Eller, in which the former seeks to justify his vote against free lumber, which was promised in the National Democratic plat form. Mr. Simmons made a public claim that the North Carolina Democratic campaign literature had released him from voting for free lumber. Says the Senator referring to one of chairmar. Eller's circulars: The circular after commenting upon the platform declaration, argues strenuously that putting lumber on the free list will not hurt the industry and then in effect it tells those interested in this industry that, however they may disagree with this con tention, they may rest assured that the Democrats would not put lumber on the free list, it being a Southern product, unless there should be coupled with it the placing on the free list of all articles, enterirg into competition with trust controlled articles, as their platform demands and which would tend to largely cheapen the expense of the man ufacture of lumber. Mr. Eller in a public letter scouts the idea of this circular releasing the Senator from the national platform pledges, Mr. Eller says he didn't write the cir cular and only read its head lines, and rather seeks to shirk responsibility for it. Senator Simmons has written a second reply to Mr. Eller about the matter. To our mind neither gentleman is entirely unblama ble. The Senator evidently jumped at the chance to have a good excuse to vote against the platform promise. Mr. Eller is responsible for carelessness in letting the circular go oat in the shape it did. MOLES. There is a difference of opinion among certain of the ablest agriculturalists, ot this section as to the noxiousness of the blind and meandering mole. For instance, Mr. H. Ellis Mc- Comb, who is one of the keenest observers of nature in this sec tion, maintains that the mole is an innocent little blind varmint, who destroys more bugs than he does seeds. He declares that he never knew a mole to do any harm in his garden. He thinks moles maybe eat bugs and worms- He is remarkably hospitable to the mole, and would have him a pet mole if the creature was not so i lind as to be absolutely unin teresting above ground. Now on the other hand, Mr. J. Frank Allen is another fine farm er and beats the burg on water melons and canteloupes every .season. He hates a mole like t ie devil is supposed to hate holy water. He keeps one of these drop knife mole traps working all the time. He says a mole is worse than a crow after corn, and when you have a poor stand you can just politely lay it to the charge of Mr. Mole. Now who is right? vVe know that Mr. Allen is an authority on foxes but is he as well up on the nole and its habits? Mr. Mc- Oomb has a great deal of the milk of humankindness in his yeins. He is always ready to iivvy on cherries with the cat oird. He may be a wee bit too charitable to the mole. We would like to hear from )ur farmer readers on this point. The Seitzes, the Lutz's, the Clines, the Bargers, the Bolicks, che Hermans, the Whiteners, che Shufords. the Millers, the tCizziabs, the Sherrills, the Bow mans, the Arndts, —can any ol you gentlemen tell us who is right? WHO IS THE TADPOLE'S PA? The Charlotte Observer, hav ing answered satisfactorily the question, "do a nany goat have horns,'' propounded by one of its youthful readers, and being a cyclopaedia on science in general, the Democrat would like for it to straighten out a tangle for us. ~)ne of our constant readers was in this week to ascertain if the tadpole is not the progeny ot Air. and Mrs- Hoppytoad, of Dryland, and not of Mr. and Mrs. Bullfrog, of Creekbottom. He insisted that he had the geneal right but we took issue with him and we want confirmation of our stand in the matter. Toad frogs don't wear green coats, neither do they furnish the produce market with chicken legs, as do the bullfrogs. There fore we maintain that Bre'r Bullfrog is the papa of little son ny Tadpole. We would like to hear from the craft in general on this sub ject. Kluttz, Clark, Harris, Phil lips, London, et al, how about it? HENRY BLOUNT Henry Blount's lecture was s'imly attended in Newton last week. Mr. Blount is a genius. He ought always to have a big crowd to hear him. His lan guage has the color of the equa torial tropics; his wit is natural and unforced; his wisdom is aiministered in epigram and illustration, so that it can be etsily paeked in the book shelves of the brain-cell for future ref erence. Blount's career as a lecturer would have been worth while if he had not said anything but this,as near as we can recall: "The milk white horse of Op portunity, already saddled and bridled, stops once before man's threshold —but only once. If he is not at once mounted, the clanging of his hoofs will soon be heard dying away in the dis anceof Time's roadway—and it will ba forever too late. TRAVIS GOT THE PLUM. Governor Kitchin has appoint ed E. L. Travis, of Halifax, cor poration commissioner to succeed the late H. C. Brown. Travis is one of the most astute politicians in the state and was a lieutenant general in the campaign of Kitch in against Craig. He is a very able man. The commission lost a splendid member in Mr. Brown. He had a genius for facts, figures and schedules, which few men have. Were'nt you really glad of the chance, Senator Simmons. Simmons and Eller have both made lumbering excuses. It would have better if Sim mons and Eller had both sawed wood and said nothing. Simmons and Eller, each to the other at the same time: "First remove the saw-log from thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to remove the saw-dust from mine." The Democrat takes it as a sort of unexpected but neverthe less appreciated affidavit to the fairness of its contest that one of the first canidates to enter was Neva Gamble, who is, we believe, the charming daughter of our worthy register of deeds at New ton. a cure. I wis finally told by a friend to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial and I did so, getting nay supply at Moser & Lutz's Drug Store. I used in all three boxes and since that time I have had little cause to worry about my con dition. I do not hesitate to give Doan's Kidney Pills the entire credit for my cure." The Passing of Father Ed wards. Rev. T. rd. Edwards died a l , his home at Rutherford, on Sun lay the 9th, ?ged 81 years and 6 months. He was Educator, Soldier and Gospel minister. For-52 years he waved the Gospel banner, less the time he served the lost cause. His work was in Gaston county wnen tht war clouds rose. With his known ability to do things, he got up a full company of six months vol unteers. When their time of enlistment expired, he resigned. Father Edwards was a native of Orange countv. He was married four times* His last wife survives ! him. . After his war experience, he re mounted his horse. Armed with saddlebags rilled with tracts, Bibles, and hymn-books, and with the Wesleyan Discipline in his vest pocket, he rode many circuits in the Mountain and Piedmont sections, till the in firmities of old age forced him to ; ask for superannuation. Father ; Edwards had strong convictions, was fearless in the discharge ot his duty; and we betide the churchman that dared disregard any rules of the discipline: for verily Father Edwards would ;go after him, and would fight under extreme provocation. Many weary days he suffered in | his later years, but bore it all without murmuring Like the : buffalo of the plains, he is almost the last of his race* we mean the old fashioned circuit rider. Ser ving half a dozen churches, i swimming rivers and swollen streams, preaching night and day in open harbors during the hot test months of the summer. Query: What has come to the Gospel minister, regardless of denomination? Of course all of them are mod eled after Christ and his Apos tles. vVe read no where in the Bible that they ever took an out ing, or grew tired of welldoing. Father Edwards' faith never failed him, though in the Shadow of Death. A brother minister, .•hose wife died a short while back, asked him if he would carry a message to heaven. "Oh yes," he replied, "I will see your Marj; I will tell her all about you." This conversation occurred just a few hours before he passed into the commatose stage. Father Edwards, like George Washington, closed his own eyes, crossed his arms across his breast and straightened out his limbs in anticipation of his death. We can truly accord to him the triumph of faith. He died un fraid. weet be the sleep of this good man, Soft on his bed of clay. Guarded for aye by God's own hand, Waiting the judgement day. Waiting the blast of Gabriel, Waking the righteous dead. Calling the saints to trial, To join them to Christ, their Head. Then to the life eternal, The life that shall never end, Then in that world supernal, A blest eternity he will spend. I Ever by angels attended, Winging the vast domain; By God's strong arm depended. Forever free from pain. Oxford Ford Items. i Correspondence of the Democrat. Rev. H. B. Hemmeter of St. Louis preached at St. Peter's recently. About 6 years ago, 1 Mr. Hemmeter preached here regularly. We sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. n. Ed Smith in the illness of iheir little boy. It is reported he has appendicitis. The writer was recently asked | whether he belonged, to the BoyS I Corn Club. Upon replying in the negative he was told that he had | the best piece of upland corn in the neighborhood. Deep winter plowing, manure and frequent shallow cultivation did the work. On July 16th a large company gathered ac the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hosea Hefner near Catawba Springs to celebrate Mrs. Hef ner's 58th birthday. About 165 persons gathered round the fes tive board which was laden with many good things. Mr. Noah Hefner of Alex. Co. who is in his 91st year, was present and ' enjoyed the day very much. Much interest is taken in the Democrat's contest and those fine prizes will certainly go to the best workers. P, C. H. Announcement. The regular annual meeting of ' the Farmers' Mutual Fire Ins.

Farmers Institutes will beheM at Sherrills Ford, Thursday, Aug. 3; Foard & YVhisnant's store, Aug. 4; Newton, Aug. 12 and Hickory Aug. 19, beginning at 9 o'clock. Women's institutes I will be held at the same places ' and dates. Fine programs have been prepared.

A premium of $1 for the best pure-bred pig between 8 and 12 weeks old exhibited by a man or boy living on the farm. Catawba growers of the sweet potatoes are informed that two barrels of the "Red" variety, large round tubers, were shiped from Camden county to Philadel phy last Wednesday, same being the earliest shipment the eastern tuckers ever knew. Thev fetch ed from $7 to $8 a barrel. Ca tawba potatoes have hardly got a good hold on the soil as yet; but, man, when they do come, look out! Those eastern 'taters can't touch 'em. The well known ex pression, "angel's food," was first applied to the Catawba coun ty potato. "Ambrosial" is the only fit adjective for it. Inci dentally we produce over 200,000 bushels without half trying. "AFTER IS YEARS i AM war Mra. Mary Amanda Nash, of Lumberton, N. C., writes: "For years I was a se vere sufferer 'from chronic dysentery, brought on by acute indigestion. It also brought on catarrhal headache which de bilitated me so 1 had to lie down three or four hours each day. My general health was greatly impaired, and I wan weak and nervous. One day I had cue of those ter rific headaches, and my daughter-in-law suggested that I 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 fifteen years I am well. It is the beat medicine compounded in this world." Most people regard stomach troubles (and these include Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Sour Stomach, Nervousness, etc.) as of little consequence in their early stages. Never was a more serious mistake made. When the appetite is gone, the merves jhattered, the temper ruined, the body iruaciated, spasms of pain frequent, sound leep impossible, refreshing rest unknown, hey wake up to the fact that stomach ■-rouble Is a serious matter. When this *tnge is reached, the only thing in the vorld that will ture you is ms. JDE PERSON'S REMEDY. Tt restores enerjry to inded digestive or. ■rans, stimulates a healthy flow of gastric nice, and brings every portion of the •tomach back to normal health.

JOE PERSWS REMEDY CO., KittrvlC & 6. Dr. Wm. E. Barker's Experi ence in London. (rVom the Rochester Times.) Ha'f a century ago there was no city in the world where an eminent speci alist had the opportunities that were presented to one in London; realizing this fact Dr. Barker, after" graduating from Heidelburg. located in London. His practice grew so rapidly that at the end of five years he established the largest practice of any physician in that city. His practice was confined to chronic cases only in the treatment of rheumatism, catarrh, kidney and bladder diseases. He used one never ! failing prescription—this same pres- I cription he had written thousands of j times; and he had seen patients come j into his office on cratches, who said ' they had been troubled with rheuma tism for 15 and twenty years, and after they used this special prescription for two or three days, they would come walking to his office, as nimbly as a school boy, and thank him for the good he had done them. The Doctor said in an interview that one man about 45 years old came to him one day and said he had been injured while working at the carpenter trade about 20 years before, and had suffered constantly since with kidney trouble. He had tried everything to get relief, but nothing seemed to do him any good. He askf-d the Doctor if he really knew anything that would cure him, and he told him of a never-failing remedy for all chronic cases like his. He wrote him a prescription and told him to take it for a week and then i come am let him know how he was | getting along. This man came back !to his office in just four days and said jhe had not felt as well in his life. He also stated that his daughtei, wnom he had taken out of school because her eyes were too weak to study, and she could hardly see from one of them at all; she had been treated by four eye specialists without relief, and after he ; had taken this prescription for two days he says he saw it was helping him so much he let her take some of it, and to their great surprise, she improved wonderfully almost from the first dose. He told him it was only a week's time after she commenced to take the medi cine until she could see as well as ever and was able to return to school. It was not until after hundreds of such remarkable cases had been treated by Dr. Barker with this same prescip tion that he was prevailed upon in the interest of humanity to allow the won derful prescription to be put up so that every sufferer could have it at a ; very small cost. The public can now secure this prescription under the name of bloodine, at drug stores, or The Blcodine Laboratories, Boston, ass., will supply a six weeks' treat ment (six bottles) for $2.50; 50 cents a bottle, trial bottle and booklet, 10 1 cents. Grimes Drug Co. Bullet in Boys Neck. Hickorv Democrat. * Ransom Deal, the little boy who was shot in the forehead by young Mr. Yount, as related by the Democrat last week, attract ed a good deal of attention Fri day while in town with his fath er, Mr. Sid Deal, to have his wound dressed. Dr. Menzies has located the bullet in the back of the lad's neck by the use of ! the X ray, and an effort will soon be made to extract it. It seems a miracle that the little felow, who appears to be about 10 years old, was not killed. The ball en tered directly over the left eye. For that distressed feeling after eat ing, belching and nausea belween meals, take Bloodine. It cures Dys pepsia by strengthening tha digestive organs so that they are capable of fv 1 filling their function.
