j The people of North Carolina are
nbt ungrateful to the men who en
dured the hardships of war for what
they believed to be the best and
highest interest of the Southern
country; but the perennial habit cer
tain political candidates have of try
ing to trade on the service they ren-
uerea me country xorcy years; ago,
is tiresome in the extreme. One old
soldier who" has already received
more than he deserved, arose in
Charlotte when a-fitter man was
nominated for the office he sought,
and bewailed the ingratitude of the
people in turning down an old Con
federate who asked for a place on
the State ticket. The rank and file
of the boys in gray do not endorse
any sueh attitude. We have several
of them in Thomasville one of them
a Major and as brave a soldier as
ever shouldered a musket who
never sought an office in their lives,
and who f eel; no grievance that
younger men have come to the front
and taken control, of the affairs of
the government. It is humiliating
to see one of these perpetual office-
seekers making demands on account
of the jservicel he has rendered his

country. xt is airignt ana proper
for. the people' to take ud the cause
of an old soldier when he is capable
and giving him the honor that is his
due, but for a man to base his claims
upon the suffrage of his fellow-citi
zens upon the; fact that he was in the
war of j 61-5 is to invite defeat. That
old cry has played; The question

case if he can help it. In all his

by Bishop Walters, of the African-

as unjust. ! -
At the same time Mr. Bryan denied
another alleged interview of the
bishop that he had discussed the
appointment of negroes to office.
These declaration were called forth
by a telegram from The Baltimore
Sun inquiring as to the truth of the
statements said to have emanated
from Bishop Walters. To the pews

Mr. Cowles announces in his paper
that he "cannot be bluffed, backed

the manhood, the grit and ability to
tell from every stump in the district
what manner of man K. N. Hackett
is." This is pleasing1 prospect, for
there's nothing we plain folks like
better than a joint canvas, and Mr.
Cowles plainly means , by his words
that he is going to joint canvas with
Mr. Hackett, even if he has to hem
him. Well, we haven t seen where
Hackett is dodging, and the joint
canvas is a certainty. wiiKesDorp

One of the saddest cases that has
ever been tried in the courts of Win
ston came up before the recorder
this morning. ' ! j
A young man who graduated at
Trinity College with the class of 1S97
was arraigned for drunkenness. He
pleaded for the mercy of the court.
saying that he was a gentleman and
that this was the first experience he
had ever had in the court. He wept
great tears during the' progress of
the trial and was heart-broken over
being before the court. ! j
The history of the young man is
the sad part of the story. : He enter
ed college with great hopes for the
future and was one of the brightest
men in the class. He. belonged to
the Columbian Literary Society and
played left end on the famous Trinity
football team of .1897. He was a
theological student and was known
familiary as the "poet laureate of
ragged row." a hall in one of the
dormitories. I 1
Things went well with the young
man and he stood first in his class
and was popular with all of the
students. But once upon a time in
his college career he started to read
ing Voltaire, Paine and Ingersoll in
order to be in a better - position to
refute the agnostic teachings of
these men, but instead he himself
turned agnostic. If I
Driven almost : insane ' by his
agnostic thoughts, he turned to
drink and the appetite soon over

everything in drink.! And to-day
this man who can solve the most
subtle problems in calculus and
mgner mathematics ana who can
quote the cream of the learning of
the ages, who is skilled in all the
knowledge of the past,: is a tottering
and helpless wreck.

The oor man told this story while
his entire frame shook with sobs
He said that this j was what caused
him to drink too much last night and
that he would never djo it again.
The man s. story mbved everyone
in the court room and the court was
disposed to deal leniently with him
and he was dismissed; He left the
court room with profuse thanks,
declaring that his mother would bless

A Special sent out from Denver
says that Thomas Robertson, of
Missouri, appeared oh the street of
Denver during the Democratic Na
tional Convention with a beard four
feet long and hair which wu drnel
down over his shoulders extending
to the small of his back.
Mr. Robertson came out of hiber
nation frum Missouri's hills, where.
Rio Van Winkle-like, he has been
sleeping and letting his hair grow
ir the sake of William Jennings
Bryan, f j ; ,. j ;
iln 1S9G, when Robertson was a com
paratively young man. he made a
vow that he would let his beard and
hair grow until Bryan was elected
President of the United States.
In the fall of that year Robertson
was diasa pointed and by the time
the election was over he had devel
oped a strong black beard and a
laxuriant growth of jet black locks.
, He resolutely refused to go back
on his determination never to cut
bis hair or beard until Bryan became
the President of the United States.
Inch by inch the hair grew, year by
year i its luxuriance faded away.
Pour years passed and the deter
mined man stood firmly by his
declaration, unmoved by entreaties
of relatives and friends; 1900 came
and with it hope came again ! in
KODertson s Dreast, Put Bryan was
again defeated and Robertson's hair
continued to grow and to fade. : t
Then came 1904. By this time.
howpver with the weight of eight
added years and eight years growth
of hirsute adornment Robertson
had begun to-age, but his spirit of
hope for the ultimate triumph of his
Man of Destiny remained. Robert
son made another wager that Bryan
Would be the Democratic nominee.
Stung again was he but now, after
twelve years, Robertson is here with
all his radiant, snow-white hair, and
is one or tne eccentric attractions in
the convention city. He has come
with confidence that his whiskers
and his hair are soon to go.

Why An Elder Gave Up Cigars.
Presbyterian Standard.
A friend and elder in the church
told us some days ago that he had
not smoked a cigar in a year. He had
been smoking prior to that time an
average of five cigars a day. The
story of breaking off this habit was
this. It came into his mind one day
as he threw down the stump of a
cigar that what he paid for that cigar
would buy a New Testament for a
man who never saw the Word of
Life. The thought made a lasting
impression. Every time thereafter
as he threw away the stump of a
cigar the thought returned! with- in
creased ' force- ; Finally he could
stand it no longer and dropped the
practice, j From the day he made the
resolve he began and kept up the
practice of putting twenty-five cents
in a little bag at the close of the busi
ness of the day. This daily deposit
of the amount he had been spending
for cigars accumulated surprisingly.
and he devoted it to the work of
giving the Glorious Gospel to the
destitute mountaineers in western
North Carolina. How many! of us

Among the deacons of a Presby
terian church in an Ohio town was a
good old ! gentleman familiarly
known as "Uncle Thomas." Al
though too deaf to hear, he was al
ways in his accustomed seat at the
church, and his zeal in religious

resolutions were adopted against the
selling of intoxicating liquors in drug
