LATE STATE ELECTION. The latest returns from the States holding elections on Tuesday show no material changes from the re sults announced. Except in Mary land, which elects a Democratic Governor and full State ticket by a majority of not far from 12,000, and Nebraska, which the Bryau fusion ticket has carried by a good majority, the record of Republican success in all States hitherto Re publican is unbroken. Ohio elects Nash and the entire Republican State ticket by a majori ty approaching 50,000, and McKin ley has secured the unqualified in dorsement of his- own State for a second term. Iowa elects the Re publican State ticket by a majority of 60,000. South Dakota has gone Republican, and the county elections show Kansas to be in the Republi can column. In the East New Jer sey elects a Republican Legislature by an aggregate majority of more than 20,000, the New York Legis lature is more strongly Republican than last year, Massachusetts rolls up a Republican majority of more than 60,000 and Pennsylvania, as usual, heads the Republican column with a majority for the entire State ticket rising above 100,000. Virginia and Mississippi are De mocratic, as usual, and both sides still claim Kentucky.

New York. Lm 11 m - 1 ! Called to Meet in Raleigh on the Sixth of December. To the Tobaccoj Planters of North Carolina: By authority of North Carolina Tobacco Growers' Association form ed in Raleigh Octoberl9th,1899,I call a convention of the tobocco planters of North Carolina to assemble in Raleigh Docember 6th, 1899. Planters in eyery tobacco growing county are requested to form county associations and send delegates, as they wish, to this convention. In counties where thereis no local organi zation individual growers are urged to attend so that if possible all the tobacco growing sections of the State will be represented. Planters from Virginia and South Carolina are asked to join us. Representatives of the tobacco journals, manufactures and ware housemen of the State are invited to be present and furnish sueh data and information as they may have, which will aid us in ascertaining the true cause of the present de pression in the prices of leaf to bocco. The continually diminshing prices have been keenly felt by every plan er, and it is hoped that in this con vention some practical plan may be evolved by which producers with judicious, conservative and persistent concert of action may better their condition, If the prevailing low prices are due to oyer production we should face the situation and endeavor to remedy it. If it is found that the price fixed by arbitrary methods we should vigorously protest and de termine to make that protest effect ual. Every intelligent farmer should recognize the advantages to be se cured by intelligent organization and determined co-operation. J. BRYAN GRIMES. President N. C.Tobacco Association. Grimesland, N, C, Noy. Gth, 1899. General Julian S. Carr for Senator. Editor Durham Recorder. Upon the principal, "that it is never too late to do good, and also to atone for an omission of duty, I now wish ta express my appreciation of your action in placing at the head of your leading column, the name of the above gentleman, as your choice for senatorial honors, and to succeed the present incumbent, Hon. Mar ion Butler. I believe that (if merit prevails) he ought to be the man to be the nominee for that position, and for the following reasons, viz.: 1st. He is synonim of all that stands foremost for the materiel interest of his state and country. 2d. He has demonstrated, by his acts, his capacity for services that require both administrative and executive gifts, especially in the interest of the state, and also in welfare and pros perity of our country. General Carr evidently is the man to meet the demands of the hour. His well known character for both administrative and executive gifts, fit him for a position where he can and will exercise them for his country's good. It is true, that we have other men, who have already evinced decided ability, and rendered valuable ser yice to the state and country at large, but they have had their re ward, and now should be willing to let a new man come in who has the confidence of his party, and about whom there can be no doubt. New questions have come up and are to be tested, among them being the constitutional - question of the amendment, and also imperialism. And, now Mr. Editor, aliow me to say, that in the coming election involving these questions, they will require the exercise of sound judg ment and earnest zeal, to secure a result that will bring peace and prosperity to our land and we be lieve that he is the man to meet the coming demands. These are the views entertained by a majority of voters, and we hope they will be respected by the party he has so faithfully seryed, when it comes to the test. A Life Long Democrat. Don't Be Discouraged. We notice a disposition on the part ot some of our Country ex changes to complain of the lack of enterprise evinced by their towns; and a consequent disregard for the efforts these newspapers are making in trying to build up their homes. Don't be discouraged. Even if your people do not appreciate the work vou are doing for them you have the consolation of knowing that your efforts are appreciated on the outside and you haye created the impression that these same towns are very much alive, even if some of your people are very dead to their own and the town's interest. Keep up that impression and it will be only a question of time when your "Old Rips" will bestir themselyes to accepting your advice and imitating Durham. Durham Sun. This week Richmond. Va., de votes itself to honoring the memories of President Jefferson Davis states man, orator, soldier, patriot and his lovely daughter Miss Winnie, of blessed memory, the "Daughter of the Confederacy." A life-size sta tue of the illustrious southron has been erected and a tablet to the gracious and sweet daughter of all her people. Young Jefferson Davis is also honored in the record of the monument. Mrs. Davis, (may God bless her and her descendants !) Mrs. Hays, her daughter, Miss Wal ler, and Jefferson Hays Davis, were present. The ceremonies were ap proprate every way. The statue and tablet were unyeiled byJ. H. Davis. Wilmington Messenger Nov. 1 10th GETTING PAID back now. In commenting on the meeting of the tobacco growers at which the tobacco trust was roundly abused, the Charlotte Observer calls atten tion to the fact that when Cy Wat son attempted to have a bill passed in the legislature of 1893, which was aimed as a blow at the trust, the warehousemen and growers pre vented the passage of the act. From the best of our recollection, the Ob server reports the proceedings cor rectly. We remember that at the time the warehousemen and tobacco dealers of this city flocked to Ral eigh in droves, and implored the legislature to sit down upon Mr. Watson and his measure, and we al so remember that Mr. Watson came in for a goodly share of abuse from some of those who are now selfcon stituted leaders in the fight against trusts in general and the tobacco trust in particular. A general mis take is made in underestimating the influence exerted by the tobacco trust in this state, not only in poli tics, but other matters, and if an at tempt is eyer made to enact legisla tion in our state that will seriously effect trust it will be found that they are Dreoared to Dut ud a better fisrht than would be expected of them. Durham Herald. EXPOSING ITSELF. With withering scorn, cutting satire, unadulterated irony and sar casm, and pure truth the Asheville Citizen has this to say of the Ashe ville Gazette, the paper that has sold itself to Pritchard & Co., to fight the constitutional amendment: The Citizen is asked why it does not expose The Gazette's falsehood in claiming to be a Democratic paper. But why should The Citi zen work at that job when The Gazette is performing it in a per fectly satisfactory manner? Is there any one in North Carolina who can read or understand a thing read who believes that The Gazette is a Demo cratic piper? If there is, The Citi zen would like to publish his photo graph, for he is the greatest living curiosity. A man thoroughly drunk does not need an attendant or placard to explain his condition to the public. We know of no section of North Carolina in which it is necessary to put a label on a jackass. Nowhere in the south is it necessary to attach a name and description to a buzzard. Among intelligent people, and those of North Carolina are pretty intelli gent, it is considered a waste of time to sound a gong to call attention to a liar. As for shaving an ass, it's a waste of lather. The Citizen is aware that The Gazette is traveling under false pre tenses, but who is fooled by it? Its assertion that it is a Democratic paper shows only that it is ashamed of being what it is, and we are glad it has that germ of conscience left, unless its assumption of the title "Democratic" is merely to get a little money. But as for exposing The Gazette, it is exposing itself. Why should The Citizen interfere. The Gazette's exposure of its own rottenness is complete. The Citi zen couldn't expose it better if it tried. Besides, the friends of bad government need an organ. Let them rejoice in The Gazette, for they will never get a more efficient organ of rottenness than The Gaz ette. MUD TAX GREATER THAN ALL OTHERS. Haywood county in the west is about to unite upon good road build ing so as to overcome all losses from bad roads. It has recently provid ed itself with $5,000 worth of road machinery. This is both commend able and highly exemplary. Mr. George Boggs, a citizen, writes to the agricultural department of North Carolina? "For several weeks during last winter the roads of this county were virtually impassable. Traffic, social intercourse and attendance on reli gious services were suspended. Du ring many more weeks they could bp carried on only under many dis comforts and at considerable loss from injury to stock and vehicles. "Many are opposed to any tax for road improvements and yet they are paying a mud tax that exceeds all their national, state, and county taxes combined, unjust and heavy as some of them are." There are many things the peo ple are prodigiously slow to learn. Among them the cost of bad road?, of crime, of low down political office-seekers and demagogues, and stolid ignorance and all it entails. A new association of Missionary Baptist churches was organized Fri day at LaGrange. It is composed of the western portion of the old Atlantic Association. The new as sociation will be known as the Neuse Association. Dr. R. H. Lewis, of Kinston, was elected moderator, and Prof. Debnam, of LaGrange, clerk. There are twenty-two churches in the association. The Orphan Friend says, as Thanksgiving Day approaches, kind reader, consider the question prayer fullv:" How can I best show my gratitude to my Heavenly Father for His many mercies and blessings dur ing the past year?" Could you make an offering to any cause which would be more acceptable to God than a contribution to aid work of child rescue and salvation in our orphans' homes? Will you not make an effort to get us up a box of provisions or clothing or send us a contribution in money? We can use barrels of flour, meal, meat, molasses, rice sugar, grits, oat meal, clothing and almost anythingelse you, in the kindness of your heart, may send. TO ECONOMICAL. A Remarkable Lht of Casualties Caused by a Niggardly Attempt to Get Something for Nothing Speaking of close fisted men the Osborn "Farmer" asks: Did you ever hear tell of the man who was to eco nomical to take his home paper, but sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by a neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a $2 stand of bees, and in ten seconds looked like a summer squash. His cries reach ed his father who ran to his rescue aud failing to notice a barb wire fence ran into that, breaking down, cutting a handful ot fish bait out of his anatomy and ruining a $4 pair of pants. The old cow took advant age of a gap in the fence got out, ate 40 cents' worth of alfalfa and died of bloat. Hearing the racket the wife ran out upset a four-gallon churn full of cream into a basket of kittens and drowned the whole mess. In her hurry she dropped and broke a $7 set of false teeth The babv left alone, crawled through the flood of cream into the uarlor. rninint? a bran new carpet. During the ex citement the oldest daughter ran j away with a book agent, the dog broKe up eleven setting hens and the calves got out and chewed the sleeves from four fine shirts which hung on the line. DISSIPATION. Most people associate the idea of dissipation with indulgence in dis reputable amusements and pursuits, but dissipation really means excess of any kind. It is not confined to pleasuring. The life forces, says the Medical Brief, maybe prematurely exhausted by undue care-taking. The business man who works steadily, day in and day out, for years, with relentless application, carrying the burden of business anxiety home with him, taking it to bed with him, bringing it to the breakfast table, unfolding it to the ears of sympathetic friends and relatives, such a man is indulg ing in dissipation quite as much as though he were a man about town, or a member of a sporting fraternity. He is wronging nature, and, by-and-bye, she will bring suit for damages, and he will haye to pay costs if they bankrupt him. The woman who makes herself a slave to family cares and duties, on the farm or in the town, regardless of her natural rights as a human being and a social entity, is also indulging in dissipation. She is spending recklessly the vitality which, turned into normal channels, should make her and exhaustless fount of pure happiness and helpful ness to all those who come within the sphere of her influence. Then there is the woman of fash ion. She works harder and longer than any artisan, attending all the various social functions, keeping up with an infinite variety of fads and caprices, which are the insignia of social leaders, until finally some day her nervous system gives out com pletely, and she become a wreck, mentally and physicially, haunting the offices of specialists, frequenting sanitariums and health resorts, try ing to regain the health thoughtless ly frittered away in sccial dissipa tion. The students, boys and girls, and professionals of all kinds, dissipate, too. The mind, wearied by a long day in the schoolroom, or workroom, is forced to busy itself over abstruse problems during the feverish evening hours, until, quivering with strain and fatigue, it seeks rest in troubled, unrefreshing sleep. These young men and women stunt the natural growth of the brain by keeping the immature cells constantly exhausted, and dissipate their forces before they are ready to bring them to bear on the real struggle of life. 4& Every JV?VV lie grand ,1 iHt NEWS OF VICTORY. When an excited messen ger comes dashing in with glorious news of victory frorr a great field of battle nobody wonders at his It is contagious, man who hears t tidings is ready to swing his hat and cheer and pass along the splendid story to his nearest neighbor. When a man has been through a terri ble battle with sickness and at last has gained a glorious victory his first impulse is to tell the good flews to others. He wants every man and woman of his acquaintance to know about the splendid remedy that brought him back from sickness and discouragement to sound and perfect health. "I had rheumatism for three months," says Mr. James E. Crampton, of Sharpsburg, Wash ington Co., Md., in a recent letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. " I couldn't walk at all. I was in business in Baltimore. I tried the best doctors I could get but they did me no good. I took three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and it cured me sound. " I came home to Sharpsburg and there were three cases of different diseases. I advised the Satients to use Dr. Pierce's medicine, which they id, and all were cured. I have sold one hun dred dollars' worth of your medicine by telling people how it cured me. " You will find enclosed 31 one-cent stamps for one of your ' Medical Advisers,' cloth-bound." This grand "Discovery" is the most perfect formula ever devised for the complete and thorough renovation of the blood from all unhealthy germs and lurking taints of every name and nature. By making pure and healthy blood free from bilious poisons it builds up strong and active manhood and blooming at tractive womanhood. If out of health, write to Dr. Pierce.
