BUTMY WORD SHALL NOT PASS AWAY

A single hearted, simple man
Stood by a river side,
And waited that the rolling flood
Might pour away its tide.
An eager hearted, earnest child,
Knelt by the stream of truth.
And wondered how that stream had run.
Since time was in its youth.
The river rolled and wasted not;
The traveller turned aside;
The child became a thoughtful man,
And still he knelt and died.
Tis past, and where the billow broke,
a field is green with sod,
Yet still that silent stream Of truth
Is flowing forth from God.

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

A Correspondent asks us the following question !:
How do the Democrats of your District relish the
" Proclamation of Mr. Benz Cook, of Washington
City? Who is Mr.. Cooke"
We inform our friend that Mr. Cook is or was Clerk
of Granville Superior Court and has for year or
two been in Washington City, acting Clerk in
some capacity or other; and it is said Mr. Venable
procured him his post. AS to how our Democratic
brethren relish his Proclamation" we know not
only they think he rather too active in his eff
forts to prevent Convention and to get Mr. Venable
out for Congress. Such imprudent friends do Mr.. v
real lasting service, though if they had the in
uence they would surely disorganize and overreach
the Democratic party. Mr.. Cooks feelings are no
doubt very strong, but he should remember that 9TH

that Wake County will give Mr.. Lewis decided ~.

TO ADVERTISERS

Persons who may wish to advertise will find the
Standard valuable medium for the purpose. Our
paper goes to all the towns and counties in the State
and is read by all classes and professions in life.
The Standard is, believe, the only paper in the
State which contains patent medicine advertise
ments. We have uniformly declined, for some time
past to insert such advertisements at less than
regular rates; and there are some of them which
should not for any consideration, have place in
columns
1t is useless to enlarge upon the benefits of adver
Using. They are known to all business men.

- Mr.. Venable talks about our L" log-cabinism -
in 1910. Where was the gentleman when Gen.
jackson declared that the Union must and shall be
preserved y? Was he not against him? Where was
he when the Democrats of the country came out a.
gainst the "pet Banks " and for the Sub Treasury
Was not Mr.. Venable opposed to the latter? No
"qsei66ling," Mr.. Venable but frank confession
that the present is not the first time you have taken
position against the Democratic party
This slang about our "log-cabinism " is of Wing
manufacture and Mr.. Venable is welcome to the use
of it. We can smile at all such stuff as that 1t
only serves to show the desperation to which Mr.
Venable has been driven by his own disorganizing
and selfish conduct.
Mr.. Venable, we understand, says there is an odor
of turpentine upon garments, which we caught
in the log-cabin days of 1910. Pretty good-but
the gentleman has got to lower pitch than that
he is actually pie-ing away into the depths of pot
ical defeat and obscurity. We sympathize with him.
and regret that he is not more tGIkotiue than he
really is.

We are gratifed to know, whatever may be the
feeling in portions of this District that the entire
press of the State with the exception of the Free
Press, Wilmington, concurs with in our course in
relation to the Public Lands, Cuba, and Mr. Vena.
BILE. The last Halifax Republican says:
Hon. A w. VENABLE. This old Democratic "War.
horse" has flew the track on the Public Lands;
and we would advise the Democracy of the District
to withdraw him from the " turf" We regret that
Mr. Venable occupies the position he does upon the
subject of the Public Lands because it throws him
in opposition to the party to which he processes to
belong.
P. S.-Since writing the above we have received
the Raleigh Standard, and are much grathed to see
that Mr.. Holden, its able and fearless Editor, has
come out against Mr.. Venable and in favor of Mr..
Lewis. Mr.. Lewis sustains all the principles Of his
party, and should receive their united support"
The Goldsborough Republican and Patriot says:
" THE GIRAFFE. Weregret to see that the GirqtS
professedly neutral paper has stepped aside from
its obligations to the public, and become disorgan
izer, by openly and presumptuously espousing the
cause of A. W. Venable. Mr.. Venable occupies the
Wing ground on the distribution question in the 4th
District, in opposition to the well known and long
cherished principles of the Democratic party and
pecially in opposition to the ayowed policy of the
present Administration. We think if the Giraffe
had been governed by the dictates of duty it would
have left this question where it legtmately belongs
lin the hands of the political papers of the District
1t has proper to do otherwise, and to entange
itself in political questions boldly espousing the side
of disorder and Reorganization. We regret it but

he processes to be opposed think it is no longer
the duty of his party to support him. There are
