Letter From Rusticus.
Correspondent to The Democrat.
There seems not to be much
news of any kind in this neck of
the world at present, of any Im
portance
Just now, it seems that poli
tics are booming us somewhat.
People are beginning to think of
the welfare and prosperity of
the country.
There was a public speaking
at the Yoder schoolhouse last
Friday night. There had as
sembled a pretty brge crowd to
hear W. J. Bryan speak through
:he phonograph. After that was
bne the Hon. M. H. Yount, the
>emocratic candidate for the
ower house of representatives
cYom Catawba county, held the
people spell bound for about an
h :>ur and a half, in an excellent
and well timed address, produc
i ig many strong and substantual
arguments for the ruling power
of the Democracy of North Caro
lina. He arreigned the Republi
can party for the mis rule of the
government in North Carolina in
years of 1895 and 1896. He
spoke a great deal upon the edu
cational matter and urged the
people to take the advantage of
the educational facilities that
the State of North Carolina had
1 provided for the children of the
State when the legislature had
made ample provisions for them
by the several appropration's
that was made for the benefit of
the children.
He then spoke upon the pen
sions that the State had provided
for all the old soldiers and that
the Republican party were telling
the old soldiers that they were
their friends but when there
was a bill before the house to in
crease their pension by an ap
propriation they all voted against
that bill and used every exertion
to defeat it.
He urges the Democrats to
unite and vote the ticket from
Bryan down to constable. And
many other important things he
said for the benefit and welfare
of Democracy, it is impossible
for me to enumerate them all.
Taere was a public speaking
at Bandy's schoolhOuse last Sat
urday night by Hon M. H.
Yount. There had a large crowd
assembled to hear him.
Brother Democrats let us pull
together at the elec'.ion in No
vember next and elect our Dem
ocratic candidate by a terge ma
jority. The Democrats formed
a Democratic club at the' Yoder
schoolhouse of about 50 members
with F. A, Yoder Pres.

WHY COLDS ARB DANGERIOUS.
Because you have contracted ordin
ary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
I for a moment imagine that colds ate
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the germs
that would not otherwise have found
lodgment. It is the same with all in
fectious diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet
fever, measles and whooping cough
are much more likely to be contracted
arhen the child has a cold-. You will
see from this that more real dagger
lurks in a cold than in any other of the
commond ailments. The easiest a~d
quickest way to cure a cold is to take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
many remarkable cures effected by this
prepaiation have made it a staple article
of trade over a large part of the world.

Deceiving Pictures.
The battle between the catalogue
houses for supremacy is not being
fought out by a calm comparison of

WHERE BULLETS FLEW.
David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a
veteran of the civil war, who lost a
foot at Gettysburg, says: "'The good
Electric Bitters have done is worth
more than five hundred dollars to me.
I spent much money doctoring for a
bad case of stomach trouble, to little
purpose. I then tried Electric Bitters,
and they cured me. I now take them
as a tonic, and they keep me strong
and well.*' 50c. at C- M. Shuford, W.

Planting Railway Btation Grounas.
The custom of planting railway sta
tion grounds Is each year becoming
more widespread, and the observant
traveling public is making its approval
of the same so manifest that all lines
must eventually take np this work of
aiding in the city and town beautiful
movement If the plant loving traveler
will but commend the railway officials
for their enterprise and foresight in
embellishing their lines of travel, all
will qnickly join in the work of beauti
fying these places. Spacious, well
planned depot grounds are as much
capital to the cities and towns in which
they are situate as to the corporation
to which they belong, so that muuicl
palities should encourage and aid them
in every way possible.

TOWN BETTERMENT.
What Is Being Done In Various Com
munities In This Direction.
A committee of the board of trade In
Lowell. Mass., has taken an Inventory
of all the billboards in the town and
'has communicated with the authori
ties requesting that the leasing of
boards on city property be discontin
ued when the time comes for thehr re
newal. The committee says that the
revenue received is a trifle compared
with the harm done to the beauty of
the town.
Following the example of large cities
and more recently many small ones.
Kaston, Pa., has adopted an antispit
ting law, and the measure has been
signed by Mayor McKeen. People
who have been 4n the habit of spit
ting tobacco juice over the sidewalks
or on floors of public buildings wMI be
placed Tinder arrest and tined for their
offenses if they are continued. No
tices of warning have been posted.
Conspicuous Improvements have been
made this summer iu the appearance
of the business section of Utlca, N. Y.
New cement walks have been laid on
Genesee and other central streets.
This has been the result of agitation
started last winter by President Baker
of the council, who says be was led to
give attention to the matter by his
observation that, whereas the city was
spending thousands of dollars—up Into
the millions. In fact—to provide proper
places upon which dumb animals might
travel, the ways which humankind
must tread were left in a condition uu
flt even for the animal kingdom.
Sunnyside, oue of the longest streets
In Burlington, la.. Is to be paved its
entire length iu the near future. The
street extends from one city limit to
the other, and much of the property
abutting the street is farm land. Al
though the legal assessment derived
from this profierty would not begin to
pay the cast, the return value of the
pavement has been fully promised by
citizens anxious for the improvement
and who are more than willing to pay
their full share of the assessment.
As a measure for the protection of
the school children of New Orleans,.
City Health Officer W. T. O'Reilly will
make a sugestion to the school board
that, beginning at the next term, all
pupils be compelled to bring their own
drinking cups and that common cups
and dippers for the use of all be abol
ished.
Under an ordinance recently passed
by the city council of Knoxville. Teun.,
it Is uulawful to put down any side
walk in the city limits except of con
crete. The specifications provide for
inspections by the city inspector, and
every safeguard is thrown around the
ordinance to give the property owner
a good sidewalk and protect blm
against any inferior work.
The park and cemetery commissions
of Grand Rapids, Mich., have adopted
formal resolutions in reference to criti
cisms that have been made against the
superintendents of the public parks on
account of their being engaged In pri
vate landscape work. The board takes
the ground that the performance of
such work for citizens of Grand Rap
ids results in the substantial improve
ment in the appearance of the town
and that wheu done for neighboring
towns they are simply doing a neigh
borly act which tends to raise the
prestige of Grand Rapids in matters
of outdoor art, besides having a tend«
ency to educate the superintendents
and give them larger experience.
