TIE DENoCRAT will appear only once
more after this Issue. After June llth
the heading Will be changed to The
CouNo>wEALTn This has been stated
for several weeks in succession, but We
keep ii before our readers in order that
they may not be surprised at the
change.
We have answered many personal
inquiries about the change from differ
ent parts Of the State, and we think
that the change is we'll understood and
ne have met quite number who have
said to rs they like the change. The
Democratic Mayor Of one OF the best
towns in the state has written us a per
sonal letter IN which he commends IL
in the change contemplated.
We hope to please Our readers in il
and d. no violence to our own interest,
and at the same time avoid some con
fusion Of names that We meet IN the
fact that there arc At least eight paper

LET THEM BE TRUE MEN.

1t is very clear to every man who
makes observations enough to dlstin-
guish between the days of the week
that there is great unrest amongst the
people Of North Carolina The cause
OF this unrest or the good reasons for
it, we do not now discuss. But we
wish to call the attention Of the Demo
cratic leaders, # we have any, to some
simple facts.
To begin with, the Democratic party
Will have hard fight to win this year,
and II needs to husband every inch Of
it. strength III order to do It's very best
work.
Then much-yae might we not say
all 9-depends upon the nominations
that shall he made in the county and
State conventions. Many good men
who went from the Democratic ranks
two years ago and before, would will
ingIy vote the Democratic ticket again
with the proper appreciation OF their
return and the proper candidates for
them to return to.
In word, let it be understood that
# tho narnnnratir marty would hone to
succeed IN North Carolina in the com
ing campaign, we must nominate tol
the various offices, county and State
men who are real men with the Dest
and most that real man means.
We recently heard a level-headed
staunch Democrat. say Il will never
again vote for a man whom ! know to be
rascal, don't care what party nolni-
mates him"
This is the feeling of many who do
not express it as clearly as he did SO
the Democratic party VIII do well to
have an eve to nominating in every
case good men whose private lives and
characters are above reproach, as we'll
as their public record, If they have any
such.
We would not presume to prescribe
iuet what shall be the qualifications of
men who should be nominated tor the
various offices. Suffice 1t to saw that
they ought to he the purest and best
men that can be selected
The very word candidate" means in
its original significance white 1t de
riyes its meaning from Latin candidus,
which means white and the signifi-
canoe was that the man who offered
himself for the suffrage OF his fellows
was clear Of stains Let it be so now
and the results will be far more salts

Why is all this talking about bolt
ing from the Democratic ranks if the
National Convention fails to 50 and 50
1t has always been the policy Of Dem
ocracy to let the majority rule, and il
is our opinion that when our delegates
meet in the National convention they
will adopt a platform the principles OF
which VIII be considered, by the ma
jority of that body, for the best inter
ests of the people Of this great Nation.
All sections of the country cannot have
what they want 50 let us take what the
majority of delegates consider best for
all and remain united. IN other words
let us keep the Democratic banner
proudly floating to the breeze and
march onward to victory.

WHAT WE INHERIT

We are not to blame for. We cannot
be held responsible for the dispositions
and tendencies which we derive from
our ancestors, nor are we RESPONSE BILE
for the germs Of disease which may
manifest themselves in our blood as &
heritage from former generations. But
we are responsible # we allow these
germs to develop nto serious diseases
which will impair our usefulness and
destroy our happiness. We are respon-
slble If we transmit to our defendants
the disease germs which it is possible
for us to eradicate by the use of Hood s
Sarsaparilla, the one true blood purifier
This medicine has power to make rich
red blood and establish perfect health
In place of disease.

A Mos, Successful Commencement

Wake Foreat commencement last
week was. In some respects, the greatest
in the history OF the institution. Class
Day exercises on Monday night were
very fine, all the participants acqulttlng
themselves well. Tuesday night Rev.
W. /. Wright Of Richmond delivered
the annual address before the Alumni
Association Just before the hour for
the address there was severe rain and
thunderstorm. Thi. kept a great
many from the chapel, but there was
good audience Of the student body and
visitors, but only few ladies out.
rWright's address was on "Chrstlan
Education and Religion in College. !"
II was we'll delivered and well received
Dr.. Wright took high ground IN his
claims for the work of christian col
legea. and declared that they can do and
are dong many things that State lnstl-
tutiOn- can not do. He spoke IN no
uncertain tones concerning State aid to
higher education He said higher ed
ucatiOu i either an endowment or a
luxury. As an endowment it makes
1t possible tor the individual thus
favored to get larger salary Tor the
working years Of hi. natural life !;
and the State has no right to show this
preference. As a luxury it ENABLES
the one favored to live IN the ENJOY
ment of higher knowledge, and the
state has no right to give few persons
this advantage over so many others.
Dr.. Wright said that the State had
as much right to give the proverblal
'forty acres and a mule" as 1t has to
Give higher education to few at the
expense Of the tax payers.
After the address the Alumni Asso-
citation remained together for the tran
slctiOn Of business.
Hon d. A. Covington OF Wadesboro,
was elected alumni orator for next year
and Rev. w. Y. Savage of Tarboro al
ternate. A committee was appointed
to draw up resolutions relative to the
death OF DR.. Prltchard, DR.. Durham,
Mr.. George w. Blount and other alum
nj who have died since the last annual
meeting.

A former Harper's Ferrian, who heartily

Brown raid, when he WAS about fourteen,
with all the immuuitles, privileges and SUI
p, rior means of securing information be-
longing To that aye, says: Haywood WAS
doubtless in accord and sympathy with the
movement and had given valuable aid and
influence in organizing, but when the hour
for action arrived, had reconsidered the mat
ter, became impressed with the darger and
uncertainty of open action, and refused TO
further identify himself with the movement.
His recanting so exasperated Hayslet that
the fear Of the exposure Of plans prompted
him TO shoot Haywood instanter, safely
closing his book Of secrets, and Haywood
became a victim to his refusal to part from
the methods that had served him and his
family well " THE FREE PRESS NAV yet
he obliged 10 revive its siereotyped phrase,
"John Browns first victim" &c. L.
The above communication appeared in
the Harper's Ferry Sentinel Of the 2Sh of
December The unprovoked murder of
Hayward Shephe'd-"John Browns first
victim at Harper's Ferry"-was monstrous /;
the attempt TO rob him of his good name is
atrocous and the essay above made to
claim for fourteen-year old boy knowledge
of what was going on there-information
that was not attaiuable by men or women
of Harper's Ftrry-is an insult to the in.
telligence of the readers of the Sentinel
It is an after thought of peridious soul to
blot out. if possible, the historic fact that
John Browns first victim at Harper'S
Ferry was an industrious, inotlensive colored
man" If the fourteen yearold boy under
stood that there was 3 conspiracy to murder
and pillage, he was old enough and nteli
gent enough, if not thoroughly depraved,
