A CLEAR, TRUE STATEMENT
(Kinston Free Press.)

Some of the State papers continue to
discuss what the Democratic State
platform shall contain next time We
have never doubted for a moment that
it will emphatically reiterate the decla-
rations of the Chicago platform. The ma
tional Democracy will make the same
fight as in the last campaign and we be-
lieve will gain strength in such over
whelming numbers that Hanna's hired
ballot-box thieves can't steal the cleo
ton, as was done the last time We be-
ieve this, and we think most North
Caroinians hold the same opinion.
Therefore North Carolina Democrats
must put themselves in line for the ma
tional contest to come

THREATENED TO KILL
A DEPOSITOR IN THE ASHEVlLLE BANK
WANTS TO KILL BANK PRESIDENT.
A Deposition, Confirmed Invalid, Sent to Jail
Because He Refused to Give Bond
to Keep the Peace.
"a Sheville CitizenD

One of the dcpositors of the failed
bank was DR.. C. r. Fisher. This morn
ing DR.. Fisher heard of the suspension
and threatened to shoot President Lewis
MadduX. A warrant for the arrest of
Dr. Fisher was sworn out and was about
noon executed by Deputy Sheriff Nc
Donald. The hearing was before JUS
tice A. T. Summey, the witnesses being
e. G. Chambers, \. Il. Ogburn and w.
a. Boyce Each of the witnesses veri-
fed the complaint set forth in the war
rant, and DIR. Fisher admitted that he
had made the threat. r. II. Cobb. at
torney for Mr.. MadduX, endeavored to
induce DIR. Fisher to disclose what he
meant by making the threat, or if he
still meant to execute it. DR.. Fisher de-
cined to make any statement and SAID
he did not care what the court did with
him; that he had lost all he had in the
world, health, family and all, and that
if the court wanted to string him up he
would not object.
Justice Summey asked if he could give
peace bond and receiving a negative
reply. DIR. Fisher was given into the
custody of Deputy Sheriff Mcdonald and
was by him committed.
DIR. Fisher is apparently a confirmed
invalid and confinement will probably go
hard with him. He can eat only espe-
cially prepared diet.

A BLESSING TO THE BABIES OF
THE POOR. AN ENTERPRISE
THAT SHOULD BE FOSTERED.

The prospect is very encouraging that
the distribution of pasteurized milk,
devoid of all microbic germs, among the
children of the poor at a nominal price,
will become general in the large cities Of
the United States. While this beneyo-
lence will be a blessing to the babies,
our adult population enjoy an equally
great one in the benefit conferred by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon per-
sons afflicted with kidney and bladder
complaint. Danger from Bright's dis
ease and diabetes is surely averted by
this admirable preventive, which is also
a safeguard against malarial fever and
rheumatism. and thorough remedy for
dyspepsia. constipation, liver complaint,
and nervousness. Diseases, insignificant
at the outset, enlarge their proportions
and capacity for destruction through
neglect. Another point of Importance in
using this sterling remedy is, that it
should be taken with regularity and per-
sistence.

MIR. BRYAN HAS AGED.
NASHVILLE American.)

Those who remember Mr.. Bryan on
his first appearance in Nashville at
Watkins Institute two years ago notice
that he has changed materially in APP
pearance since that time The bloom of
youth has given place TO the more rug
ged complexion of middle age; his locks
are much thinner and wrinkles not then
visible are now very apparent in his ia
cial lines. Mr.. Bryan has still a splen-
did physique and his capacity for work
seems immense. There is no letting
down in his powers, physical or other
wise, and we hope will not be for many
years, but the great strain and great re-
sponsibility that has been placed on the
young Nebraskan since his nomination
at Chicago is changing the enthusiastic
youth into the grave man.

UNDERSTANDABLE TICKETS.
Springfield Republican,

1t has been decided by the Michigan
Suprem Court that the Legislature has
constitutional power to compel railroads
to sell 1,000-mile tickets for $40, good
for any member of a family, but not
otherwise transferable. There ought to
be no question about that in the case of
any road which voluntarily sells such
tickets at the price named; and this
road might fairly be compelled to sell
such tickets and honor them for passage
when presented by anybody beside the
purchaser. But roads which can afford
to make 2-cent rate for buyers Of mile
age books can afford to make the same
rate to buyers of any smaller quantity
of mileage. The wholesale and retail
principle should have no place in railway
passenger travel.
