CoHQOX, THE CONVENTION The Convention at Plymouth yesterday did itself proud in renom inating Hon. John H. Small for Congress. Mr. Small is a Demo crat among Democrats, and his district is proud of iiim. His rec ord is open to all, and was heartily .approved by his constituents yester day. Mr. Small is the only Con gressman from this state who is -quoted in the hand-book recently compiled by the National Congress ional Committee. One of his speeches against the ship subsidy policy of the Republican party is quoted and will be used as Cam paign literature. In nominating Hon. Walter L. Cohoon as~Hh*ctor 110 mistake was made. He is a Democrat of the first water ami one that is well nhle to m j et the enemy anywhere, and wherever hisseevic;s are need ed he will be found doing valiant service for his party. It is too common for Americans at home ami abroad toplume them selves upon the magnificence of their country. In fact the Ameri can abroad has made himself most obnoxious by his braggadocio, but lie is not unique in this respect. The Englishman brags, as well as the Frenchman and the German; the Japanese brags, in his way. But the American is perhaps the tnost, boastful boaster that boasts in 111 jdern thnss r and he has much to boast about. There is no other land in all the world so favored as the United States. The crop that is now toeing harvested is estimat ed to be eight billions of dollars, a sum so stupendous that it cannot be grasped by the intellect, but which is sufficient to pay the na tional debt and to purchase all the railroads in the United States be side. In the cotton crop, this country is without a competitor. 'Cotton is raised in India in China, in Egypt and the crops may be seen going to market in bullock carts and 011 the backs of donkeys, and camels, but the little raised in other climes .compares with ours in only a very remote degree as to quantity. Out cotton crop atone Only two dissenting votes in the Convention—well, you find knock ers in every walk of life. Frank, open criticisms are manly and com mendable and should be invited, hut, attacks in the dark are mean, despicable even in politics. The Coast Line in reducing the freight service to this point, plays into the hands of the Norfolk & Southern. A daily boat would ie lieve the situation, and the mer chants can get it if they want it. Twenty-one delegates from Mar tin attended the Convention in Plymouth yesterday—eighteen of them from Wi'liamston. The dissenters in the Congress ional Convention yesterday weie 1 evidently very lonely. There is one preparation known , today that will promptly help the stomach. This is Kodol. Kodol digests all classes of food, and it 1 does it thoroughly, so that the use 1 of Kodol for a time will without ; doubt help anyone who has stom- , ach disorders or stomach trouble. | Take Kodol today and continue it for the short time that is necessary to give you complete relief. Kodol 1 is sold by Chase's Drug Store; Biggs' Drug Store THE COST OF GOVERNMENT If we except the most active period of the civil war, the total drafts upon the Treasury of the United .States during the past Con gress have been greater than at any period in our history. In the year 1865 the appropriation was $1,309,000,000; of which 4 sl,- 030,000,000 was [spent upon the army. The appropriations for the fiscal year 1909 reached the total of 1 $ 1,007.086,569. The largest ap- 1 propiiatiou for a single department was that for the Post Office, which' ] was over $224,000,000. The next 1 |in size was that fur pensions of 1 over $163,000,000 The perma-' nent annual appropriation was over $ 154,000,000 The most signifi- , cant feature of the appropriations , during the year is the great amount , of attention that has been given to the building up of the military branch of the government; and the expenditures for the army and navy, if we leave out of account ] the years when the country was in ; the thores of the civil war, have been the largest made in the his tory or the ' country: The army J was granted over, $95,000,060; 59.500,000 was appropriated for , carrying 011 the fortification of our I sea coast, and $846,000 was ap propriated for the Military Acad emy. Moreover, under military ' expenses should be included the . which will be spent 011 pensions. It we add to this the sum of $121,000 000, appropriated for the navy, we ret a total expen diture for military purposes of one kind or another, direct or indirect, of nearly $400,000 000. a >ruly colossal sum. when we bear in J* mind that our standing army today is not over 70,000 in streugth.— Scientific American.

The Bryan demonstration in the Denver invention was thirty-nine minutes longer than the Roosevelt demonstation in the Chicago con vention, and that is something to , cr»w about.

JPoliilatf Gossip The day of the party ooss in North Carolina is about at an end. The people are now thinking and acting for themselves more than ever before. Machine politicians bad about as' vtell take notice. This bright day has been brought about by a more general diffusion of knowledge, by the work of our schools and colleges. Intelligence always has and always will rule. — Benson Spokeman. In Bryan the people see a leafier who will not only overthrow gov ernmental wrong, but whose posi tive characteristics and whose con structive ability will open to the American people a higher and nob ler citizenship. The democracy ot Biyan has triumphed. His splen did American manhood has won. —Nashville Tenncsseean. The ticket is now complete, Bry- 1 and Kern. It is worthy >t the unamimous support of the Alabama 1 democracy and that it should re ceive. r A solid and united party 1 in Alabama and other southern 1 states will have its moral effects on the doubtful states where the fight i will rage.—Montgomery Adver- ' tiser. In his public and private char acter, Mr. Bryan represents what is 1 highest and in American life. 1 As the years have passed he has grown in political statue until, as a leader, his ideas and policies doini* nate in the best sense the great par ty he is called to lead to victory 111 November. —Knoxville Sentinel. The demccratic declaration on the tariff will be satisfactory to , tariff reformers.

The Democratic National Con vention can well afford to keep their hands off the Brownsville in cident, and tell the negroes on their way \o Denver that this matter came up entirely within the Re publican party, during a Republi can administration and therefore they have nothing to do with it.— | Wilson Times. our Thirty-Hue Years In 1872 there was a great deal of i diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera infantum. It was at this time that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought into use. It proved more success ful than any other remedy or treat ment, and has for thirty-five years maintained that record. From a j small beginning its sale and use! has extended to every part of the 1 United States and to many foreign j countries. Nine druggists out of ten will recommend it when their opinion is asked, although they have other medicines that pay them a-greater profit. It can always be depended upon, even in the most : severe and dangerous cases. For sale by All Dipggists and Dealers n Patent MedLine. H ! . Just another case ot thinking 1 some spot around the house is a ■ safer receptacle for raonev than a » bank. A Greensboro young worn- I an had managed to save up $2,100. i She took a notion to draw the - money out of the bank and have -.it hid away at the home of her | father in the country, The story has the usual conclusion: While the family was absent lrom home a thief found the money and made way with it. It looks like enough items of this kind have been print ed to induce every person who has surpi us-money to deposit it in the banks.—Greenville Reflector.

South, was inaug u-ated for the purpose of s imu'ating 011 the part of laymen and devel oping Church workers among lay men. . This movement effected an or- I ganization in North Carolina Con ference at its last session at New Bern in December last with a pres ident of the Conference organiza tion and a vice-president for each Presiding Elder's District. Mr. J. S. Carr of Durham is the president, and I>r. D. B. Zollicoffer of Weldou is vice-president for the Warrenton District. An arrangement has been made for a mass meeting in the interest of this movement to be held in the Methodist Church iu Williamston on the 4th Sunday in July. Dr. Zollicoffer will speak on the Lymtn's Movement at 11 A. M.j and Mr. P N. Stainback will speak at 8:30 P. M.
