NUMBER 8
Peril of Powers.
The Republican party was too
l0g entrenched in power in our
national government. Any party
that the people continue in authori
ty for a long series of years will
become not ouly insolent and an
miudfnl of the peoples' interests.
but positively corrupt. The bet
ter element in the party will be
pushed aside and hence assume
control. The lobby investigation
now gil,g ou ia Wa8ningt0I is re
vealiug some things that go to
prove the truth of this statement.
If the Democrats had been more
aggressive Jiud successful Mulhall
would not have had the story that
he told before the committee which
is probing into the affairs of the
"invisible" government. It is in.
accordance with human nature that
when an office holder has no fear
of displacement he becomes bold in
the things that under other con
ditions he would fear to undertake.
The same thing is true of any
poor weak mortals after all. The
Democratic party in North Carolina
needs a fright. It is drunk with
power. Because our leaders were
afraid of giving offence to a certain
class of citizens nothing has been
done to relieve the financial situa
tion, ami the last legislature, in
stead of remedying the evils in our
very inefficient system of taxation,
simply issued bonds to pay the
debts the state owned, and made
uo provisions whatever for the
raising of revenue to meet the
steadily increasing expenditure.
It is all folly to say that nothing
can be done. Something can be
done, and something must be done;
but it is a great deal easier to do
the thing that is right and neces
sary when the legislators are scared
than when they are perfectly com
placeut. Jf the two parties in this
state were more evenly, balanced
you would see a very different sit
uation. For the very reason that
the parties in the government of
Great Britain are a constant check
on each other, that government is
much more responsive to the will
of the people than ours. To have
unlimited power without abusing
it is a state of virtue to which
American politicians have not yet
attained. Charity and Children.
Ministerial Jealousy.
Greensboro Record. .
Time was when professional men
did not get along well together, but
this day has passed . . Physicians,
lawyers and all now dwell together
iu perfect good will, but it seems
ministers some at least do not
work together. An incident which
it is not well to mention in full is
said to have occurred here recently
here one refused to officiate at a
funeral unless given full rein. In
other words, he refused to officiate
if a mauister of another denomina
tion was so assist him. Judge not
that ye be not judged, is mighty
good doctrine, but we do not mind
saying that if the facts as reported
ar true, some one is mightly in
need of religion. Of course there
are certain barriers between some
denominations of widely different
beliefs, but this was not the case
1D this instance.
An Officer's Duty.
The Louisburg Times observes
tflat "an officer cannot be expected
to enforce the laws when he knows
he wih receive the criticism of the
Public for so doing." It is natural
for an officer not to do what is un
popular, but it is hi hnsinPSH to
a his duty, regardless of what the
TnVO:
ruuc may say. An officer takes

When it comes down to a ques
tion of dress, a writer in the
Wesleyan Methodist, of Syracuse,
New York, says:
If girls had a faint idea of the
disgusting sight they present or
could hear some of the unmanly,
disoluie remarks made about them
as they pass along the streets clad
in transparent waists, or one of
those short, outlandish tight-gripping,
hobble skirts, they would
feel so ashamed that if they had a
spark of virtue left in them they
would go to their rooms and get
out of sight somewhere till they
had a sensible dress to put on.
How can they expect people to dis
tinguish them from the low and
corrupt if they dress exactly like
theml
Never in history were the modes
so abhorrently indecent as they
are today. One may make the
closest study of costumes through
the prints and drawings and sculp
tures of five thousand years, and
find nothing to equal the shameless
styles worn unabashed iu the
erowded streets and summer resorts
of apparently respectable girls.
Running For Money.
Not often do you find a caudidate
iu politics frank and candid en
ough to tell the reason why he is
running for office. Usually he
would have the people believe that
he was dragged into the race by
"many voters," when as a matter
of fact the voters never go out and
loot for a candidate, but candi
dates on the" other haud go out and
look for tne voters. A central Ken
tucky man put the following card
in hisrpaper:
"l am a candidate for the "office
of jailer, not for the sentiment of
glory, but for the money there is
in ft. Was not asked to run by
Many Voters. Many Democrats, '
or anyone else, but am running on
my own responsibility. Haven't
a blood relative in the county; do
not nor will hot belong to any
clique. Am not goody good or tin
saint; have my faults, as most
people have, but if elected to the
responsible positions of jailer will
guarantee to care for the county's
property in the very best posssble
manner," Cleveland Star.
Moore County's Experience.
In Moore County land is selling
now for fiive times what it could
have been bought tor before the
advent of the sand-clay road in
that section. And the example of
Moore county is being generally
followed by the adjoining counties
so that within a short time the
whole sandhill section will be as
attractive for its good roads as any
part of the eastern states. Now.
we do not believe that good roads
are entirely responsible for the
great increase in the value ot Moore
county lands, because the com
paratively new knowiedge of how
to make the sandnill land proauce
hiff croDS and the discovery mat ic
is a .fine fruit sectien has largely
affected the price. However, prices
would never have reacnea anyining
lifcp what thev are unless the roads
had been improved. Charlotte

Excursionist Walked Into Well.
Morganton Messenger.
John Butter, the colored porter
at Hotel Morgan, had an experi
ence Friday night that he will not
soon forget. John had returned
on the excursion from Norfolk that
day and had not fully recovered
from the effects of same. He was
on his way home in the Jonesboro
section about dark. - There is an
old well near the road and as John
wa s somewhat unsteady on his legs,
he found the well, which is about
20 feet deep, and remained in the
same about four hours until some
of his friends who were passing
heard distress signals. He was
rescued, somewhat disfigured, but
not seriously hurt.
UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST.
The Old Joke about "Something Just as
Good," Doesn't Apply to
This Drug Store.
You have probably heard dozens
of times the old story that a drug
store was a place to ' get something
just as good." There is at least one
druggist in the world that you can't
say this about.
It is certain that an inferior article
will never be substituted for a guar
anteed one by D. H. Hendricks &
Son, Bixby, N. C. Take for instance
a safe, reliable remedy for constipa
tion and liver trouble like Dodson's
Liver Tone. This harmless vegetable
liquid has proved so satisfactory a
liver stimulant and reliever of bilious
ness, and to entirely take the place
of calomel without any danger of re
striction of habits or diet, that there
are dozens of preparations springing
up with imitations of its claims. j
But Dodson's Liver 1 one is guar
anteed to do all that is clamed for it,
D. H. Hendricks & Son, Bixby, N. C.
will hand your money back with a
smile. Any person going to this
store for a bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone will be sure of getting a large
bottle of this genuine remedy in ex
change for his half dollar.

The Freedom of Young Girls.
Fayetteville Observer.
Twenty -five years ago it was con
sidered very bad taste, to say the
least, for ladies to walk the streets
at night unattended. But the
times are changed 1 Now little
girls and big girls promenade the
streets, go into the stores and ice
cream saloons and even attend
shows with no chaperon or person
of mature years. If there come no
worse results, we believe that such
liberties allowed girls will not only
engender in them a distaste for
home, but that in their days ol
womanhood the word home may
mean to them simply a boarding
and lodging house. - But other and
far worse results are apt to follow
in the wake of unrestrained free
dom of young people to go and
come as they choose. Let parents
consider these things.

son of the late Senator Z. B. Vance
and retired olficer of the TJ. S. A.,

between the French Broad and a
mountain top. He does not say
that he has any aspirations in that
direction, but his friends are look

will blossom out as a fell-fledged
professor in farm demonstration

Remarkable Cure of Dysentery.
"I was attacked with dysentery about
July 15th, and used the doctor's medicine
and other remedies with no relief, only
getting worse all the time. I was unable
to do anything and my weight dropped
from 145 to 125 pounds. I suffered for
about two months when I was advised to
use Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. I used tWo bottles of
it and it gave me permanent relief," writes

"Humph! when he gets 5,000

Good Reason for His Enthusiasm.
When a man has suffered for several
days with colic, diarrhoea or other" form
of bowel complaint and is then cured
sound and well by one or two doses of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, as is often the case, it is but
natural that he should be enthusiastic in
his praise of the remedy, and especially is
this the case of a severe attack when life
is threatened. Try it when in need of
such a remedy. It never fails. Sold by
