Friends did you ever atop m think why a cow makes such ex- ra0rdinory effort to exercise her ,U0ff9wbeQ she loses her calf! - u ghe does it because her heart rpaks in two and one piece of it ticks up io hr throat and rattles hen she breathes.

The Washington Star flouts the idea that the Republican party is dead and cites the successful re habitation of the Democratic party to prove that a big party cannot be obliterated. It says: The Republican party dead? The wish is father to the thought, es pecially as respects such Democrats as are harboring and expressiLg the opinion. It might be better for them to proceed upon the op posite opinion, and tread warily, lest a reckless or hastily calculated course deliver them into the hands of their old enemy, sobered by the recent experience and in fettile a gain. What a hardy organization the Democratic party has shown itself to be? In the past half century what punishment it has taken! How quickly it has recovered from drubbings which at the moment seemed finishers! Although through, a split the party had! appeared to go to pieces in 1860, four years later it was strong enough to threaten seriously the reelection of Mr. Lincoln. The full power of that masterful politician was necessary to guide the Republican party to success. Although McClellan's defeat had been so signal in 1&J4, the Demo cracy was strong enough four years later to command the leadership of Horatio Seymour, one of the most accomplished men of the day, and force the Republicans to nominate the military hero of the civil war. Seymour was defeated, but four years later the Democracy's pros pects were bright until a so-called independent movement, composed in part of disgruntled Republicans and amateur Democratic politicians dished them by the nomination of Mr. Greeley. And four years later not withstanding that flamboyant fiasco, as able a man as Samuel J. Tilden was found to lead the party and he came within one election vote of the prize. And was ever a party in more demoralyzed plight than the De mocracy in the spring of 1896, just ' . . 1 I 4! t prior to tne nomiuauou ui ju.. Bryan? Mr. Cleveland had made an unprecedented mess of things, and the party seemed adrift and sinking. But Mr. Bryan, an inex perienced skipper, took command. and steered the craft to port.

Heretofore very little cotton has been raised in Burke, while in our neighborhood counties, Catawba, Cleveland and Rutherford, it is one of the principal crops. But some of our farmers are now raising cot ton, and at a profit, and next year will no doubt see increased acreage in the staple.' The Alpine Cotton Mills has a cotton gin and Mr. Er nest Erwin, the secretary and trea surer, tells us that he has already ginned about 50 bales of this year's Burke county cotton. He also tells us that the farmers who have tried cotton this year are so well pleased they will increase the acreage next year. Rockefeller Invests In North Caro lina Sand Hills. Charlotte Observer. The Thoma8ville Davidsonian thinks the recent purcnase of 27, 000 acres of sand hill land near H fttnan, on the Seaboard Air Line, by John D. Rockefeller, means about as much fot North Carolina as Flagler's first purchase in Florida meant for that State. However that may be. The Obser ver feels sure that it spells some thing good in the way of develop ment in the Tar Heel State. The Davidsonian welcomes Rockefeller in the proper spirit. He has it in his power to make the dreary waste between Hamlet and Sanford 4blossom as the rose," and that is no doubt his idea. There are a few natural born carpers in every com munity there were some in Charl otte who wanted to keep out the Dukes But on ' the . whole, Mr. Rockefeller will find North Caroli na a State of Hospitality. Bishop Warns Preachers Against Debt, Over-Eating, Etc In his remarks to the preachers applying for admission into the Conference at.Fa3Tetteville, Bishop Denny emphasized the importance of the life seperated from the world upon the part of ministry, of pu rity, of language, freedom from debt, temperence in eating and the avoidance of idleness and of em ployment that is not beneficial. Speaking of debt, Bishop Denny said that a preacher had far better sell everything he owns and pay his debts than leave debts in any community he . has served. He said he had sold his bookcase and sofa on one of his appointments in ordr to avoid leaving a debt. "The most sensative nerve in the body politic," he said, "passes through the pocketbook." The bishop said further that when he was a very young man he resolved he would never allow any man to make his ear a "sewer-pipe for filthy language and that he had held to his resolve. He said he wished "sucti 1 a revival of purity of speech would come that every word men uttered would be suitable to be spoken in the presence of an angel. Speaking of abstiance, Bishop Denny said he did not know much about diatetics aud had nev er seen any man who did; but that be was certain that what a man does not eat never will hurt him and there is much more danger irom over eating than undereating. Ex. Tell a lie to save a friend and he will never be so grateful as to for get that you are a liar.

Good Name Not to Be Trifled With. Dan Briggs, a convict on the Buncombe connty chain gang, "broke away" a few days ago and after an absence of a day returned.
