TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31. 1002. ' ' _-_—_ _ PE DAY OF ENLIGHTENMENT Never before in the history of this good old State has so much attentiou been given to edneatioo—to the business of learning things. Books are bought and studied and owned as never before. How important a part do they perform in our education! Prom them in lisping childhood we learn the wonderful alphabet, and through all after life these gentle friends odd to our wisdom and our pleasure as long as we take delight in their companionship. And, it may be safely remarked, the degree of refinement in any home may be measured by the attitude that home maintains toward books. Refinement, you know, ia a very gentle quality that may dwell alike in the humblest cottage or the proudest palatial home. In neither,' however, may its presence be suspected if the books therein are maltreated, neglected, or left to any evil fate that may over take them. But in either, the orderly and respectful care given to the books of the household is an unfailing mark not only of tidy housekeeping but of a certain degree of culture and refinement. And if the books are handsomely shelved in the modem sec tional book cases, whst more could house-keeper ur book-lover de sire? These sectional shelves with disappearing glass doors arc the book cases of the present and the future. The old kind be longs to days that are past and gone. We want The Caxetts’s readers to know oil about the which we handle. And by reading of them here, we hope you will be induced to come and see them for yonrself. They consist of THREE SEPARATE PARTS. Here they are: Base, Book Section, and Top. The book section or shelf is enclosed ex cept at the top, and has a glass door. The door may be opened outward by the little kuob and pushed back above the books. The top, base, and sections all fit in their proper places with out any knocking, banging, nailing or screwdriving; a little girl can put them together as easily as building blocks. Now bring these THREE PARTS TOGETHER thus, and you have the begin nings of shelf-room for a large private library. Raise np the glass door and slide it back at the top and the shelf is open to receive your books. Place them on the shelf, close the door, and there your books are, easy to see, easy to get, and protected from dust and dampness. Now, yon need not have more shelves than boolcs-no empty ■helves, no scattered books—your book case grows os your library grow*. The Y. B. sec tions build together one upon the other and end to end like bricks in a wall, until you have l housed your books from ^ floor to ceiling around the entire room. FOUR STYLES, SEVEN SIZES. The Y. & B. are made in four styles; (1) Plain Oak, (2) Quartered Oak, <3) Birch Mahogany, and (4) solid Mahogany—all bearing a superbly finished surface. The Solid Mahogany costs $10 per section; the others from $2.50 to $5.50 per section. There are seven sises, to accommodate the varying dimensions of books. PRICES. We can give yon an idea. Take the first illustration, and this is what it will cost In plain oak; Top $1.50, Base $1.50. Book Section $2.50; Total, $5.50. That’s a start. Yon can add another shelf for only $2.50 and -double your book space. Five shelves <$12,501 with base and top ($3.00) will make a pretty book-case in • deed with a shelf capacity of 160 inches. The section quoted is the smallest else, but it is amply large to hold a volume 8x9 inches— Ptetty big book, you see. Pot each jump in sise add 25 cents to Price of the one below! pnsrtered Oak and Birch Mahogany cost only 50 cents per section mere than the Plain Oak. The solid Mahogany, very rich and attractive, coate $10 to $13 per section. Come to aee the cimi in our store, and include a Motional home for your hooka among: your furniture plans. By the way, we have a catalogue with more illustration* and more par ticulars than we have room for here. A copy is yours tor the asking:. You can look qver it by the fireside in the quiet of your own home. It is a day of enlightenment: buy a sectional book case and buy the best from W. F. MARSHALL < COMPANY’S Gastonia Book Store. • . V \ . CLEVELAND RECOMMENDS TARIFF REfQRM ISSUE. Ob thli Battleground Us Predicts Democratic Ceagreasiooal Ob1b> Bad Ultimate Fatty Sac* COBS. New York, Oct. 14.—To a representative of the Evening Pott who asked him his views in regard to the outlook for and the duty of the Democracy in the approaching congressional elections, ex-Preaident Grover Cleveland said: It seems to me that if the Democracy is really iu earnest it caunot fail largely to increase its representation m the next Congress, bnt in order to do so I think that there must be a constant and stalwart insistence upon the things which are recognised by all to be true De mocratic doctrines. Of course, by far the most important of these is tariff reform. On this issue I am satisfied that the Democracy is face to face with a great opportunity. All the signs of the times point to recognition far beyond all party lines of the benefits which would accrue to the people by a readjustment of the tariff, and it would be worse than folly for the party nnder the stress of any temptation or yielding to any allurement to permit this to be subordinated to or overshadowed by any other issue. 1 he present restlessness in Republican circles on ' this subject often amounting to pro tests against Republican pro tective theories, should warn the Democracy of an impending danger. I mean by this the possibility that oar opponents may crowd ns from our position on this subject if we allow them to do so 4>y our lukewarmness and iudifference and to occupy our ground, just as we permitted them to crowd ns from the ground that belonged to ns on the question of sound money. I am very much pleased with the deliverance of the New York Democracy on the tariff issue, and it was fit and proper that the Empire State should sound the right note. It is my clear con viction that the best assurance of success for the Democracy in the next national campaign will be found in a sincere and un remitting insistence upon its old-time doctrine of a lair and beneficent tariff readjustment. The insistence should be from now on. It need hardly to be said that success will depend on the successful presentation of the .tariff doctrine, not only recognised as truly Democratic by those who may be termed veterans in the party, but ni«« commending itself to the hosts of the younger meu of dnr land. Thousands of th^pe await the opportunity to espouse a cause which most appeal to disinter ested love of country and which ia based upon thoughtful regard of all onr people and the safety of the institutions under which we live. To these young men no hope is offered for the realization of their patriotic aspirations except through the conscientious endeavors of the Democratic party. I am at a loss to understand by what process of reasoning the notion has gained a footing, in certain Democratic quarters, not only that no importance attaches to a Democratic ascendency in the next House of Represen tatives but even that it might be advantageoaa to party prospects in 1904 for it to continue in its present minority now. Political welfare might to be regarded as continuous and, if the results battled for are worth having at all, they are worthy of our best efforts at all times and under alt circumstances. Constant vigi lance and unrelenting attack are essential to victory. Armies are captured by first drivfog in tbe outposts. I cannot believe that th* bright prospects of the Democ racy in pie present campaign are to be marred by any Lack of bard work and strenuous fight ing. _ Aaetber OM Cola.

A DAY!IK THE oovemors orncE. Private Secretary Telia «l Same Carteaa Begaeste Made-205 Pardons Wanted bat Daly 64 Printed A reporter walked into the Governor’s office this morning and asked Mr. Pearsall, the pri vate secretary, what be was doing and, ii he had not objec tion, would be describe for in stance what was done in the office yesterday. He aaid: "1 will go over the stenographer’s letter book end tell you exactly what was done.” " First, there was an application filed for the position of Oyster Inspector and also one for a position on the Board of Public Charities, no vacancy existing in cither case. "Next General J, S. Carr, Hon. W. H. S. Bnrgwyn, Major Graham Daves and Capt. A. B. Strouach were appointed to represent the State at the nnveil ing of the Confederate monu ment in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, erected to the mem ory of the Confederate soldiers who ere buried in Philadelphia, the ceremony to take place on October 24th. aaomcT lulus', a man wanted the Governor to prevent . con jurer from bothering him any more. Another to make a law prohibiting the curing of leaf tobacco on Sunday. Another to suspend the operation of the Revenue Law and to permit him to peddle without license. Then we received two letters about registering, making foolish in quiries as to the same. "One man, and by the way quite a prominent man in the State, wants the Governor to officiate by performing the cere mony at nis approaching mar riage. This the Governor won Id be very glad to do, bat 1 do not think the statute permits it. Then another man wants the Governor to get him a good looking school teacher; still another desires the Governor to prevent a lumber company from editing the timber on his laud. "There were four letter* ask ing for financial aid. Three about rewards, four or five as to special terms of court; 8 or 9 as to pardons, and 10 or 12 others as to indifferent matters, and of which the Governor has nothing to do. "Every letter that conies to the office is answered, so yon will see that it keeps s person generally engaged all the while. In the above I am giying a list of the things that were done yc*crday. We have about the skme amount of work to do every day, but about all imaginary sorts of subjects. Ia other words, the work of yesterday warn about a sample of what is done every day. "Yon mentioned the fact that several letters were received about pardons. How many ap plication* for pardons have been made to Governor Aycock since the beginning of his administra tion?" "Two hundred and five ap plication* have been mode asking for pardon. He has pardoned 56 and commuted 8, 64 in alL Nine or ten of these, however, were on papers filed in former administrations, mak ing of those filed during Gover nor Aycock’s administration, 55 pardons and commutation*, and 150 of those filed refused or unacted on. So you see it is a very great error on the part of those who suppose the Governor pardons, practically everyone that applies for a pardon." Tamed a Bellfreg. SilltbuTtm. Mr. D. L. Arey’a young son, of about seven years, has ac complished an unusual feat in in taming a bullfrog. Several months since Mr. Arey went seining and caught several bullfrogs. He took them home and his little son, upon seeing them, determined to make a pet of a large frog. Tbe boy immediately set about culti vating friendship with the frog tad In a short while his frogship was on terms of the closest in timacy with his ■ little master. Now, the boy calls the frog and hs answers to any commend. He gives utterances to a par ticular order and tbe hog begins to croak. Another order causes the frog to Jump into a wagon in which little Arey takes hiifl for s drive each day.

Wcx5T^ Tbe demand for rural free de livery boxes continues steadily, and tbe number of patrons on all the York eonnty rentes is in creasing. The tendency of tbe cotton market during the past few days has been rather discouraging. A though there luu been bo time yet when first-class cotton would not bring 8 cents, a good many boles of inferior grades have sold ss low os 7X cents. What this country needs mare then anything else last now, is a wholesome, determined efiat at enforcing the laws. Lawbreak ing in high places has become entirely too common, and tbe entire country would welcome a change looking to reform. Tbe date of the chrysanthe mum contest to be given ander the auspices of tbe Ladies’ Floral Sp«ety of the Pint Presbyterian church has been Axed for Friday, October 31. In addition to the attractions offered by tbe exhib its, tbe ladies are arranging for tbe occasion us- entertainment that also promises to be quite a feature. A telephone message received here on Thursday morning from McAdenville, announced the critical illness of Mr. Peyton Wilkeraon. formerly of Yorkviile but now of McAoenvflle. Mr. Wilkeraon was here on a visit about ten days ago. He was stricken with paralysis on Friday of last week, and daring Wednes day night sustained a second stroke. Mr. Hash Wilkerson, bis son, left Thursday morning to be st bis bedside. Although the open season lor partridges docs not commence until November 1, common report has it that quite a number of gunners in this section have al ready been doing more or less shooting. Real sportsmen in dif ferent ports of the state are mak ing unusual effort to detect and punish violations of the game law; but so far as the reporter has information v no especial at tention is being paid to the mat ter in this county. Miss Norms Strauss died in New York city on Monday night. The sod news was received here Tuesday afternoon, through a telegram from Mr. H. C. Strauss who had been summoned to the bedside of his sister the day be fore. Miss Norms Strauss was the only daughter of the late Maurice Strauss, and was bora inCokesbnry.S. C., 47 years ago. She came to Yorkviile with the father’s death, a few years ago, when she took up her residence in Charleston. Mrs. R. J. Herndon baa recent ly received from her former home in Union, some interesting old family furniture which she has a right to prise very highly. It comes down to her through a distinguished colonial and Revo lutionary ancestry, Samuel and Joseph McJunkin. It consists of a centre-table, settee and stool all of walnut, and family history has it that it is s part of a salt mode for Ssmnel llcJankin by one of his slaves more *hn« 125 years ago.
