"a prominent Republican, who
was y nominee on the State ticket
last put up by that party, tells your

among the Popullsts aud Republl-
cans are planning a platform with
only two planks-a Tree ballot and
fair count and plenty of money.
This is what the fusiun,sts are
talking about. BY aud by much

PLAN IN TIME

Farmers will soon finish their
croDs and then they vii! Lave a
breathing spell. While they take a
little rest they will do we'll to lay
plane for the next crop, especially
that part Of 1t that requires fall
planting.
In this connection THE DEMOCRAT
would make the suggestion it has
made many times before, that fare
mers would do we'll to raise wheat
for their own use. We hope to see
in the neat future every farmer
raising his own supplies az far as
he can. For years we have urged
the farmers Of the country to maze
themselves independent by raising
all they consume at bone as near.
" as possible. This Is the fret step
towards real independence and is
the first part Of the compound that
Will give remedy aud cure for the
"hard times
Now and then some one says we
do not know what We are talking
about; but as often as you fnd q
farmer who raises his home sup.
plies as we have been suggesting for
years, you will find a man who is
not so badly pushed after all.
When the farmers all try it for five
years and find that the sy stem is a
failure then we Will let up and adj
vocate "sOmething better" If we
can find IT,

Among the Charlotte people who
w-nt down on the Charlestol excur.

the city by the sea, the two won't out
on prospecting tour. They had
not gone very far before they ran up
on the headquarters of the Charles~
ton fire department. They at once
became interested and without much
hesitation walked in. They were
met at the door BY Sergeant Shep>
pard, of the fire department. The
Charlotte gentlemen told where they
we're from and asked to be shown
through the building. The Cbarles>
ton official said certainly and asked
that they wait a few mlnutes until
an officer came and he would gladly
go through the building aud explain
everything. While waiting for the
officer to arrive, Sheriff Cooper and
Squire Sewers strolled out Of the
main Office into hall way, and
stood uear door in the rear OF the
building, looking about them to see
what was to he seen. The officer
who bad been sent tor to act "a guide

much for the gentlemen from Char

Ruef's Affidavit Filed

At the request of Superior Judge Heb
bard Attorney Ruef yesterday filed his
affidavit on which Attorney Robert Harri-
son is to be cited for contempt of court.
The trouble arose out of the insolvency
proceedings against the Pacific Bank. in
which Harrison pushed the proce edings
before Judge Levy in defiance of an in
junction made by Judge Hebbard staying
all proceedings. The affidavit merely sets
forth that Ruef was present at the time
ana that the reporters transcript Of what
took place, on which Harrison is to be
charged, is substantially correct so far as
atlantis memory serves him.

A FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE.
Lee Doom, the Murderer, Growing
Desperate.
The Doomed Chinaman Makes &
Savage Attack on One of the
Death Watch.

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 25.-Sheriff Harri-
son has his hands full at present. Lee
Doom. the murderer of William Shenton,
is to be executed here next Friday,
provided the condemned does not take the
law into his own hands.
Lee Doom has, since his imprisonment
some two and half years ago, been a
model prisoner, but apparently as the time
for his execution approaches he gets more
troublesome. This morning he almost
killed one of the death watch. The story
is best told by Deputy Sheriff John Lucas.
He says:
Il was reading at the window in the cell
with Lee Doom. About 6 A. NJ. he rose in
his bunk and said 'A.h there! still con-
tinued reading. when Doom got up from
his bunk. approached me and grasped at
my throat. AS he did so he exclaimed,
why does your son-in-law not give me
whisky% lucas is Harrison's father-in-
law. L grasped his queue and commenced
what ] thought was a fight for my life.
Doom commenced to scratch my face. |
used all my strength to throw him to the
floor. but it was of no avail. Finally we
both fell, he on top. Immediately the
door of the cell was opened and several
deputies came to my rescue"
A double watch has been placed on
Doom,
