''Young men, keep out of politics," says Senator Piatt. That advice would be all right if Senator Piatt had said: Keep out of Republican machine politi.'s, which are rotten to the core. 10 very citizen of a republic should take enough interest in poli tics to investigate the policies of parties and vote always according to the result of his investigations. Young men especially should tuke an interest, in polities, for it is upon the young men of today that the govern ment of the Republic will rest to morrow. Some young man of to day will be, in a few years, president, of this great country, or lie will be Senator, or Congressman, governor of his state. What would happen if the young men (if the country "keep out of politics?"' Young men should investigato how the so-called Repub lican policy of protection that Piatt and the other Republican leaders stand for. taxes them for the benefit of protected interests. Young men should know why the cost of living is so great IS per cent, higher than when the present tariff law was en acted anil their salaries have not in creased in like proportion. Young men should inquire why they are comjielled to continue in the em ployment of others all their lives in stead of as formerly looking forward to be their own masters. Jt is not to the interest of Senator Piatt or the Republican leaders that young men investigate the plundering system that the Republican party stands for. theiefore they say keep out of politics. Farm Life. C.il. U. II. Cn y in Klizalx-th fity Tar Heel. The greatest drawback and oppo sition to country life is its isolation and monotony. Man is a gregarious animal and seekscoinpaninship of his fellows. Hence he pines in solitude and looks around for an inter-change of thought, a sharpening of mind against mind and a familiarity with the current events of life. He llees from country life and finds vent for his instincts in the idleness and vices of the city. Happy is that boy who spends the plastic period of his life amid the sur roundings and influences and employ ments of a country life. There seems to be a supernatural influence in the contact of our moth er earth. The country boy may be gauky without the amenities and courtesies. of polite society, but he is a mine of thought and has drawn deep inspirations from the new mown hay, the white cotton fields and the ripening harvest. The history of our country's great men shows that much the largest number of them, have been country boys born and bred, whose hands have been toughened by the plow handles. They have learned in actual experience how to milk the cows and drive the kine a field. Whatever may le the cause of it, whether it may be that country life develops thought, which is the parent of distinction, the fact is nevertheless true that country life is the ro3'al road to greatness. These reflections are suggested by the recent convention at Kinston of the Rural Delivery Carriers. It was a great success. It showed that the carriers were men of intelligence, and that they could convey their opinions to men "in thoughts that breathe, iu words thatburn." The rural delivery system is the great blessing of our age; it removes the isolation of coun try life and adds to its charm and in fluence. It makes the country bov the equal of the town boy in all the activities oflife. Itplaces inhis hands the daily newspaper, puts him in touch with political aud social life, while it clothes his mind with learn ing in his moments of recreation from toil. He grows up remote from t he temp tations of vice, a brave aud virtuous man having learned the lessons of virtue from the great book of nature whieh has been spread out before him.

Unwarranted Lynching of Three Negroes at Salisbury by a Fren zied Mob Monday Night Vic tims Charged With Murder of the Lyerly Family. A mobestimatedat three thousand men raided the jail in Salisbury Mon day night, overpowered the sheriff and guards and took therefrom three neirroes. .Nease (iillespie ana ins son, John Gillespie, and Jack Dillingham, and lynched them. The negroes were charged with the murder of the Lyer ly family near Rarber J unction, liow an count y, on the night of July 13th, and a special term of court was in session to try them. Others impli cated in the murder were Henry Gil lespie, Delia Gillespie (wife of Nease Gillespie) and George Irvin. These the mob did not disturb. True bills had been found against all six of the negroes and they would have been tried before Judge B. F. Long of Statesville, and the guilty ones con victed no doubt if the mob had not taken the law in their own hands. The lynching of these negroes was utterly without excuse and a blot has been put upon the State by the brutal act. Vigorous steps will be taken to apprehend and prosecute persons who participated in the lynch ing. The crime for which the lynching was done was a most brutal one, more like the act of savages than civilized beings living among en lightened people. Because of some grievance Nease Gillespie is said to have had against Mr. Isaac Lyerly, a well known farmer of Rowan coun ty, he was brutally murdered while asleep in his house. His wife, a little son and a little daughter shared the same fate, an axe being used to do the bloody work. After the four members of the family who were sleeping on the first floor w.ere butch ered kerosene oil was poured on the beds and the house set fire to, doubt less to hide the horrible crime. Three older girls who slept up stairs were awakened by the smell of smoke and the oldest one going down stairs dis covered the awful deed that had been committed. Heroically they went to work and dragged the burning beds out of doors and extinguished the flames. They went to the nearest neighbor's a mile and a half away, and gave the alarm. Suspicion fell upon no one at first, but as a result of investigation Nease Gillespie and his accomplices were arrested. A small boy, eleven years old, a nephew of Nease, told about hearing them plotting the murder and talking about ifc after ward, going so far as to tell where the axe was hid. The axe was found at the place described and the guilt of some of these negroes at least seemed beyond question. They were taken to Mecklenburg jail for safe keeping until a special term of court could be held to trythem. Monday morning they were brought back to Salisbury and the lynching of three of them occurred that night. In tins state it in not necessary to serve a five days notice for eviction of a cold.

WHEN CONSIDERING LIFE IN SURANCE, Consider Your Own and Your Peo ple's Best Intestsby Takinga Policy in the Southern Life Insurance Com pany. Why not consider your own and your people's best interests and place your policy in the Southern JLife Insurance Company instead of your friend's interest who happens to represent another Com pany : Look at it this way: "A man's best friend is his Mother. Suppose your mother owned a farm of one hundred acres, old and somewhat run down It will make fifty bales of cotton, which she wishes to lease to you for a rental of twenty-hve hales. Across the road from your mother's farm one, whocares noth ing for you, owns a farm of one hundred acres in a very high state of cultivation which will make two hundred bales of cotton; he will lease it to you for forty bales. Like the Southern Life Insurance Company he will pre you four-fifths of the profits. .Now, you cannot cultivate but one of these farms. If you cultivate your mother's one hundred acres she gets twenty-five bales; you wish to take care of your mother's intersts as well as your own. With her farm she and yourself can get fifty bales of cotton. By culti vating the other one hundred acres, after giving the owner forty bales you have one hundred and sixty bales tor yourself If you wish to give your mother half your earnings you gave her eighty bales off of the stranger s farm instead of twenty-five bales off of her own, yon will have over three times as much for yourself. t he very low mortuary cost in a young company and the high rate of interest. puts the Southern Life Insurance Com pany on a par with the fertile farm, while tue high death rate and low rate of in terest puts the old l-onipanies on a par with the run down farm. The old Companies usually give the policyholders nail the small profits winch they make, while the southern Life In surance Company gives four-fifths of their much larger profits to the policy Holders. fcee about thedividend on your policy and who gets it before you close another L.ue Insurance trade.

It may be wise on my part to witnnoiu iorever, what, 1 am about to sav. but being noted for acts of unwisdom in matters politi-. cal, that same fault constrains me to speak right out "in meeting. it seems to me the exercise of great patience to have waited so long, and indeed, I have ; been often reminded of the lamented "Rill Arp" in that, I have thus often had to walk out into the garden "to let nyl choler down." Would you hear the cause of my wounds? It is a short aud simple story. Having as much of the "good" of the party at heart as he could anonl to pump into that organ without" provok ing a revolution in that other very im portant one (the stomach) this writer felt called upon to offer a few suggestions to the convention already relerrea to. We asked that the party, as such, com mit itself to a policy that would limit the terms of Federal office to one term, and further, to resolve among ourselves that no discrimination should be matte against the country and in 'favor of urban voters iu making recommenda tions and appointments to these posi tions. We believe that at least eighty per cent, of the delegates to the conven tion were in favor of these resolutions and had thus expressed themselves, and yet they failed to carry. When they were read out by the secretary there were many cries for "Peace! Peace!" when there was no peace. What! is there any thing concealed about the business of politics in Vance county: lour writer was forced to wonder. One man said, "why that sounds like Democratic doc trine to me." And this same man under took to explain that the post office au thorities at Washington had establshed forever, the precedent of keeping a good man in office at least two terms. Is that so? Then why not keep Pryce Jones in office at Henderson another term, for he is a man, than whom, no more faithful and proficient servant the county has ever had? Yet, so far as my own con victions are concerned I feel that the present incumbent is more deserving as a party man and for this reason favored him. Rut this "man" did not undertake to tell us why the country man had not the same right to appointment in the Henderson office that the town man had and until he shall find time to do this satisfactorily he will find it an uphill business to keep a solid organization in the county. I pronounce it the merest tommyrot to say that a man living in the remotest niche of the county has not the same right to office that he has who lives upon the lot adjoining the court house square, other things being equal, excepting geographical position, it mat ters not what government or authority may think and do to the contrary. And now to the heart of the onense. I am not so much offended at being honest ly considered a Democrat but to be open ly accused by a supposed friend, of un faithfulness without apparent cause was a little more than 1 was prepared for. Much serious thought in this matter has led me to wonder about several things. The first is why my critic and accuser al lowed me to find fault in and withdraw from the Democratic party seven or eight years sooner than he did, especially 6ince his cause and mine were identically the same. The next is, how we can consist ently take up the cry and clamor for "honest elections" with a party whose great predominance has been seemingly established by the lavish use of election boodle. Personally and most candidly I would like to be a Democrat as between the two old parties, for I am a Southerner and a white man, but I cannot endorse a policy that requires me to falsify re turns or stand aside and let some one make the figures who will do so. Rut maybe they will come to despise such methods some of these days and I hope they will. There is no great difference between platforms now, especially since they have borrowed from the Populist creed until that party has almost become a bankrupt in the matter of doctrines The question of the tariff stands at the head of the list of differences with great men of great minds differing as to that. I shall not be at all surprised if within a few more years a great Independent party will be built upon the strongest planks of the two old ones when wre may all be I'opulists again who want to and who sincerely desire the universal prevalence of that most sacred of all po litical dogmas, "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none." For such a time 1 do hope and pray. I his is about the sum of mv present complaints and in conclusion would like to relieve the minds of any who have suspicions that 1 desire to hold ollice, by tue simple statement that no distributor of Federal jobs within tthis county has anything to offer so tempting as to lure me irom this little home of mine so close up to the bosom of nature, and siuce Providence has dealt so kindly with us in sending the sunshine and the showers, it is in this sacred retreat that we now live, "poor, but happy."
