PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TAKING SHAPE. The presidential campaign of 1908 is now on in earnest. Last week the Democratic State Convention of Ne braska, Bryan's home, and the Repub lican Convention of Ohio, Taft's home, were held and these gentlemen were respectively enthusiastically endorsed and platforms written which are reflec tions of their well known views. That Bryan will be the Democratic nominee and that the Republicans does not now admit of a reasonable dodbt, and it may, with all reason, be said that the platforms written last week are harbingers of the Denver and Chicago platforms. As predicted in this column more than a month ago, they are similar in many respects. This puts the two parties squarely for rt form and in the campaign the Republi cans, naving been for years in control of affairs, will have to fight on the de fensive, and with a divided party, while the Democrats,;.with a reunited party, will have many advantages. Though there is much, in the plat forms bearing similarity there is a world difference in the temperament [of parties and the two men who will lead them. Unwaver ingly have Bryan and the majority of the Democratic party stood for these reforms for years, and the adoption of many of the principles by the Repub licans is but the shadow cast before. If the country has come to regard them as right why should not those be en trusted to bring them, a bout who have fought steadfastly for this accomplish ment? This as to trust regulation and the punishment of corruption and dis honesty in high places, but on the ques tion of the tariff, the old man of the sea hanging onto the backs of the great body of the people, the gulf between the two parties .andj candidates is as wide as space itself. No hope for tar iff reform can be expected of the Re publican party which owes its existence to this very thing, and all other evils pale into insignificance when compared to this legalized robbery of the many for the classes. Might as well expect the condemned man to spring the trap for his own execution as to expect relief from the iniquitous tariff by Republican revision of it. THE ANTI-PROHIBITION MOVEMENT. The Record is not one of those dis posed to ridicule or belittle the move ment against State prohibition launch ed at Salisbury last week, nor to decry the men, who participated in the meet ing, for it knows full well some of them at least are men of soberness, probity and honest motives. That was to have been expected, for when did a southern American ever yield without first letting his adversary feel the weight of his steel? And in the interest of temperance we welcome a square stand-up fight, having perfect faith in the outcome and that a full and free discussion of the issue will strengthen the cause of temperance, which of all things can stand the greatest amount of light. The educational effect of an open fight would be wholesome, and we believe, would do more to clarify the waters and make for effective and per manent prohibition than a hysterical campaign waged by friends of the cause against an enemy fighting under cov r and- resorting to dark ways. From its vantage point prohibition can have no fear and the prohibitionifct who argues that it can has little, faith in his cause. Let us have a full, free and open campaign and then when State prohibition is triumphant on the 26th of May we will have a people fully alive to it quickened for its enforce ment. _____ Our news columns carry the story, of the North Collinwood, 0., horror, of the burning to death of nearly 200 schoolchildren. This is beyond com pare in modern history, because the victims were children from 6 to 15 year's of age. It was enough to wring tears from a heart of adamant, and how the bereaved ones could remain Bane is a mystery. The law in Virginia, recently passed by both branches of the assembly, sub stituting electrocution for hanging in capital offences also forbids publication of the harrowing details of th« execu tion and requires it to be almost abso lutely secret. Thus when a man is con demned to the death call he is obliter ated from life as completely as seems a snowflake in warm water, the horror of which fate will doubtless have a deterrent effect on the criminally in clined. The Benbon Spokesman, published at Benson, N. C., by Mr. R. E. Lee, was launched upon the uncertain sea of journalism last week and a copy of the paper found its way into our office. It is indeed a creditable sheet for a town no larger than Benson, and its adver tising patronage shows the merchants are alive to the value of a newpaper in the community. We welcome The Spokesman to our exchange list and wish for it great success. The Southern Railway Company's quarterley report for the last quarter of 1907 showing an increase in net intra state earnings over the corresponding period of 1906 places that road in the position of having to answer some awk ward questions when they insist on cutting wages of employes. Does Governor Glenn's statement in a speech at Winston Saturday that after Jan. 1, 1909, he would open a law office in that city bear any significance as to whether he has abandoned the idea of taking a shot at Senator Overman's p'ace in the United States senate? STATE NEWS. State Treasurer B. R. Lacy has re turned home from Arizona, where he went in search of health, andj is mucn improved. Hon. E. C.

After this week Governor Glenn will take ten days' recreation, spending his time in Washington, Philadelphia and New York. He takes the resting spell that he may the more vigorously enter the prohibition campaign. Superintendent W. J.

Kirby Pope, assayer »f the mint at Charlotte, a berth that pays a good salary, has resigned, alleging as his reason for so doing that he cannot stan State Chairman Adams, of the Repub lican executive committee. He is suc ceeded by W. S. Pearson, of Morgan ton. Maurice Jeans, ,sonof Atha Jeans, a farmer of Franklin county, was ar rested and is in jail in default of $6,000 bond, charged withstealing $6,000 from his fasher, the parents of the young man being the prosecutors in the case. Jeans, the elder, had saved up a lot of money and instead of dipositing it in a bank kept it hid away in his smoke house, and it was stolen. It ; s believed the boy had confederates. The Rocky Mount Record, Thursday, March 12, 1908. FOUGHT TO RETAIN FORMULA WHICH HAS MADE A FORTUNE L. T. Cooper, the man who believes that 90 per cent, of all ill health of this generation is caused by stomach trouble, is fast winning a national faith in his theory. His claim is now admitted by a surprising number of people throughout the country, and he is gaining new adherents every day. While speaking of liis success in a recent interview, Mr. Cooper said: "I believed ten years ago that any one who could produce a formula that would thoroughly regulate the stom ach would have a fortune. When I got hold of this formula I knew with in six months that I was right, and that my fortune was made. I called the medicine Cooper's New Discovery, although I did not get up the formula. I have owned it, however, for over three years. I have had one lawsuit over it, which I won in the courts. When it was settled The Cooper Medi cine Company became the only firm in the world that can prepare the medi cine. The preparation has sold like wildfire wherever introduced. As I have said before, it is successful sim ply because, it puts the stomach in perfect shape, then nature does the rest. There are any number of com plaints never before associated with stomach trouble that the medicine has alleviated in thousands of cases."

''r ' . » Among statements obimined recently from users of this meaicine that is arousing such universal discussion is one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, living in Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule vard, who said: "Perhaps I had the most complicated case that Mr. Cooper had to deal with. 1 was troubled for years with my ctomach. I consulted with doctors and took many patent medicine preparations without result. My stomach was in such a wretched shape tfrat I could not enjoy a meal that I ate. "I was very nervous, and could hardly sleep; I had a roaring in my ears and dancing spots before my eyes. I felt very bad and weak. Then there was a very sore spot at the pit of my stomach that nearly set me wild. "I heard about the Cooper medicine and decided to try it. I used four bot tles, and the improvement in my case has been really wonderful. My nerves have been quieted, and I am so much improved that I feel like a new wo man. "I cannot say too much for these wonderful remedies, for they have made me well." We sell the Cooper medicines and consider them well worth a trial by any one afflicted with chronic stom ach trouhlfiL&nd its attendant diseases. —May & Gorham.
