MR. AYCOCK FOR THE
SENATE.
The interview which the Dem
ocrat published last week with
ex-Gov. R. B. Glenn in favor of
ex Gov. C. B. Aycock's candi
dacy for the U. S. Senate, set
forth more fully than has yet
been done by any one, the rea
sons why Mr. Ay cook should be
sent to the Senate. Another
thing wh'ch ex-Gov. . Glenn did
in the Democrat interview was
to pitch the high plane upon
which the senatorial contest
should be waged. "Every can
didate is worthy of respect and
confidence," he truly said. The
unselfishness of Mr. Avcock was
emphasized by Mr. Glenn. Every
act of his as Governor was
marked by a consideration as to
how it would affect the people of
the State as a whole.
With all due regard to the men
from this state who voted to
keep lumber, mica and other
North Carolina products heavily
protected, we need men in Con
gress who will be able to look
beyond the special interests in
this State to the consumers of
the State. If tariff for revenue
only is a vital Democratic princi
ple, as the statesmen of our
party all contend, it can never
be realized if our Congressmen
make an exception to the rule in
regard to the products of their
own States. It is because the
Democrat believes ex Governor
Aycock would be able to legislate
with this wider vision, and at
the same time to furnish us a
man of the calibre of Mangum or
Badger, Vance or Ransom, that
we would like to see him go to
the Senate. To our mind he is
nearest the ideal man who is
available.
SUPERFICIALITY.
Superficiality is a crying evil
of the day. It is the hour of the
smatterer. Perhaps the corres
pondence school and the many
short cuts in education have to
do with this fact. The county
physician and a coroner's jury
in Iredell considered the case of
young Mrs. Reuben Combs, of
Stony Point, who was found dead
in the hog lot. It was decided
that she had gone out of the
house in the night and died of
natural causes, although it was a
fact that her bare feet'did not
show any signs of her having
walked on the ground.
If her husband, who murdered
her, had bought his strychnine
himself, without haying asked a
friend to buy it for him, he
might have escaped. As it was
his friend talked, and then the
county physician and the coro
ner were sent for some more,
and this time they made a sure
enough examination.
The woman of today who has good
health, good temper, good sense,
bright eyes and a lovely complexion,
the result of correct living and good
digestion, wins the admiratv~a of the
world. If your diges-jn is faulty
(- hamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets will correct it. For sale by all
dealers.
THE FREE WOOL RUCU *.
The Democrat is inclined to
think that Mr. Bryan is right in
lis contention that ways to pro
vide revenue could be found
without having to leave raw
svool largely protected, as the
Democratic ways and means
committee at Washington now
proposes to do. The latter es
timates that free wool would
t-educe the revenues $21,000,000,
a sum which the government
cannot afford to give up. There
fore they are reducing the
tariff on manufactured wools by
30 percent, which will make
woolen clothing cheaper, tut are
leaving a duty on raw wool of
30 or 80 percent of the present
iuty of 11 cents a pound.
The present scheme is the
same as that proposed in the
Wilson bill for which Mr. Brvan
spoke and voted. Now how
ever, he is in Washington, ad
vising Democrats to bolt the
caucus if it doesnt stand for free
wool, and calling the Democrats
who are favoring the compromise
hypocrites. We would like to
see free wool but we do not think
too radical a revision of the
tariff can be expected at once
The Democracy is a mighty
iractious youth but it is free,
white and 21, and Mr. Bryan is
riot its "guardeen."
THE SQUARE PARK.
A lot of neat iron benches in
the park on Union Square would
help out, such as line the pretty
court house square ia Newton.
The park can be made useful as
well as ornamental. There are
only a couple of wooden benches
there now. The Democrat has an
offer from a public spirited cit
izen to be one of 25 men to put
25 iron benches in the park.
Who's next.
The water trough at the east
end of the park has gone dry
and the Democrat from its win
dow has seen many a thirsty
norse poke its dry nose in and
withdraw it with a disappointed
look in the eye.
Then there is the San Jose
scale in the elms, working
swiftly for the destruction of the
two or three score beautiful
shade trees which it has taken
25 years to grow. Let the city
a sprayer. Let's take care
3f our park.
JUSTICE TO SENATOR SIM
MONS.
We hope that all of our readers
read the extracts from the letter
of Senator Simmons in the Dem
>crat last week in which he de
ilares that he has never been
interested in any business trans
action with Senator Lorimer,
tnd that he himself is worth
ess today than he was when he
.vent into the Senate. Outside
if a little farm recently willed
r»m by his father, he has no
property which is not encumbered
•vith mortgage.
The letter of Senator Simmons
has the ring of an honest man,
and we hope that it will put
an end to the rumors that 'lie
has been hand-in-glove with
Lorimer in questionable deals.
We are sorry Mr. Simmons is a
Door man but we may well be
assured that we are represented
in the Senate by men of clean
hands.
AN UNSELFISH TARIFF
REFORMER.
Oscar W. Underwood, chair
man of the ways ane means
committee of congress, is a
statesman of the truest type. In
a study of the man in Current
Literature for June it is stated
that all the money he has is in
vested in ircn and steel in Birm
ingham. Yet in spite of the red
hot fight upon him by .the iron
and steel interests, he is the
chief figure in the effort to lower
the tariff rates from $4.00 to
$2.50 in order to give foreigners
a chance to compete on equal
terms in the American markets.
And Birmingham, the Pittsburg
of the South, sent him back this
term without opposition. Mr.
Bryan cannot call a man like
this a hypocrite.

Mr. Little Challenges World's
Champion.
Mr. Richard F. Little, one of
the swiftest sprinters in the'
South, has challenged Mr. John
Paul Jones, the world's champion
runner, who made a new record
at the Harvard stadium recently,
for a mile race. Jones made a
mile-fa 4.15 2-5 and bettered his
former record by one-fifth of a
second. „ T
Mr. Little wrote to Mr. Jones
challenging him to a contest
and the challenge was accepted.
The conditions are that the race
is to be run in August either at
the University of Virginia or at
the Harvard stadium.
Mr. James Dixon, of New
York City, who holds the world's
record for a half mile run, will
come South at once to train Mr.
Little for the race. Mr. Little
ias made some remarkable time
>n the Lenoir College athletic
ield, and his friends are conn
' lenv, that he will come out with
1 he world's record when the race
s finished.
Beautiful Tribute to His
Mother.
Archibald Johnston in Charity and Chil
dren.
"There left the earth for the
Happy Land, on Tuesday night,
May 16, a woman who was not
known to many people in this
world, hut who was well acqain
ted in the other. She was a
modest and retiring little body,
but possessed qualities of mind
and heart that belong only to
the favored few. Her death was
beautiful. As her children sat
about her bedside thev noticed a
strange silence. Without ont
sign of struggle she slipped
away. Her going caused no com
motion. Her end was perfect
Deace. She died as she had
lived. It wa3 fitting that a life
so unobtrusive and so gentle
should close serenely. Those of
us who called her Mother are
bereft indeed!"
"AFTER IS YEARS
I AM WEIL"
Mrs. Mary Amanda Nash, of Lambert on,
N. C.. writes: "For years 1 waa a
Tere sufferer from chronic dysentery,
brought on by acute Indigestion. It also
brought on catarrhal headache which de
bilitated me so 1 had to He down three or
four hours each day. My gtneral health
was greatly impaired, and 1 was weak and
nervous. One day I had cne of tbose ter
rific headaches, and my daughter-in-law
suggested that 1 try Mrs. Joe Person's
Kemedy. 1 did so, and the very first
dose relieved that headache. I continued
to use it, and for the first time in flfteet
years 1 am well. It is the best medicine
compounded in this world."
Most people regard stomach trouble?-
(and these include Indigestion, Dyspepsia
Sour Stomach, Nervousness, etc.) as of
little consequence in their early stages.
Never was a more serious tnlatak* made.
•When the appetite is cone, the nerves
shattered, the temper ruined, the body
emaciated, spasms of pain frequent, aounO
sleep impossible, refreshing rest unknown,
they wake up to the fact that ston»a«-l
trouble is a serious matter. When thi
6t:ise is reached, the only thing in th
world that will ture yyu is
MRS. JOE PERSON'S REMEDY.

juice, and brings every portion of th
stomach back to normal health. It Is :

Because your case is a difficult one,

not continue to suffer without giving

many cases of female ills, such as in
flammation, ulceration, displacements,
