No doubt many of the people of Wil mington will remember the incident referred to in the article below, taken from the "Waxhaw Enterprise, recount ign the short, but earnest prayer of the late Dr. PritChard for the newspar; per men. . Now that your attention is called to the matter - do any of our readers remember another instance in which a minister of the gospel had of fered up a prayer in behalf of that much abused and over-worked class, the newspaper men? Why should they always come in for abuse, criti cism and fault-finding, but never a word of thanks or commendation, to say nothing of never a thought of a prayer for their help and guidance, no matter how diligently and faithfully they labor for the entertainment and enlightenment of the people and for the welfare and advancement of the community? Newspaper men get fewer thanks and more abuse than any other "class of men who labor in. behalf of the public. There are few if any other callings to which men devote their mental or physical energies that are a greater strain on mind and body. The men who work on a morning paper have to reverse the laws of nature as to rest and what little recreation there is to be had. The readers of the morning paper who leisurely glance over the paper at breakfast time,' after a refreshing night's rest, and abuse the editors and the printers for every mistake they find and pettishly declare that it is a. shame such mistakes should be made, do not stop for a moment to think how much labor and worry it has cost the weary editois and printers through the long dreary hours of the night, while the grumblers were sleep ing and gaining strength and fresh vigor for the next day's work, to pre pare the matter and get the paper to press in time for them to have th latest news from all parts of the world in the early morning. Could they, see th newspaper men .. going to their homes in the early morning hours," weary in body and fagged in mind by the strain of work night after night from sun set to almost sun rise they would realize the meaning of "night . work" on a morning paper-and would be more charitable towards those poor fellows' mistakes and, perhaps, once in a while silent prayer might be offer ed up in their behalf, for heaven knows they deserve it and need it, too. In reference to Dr. Pritchard's pray er for the newspaper men The Enter prise says: - Although the editor devotes bis life . largely to other people, he himself is frequently a very much neglected man. He may devote columns of space to favorabe mention of other people, but if he comes in for any sort of mention at all it is mighty apt to be in con nection with some unfriendly criticism because of the fact that he has" fail ed to glorify someone in the. columns of his paper just as some other per son thought it ought to have been done. Did you ever Thear an " editor prayed for in public? Prayers are fre quently offered in churcnes and other places of public assembly for our rul ers, officers, teachers, doctors, law yers, and almost everybody else. But did you ever hear editors included , in the list of mentionables at the throne of grace? We have heard It, Just one time in a span of thirty-seven years. It was in the First Baptist church at Wilmington one Sunday morning, now . several years ago, during the pastor ate of the late and lamented Rev. Dr. Pritchard. And that prayer, in so far as it related to editors, consisted- of only four very short words. But nev ertheless it was a prayer for editors, and was ther first and, strange to say, the only time- we ever heard editors, remembered at the throne of grace and mercy, and we must confess that some how from that very moment we thought more of the man who made the prayer. 7 In the course of his morn ing petition from the pulpit the vener able pastor said, "God bless our edi tors." ' ', -; - ; " This popular remedy never falls to : effectually core : Dyspepsia, Constipation, Sick Headache, Biliousness ' And ALL DISEASES arising from a Torpid Liver and Bad Digestion The natural result fs good appetite " ' and solid flesh. Dose small; elegant ly sugar coated and easy to swallow Take No Substitute Mil REPUBLICANS DRAW THE COLOR . . , . LINE. ' : Every time a democrat says any thing about the record of the republican party in reconstruction days or its conduct in fusion times when Butler and Russell headed the mongrel forces the republicans yell out "don't bark back to those old days; don't try ;- to revive the dead negro question; that was settled by the franchise amend ment to the state constitution". We wish, this were so. but is it? The re publicans do not Tvish, the democrats, tn order to solidify the democratic vote, to refer, to the disgraceful records the former made in regard to negro domi nation during the two periods in the (history of our state when they were in power. We are not surprised that they wince every time a democrat makes allusion to those days of disgraceful conduct on their part. They do all they can to draw the attention of the white people of this state and of the entire south from that epoch in the eouth's history because they know that every such, thought and recollection strengthens the cause of democracy and the fear among the white people of the return to power of their party. Nevertheless when it comes to stirring up the negroes to greater dependence on the republican party and .stronger allegiance thereto its leaders do not hesitate to draw the color line and to attempt' to work on the fears and prejudices of the negro voters. The lat est illustration of this is the recent address to the negro voters Issued by the republican congressional campaign committee in which, we find the follow ing appeal to the racial prejudice of the negroes:- j The grand old party, the colored man's friend. Rally to the cause of your race. Millions of souls in the . southland appeal to the colored voters in .the northern, eastern and western states to vote for the republican candidates for congress. It was the party that gave him the freedom of the ballot, which clothed him with the armor of citizenship and gave him a powerful and unrestricted voice in the affairs of the nation; it was the republican party that ap pointed colored citizens to offices of honor and trust, and promoted color ed privates in the United States army to be commissioned officers; it was by legislation enacted by republican con gresses and approved by republican presidents, that the laws which have been beneficial to us have been re corded in the statutes, over the per sistent opposition of the democratic party. . ' - " . ' Rally to Roosevelt and the repub lican candidate of your district! Ral ly to the cause of your race with the vigor and determination that Crispus Attucks displayed in revolutionary days; that your grandfathers and fath ers exhibited with Sherman, on his march from Atlanta to the sea; with Sheridan .through the bloodv valley of the Senandoah; with McKinley aH Antietam; with the Union forces at For Pillow, Fort Wagner. Milliken's Bend, Petersburg, Seven Pines, Olus tee, and many other engagements for the freedom of the colored man and the preservation of the union, and with Roosevelt the hero of the Spanish-American war, in a foreign clime against a foreign foe, for the glory of the flag, the Integrity of the nation, and the alleviation of the condition of oppressed humanity. - "What a howl there would go up from the republican leaders if the democrats would make any such, fierce racial ap peal to" the white voters of this state or the south. " They say the negro ques tion Is dead; etill they make anroutra geous appeal to the negro to come to the support of their candidates. Does not this show that the negro question will not long remain dead if the re publican party should return to power? The negro question is dead so long as the democrats retain control of the state and municipal governments; but let the republicans once get in power again and we will see a repetition of the conditions in reconstruction and fusion days. If this is not so why are the republican leaders boasting to the negroes as to the large number of the latter race who were given office over the white people when they '"were in power? j What does that mean but a promise that if the negroes will help them get back in power the latter will again place the negroes in office? it is that and nothing more. The whites should take warning. While the republican leaders in New York claim to believe that Hearst will be "snowed under," the democrats say it will be a landslide for him. State Senator Raines says that in the up state wherever he has been or has heard from most all the old-time democrats are going to vote the repub lican ticket. The democrats say Hughes will come down to The Bronx with only 35,000 majority, which of course would mean his defeat unless a radical political change has taken place in the city of Greater New York. So you see no body knows how matters stand. Those who are interested in the result will have to wait until the morning of November 7th. Then they will know all about it. Nobody can tell now; how it is going to turn out. . At the funeral in , Edgefield county. South; Carolina, a few, days ago, of Mrs. Margaret J. Tillman, widow of a brother of . Senator Tillman, the pall bearers were negroes on the planta tion ex-slaveswho had never left the service of their former mistress. Won der what some of our northern friends think of that? . THE STRAUS APPOINTMENT. The more talk there is of the ap pointment by the president of Mc Straus as secretary of commerce and labor the more excitement there Is over It in political circles, especially in the state of New York. It is said to have been a scheme to capture the Hebrew vote for the republican ticket of that state. It is also claimed that itfwould secure for that ticket the support a number of democrats who are not of the Jewish faith. Mr. Straus, we believe, was a life long democrat up to the. time the Palmer and Buckner ticket was put in the field. He Is now wnat we suppose might be" called an anti-Bryan and anti-Hearst "democrat. Of course the Bryanites and the Hearst followers will not admit that there is any such kind of a democrat; still there are a good many men in New York who always affiliated with the democratic party and voted for . its nominees until that party became pledged to Bryan ism and Hears tism and wno would like now to affiliate with that party if they could reconcile suck conduct with their , ideas of the tne principles of the party. As we understand it Mr Straus belongs to that class. Coupled with this is the fact that he is the first Hebrew who has ever been appointed to a position in the cabinet. -He is a man of prominence fan ! his circle and is qualified for the position.. Taking all these facts into consid eration it is natural to suppose that Lis appointment will have considerably influence on the two classed of voters above mentioned and that no matter what were Mr. Roosevelt's motives in making the appointment it will work for; the good of the republican state ticket, and those Who guess that Mr. Roosevelt had an eye to this political result in making the appointment would hardly go far wrong. The pres Ident has probably done the Hughes ticket a far greater (benefit than if he had taken an active part In the cam paign, as he "was anxious to do, but was pursuaded, against his wishes, -to forego. ; r It is of great importance to the de mocracyof New Hanover county that it cast a big vote at the approaching election. Its position in the party con ventions depends on this being done. Wei want the county party to hold its own in the state and district conven tions. It cannot do this unless it polls its full strength in the Novem ber election. Let the democrats re member this and register and vote to the last man. This is the last day the registration books will be open. Those whose names are not on the proper books when the sun sets today will not be allowed to vote. Remember that. To day is your last chance to qualify your selves for voting. Let today go by and you have barred yourselves as a voter for this election. ( Nature's Way Is Best. The function strengthening and tissue building plan of treating chronic, lingei ing and obstinate cases of disease as pur sued by Dr. Pierce,- is following after Natures plan of restoring health. He uses r natural remedies, that ia extracts from native medicinal roots, prepared by processes wrought but by the expenditure of much time and money, without the use of alcohol, and by skillful combination in just the right proportions. . ' Used as Ingredients of Dr. Pierce'9 Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry bark,' Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot and Stone root, specially exert their influence in cases of lung, bronchial and throat troubles, and this " Discov -ert" Is, therefore, a sovereign remedy for , bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs, catarrh and kindrecF ailments. The above native roots also have tho strongest possible endorsement from tho leading medical writers, of all the several schools of practice, for the cure not only of the diseases named above but also for indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter where located. i You don't have to take Dr. Pierce's i say-so alone as to this; what he claims for his "Discovery" is backed up bv tLo writings of the most eminent men in tho medical profession. A request by postal card or letter, addressed to Dr. ft. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., for a little book of j extracts from eminent medical au thorities endorsing the ingredients of his medicines, will bring a little - book free that is worthy of your attention if needing a good, safe, reliable remedy of known composition for tho cure of almost any old chronic, or lingering malady.
