Democratic Banner of Dunn thus de clares its independence "We do not know who it is that has been charginj the Banner with being owned by a syndicate and run in the interest of some politician. "Who ever it is though, we suppose he will go way back and sit down It is mighty easy to charge newspapers with being run in the in terest of some politician or being own ed by some political combination. There is too much of this, kind of talk at tne present time. If a paper takes a bold stand on any subject the cry is imme diately raised that it is the organ of this or that influence and. strange to eay. this cry is most apt to come from some newspaper man. There are in this st&te certain newspaper men who begin to cry out "bought up'' as soon as another paper expresses an opinion differently from that they entertain in their columns. Wbere there is so much cry of bought and subsidized news papers, one is apt to come to the conclusionthat it is a guilty conscience that is responsible for the continual cry. The men who are constantly raising .this cry against other papers are not themselves above suspicion. Their past records are such that they should be careful how they charge others with dickering with politicians and others who want newspaper sup port. Treachery is an inherited char acteristic. In runs in the blood. Per haps it cannot be easily eradicated. If this be so those afflicted in this man ner should be careful how they charge others with possessing the same fault. The two telephone lines from Wadesboro to Norwood will be con solidated and a switchboard placed at Cedar Hill 4 The line ffrom, the river to Norwood, by this place, has been sold to the Rocky River Springs company. Tney are building a line from the springs to Hamburg-, inter secting the old line to Norwod. The above paragraph is from the letter of ii county correspondent of The Wadesboro Messenger and Intel ligencer. We publisih it to show the rapid strides central North Carolina has made in the last few years. Thirty-five years ago there was not a railroad in Anson county. All travel, except on sta.ge lines, was in private conveyance. Now tine county has a perfect network of telephone lines. Farmers in any one section of the county can sit in their homes and talk with friends in any other parts. Rural free delivery mail routes are also bringing the country people into closer intimacy. The time will soon come When the man on his farm has xs many conveniences as his friend in town or city. Did you pay your poll taxes yester day:? If you did not. you had better not let next week go by without doing so. The time is getting mighty short. The first thing you know it will be the 2d of May. and it will be too 4-ate then. HOW TO GAIN FLESH The life of food is the fat within it the more fat the more real benefit from athe food; that is why cod liver oil is a powerful builder of flesh. Scott's Emulsion of pure cod liver oil solves the problem of how to take cod liver oil. That is one reason why doctors have been pre scribing Scott's Emulsion for all wasting diseases, coughs, colds and bronchitis for almost thirty years. We'll send you a sample free npon request. C0TT & DOWNE, 409 Pearl Street, New York, nr.. Txrv-if o.v.Drt Ttluttz asks "who VTinm what .Tudere Parker stands for? We do for the nomination Salisbury Globe. There seems to toe a diversion in the Kluttz family. The old man, who has so acceptably represented hs district in congress and who has stood, as con gressman until he has grown tired oC the place, is a good -sound democrat His son is one of the Hearst boomers He belongs to that self-appointed com mittee which is trying to work up a sentiment in behalf of the New York journalist in this state. At least he was trying to do so a while back, but we have heard nothing of the affair for some time. The move must have col laDsed. We do not hear any thing more about it these days. The commit tee, which was, we believe, composed oC ex-gold bug democrats, most of whom took to extreme free silver ideas be. cause they were disappointed in securing the offices they thought they were en titled to under Mr. Cleveland, has about quit business. 'For a while there was a good deal of talk about Hearst in this state. It looked as if he was going to develop much strength. The committee which was working up his boom seemed to have good sailing ahead of him. We confess we .got somewhat scared. We were afraid the Old North State was going to tumble out of the democratic, line We are glad to know that our fears were groundless. If there was any danger it was only temporary. The people soon came to their senses. If for a moment they had any Wea of following after Hearst and his populistic holdings they soon saw the error of their way and again fell in line for true and sound democracy. We are glad to say that we believe North Carolina can be counted on by the democrats. She fell by the way once or twice in the past when the people were deceived by false friends and some of these who helped lead her astray are now the most blat ant, loud-mouthed democrats, de nouncing every body who does not agree with them who for selfish pur poses advocated measures hurtful to the best interests of the neople. But as a rule, the average Tar Heel can be counted on to be true to himself and to his people. And this is one of the times when he can be counted on North Carolina will be found solidly demo cratic this year, and her democracy will be of the right kind. She will be for that which will be of the greatest good for the greatest number of the people. TarHeel democrats will be found willing to give up their cherished desires ana to forego preferences as .to candidates for the sake Of the party and in the in terest of party success. To the main principles of the party they will ad here. For non-essentials they are not sticklers. They are the kind of dem ocrats who win men who stand firm on party principles, but who recognize differences of opinion on matters which are not of importance and who toler ate such differences of opinions: Speaking of the south ern Riiffrap-p amendments, which have practically now Deen endorsed by the supreme court, but which the Maisstachutis reactionaries are still criticising, The rsrooKiyn Jiragie says: A million or half a million negroes- imposed ion Massachusetts would drive tJhie "Ra.v State to "the Mississippi plan." And that is even permeating the New Eng- anci Drain. The albove is the first note of warn ng to the negro from beyond Mason and Dixon's line. We will soon heair of proposed amendments to the con stitutions of several of the northern states for the purpose of restricting suffrage. In several of these states the negroes now hold the balance of power. They do not realize their power yet, but when they do they will wield an influence in politics in those states never dreamed of. I U kv5feJ Often leads to I Vn woman ever ! I A TJ her heart for Fable of the Love-Sick King. And there was a certain great King who laying dying of grief, for her he loved was gone from him forever, says the Smart Set. All day long he lay on his couchof-rose leaves, and courtiers washed away the tears and poured them from golden vases on the grave of the one he loved. And the flocks died and the peas ants starved, for it was decreed that none should do else but weep for the dead. And, the nation being near unto ruin, the wise ones held coun sel, but no relief could they find for their desperate need; till at length spoke an humble shepherd, saying: 'In the valley where my sheep wander and eat the sweet young grass and the tender herbs, a certain great physician dwells. I pray he ba brought that he cure the king." Now, though hope was- small, cour iers traveled swiftly the wild moun tains, where the brooks sing alwavs and are clear as a maiden's eye, and the rocks pierce the earth like battle ments of giant castles hidden below, till at length they came to the phvsi cian, and, when he had heard their tale, he washed his hands and went straightway with them. And, when the Physician had arriv ed at the court of the King, the peo ple fell on their knees, and begged him to save them from destruction. Then the Physician said: "Oh King, put by thy grief." And the King said: "It mav not be, for the one I love is dead." "Put by thy .grief." the Physician said, "and thou shalt see the one thou lovest." And the King sprang up. and the Physician commanded a certain great mirror to be brought and ordered the King to look therein. t And the King gazed, and behold! it was himself he saw.

But many a woman who has gladly faced poverty for the man she loved, may well fioubt her wisdom when pain becomes the mate of poverty. If she were rich, she thinks, she could find a way of cure. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is within the reach of every one. It lifts the burden of pain which weighs down those who suffer from womanly diseases. It establishes regularity, dries weaken ing drains, heals inflammation and ul ceration and cures female "weakness. You hare my heartfelt thanks for your kind advice to me," write Mrs. Geo. Fletcher, of 106 Victoria ATenue, Gait, Ontario. "Was troubled with catarrh of uterus for over a year. The doctors said I would have to go through an op eration, but I commenced to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Dis covery,' also hi ' IyOtion Tablets' and 'Antiseptic and Healing Suppositories. Now I am com pletely cured, after using six bottles of Dr. Pierce's medicines. I am glad to say his medi cine has made me a new woman." Weak and sick women, especially those suffering from diseases of long standing, are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by let ter, frss.

(Special to The Messenger.) Fayetteville, N. C, April 9. Yes terday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Mon aghan went down to the Cape Fear wharves to arrest a white man, J. B. Jackson, charged with the offense of criminal assault on his own daughter, 12 or 14 years of age. The fman moved into the house he now occu pies a few days ago with this girl alone, stating that the mother was to come later. Jackson is now in jail, having been arrested Iby Sheriff Monaghan. Be fore Magistrate Overby the girl told a terrible story, corroborated by the mother, of the unnatural father's guilt. Those who know him say that he is a very bad man. Last evening's meeting of the ChamtyeT of Commerce was largely at tended, and the proceedings were of unusual interest. Mr. H. McD. Rob inson and other speakers aiddrcrrZd the meeting on the necessity of good roads, and the equal necessity of keep ing them good after construction, and a Special committeie was aippointed to appear before the county commis sioners at their meeting, asking their hearty co-ope ration in this matter. It was decided to issue cheap pamph lets and envelope advertising, setting forth the business and industrial ad vantages of Fayetteville, in advance of the publication of the illustrated booklet. Captain J. D. McNeill and Messrs. A. H. Slocomb and A. L. McCaskill, the Chamber of Commerce commit tee, who appeared yesterday in Wash ington before the congressional com mittee on public buildings, returned last night, and they are much pleased at the outlook for a public building for Fayetteville, and the earnest ef forts of Hon. G. B. Patterson in their behalf, while he and his secretary Mr L. B. Hale, made their visit so cially very pl-easant Last evening, at their residence on Dick street, Mr. and Mrs. A. S.

Early this morning a.n armed guard marched a band of convicts, chained together, over Haymount the county commissioners having ordered the re moval of the camp from Carving creek to Bloant's creek, in Seventv first township. Mrs. R. B. Carrington is the guest of Mrs. Preston on. ..Person street. Her husband is the son of ex-Governor Carrington, of Virginia, and great grandson of Patrick Henry, the Rev olutionary patriot. The first "overt act" in politics for 1904, which will be so full of politics, is a circular letter advocating the nom ination of Mr. HJ L. Cook, chairman of the Democratic executive commit tee, to Congress for this district. Har money and healinv of factional differ ences are the reasons set forth in the letter. Mrs. Walker, of Spray, N. C. is th-o guest of Mr. and Mrs. N". M. Mor gan, on Haymount. Mr. J, H. Hast and daughter. Mis Kdith. of Xewark, N. J., are welcome Fayetteville visitors, registered at th?

Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol lows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes Funk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three phys'cians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters: to my great joy. the first bottle made a decided im provement. I continued their u?e for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know .they robbed the grave of anoth er victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents guaranteed at R. R. Bellamy's drug store. LIQUOR SITUATION IN C An Interview With Chairman Bailey, of the Anti-Saloon League. (Special- to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C. April 9. In an in terview with Chairman J. William Bailey, of the North Carolina Anti Saloon League, regarding the num ber of counties having saloons, having no saloons, etc., he said that he .had secured information, which is perhaps closely accurate, though this was difficult to do. nrl will he crlad to have any mistakes corrected. He sent an inquiry to each sheriff in the state, asking them to let the informa tion be as accurate as oossible. as he desire to advise the railway and express companies in regard to their duties concerning the shipment ana delivery or liquors, they having ap nlied to Chairman Bailev for this in formation, in ordar that they may comply with the law.

"Gee, this is dry work!" quoth Earl Douglas during his hand-to-hand en counter with Eary Percy. "Yes,'' replied the English chieftain, "it's a long time between drinks." Modern times is marked with an amenity of a similar nature 'between the Governor of North Carolina and the Governor of South Carolina, but they perpetrated it cold-bloodedly; and not in the heat of battle. Alexander - Selkirk; upon "being ma rooned on the Isle of Juan Fernandez, heaved a sigh of relief. "Here at least," he murmured, "I will not have to read the Sunday sup plement" In this blissful solitude he lived four year and four months. - . 7l - OTF .
