Mr.. Oscar J. Spears, Repbli-

seeing and hearing Of the false
rumor of my withdrawal from

fight to the finish. and in to win,
too.
A convention Of my party
nominated me, in Clinton, n. c..
August 22nd, last. l am true and
enthusiastic Republican of the
stalwart stripe. [ am making a
campaign for protection to
American industries. 'Tis prin-
ciple with me. not the foolhardy
policy Of temporary success. No
man or set Of men can or shall
pull me out Of the campaign or

GRANTS MISREPRESENTA-
TIONS.
He is Taken to Task by Hon. B. F.
Grady as to his Tariff Argu-
ment and ErrOrS.

Editor Al'gas: If Major Grants
speech at Warsaw on Tuesday
was a fair sample of the speeches
he has been delivering inWayne,
| think justice to the cause of
truth requires that those who
have heard him should know
how he has misrepresented his
tory so far as the tariff is con-
cerned.
He went into a history of tariff
legislation, and read an extract
from ''Benton's Thirty Years
View to show how Benton said
that free trade as a reduction of
tariff rates always leads to dis
tress, panics, etc. [ shall not
undertake to follow him through
his history, but contine myself
TO three propositions which |
state in order:
1. Our first tariff was for pro-
lection and was signed by George
Washington on July 4, 1889.
2. Protection under this act
continued until 1916 when the
Democrats having beaten the
Wings in the elections, reduced
the tariff aud put the business of
the country on nearly a free
trade basis; and Benton said that
''the result was that business
came to stand still, distress
came all over the country" &c,
&c,
Now here is the truth:
/. The rates under the first
tariff act will not average more
than s per cent. On ready made
clothing . per cent. was the
rate, and it was the same on
hats, on cut, rolled on hammered
iron, on saddles, and on many
other articles: on a few 10 per
cent. was levied; while on wool
and long list of other articles,
including cotton goods, not a
cent was levied. And this Maj.
Grant calls protection.
>. In 1916 the Tariff act passed
was called by the free traders
"Calhoun's protective tariff, "
and Benton says, (Vol. [, p. 80
The question of protection for
the sake of protection was
brought forward, and carried in
the year 1916" On ready made
clothing 30 per cent. was levied,
and it was the same on hats, on
rolled or hammered iron and on
many other articles, the average
being two or three times what it
was under the first tariff.
The distress depicted by Ben
ton Vol. l, p. 81 was not
charged to Calhoun's free trade
tariff. Here is his language;
The Bank of the United States
Was chartered in 1916, and be
fore 1920 had performed one OF
| its cycles Of delusive and bubble
prosperity, followed by actua
and Widespread calamity.
No price for property or pro
| duce. No sales but those of the
| sheriff and the marshal" "
Major Grant, l presume, COPIED
the paper he read to US from
Benton's book. If he did, wha
will be thought of his method:
, by the good, honest, patriotic
lpeople of this Senatorial Dis
trict whom he is asking to vote
for him? He told us at Magnoli;
yesterday, tnat if elected, h
proposed to join the People
party in electing the man o
] their choice for U. S. Senator
: they would join linn in electing
Republican to the U. S. Senate

A Vile Caricature.

Editor 4l'gus:
[ was told to-day by a Demo
crat and by a Republican fusion
ist, both of whom were IN com
pany on the scene and heard him,
that A. T. Grady, of this city, on
the stump at Dudley Tuesday, re
sorted to the most coarse and
vulgar illustration of what the
Third party is-and actually
thought he was funny and MAX
ing "a hit" Grady is a Populist
and is ''rooter' in this cam
paign for the success Of that
party. His associates should
have him repeat his illustration
on every stump in the county
and should have him repeat it IN
the by ways. 1t is too vile for
barely reference in print, but
it illustrates the low. filthy and
disreputable code Of morals that
guides that party in its tendency
and rapid progress towards an
archy and communism.

sIimicry of the Spider.

\ southern man gives the following account Of his discovery of chameleon spider: One afternoon, while tramping along dusty road. l noticed ill tkc, bushes which grew along the side what appeared to be a singular looking white flower, with q blue center. Stopping to examine it, found to my aStonishment that it was not flower at all, but a spiders web. and that the supposed light blue heart of the flower was the spider itself, lying i'll wait for its prey. The mottlcd brown legs of the spider were extended ill such a way as to resemble the divisions between the petals of a flower.
 The web itself, very delicately woven into rosette pattern, was white, and the threads that suspended it from the bushes were so fine as to be almost in- visible. The whole thing had the ap- pearance of being suspended in the air upon a stem concealed beneath. Upon krocking the spider from his perch into the white gauge net which carried my surprise was greatly increased upon sec ing my captive instantly turn in color from blue to white. I shook the net, and again the spider changed color, this time its body becoming a dull greenish brown. As often as I would shake the net just so often would the spider change its color and kept it uI ] until it had assumed about every hue of the rainbow. .'-Philadelphia Ledger.

A PALACE AT PUEBLO.
WHERE COLORADO DISPLAYS sPEcE MEMS OF HER MINERAL WEALTH.
Magnificent Museum of n Million Dol. lars Worth of ores-The Statue of old King CoaI-An Organ In Lead and Cop. per-A Unique Resort.
rspecial Corrcspondcnce.l

PUEBLO, Colo, Oct. 22.-The tourist approaching Pueblo notes n building of striking architectural beauty rising from the boundleSs mesa near the city. Seen through the haZy mists of sunrise, the pur- pie and gold of sunset or the pale glcam of moonlight, the great building looms up like bit of Egyptian art, massive and superb in its grand proportions and grace of finish. This Is the famous Mineral pal ace of Colorado, built to enable the world to learn something of tho incalculable wealth of this marvellous state.
 Colorado produces one half of the silver of America. She leads all other states in lead mining is an enormous producer oi gold, copper, iron, zinc and almost every known mineral of value. Her granite and marble quarrics cxCcGd in extent and va riety those of any other state. She has more acres of anthracite, bituminous and cOking coal than Pennsylvania. She has the largest yield of oil west of the Missis, sippi. These varied and limitiess resources lie contiguous and tributary to Pueblo, with a down hill haul reached hy many railroads.
 This magnificent museum, the rcccpta- clc of mineral specimens from every coun- ty in Colorado. was OpCnCd to tho public on July I, 1891. IL was a fitting thought to select the nations birthday as the Gcdi- NiAAbil bA AAAS ANAAiIf bl tht country choicest products.
 The palace cost $1ao, GOO. the whole oi this sum being spent in the structure alone. The interior displays arc valued at $l,0OO. Quo, all Colorado ores being donated by mine owners To the institution. The building is of nodCrniZCd Egyptian archi- lecture, Is 90 fcUt high. 2jO feet long, cx- tending east and west, by II5 feet wide, north and south.

HOW BULLETS ARE CAUGHT.
One of the Most MyStiTyinE CoRjnrinG
 Tricks Neatly ENpIainch.


 Tricks Neatly Explained.
 Speaking of the bullet catching trick in particular. Professor r. D. Hcwcs, who k also q dealer in the art mystic. said:
 There are literally tut few tricks il magic. The sn Callyi rtw ones present ed to the public from time to time hy our leading magivianS, conjurers oi whatever they call th, mSclv"S, arc sim ply the revival ct "Onc old experiments clothed in ncw form. The catching oi bullets is not by any means a new trick, for il is almost as old as magic itself. ] remember seeing the old 'Fakir of Ava perform the same trick, only ill n differ ent manner, when I was small boy. The catching of the bullet is easily ex plaincd. In the first place, to accomplish it the cunjurer must procure an old style caplock, smooth bore musket, some DOW. der. caps and leadcn bullet. All these must be perfectly free from any decep tion. Now We come to the ramrod Therein lies the whole mystery of the trick. It is constructed with smal! metallic tube closed at one end and sC arranged as to become detached from the CflU or tnc faInTuu at VIII.
 Having explained the construction of all the appliances, We will now pro coed to do the trick. The gun, bullet, powder and caps are freely given foi examination. The performer requests some one to put the charge of powder into the gun. Next he inserts a small piece of paper and rams it down. and hy a twist of the ramrOd to the left the small metal tube is dislOdged from the point and remains within the gun bar rel. Now the bullet is marked and placed in the gun by one of the audi ence; again the professor rams it down. Now, by n contrary twist, the metal tube becomes fast to the ramrod so that in withdrawing it the bullet is re moved
 The performer now palms the mark cd bullet and all that remains to do il to 20 through .he motions of catching it when the gun is discharged. and thu spectators are thoroughly mystified You see, it is all very simple when yoI know how. "--BOstun Post. The Gran's nHy Land T.. California

How to Read.

We cannot toe strongly impress every daughter with the fact that habits of reading are wonderfully powerful Early learn to read only good books, and read them critically and thought fully. The purpose for which we read a book must-nOt be mere pleasure. We must aim to obtain and retain the au- thor's thought and meaning. Few good books do not have some particular ques- tion upon which they dwell strongly. A few well directed questions from fla ther, mother or brother will help to bring this to light, and in addition will enforce the fact that an opinion of one's own is of more value than a dozen that were begged, borrowed or stolen from some eminent man or woman. Many people regret that they were not early taught to consider the authors name a portion of the title of his book and are continually remarking, "Oh, can't re- member who wrote that book.
