THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
The Republican Senatorial con-
vention which met here Monday
was not largely attended, but
this was perhaps due in some
measure to the fact that the
meeting had not been largely
adtised. The speakers made the
general mistake of abusing their
opponents instead of pointing out
a better way to attend to the af
fairs of government. Surely those
of them who predicted the elec
tion of the ticket named that day
were insincere. No class of peo
ple on earth know better than
the Republicans themselves that
there is not even the ghost of a
chance to elect Messrs. Quinn
and Hampton to the State Senate
from the 33rd district.
The worst mistake perhaps was
made in their resolutions, which
appear elsewhere in full in this
issue of the paper. When that
convention resolved unanimously
A t . A. --V t
mat me .Democratic party is
"without either principle, policy
or platform," it occurs to us they
did not care particularly what
they put on record.
lite speakers themselves had
admitted that wo had a platform,
but did not agree with the prin
ciples therein enunciated. When
it comes to blowing the Republi
cans always get there first.
The Stomach is the Man
A weak stomach weakens the man, be
cause it cannot transform the food he
eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without first re
storing health and strength to the stom
ach. A weak stomach cannot digest
enough food to feed the tissuess and re
vive the tired and run down limbs and
organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure digests what you eat, cleanses and
strengthens the glands and membranes
of the stomach, and cures indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. Sold

PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT.
Judge Parker in his speech to
the Democratic editors on the 8th,
said: 'The Democratic partv is
not a machine ; it is a body of cit-
zens who believe that on the
whole its fundamental principles
are best adapted to the conduct
f the government."
Again: "Extravgaance is run-
nng riot in federal, State and
municipal governments in spite
of the well-directed effort of some
excellent officials. The indebt
edness of the municipal govern
ments are steadily piling up, bond
issues are increasingly frequent,
and the people have not the sat
isfaction, in many instances, of a
full equivalent in improvements
for the money expended.. And
the Federal government is lead
ing the race of great expenditures.
Ere long the people will demand
a retorm in aaminiftration ex-
penses; and they wm uo it now
. i i j
if they are made to appreciate
the whole truth."
And again : "All men who
have attained any degree of
prominence have their friends,
and the exercise of ordinary pru
dence forbids the alienation of
allies who are willing and anx
ious to assist."
KING'S MOUNTAIN PRESBYTERY.
The Fall Session Held at Shelby Last
Week A Report of the Meeting.
Written for The Tribune.
The fall meeting of King's Mountain
Presbytery was held in the chm-ch at
Shelby, N. C, beginning September
Cth, at 8 p. m. The opening sermon
w as preached by the retiring modera
tor, Rev. J. M. Forbis, of King's
Mountain church, from Acts 8: 5-8.
Rev. W. A. Murray was chosen
moderator, and Rev. J. B. Cochran
and R. C Morrison temporary clerks.
It was found on calling the roll that
every minister in the presbytery, save
onewho is laboringbeyondourbounds,
was present, and many of the churches
was represented by a member of the
session.
The clerk, Rev. S. L. Cathey, an
nounced the death of our beloved
brother and fellow laborer, Rev. W.
II. Wilson, of Stanley Creek, N. C,
which occurred on Saturday morning,
September 3rd, 1904. A suitable me
morial service was held on Wednes
day night in the presence of a good
congregation. Borther Wilson was a
man of sterling worth, genial, com
panionable, transparent, pious, thor
oughly consecrated to his Lord and
Master, an excellent preacher, a de
voted pastor, a loving husband, a
true father. His place is vacant. He
is greatly missed.
The routine business of the presby
tery was transacted with dispatch.
Rev. M. McG. Shields was dismissed
to Albemarl Presbytery, where he en
ters upon the work of an evangelist.
We were sorry to have him leave us.
The Gastonia church is left vacant by
his removal.
Dr. T. H. Laws, of Enoree, Presby
tery, S. C, agent for the American
Bible Society, presented the great
cause to the presbytery, showing its
success and also its great usefulness
and urgent needs.
The work of the presbytery was
shown to be in a healthy condition,
much progress being manifest in all
lines of work. .
A popular meeting was held in be
half of the Sabbath, in which Ruling
Elder R. L. Ryburn set forth the stat
ute laws of North Carolina, before the
presbytery and congregation, going
back to the beginning of the American
Sabbath, showing that we need, not so
much new laws, as a righteous and
rigid enforcement of the present laws.
Other speakers proved that the real
trouble lies in the church members
So long as the professed friends of
the Sabbath treat it as they do, the
world, the enemy of the Sabbath, will
not regard her claims. There were
other matters of special interest, but
time and space fail me.
Presbytery will hold her spring meet
ing with the church at Dallas, N. C
in April, 1905. A PRESBYTER.

The State Board of Health is mak
ing a vigorous fight against the most
fatal of all diseases pulmonary con
sumption. It is generally conceded
that it is a preventable disease, and by
many, that it is curable. The board
has prepared and had printed a valua
ble pamphlet treating both cause and
cure of this fatal malady. Those hav
ing the disease or any predisposition
to it, should write Dr. R. H. Lewis,
secretary, Raleigh, N. C, for as many
free copies as they can .use to ad
vantage. Mr. B. Frank Long, eldest sou of
A. B. Long, deceased, who left here in
18C9, is here on a visit. He was here in
1872, but has not been back since that
date until now. His home is in Stock

K. G. X. REVIEWS THE SITUATION.
He Takes a Pessimistic View of the
Political Outlook.
To the Editor of The Tribune:
I hope you will kindly allow the fol
lowing brief thoughts a place in your
valuable paper, which has the reputa
tion of being fair and truthful in ref
erence to all public questions.
Nearly a month and a half has elaps
ed since the Democcatic primary pass
ed over. I have been reading both
the county papers very carefully since
that time, and have met and talked
with many of our representative men
from various parts of the county. So
far as I remember, nothing has ap
peared in either of our county papers
to make any of our defeated candi
dates feel worse for their defeat, ex
cept in one solitary instance, and that
not in your paper.
Defeat itself, I imagine, is hard
enough without any added indignities.
I have heard a number of our defeat
ed candidates express themselves as
satisfied with the results of the pri
mary. They were satisfied because
there was no other alternative. Men
must be satisfied with their lots in life
or be forever complaining and right
thinking men cannot afford to class
themselves or allow others to class
them with grumblers. But with all the
display of resignation possible, when
ever you near a aeieatea canaiaate
say he is content with the result, you
may take his statement with a grain of
salt. Proud men do not submit to re
verses philosophically if forced to do
so cheerfully. Their manhood de
mands that they accept the inevitable
in a spirit of acquiescence; and having
so accepted their misfortunes they
should not be twitted for fheir failures,
nor chided, as some have been for
want of personal popularity. Why
should old wounds be reopened and
new incisions be made in disappointed
minds? It seems to me that it is a
time to heal rather than agravate old
sores; of making amends for former
differences and of placating any
wrongs which may have been commit
ted by the heated contest preceding the
primary. The victorious wing ot tne
party should, so far as it is able, en
deavor to bring the minority to the
willing and cordial support of the en
tire Democratic ticket named in the
primary. If any efforts in this direc
tion have been put forth by the candi
dates themselves or their supporters I
have not been advised of such a move
ment. On the contrary the maioritv
seems insolent and proud, if not in
sulting in some instances to the mi
nority. I heard a very thoughtful man
sav some davs ago that the conditions
as they existed were novel to him; he
had never known of a maioritv being
offensive to a minority element before.
Those who had succeeded were hardly
courteous to those who opposed them.
This is not intended so' much for the
candidates themselves as for some of
their supporters; and there are men
slated to-day for county offices whose
prospects for election would be
greatly enhanced if they could for the
time intervening between now and No
vember 8th, be divorced from some of
their fool friends. The truth had just
as well be told as hinted at. Notwith
standing it has been said in the pa
pers that the Democratic party in this
countv is united and aggressivei and
notwithstanding it has been proclaim
ed from the stump that the Democrat
ic maioritv will be increased in the
November election, such assertions
are not warranted by the facts as they
exist to-day. The writer knows of
numbers of Democrats, some of whom
have been veting the straight ticket
for forty years and more, who are sul
len, silent and determined, and unless
something shall be done prior to the
November election, will not vote the
county ticket in full as it will be print
ed. Some of these will vote squarely
against it, others will not vote the leg
islative and county ticket in any way.
They feel that great wrongs have been
committed for which they are not
chargeable, and they feel it their duty
to protest against them.
In the face of such a situation the vic
tors in the first passage at arms should
be more considerate of the vanquish
ed. The next engagement will be the
final one and the fight will be with a
stronger and better organized force
than the heterogeneous mass whom they
opposed on the 4th of August. I have
tried not to be personal, but those who
live until November 9th, will know
whether or not I have some knowledge
of the general trend of affairs.

gushes from the mountain springs.
Mrs. Ben Biggerstaff, who is a
daughter of Mr. J. P. Burgess, of Hen
rietta, has been visiting her father, Mrs.
J. M. Smith, of this place, and other

nounce that there will be services in the
Methodist church on Sunday morning.

tinue for some days.
THREE JURORS CURED.
Of Coiera Morbus With One Small
Bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Mr. G. W. Fowler of Hightower, Ala.
relates an experience he had while serv
ing on a petit jury in a murder case at
Edwardsville, county seat of Clebourue
county, Alabama. He says: "While
there I ate some fresh meat and some
souse meat and it gave me cholera mor
bus in a very severe form. I was never
more sick in my life and sent to the
drug store for a certain cholera mixture,
but the druggist sent me a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy instead, saying that he
had what I sent for, but that this medi
cine was so much better he would rather
send it to me in the fix I was in. I took
one dose of it and was better in five
minutes. The second dose cured me
entirely. Two fellow jurors were afflict
ed in the same manner and one small
bottle cured the three of us." For sale
