Bacon and Beans Should Last the Whole Year
Round.
Wilkesboro Chronicle.

Away back in the days gone by
when Wilkes was a larger State
than now-for it took in the coun-
try westward to Tennessee-the
people had a way of talking per-
sonally with their Representatives
and telling them what legislation
they wished. 1t is told that, back
III those days, when Col. Wellborn
represented the great estate of
Wilkes i'll the Legislature, among
others who called upon him to
discuss the kind of legislation
needed was an aged backwoodsman
from the Blue Ridge who request
ed that law be passed compel
ling bacon to. hold out as long
as beans lasted" 1t sounds like
mighty silly request, but still
underneath it there is lot of
undeveloped, common, hard
"hoss" sense, which would bene-
fit our people at this time if they
would heed its teachings. The old
fellow knew from experience that
beans were not very good without
bacon and that bacon was better
when with beans, and he was right.
HIS idea was that bacon and beans
should last all the year, and what
pity it is that some of our peo-
pie today haven't the same idea
With bacon ard beans to last the
year round, our people could live
at nome, no matter what happen
eel. And who is it who has a bit
OF land, that can't have that
much OF his own? Instead of liv-
ing from hand to mouth on Wes-
tern bacon, beans and bread
Wilkes people should have all
these plentiful at home and to
spare. Our people are following
after false gods, and are getting
poorer every day. The underneath
philosophy of the aged mountain
eer should be taken home by them
and they should all make law of
their own compelling their own ba-
con to hold out as long as their
beans last, and their beans sbould
last the whole year ronnd

The Remains Were Never Buried

Writing of the famous Hoke c.
Secrest murder case-the murder
OF his wife and child by Secrest
which occurred in Burke county
nearly a quarter OF a century ago.
with the details of which people
are more or less familiar, the
Monroe Journal says:
lone thing singular in regard
to this IS that the remains of the
mother and child, though dead
more than p years, have never vet
had Christian burial. Itseems to
bet he fate to which they have been
doomed. When murdered they
were ruthlessly cast into a shall
low hole from whence they were
dragged by dogs and wild ami
mails. Then taken into court.
they were banded about from pill
lar to post for near twenty years
tlll the late trial of Secrest in
1898, after which what few scraps
that remained of them were sent
to the clerk of the court in Monroe
to be turned over to relatives.
They have never been taken from
his Office and today lie there in a
small rough box under a table.
Verify he who is born to be hung
will never be drowned, and he who
IS born to go unburied will never
sleep peacefully in grave

Neither Side Can Win.

Mr.. Charles Pepper, the Cuban
correspondent of the Washington
Star, writing of the situation in
the island says: II was told by
insurgent sympathizers in Havana
that in military sense the insur-
rection was stronger than ever.
My observation of the campaign
ing did not justify this assertion.
The instruction is perhaps
stronger because relatively Spain
is weaker. As to military opera
tons, it would be idle to say that
General Weyler, with his 100000
soldiers, has accomplished moth
ing. 1t is doubtful if Gomez
could now lead a body of insur-
gents within sight of Havana, as
he once did. II Maceo were alive
it is unquestionable whether he
could sweep with his men from
Pinar del Rio up into Matanazs as
he did on former occasion as an
answer to Weyler's claim that the
country was pacifed. In word,
the ability of the insurgents for
aggressive movements has been
lessened. Whether it would be re-
newed by the recognition of bell
igerency is a question for the fu-
ture. Where they have arms their
activity is marvellous. While Mr..
Calhoun was in Havana General
Weyler was personally in the field
in Santa Clara, and was travelling
around to Cienfuegos, Sugua,
Placetas, Sancti Spiritus and other
points. The insurgents said he
was afraid to leave his troops, and
they did harass the Spanish col
umns. Quintin Bandera, the in
surgent mulatto leader, kept a
large force of Spanish troops
marching and countermarching
around Trinidad. In other WAYS
the insurgents showed their capa-
bility for action.
"With all the western and CEN
trail part of the island garrisoned,
there is little now for the Spanish
soldiers to do except to wait the
outcome of the rainy season. l
have previously described the sys-
tenn OF fortinas and forts along
the railroads in the interior. The
military policy of Weyler, in MAX
ing the country a desert, is caus-
ing a further concentration of
troops IN the towns. 1t sounds
ridiculous to say that with a vast
ly superior force they can prob
ably hold these towns yet they
are not entirely free from attacks
by the insurgents
He comes to the conclusion that
neither side can win.

Several persons also testified to
his excellent disposition, and he
was proved to be a great pet

When the judge summed I'D the
case and the jury filed out, the
dog followed them and remained
IN the jury room until he was put
out. The jurors went out at noon
and when court adjourned they
announced that they could not
agree, and were locked up for the
night. At the end of twenty-six
hours they were discharged on a

Tom Watson in Revolt.
New York Sun.

Thomas E. Watson has won the
fight to have the Populist confer
ence which meets in Nashville on
July 4 resolve itself into a conyen-
ton and proceed to reorganize
the party, repudiating Marion
Butler and electing a new national
committee. Chairman Cunning
ham has called convention to
meet on June 22nd in the State of
Georgia at which delegates will be
elected. In the declaration call
ing for such action Mr.. Watson
paper says:
"Let us eliminate three BIS
Bryan, Butler and Bargains.
The first repudiated our Watson,
the second is a traitor, and the
third means fusion. We have had
a surfeit of BIS. The Pops will
hereafter be solid, and death
alone can reduce their numbers.
''The people in their sovereign
capacity can assemble whenever
they choose to do so. All politi-
cal power abides in them and en-
anates from them, and they will
take the initiative whenever thew
please
Speaking Of the fusion last year
the article says:
1t was a death blow which had
been inflicted by the Butler nat
tional committee. It has been a
hard fight to recover the lost
ground, but we never despaired
We have trusted to the return to
their senses of those people after
this passing folly had demon
strated its madness"
The politicians are discussing
the effect of this new stand. There
is no doubt of the influences which
Watson has on thousands of those
who train in the Populist ranks.
The national convention by nam
ing him for Vice-President gave
HIM a stronger hold on the rank
and file than is held by the ma
tlonal committee. He saw that if
he waited until the political cam
paign should roll around again.
the committee would have every
thing stacked against him. TIC
prevent this he proposes in the
present summer of political dull
ness to take the wind out of Mr..
Buffers sails and assume absolute
charge of the party himself.
When the Nashville convention
meets it will be dominated bv
Watson from the start to finish,
and when it's work is concluded
the national committee, which
Mr.. Watson will name, will ask
for the allegiance of the masses of
the party. Watson declares that
IN future campaigns he will neith-
er trade with the Republicans nor
fuse with the Democrats, but that
entering the different campaigns
as a free lance, the Populist party
Will draw votes from all parties
and deliver them to none, SO as
to render the result problematical,
hoping that by rendering the two
great parties merely plurality par
ties, he will force them to- the
adoption of the principles which
he represents.

When to Stop Your PAPER.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican

When you are convinced that a
paper IS dishonest and deceitful.
stop it. When convinced that it
IS unclean, stop it. When it lacks
enterprise and fails to give YOU
the news, stop it. But don t stop
a paper that you believe to be hon
est, courageous, enterprising and
clean simply because its editor
has written his own sincere views
instead of yours or somebody
else's; for if you do, you are put
ting a premium on insincere Jour-
nallsm and serving notice on an
editor that the way to succeed is
to write what he thinks will best
please his readers instead of what
he honestly believes to be the
truth.
