HEBE'S A DEMOCRAT FOB YOU t Studs o Like S Mu lor Party Lay ally — Urges Bickers ta Abandon Their Celd Water Cora aad Fall la Liae. To th« SMtlor of tha OuttU: Bine smoke is rising from nearly every Democratic home in the western part of the coun ty, is a declaration in the News of July the 18th. Now if auch a condition exists anywhere in the county, we are sure it is not in the Panhandle, which we always understood constituted the extreme north western portion of Gaston. We are fully satisfied so far as the work of the convention is con-, cerned, but the P—1—. The little mist, not smoke, that was afloat is not chargeable to the convention but to the P-. This Is my fiftieth year in the rank and file of the Democratic party casting in my little mite for its advancement, sometimes to win, sometimes to lose. A loss only awakens new energy in a true Democrat. Fifty years is a pretty good record, isn't it? In all of these fifty years we never asked anytaing in me gift M the party till tele time, we were defeated, bnt we doll om old hat and, like any pood honest Democrat will do, cheer fully submit to the will of the majority and go to work for the ticket. Enlighten the voters in every way yon can, then let him vote free from restraint. This is th« freedom out forefathers bought for ns and paid for with their blood, which wna as pterion* to them as onrt is to ns. Think of this, gentlemen, and acorn the idea of ring mle which will soon ■ or late tap the fonndation of onr free institutions. It pains us, bnt truth forces us to acknowledge that such has been practiced In the Democratic party. There have been expressions of dissatisfaction with our ticket. Let ua advise correspondents to move over into the Republican ranks rather than remain with us and fight us by stirring up dissatisfaction in our own ranks. Such a coune is all tbe Republi cans wish or need. The Repub licans, not only in North Caro lina bnt elsewhere sre moving hesven and earth to re-elect J. C. Pritchard United States Sen ator, and they can only do so by electing s majority in the legislature. We have a strong enemy well entrenched behind Marcus Aurelius Hanna’s gold bag. We never had and never will have a more important elec tion than tbe one just ahead of us. Do yon wish to lose our slate, Judicial, Congressional, legislative, and county offices? If so, keep on pouring cold water; but if not stop your cold water remedy and go to work for Democracy and victory Respectfully submitted, W. O. Haxkklsok. CbeTTyviUe, N. C., July 29,1902. The "Ivory City" Sold. The exposition buildings and site of Charleston’s "Ivory City,” except the cotton palace and the State building, were sold at auedou last Thursday for $10, 105.50. The News and Courier says it was a glad day for the lucky purchasers. Think of the Pal ace of Commerce, with its 43, 000 square feet of floor space, "going, going, going, three times, ana gone, for $105 to Henry OliverT” And the Audi torium for $108! The adminis tration building for $110! Then there was the Crescent Inn, which brought $15. The board and wire fencing and posts around the Exposition site sold for $305—and the original cost of the wire alone was $1,500. The cast and wrought iron pip ing, above and below ground, was doubtless sold for nearer its real value than anything that Col. Schachte had in stoclc. It was disposed of for $4,925, its first cost being about $15,000. "What am I offered for this race track fence?" cried Col. Schachte in persuasive tones. "Fifty cental" shouted a man who had just made up his mind to squander his money. The fence was sold for $38. Minister We Slay* a While. Wuklado* IMmMcti. My Slat. The announcement from China that Minuter Wa is to remain here indefinitely is explained by the fnrther announcement here that there has been a change of plana and that Lien Cheng, the newly appointed minister to the United States, who is now in London acting u secretary to Prince Chen instead of coming directly to Washington to as sume his office. M originally In tended, is going first to make s vieit U> China. This will con enme from (our to six months, so that Minister Wu probably will not be able to leave the United States tills year. At the DeKalb Cotton Mill ia Camden, 8. C., the steam chest of the low pressure cylinder ex ploded, kilting D. J. Kelley, the assistant engineer.

H« was Tried la Yerkvflle Charged With Obtaining Money Under Pels# Pretences la ea Alleged Wild-cat Insarsnce Scheme—Hew he Werfced the Beeineee. Cb»rl«ium Men <>d Coukl Yorkvilk. July 30.— John G. Neely, charged with obtaining money under false pretences in connection with his agency for the "United States Mutual Life Insurance Company," was tried here yesterday afternoon before Magistrate Johnson, with a mistrial as a result. The pro secutor was W. S. Hogue, a well known fanner living in Bethel Township, and he was represented by Mr. J. S. Brice. The defendent was represented by Major James F. Hart and Mr. F. P. McCain. Hogue claimed that he had been defrauded out of about $13. From the testimony brought out on the stand it was plain that Neely was the whole tuing. He worked his scheme on the foliowiug plan: He would say; ”1 the agent of the United States Mutual Life Insurance Company; we are operating on an entirely new plan, or rather one that is different from the old line companies or the ordi nary assessment concerns. We propose to secure l.uuu members in York Connty, ranging in age from 18 to 70. No medical ex amination is required, as our ex perience has demonstrated the fact that medical examinations arc both expensive and un necessary. All it costs to be come a member is the admission fee, (which varied in amount from $2.73 for « person of 18 to about $7JO for one of 70.) and each member on the death of a policy-holder will be assessed SI 10—$1 to raise the $1,000 dne his family and 10 cents to pay the expenses incident to making the collection—which you sec will furnish protection at a very low rate. As soon as one mem ber dies, or drops ont, there will be another to take bis place, and for Uiis reason we will al ways be able to pay the benefi ciaries the fall amount for which they are insured. Up in Cleve land County. N. C., where I nave lusi ninsneu organizing a branch there are more than one hundred persona who are anx iously awaiting an opportunity to become members. The com pany has assets of $13,000,000, with headguartem in New York, and should there be a death be fore 1,000 members are secured in York County, $1,000 will be paid to the beneficiaries just the same, the deficiency coming from the homeoffice." In addition to the foregoing assertion it was claimed by one witness that Naely made the statement that the company had $5,000 on deposit in the Ixwn and Savings Bank at YorkviUe with which to pay claims, while another said that Neely told him that "they expected to deposit that amount." It was also said that he rep resented that a prominent citizen of YorkviUe, who is alio a county official, was president of the county organisation, while another equally aa promi nent, and also a county official, was treasurer. It was proven beyond doubt that neither of these was or ever had been con nected with tbe "company” in any capacity. After remaining out for about an hour the jurv reported thnt it was unable to agree on a verdict. It is said that five of the jurors were lor acquittal and one for conviction, and that the five who were in favor of acquitting the accused stood that wav because of the fact that they were not convinced that each individual who had become a member of t the United States Mutual Life Insurance Company did so, not because of Neely’s statement as to the existence of the parent company in New York with assets of $14,000,000, or the al leged connection of two promi nent county officials, but be cause they believed that the scheme outlined for obtaining 1,000 members and assessing each of them $1.10 on the death of a member was a brand new ar rangement, and would wdn, an a as a result each one who wm bo fortunate as to jret in on tbc ground floor wonld be able to secure $1,000 gilt-edge in surance at about one-third the cost in tbc old Hue companies, and that it was useless to punish Neely lor doing what hundreds of others were doing all over this and other States and no effort being made to stop them, especially in view of the fact that the jury was satisfied that another man who knew bis busi ness could go into the same neighborhood where Neely operated last foil and winter and do the tame thing next fall and winter,: There ore about twenty or thirty cases of the same kind against Neely, snd the next one is set for trial to-morrow, but nobody has any idea that be will be convicted on any of them, because of the fact that the position of the majority of the jury yesterday reflects the sentiments of the majority of the people of the community who were not on the jury. The Yorkyflle Enquirer says that according to agreement reached by counsel, Magistrate Johnson returned to Yorkville on Thursday for the purpose of taking the case up ogam. In the meantime, w. W. Lewis, Esq., had been associated with Mr. Brice to assist in the prose cution asked for further post ponment on the ground of ab sence of material witnesses. The post ponment was agreed to and Saturday, August 9, warn fixed as the dote for resumption of the proceedings. Three SmO»»i Cun. CtavclaaS Mac. There ere three cases of small pox in Shelby near the new mill. A strict quarantine has been es-, tablished and is being rigidly malatalned. The disease, it is thought, was brought here by factory operatives from Spartan burg wbo bad just recovered from aa attack of smallpox. All necessary precautions have been taken to prevent the spread of the disease and there need be no fear unless the population in that vicinity needlessly expose them selves. We trust the patties will all convalesce rapidly and no new cases will develop. President G. T. Winston an nounces that it will be impossible to take students St the A. and M. College from other states since there la not room enough for thoee from North Carolina. Thin does not apply to those enrolled last session. i THE VALUE OPAOVEITISUfO. Priafera* Ink U a Saiaa— wfca Navar Tires ead Merer QniU. , Joseph R. Katluen*. in an interesting article ia the Milwaukee Sentinel cm the value of advertising, says: A business represented by printers’ ink is one that lasts. Printers’ ink works while you work and while you sleep. It b a salesman who never tires and never quits; one of whom your, competitor cannot rob you;' printers’ iuk is the one great artery of commercial activity. It is the medium through which the world is made to know what you taow and profess about your individual business. It b even possible, by the aid of printers’ ink, to force the sale of the article without merit, but such prosperity necessarily b There are two kinds of ad vertising; the kind that pays and that which docs not. Still, there ore many businesses which survive in spite of the latter, which tends to make the subject of advertising such a complex problem. No great national commercial success, however, has been achieved without printers* ink. A pre requisite of good advertising is absolute honest in every state ment. Furthermore, to shoot over the heads of your readers is money and space wasted. To tell all you know in a single announcement is like firing at a grissly bear with a scattering charge of bird-shot, while the same load in one bullet, proper ly aimed, will bring down the bear. Advertising is simply telling the story in tne most convincing manner. To say the proper thing at the proper time and be fore the proper audience, is the fundamental principle of all good successful advertising. The Clever MIL Vorkvlitc iMlRt. The Clover Cotton mill paid another 10 per cent, dividend not long ago and still lias on hand a cash surplus of something like $25,000 to be used in buying additional machinery if the di rector* so decide. It has been the policy of the management of this mill to grow and develop as rapidly aa possible ou a strict cash basis. The idsa of buying machinery with borrowed money has been suggested at different meetings of the stockholders; hut the directors have so far been sble to discourage such a step.
