It has to deal with the ap petites of irum and in a free government where the people rule, any legis lation tending to check the manufacture and sale ol liquor is compelled to run counter to tne great principle ol non-interference with the personal habit o; the individual. A Democratic government therefore is always hu:th to deal with thia problem and i;ever does so except when public opin ion has reached the point at which it becomes necessary to put that public opinion into legislation. The last Legislature, guided by this rule and fully rec !; i.kig its obligation within the limits ol the Constitution to respond to popular demand, adopted what is known as the Watts law. That statute met with imich criticism and much praise. It proceeded along lines well ?.s-abhshed iu ihu State. For more than twenty years each succeeding Legislature has adopted a bill prohibiting the manufacture and sale of li quor within a given number of miles of various churches and school house;:. The number of such places in which the manufacture and sale of liquor has heretofore been prohibited runs up into the thousands. It la perhaps not too much to say that by means of these various acts, liquor could neither be manufactured nor sold in nine-tenths of the territory of the Slate. I recall one whole county that was made a prohibition county by the bimple device of prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquor within a certain number of miles o! the various churches and school houses in the county. The Legislature of 1003 finding nine-tenths of the territory of tne State 'dry' decided to take direct steps to drive the manu facture and sale cfliquor out of the State except iae'acorporated towns, readily conducted that what nine-tenths of tiie State already enjoyed and demanded, was good for the other tenth. It wisely considered that the ap potiies of men not being under the control of legislation, they would ob tain liquor to a mora or less extent. It therefore provided that liquor eovJd Le manufactured and sold in the towns, but even here it could only be done by permission of the people of the towns. The main reason, how ever, for the passage of the Watts law, and the reason which ought to satis f v ana will finally satisfy every right-thinking man, was that the manu facturo and sale of liquor in the country was s constant menace to the peace, quiet and good order oi tbe country. The towns and cities main tain a police force and thus are enabled to restrain and lessen the evils ilowini? from drunkenness. There is no police force in the country and tho State is not prepared to maintain one. There is no greater menace to the (:!.l u and good order of any country community than a whiskey- still and .i bar room. Xo man will deny this. 'We have entered upon an educational awakening in this State which is seeking not only to open the door of the school house to every child but to persuade and influence every chi'd to enter that school house. There are men who have seen a school ilouriah in a town close by a bar room or a still, but no man has ever yet seen a school grow up and prosper by the si Je ol a bar room or whiskey still in tbe country. The Legislature, there fore, w as confronted with the question whether they should open 8nd maintain school houses in the country for children, or whiskey stills and bar rooms for the- men. will ratify it ;;t the polls. In my jugdment this act is one of the best eyer passed by any Legislature. The conditions justified it. The demands of the pson'o required it ana the results have prcyen beneficial. With the passicv; of the years it will be iound to have been a most effective agency in tne cause of temperance.'' Governor Ayeock closed his great speech as follows : "There are those who say that we ought to have two parties in the State. The time m-iy come when this wilt be true. It will certainly come if the party in power proves unfaithful to its trust and becomes corrupt or ineffi cient ; but for tho present, with an honest and courageous administration of the laws, with a constant thought for the needs of the weak, with a due respect ior the lights of the strong, with an earnest endeavor to serve all to the uplifting of the whole State the Democratic party Is alone sufficient. We need a united people. We need the combined effort of every North Carolinian. We need the strength which comes from believing alike. But I am no advocate of compelling balief. I would not check freedom of speech. I would sot no limit to the utterances of the press, save the limit which the law always sets, that of speaking the truth. But, having spoken the truth, having printed the truth, I would have all our people to believe ia the possibilities of North Carolina ; in the strength of her men ; tbe pu rity o! her women, and their ability to accomplish as much as can be done anywhere on the earth by any people. I would have them to become dis satisfied with smalt things ; to be anxious for higher and better things ; to yeam alter real greatness ; to seek after knowledge ; to do the right thing in order that they may ba what they ought. I would have the strong to bear the burdens of tho weak and to lift up the weak and make them etrong tesching men everywhere that real strength consists not in serv ing ourselves.but in doiDg for others. I see the day coming when this State sha'l sit down at the common table of the Union an equal sister with all the others gathered there equal in wealth ; equal in high performance ; equal in noble ideals. Nothing short of this ought to satisfy us and to at tain this let us ever hope. "1 thank you, gentlemen of the convention, for the courtesy you have extended me in permitting me to say these things. I know that the choice which you shall make to-day will be a worthy one. The State will be in good hands ard I shall return to the life of a private citizen forever grate ful to the people of this State for the honor which they have done me and for the considerate courtesy which they have ever shown me."

A GOOD SSUCATOB. j Its Editor Bears Great Bdspsnsioility Wilmington Mesaebger.! We have bad occasion several times of late to refer to the increase in the number of new country new papers and tbe improvements on the ones already established. It always gives us pleasure to note this progress. It is an evidence of tbe advancement of education in the rural districts and a greater demand among the country people ior touch with the outside world. The advance along this line continues, we are glad to note. New weekly papers are con stantly springing up, and many tha heretofore were published only once r week now see their way to giving their subscribers two issues a week. This is encouraging and a source of gratifica tion to those who are interested in the all-round edncation of the people of rural districts and dissemination of gen eral knowledge among them. There is no better educator of this sturdy class of our population than clean, well edited country papers. Wherever you Bee such papers mak ing a success you can set it down as a self-evident proposition that there is an improvement in both the worldly goods jmd in the matter of education in the people within the territory of the circulation of that paper. No man in 1 North Carolina is able to publish a newspaper, whether a daily or weekly, for the fun of it." In order to keep his paper afloat he must have the fi nancial as well as tbe moral support of the territory in which his paper circu lates or should circulate. And when you see an editor widening cut in bis business, either in increase of the col umns of reading matter or in the num ber of issues per week you may set it down as a fact that his work is meet ing with the appreciation of his people and that he is receiving their substan tial support. The country paper should go into every home in the sphere of influence of that paper. There is no better edu cator in tbe laad. It ia as goud as the common school or the country acade my. Many a man has made his mark in North Carolina who learned to read by diligent Btady of his county news paper. It has been said that the school master is a power in tbe land. The editor of a clean, up-to-date country newspaper can wield more influence and do more for the education of the country people than can tbe rural com mon school teacher. Such an editor instructs the old as well as the young. He giyes information and instruction to the heads of the family on tbe farm and inspires them with a desire lor greater information and wider instruct ion as well as to the children, while the school teacher can hope to reash only the young and tbe unemployed on the farm. A great responsibility rests with tbe editor of the county newspaper. He is more than a purveyor of tbe local gos sip. We is, or should be, an educator of the old as well as of tbe young, a leader ot thought and a moulder of public opinion among tbe sovereigns of the land. He can do bis State great good or work immense evil, as he is in clined. But to the honor ot the coun ty newspapers ot onr State, be it said, he is universally interested in the cause of the former. The daily papers ot the big cities have no such influ ence as do the county papers. The editors ot tbe latter should re cognize their responsibility to tbe peo ple and should act up to it. We are glad to record tbe fact that most of those whose papers come to this office recognize tbe responsibility and do their duty to their subscribers and their communities. Tbe county news paper in North Carolina is doing a great work and we honor and respect the men who shape their course and govern their policy. A'LongLiye&Fiko. London Standard.

Sons, savs a dispatch from Ardmore, was employed for several years by R. H. Johnson, a contractor of Wayne. He was a man of education and culture, and, according to rumor, was the heir to a British title which, for some mysterious reason, he would not or could not claim. When the man died J. S. Pearce, at that time an undertaker, but who has since retired, embalmed tbe body and decided to bold it until it should be claimed. No one ever claimed H, and, as the embalming was unusually suc cessful, a number of efforts have been made by museums to purchase the body, but Mr. Pearce says he will not surrender it except to some member cf Mack's family. The body has been viewed by thou sands of people, many of them Eng lishmen, who hoped to identify it. Tbe skin retains its natural color, an I the sandy mustache and hair remain as in life. The nose has become un naturally sharp from haying been pinched by people who doubted it tbe man was really dead.

Twenty years ago there was a young man, tbe son of a widow, living in Yadkin county, who was struggling courageously against adverse circum stances to obtain an education. He was not born in tbe lap of luxury and wealtb consequently he bad nothing to rely upon but his own indomitable determination to win. He perhaps did not realize then but no doubt does now, th?t bis thirst for learning backed by his invincible will power was of far greater value to him than gold. Money at this time in his life would have dwarfed bis energies by prevent ing that vigorous exercise of them whica is absolutely nea'tuiut ueyeiop- ment. About twenty years ago he entered the Peabody School at Nashville, Tenr. Alter completing the course there and teaching a year or two he entered the State University at Chapel Hill. After g.aduatiog from tho Universi ty and again teaching for a lew year? he went to Harvard University where , he took epeciai curses. At the end ol his first year's work Le Was made a tutor in the college. Lib perform ing his duties as tutor he continued to t.ke special courses until two years ago when be was chosen to a professor ship in tbe oldest and greatest college in America. From August 15th to September 12th he will be in charge of the Harvard University summer course in geological field work in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Yadkin county should bo proud of tbe success ol this young man. His success should be an inspiration to every boy in the county. What he has done others may do. But remem ber that there is no success without eff rt, and the greater the effort the greater the success. A great many covet honors they never merited ; they want" the reward without laboring for it. Commence at the bottom and pull yourselves rung by rung steadily up to the lop of tbe ladder of lame. If you commence at the top and a great many try to do this there is but one direction for you to go to the bottojn. We met this young man a few days ago on the train and rode with him a short distance. We were friends a score ot years ago, we are friends yet. We predicted a bright future for him and our expectations bava been more than realized. He baa won be cause he had high aims. He will win other honors because be has other and higher aims. We do not hope for his future success we expect it, atd shall not be disappointed. DRIVEN TO DESPERATION.
