SATS ADMINISTRATION DT POW
ER IS RESPONSIBLE.
"Th Majority Should Rule," He
Reiteratea. Saya the People De
cided in Favor of the Citiaena'
. Ticket, the Issues Beinf Sharply
Drawn. Says He Has Never Sought
Office.
"Mr. Editor:
In the city election the issues were
drawn and submitted to the people
of Concord. Tlie people found in
favor of the things advocated by the
Citizens', ticket. There never wax
an election where the differences as
to what was really advocated by
eaeh faction were more dearly un
derstood. When the mujority was
fixed rertain parties had the good
sense and judgment not to hold out
against the will of the people and
stopHd the business in which they
were engaged. This was commenda
hle, and all right thinking people join
in the action.
The opposition to the Citizens'
movement admilled thai a reforma
tion was necessary. The people that
are in charge of the city hull are re
sponsible for the conditions that ex
ist under any administration, and
the majority are held responsible re
gardless of what t lie minority does.
Take the past four years, if you
please, and no one will say that ('has.
Wagoner or Clarence Harrier are re
sponsible for present conditions.
The real difference now is whether
the people in sympathy with the Citi
zens' movement shall be selected to
bring; about the relief asked. The
people elected by the citizens main
tain that the officers of the city for
the past 10 or 15 years' are responsi
ble for present conditions, and are.
therefore, the ones that have made a
reformation absolutely necessary for
the well being of the people of Con
cord; thai this reformation cannot be
brought about through Hie same
channel that made the reformation
necessary, and that the minority,
who, to a great extent, nw their
election lo certain influences, in
which the old alignment are in ac
cord, cannot be th? proper ones to
say who shall or who shall not be
selected to take up the tight for law
enforcement.
The minority has raised I he old
howl that "we were not consulted
and invited into the caucus." The
citizens were not invited into your
caucus previous to election. Who
ever heard of the Republican major
ity in Congress asking our Senators
of the different faith into their cau
cuses? Has any one heard that the
Democrats, who are now in the ma
jority, invited the minority into their
caucuses f Such is not the rule and
never will be. A caucus is intend"d
for pefiple that are, in effect, stand
ing for certain things upon which
they are united, in order Hint the non
essentials mav be agreed upon, and
in such meetings it would be the
height -of folly to call in any one that
is aligned with the opposition.
I have never sought any ollice and
I wont none now. nor hereafter, but
I have been earnestly requested to
undertake enforcement of the laws
of this city, as an attorney, which I
agreed to accept, provided, the board
would give me men to uphold by
hands, who are, in fact, in -t'avor of
law enforcement. I have no friends
to favor nor enemies to punish; if I
am elected city attorney,1 I have ni
disposition to go back on the old
force and' bring out soiled linen un
less parties that have been violating
the laWs continue to do so.
This is a time that the citizens .,f
Concord cannot saeriftre the ic forms
for which they have struggle.! to
save the present hour.

EKOLAKD fACES A
BLOODY CIVIL 8TRITE
North of Ireland Will Resent the Es
tablishment of Home Role.
London, June 17. That Knzlsnd
today faces bloody civil strife in l"ls
ter can no longer be denied.
The Orangemen are preparing, just
as (iiietly. serious-, and thoroughly
as Oom Paul did. to "stagger hum
anity." If there has been any doubts
to the deadly determination of the
North of Ireland to resist by force
the establishment of Home Rnl
these have Iipcii removed by the re
ports reaching Dublin Castle in the
past few days from its organized and
well-drilled army of approximately
200.000 men lias been formed, the
members of which are pledged to obey
their officers to the limit, and that
great quantities of arms and ammu
nition have been privately cached in
strategic localities throughout the
province. Moreover, it is known that
all the machinery for set tint; up a
provisional government of rifetermen
in Belfast, to begin business the day
Home Rule goes into effect, link been
secretly prepared by Sir Kflward
Carson, the Marquess of ,ondonder
ry, the Duke of Abercorn and other
leaders wlio constitute the Inner Cir
cle of the 1'lster Unionist Council.
The facts arc so patent that Ens-
land has at last awakened to a real
ization that the oft-repeated threat
'l ister will field" is no joke. Un
prejudiced investigators who have
been coins; over the ground recently
are absolutely convinced that the
first attempt -to enforce in Ulster the
authority of a Dublin parliament will
be tUe signal foi open rebellion. On
September 28, last. 218,200 male in
habitants of the northern province
over 17 years of age altixed their
names to what is known as the Ulster
Covenant, in which they pledged
themselves "to use all means that
may he found necessary lo defeat the
present conspiracy to set up Home
Rule in Ireland." and in it tliev de-
clared further that "in the event of
such Parliament being forced upon us
we solemnly and mutually pledge our-
selves to refuse to recognize its an-
Hw.vit.. ' Pr;...n.. ..ii ..? !... :
. 1 - 1 1 Ull 1 I IHTtT lllfll
are now enrolled as iXemhers of the
Unionist clubs, which have been org-1
anized throughout the province andj
which are really ill-disguised recruit
ing and drilling stations for the
'army of the Ulster." The member
hip has been steadily increasing
since the passage of Ihe Home Rule
Bill by the House of Commons last i
January, and new clubs are constant
ly being formed. In the counties of
Antrim. Down. Derrv and Tyrone
there ave clubs in every village and
small rural district. Even in Done
gal, the most Nationalist county of
Ulster, it is reported that 10,000 men
are enrolled.
Hi many of Ihe clubs five nights
week are devoted to drill, and ic
the larger communities "special ser-
ice sections have been organized
of members available for active dutv
at a moment's notice. The drill-cms.
ters are for the most part former sol
diers or sailors of the regular estab
lishments. It is estimated that Ulster
will be prepared to throw into the
field a quarter of a million men.
whose military training will hnc
been more thorough than even iat
of England's territorial army as I
the military force is called. Nor will
the Ulster army lack capable officers.
A number of applications for com
missions have already been received
from retired officers of the British
army.
Ulster s present attitude is that it
will surely fight if Home Rule be
comes an established fact but that
there is still a chance that the pres
ent Parliament will go out of exist
encee before it can place the bill on
Ihe statute books.
Negroes to Guard Against Tubercu
losis.
Columbia. Tenn., June 17. Plans
for popular instruction in the rulesi
which must be followed to decrease
the amount of tuberculosis among the
negroes were discussed here today
at the annual convention of the Ten
nessee Colored Physicians' Associa
tion. The speakers pointed out that
as compare lively"" few negroes are
able to take advantage of climates
that are beneficial to sufferers from
consumption,' all the more reason ex
ists why the colored race should take
even greater precautions against the
disease than the whites. The physi
cians were urged to be a power for1
sanitation in the negro quarters of
their communities.

to be the greatest gathering the world
has yet known in the interests of the
suppression of white slavery and pub
lic vice, will be held under the aus
pices of the World's Purity Federa
tion. Its purposes, besides combat
ing the white slave traffic, will be lo
promote "high and single standards
of morals for both men and women,
the safe and sane instruction of youth
in sex hygiene, and in furthering
such socal, civil, economic and moral
reforms as will conserve the very
highest in character and life." The
slogan of the federation in its right
to achieve its object will be "Fullest
publicity concerning tlie shame of the
cities. ' '
According to plans mapped out to
day by the local committee "a spade
will be called a spade" in all tlie ad
dresses and discussions, and data and
statistics regarding the social evil and
the white slave traffic in every city
of size in the world will be presented
in fullest detail.

what we ale doing.
About one-third ol the people of
North Carolina are suffering with
hookworm disease and consider their
trouble due to some other disease.
Hookworm disease frequently causes
headache, dizziness, shortness of
breath, paleness, easily tired out in
feet and legs, poor appetite for
breakfast. indigestion. heartburn,
stunted growth and poor progress in
school work on account of poor
memory. If you have ever had ground
itch or dew poison von should be ex
amined, as th's is the Hist sign of
the disease. It takes aboul one drop
of blood daily to feed each worm.
Vou can have from less than one
hundred to six thousand hookworms,
which live in your small bowel for
from ten to twelve year's, suck your
blood, inject a poison into your sys
tem and produce an inllamination of
the bowel from their bites. These
worms each deposit from two to six
thousand eggs daily, which pass with
the bowel excretions of Ihe infected
person; and, if sanitary closets are
not used, these eggs hatch out. and in
nine days the' little worms are ready
to enter your body through the mouth
or skin.
Parents who do not use this oppor
tunity to rid their children of this
dreaded disease, are standing square
ly across their offsprings' future n-
demning them oft times to an early
death or a life of misery, which un.y
result in making them a public
charge.
If you are sick or well, come to
Ihe dispensary and learn "how to gel
well" and "how to keep well." The
State anil county pay the bills for
your examination and treatment for
this short lime only.
We ask that you bring on your first
visit a small quantity of your bowel
action, with your name and age writ
ten thereon. Only in this way will
Ihe examination be made.
But few people are cured by taking
less than three treatments. We give
but one treatment at a lime, and Ihe
treatments are taken one week apart.
We have treated over 100.000 cases
of i liis disease in ibis State.
Hookworm disease, typhoid fever
and many other serious and often
.lalal disease- can he prevented by
; toj-er sanitation. I Her;.! r re. expl iiu
