JUDGE ALTON B. PARKER. On Wednesday of last week, Judge AltDn B. Parker, of New York, was formerly notified of his nomination by the St. Louis convention as the candidate of the Democratic party for presi dent of the United States, Hon. Champ Clark, of Missouri, chair man of the committee, delivering the notification speech. Judge Parker in accepting the nomination spoke more than thir ty minutes, giving his views on the tariff, the trusts, the Phili pine question," executive usurpa tion, the recent outrages in Col orado, the United States as a world power, the the true status of patriotism, and some others, and closing by giving his reasons for not accepting a renomination if elected to the presidency this fall. This address contains the first public political utterances of Judge Parker for many years, and has received the favorable endorsement of almost the entire Democratic press of the country, There can be no further ques tion of the wisdom of the St. Louis convention in naming Judge Parker as the standard bearer of a united Democracy. In him all tho elements of the party has found a man on whom all its dis cordant elements can unite. With. a man of his high and exalted character, with ats positive, though conservative views, with his great learning and knowledge of national affairs, the Democra cy of this country must achieve a glorious victory in November. Naturally of a judicial tern i peramenr, JUUge rarKer lorms a very wide contrast between him- , . , . . T. . , " "ff ACD"CM Theodore ItoOiJevelt, whose eratic AMBITION. "Hail to the chief, to the man who has succeeded ! " This is the verdict of the world ; Christ said, world." "He that humbleth him self shall be exalted, but he that exaltheth himself shall be abas ed." The most empty, the most deceptive, and the most delusive of all things is wordly ambition ; it is the song of the siren that lures to disappointment ; it is the will-o'the-wisp that, entices to impenetrable bogs and fens ; the mirrage that points to famishing deserts; the enchanting serpent that charms to destroy ; and the satamc magesty himself that would lead his victim to the crest of the highest mountain, show him the kingdoms of the world, and promises to give him all, if only he will fall down and wor diip him. These temptations are irreristible and man, the willing slave, goes onward chasing the evanescent rainbow until bv sheer exhaustion he falls into darkness and out of sight and leaves the world to others no wiser than himself. To mortal ken there is nothing more pathetic than the wreck of disappointed ambition; its vic tims are merely memories of what might have been, or vague sera- blances of what natur's God in- tended that thev should be. Brok en upon rocKs, lost amia moun tain fasnesses, cast upon barren reefs, left upon burning sands, or stopped by frozen zones, the victim dies leaving millions fol lowing in his wake no wiser than he. Of Babylon, "the glory of king doms, the beauty of Chaldees' ex cellency" Isaiah said' "It shal never be inhabited, neither shal it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pich his tent there: neither shall the shepherd make his fold there. But wild beasts of the desert shall be there ; and their homes shall be full of deso late creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. And wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their des- solate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces; and her time is near to come, and her days shall not. be prolonged.'' There is nothing true but God; nothing sure but eternity. Will the people never be wise? The ruins of Thebes, of Palmyra and others speak in silent whispers of the uselessness of human endeav or; their lounders and builders are no more. Suicide Prevented. The startling announcement that a preventive of suicide had been discov ered will interest many. A run down system or despondency invariably pre cede suicide and something has been toxmd that will prevent that condition which makes suicide likely. At the first thought of self destruction take Electric Bitters. It being a great tonic and nervine will strangthen the nerves and build up the system. It's also a great stomach, liver and kidney regu laior. uniy wo. oansiaction guaran teed by T. B. Twitty, Thompson & Watkins, druggists. Mashed to Death Revival Meeting. BOB, N. C, August 15th, 1904. Mr., Editor: The sick is somewhat improving. We have a revival meeting going on at Cane Creek with only three profes sions and no additions yet, through the prospects are good. Our church has settled old grudges and have all gone to praying. Wm. Searcey, of Polk county, was hauling logs to the saw mill Friday evening and got caught between the bend-over pole and the corner post of his son, Griff Searcey's, house and was so mashed, that he died Saturday morning. If this misses the waste basket, I wil write again. A SUBSCRIBER. DeWittisthe Name. When you go to buy Witch Hazel Salve look for the name DeWitt on every box. The pure, unadulterated Witch Hazel is used in making De Witt's Witch Haze Salve, which is the best salve in the world for cuts, burns, bruises, boils, ec zema and piles. The popularity of De Witt'B Witch Hazel Salve, due to its many cures, nas caused numerous, worth less counterfeits to be placed on the mar- ket. The genuine bears the name E. C.

Not Even a Suspicion of Failure Appar ent During the Entire Program The Verdict Was That the Entertainment Was the Best Ever Witnessed There. Last Sunday was Childrens' Day at Mountain Creek, when the following program was successfully carried out Scripture reading R. P. Geer. Invocation A. F. Morgan. Song by children "Welcome." Addresses of welcome Master Frank Geer and Miss Cleo Geer. Responses, "I'm glad I'm with you" Miss Gladvs Merrill.

Pending these ex ercises, Miss Maud Wilkins rendered an instrumental solo, and the choir sang, "Dropping the pennies." The collection amounted to $4.71 and will go to the. State Sunday School board. After remarks by A. F. Morgan an adjournment ot one hour was taken for dinner. AFTERNOON SESSION. On reassembling in the house, R. P. Geer offered the following which was unanimously adopted. "Resolved by the Mountain Creek Baptist Sunday School, that our thanks are due and are hereby tender ed to Misses Clara E. Wilkins and Maggie Elliott for their personal sac rifices in training our children to the extent of making the exercises just witnessed possible." Speeches, interspersed with music, were made in the order named: A. F. Morgan, H. E. Flack, R. P. Geer and A. L. Rucker, and the benediction pro nounced by R. P. Geer. It is due the children to say that each did his part well. Not a jar or even a suspicion of failure was appar- eut during the entire exercises. The selections differed widely from the or dinary on similar occasions, and the general verdict was that the entertain ment was the best of its kind ever wit nessed. A large audience greeted the speakers and gave close attention throughout the entire program. The afternnon speeches by Messrs. Morgan, Flack and Geer were all- in good taste, and much enjoyed. The dinner was abundant and of a variety to tempt the epicure. The organist for the day, Miss Nan nie Sue Rucker, was assisted by Misses Bessie Lovelace and Maud Wilkins and Mrs. John Taylor. Superintendent H. Portrum was . un avoidably absent, but assistant, R. P. Geer, acceptably filled his place. The day was alike an inspiration to both the school and the people. If we only knew our possibilities, perhaps, our efforts, already largely rewarded, would be greatly increased The hope of the world is in its chil dren. Nothing on the Market Egual to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. This fact is well known to druggists everywhere, and nine out of ten will give their customers this preparation when the best, is asked for. Mr. Obe Witmer, a prominent druggist of Jop- lin, Mo., in a circular. to his customers, says : "There is nothing on the market in the way of patent medicines which equals Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel com plaints. We sell and recommend this MR. MORROW TO HIS FRIENDS. He Rises to a Point of Personal Privi legeAnother False Accusation. To the Editor of The Tribune: Now that the battle is over and the smoke is settling down, I desire to rise to a point of personal privelege. Dur ing the heat of the campaign there was certain charges made against me, and now that the primary is past and those making the charges have carried their points, I want to say that every charge made against me was as false and black as hades, and those who promulgated them must have known that every word of the charges was false. l am surprised at so many of my friends going back on me without first investigating and knowing for them selves the truth or falsity of each. By asking C. C. Reid, K. J. Carpenter, J R. Washburn, A. L. Grayson, J. C Cowan, O. T. Waldrop and others, all of this town, and whose words no one would dare doubt, and yet the charges were made by parties who have no scruples as to what they do, or say and yet many people and good ones will be lead by the promulgators of the falsities. I am going to ask every good man in the county to investigate and find out the truth or falsity of the charges made against me, for it is possible that I shall be a candidate again, and if not, it is justice to me and my family that right be done me I have never wronged anyone, as the multitude of my customers will attest 1 have loaned money, and l guess cheaper than anybody else, or the bor rower would have gone some where else. I have bought a few county claims and paid more for them than anyone else, or the seller would have sold to some other. I have alwaysgiven in my taxes, .and to their full value too, and have done business for and with all kinds of men and never heard of any trouble or unfair dealing til a pettifoger of a politician found that I was all kinds of a fellow. I know that a reflecting public will see that I am set right before another campaign. The time is come now for us to get together and make ready for the November campaign. Mine accus- or said that I would bolt if I did not get the nomination. This is another falsehood, as will be seen when the time comes. It was said that I had never helped in the campaign. I al ways responded when asked to do so, but have never been one to run in try ing to make a reputation as a politi cian. If 1 am asked by the proper au thorities this year I shall be glad to make some speeches. Now I will close by saying to the public that you will find me at my office in the rear of the Bank of Rutherfordton, and having all the practice and other buisness I can do, shall be delighted to have you call when in town, and if J can serve you, it will afford me much pleasure. Mr. Editor I beg your pardon for tak ing up so much of your time and space, but I felt that an honest reading public was entitled to what I have said and I know that I am entitled to the expla nation. Very respectfully, D. F. MORROW. r. o. i understand mat i was im plicated or accused of having some thing to do with scattering certain cir culars concerning Capt. Bell, and that because of this accusation, I lost many votes. To this I want to say, that the man who savs or accuses me of. this must know that I would not stoop to so low and mean a thing. I am not that kind of a man. If I have anything to say I always made it a point to say it to the fellow's face. So I want to denounce that report as false and ma licious. D. F. M. UNION MILLS MATTERS. Round Hill Academy to Open on the 24th When Will Dog Days End? Correspondence of Thk Tribune. Union Mills, Aug. 12. We are be ginning to believe the old saying, that if it rains the first two days in 'dog days' it will rain every day until close of same," for we've had rain for ev ery day for some time, and some are beginning to enquire, "when will 'dog days' close?-' Miss Kate Egerton, one of Union Mills' popular young ladies, left last week for North Cove, where she will teach for some months.

Hampton & McFarland report threshing 4,000 bushels of wheat, rye and oat9 in seventeen days, or 235 bush els a day, which is a- splendid showing considering the weather and the size of the crops. Fever is getting to be common in many places. Too many melons are be ing consumed for the general health of the prople. Melons are generally infe rior in quality, and many of them are not healthy. Rev. C. B. Justice, the pastor, will preach at the Baptist church here next Sunday at 11 a. in., and at 8 p. in. If it should meet with the approval of the brethren the meeting will be continued for some days. Messrs. W. L." Smith and Walter Fanning tired, worn and weary with travel, rain and mud stopped on their return Friday night after a ten days jaunt to the mountains. Saturday they left for their homes at Henrietta.

Fisher, Jr., of Chicago, arrived Thursday, and after spending only two days visiting Mr. Fisher's parents, left Saturday for their home taking their sprightly boy, Mas ter Vones Fisher, back with them.

Keeter, here this week We are glad to note that he has entirely recovered from his recent illness and seems to have lost nothing by it except his right eye.

Mr. Hicks Davis, a native of this county, but for some years a resident of Atlanta, Ga., after a short visit, return ed to his home yesterday. Mrs. Davis and children, who are also here, will re main for some weeks.

Too much care cannot be excercised with small children dining the hot weather of the summer months to guard against bowel troubles. As a rule it is omy necessary to give tne cniia a dose of castor oil to correct any disorder of the bowels. Do not use any substi tute. bat give the old'fashioned castor oil.Jand see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has a tendency to gripe it tnis does not cnecK tne bowels give Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy and then a dose of castor oil, and the disease may be checked in its incipiency and all danger avoided The castor oil and this remedy should be procured at once and kept ready for instant use as soon as any indication of any bowel trouble appears. This is the most successful treatment known and may be relied upon with implicit confi dence even in cases of cholera infantum. Free Trip to World's Fair O. T.
