"Catawba going Republican lis vear." Yes, that is what re have heard since 1898. Ca ffeba will*go Repubiean this ear as it has done for the last »n years. Bryan's prospects grow bright f every day.

Joseph G. Cannon, whose soubriquet of "Uncle Joe" was 1 earned by his immoral habits and profane language, recently took occasion to picture Bryan as a millionaire, rolling in wealth, which Cannon broadly intimated had not been honestly earned. A few days later Bryan oame out with a crushing reply in which he showed that his whole estate amounted to only one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and that every cent of it had been honestly earned. Bryan further more challenged Cannon to pub lish a schedule of property to gether with the sources from which it was derived. It is safe to say that "Uncle Joe" will hardly accept the challenge since he has been the foremost cham pion of the whiskey men and the gamblers through all thesa years, and they have spent thousands of dollars to let the public know what a genial, jovial fellow "Un cle Joe" really is. If Cannon had any sense of de cency left he would never chal lenge comparison with Bryan, whose clean, pure life, that all the world recognizes, is a stand ing rebuke to the foul . tongue and unclean habits of wicked old Joe Cannon. Republican Ways vs Demo cratic Ways. Some one has said that the difference between the practices of the Republican and Democrat ic parties is that the Republicans quarrel among themselves and cease quarreling at the ballot box, while the Democrats quar rel among themselves and carry their differences into the box. Most convincing proof that this is true as it refers to the Repub licans, at least, is found in the nomination of Gov. Hughes, of New York, to succeed himself. • Prior to the meeting of tie New jYork State convention, Gov. ! Hughes was bitterly opposed for ; re-nomination by leaders of his . party's organization, but when it j was manifest that he had dele ! gates enough to nominate him. anyhow, the leader of the oppo sition moved to make his nomi nation unanimous, and the regu lar Republicans will go to the polls aud "vote as one man" for Hughes. This does not necessarily mean that Gov. Hughes will be re elected. Indeed, it now looks as though the chances are that he will not. This is a Democratic year, we hear on all sides, and the balance of power in New York is held by the independent, voters. But the lesson for the Demo crats to learn is that when the councils of the party decide on a candidate, the matter is settled and the party i 3 united. The Democratic party has de cided on Bryan for President and Kitchin for Governor. Young man Dead. Mr. Chester Latta died at th j home of his .Father Mr LeeLatta > last night about 12 o'clock, H had been in failing health fo: some time, and though his manj ; friends did not think he woulc i recover, death ah any time is s I shock. f He was 21 years %ld, and a young man of sterling qualities*, and had the esteem and respect of all who knew him. Only last Sunday he requested to be bap tised, and told his pastor that all ? was well, but he became so weak the baptism could not be admin istered. A life so pure and noble, such a glorious end, brings to our minds that* though we have 1 clouds on earth, there will be a j silver lining, which wis may net j see until we have crossed the river. Mr. Brown —Is that dog of yours *mart? Mr. Ridge (proudly)— Smart? Wtell. 1 should say so! I was going out with him yesterday, and I stopped and iald. "Towser. we have forgotten something!"

Concert at Claremont Coflege One of the finest concerts in Hickory for many a day was giv en Monday evening, 14th, by Sig nor D'Anna, whose name is a suf ficient guarantee for good music rendered with musical tasie and discrimination. The address by Pres. J. L. Mur phy, at the opening of the pro gram, was very appropriate. Mrs. J, L. Murphy and Sig. D'- Anna sang a duet. Mrs. Ed. Shuford, Mrs. Murphy and Miss Essie Shuford sang solos delightfully. Miss Lovie Sigmon showed in her piano solos that her study has brought forth fiine results. - A trio, by Verdi, gave great pleasure, sung by Miss Essie Shuford, Mr, B. A, South erland and Sig. D'Anna. At the close of Part I, Mr. J. F. Gslloway who is with the Parker-Gardner Co., of Charlotte, rendered two violin solos, artistically giving in response to an enthusiastic en core, one of Debriott's composi tions. Mrs. Julian C. Boyd, of Char lotte, gave great delight by her singing a selection of Saint Saens. A quartette and the prayer from "Moses in Egypt" brought to a close this delightful eyening. The hall was packed. On all sides could be heard ardent praises by an appreciative audi ence. Girl Murdered at Startown. The peacefulness of the Sab bath day was broken Sunday morning ac the Methodist church at Startown, by the most demon ical murder ever heard of in this pirt of the country. At about 10:30 o'clock. Miss Willie Bol linger was stabbed to death by a young man Lonnie Rader, a discharged lunatic. The reports that have reached this office are rather conflicting. One report has it that while Miss Bollinger was seated at the organ furnish ing music for the Sunday school, Rader hastilv made his way over three or four seats, stabbing the girl once in the back and twice in the breast. Another report is to the effect that Rader wait ed at the church door until Miss £ Bollinger injerged from the house and then committed his fiendish died. Whatevor the paiticulars are, the result was the same. The young lady died imediately. Rader was arrested and Is now in jail. When ques tioned as to his motive for the crime he said he slew her because she was a witch. Rader was confined in the Lunatic Asylum, Morganton last spring and while there raved continously about -Miss Bollinger. He had been discharged from the asylum for some time and appeared to be cured. Saturday he delivered a load of wood in Newton and af terwards purchased a new knife with which he committed the ! horrible crime. No reason for the deed can be assigned except that Miss Bollinger had spurned the young man's love. Miss Bollinger was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Bollinger. She was 18 years of age and highly respected by all who knew her. She was organist for both the Methodist and Baptist churches, being a member of the latter. Rader was the son of Pink Rader and was twenty one years of age. Mr. Henry Bollinger, Uncle of the dead girl, after hearing the sad new, went imediately to the j home of the girls parents. Up on entering the room and viewing the corpse the shock was too great and he died from heart failure within two minut§3. The sympathy of the entire country J goes out to all concerned.

Johnson of Minne sota delivered at the dedication of the Minnesota monument on Shiloh battle fleld an address that will rank as one of the ablest public deliverances of re cent times. Spoken on a battlefield that may be taken as the symbol of the great war for the Union, the governor took occasion to tell of the peril that threatens our federal form of govern ment This peril was emphasized by the recent decision of the supreme court In the railway cases going up from Minnesota and North Carolina, which practically mukes the state gov ernments subservient to the Inferior federal courts. The significance of > these decisions is widely understood, and they have given rise to a general discussion of the question of the rights of the states, and Governor Johnson's speech will rank as an important con tribution to that dlscussiou. The dedi catory address in part follows: Representing the people of the com monwealth of Minnesota. we are as sembled on one of the historic battle fields of the civil war to pay our trib ute of respect and affection to the memory of the sous of Minnesota who here yielded up their lives that this might coutiuue to be a united nation. Their sacrifice was not for personal gain, but was in response to duty .and a contribution to tlie civilization of the age and for the purpose of perpetuat ing the Institution of humau liberty. I appreciate that nothing which I can say will add to or detract from the glory of their achievement, which In itself is an enduriug monument "to the patriotism and heroism of the American soldier. Their sac* ifice, how ever, was not different from that which lias been made throughout all of the ages by those lovers of liberty who be lieve in a government which might give to all the people the right to life, liberty and property. The lovtf of liberty was not born in this country of ours. It was cradled along the Danube and about the shores of the Baltic, even when Rome bad reached the limit of her Imperial grandeur. Increasing in Intensity with the passing of the centuries. It found its highest expres sion in the older countries In the great English charter of civil rights, which forever guaranteed to the people of that land immunity from the despotism of those who claimed to rule by virtue of Dlviue right. A Misnamed Island. The Island of Madagascar Is mis flamed. It should be called St Lorenz bland. Marco Polo In his, work on Africa named a stretch of land on the MMrt coast south of the equator, Mada gascar. Some time after this Martin Bclhalm of Nuremberg prepared a chart of Africa, using Marco Polo's works as a guide, but misuuderstood tk* report on Madagascar, thinking it Meant an Island. IJp thereupon delib erately added an fslftßd to the eftsf AMBt This imaginary island was Mpped on the charts of the geogra yfetn of the fifteenth and sixteenth captain. Fernando Svarez. discovered Wm real Island of Madagascar and Cr# It the name of 8t Lorenz, and a time thereafter two islands found flair place on the charts. In 1531 it Ma known that there was really only tm Island, and in accordance with flhli discovery the original name of Madagascar was retained,, and tho ttMr name was dropped. The Olympic Games.
