Industrial Development and the Amendment While we have cities, towns and counties, these are but for conyenience and the Legislature can establish, alter and abolish them at its pleasure. .The State is the entity. It embraces the whole and governs the whole. Tne pecple are all North Caro linians. The members of the Legislature, while chosen by the people in their several localities, are representatives of North Carolina. Thev act for the whole State, and make laws for all the people. The Governor is the Chief Magistrate of all the people. The Judges ride the circuit of every county and ad minister justice everywhere alike. The State is thus one cor porate body, with one heart vitalizing the whole, with one sys tem of arteries carrying life blood throughout the entire body, with ail parts intimately connected and dependent upon each other. Whatever is to the advantage of one part is of a benefit to the whole, and whatever is detrimental and hurtful to the people of one section is injurious to the people of the entire State. We are not merely united; but we are one' and the same. We are all North Carolinians. The fast that large masses of ignorant negroes have had the right of suffrage in North Carolina has exerted a baneful in fluence on the progress and prosperity of the State. It has al ways made it doubtful what the complexion of the next Legis lature would be. It has always made it doubtful what the the policy of any new administration would be. Any settled policy of State development was always liable to be thwarted and overthrown by some combination in which these numerious negroes would furnish the strength at the polls to make the combination successful. And when such combinations haye been made, the negro has generally been on top Hia influence has been potent. His supposed interests hayejbeen giving preced ence. White men have had to get out of his way. Our contests for the government and control of public af fairs have always been between the great bulk of the white men on one side, and the great mass of ignorant negroes cn the other side, aided by a small contingent of white men. Leaving out of consideration the large Eastern counties where the negro has the dominant majority, there are mny counties in the cen tral belt ot the State where the negro element, together with a few whites, often are successful at the polls and take the admin istration of public affairs away from the white race. Such a triumph of the blacks over the whites is always attended with changed conditions unfavorable to the welfare of the people. As for the communities where tht. negro is always dominant, there condition is always bad. Sometimes it may be worse than at other times, but at all times it is unfavorable for general pros perity. And so it is that the power which the ignoraut negro has exerted at the polls has distinctly been a drawback to State development and has retarded the general welfare. It has been a disadvantage, not merely to the communities where these masses of ignorance exist but to the citizens of the whole State and every part thereof. And if we consider the social conditions that are always found where great crowds of ignorant negroes congregate, where they are animated by prejudice against the whites, and where because of numbers, insolence and intolerance are engendered and fostered until race animosity becomes acute and intense, we easily see how detrimental such a situation is to progress in in dustrial devolopment. Take the case of Wilmington ag an illustration. Wilmington has many advantages as a seat of manufactures, but for years her industries stood still, while Charlotte, Durham, Raleigh, Winston and other towns rushed rapidly forward. And New Bern also! crushed as that fine city is under the influence of a terrible negro majority. At last the conditions at Wilmington became so insupport able that the white people raised the standard of white suprem acy, proclaimed that toey would rule in their town and would have no more negro insolente. The change has been most bene ficial. In two years the industries of Wilmington have largely increased, the business of the place has greatly improved, new mills and new enterprises have sprung into existence, and the whole scene presents a hopeful contrast with the deplorable situ ation that formerly existed there. As North Carolinians, we are all, from one end of the State to the other, interested in such details. We have a responsibility and duty on us to deal with this subject that can be dealt with by us and by us alone. It belongs to'the State to direct these things We all called on to say how shall they be. As we determine, so it will be. It is our voice, our vote that controls and governs in; this State matter.

S3 A WIDOW'S DESCRIPTION OF .LOVE. "Love? Why, love- love is " The widow hesitated a moment. ''Well, if one is falling in love for the first time, a premonitory uneasi ness, in most cases, is experience such as one has never felt before; at the same time the mind begins to dwell constantly upon one person, and the haunting vision cannot be bpnished. "Very soon the judgment becomes preverted, the brain of the victim loses all sense of perspective and proportion, and he views the beioved being through defective intellectual lenses, which not only magnify the merit of the loved one, but surround even her very faults with a roseate aureole that cor verts them from faults to virtues. When one is in love, defects character act like prisms on the rays of affection and resohe them inte rainbow of beautiful tints. "At this stage jealousy makes its appearance, if it has not already done so. Without the slightest cause the lover often become jealous of every man who receives a smile or pleasant look. In his heart he vici ously terms the most innocent and worthy people fools and villains. He treasures worthless trifles like soiled gloves and faded flowers as if they were of priceless value. Some times, if he is at all weakminded, he writes verses on these small keep sakes. There is a last stage. When this is reached the victim wonders how he ever endured to exist before he met the object of his devotion As for the future, he feels sure that all the pleasures that fame and riches can bestow will have but the taste of Dead sea fruit, of dust ana ashes, unless he marries his heart's choice." As he ended the widow's voice be came very low and soft, her eyes fell, and I wonder is she were thinking of me or oue of her thre dead hus bands. Democratic Precinct Committees.

RHEUMATISM and CATARRH CURED BY - Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. Ill THE SHADOW OF DEATH. A. Whole Family Cured. Mrs. C. H. Kingsbury, who keeps a millinery and fancy goods store at St. Louis, Gratiot Co., Mich., and who is well known throughout the country, says: ' I was badly troubled with rheuma tism, catarrh and neuralgia. I had liver complaint and was very bilious. I was in a bad condition; every day I be gan to fear that I should never be a well woman; that I should have to settle down into a chronic invalid, and live in the shadow of death. I had JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA rec ommended to me I TOOK FOUR BOTTLES AND IT CURED ME, and cured my family both. I am very glad that I heard of it. I would cheerfully recommend it to every one. I have taken many other kinds of medicine. I prefer JOHNSTON'S to all of them." MICHIGAN DRUG CO., Detroit, Mich. J. D. MOftRIS, Roxboro.

The house has been swept and dusted every day in the year, but the housewife knows that in spite of vigilance dust accumu lates in cracks and corners, and is only to be removed by special effort. It's the same way with the body. You look after it every day. You take all the ordinary precautions of cleanliness and health. Yet the body needs its special cleaning to rid it of the accumu lations, of waste and poisonous matter which invite disease. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, taken regu larly once or twice a year, would save many a sickness. It purifies the blood, strengthens the stomach, and cleanses the body of poisonous accumulations. Iyast spring I had a severe attack of pneu monia, which left me with a bad cough, and also left my lungs in a very bad condition," writes John M. Russell, Esq., of Brent, Cherokee Nat., Ind. Ter. I had no appetite and was so weak I could scarcely walk. My breast -was all sore with running sores. I got two bottles Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which I believe saved my life. I cannot express my gratitude to you. I am able now to do very good work." Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser, in paper covers, sent free on receipt of 21 one cent stamps to pay cost of mailing only.
