I Often ' Deeeired bjr Ht Visual Orsraa. ; After trudging all day along the top of the mountain with no success at all,' Inasmuch as I had shot several times, but failed to bring down my game, I ran across an old hunter, J. W. Hyde. After the usual greeting we seated our selves on an old log to exchange notes. I put the question: . "Why are the turkeys always on the tun when I see them V The old man spit through his. teeth, changed his position, laid his long, muzzle loading rifle on the ground, put the fourth portion of a plug of tobacco In bis mouth and proceeded to tell me why the turkeys were always on the run when I saw them: - v "Of all the game I have ever hunted turkeys display the most wonderful power of vision. I cannot telj just why this is. I have made a microscop ical examination of the Ayes of the hawk, eagle, fox, Weasel and owl, but find no material difference in the lens and retina.: The ciliary muscles and the iris are.exactly.the same, yet none of, these keen vlsioned creatures can compare with the turkey In point of seeing. I remember the acuteness of sight displayed by one bid gobbler. bad carefully concealed myself, and no part of my body was visible but the upper part of my head. A puff of wind slightly disturbed the brim of my hat He saw it and Immediately took to flight - - . "On another occasion I was hunting in the mountains in Georgia.- I was lying behind a log and was carefully hidden, all but the upper part of my face., A turkey was slowly coming In response to my call and was carefully noticing for signs of danger. A mosquito was stinging me fearfully on the forehead. I raised my finger slowly to crush It and as soon as the finger came within range of vision cluck went the turkey, and he was gone. ';,:'-V?-'--:.f" "Npw, the most Inexplicable thing in regard to hunting turkeys Is that with all their acuteness of sight , the surest Way to get a shot is to sit down In an open place with your back against a tree, in full view, and, strange to say, they will walk up - within ten steps without seeing you." h' : Just then we noticed that the sun was down. The old hunter invited me to spend, the night at bis camp, which I did and bad a most pleasant tin1. Forest and Stream. . v. ' H Knew tbe Spot. , An amusing anecdote Is related of General Sherman, who. as command ing general of the army, visited West Point one June for the graduation ex ercises. He accompanied the com mandant on his Sunday morning tour of inspection of barracks, and on enter ing a certain room he walked over to the mantelpiece. . Stooping down, he pried Up a brick from the middle of the hearth with his sword scabbard and re vealed a hollow space about a foot sauare. in which was nicely packed a considerable quantity of tobacco and other contraband articles. ; Meanwhile the cadets occupying the room stood by mutely watching and wondering what sort of man the general was to have been able to discover the only "cellar" of Its kind in barracks. Turn ing to the commandant the general re marked:' "I have been wondering if that hole was still there. I made It when I was a cadet and lived In this room." New York Tribune, v .

Blackwell, in Wilmington Messenger, Disguise it as they may, there is a dis tinct drift in high circles toward a con: stitutional monarchy in this country The Declaration and the constitution are being referred to every day as being ''out of date;" an "absurdity;" and "an insult to intelligence." Hear this echo from the west in the Dea Moines ulobe: : "For a long time thinking people who have large commercial interests have felt unsaie with our; present lorm or govern meat. Now is a good time to do away with our obsolete constitution, and adopt a form of government that Will be low cal, with expansion Ideas, and will give ample protection to capital, "A constitutional monarchy is proba bly tbe most desirable plan that we could now adopt. Everything is-ripe for the change. " We believe that history and experience have proven beyond cavil that a republican form of government cannot subsist beyond a certain stage; that as soon as a people Decome rich stronar. and great, the repoiio aroopi and dies. We believe this IbIbo of neces- eity.and not by chance. W'n believe that there is not a single case on record where the mosses of a great nation, possessed the intelligence to initiate laws, and were intelligent to control enforcement oi such good laws as they might pass, it would eeem as if science teaches that men were created to follow their masters the in spired minds of the world; History shows that a king must be and is found in every nation, to guide its people in every great crisis, .neither is the change tp be dreaded or looked forward to with foreboding. ' While we are in fact largely under the conditions of a monarchy, we have the evils without the benefit of the same." The Armv and Navv Journal of Wash ibgton, D. C, reflects the feeling of our yet to be "imperial" (l) armyand navy "Fate has decreed for us a ' destiny ' in which an imperial executive, free from tbe restraints of a written constitution, will govern the colonies according to his own ideas." ' v.'; "'. . The following, in the same line, is from the Investor's Ileview, published at Bos ton, Mass: a i ;' ' .' . . 'It is folly to assert that the policy of this country shall ne gorerneo 0 absurd maxims uttered more than ' a hundred years ago. 1 he greatest evil which now confronts us is the clamor about the old Declaration of Independence, to the effect that all men ought to be free and eaual This is merely generalization of the doc trines of Voltaire and the encyclopedists It is a dictum absolutely lacking foun dation in history, and incapable of syllo gistic justification. It suited our purpose in 1776, when we were breaking away from the mother country, but it, was only a bit of sublimated demagogism To bring forward this declaration in this year 1900 is as gross an absurdity as ever was practiced, and an insult to the intelligence of the people." These three indicate a distinct drift toward an empire. I write uot from a political but from a religious standpoint, 1 believe uod foretold the rise and ruin of our republic in the thirteenth chapter of .Revelation: "and 1 ; beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake oa o Aratrfn,9(vtt art A ha ararntiuif h oil the power of the first beast (Spiritual Borne) and causetn the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast." Our republic came "up out of the earth," that is, up from the people, It "had two horns," the declaration and the constitution; "like a lamb," that is, they were lamb-like, full of mercy and gentleness. But now the lamb is chang ing and "he will speak as a dragon, that is our republic is to be. changed from the ODDreesed to an ODDressor.' These mutterings about "absurd max ims" in the declaration, and the whole thing as being but a bit of "sublimated demagogism," are the first mutterings of the dragon. We will feel his oppres sive strength later. sTbs Beit Prescription for Chills ud faver n a Hottl of G (' f AlTOJts! Cmu. Tone, it it simply iron and quinioa in a tastrlcu lorm. No cars so pav.

All the senatorial candidates should do their best to put their supporters in line on tbe presidential and congressional tickets, as it is much more important than the election of any one to the sen ate.. Democrats will rote as they please in the aenatorial contest; but all will vote for Bryan and the congressional candi dates. How will it do to vote for the senato rial aspirant who puts in tbe most and strongest licks for those tickets and does tbs )eat for himself? Now, if all the senatorial aspirants do as we euprpct and is eminently proper, insteaa ol injariEg the national ticket and the cand.dates for tbe house, the sen atorial primary will add to the rote for each. 1'or our rart we would not vnte Tor any one cf the asr irants, whoe cLitf nr-;mrterg do not l.ne cp for Erjaa and Klutti.

We cannot believe that any great num ber of Democrats in this congressional district will so far forget the great ability and eminent qualifications of Hon. i . M Simmons as to neglect to vote for him He stand todav aloof from all comneti tors, as the man whom the people of the entire State will delight to honor. He is not only entitled to the everlasting gratl tude of the Democrats of this district, he is our choice for senator because of his ability as a statesman, his love and fide! ity as a representative, his nobility o character and his personal qualities as a man. . He is one of us. , tie knows tbe people of North Carolina from Dane to Beersheba. lie Is a practical man m al the relations of life, ile has had no spare money to spend on luxuries, con sequently his habits are simple and plain, He is accessible to all men and is easily apprehended. With Simmons in the United States senate North Carolina can hold ber own against the united powers of the Republican party, - lie stands low to tbe ground. He is firm in his position when taken, tie cannot be discharged. He will fight the solid phalanx of the enemy single handed if it becomes neces sary. . b. M. Simmons will be our next sena tor. .
