TRIBUTE TO A TAR HEEL WRITER

The following from the Augusta
Chronicle is a very just tribute to one
of the Charlotte Observers bright
young men. We took occasion the
other day to speak likewise, touching
this article, and feel like guessing Mr.
Howard A. Banks to have been the
author:
THE Charlotte Observers tri-
butte to Bryan is one of the finest
compositions we have seen in many
day. 1t is worthy of Grady's pen,
when that enchanter was on the
earth. There was nothing ''gush-
ing" about it. 1t is genuinely
graceful, elegant, true end pic
turesque."

Speaking of Russell campaign yom-
things in Durham Thursday night,
the Sun of that city put over the news
paper report of the TRADE the follow
ING headlines; ''Vulgarity and Abuse.
Last Nights Speeches TOO Dirty for
Decent People to Hear. Such speeches
Have Never Been Delivered Here Be
fore" The story proceeds:
'The political garbage carts
passed through Durham last night.
Dan Russell and Ki Gudger are two
of the bitterest speakers among
the opponents of Democracy now
addressing the people. Not in
many a day have the prejudices OF
the ignorant been so aroused, and
such a flood of abuse and vulgari-
ty been turned loose as was on tap

from Russell, Pritchard and Marshall

orderly conduct, and carbolic acid and

BLACKBURN IN FLORIDA.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 26.-Between
1900 and $500 persons greeted Senator
Joe Blackburn at Defuniak Springs to-
day. He spoke for an hour and half
and confined his remarks almost ex-
clusively to the silver question. He will
speak in New York on Tuesday and at
the Tammany ratification meeting on
Wednesday night.

Those Yale students are the only
men in this country who have inter
fered with the free and fair speech of
Mr.. Bryan. Tt may be that they enjoy
that distinction. 1t is from such stuff
as they that Anarchists are bred. But
it is fair to say that the college is no
better than the men who make it up.
and this mob will simply have to be
charged up to the Yale mixture.

American Wit.

The other day at lunch given to
several poets of fame and repute,
there was present one of the most
charming and witty American wom-
en- that the world has known. The
poets were recording various good
stories, and one of them related a
tale he had heard of the poet Words
worth by one who had known him
intimately. 1t seems that this bard
was in the habit of writing at night
and in the early morning, and that
he used to rouse his wife and ex-
claim, about four o'clock: Mari a,
get up; l have thought of a good
wordr' Whereupon the obedient
helpmate arose, and recorded it upon
paper About an hour after new
inspiration would seize upon the
poet, and he would call out: Maria,
get up; / have thought of a better
word' This story was listened to
with admiration, but the bright
eyed American remarked, with a
wave of the red rose in her hand:
well, if he'd been my husband, /
should have said: Wordsworth, get
up; I've thought of a bad wordP -

the Austrian empire, with $40, 395,
456 of gold; Germany third, with

$50, 203, 648; Great Britain, with

Important as the money and tariff
questions are in this campaign they
should not be allowed to obscure
other issues. Ruinous as free trade
and change in our money standard
would be it is doubtful whether more
disastrous results might not follow
from other causes. 1t is dangerous
thing to place great nation like ours
in the hands of men like Bryan, Wat.
son, Atgeld, Waite, Debs and Coxey.
They have neither the brains, politi-
cal experince, nor pride in our nation 5
honor to manage the government
and would almost surely run the ship
OF state into dangerous waters if
placed in command.

Tnlman Made Her Weep.

Atlanta Journal: II heard a good
story on Ben Tillman at Chamberlin's
in Washington City the other day
which | have never heard told down
this way BEFORE said well-known
railroad man Yesterday. when
Tillman was making his TRADE against
Cleveland in the senate, the story
goes, he noticed an old woman in the
gallery who seemed convulsed with
grief. The further his speech pro-
crossed the more intense seemed the
oldllady's sobbing.
The S 1uth Carolina senator was
curious to know why she wept so bit
terly, and at the conclusion of his
fierce harangue lie sought her out in
the gallery and asked her the cause.
We'll, I'llStell you, sir she replied
between her sobs, Last month heavy
frost ruined my garden and only two
weeks ago my husband died. Then
my little Jackass Ned, who used to
wake me up mornings brayin', took
sick and died too, and when heard
you a-talkin' it reminded me so much
OF him that jest couldn't keep from
erwin.

Honesty Of The AMERICAN voter

Many entirely honest and intelligent
men have been misled by the silver
talk, and have for the moment joined
the ranks Of the ignorant, the vicious,
and the wrong-headed. These men
of character and capacity are blinded
by their own misfortunes Of their own
needs, or else they have never fairly
looked into the matter for themselves,
being like most men, whether in
gold" or silver communities, con-
tent to follow the opinion OF those
they are accustomed to trust. After
full aud fair inquiry these men, am
sure, whether they live in Maine, in
Tennessee, or in Oregon, will come
out on the side OF honest money. The
ShiftlesS and vicious, and the honest
but hopelessly ignorant aud puzzle
headed voters cannot be reached; but
the average farmer, the average bust
ness man, the average workman-in
short the average American-win al
ways stand up for honesty and decen-
cy, when he can once satisfy himself
