10 NOT SPLIT on THE ROCK.

The Democratic party had an object
lesson in the last general election.
That lesson was the fact that differences
within its own ranks helped largely in
the defeat which the party suffered at
the polls. Certain il is that there were
other grave causes which contributed
or perhaps were principal in the defeat )
but lust as certain is it that discussions
within our own ranks had much to do
with our defeat. We said SIX months
before the election that the expressed
preferences concerning Ransom and
Jarvis would lead to disaster. We
believe now that it did. 1t is all right
to have preferen ces but they may be
expressed at the wrong time. And
then no personal preference should take
the place of the interest Of the people.
However, that matter is past and we
ONLY mention it as an index-finger to
possible disaster along other lines.
If the Democratic party has had any
hope of recovering ITS lost ground it is
getting in fair way to lose more of it
rather than recover what 1t has lost
The rock on which the party now seems
likely 70 go 20 pieces is the contention
about gold and silver. There is too
much bitterness springlng up in the
discussion of it, both IN the prints and
in personal debate. SILVER men ought
not to denOunce gold men as cheats
and thieyes and gold men ought not to
denounce silver men as dOlts and dull
lards. Let us arrive at safe conclusions
but let us do so cOnservatiyely.

BOYKINs, VA, June 3, 1895.
Jimmie Martin, the 19-year-old son
of Mr.. Junius Martin, who lives near
Bethany church, two miles from Con-
way, decided to go to Conway and ride
back home with friends on the excur-
sion train from Norfolk last Friday
night AS the train neared his home
finding that 1t was not going to stop Gas
it is only flag station) he jumped from
the train, which was running about 80
miles an hour He was badly broken
up, and died at II o'clock Saturday,
June LIST. AS no one saw him Jump he
lay all night where he fell, being dis
covered by laborer coming to work
IN the morning. This shocking acct
dent has cast gloom over the commu-
nifty in which he lived. as he was we'll
known and liked by all who knew him.
The funeral services we're conducted
Sunday by Rev. A. j. Parker, and the
remains we're conveyed to their last
resting place followed by a crowd of
sorrowing relatives and friends.
We are glad to learn taat Mr. Parson

FORGIVE HIM, Ell?

The North Carolina Baptist, one of
the strongest Temperance and prohibi-
ton papers in the State, seems inclined
to forgive Judge Norwood for his slip
up at Robson court. That paper says:
We do not know Judge Norwood's
record, and Notwithstanding all our hal
tired of whiskay, supreme disgust
for the drunkard, our eternal enmity to
the traffic, we are inclined to forgive
and lift up his hands and let him try
again. Weshould not now, that he has
fallen, hasten to hurl abuse at him
We should not stone the helpless man
nor hold the garments while others do
the work. He, like us all, is subject to
temptation and is beset with sin. 1t is
the genuine regret of all good people
that he should have so far forgotten
himself as to get drunk, and it should
be their desire to hold up his hands,
cheer him on. encourage him in resist
ance, and endeavor, in Christian love.
to aid the man IN this time of dark
ness.
Neither does THE DEMOCRAT know
Judge Norwood's record personally nor
by hearsay for we have never seen
him and never heard of him before last
election. But our contemporary does
not read we'll between the lines. What
man ever lived to be old enough and
become learned enough in the law to
be Judge OF a Superior court in North
Carolina without making a record as to
his sobrlety? He either has been ad-
dicted to the drink habit or he has not.
Now, from the facts In the case at Max
ton, on which side would you place him ?
This is all we know of his record and
we believe it is all that is needed To
form a correct opinion of what sb0ul1
be done III the case
We stih believe that section 2937,
Wv. IL VI llo COuC or North Carolina
ought to be brought to bear upon all
such officers.
Personally we have nothing to saw of
Judge Norwood, for as stated before we
know nothing of him except at Max
ton; but we plead for the dignity Of
the high and responsible office which
he fills.
Let Judge Norwood send in his res.
lgnation and then we will forgive him
as readily as the Baptist; but we have
very little Of that kind of strength
which will hold up his hands and let
him try again" That would be too
much like advising Young ylrl to
marry drunkard in order that she
might reform him.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

1t now develops that the Legislature
made greater blunder in the public
printing contract than any one had
supposed at first.
Secretary H. C. Brown Of the Rail
road Commission recently gave 1t out
that it would take him thirty days to
read the proof OF the report Of the Rail
road Commission. Mr. Browns Office
is IN Raleigh, and az the proof must be
read by him it will necessitate bis going
to Winston and thus incur additional
EXPENSE. Also the State has to bear
the express charges on all printing from
Winston to Raleigh
The State printers recently rendered
bill at treble price for books printed
and acting auditor Mr. Palmer Jirman
promptly refused to Issue warrant for 1t.
1t results in putting the whole matter
in the hands Of an investigating com
mlttee 1t has been stated by practical
printers that the present printing con
tract will cost the State ten thousand
dollars more than the last one. So
much for partisan motives in placing
the contract.

The only way to cure is to feed the

people certify that the best blood-puri-

it has done for others it will do for yOll

The strong point about Hoods Sar-

Superintendent 4. LeaZar visited the
State farms on the Roanoke last week
He told TIE DEMOCRAT that a consld-
cradle quantity of cotton had to be
plowed up on the Northampton farm
near Halifax About one sixth OF the
cotton land was not repIanted In cotton,
bat was planted in corn when the cot
ton was plowed up. The grass, said
Mr.. Leazar, has been very troublesome.
It has taken much more work than
usual to cultivate the crop thus far.

In white marble, lite size, and stands
on a pedestal of colOred marble in the

She was educated in Salem, Mass, her

this city to purchase it for the new
Congressional Library Several years
ago Congress desired to buy it, but
there was a member from Georgia and
another from Alabama who had never
been outside of their respective States
before, who objected to the purchase
because the statue was not clothed in
18th century clothes. 1t is we'll worth
the price charged for It, 1t was once
bought by a wealthy New Yorker. who
paid 50, 600 for it, Later this gentle
man failed in business and when his
effects were solu. Miss Lander not wish
ing one of her favorlte pieces Of sculp-

markable for its grace, dignity and
beauty, and the workmanship is ex-

OF the frame and limbs, and the sur
roundlngs are all admirable and IN
perfect keeping with the idea embodied.

ROANOKE RAPIDS.
An Embryo City on the Great Roanoke
MAI. TOM L. EMRY.

Tom Emry in it. North Carolina would
b. the foremost State in the Union"
Such were the remarks Of a visitor to
Roanoke Rapids last Thursday. 1t has
been nearly two years since The Demo
Graf gave a description Of the great
water power being developed on Roa-
noke river, chiefly through the efforts
Of Nal T. L. Emry. We said then
that Maj Emry would make something
out Of his enterprise and he has.
Last Thursday nearly thousand pee
pie gathered at Roanoke Rapids to EN-
Joy a most bountituI picnic which Maj.
Emry had prepared and to which re
had invited Everybody and all his fam
lly."
A special train was run from Peters
burg and also one from Raleigh. On
these trains large number Of business
men and pleasure seekers came to see
the great water power at Roanoke Rap
| ids and to see also the results Of tie
| most stupendous enterprise ever started
in North Carolina by one man alone.
THE TOWN.
What one year ago was the wild
woods and dell" and the "furrowed
field almost as by magic, has been
converted into broad avenues, cleared
and graded and we'll laid streets, along
which are beautiful buildings, some of
which are already occupied and the
ring of the carpenters tools has just
cleverly begun.
About twenty good buildings have
already been erected along one of the
high ridges leading to the mill sites
near the river, and many others are
being planned 1t is confidently ex-
pected and predicted, even by those
who formerly had taken pessimistic
view OF Maj Emry 'sscheme, that with
IN two years there will be several thous-
and people at Roanoke Rapids.
THE POWER.
The canal has been finished, the bulk
heads perfected, the water power fully
located and one power house built and
the wheels are in place There is per-
haps no greater water power in the
South. 1t is simply immense. No one
who does not see it can have any con-
ception of the immensely of the work
The foundations have been LAID for
the first factory, and the walls are well
on the way. 1t will be large knitting
mill, to employ 800 operatives AS
soon as that mill is completed other
factories will be built and with the op-
portunlties for profitable investment
and employment, there is no longer
any doubt about the fact that there
will soon be an important manufacture
ing town on the banks of the great
dashlng Roanoke, where but as yester-
day the woodlands Ak had scarcely
been heard
Large amounts of money have al
ready been invested there and the work
has scarcely begun.
A GREAT PARK
, The plans for the town are truly
broad in their conception. Just in tie
centre of the large area designed for the
, town is large tract of wood land, hills
and dells, which VIII be turned into a
great park. This VIII be very l,eauti-
full and will lend charm to the place
that few such towns ever have. The
