THE ARCHITECT OF THE
CONSTITUTION.
We have often wondered that
it was possible for so much o!
Shakespear's history to be ob
scured by the flight of time as ic
render possible the theory of
Baconian origin of the world's
masterpiece of literature.
And yet in this good year, 1911.
we learn that a modest but brain>
man by the name of Peletiah
Webster is the real father of the
American Constitution. A south
ern man, North Carolina born,
but belonging to Alabama by a
doption. Hon. Hannis Taylor
has dug up the fact in his book,
"The Origin and Growth of the
American Constitution,"
De Soaqueville said the Amer
ican constitution was based up an
"a wholly novel theory," That
theory consists of four things:
(1) A federal government armed
with the independent power ol
taxation; (2) the division of the
federal head into three depart
ments, legislative, executive,
judicial; (3) the division of fed
eral legislatstet into two cham
bers; (4) a federal government
with delegated powers, the resi
duum of power remaining in the
States.
Peletiah Webster published a
paper in Philadelphia on Feb. 16.
1883, and republished it in 1791,
entitled "A Dissertation on the
Political Union and the Constitu
tion of the Thirteen United States
of North America," in which h*
advanced these ideas.
There is now no doubt that
the convention of 1877 used Pel
eitah Websters ideas as a nucleus
Madison of Virginia. Pincknev ol
South Carolina and Hamilton oi
New York had made drafts of e
proposed constitution, and they
all appear to have drawn freely
from Webster's paper; and thus
disappears the idea that these
three men, working separately at
their homes, evolved the same
ideas of government. Indeed,
Madison acknowledgts his in
debtedness to Webster and is
certain that Hamilton, and proba
bly Pinckney, knew him per
sonally.
How could the fact that this
obscure man is-the architect of
our great Constitution have been
lost? He himself was quiie
modest; and then, too, the delib
eration of the Convention was
kept secret because it was feared
to let the people know about the
fierce disputes which well nigh
prevented the cementing of tU
union. Bancroft mentions Web
ster's essay but not being a law
yer failed to grasp its significant
and scope. Thus history place,
a belated laurelwreath.

this point.

JUDGE BENNETT.
The Democrat has been sig
nally honored by having no less
a master mind than that of the
Hon. Risden Tyler Bennett con
tribute to its col urns. The judge
never writes without saying
something. Originality is thf
normal state of his mind and the
children of his brain are always
sheathed in coats of many colors.
Like the lovely girl, fairy blessed,
in the storv book, it is impossible
for the judge to speak without
the dripping from his lips ol
pearls and jewels. The Statt
loves the fine old Sear of Anson,
and he appreciates their affec
tion. Says he in a letter to the,
Democrat:
"Tie dear blessed people ol
our state have made me happv
by their show of confidence in m.\
professions. Without any great
support of influential kin, though
always possessed of a full dinner
pail, I have clung to the hand of
the people over rough places and
Oy a sort of talent for the selec
tion of the best, find mysell
the friend of Law, consistently
hostile to disorder."
God Working in the Dark.
"The Lord caused the sea to
back all that night,"
Exodus xiv: 21.
In this verse there is a com
forting message showing how
God works in the dark. The reai
work of God for the children ol
Israel was not when they awak
ened and found they could get
over the Red Sea, but it was "all
that night."
So there may be a great work
ing in your life when it all seems
dark, you cannot see or trace,
out yet God is working. Just as
truly did He work "all the night,"
is all the next day. The next
day simply manifested what God
had done during the night. Is
there any one reading these lines
who may have gotten to a place
where it seems dark? You be
lieve to see, but you are not see
ing. In your life progress there
is not constant victory; the daily,
undisturbed communion is not
there, and all seems dark.
"The Lord caused the sea tc
go back all that night."
Do not forget that it was "all
that night." God works all the
night, until the light comes. You
may not see it, but all this night
in your life, as you believe God,
He works.
"All that night" the Lord was
working, working in the temp
est blast,
Working with the swelling cur
rent, flooding, flowing, fret
and fast.
"All the night" God's childrer
waited, hearts perhaps ir.
agony,
With the enemy behind them am.
in front the cruel sea.
"All that night" seemed blacke>
dtrkness than they ever saw.
before,
Though the light of God's owr.
presence near them was and
sheltered o'er.
''AH that night" that weary vigil
passed; the day at last did
break,
And they saw that God was
working "ail that night"
path to make.
"All that night," 0 child of sor
row, canst thou not thy heart
break stay?
Know thy God in darkest mid
night works, as well as in tht
day. L. S. P.

Gline at Elkubeth.
Kliza:eth Cilv Independent.
This then is to introduce Hon.
E. B. Cline, N uth Carolina Su
perior Court Judge, who is now
presiding over t-he courts of the
First Judcial District. Judge
Cline opened Superior Court at
Currituck Monday. He hails
from Catawba County in the far
west and this is his first trip to
the East.
When you see Judge Cline you
will quickly conclude that he
must be the youngest Superior
Court Judge in North Carolina.
But you will gueSs wrong, rie
isn't. He only looks young. He
nas passed forty, but will never
look old. Whom the Gods love
die young, no matter how long
they live.
Judge Cline is al>out the most
affable and the most democratic
judge you ever saw. While pos
sessing all the dignity thai is ex
pected of his office he has none
of the haughtiness which some
men in high places confuse with
dignity.
He made a good impression at
Currituck, though he may have
offended Solicitor Ehrinshaus by
praising an editorial from The
independent and reading it to the
jury.
The Independent regrets that
it hasen't a portrait of Judge
Cline to show its readers. A
portrait would show a gentleman,
a judge and a good fellow; it
would show the homely geniality
of a Gov. Aycock attired to the
estate of a New York Fifth Ave
nue or an Atlantic City Board
Walk. It would show the smile
chat is quick to win women anci
children and cheer the spark ol
hope in the criminal's breast. It
would show a man confident ol
himself, grateful for the confi
dence of the people and hope ol
' the future. You will like him.

"MY BLOOD IN
FINE CONDITION"
Every sufferer from Blood Poison sliouid
read what Mrs. G. F. Aledliu, of Weldoo,
N. 0., says of her experience: "I was a
terrible sufferer from Blood Poison. If tlie
skin would be broken, the fleeh would be
come inflamed, itch and burn, and develop
into sores. Before the birth of one of my
children, my whole body became fearfully
•wollen, and 1 was in a serious condition
generally. I used Mrs. Joe Person's Rem
edy and it cured me. My blood Is in fine
condition. I believe if it had not been for
Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy I would have
died. Its Talue is priceless."
Away back in the days of Moses it was
said, "In the blood thereof is the life,"
aud never wore truer words spoken. This
vital fluid is the essence of life and health,
aud when it becomes impure, impover
ished or poisoned the reeult is debility,
weakness, loss of vitality, energy and life
Itself. Without good blood, good health is
impossible. ft
'MRS. JOE PERSON'S REMEDY
is a sure specific for all troubles due to
impure, impoverished and poisoned blood,
such as Eczema, Old Sores, Scrofula, and
the long train of attendant ailments, in
cluding Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Stoma-h
Troubles, Nervousness, Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Female Troubles, and general "run
down" conditions in both men and women.
It feeds the blood, drives out every ves
tige of poison, tones up the nervous sys
tem, Induces sound and refreshing sleep,
and brings the entire body back to Its
natural healthy condition.
Mrs. foe Person's Remedy Is acientlft
cally prepared from purely vegetable In
gredients. It positively contains no opiate
or narcotic of any kind, no lodide of Potas
sium or other mineral—Just a compound of
helpful herbs, nature's own remedy for tin
man ills.
As a Tonic, Alterative. Blood purifier or
Nervine, It has no equal. It quickly con
quers Nervous Prostration and Insomnia.
