LABOR'S INTERESTS
Yesterdays Meeting Of the Tri-
City Labor Congress.
REV. NORGAN's SPEECH DENOUNCED

Made Political Address for One that
Should Have Dweit on Labor Interests
The Proposed New Paper-Cther Mat
ters
The Tri-City Labor congress held
it's regular monthly meeting at Hill
lier's hall yesterday afternoon. 1t
being the first session Of the congress
since Labor day. number of the
events of the occasion were brought
up and discussed. The committee
on speakers was soundly scored for
engaging Rev. A. Il. Morgan, of
Joliet, as one OF the speakers. 1t
will be remem bered that Mr.. Morgan
took advantage of the opportunity to
address the laboring people on their
holiday to deliver a political address,
which he devoted chiefly to an argu-
ment in favor of protection. The
speech occasioned some comment at
the time and he was roupdly criticized
and condemned for dragging politics
into such an occasion. All this re-
suited in the Labor congress taking
1T up yesterday and taking the action
noted.

STA TIE AND COUNTY INTER
ESTS.

A great deal of the speaking and |
writing which has been done for this
campaign has been directed to national
issues. To be sure, national questions
are worthy our thought and efforts !;
but lust at this time the Democratic
party in North Carolina would do well
to pay close attention to- State and
county issues.
There is much at stake in North
Carolina this wear. To lose the Legis-
lature means Republico-P opullst repre-
scntation in the United States Senate.
To lose the Legislature means that the
State may possibly lose the present
county government system. TO lose
the LEGISLATURE means change from
wise and safe government, already firm
lv and successfully established, for an
experiment to be tried by Republlco-
populist prejudices which will almost
certainly plunge the State into con
fusion from which it might not be
freed IN many years to come.
TIE lose the State to the Democratic
party means all this and much more.
Citizens Patriots. Lovers OF the
GOOD and economical State and county
government which you, as Democrats,
| have ]abored long to have established
let not these dearly purchased blessings
slip away from you by reason of apathy
or indifference to your best and highest
interests. In vain do those who advO-
cate the claims of the Popullsts or
/ plead tor fusion tell us that they have
no eye upon a change of State or co';n-
ty government. Many honest, we'll
meaning citizens who now claim to be
Populists are wofully misled by their
: willy leaders. These pure-minded citl-
zens think that there would be no tinl-
ering with our good State and county
government if fusion should get cen
troll of the Legislature but they are
deceived. 1t is the ayowed purpose Of
the Fusionist leaders to down the Dem
ocratic party at any cost. Trust them
not Pure Democracy is the only safe
government for North Carolina.

POISONED BY SCROFULA

Is the sad story OF many lives made
miserable through no fault OF their
own. Scrofula is more especially than
any other hereditary disease and for
this simple reason Arising from I'M
pure and insufficient blood. the disease
locates itself in the lymphatics, which
are composed of white tissues there is
a period of foetal life when the whole
body consists OF white tissues, and
therefore the unborn child is especially
susceptible to this dreadful disease.
But there is a remedy tor scrofula,
whether hereditary Or acquired. It is
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by it's pow
erful effect on the blood, expels all
trace of the disease and gives to the
vital fluid the quality and color OF
health If you decide to take Hood $
Sarsaparilla do not accept any substi-
tute.

share towards entertaining the 4 seocia-

contributed mi UGH 10 the entertainment,
which the Baptists of the town and the
Association highly appreciate.
The Methodists kindly offered the
use OF their church to the body while
it was in session, and the courtesy was
gratefully accepted.
Mr.. f. w. Timberlake on Saturday
offered a resolution OF thanks to the
people Of Scotland Neck for their boun-
teous hospitality of the body, and also
to such railroads as gave reduced rates
- passengers to and from the meeting.
On Sunday morning three deacons
we're ordained for service in the Baptist
church, Messrs. c. F. Hancock, S. w.
Morrisette and r. c. Josey. The pres
bvtery for the ordination consisted OF
Re-. DR.. John Mitchell, Reys. j. K.
FAINT and J. w. Sledge. Mr.. FAINT de-
livered the charge, DR.. Mitchell offered
PRAYER and the whole presbytery laid
hands on the deacOns.
The personnel of the Association was
fine. The ministers were men of abili-
| tv and the delegates were men OF busl-
ness turn and great liberality.
1t was pronounced the most success
full meeting the body has ever held.
There was not jar or a word OF dis
cord throughout the whole session.
The home people we're all we'll pleas
ed with their guest and only wish thai
thew could have similar meeting

FIVE cent cotton is having more to

people now than anything else. And
some are simple enough and others I'M

price OF cotton to the Democratic party.
But the Democratic party has nothing
to do with it.

owe much to the Democratic party for
