ratifies the principles and policies enum erated in the platforms of the national Republican pay, adopted in 18'JO and 1900. In spite of Democratic oppo sition the policing arid principles of our party have been written into law, and we point with pride to its achievements. It has blessed our country with unpar alleled prosperity. It has carried hap piness into every home. It has ex panded our commerce. It has broad ened our territory. It has made su preme our inlluence at home and. abroad. It has raised our credit until to-day it is the highest in the world. It has ever stood for universal freedom ytnd has carried the blessings of liberty into the islands of tbe sea. It has held our honor unsullied, and our flag un tarnished, until we have talce our place as the arbiter of the nations of the world. Throughout its long lease of power the Presidents and leaders of the Republican party have always been equal to the greatest demand, and now Use cguntry with all of its vast and va ried interests lias a Republican Presi dent in tbe person of Theodore Roobb velt who has shown himself to be en titled to the confidence of the nation, and for these reasons we hereby endorse his administration and pledge our earnest support for his nomination and elec tion. We endorse the Republican adminis tration in protecting the rights of the people against monopolies, trusts and other unlawful combinations. We endorse the Republican party for its action in constructing the Panama canal, and tbe people of the United States from all sections, especially from the South, are to be congratulated upon tbe favorable prospects of so soon se curing that great interoceanic waterway which will give new impetus to the na tion's commerce, and prove a blessing to the country at large, and especially to the South. The Republican party favors the es tablishment of the Appalachian Park, and we promise "to use all honorable means to bring about legislation estab lishing the same. We favor the education of tbe masses, bat denounce the practice of the pres ent Democratic State administration in its efforts to make the common schools part of the Democratic machine, to be run for partisan purposes, until their usefulness has been greatly im paired and those mostly in need of ed ucation largely deprived of their ad vantages. We pledge ourselves to the correction of these abuses and to amend the law so as to remove our free schools, as far at possible, from the realm of politics, and thus prevent their being subverted to partisan advantages, and to give to the By stem an elasticity that will inure to the best interests of those mostly in need of their help.. Ihe Kepublican party favors gen erous public aid to all charitable insti tutions of the State, and the enactment of pension laws more liberal and just to the old Confederate soldiers. We endorse the foreign policy of ex pansion of the Republican party, by which Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines have been annexed to the nited States, thus opening up a new market jo the manufacturers of this country. We endorse the Republican party for liberating the Cubans from Spanish tyranny and oppression, and point with pride to their success and progress since the establishment of theRepublican form of government. We denounce tha policy of the Dem ocratic party in their efforts to destfby ti&sehey cannot use for partisan ends, which has resulted in drivingpoth I9 bor and capital from our State, thereby decreasing the sources of taxation at the very time theiradministration nas bankrupted our treasury. We denounce the management of the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail road and hotel by the Democratic party a incompetent, corrupt and ex travagant, and declare that we favor the leasing of that property, and pro mise the people of North Carolina that elected to power we will forever put an end to such scandals aa have been recently brought to light in connection with its management. We denounce the Governor's star chamber investiga tion of that road and declare that tbe secret and clandestine - Investigation into it affairs was an outrage and a isgrace, and one which the citiiens of this State should not tolerate. We denounce tbe hypocrisy of the Democratic party in their effort to de-! . . ceive the people by saying that they have not raised tbe rate of taxation while they have forced an increased valuation on all property by legislation, have created a commission for this ex press purpose, and have thereby largely increased the burden of taxation, upon our people. As an evidence of thrt we ask every taxpayer jo compare his re c.ipt for the taxes of 1903 with those of former years. We denounce that policy - of the Democratic party that continuously and insiduously, attacks local self-gov ernment by legislative appointments of justices of the peace, country commis sioners and other officers all over the State, and demand that all matters per taining to local affairs and the county government be left to entirely with th'e voters of the communities and coun ties concerned. We denounce frauds, robberies and intimidation in elections, and we appeal to the honest citizens of North Carolina to use their best efforts in see ing that the cmiog elections is free corruption, and is conducted fairly and squarely in all respects. We denounce that spirit of anarchy in the Democratic party that prompted our Qovernor to say he would have emptied the State Treasury in defense of those indicted for election frauds be fore one of them should be convicted; we condemn the Democratic machine for defending criminals at the expense Lpf the taxpayers. We condemn the Democratic party for its unwarranted efforts to impeach our Supreme Court judges for partisan purposes We favor, as we have ever favored, just and equal laws for the promotion of temperance, but we denounce the Democratic Legislature for the enact ment of the Watts law for the reason that it was conceived and enacted for political advantage, under the guise of temperance reform, and for its unjust and unfair discrimination in conferring rights and privileges upon the inhabi tants of incorporated towns and cities which it denies to the citizens of the country. But in pursuance of our time honored policy of local self-govern ment we favor a law which submits to the qualified voters of the several coun ties and incorporated towns of the State, at their request, the question of whether they shall or shall not be per' mitted to make and sell intoxicating liquors, and the faithful execution of their will as expessed at tbe ballot box. We denounce the present State admin istration as being the most extravagant in the history of North Carolina. The year 1903 cost the taxpayers the enormous sum of $2,201,604.31, or nearly as much as waspaid out during the entire four years of Governor Vance's administation from 1877 to 1881. We denounce the policy of the Democratic party that has left as leg -try to future generations and addi tion to our Slate debt of more than $500,000. We cordially invite all persons, irre spective of party affiliations, who are opposed to oppressive taxation, opposed to star chamber methods, opposed to clatg legislation, opposed to exlrava gance and mismanagement, and all persons who favor a more economic administration of our State and county affairs, who favor leasing the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, and who believe in expansion, sound money and protection to unite with us in over throwing tbe Democratic machine in North Carolina.. Kir. Odrll's Handsome Gilt. Greensboro, N. C, May 23. Mr. J. A. Odell, of this city, makes a gift of 15,000 to GreenBboro Female College rebuilding and endowment fund.

He said he'd see fair play and went in with her.- She walked up to the station master and spat on her hands and said: "Yo1 know about that hog! It's Bix bits or I'll light ontoyo'!" "Why, Mrs. Ramsay, I don't own tbe railroad!" "Six bits or a tackle!" she replied. "I'll send your claim up to head quarters to be acted on."

Ham, of Georgia, tells the following story on himself: "I was at a little old-fashioned town in the southern part of my State, where they didn't know that Lee had sur. rendered. I was shown to my room in the little inn they called 'the hotel,' by an old uncle who shultled as he walked and whose scant locks were as white as the cotton he was evidently used to picking. In a place like this town every one you meet wants to know your name and takes a great interest in your personal history and business. The old uncle deposited my suit case, and before he turned to go, I asked him to fetch a pitcher of water. " 'All right, boss,' he said, 'whut (nought yo' name be?' "I laughingly told him it was Ham 'just remember the best part of the hoe,' I said, 'and you'll have it.' He ahullled off down the hall and I had just about dozed into the land of nod when I was brought back to conscious ness by a sharp rap at the door and beard the old marrsay: "Heah's yo' water, Marse Cbitlins.' " Valel Was Sure Tliri'd PH. Pittsburg Gazette. "A friend of mine down South," said John Sharp Williams, indulged in the luxury of a negro valet, or body servant, as we call them.

The special cotton exhibit at the World's Fair, which covers a space of more than 10,000 faet and is located in the center of the Palace of Agricul ture, has been entirely completed. The purpose of tbe exhibit, which is parti cipated in by all cotton-growing States, is to present an epitome of the cotton industry. It begins with the preparation of the soil, then covers seeding, cultivation, harvesting, baling, and ends with tin delivery at the factory door. All the tools, implements and machinery which are necessary for the demonstraiion o( these processes are shown. In, addition, the products and by-products of cotton and cotton seed are full demonstrated. The cotton seed, for years considered of no value, has now become almost as important in its relations to com merce as the lint itself. The extraction of oil, its refining afad preparation as food; the value of the meal, both as a fertilizer and as a food for animals; tbe hulls and their value as a food for ani mals and use in other ways, are all in terestingly shown, to say nothing of the soap and leSBer articles which find a place in the marts of tbe world. Texas, the largest producer of cotton in the world, has taken the lead in this enterprise, and the magnificent dome which ornaments the center of the ex hibit is surmounted by a figure hold ing aloft a lone Btar, the emblem of that State. Mississippi has a statue of King Cot tou enthroned, which is more than thirty feet in height. This is surround ed by growing fields of the fleecy staple, iu which may be seen four or five figures harvesting the crop. Missouri, Indian Territory, Georgia and North Carolina all join in this mag nificent presentation, the latter State showing the processes, including the cloths manufactured in that State. The ornamentation of this exhibit is in white and gold and forms a most conspicuous figure in the Palace of Agriculture. 'It Always Has." "liy the way, Senator," said an anx ious Capitol employe to Senator Allison, "when do you think Congress will ad journ?" "I can't say," the Iowan replied. "But it will adjourn soon, won't it?" "As to that," the Senator replied, "I am reminded of the story of the man who went out riding and was caught in a rainstorm. He didn't know whether to go on or seek shelter, and he applied to a farmer, who was plodding along the road. 'My good man,' he said, 'do you think it is likely to stop raining?" "Well," said the farmer, 'it always has.' " Cnred Ills OTotber of Klieumallsm. "My mother has been a sufferer for many years with rhenmatism," says W. H. Howard, of Husband, Pa. "At times she was unable to move at all, while at all times walking was painful. I pre sented her with a bottle of Chamber lain's Pain Balm and after a few applica tions she decided it was the most won derful pain reliever she had ever tried, in fact, she is never without it now and is at all times able to walk. An occa sional application of Pain Balm keeps away the pain that she was formerly troubled with." For sale by M. L. Marsh.
