| wish to state through your valu-
able paper, to whom 1t may concern,
that | have been all my life a Demo
crat in principle, and | still hold to
the pure principles of Democracy;
and from this fact ! can no longer
tolerate in any way, or affiliate III or
with the now so-called Democratic
party, and | do associate myself, pO-
liticaIly, with the Third Party-the
only redemption Of our much loved
republic, in my opinion. cannot
reIigiously cast my vote for such cor
ruption, fraud, and oppression as IS,
and have been practiced by such a
machine, so-called Democracy, as
that party is now
cannot see it my christian duty
to uphold party that has left its
first love, fallen from grace, and be
come so corrupt in uplifting the al
ready rich by depressing the poor OF
our land, thus bringing such woe and
misery upon the masses.
| hope God will ever save me from
casting my vote or lending IA helping
hand in bringing men, women and
children to want bread.
! know it will be said by many
Preachers should not mix with pol
itIcs;" but | beg to differ. If there
ever was a time when any nation
needed the good men Of the lard to
lend helping hand it is our much
loved land in this great day Of calam-
tiles. We want men to rule who
would even dare to do their duty,
though the Heavens fall;' men that
can not be bought and sold by the
Gold Bug, OF led by Satanic intu-
ences to Cypress any citizen or OPP
pose the money man who, by hard
labor has secured for himself and

| think it is very becoming to every
minister of this land, and all who
name the name Of G lrisr, to help suf-
fering humanity, and we could have
but little confidence in men who
claim to have the spirit of Christ,
and not manifest it in doing what
he thought to be IN accordance with

ing this card that ! am in search OF
an office. Not 50. | have an Off &c
which if performed well will let down

Mr.. EpITOR: The morning Of the
18th dawned bright and clear, the
perature had been modified by
the cool wave: indeed. the day Wa
an ideal one for pjcnics. dinners, &c.
Early the people began to assemble
in ElzabethtowH and about seven or
eight hundred had gathered by II
O'Clock. AT which hour Brother Butter
arrived.
The crowd assembled IN the large,
new court house, but It would not
mold them. A temporary stand vas
erected out doors under the shade.
Brother Butler was introduced ny
Mr.. :. NJ. King. and in his clear.
forciblc style, explained the demands
Of the Alliance. and his speech was
characterized throughout by such
plainne9s that none could fail 10 un-
derstaud.
The speech had Il telling effect on
the crowd. To attempt To give even
brief synopsi, would bat do him IN

After speaking. dinner was served
and the wants OF the inner man at
tended TO. The universal verdict Is.
that the Farmers dinner was sue
cess and one long to be remembered.
Al night Mr.. Butler spoke to Il

THE COTTON WAREHOUSE ABLAZE

THE COTTON WAREHOUSE ABLAZE.
During IA severe rain storm which
ragged in this city Sunday afternoon
accompanied with vivid flashes of
lightning and heavy pealS of thun-
der, a flash of lightning struck the
Goldsboro cotton warehouse and very
soon that portion of the building
struck was dblaze with barnlng cot
ton. The alarm was sounded which
quickly brought the fire department
who soon had several streams of wa
ter turned upon the now fierce fire.
After hard and brave work the fire
was gotten under control and by
nightfall nothing but smOuldering
ruins of cotton was left in that sec
ton Of the warehouse burned, III
which there had been stored 80
bales of cotton, 230 of which was
owned by Mr.. l.. ID. Gully; MeSsrS-
IL. We'll and Bro. owning the bal
ance. Mr.. Gulley carried no insur-
ance on his cotton and his estimate
loss Is placed at 3G,0OO,while Messrs
We'll and Bro. are fully covered by
insurance. The total damage tc
building and cotton will reach near
Iy $4,000. But for the prompt re-
Spouse of our fire department-the
rain fall at the time the alarm was
given being the heaviest that fell

In the beginning God made Adam out
of the earth, but he did not make Glus,
kabe (thr Indian COD. GluS-kabe made
himself ont of the dirt that was kicked
up in the creation of Adam. He rose
and walked about, but he could not
speak until the Lord opened his lips.
God made the earth and the sea, and
then he took counsel with Glus-kabe
concerning them. He asked him if it
would be better to have the rivers run
up on one side of the earth and down on
the other, but Glus- kabe said, No, they
must all run down one way"
Then the Lord asked him about the
ocean, whether it would DO to have it
always lie still. Glus-kabe told him.
"No!" 1t must rise and fall, or else it
would grow thick and stagnant.
How about fire." asked the Lord,
"can it burn all the time and nobody
put it OUT
Glus- kabe said, THAT would not do.
for if anybody got burned and fire could
not be put out they would die, but if it
could be put out then the burn would
get WELL"
So he answered all the Lords ques-
tions.-Popular Science Monthly.

An Irish farmer asked the well known
Father Tom Mcguire what a miracle

ton, which, however, did not seem to
quite satisfy the farmer, who said, Now,

give me an example of miracles!''

IN Virginia, where tobacco was the
chief production, it was early used as
money. Taxes were collected and fines
assessed in tobacco by weight. In 1924
1t was enacted that any person absent
ing himself from Irvine service any sun
day should forfeit a pound Of tobacco,
and If absent four consecutive Sundays,
50 pounds Of tobacco. The law extend
ed to ministers. who were required TO
"Dreach III the forenoon and CatechlSe IN
the afternoon of every Sunday, under
forfeiture of 500 pounds of tobacco. But
for any "pOpish reCu.ant' who should
assume to exercise public office, or even
remain in the co,Ony above five days
after warning" the penalty was 1000
pounds of tobacco.
Clergymen We're paid III tobacco, but
in 1852, owing to the low price Of that
commodity, there was added to their al
lowance every twentyeth calfe, kdde
and pigge." The value Of tobacco and
almost everything else was regulated by
statute or judicial decree. In Maryland
| 5000 it was enacted that every tavern
| keeper who demanded above 10 pounds
Of tobacco for a gallon Of small beer, 20
pounds for gallon of strong beer, 4
pounds for a night lodging Ill a bed or
| IL pounds for peck Of oats, should for
| felt for each otfenSe 800 pounds of to-
| bacco.-Green Eag.

Successful Advertising.


The success Of advertising depends
upon the advertiser. He must have
goods the people need and offer them
in an attractive way. He must have
the goods he advertises at the price
stated. A 'fuke adj" is poor in
vestment for any business man. Loss
of confidence in business announce
ments means loss of trade.
All advertising does lot pay. There
must be judgment used III making in
vestments in advertising space as
well as in the purchase Of any goods.
Advertising is not a one-quality and
ne-priced article any more than
woollen goods, broadcloths, oranges
or meats. The medium for advertis-
ing, the circulation and the number
Of readers must all be considered.
The newspapers of a place are al
ways better than "the occasional OPP
portunity" for announcing bargains,
and always give a better return. 1t
is "a fair estimate to count five read
ers for every paper, and the larger
the number of papers issued the
more valuable the space. The money
paid in catch-penny schemes for a
single issue is frequent enough 10
pay for the same space in a good
weekly paper for month.
There is a chance for scholarship
ingenuity, invention, eccentrlclty
and wit in preparing an advertise
ment but honesty is always the best
trademark, and, as it cannot be
copyrighted, all are free to use II,
Put work and sense into an adver.
tisement and then put it in the col.

only. Old subscribers must renew
at the regular price. We make this
liberal offer to help our friends and
the friends of good government who
want to send the paper to their
neighbors.
Every day we get several letters
praising the work that The CAUcA-
SIAN is doing. They all say that
the paper is great vote maker. If
this is true we are doing our part.
But the paper can't make votes, no
matter how good it is, unless it Is
read by those who do not read 1t, but
are ready to read the truth. This,
dear reader, depends on you. The
truth must be gotten before the peo-
| pie before the Peoples party can
win. The campaign is now on us.
Get The CAUCASIAN into the hands
of every voter. If you can't do that,
put it into the hands of as many OF
the best men around you as possible.
Get up a club of ten. See that
ten men III your neighborhood are
reading THE CAUCASIAN next week,
who now are not reading it.

Breaking Down the Barriers.

The advance in the movement placing
woman on an equality with men IN mat
tiers political and otherwise appears to
be very irregular. In Michigan and New
York the woman suffrage laws have just
been pronounced unconstitutional, and
vet in New Zealand another suffrage law
has Just been enacted for the benefit Of
women, and the authorities Of Dublin
university have opened the Junior fell
lowship of the university to female stu
dents. 1t is evident that there is a grow
ing disposition to place women on an
equality, and if the constitutions stand
in the way the time may come when
they will get an amendment tackled
upon them.-Lowell iMass.) Daily Mail.

MEN WHO MAKE BEST HUSBANDS

Every unmarried man thinks he

married man knows he is the best

the man woman loves possesses On

on this subject of such weli-knoWn
men as Rev. Dir. Parkhurst, Palmer

their views in the July number Of
Demorest's Family Magazine, some
of which are very unique, and all
