A STRIKING contrast between the
Republican and Democratic parties
was presented by Mr.. Bailey, of Tex
as, in bis speech upon the iniauitous,
trust-fostering tariff bill. For in
stance, Mr.. Bailey said: 81 only plead
in defence of the Democratic party
for having said that In dealing with
this question it shall keep its pledges
that none shall enjoy a special favor,
nor shall any suffer for special bur-
den; but that all shall stand equal
before the law" This is Democratic
doctrine. How different has been the
practice of the Republican party,
which has dealt out 81 e ,ial favors
and TO classes which needed them
least.

The Greatest Need.
Biblical Recorder.

Our only reason for ardentIy advo-
eating local to xation for our public
schools is that we are profoundly
convinced that local taxation is the
only way to build up an adequate
school system i'll North Carolina; and
the greatest need of North Carolina,
politically, religiously and inGustri
ally, is an adequate school system.
There are many considerable objec-
tions, many great obstacles; but
when we consider that if the present
effort tails, the Improvement OF our
schools will be delayed ten years, we
overlook the objections and resolve
to overcome the obstacles If any
one will consider the matter serious
ly, he will come to this conclusion
notwithstanding his prejudices.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the ianguid, exhausted feeling
prevails, when the liver is torpid and slug
gish and the need of tonic and alternative is
felt A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system from
the malariaf poison. Head ,che, indiges-

Low Prices To the Fore fgners

Low Frfces 10 the Fore 1gners.
From the Minneapolis Times.
At the very time that our manu-
facturers are demanding increased
protection against foreigners they
are selling to foreigners cheaper than
they sell at home. How is it that
American steel rails are worth less
mile outside of our coast line than
they are on our wharves? How is it
that our coal is sold for so cents a
ton less in L amburg than in New
York? Instead of an increase of tar
iff taxes, why should we not have fair
trade prices at home as well as
abroad?

ance of the County Mass Meeting of
Sunday Schools, to be held in this
city, on August Goth, the last day of
the State Sunday School Convention.
A full representation of the Sunday
Schools of the county in line of

bands of music, would be a grand
and inspiring scene, the effects of
which upon the important cause
would be felt in the future. Then.
too, it is designed that the mass
meeting shall be an occasion of in
terest and profit-a time when ideas
may be gathered from men of ex
perience that will prove helpful to the
workers. Talk the matter among
your neighbors and in your schools
and get everybody thoroughly inter
ested who desires the advancement
of d work that is such a vital adjunct
to the church. Then let US, in every
sense of the term, have a grand rally
on the Goth of August.

Girl Week to Pick Black berries, Was
Assaulted and Murdered.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 13.-The
story of a brutal murder comes from
West Point, Tenn. Miss Rennie
Williams went to the woods to pick
blackberries. Failing to return q
search was instituted, resulting in
the finding of the dead and mangled
body in the woods tied to bush.
There were evidences of terrible
struggle, indicating that the girl had
been criminally assaulted and beaten
to death. If the murderer is run

RUSHED IN AND OUT.

The President much talked of cur
rency message saw the light during the
closing hours of the special session of
Congress, but was quickly relegated
to the darkness of a Senate pigeon
hole, Notwithstanding the document
contained this paragraph: "This
subject should receive the attention
of Congress at it's special session. 1t
ought not to be postponed until the
regular session"
AS the message was not sent IN
until the last day, the idea seems to
have been to rush il through Con-
gress. This was practically done by
the House, by the adoption of the
Stone bill, but the Senate referred it
to the Finance Committee and then
adjourned.
The President recommends the
appointment of non partisan COM
mission to point out what changes
may be necessary in our banking and
currency laws, etc. We think there
is little benefit to be expected from
the appointment of such a commits
sion. The personnel of a "non-par-
tisan" commission appointed by a
gold bug Republican Congress would
afford but little, if any, hope to the
friends of free coinage. An analysis
of the Presidents message indicates
such a result. Hewarmly commends
the report of the Indianapolis none
tary conference and that report de
clares, first of all, that the present
gold standard shall be maintained
