Where, Oh Where has That
Surplus Gone?
IN. Y. Herald.)

IN. Y. Herald.)
The available surplus in the Treas
ury reaches the munifcent sum of q
million and quarter. The govern,
ment at Washington seems to be
sailing pretty close to the wind.
In order to make even this poor
showing it is necessary to sweep up
all the small coin in the national
vaults. We are reminded Of the
man who made an inventory of his
possessions and counted the nickles
and coppers in his trousers pockets.
Uncle Sam, who smiled at the one
hundred millions in the Treasury
three years ago, is about as disgusted
an individual as can be found in
these parts. He hasn't very much
to be proud Of, it must be admitted.
However, the republicans have been
faithful to their pledges in this
matter, Dir. Frye, of Maine, speak.
ing in their mare, promised that if
the party should get another whack
at the Presidency they would make
the Treasury as empty as country
man on his first sea voyage. They
have kept their word religiously, and
here we are with the prospect Of
deficit in the near future.

WHY SHE COULD TRUST HIM

''ShG could trust him because be
used neither liquor nor tobacco, was
truthful, honest, and willing to work
hard. 7-SurGh K. Baton.
Such are words written of Ezra
Cornell, founder of the great Cornell
University ct Ithaca, New York, and
opened in 1868. They refer to the
parting of young Cornell with his
mother at the age Of eighteen when
he was starting out to make life for
himself. His frst work was cutting
timber, and BY doing his work faith.
fully and well he gradually rose
from one position of trust and use
fitness to another until he became
TO be wealthy and founded the great
university which still honors his
memory.
Boys leaving their mother and
starting life for themselves have
very poor conceptions of mothers
anxiety for them. If they would
have their mothers trust them and
hope for great things from them thew
could not take better course than
Cornell took-make their mothers
trust them because they use neither
liquor nor tobacco, are truthful
honest, and willing to work hard
Some one might suppose that to
be trothtul, honest, and willing to
work hard IS sufficient to make the
mother trust them for success. leay>
log out the liquor and tobacco part.
Being truthful and honest land
willing 20 work hard are good, and
good enough IS far they go; out they
do not 60 far enough.
If the boy uses liquor the mother
feels anxious about his morals: If
he uses tobacco she feels anxious
about his health.
Then to give the mother perfect
confidence n his future when he
leaves her, we would advise every
boy TO emulate CornelPs example,
case neither liquor nor tobacco be
truthful, honest, ard willing to work

THE MODERN HUSTLER.

Perhaps there has never been
such universal activity along every
line of industry IN the history OF
this Country. Business Of oil kinds
is pushed for all it is worth and men
everywhere are wing with each
other in their particular lines of
enterprise You can pay no more
pleasing compliment to many a
young man of the country than to
call him "a hustler" Men Ike the
idea of being considered wide awake
and in the forefront in the line for
progress. And 1t is quite proper
that they should feel so. An earnest
striving for superiority is to be
commended in any one. Every
man ought to seek to be himself all
the time, and his best self at that.
But is there not some danger Of
the boys and young men of the
country becoming too much en-
crossed with the idea of beng
considered "hustler" to the neglect
of some things of more Importance?
We fear that the young men of
the country who contemplate max
ing business their life work are
inclined to underestimate the i'm
portance of a thorough education
before entering upon business.
Many boys and young men have
either been taught to think, or have
learned to think themselves, that a
thorough education Is not neces
sary for the young man WHO is not
going to take some profession for
his life work. This is a great mis-
take. We know ayoung man in this
community with bright and vigor-
GUS intellect, whose father wished
to keep him in school until he should
take thorough course at college,
but the young man preferred to 60
to business. He thinks he knows
best, but if he does not change his
opinion he will see the mistake
when it is too late.
The revolution of thought that is
taking place all over this country
now, demands of every young man
something more than the ordinary
preparation in education.
Let young men see to 1t that they
are prepared TO grasp with some
measure of success the great ques-
lions that are now agitatlng and
will agitate the public men during
the coming twenty-five years.

NOT SIMPLY FOR FUN.

To be sure, there is fun in run
ming q newspaper. Yes, there IS real
fun in it. And more than that,
there is s mixture Of consciousness
Of doing good to others, furnishing
lnquiring minds with something
wholesome to read; mixture of
genuine pleasure and profit in ones
own personal development.
Bat TIE DEMOCRAT is not run
simply for the 1'un. We want and
expect pay for our work. Recently
we have Increased our expenses in
employing more labor, printing
on costly paper, and we find it draw
ing heavily on our resources. What
we started ont to say was this: If
you eve us for as much as one years
subscription We want you to pay it
this month.

THE OHIO CONTEST.

The republicans in Ohio nominal
ed Mckinley by acclamat ion. He
is the patron SAINT of protection, and
the fight between him and Campbell
for Governor of the "Buckeye State
will be OF the line of the tariff.
The Richmond Dispatch thinks
the contest will rot be unlike that of
Tilden which our people remember
we'll.
There is now no telling what the
result Of the contest will be, but to
say the laest of it, it will be a bitter
contest.
The tariff ls enc Of the burning
questions all over this land. Every
section of this great country is inter
ested in it. No class Of persons is
more interested than the laboring
classes.
When the laboring man pays two
prices for what he buys, it tells upon
his resources. And if the laborer s
Of this country can ever be convinc-
ed Of the great harm and disadvan-
tage the tariff works out for them
they will rise in one mighty force
aud put it down.
We believe that the Democratic
party can do no better service than
TO educate the masses on the tariff
question. There are other cues
tlons Of interest to farmers, to be
sure, but We believe none greater
than this.

WHY EDITOR CADE RESIGNED

1t has been we'll known for two
weeks or more that Rev. Baylus
Cade had resigned his position as
editor Of The Progressive Farmer.
A special from Raleigh to the Will
mlngton Messenger gives Mr.. Cade's
reasons for resIgning. They appear
in this weeks Progressive Farmer,
but as We 90 to press before receiv-
lng that paper, We print the special.
1t says: 1t now turns out that
the reason why Rev. Buylus Cade
resigned the position as editor Of
Col. Folks Alliance organ, the
Progressive Farmer, was that be
would not advocate the sub.treasury
bill. This is revealed by his edit
oyial farewell to-day, IN which be
says: "After a careful and patient
study Of the .ub-treasury bill | am
convinced that the enactment into a
law would be disastrous to the coun-
try, and especially so to the agricul~
tural interests. Holding this view
[ cannot write one word in favor Of
that bill. The dominant sentiment
of the Alliance upon this measure
is in irreconcilahle conflict with nv
views and the only manly and hons
orahIe course left for ne is 10 retire
and let some other editor take charge
whose views are in harmony with
ttose OF the friends of the snb-Treas-
nry bill. Business Manager Den>
mark, Of the Progressive Furmer,
stated to>day that Major Daify
would not take charge until July l8t.

Hon. David S. Reid Dead.

Hon. David S. Reid died at bis
homo in Reidssille, on Friday last,
June 10th, at the advanced age of
Is years. He was well known in
the state before the war and during
the war The News and Observer
of Sunday gives the following inter
esting sketch Of his life:
He was born April 10, 1918, in
Rockingham county, and was elected
to the Senate from that district in
1885. and served IN that body until
in 1912 he was transferred by his
constituents to tbs House Of Repre>
sentatlves at Washington. where he
served two terms. In 1913 be was
brought forward by his Democratic
friends for Governor in opposition
to Hon. Charles Manly, of Wake, but
was defeated.
Two years later, after he had de-
clineG to allow his name to be used
the Democrats again brought him
forward; and special delegation was
sent from Raleigh to urge his accep-
lance. He consented to make the
race and on the issue Of abolishing the
property qualification for suffrage
and extending the right of voting for
State Senators to all white freemen,
he won and was elected over his
former competitor This broke the
Wing power in the State and was
the beginning of Democratic domi
nation. Two years later, he was
again elected, and at the end of his
term he was transferred to the United
States Senate where be remained
until the war came on in 1861. He
was, in the Spring Of 1861, along
with Chief Justice Ruflin, MIR.
George Davis and others, sent as a
commissioner from North Carolina
to the Peace Congress of the States
held at Washington City to try and
settle the differences then agitating
the sections of the Union and secure
peace to the country. In that con-
Yentioh Gov, Reid urged pacific
measures unavailingly.
His only public service after the
war was as member of the Constr
tutlonal convention Of 1878, when be
was accorded the part Of chief adj
wiser Of his party. 1t was largely
through his advice and Instrument
tally together with the cooperation
Of Gov. Jarvis, that DR.. Ransom was
prevailed on to accept the Presidency
of the convention, giving the Demo
Gratis the cotrol of the body.
Gov. Reid was un der medium size
and men Of delicate frame. HIS
intellectual force far exceeded the
strength of his physical powers.
Some ten years ago he suffered
stroke Of paralysis and since then
his health has not been robust.
He was man Of very fue parts:
Of sound judgment and strong IN de-
bate. Bot he was still more highly
esteemed for bis sterling worth, his
exemplary course in life and purity
of character.

How About the Well?

The frequent rains call TO the
minds of ou- people the necessity
of pure water. All surface water
is more or less impreguated with
impurities, and an overflow OF water
from below the strata not penetra-
ted by the surface water would be
pnre.
An overflow we'll here, or mum
Der of them. would be very fine
advertisement for the town, To be
sure, We have as good water now as
there is almost anywhere III the
State, but If we could get purer and
better water it would he all the
better.
The editor of this paper is in
correspondence with persons IN
Virginia, and we hope to be able
IN a few days to make proposition
to the people of the town for an
Artesian well.
It's a matter in which all are
interested and we hope to see the
citizens of the town take an interest
in 1t. Something more than year
ago we made an effort for a well.
But we need not conclude that
because we did not reach the water
there is no water to be reached.
The machinery used was inadequate
to the work and when solid sub
stance was struck we had to stop.
Let's all hands to the work again
and have the well. A dozen men
can put little money and energy
together and have the we'll in short
order. What say you, gentlemen
Since the foregoing was put in type
we read the following in the wills
mington Messenger, which applies
so we'll to Scotland Neck we repro
duce ii:
"In Texas the people are resorting
to artesian wells to get their pure
water supply. This is wise and
prudential. Pure water is absolutely
essential for health. Mark that.
The New Orleans Pic0yune reports
that in Texas hundreds of artesian
wells have been sunk, and with the
very best results. Every where these
wells are being bored. Galveston
will soon dig one of the greatest SIZE
known. Dallas will soon move on
the same line. The Dallas Ne2CS
gives a good example in the expe-
rience of Col. H. r. Hearne, Brazos
bottom planter, q section where many
thought It somewhat difficult to
obtain artesian we'll water, Who sunk
twenty three wells on his place
ranging from $50 to 750 feet deep
and averaging $50 feet, all Of which
are flowing abundantly, yielding
from L., 600 to $4,000 gallons day.
Col. Hearne bought his own boring
Quilt, and the wells cost BIN only
from $50 to $500 apiece. SO sue
cessful has he been that ali his
neighbors are following his example.
Wilmington people should consider
this matter. Good drinking water
is IN great demand. 1t is within the
power of our taxpayers to have an
artesian well that shall meet every
demand and supply our people with
the best and purest drinking water.
What is dong, what has been done,
in other cities can be done here.
Where there is will there IS way.
Water for comfort and health IS
needed and the way to get 1t is to
bore for it. Where there is an
,rteslan we'll there is water"
