Nh. EDIToR:-What is all this DULL
doing about2 Is Hon. z. B. Vance
out of line with the Alliance men
elected to the General Assem- olyf
Do the anti Alliance papers propose
driving all the Alliance men into
voting for a United States Senator
when they are pledged in writing to
their (AlIiance) constituency that they
would only support men (good and
true) that would sign all the national
dem ands, and the SUP Treasury plan
in particular, in consideration Of the
support of the Alliance vote? Will
the tag end Of the Democratic party
propose to wag the whole dog? You
must remember that ninety thousand
Alliance men is what did the voting,
and a few good and true Democrats
voted with US. Now, brother, don't
claim the Office OF United States Sen
ator, for the Alliance men did the
work, and we hope you will let the
voting 20 on and not claim that you
did il. We want a Senator that is not
afraid of the devil, when he votes as
his constituency instructs, and who
will send their ms iructlons to the
courts for a judgment as to constltu
ton tlity,
The anti Alliance papers, | hope,
will take it easy, as we have been ad-
vised to organize, and as We are get.
ting in line and have made one bAttle
for the people and we do not extend
to give the antics what we fought for.
We fought manly all over the Union
for the peoples rights, and we in
North Carolina have pledged the
members to Congress and a handsome
majority in the General Assembly.
We want a United States Senator.
We have the men pledged; we elected
them on that pledge, and we expect
whoever may be the Senator that
he will give such pledge, or step
aside and let the "money show" go
on. You may rare, Democrats and
Republicans, the Alliance people have
got their country, and you may hold
still, we will get the Senator and
President at tle next election. Re
puOlicans, remember the Mckinley
bill, the Force bill and the general
distribution of the surplus:
For the information of the antics, [
will copy a resolution that passed the
Safe Alliance al Asheville last August
and was published in the papers of
the State. Resolution No. 8 read as
follows:
RESOLVED, That the plan known as
the Sub Treasury plan is now a natter
of vi al necessity to the agricuIturists
of this country, and that We hereby
register fhls Jul special demand that
some bill calculated to carry out this
measure be at once passed by Con
gress to the end thst the discrimina
ton against the farmer, now caused
by contract on in the fall, may be
stopped, and that they may be placed
IN an equal footing with other occu
patiOns.
Members to the General Assembly
signed that demand, and do you ex
pect them to s1uItlfy themselves, and
go back On the men who elected them?
They will not 60 back, but we will
see. Respectfully,

MOL the bidding the wealthy and proud to feast.
But ask OF the gospel-its pages have said
II is love &c the creatures your Maker has made;
And il in the heart the good tree taketh roo:

It's the answer that turns away anger and wrath;

IT'S the foot that treads softly the chamber of

And in every transaction that's open to view
It's TO act &c you'd wish Others acted TO you.

Art of the Tailnr.

''No two men, even Of exact height
and weight" said prominent New York
tailor the other day, can wear the sam,
clothes and be fitted. If the measurement
were exactly the same, which it never is
they couldn't do it. Why? Now, don't
know. But I have found it to he a fact
The measurement for a pair Of trousers
for instance, might be exactly the same
yet one man will have to be allowed from
one to three inches more length in the legs
than the other The man who is naturally
stOuJ or lat, and the man who has grown
fat late in life, may look and even measure
actually alike. but the same cut of cloth
will never fit both.
Herein lies The great art of tailoring.
The variations in the construction of the
human body are marvellous Now, the man
who just left-he is a minister of the gospel.
He must have clothes to fit him and fit his
business. His arm pits, shoulder blades
and arms do not correspond with those OF
any other man; nor does the right side cor.
respond with the left. He probably ges.
lures a good deal with his right hand. He
doesn't know that that arm is fully an inch
longer than the other. This structural
difference in men is more general than you
would imagine. NEW York Cor. Pitts

This was a period when the so called
"blue laws" were most vigorously en-
forced, not only in Connecticut, with
which tradition associates them, but in
Massachusetts,. In the former colony no
food or lodging could De given to Quaker,
Adarnite or other hereto. No one could
run on the Sabbath day or walk in his
garden or elsewhere, except reverently TO
and from meeting. No one could travel,
cook victUals, make beds, sweep house, cut
hair or shave ON the Sabbath day. No
woman could kiss her child on Sabbath or
fasting day. Whoever brought cards into
the colony paid fine of rs
No one could read the Book of Common
Prayer, keep Christmas or saints days,
make minced pies, dance, play cards or
play Oh any instrument of music except
the trumpet, drum or jewsharp. Liquor
drinking was regulated, and the use of to-
bacco was tinkered necessarily. No one IN
der twenty-one years, nor any one not pre-
viously accustomed to it, could take tobacco
without physicians certificate. No one
could take it publicly in the street or in the
fields or woods, except on Il journey of ten
miles. Nor could any one take it in any
house in his own town with more than one
other person taking it at the same time
This last injunction was leveled at the so
called tobacco parliaments." About 1915
the Massachusetts magistrates were great

Queer Names of Firms.

''Did you ever notice the names of bust
ness firms ON their signs as you walk along
the street." remarked n man yesterday
with an observant turn of mind "On the
principle that present company is always

business firms in Pittsburg But what do
you think of this for combination:
"a few days ago was in neighboring
town, when was attracted by this sign,
Love Sunshine & Co. The two should
go together, hut whether in this case the
partners loved each other. and in conse-
quence there was much sunshine, didn't
stop TO inquire. 1t struck me as peculiar,
and couldn't help stopping and looking
at it.
"Such names, combined as they are,
ought to make men famous in spite of the
saw that there is nothing in a name any
how. Irish & English was another name
that caught me. just at this time, when
these two classes have no particular love
for each other, the association of the names
resembles the lying down of the lion and
the lamb. Hereafter look at the names
that compose partnerships, and you will
frequently be amused. "-Pittsbur Dis

Did you ever hear of catching par

business man to friend in Broadway. 81
never did myself until recently. 4 party
of rs were up above Three Rivers, Canada,
surveying a tract of wild land, and one day
after a long tramp we came to the top of a
mountain where we scared up whole lot
of partridges. They were those little black
Canadian fellows, You know-smaller than
ours-and were so tame that a man could
almost catch them with his hands. No
one of us had thought it worth while to
bring along gun from the camp.
"Our guide, a 'Canuck,' proved equal to
the emergency, however. Whistle and
watch me catch him. said he TO one of the
party. He then went and cut a stout pole
about twelve feet long. while the Other
continued TO whistle. The birds cooked
their heads first on one side and then on
the other in a way to make us laugh, but
they stood stll and faced the music,
while the guide stole up unnoticed and
WIS thus enabled to kin three fine ones
with his pole before the rest took to fight"

WHERE THE DANGER LIES
The Mysterious and Sudden Ending of So
Many Lives Fully Accounted For.

The Mysterious and Sudden Ending of So
Many Lives Fully Accounted For.
The real danger from "Grippe" is in its after
effects. Nine-tenths of all deaths resulting are
from pneumonia What is pneumonia? 1t is
sudden stoppage and filling up of the lungs.
Thick, heavy poisonous mucous gets into the
air-cells and prevents breathing. They clog up
quickly and death ensues. The only salvation
is to keep the lungs working and thus throw off
this terrible mucous. There is only one way in
which this can be done and that is by stimulat-
ing them. Under the influence of proper
amount of pure whiskey. the lungs draw in deep,
full breaths and throw out the poisonous air,
each time it is exhaled.
But while this is true and whiskey has saved
more lives than any other known remedy if it
is not pure whiskey, 1t is liable to have a bad
effect. If it contains fusel oil. a headache or a
foul tongue will be the result. On the other
hand, when an absolutely pure whiskey like
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is used no i'll effects
can by any possibility follow. Prof Henry A.
Mott says: 'The purity of Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, (as simple analytical tests will read
lily convince) is absolute and should recommend
it to the highest public favor" To ALL we un-
hesitatingly say, insist upon having Duffy's
and do not be persuaded to take any other.
