GROWN OFFERED BRYAN.
Asked to Abandon Silver and Invited to
Lead Democracy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The World OF
this morning has adouble-leaded leader
on Mr.. Bryan's future, that viii create
q sensation in Democratic circles. 1t
is nothing less than an acknowledgment
of the leadership of MIR. Bryan, and an
invitation to him to abandon the silver
cause and lead united Democracy on
q platform based on the mistakes OF
the Mckinley administration.
These it sums up as the Ding
ley deficit, the so-called pension ex-
cesses, the Hawaiian job and the i'm
munity of trusts and monopolies. It
also calls the recent exercises of presi-
Dental clemency the''outrageous whole
sale pardoning OF bauk-wreckers.n
The world then defends the present
monetary system as distinctly Ameri'
can scheme of finance, and says it is
extraordinary that man gifted as
Bryan is, with so many qualities Of
leadership. should persistently LOOK
backward rather than forward, instead
of taking his rallying cry from the
lips of the people.
It then declares that the gold Demo
cratic movement is dead, and urge
Bryan to come forward as the leader o
the party in the next campaign. 1t i
an offer of the crown at the price o
treachery to the silver cause.

A GREAT many newspapers howl over
what they profess to believe to be COR
rnption at the polls where negroes vote,
but how will IL be on the Hawaiian is
lands should those islands be annexed
10 the United States and the entire
population be allowed to vote. There
would meyer be clean election on the
Islands. The natives would have q

Republicans, meet TO indorse the Hanna

Republicans, meet TO indorse the Hanna
candidacy.
According TO the best figures, and
allowing all that has been claimed for
Senator Hanna In Hamilton county by
his best friends, the Republican ma
iority on joint ballot Is Is. A change
of eight votes Is necessary 70 defeat
Mr.. Hanna. That change apparently
has been accomplished. The anti-H Hanna
members Of the legislature are pledged
and the program Is arranged. Stories
OF q change Of even more votes are rife.
Mr.. Kurtz, as leader OF the opposi-
tion TO Mr.. Hanna, insists that he will
be able TO deliver IL votes TO defeat
him, with scattering anti-Hanns votes
not counted.
A local bookmaker offered to-day To
lay even money that Hanna will be de-
feated by at least 10 votes, which means
loss OF IS Republican supporters,
Some good judges say that this Ii
conservative and that Hanna may &c,
no more than handful OF votes on the
decisive ballot.
Senator Foraker apparently Ii taking
no hand In the fight, but his friends are
very active, and they could not be con
trolled, even BY Foraker, to the extent
of withdrawing their opposition e
Hanna. IL Is announced that Senator
Hanna will be here next Monday Il
make final plea for party harmony

EXCHANGE THREATS.
The Vice President Tells Foraker that
Hanna Must Be Elected.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The Journals
Washington correspondent says: Sem
ator Hanna's political prospects in Ohio
are of the most desperate character.
The appeals for help which are going
out rend the party air. The admins
tration is being called on to interpose,
even to the extent of threats of war and
political destruction on all who fail to
come into line.
One remarkable instance has Just
come to light. Shortly before the adj
journment of the Senate last Saturday
afternoon, Vice President Hobart call
ed Senator Chandler to the chair and
retired TO his private room, where he
was joined by appointment by three or
four Senators who are high in the coun-
ellis OF the Republican party and who
are close to the administration. This
group then summoned Senator Foraker
to join it. There was ominous gravity
in the situation, depicted on the faces
OF the entire party, for the truth is,
the Hanna situation has come to q
showdown, and the aforementioned
group of gentlemen had met to make a
final appeal to Senator in behalf of the
junior Senator from Ohio.
When Senator Foraker joined the
c0terie, Vice President Hobart opened
the conversation, or negotiation, as il
may be termed, by saying TO Senator
Foraker in a frank but determined
manner:
''Senator Foraker, Mr.. Hanna must
be returned TO the Senate. It is nee
essary for the unity and good of tht
Republican party, and for the assur
ance OF the Senator's great usefulness
to it In the future, as well as In recog
milton Of his services to the party II
the past, that he be reelected to sue
coed himself. 1t has been frequentl,
stated and seems to be believed tina
the opposition to Senator Hanna come,
from your personal and political friends
and now on behalf Of Senator Ham,
and the party at large, ask you to cal
these friends off,"
Senator Foraker was somewhat take,
back by this speech from such an I'M
expected quarter, but recovering him
self, he replied:
Senator Hanna and have had n,
communication upon this subject, but
will take this occasion to say, once TO
all, that what my friends are doing pr,
or con in this matter, is being done o
their own yolition,
ssIn view of this state of the case
these men believing that they have
perfect right to oppose any man in
caucus against whom they have per
sonal grievance-it would be pre-
sumptuous and unyarranted dictatio
on my part to mandatorily do as 20
suggest and call them off, They ar
perfectly familiar with my position ID
ward Senator Hanna, and / have NO
attained to that position In bossisr
where can telegraph my friends t
put their private feelings in thei
pocket ut word from me-
This straightforward statement, mad
in Senator Foraker's coolest but mos
steely tones, seemed TO ruffie the Vic
President, who said:

NO GROUND HOG FOR TWOYEARS.

The Weather Forecaster EsAbolished'
by the "Late'' Legislature.
A Winston man, who was returning
from Raleigh Saturday night, was ac-
costed in Greensboro by a farmer who
wanted to know Ct our citizen If all
the laws passed by the '1ate" General
Assembly had been printed ready for
distribution. The farmer said he was
specially interested in one law that he
had been told the Legislature made.
When questioned about what it was,
he did not know its title but that it.
was in reference to the "ground hog p"
Continuing, the soil-tiller added: Il
am told that the Republicans and
boiling Pops held a caucus. On the
morning of ground hog day, and decid-
ed that it would split the two parties
asuCder to allow winter to break. 1t
was cloudy when the caucus was in
session and it was agreed that the lit
tie weather forecaster would never
see his shadow that day, therefore a
resolution was introduced and passed
without dissenting voice to abolish
the ground hog for two years.
The farmer said the weather for
the past several weeks had led him
TO believe that the causus resolution
became law, therefore he was anx-
iOus to see the proceedings" in order
that he might know when he could
begin farm work.
The Winston man told the farmer
that it would require an extra session
of the General A bly, TO bring the
ground hog back to his former good
standing

A STABBING ARRAY.
Occurred Saturday Night in Yves
Winston.


Occurred Saturday Night in West
Winston.
There is a section in West Winston,
on the Shallow Ford road known as
"Dog Trot." The recent changes in
the town charter brought this ugly
named section inside the corporation.
Out there Saturday night, between
and 9 O'Clock, Frank Hairston, col
ored, while under the influence of
whiskey, made some Of the people In
that section move around lively.
With his knife open he ran VIII Nor
gan, colored, in the house of the lat
ter's mother and stabbed him in the
breast. The blade struck the breast
bone and thereby saved Morgan's life.
The cash cut was about an inch and
a half in length. The wounded man
was attended by DR.. Bynum who sew
ed up the wound.
Morgan is getting along all right
and expects to be able to attend trial
before the Mayor this afternoon.
Hairston claims that he was mis-
taken in his man when he cnt Nor
gan. 1t was another fellow he was
sfter.
Hairst0n is in jail. He was arrest
ed about O'Clock Sunday morning by
officers White and Poindexter. 1t is
charged that the prisoner stated after
his arrest that he would have made
somebody "pass over the river" before
his arrest il he had had pistol.
One of the parties who witnessed
the trouble told an officer that Hairs
ton had an axe and when they closed
the door in his face he sent the blade
of the axe through it.
1T is a case for the jury" as the
lawyers say and HairsLon will no
doubt have to pay heavy fine OF
shovel dirt on the county roads for
his meanness Saturday night.

WINSTON-SALEM DISTRICT.
Chistian Endeavor Convention Next
Saturday and Sunday.

Ch1St1an EndeaVOr convention Next
Saturday and Sunday.
Rev. A. D. Th8ler, President of the
North Carolina Christian Endeavor
Association, announces that the Win
ston-Salem district, embracing For
syth and the adjoining counties, will
hold it's Convention on Saturday even
ing and Sunday, March 9th and 18th,
in Winston-Salem Invitations have
already been sent to all the known
Societies. The first session Of this
District Convention will be held in
urday evening, March 9th, at 1870
O'Clock. Then, on Sunday morning,
at ii o'clock, the second session will
be held at Calvary Moravian church,
In Winston. And in the afternoon,
at o'clock, the third session will be
held in the Home Church, closing
probably little before o'clock.
Mr.. Th8ler says: Now, it may not
be possible for many Of the Moravian
Endeavorers to go to Charlotte, but
there are none who cannot come to
Winston-Salem. If those who would
like to attend all the services will at
once send their names to Mr.. w. T.
Spaugh, of Salem, Chairman of the
Committee of Arrangements, free en-
tertainment will be provided for them.
The Convention has been put on Sat-
urday and Sunday purposely to &C.
commodate the Ehdeavorers in the
country, who could not well attend at
any other time. So it is hoped that
many will avail themselves of the OPP
portunity.
This Convention is designed to be
the most helpful possible, and so the
time is net simply filled up by ad-
dresses, but reports of success or diff
Guilty will be called for from the Socie-
ties, and an open "question-box" will
be prominent features. This is not
only, let it be remembered, Morav-
ian gathering, but it is an interdenom-
national Convention, and the homes
and hearts of Winstou-Salem Endeav-
orers will, therefore, be wide open to
welcome all their guests.

time, is not the result of accumulated wears;
is the effect of wrong living and unhealthy
blood. When the blood is pure and fresh
the body will be full of youth
Thousands of people who seemed to have
lost their youth by disease and suffering
have found it again through the use of DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
most perfectly natural and scientific rejuve-
nator of the physical forces ever known to
medical science.
1t gives the blood making organs power to
make new blood, full of the life giving red
corpuscles which drive out disease build
up fresh tissue, solid muscular flesh and
healthy nerve force. It gives constitutional
power, deep and full and strong; rounds
out hollow cheeks and emaciated forms;
gives plumpness, color and animation.
1t does not make habby fat like cod liver
oil. On this account, it is perfect tonic
for corpulent people.
1t aids digestion and the natural action of
the liver, and by feeding the nerves with
highly vitalized blood banishes nervous
ness, neuralgia and insomnia.
Where constipated condition exists, the
Discovery should be used in conjunction
with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which are
the most perfect, mild and natural laxative
in the world. There is nothing else lust
as good" There is nothing that will do the
work SO thoroughly, surely and comfortably.
