THE OLD SOLDIKK.
When it conies to the question
of treatment of the old soldier the
l)tmier:itic nartv is anxious to
M .
compare records with the Repnbli
Sometimes it happens that
the Democrats give a man, a white
wan, who was not a Confederate
soldier, a nomination for an office
over an old soldier. But the Re
publicans when they had a chance
to give an office to an old one-leg
jreil soldier or a big buck ni.ger
who wanted the same ofii?e gave
the.oflice to the nigger. This was
a true test of what these Republi
can office holders thought of the
old soldier. A negro aud a one
legged soldier wanted an office aud
they all with one accord voted for
and pave the office to the colored
ihuu. In the face of this record
they sometimes talk alout the old
soldier. Then too the Demcratic
party claims the credit of pension
ing the old soldier, while many Re
publicans are dead on paying him
a red cent. They are not sincere
in what they say along this line.
Their duplicity will overtake them.
It pays in the long run to be both
fair and sincere in all

things.
The above sounds mighty nice,
coming from a party which has
been guilty of the same thing and
worse. If the "very learned" edi
tor of the Dispatch will take the
Senate Journal of 1872 and '73 aud
look on page 7, he will gee where
liis party, the Democrats, elected
Guilford Christmas, a negio assist
ant door-keeper over Ochiltree and
Douglass, white men and ex con
federate soldiers. Some people are
either ignorant or presume upon
the igiiorauce of the people in such
matters, but the people are not
Koing to le deceived by the nigger
yell this year. Sound money, pro
tection, ami good prices for the
farmer's products are of more im
portance than to put a few nigger

J. D. Hoixras, Co. Sup't.
The above is copied from the
14
times of Julv 8th. We
uUl like to know why this notice
a given to The Record. Are
hiA Republicans- interested in- the
cause of education, and should they
not have an equal chance to know
of these public examinations ! Is
it the purpose of the Sup't to fix
things so only Democrats can go to
the A. & M. College! Is not the
A. & M. College a State institution
maintained out of the people's taxes!
Do not Republicans pay taxes,
ana have they not a right to the;
benefits of these free scholarships as
well as Democrats! "We have offered
our colums to Prof. Hodges fre3 of
charge for such notices, and we are
surprised that he does not avail
himself ot them. The Republicans
in their platform charges the Dem
ocrats with using our public schools
for the interest of their partizan
machine, and we think justly so.
The Superintent of our schools has
no love for the editor of The
Record, but he should not deprive
Republican boys of these advant
ages because it his personal dis
likes. We publish these notices,
not because of any admiration for
him, but for the good of the gen
eral public, and to advance the
cause of education. Partizan poli
tics should lie kept out of our pub
lie school system i
please tell us.
Even some of the Republican
papers are having some fun out of
Senator Lodge's platform at the
Republican Convention in Chicago.
He wrote it himself and in one sec
tion he says that all panics have
followed a Democratic tariff. Just
as a matter of history it may be
stated that every panic since the war
came under a Republican tariff
That of 1892 wasduring Clevlaud's
administration, it is true, but it was
under the McKinley tariff aud the
panic was six months old before the
Wilson bill, a Democratic measure,
was ever enacted. Greensboro
Record.
If the alnvve contention of our
Democratic friends is true, will
they please tell us why it took a
j Republican administration to bring
about good times! Mr. Cleveland
was elected in 1802, and soon there
after the Democratic tariff was
euacted into law. Yet we find de
pression and- hard times until 1897,
when McKinley was President, and
low prices were continued under
Mr. Cleveland's entire administra
tion, yet they would have the people
believe that the Republicans were
responsible for their administration,
and the hard times which charac
terized, it. You may be able to
fool some of the people with such
stnff but not all of them by a jug
full. The greatest strides and de
velopment have taken place under
the Republicans, and the people
know it, Mr. Democrat, and you
can't sift sand in their eyes.
NO WON DEB CRIME IS RAMPINT.
At the last term of the Wilkes
Superior Court when a bill should
have been drawn by the Solicitor
against D. N. Edwards aud J. T.
Evans charged with perjtiry, Solici
tor Graves rose iu open court aud
made the following remarks: - 'May
it please your Honor: This is a pre
sentment against the defendants for
perjury, for things they swore iu
the nrosecution of H. F. Jones for
perjury, and upon their testimony
the said Joucs was convicted, and
I therefore refuse to prosecute this
case against them.
Is it any wonder that crime is
rampant when the Solicitor, whose
sworn duty is to prosecute crimi
nals, lefuses in open court to prose
cute those charged with so grave a
crime as perjury ! As to the gui t
of II. F. Jones we do not pretend
to say, but at any rate the verdict
was set aside by Judge Starbu-.k.
If. these parties are guilty why not
prosecute them ! Since the charge,
why not investigate ! Doe3 the So
licitor refuse to prosecute these mew
because they are Democrats! It
looks like that might be the reason.
If Edwards and Evans were some
boor fellows charged with even less
offerees would tne solicitor u
gracefully refuse to prosecute them!
We expect not. Then what has
! thwarted the band ot j nance in
this case I,- What may we expect
our Democratic officials to do next!
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION "'
The .Couventiott assembled at St,
Louis on the 6th inst. and complet
t.v KiiniTsir mornimT: uom-
inatihg Jmlge Alton B. Parker of
New York, for President, and
Henry G. Davis ot West Virginia,
for Vice-President.
They had a strenuous time, and
the Demociatic papers character
ized it, a mob. Men who are more
intent on winning office and power
often lose their heads and resolve
themselves into a mob rather than
a deliberative assembly.
The platform is made up of de
nunciations of Republicans, and
promises nothing to the people.
Their cowardice was shown by
their ignoring one of the great ques
tions which lie at the foundation of
business prosperity Sound money.
They were afraid to declare for 16
to 1, and equally afraid to endorse
the gold standard. The people
cannot be deceived by such a
dodge, and the actiou ot the Demo
crats will only increase Roosevelt's
majority.
The business element prefer cer
tainty to uncertainty, and can turn
to the Republican party to carry
out its party platform and pledges
in the interest of the people,

The Second Annual Farmers'
Convention for North Carolina will

Further information can be ob
tained by addressing the Secretary,
C. W. Bnrkett, West Raleigh, N. C.
The Democrats nominated Mr.
Davis, of West Virginia, Sunday
morning, for Vice-President. We
wonder if they thought they could
capture the christians aud all the
preachers by violating the sacred
injunction, to keep the Sabbath
day holy.
Mr, Bryan was not able to carry
the cargo, but he was able to so dis
able the ship that she is beyond all
doubt unsea worthy. The ship is
turned toward the shore and the

at his post in Raleigh, and he had

LOVE IS BLIND.
By Dr. B. Af. Griffin.
Love sees not with the eyes.
But with the mind,
'Tis not intellectual exercise,
For some Cupids are blind.
It sees not the rugged features,
Nor can I tell why.
It knows it loes the creature,
Though death be nigh.
The mofet unprepossessing,
Have eclipsed the fair. -And
no re:ison confessing,
Not even beautiful hairw
Womau's love requires imagination
To engender the highest degree
Mystery must be a condition
To attain its perfection in thee.
It knocks without invitation,
An intruder udou our will.
The object unworthy solicitation.
The sentiments of love to instill.

READ THESE.
Democratic issues never live to be
four-year-olds.
The country is not yet ready to
forget the four years of Cleveland
disaster between 1893 and 1807,
Voters are invited by the Repub
lican party to study its record ; the
Democrats earnestly hope that
their 's may be forgotten.
Democratic managers are now
t do nndpp wise leadersbin. It,
would certainly be a novel experi-1 Southern paper. That is certainly

Farmers in the Mississippi valley j Jiss attend to these duties lor the
want 500,000 men to help them Iast elSnt yars-
harvest their crops. There is never
any shortage oi available ueip
when the Uemocrats are in iiower.
The Republican party seeks the
vote of the farmer because it has
furnised him better markets and
better prices for his products than
ever before. The Democratic party
never expects the farmer's vote ex
cept when he has been ravaged by
drought aud the chinch bug.
Reports from the commercial
agencies show tnat mere nas ueen
marked levival of business all
along the line in the last two weeks.
Every report of this kind is an ad
ditional note in the Democratic
elegy of grief.
In replv to the Democratic ex
pressions of fear of imperialism the
Republican administration points
to Cu'ki and Panama as two new
Republics that have been added to
the world's map and two noble ;
contributions to the cause of human
advancement that have been under
the sponsorship of Piesident Roose
velt and a loyal Congress;
Democratic leaders are denounc
ing Mr. Bryan for standing on the
platform of his party. There is no
other polical organization iu the
world that places a premium on
desertion. j
Vetrans of the civil war are abont
convinced that theouly way they am
escape the criticisms of the Demcj
crats on the pension question is to j
die.
About the only thing the real,
American,thinking Democrats have
to be thankful for is that their
party did not win in 1890 or 1900.
Voters will doubtless observe
that no foreign power is thinking
or talking about overthrowing the
Monroe Doctrine just uow.
Democratic leaders assert that
the Republican Convention at Chi
cago was apathetic. It may have
seemed that way to politicians who
have drawn upon Populists and
Socialists for enthusiasm at con
ventions.
Democrats declare they want to
clean out the Augean stables. The
appearance of the men selecred for
the task causes a natural suspicion
that it would be the part of wis
dom to lock up the fork.
There is mere prospect of the
Republicans carrying Missouri than
there is of their losing New York.
' Uncle Joe " Cannon declares
that "We Move On" is the Re
publican motto. " We Want On "
about the only proposition upon
which the wrangling factions of
Democracy can unite.
What a fix the Democratic party
would be in if its leaders followed
the Japanese plan of committing
suicide when they make mistakes.
" How far away are the stars! "
asks a magazine writer. We do
not know exactly, but they are not
so far away as a Democratic victory
iu the nation.
Democrats promise to slough off
the 8cals of Populism aud Social
ism, but it will take a good deal of
timefor thesoresto heal sufficiently
to warrant them in appearing in
public.
An idea of Democratic harmony
may be gained from the fact that
every leader dodges and shudders
when another leader endorses him .
Every now and then some Demo
crat reaches a smouldering campfire
and tries to fan some ember into
the blaze of a new issue, only to
find that he has struck the spot
ohere the Republican hostscamped
wur years ago.

Democrats profess to be terribly J
worried over President Roosevelt's
"aggressive foreign policy." Rai

who refuse to respect the rights of

in this respect.
