FROM THE CAPITOL OF OUR STATE Hot Fight in the Next Democratic State Convention Over the Anti-Liquor Laws April 18, 1904 It begins to look like there is go ihg to be a hot fight in the Demo cratic State Convention over a proposition to commit the party to endorse an effort., that is to be made .next winter, to amend the anti liquor laws passed by the last legislature. Indeed, the fight is al ready on, and is now attracting much attention from some of the advocates aud opponents of \he proposition. This writer is not going to under take to say, at tills stage of the game, which course will be best for the party to pursue. There ar« certain facts of recent development, however, and certain allegations that a~e being made, that claim his attention as a newspaper corres pondent. Unquestionably there are serious divisions among the white people of the State, and especially in a large number of the western counties, on this subject. Meution was recently made in these letters of the fact that a number of prominent Demo crats from the west (some of them lawyers in attendance on the Su preme Court) have voluntarily stated, while in Raleigh, tha' the party organization in their section is not in as good condition as it ought to be. Some of them went further than that, and added that, unless something was done to im prove existing conditions, the de feat of the Democratic party nomi nees In a number of counties was likely to result. Tui# peril, they claim, not only affects the nominees fur county offices, but involves the possible loss of many legislative caudidaties, for both the Senate and the House, and two or three COll gressmeu. They claim that this alleged dis satisfaction and threatened deser tion is due, almost entirely, to the responsibility cf the "Democratic party for the temperance or auti liquor legislation accomplished dur- ing the last session of the legisla ture through the passage of the Watts' law. tl\e "anti-jug law and other measures." It is contended that the only way to nppeasc the dissatisfied element is to amend these new laws in certain particu lars which are printed out, one of the proposed amendments being the elimination of that section of the Watts' act that deprives the coun try people of the right to hold township local option elections, and restore to them the same right and privilege which the same law guar antees to town people, to wit, the right of each comuiunitv to settle the question for themselves. Then they add: "Inasmuch as another sessiottof the General As sembly will not be held until after the general elections in November, it is proper and necessary to con vince these voters in advance of the election that this and some other modifications of the law will be mqde by the Democratic party. The I best and about the only effective ! way to do this is for the party to adopt, resolutions to that effect at the forthcoming State Convention, or by inserting a plank of t'.iat character in the platform. U less one or other of th.se things is done Democratic candidates, generally, will have a hard time iu western North Carolina this year."

In buying Witch Hazel Salve it is ouly neces sary to see that you get the genu ine DeWitt's and a cure is certain. There are many cheap counterfeits on the market, all of which are worthless, and quite a few are dan gerous, while DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is perfectly harmless and cures. Sold by Andersou, Craw ford &_Co. That is the way they talk—men who are supposed to be well in formed and who ought to be fa miliar with the real conditions that obtain in their section. Are they unduly alarmed ? The champions of the temper ance laws, and the defenders of tho Watts' act as a whole, say they are* This element of the party, (which includes the officials aud leaders of the Anti-Salooif League) and which has in the saddle lately, and which acquired the "wllipend of the party las-h" and applied it vigorously to the doubting thonias es of the last General Assembly, is evidently in 110 mood for a "com promise." Some of them would uever agree to such a thing if tluy were convinced of the truth of the above outlined claims. They assert that the great ma jority of Democrats approve of the legislatison so far accomplished, but say that they are not through making temperance laws yit. That instead of "modifying" the present laws, by repealing portions of them, there is a greater demand by larger numbers for additional and more stringent legislation 011 the subject of the liquor traffic. As to the alleged discrimination, they declare that it is in favor of, and not against, the country peo ple and their best interests They add that the majority of country people realize thu and are entirely satisfied with the law as it now ex ists; that it Is not the country peo pie who arc complaining of dis crimination against them and d«. intituling the "right to hold town ship elections" (except, possibly smy.ll numbers in a very few coun ties) but that some of the politi ci uis, including, probably, paid at torneys of the liquor interests. They allege that if the law should be changed in this respect the liqu or dealers' and distillers organi zations would pick out a small township in each of a number of counties (especially those near to prohibition mid dispensary towns uti'l cities) and by the use of money and other undue influences,alteinj to debauch the votes. That the countiy bar room, without police snrveilance, Ins proved to be t'.i • very worst feature of the liquor traffic, and tiiat the section of the Watts' law that has wiped it cut of existence is the best provision of the who'e act. And there you are! Don't look like there is much chance of the two elements getting together, does it ? Therefore, I repeat, there is l kely to be a hot timt in the Slate Convention when the matter is tak ea up. • . * The special committee appointed by the Govt! nor to investigate the affairs ,of the A. & N. C. Railro:d was in session all last week, behind closed doors, taking evidence; but not a word of the disclosures has Iteen allowed to reach tlic ears of the public. No one exported th _■ investigation to be conducted in se cret, and tlKre is much disappoint ment and a considerable show of indignati >ll over ihe action of the committee. * * * (Continued on Second Page) Good fir Clildrii The pleasant to take and harmless One Minute Cough Cure gives im mediate relief in all cases of Cough, Croup and LaGrippe because it does not pass immediately into the stomach, but takes effect right at the seat cf the trouble.

Onco upon 11 time—n long while Igo, children—there lived a wise old Iniui who was always trying to see what ho could discover. Having ninde several perpetual motion machines ami one or two air ships, ho was walking through the fields to avoid his creditors when lie enmo upon a pumpkin. "This," he said to himself, betid ing down and feeling of the yellow orb, "is a vegetable growth, hut' 1 firmly liellcve that it acquires it* hue from small particles of gold which it extracts from the earth." So ho put the pumpkin on hi* shoulder and took "it home, telling nil anxious inquirers that he was going to discover how to extract tho gold from it. At home, in spite of all his wife said, he cut the pumpkin up and put it in a pot and boiled it, only he ar gued that ho was- melting it. When at last it was a pulpy ma«s he poured it out of the pot and right 011 top of a pan of dough that his wife had rolled out for the pur pose of making a dried apple pie. Now, you know tho kind of a wife he had, do you not ? A woman who will feod her husband on dried apple pie deserves to l>e married to two or three invontors, doesn't she? And so ho put tho pumpkin and tho dough into the oven, asserting that ho would hardon it with the heat and produce a solid aheot of gold and bo so rich that ho oould run for office on p reform ticket. But, hloss you, when the pumpkin and the dough came out of the oven it was not a solid sheet of gold at all, but a rich, golden, tantalizing section of goodness. And the poor inventor was hun gry, so he bit into it. A few moments lutcr several of his creditors broke into tho house and came upon him, crying: "Look here! Where is all that gold you were going to get for un?" And he never even looked up at them, but kept on eating, say ing: "Who cures for gold? [Bite bite. O-o-o-oh!) Who carea for gold? Men, I huvo discovered pumpkin pie 1" And the creditols. pat down alto und ate, and they, too, were happy ever after. So, now, when you eat pumpkin pie you should bo glad that tho poor inventor did not succeed 111 making gold of the pumpkin, for if'fcfhad the pumpkin niigttt never have gone further than to iill your teeth.— Judge.

A story going the rounds of the police force was told by the wife of the patrolman whom it concerns and consequently bears the stamp of truth. The policeman in question is on night duty, and one morning last week he went home after work to take his full eight hours' sleep. For two hours he tossed about and Could not more than get his eyes shut. Finally in desperation lie rose, don ned his uniform and, sitting in a chair tilted against tho wail, fell Bound asleep.
