The resuscitated Greensboro News made its first appearance on Sunday, tke 18th, and was very creditable in appearance. While not in accord with its po litical principles it is only fair to say that it bears all the earmarks of a real newspaper, and we hope it may have the success it de serves. The public will regret to learn that Dr. R. H. Lewis has resign ed as secretary and treasurer of the state board of health. He has done good work in that im portant position, and while he has been in office the sanitation of the state has been improved in marked degree. His success or will be Dr. W. H. Rankin, who is expected to keep the work up to its present degree of effici ency. We wish to call special atten tion of our.readers to the advan tageous clubbing offer made in our advertising columns. THE DEMOCRAT, it is hardly necessary to say, gives all the local news of this section, with much other matter of interest to the public, while the other papers in the list each occupy a leading posi tion in their respective lines. > People desiring good reading matter will make no mistake in taking advantage of any of these offers. GRAB AND GRAFT. The Times-Mercury gracefully cancedes the truth of our state ment that the tariff legislation is a "game of grab and graft." That being so there seems little to be said. The Republican par ty is not only guilty of subject ing the people to this robbery, but tries to make them believe that it is for their good. The fact that a few Democrats have gone back on their party's prin ciples in order to gain a little of the swag does not alter the case. The fact is that today neither party has any distinctive princi ples on which it stands. The Republican party, organized to fight for what it considered, whether rightly or wrongly is beside the question, a sacred right, has forgotten its principles in its eagerness for spoils. The Democrat party, which stood so many years for the rights of the people, has all but forgotten its great mission, and has but few men today who represent its time honored principles. This being so it the more behooyes us who still hold to the old party principles, and who believe that in them lies today the hops of the Republic, to stand for them to the last. The Republican contention that the tariff is in the interest of the workmen is as absurd as any thing could well be. Briefly, the tariff is an instrument for the impoverishment of the many and the enrichment of the few. Labor is the one thing that ha 3 no projection. Look at the high- ly protected industries of coal, iion and cotton and you will find engaged in them the most igno rant and the worst paid labor in the country. Children and wom en work all their lives at starva tion wages and with no chance to get; the education which would raise them from the depths, and all to fatten the gains of their masters, The wage slavery of today is a hundred fold worse than the old negro slavery of the South, and the Republican party, with its catchy shibboleth of "protection for American labor," is largely responsible for it. What avails it if a man gets twice the pay of a European la borer if he has to pay three times as much for the necessa ries of iife. The fact is that., in all times the poor .man has been at the mercy of the rich, but in former days he was robbed by force of arms, while today he is robbed by senators and represen tatives who in the guise of friends of the people are really the boughten slaves of the "preda tory rich." We can only possess our souls in patience and wait for the day, which will surely come, when the people will send to the rear the men who rob them ard replace them by men who have the interests of the people at heart and who will neither be bought nor intimida ted into being false to their trust. Sunday School Normal. The Lutheran Sunday School Normal which was held at Lenoir College on July 14, 15 and 16, was a decided success. This was the second assembly of the In stitute for North Carolina Lu therans, the first having beep held last summer at Concord. Th 6 increased attendance this year showed that last year's work had done good. The number of visiting ministers and Sunday scho®l teachers was about 250, and these with the members of Holp Trinity and St. Andrew's, who were the hosts, made up an attendance of between 500 and 700. The guests who came in on the trains were entertained at High land Hall and Oakview home, the two students' dormitories. All the sessions of the normal were held in the auditorium of the college, so that guests could not have been more conveniently situated or bettsr cared for. Many prominent Sunday school workers were in attendance. Among others were Dr. W. L. Hunton, of Philadelphia; Dr. A. G. Voigt, dean of the Theologi cal Seminary, Charleston, S. C.; Dr. Geo. B. Cromer, former pres ident of Newberry college, S. C.;, Dr. L. A. Fox, of Roanoke col lege, Va.; Dr. R. C. Holland, of Charlotte. These are only a few of the lecturers and leaders in the normal. Two other names should by all means be mention ed, Rev. and Mrs. E. C.. Cronk, of Columbia, S. C. Rev. Cronk conducted the music of the nor mal, and made talks each dpy on Sunday school and church music, its character, its purpose, its ren dering. Mrs. Cronk had charge of the department of primary work, lecturing each day on some feature of this work and con ducting model classes. One period each day was given to the Round Table, and this proved to be one of the most in |lF YOU ONLY KNEW HOW | I would build you up, increase your H weight, strengthen your weak I throat and lungs and put yon in I condition for next winter, you I would begin taking it now, Take it In a little cold milt- or water 5Qc. and sl.oq All Druggists I teaesting and helpful parts of the daily programs. Lists of questions were distributed to the members, and those questions were briefly discussed by all. In these discussions all speakers were limited to one minute. The questions of Sunday school liter ature, students helps, books for teachers, etc., attracted much attention and were thoroughly discussed. Several publishers had displays of their books and Sunday school helps in the corri dors of the college. A great many orders for books and liter ature were taken. The effect of this Sundty school normal will be wide and lasting. All the teachers took notes on the lectures and the Round Table discussions, so that there was not a mere trusting to the memory. Many books help ful to teachers were recommend ed by the various speakers, and many of these books are now in the hands of the teachers. Childron. Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO R I A Organ Recital.
