dominate that great, though somewhat
shattered organization. The democrat
ic party for years past have asked the
people for chance to bring peace and
prosperity to their doors. Two years
ago that request was granted, and what
has been the result? Not a single
pledge has been redeemed or a single
promise kept, but the entire machinery
OF the party has been placed in the
hands of that class of individuals who
have been in the past and are now the
abiding curse of the great plain people
oil this country. The people had
right to expect relief from the demo-
cratic party, and the results of last No

hinder OF their disappointment, and
venture the assertion that If the pres
ent bill becomes q law the people at
the next election will wipe out the last
vestige of the democratic party"

SENATOR 9 MARION BUTLER.

President Of the National Farmers AL
lance and Strong POpulist.
Marion Butler, who was elected by
the general assembly of North Carolina
Jan. %, for a six years term in the
United States senate to succeed Gener-
al Ransom, was born in Sampson coun-
ty, N. c., May 20, 1863. His great
grandfather, James Butler, settled in
Sampson county in 1850, and was SOL
der in the revolutionary war. One
hundred years later his father, Wiley
Butler, entered the confederate army.
At the close of the four years struggle
the subject of this sketch was a child
in his mothers arms. He was raised
on his fathers farm, ten miles from
the county seat, and within three miles
Of where his grandfather, James But
Ter settled.
He was prepared for college by his
mother and at Salem high school. He
entered the University of North Caro-
lima in 1851, and graduated in 1885.
During his senior year at the univer-
sity he studied law in addition to his
regular college course and could have
entered the legal profession the same
year, but the sudden death of his faith
er at this time called him home to take
charge of the business. His father had
made sacrifices to educate him from the
proceeds Of his farm, and he at once
went to work to assist his mother in
educating his younger brothers and
sisters. To this end he took charge
| of the Salem high school and conducted
it for three years, and at the same
time superintendent the farm.
In 1883 he was elected president Of
the Sampson County Farmers ALI
anCe. In a few weeks he bought the
Clinton Caucasian and soon built it up
to be one of the largest and strongest
weeklies in the state. In 1890 he was
elected to the state senate after a hard
fight as the champion of the railroad
commission. Under his leadership the
| present railroad commission law was
enacted, and a movement put on foot
to force every corporation in the state
to enlist its property and pay just taxes
on the same. 1t was hard and bitter
fight b1tz<he people triumphed. In
1891 he Vas elected president of the
State Alliance of North Carolina; in
1892 he was elected by reclamation.
The same year he was elected vice.
president Of the, National Alliance.
At the Topeka meeting of the Ma
tional Alliance, in 1894, he was elected
president of the organization on the
first ballot,
The part he took in planning and d.
recting the late campaign on behalf
of the Peoples party is we'll known.
He will be thirty-two years old the
goth of next May.

Dress for Mature Women.

The greatest amount OF care is required
in the selection Of attire for women who
are past their first bloom. When woman
has turned 30 or 40, she should seek to
adapt dress to her years. To do this 1T Is
by no means necessary to look dowdyish
or to wear things that are unbecoming or
old looking. The first principle of appro-
pirate dress for women in middle life is to
select good material and have it made in q
conservative fashion, an abundance of
frills ruflles and fussiness being emphat-
ically out of place on woman of 40 to so
years.
When she has passed the half century
landmark, every effort to appear youthful
and dress in Juvenile fashion simply makes
her ridiculous and emphasizes the marks
of time in her general appearance.
There is nothing that bctrays a woman S
age like dressing too young. young
woman may wear conservative and ma
ture looking dresses and wraps and bon
nets, yet be very stylish and elegant, but
if the woman who is past 80 attempts the
styles that properly belong to 20 or 20, she
gives unmistakable evidence of a weakness
in her brain or very decided perversion of
good taste.
Materials for handsome dresses for mid
die aged women shqkd be Of good quality
and such as will require but limited
amount of garniture. There are fabrics
that are handsome enough without much
trimming and whatever DECORATION is used
should be of the highest grade.
1t is possible to so dress that the flight
of years is not kept conspicuously in view
But this must he done by the choice OF
plain but rich styles and fabrics and q

Excess in Physical Exercise.

NJ le Gendre of Paris in an article on
this subject, showed that the period of
growth created certain morbid predisposi-
tions, as tendency to excessive arterial
tension, manifested by palpitations, cpl
taxis pains in the head in arthritic indi-
viduals susceptibility to chill when the
body is in a state of pcrspiration; in neuro-
arthritic persons tendency toward atony
of the stomach, increased by the abundant
ingestion of fluids; in others of nervous
temperament a prcdisposition to headache,
tics, chorea and "a craving for violent dis
traction.
Under such conditions it is easy to I'M
derstand how excess in physical exercise
may be followed by serious consequences.
After violent games of football, tennis or
the too prolonged use of the bicycle the fe-
yer of overeXertion may supervene with
the complications that accompany it, as
prostration, curvatures, pain osteomyel-
ties, dyspepsia with great anorexia, dila-
ton of the heart, palpitation syncope,
true asystole and possibly hypertrophy, ar
ticular Inflammation or typhlitis.
The author therefore believed it of
great importance for parents to have their
children examined before allowing them
to give themselves up to any particular
sport and to forbid 1t If there be any trou-
BILE of the circulatory, locomotor, digestive
or nervous system; to insist upon progress

whatever it may be, and while encourag-
ing athletics and gymnastics to forbid any
competition in these sports.-Revue des

Janakli, a small town in the Kirdjali
district, last week. The village was in

Did Not End at Gettysburg and
Yicksburg.

Did it ever occur to you that if the
North had been fighting the people of
any other nation under the sun the
War of the Rebellion would have ended
at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, July 4,
1862 But they were fighting Ameri-
cans, and an American never surrend-
ers until the last hope is gone. We
look through the mists of lifetime and
almost feel like saluting the brave men
of the South who did not know when
they were whipped, or, if they did,
fought as CALAMITY after they were
whipped, for two long years, as they
did during the two years that they be-
lieved they would win in the contest.
All of the other governments on earth
would seek in vain to subdue and crush
our nation of 70,000,0 900 of people, who
could present an army of 10000, 900 of
fighting men to defend their land, their
government, it's institutions, their flag.
There are no drawer men in the world,
there never we're any drawer men in the
world, men who could fight better or
undergo greater hardships without a
disposition to surrender, than the
Americans-both native and foreign
born Americans. This Yankee nation
of ours need not fear the combined
world. 1t is not likely that the COM
bined world will ever attack it, but if it
does it will do 80 to the sorrow and hui
