N political association as In personal
life and as no longer embodying the
nsnirations of the American people or
INVITING the confidence of enlightened,
impressive patriotism. Their protest
aPgainst the admission of moral issues
into politics is a confession of their
own moral degeneracy. The declara-
zion of an eminent authority that mu-
nicipal misrule is the one conspicuous
failure of American politics, follows as
q natural course of such degeneracy,
and is true alike of cities under Repub-
Tcan and Democratic politics.
1.-THE tariff issue, as represented in
the Democratic Mills bill and the Re-
nublican Mckinley bill, is no longer
treated by them as an issue upon great
and divergent principles of govern
ment, but as a mere catering to differ
emit sectional and class interests. The
attempt in many States to wrest the
Australian ballot system from its true
purpose and to so deform it as to rem
der itextremely difficult for new parties
to exercise the rights of suffrage is an
outrage upon popular government.
The competition of both the parties
for the vote of the liquor power and
subserviency to the money power has
resulted in placing these powers In the
position of practical a~rbitrators of the
destinies Of the nation. We renew our
protest against these perilous tenden-
cies, and invite all citizens to Join us
in the upbuilding of a party that has
shown in five national campaigns that
it prefers temporary defeat to an aban-
donment of the claims of justice So
briefly, personal rights and the protec
ton of American homes"
Recognizing and declaring that the
prohibition of the liquor traffic has be-
come the dominant issue in national
politics, we invite to full party fellow
ship all those who, on this one domi-
nant issue, are with us agreed, in the
full belief that this party can and will
remove sectional differences and pro-
mote national unity and insure the
best welfare of our entire land"

A YOUNG MANS N

A mother who now sends out a son
into the business world launches him
at a time when the chances are all in
favor of a young man, writes Edward
W. Box in "At Home with the Editor"
in the October Ladies' Home journal.
Business men were never more willing
to place large trusts upon the shout
ders of young men than they are to-
day. Young blood, " as it is called,
is the life of the modern business
world, and is everywhere sought. In
New York the demand for the right
kind of young men In all capacities is
far greater than the supply, and what
is true Of New York is true of all the
large cities. Bear in mind, however,
say the right kind of young men, and
by that classification I mean young
men who are willing to work, and
work hard. The day of the young man
who works by the clock, eagerly watch
ing for the hour when the Office shall
close, has gone by, ever if it eve ex-
lsted. Hundreds of young men r
energetic in . new position until its
novelty wears off and then become
mere machines whose places can be
filed at a days notice.
No mother need have undue anxiety
for the success of a son who this
autumn or winter steps out into the
business world, SO long as he bears in
mini a few essential points.
He must be honest above all things,
and allow nothing to convince him
that there is a compromise between
honesty and dishonesty.
He must be an out and out believer
in the homely but forcible sayiag that
a man cannot drink whiskey AID be in
business.

WARMERS CROP BULLETIN.
Some Marked Changes Since the Last
One Came Out-Other Matters.
SANDFRsYILLE. IN, @.

SANDERSVILLE, N, &.
There has been some marked changes
in the political atmosphere this week.
More candidates are now in the field
and the weather has changed to &C
commodate them. On account of my
last bulletin the executive committee
thought cool weather essential to save
their candidates. l find that their
tongues are still coated and they are
wearing overcoats as they go around
humbugging the people.
Reports from the central district in
dictate a good crop of candidates at
low prices; fever high and promises
umerou The rainfall has been below
the normal and the prayers more a
nest. Office holders and those want
ing Office are in a majority. Several
correspondents report blacksliders re-
claimed and many others sliding back
wards.
In the eastern district it is reported
that one candidate has been arret ted
for cussing, but one correspondent
says he was praying and the weather
prOgnosticators didn't know the differ
ence. Peanuts and cotton are open
ing rapidly, the cotton from the eff
fects of the sun. peanuts by means of
the peoples teeth. Corn is pretty
good and candidates all fond of it
when stewed; fishing good on the
coast. A sea serpent three miles long
was seen near Beaufort.
In the Piedmont district, including
Rowan, candidates are pretty thick
politics red hot turnips and moonshine
distiIleries in full blast, especially in
Davie and Wilkes. New brandy is
beginning to get in it's work and black
eyes are worn by members of all
parties.
Western district is all right. Two
candidates to each voter, and still they
come. Brandy d~istilleries all ia run
ming order and no revenue officers in
vited; several candidates are running
for fun, others for money. The pros,
pect for winter apples Is pretty good;
snakes are hunting their dens and
bears are turning over for a fresh nap;
rainfall 4.O1; wind blowing first one
way and then another; plenty of
horses and cattle, but no money to
buy them with; either eye can be
worn tied up in a rag with poultice.
From all correspondents I learn that
the outlook is good and getting bet
ter. Many candidates will not be
elected, but it will be because the PEG
pie do not want them. There is a dis
position on the part of many voters to
vote as they please, but they are afraid
to. No man ought to do as he pleases.
Consult your wife and then do what
she says. My old lady has often told
me that, and I never fail to take her
advice, whether I want to or not.

Heroic Conduct of a Tall, Graceful Girl at
the Supreme Test Of Love.

Heroic Conduct of a Tall, Graceful Girl at
the Supreme Test Of Love.
Two tall, graceful girls strolled slowly
along the beach earnestly c~onversing.
They were conspicuous in the throng,
and many an admiring glance was
turned toward them as they sauntered
to and fro. A cloudless sky was re-
hected in the calm waters below,
while scarcely a breath of air was
stirring.
The girl in the pure white blazer vas
doing most of the talking.
ct is all very well" she was saying,
" to insist that you would die for the
man you love, but the sacrifice is quite
another thing"
The girl with the blue yachting cap
shrugged her shoulders.
"You speak," she observed, like
one who had made the sacrifice"
81 have the right so to speak"
Affecting -recollections poured tu-
multuously over the soul of the girl in
the white blazer. Her lips trembled
and the superb eyes bent upon the
sand of the beach glistened with the
dew Of gathering tears.
The girl in the blue cap smiled
haughtily.
Indeed" she s~arcastically retorted,
show very interesting! And how does
it feel to actually die for the man you
love9"
Reproachfully the girl in the white
blazer directed her gaze upon the girl
with the blue yachting cap.
"You shall not make light of it"
"Fogive me-"
For a time they walked In silence.
Both were deeply affected, the one
filed with remembrances of the past
the other her resentment gone, with
womanIy sympathy.
TELL me about it, Ethel"
The girl in the blue yachting cap was
tenderly persuasive.
"It was worse than dying for him,
Clara"
With a quick movement the tears
were dashed from the superb eyes, and
the girl with the white blazer faced her
companion.
ct was at Easter, Clara. You re
member the dear, bright fellow I was
engaged to then. One evening but a
short while before he said he did not

sacrifice I would not make for his sake.
With an insight into feminine char
acter which was Mephistophelian in
it's subtlety, he dared me to do that
which causes every woman's heart to
rec5il with horror. But I did it,"
They had paused in their walk, and
were looking at each other fxedly.

"Yes, Clara, I did it. I went t,

ALL TRAINS DELAYED
Llndslides ard VEhouts on Railroads
Of The Northwest.
BY ROUNDABOUT ROUTES
Malls and Passengers For the East
Sent Over the Union Pacific
-Construction Work
Stopped.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 2l.--Not since
the winter Of 1889 havo the railroads OF the
Northwest experienced such difficulties
on account Of washouts and landslidcs.
The Northern Pacific has probably suf-
fercd more severely than any other line.
Since Thursday night no trains have
passed over the main line to the East, but
mails and passengers have been sent over
the Union Pacific from wallula by way OF
Portland. A dispatch from General Man.
ager Dickinson Of the Northern Pacific
this afternoon states that tho bridges have
all been repaired on the main line and
that trains will be run on schedule time.
The Great Northern has had trouble
north of Seattle, on the coast line. The
heavy rains havc raised all streams until
many are raging torrents carrying bridges,
logs and debris before them. Only 30
miles OF the Great Northern remained to
be bailt to complete the connection with
the East, but heavy storms have destroyed
much OF the grade and construction has
been suspended.
A landslide on tho Union Pacific blocks
all through trains, but the company has
boats at hand with which to mako tho
transfer of passengers and mails. Gen.
eral Superintendent Baxter of the Union
Pacific said this landslide was something
enormous, that tho entire mountain side
appears TO bo sliding into tho Columbia
river.

annual report Of the commissioner Of pen

that the amount that will be required for

amount. 1t Is now thought TINT congress
