It i? the business of the newspaper man to boom the city tor till it in worth month after month and then see $50 worth of printing go out of the city becwuso 10 cents can be saved by so doing. It i.s the busi ness of the newspaper to give every local enterpnre enthusiastic ami frequent '-sendoH's" and then catch sheol because he failed 10 record the fact that some prominent citizen has his delivery wagon painted. To subscribe liberally to every public, charitable and church enterprise, advertise them for nothing, pay his own way to everything and then be called prejudiced and mean spirited because a column is not devoted to that particular a Hair. Do you won der that there are so many (franks' in the newspaper, business? It is bound to make either a crank or u philosopher out ot a man. Ex. Col. Beasley at Creswell. On Friday night last a meeting of the Democrats at Creswell was t ad dressed by Mr. W. M. Bond, Jr.,'and others. During the evening Col. V. F. Beasley was called on and, never failing to respond to a call of his county in any particular, especially when that call comes from his party, the Col. arose and in his pleasing and forcible manner made a few red hot democratic remarks. Col. Beasley addressed his remarks in the main, to a class of Democrats who, while good, honest party men, feel that they have some slight gre vianco. against their party, and thus feeling have- become careless and in different. We ag'-ee with Col. B., that the party is notabove mistakes, but that this is no time for men to dill'er on minor issues or petty of fences. The best interesis of the Stale is at stake, and while the Dem ocratic parly is not perfect and us leaders may hava done things th;if have not suited us, yet the opposing piirly is farther from our ideal of perfection, hence it behooves us as Democrats to siand by tlm nominees of our party in this campaign. Jt is a great pity that more of this disstiti.-died class con Id not have heard Col. Beasley. In a patriotic and earnest manner he made a stion: appeal to his hearers to unite in one solid phalanx auainstthe Republican party in Washington county and in North Carolina. The Campaign Prevaricator. Washington county seems to be sorely alllicted with what is some times unkindly called "the cam paign liar." lie is a class to himself. Excited, feeling the awful responsi bility of keeping the ship of state down the strait and narrow channel and knowing always that those en trusted with power by the people are false to their trusts, particularly if the patriot aggrieved did not get the largest plum on the political free, his perfervid imagination gets free rein, and piercing thjj dim cur tain of tho future with prophetic eye, brings forth things monstrous to all beholders. Such Witii the excited condition of the heat oppressed brain shat threw out the awful prophesy in Scupper nong the other night, that if the Democrats got elected no farmer would be permitted to ship even a bale of cotton or a coop of chickens. The uul'oi tunate fool who made this declaration might have been pardon ed for it on the ground of temporary insanity, but what of the idiot who repeals it in cold blood, expecting his neighbor to believe it? If such clumsy lies emulated from fools, they would not bo noticeable, but when they come from teachers, lead ers of men, in a community, they show pretty conclusively the charac ter of a party that would win by such con temp table methods. The, brilliant liar is sometimes en tertaining, but tho hew, venom charged liar is a nuisance, pven in a politic campaign where the fossils of negro domination are seeking re cojrnition. Had a Close Call. Mrs. Ada L Croom, the widely known proprietor of the Croom Hotel, Vaughn, Miss., says: "For several mouths I eu tit-red with a severe cough, and consumption seemed to have its crip on me, when a friend reeomended Dr King's New Dis covery. I began taking it, and three bot. ties alficted a complete cure." The fanm of this life saving cough ami cold remedy, and lung and throat healei is wofld wide. Sold by BpruiH A Bro. f.Oc. aud $1.00.
