The Democrat. - Editor. E. E. HILLIARD, - - Published Every Thursday. Entered at the Post-Office at Scotland Xeck, X. C, as SWond Class Matter. THURSDAY. APRIL 1I,189j. A CALM REVIEW. XO THAXKS TO PAPERS. IV. If every one had felt like the rank and file of the Populate felt immediate ly after the election in 1892, there would perhaps have been little more enthuia.m worked up for the new par tv. For they were in a hopeless minor ity and there wai nothing in the out look for those who did most of the vot ing but defeat as often as they should attempt to elect nominees as they did in that election. But those who pet out some years be fore to entrap the good farmers of the State into a finare that would work out great advantageH to the few who were thiw plotting, were not willing to Sri thnv kert utj their senseless tirades of abuse of any and ev erything that did not clamor with them for "reform," as they said, until the wave of enthusiasm began to grow again. Now, most of the farmers of the State who had thus far espoused the cause ot the new party had gone from the Democratic party. Thii weakened that party considerably. Place-hunters and oflice-seekers etill kept up their howl for reform, with an occa sional addition to their numbers from disappointed or soured Democrats. Many of the evils which these ca lamity howlers portrayed were real ones, but such as no political creed nor power of party on earth could remedy They were purely and simply logical eflects which foil wed certain cauees Many of the evils also complained of were simply imaginary and did not ex ist at all. For instance, one year ago, many laboring men m North Carolina, who labored for monthly wages, were amongst those who were loudest in their clamor? for "a new deal," because they said they could not live on the wages they were receiving, because forexot, cotton nau celling IOW, and perhaps they had never sold a bale in their lives. The truth is, the man who was receiving monthly 'Wages was in better condition than he had ever been, because he was receiving almost as much as he did 10 years before and could purchase twice as much with a dollar as he could 10 years before. But the larger the number dissatisfied the better it promised to wont for the shysters and tricksters ; so they howled on and encouraged everybody else to howl. The Democratic party, it will be re membered, had been in power in North Carolina for many year ; and although there was a great howl all over the State, not a single man could lodge an intelligent objection against our State government. The Republican party was glad enough to see so much un rest throughout the State, for they began to hope in the adage that "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good." So it began to appear that inas much as the new party could not pos sibly gain anything like enough strength to carry an election, the Republican party might make a prop osition, eitlier directly or indirectly to join forces and thus beat the Democrats. Such suggestions were made to the less wary Populists, but they resented such an intimation. They remembered too well the lessons they learned under Re publican rule just after the war to en tertain any thought of affiliating with that party. And toey were honest in their protests and declarations. It was not long, however, before many of those who had unsuspectingly committed themselves to the demands of the new political creed found that they were being led into the ranks of the Republican party. (Many say yet that it is not so, but we shall see later). C . r i i. men oi oacK-bone stood out against such a combination and re turned to the Democratic party, but mmy indeed most of those who had gone, were under too great a momen tum to stop. And here we leave them, Republi cans, and Populists proposing union. The Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Church South, at the close of its session in Washington last week voted down a resolution of thanks to the newspapers for faithfully reporting the proceedings of the session. Because some paiers by mere accident nad giv en some inaccurate reports the body voted 74 to 51 against the resolution of thanks. Rev. Dr. R. Sraithson, presiding el der of the Washington district, "could see no good in the objects ot the press in reporting the conference." The Democrat surmises that if the newspapers had entirely ignored the conference they would have been the maddest set of preachers that ever sat in conlerence. Wonder if all the speakers and preach ers were as fully reported as they wish ed? Sunday School Association. -. l' POPULAR FUND. The Southport Leader has opened up subscription books for a Popular Fund with which to purchase a suitable pres ent for the United States Cruiser Ra leigh. It calls upon every citizen ot the State to contribute in consideration of the compliment the Government bes towed upon North Carolina in naming one of its war-ships for our capital cit It is a patriotic spirit and meets with the hearty endorsement of Governor Carr and other prominent men in the State. The Leader asks that some good woman in every town of 300 peo ple in ihe State become sponsor for the fund in her locality.

Is it a fact that here are advantages for investors and those seeking to find pleasant homes? "Yes," says everyone. Well, then, how shall we let it be known? How shall we succeed in turning to our community the attention of those who are looking for new homes in new places? Can anything be done? What can the Business Men's Asso ciation do? liet it be a matter of concern to ev ery man for one week and then let's make some new effort. What say you ? IJ io i. N. '..

In the case carried before the Su preme court last week concerning the new assignment law, the opinion was given that the new law applied only to pre-existing debts. Judge Montgom ery delivered the opinion, Furches and Clark assented but Avery dissented say ing that the case was not properly be fore the courts. Things are a little easier now, but it was a big mistake to pass such a law, all the same. Interesting Weldon Notes, (Correspondence to ThkDemocrat.) Weldon, N. C, April 9, 1895. Gov. McKinley passed through here recently in a private car, North bound over the A. C. Line. A few of our citizens met in Em ry's hall a few evenings ago for the pur pose of taking steps towards building a bridge across Roanoke river. A com mittee consisting of five of our best business men was appointed to confer with the citizens to ascertain how much money can be raised to defray the ex pense of an engineer to make a survey and to give some idea as to how much a bridge would cost. If this bridge is not built by private subscripton, I believe the next plan is to have the town issue bonds. We need the bridge badly. A little four year old colored child was burned to death here a few nights ago. It seems that a larger child was filling a lamp when this little child struck a match to the oil which burn ed her so badly that she died within a few- hours. Mrs. E. W. Brown, sister to Mrs. J. T. Evans and W. B. Tillery, who has lived with us so long and who has so many friends here, will in the future re side in Petersburg. Mr. Brown is in the service of the railroad company. W. B. W. Those who never read the advertise ments in their newspapers miss more than they presume Jonathan Kem son, of Bolan, Worth Co., Iowa, who had been troubled with rheumatism in his back, arms and shoulders read an item in his paper about how a promi nent German citizen of Ft. Madison had been cured. He procured the same medicine and to use his own words : "It cured me right up." He also says : "A neighbor and his wife were both sick iu led with rheumatism.

It had withstood the storms of many years, and was supposed to be good for many more ; but dry-rot had eaten out its core, and little was left save the bark. So men in prime olten sudden ly drop the burdens of life, and friends are plunged into grief. What was the mysterious cause? It is eay to say heart-lailure ; but how much was due to the condition of the blood cannot but result from the mode of living with so many m this busy age. The signs of depraved blood being neglected, ev ery organ, and especially the heart, be comes, injuriously affected. There are only two courses to adopt ; first, avoid the style of living which vitiates the circulation ; secondly, when symptoms of blood-impurity show themselves, be gin, without delay a course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the only blood-purifier that can be relied upon to cleanse and invigorate the system ; the only one adjudged worthy of exhibition at the Chicago World's Fair.

Correspondence to The 1)emochat) Aydex, N. C, April 8, '''. The Legislature changed the name ot this place to Harrington, in honor of the name of its founder, who had his own choice at first of naming it what he wished. He named it Ayden and the post office department and railroad companies hold on to the old name. A new land company has been organ ized here. It is called Ayden Land and Improvement Company, with Jesse Coman president, W. F. Hart vice president, R. W. Smith secretary and J. R. Smith treasurer. The new com pany is composed of live business men and Ayden may look tor better times. There is a brightening up in politics here. Our present mayor and one com missioner are pops, but the acts of the Legislature have changed the tide and we expect to carry the town Democrat ic by a good majority. Ix The Sriaxc.
