Big, flashy headlines hay announced
that the ci tit ;ns want Bam Jones sup
pressed. A letter addressed to the chief
of polios signed bj five persona, one of
which it a saloon keeper, asAag that
Sam Jones ba suppressed. The chief
replied that he could not do anything.
That I had violated no law I told tbe
audience last night that the mayor of
Savannah found himself in the samef
condition when he wanted me sup
pressed and called the city attorney in
to oonsultatioa to know how it could be
done. The city attorney replied :
"How are you going to do itT It would
take standing army to suppress him."
While my tight hand bath its cunning
and my tongue shall wag, I propose to
fight everything that ever wrecked
human life or broke a mother's heart.
I see Clark Howell hat formally an
nounced and that the Joint debate will
begin bttween the two "moguls" in
January. I am sure the people will
eo joy seeing the fur fly, but I am afraid
the boys will get out of fur before the
sf awn is over and will look more like
Mexican dogs than Newfoundlands
But in the meantime tbe people will
gat information. Tbe more intellect
ually and conscientiously we vote, the
better it is for government. When a
man puts his intellect and his con
science into the ballot box he is doing
the best voting it it possible for him
to do. ' .
I am sorry . I cannot atend the
session of the North Georgia conference
at Newnan. Among other things, I
suppose orthodoxy and heterodoxy will
be on trial this week. After all, isn't
it well enough occasionally to take our
bearings and see where we are "at"
theologically, and no one, perhaps,
will be hurt in tbe scuffle. A fellow
may move along smoothly and get out
of line with hit crowd in the theological
world as well at in the political world.
Tom Watson it out of line with south-
orthodoxy, which it altogether
democratic), and hit . political views
have outlawed him with many. I
have noticed this much in my rounds,
that there is a mighty narrow territory
that divides orthodoxy and hetrodoxy,
and it is a very easy matter for the
picket lines to get into the engagement,
but really it will be only a fight along
the picket lines. The great rank and
file of the army ain't going to fight.
It is the business of the Army of the
Lord to fight the devil and all his
works. It is a tort of bad war that
seta the soldiers of the army fighting
each other, but there always have been
civil wars and family fights, and I sup
pose they will continue until the end.
The Bible teaches us that offenses must
come, but sayt. "Woe onto them by
whom they come." It it not to much
the row, but the question it who got it
up, I suppose tbe man who did it
would be bard to find. But this will
be a bloodless war, and I suppose they
will shoot at one another's headt and
not at each other's hearts.
I keep up also with the cotton reports
and prices current. Nine million and
a half bales, perhaps, is a little low in
estimate, but an eleven million-bale
crop ought to bring anywhere from .10
to 12 cents a pound. The ginnert'
report was a little srprising. Whenever
cotton leaps 85 a bale in five minutes
there has something dropped, and it
has dropped on somebody. But, after
all, the vantage ground the southern
farmer has today is his ability to hold
and bis unwillingness to tell when
thingt don't go bit way.
More and more the farmer will com
mand the situation, if ' he hat the
bility first, and secondly tbe wisdom.
But I don't care however much tense a
fellow has got, if he must pay hit bills
to the merchants or hit note at the
bank, the old laying holds good
'Solomon with all his wisdom, or 8am
son with all his strength, could not pay
dollar unless he had it to pay." I
am glad to see the growing fact in the
south that the farmer it no longer a
pauper, but it in position to take care
of himself.
We are looking forward to the Christ
mas holidays now. The tempting thow
indowt and balks of Christmas toys
and presents were never to large in the
history of America. For the next thir-
days millions and millions will be in.
vested in Christmas gifts. I am glad to
note also that lest it being spent for
firecrackers and foolishness, and mots
of the gifts are substantial and useful.
We ought to exercise common tense in
gifts and presents at much as anything
else. A package of fire-crackers,
painted doll and a toy pistol is a poor
gift to remind a ohild, that this is the
best friend that the children ever bad.
I am first and last and always for a
good time, but in having a good time,
let't not hurt our conscience or charac
ter. -.
THB CtUBia COOK I.AT.
Sarprlslaa Haaakm sr Pswple Are SkaM

H.lelgh Oor. Charlotte Observer,
We here in Raleigh have bewailed
our fate from time to time t regards
the negro cook. She is named in tbe
singular raUr than, in the plural. The
other evening the writer got fresh in
sight into what a lady very touchingly
referred to at "the cook trouble." She
said, "I can assure you that tome of the
best families in thit town are oookin
on little oil ttovea, etc., and cutting out
their kitchen ttovea. You ask me why
and I answer that it is because it saves
the trouble of making the fire, cleaning
out the stoves and keeping the kitchen
clean. Bo in this town there are scores
of kitchens unused. You would be sur
prised if I were to tell you 0 the nam
ber of people who almost live on canned
goods. No doubt tbe grocers could give
you a tip on this if they would do to,
see only one remedy tor tbe trouble,
and that it the almost total abandon
ment of negro servants and the taking
iiollt of the kitchen by the lady of the
house and her daughters, as in the case
in say rural New England. I do not for
myself tee any prospects of getting
white girls to help in the kitchen and
about the house. I wish 1 they could be
nad. I wish tidy Swede or German
girls could be brought here to take hold
of thit tort of thing, for I tell you we
are worn out with the irresponsible ne
gro cooks, many of whom make it
matter of pride not to work."
A lady from Durham, to whom this
conversation wat repeated, said, "Bad
11 1 understand the conditions are in
Raleigh, I want to say that they are
worse in Durham. There are tome
amusing features among all the annoy'
ances. Not very long ago lady of my
acquaintance itarted out to look. for a
cook and at she passed along the street
met two gorgeously-attired mulatto wo
men. . When she asked one of them if
she knew wheie she could get a cook
the mulatto replied with a. toes of her
much befeathered bat and head that
they were out looking for cooks them
selves, whereupon the other colored
lady, in the airiest way imaginable, said
to the unfortunate white woman, "Do
you want to hire ?" The white woman
was so fUbergasted that she fairly ran
all the way home and when sbe got
there wat ready to cry from pure an'
noyanoe."
The colored lady It the mistress
of
the situation. She works or not at she
chooses, while the white woman baa to
work. Now thit it said not in Jest, but
in earnest, and Just at the tale wat
told, but there it a graver tide still to
all thit business. Labor conditions
have changed wonderfully in the last
few years, and if they get to be worse,
what are the people going to do T

Charlotte Chronlole.
Mr. Wade H. Harris, the versatile
and prolifio editorial writer of the
Evening Chronicle, had this to say
yesterday afternoon :
"And here la B?d Buck who waa
'raited' in Providence township, writ
ing 'quail are plentiful.' Get out I
Go into tbe country' and talk about
'quail and the people will rocks) him.
Red Buck it ' taking on too much
ttyle."
Seventy yean ago, when the editor
of the Chronicle waa a little boy, the
good people of Cabarrus said "pat-
tridge," but a few years later they be
gan to tay 'partridge,' but now Col.
Hal Puryear, one of the wisest hunters
in the land, sayt "quail."
Things have changed since Brother
narria was a- noy. ai a nau-grown
lad he went about in his shirt tail, but
now the boyt wear store clothes and
"biled" shirts. Beef
When Mr. Brother Harris was a boy
they had "school breakings" in Cabar
rut, but later they were "exhibitions"
and today "confmenoe-mints" are all
the go. Yet, Brother Harris, you are
living too close. You are working too
hard f You mutt travel morel
When Brother Harris wat a boy the
country people had "parties" but now
they have "entertaln-minta." As a
boy Brother Harris danced, but if his
sons were back in the rural districts of
Cabarrus they would play "Charlie" or
"Steal partners." Things have
changed since the editor of the Chroni
cle waa a boy.
If Brother Harris were to go to the
country and tay "there goes a pat-
bridge" when a quail flew up, the boyt
would laugh at hint. He it living in

"Death was fast appioachlng," writes
Ralph F. Fernando, of Tampa, Fla.r
describing bis fearful race with death,
"as a result of liver trouble and heart
disease, which had robbed me of sleep
and of all interest in life. I had tried
many different doctors and several med
icines, but got no benefit, until I began
to nse Eleotrio Bitters. So wonderful
was their effect, that in three days I
felt like a new man, and to-day I km
cored of all my troubles." Ooaranteed
