BIMErALLISTS SHOULD HAIR
MONIZE.
A Letter From Chairman Jones to Judge
Avery Urging Cooperation.
(Morganton Herald.l

tMOfgant0n derald.)
The following letter was received on
Tuesday by Judge Avery from the Hon.
James *. Jones, chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee. 1t VIII no
doubt prove of interest to the advocates
of bimetallism throughout this state.
Judge Avery authorizes us to state that
he heartily approves of the sentiment
and suggestions contained therein:

"Hon. A. G. Avery, MOrganton, n. T.:
My Dear Sir: If we hope to succeed
in the great struggle of 1900 1T rs abH0-
Iutely necessary to have the cordial
cooperation of all believers in bi-metal-
lism. The Republicans are industrlously
now endeavoring to SOW seeds of dissen-
Sion amongst the different organizations
of bimetallism, and | am sorry to see
in some localities that they are succeed
ing. 1t seems that in some sections of
the country our friends are losing sight
of the wider and greater effect of their
action and are confirming their attention
only to the present advantage to be
gained by the getting of few offices.
| sincerely hope that in North Caro-
lima all bimetallists will cooperate in
bringing about the best possible state of
feeling amongst themselves and towards
each other and determination to rescue
that State from the domination of the
Republicans. 1t is exceedingly import
ant that broad, strong men 90 to the
State convention as delegates wherever
it is possible to do so. to influence that
body in taking the course which will he
most beneficial to the cause in 1909.
The most determined efforts are being
made now by the Republican National
Committee to prevent the success of the
line of cooperation marked out in the
address issued by Towne, Butler and
me. They feel that this cooperation
means humiliation for them. 1t has GER
tainly seemed to us that this should be
effected as it has to them that it should
be prevented. | would be glad to have
your views Of the situation in your State,
and sincerely hope that the party may
be thoroughly aroused to the import
ance of wise action in this connection.

The Siberian trader, knowing his

take a kopek of money with him, but
he drags behind him well-stuffed

Very Clever Girl.

\ young woman with a pretty little
voice, but with no great possibilities in
her singing has laid out course for
herself which is SO decidedly shrewd
that it may well be worth noting. She
dcvOtes herself entirely to Scotch
songs, most of them the old ones of
Burns or Scott. Now. every listener,
except the scvcrcSt musical critic whom
she could not hope to satisfy in any
ease, Is sentimental and likes to have
that sentiment catered to by means of
the ear. The singer has taste and wit
enough to eschew Annie Laurie" and
Comm Thro' the Rye" save "by re-
quest when her compliance gives an
added charm of kindness. She hunts
up sweet old tunes and pathetic words
and after the most brilliant perform
ancc of her rivals She seats herself at
the piano. and, like the heroine in the
lackadaisical novel, she charms her
audience by running her fingers over
the keys and singing softly "some
dear old song" or other. All, that is n
very clever girl.

suggests, is of Africa origin, and is
substitute for both corn and wheat.
For two or three years past the depart
mcnt of agriculture has been expert

peculiarly adapted to the drought
stricken region of the west, where a
crop of Indian corn cannot be realized

that the advocates Of the new cereal
claim for it proves true, it will prove a
boon. indeed, to the dry district, and
may even drive out its eighth and great

In appearance, kaflir seems to be
cross between corn and sorghum. Its
season for growth is about the same as
that Cf native corn. and it is cultivated
ia much the same manner. The stalk

The Sussex Republican Of George
town joins in tho movement to induce
the members of tho coming Legislature
10 stay in Dover ut nights during the
session, instead Of rushing away to
their homes each evening. The main
work Of s.ll Legislative bodies, ii says,
'is transacted in committees. Com
mitteos cannot very we'll meet during
the day, beca,ise Of the daily sessions
Of the Legislature, and u great deni Of
the work could and should BIO dono after
Legislative hours. This has been pre-
vented heretofore by the absence Of
the members, who have made it a
practice to rush of to their homes as
soon as the Legislatures adiourns and
in many instances The hours OF this
session have been shortened to permit
the members to catch tho train. Tho
members have been furnished passes
over the railroad and are therefore able
to travel without expense 10 them
selves. We hope tho present Legis
lature which is Republican one u.
far as the House OF Representatives il
concerned, win put stop to thcss
practices. They arc sent to the Lesis
lature TO transact the busiEoss coming
before that body and are paid to STAY
IN Dover and intend to business, ans
not to tire themselves out by running
up and down the railroad and vast,
the time which in fact belongs to tn,
people Of the State. We are in hope
that the members from this county vii
have enough independence to declino
pass from the railroad company an,
stay in Dover and transact the bust
ness as expeditiously as possible an,

to themselves and tho State and thei

Death 81 = uosssasr ioha !. coenrsn.

bnntn ~ cA-AnNfFHtf tphu ". NVtHtNu-
h lf'hasdsita was announced Monday,
Of John p. Cochran, q former gov
erhor OF Delaware, in the Doth year OF
his. age.
Mr., Cochran was emphatically one Of
tho public men Of this State. and one
whosn influence was exerted for the
public good along excellent lines. He
was an intelligent, progressive farmer,
aud hy his good management bepnme
ono Of the largest landholdars in the
State.
Although he held bnt two offices
Levy Court commissioner and COVER
nor Mr., Cochran's interest IN public
affairs was continuous. lIe WAS never
an oflice-scelser, believing that he could
do moro good in other lines. His ae-
cession 10 the chair Of the State was
duo to i general feeling on the part Of
his fellow Democrats OF New Castls
county that The county was entitled to
the honor, and that Mr.. Cochran was
the man for the place. Upon this issue
the campaign was urged, and he was
nominated for governor by the Demo
cratic convention and subsequently,
| elected.
Governor Coohran's administration
made its impress upon the history Of
| the State. He used the influence OF his
ultico towards tho securing Of good
legislation, and was largely instru-
mental in stemming tide that was
thon sweeping with decided reckless
moss in the direction Of State aid to
railroad enterprises having lean
| started upon several years previous and
heing regarded as Of doubtful propriety.
| His good Judgment IN appointments to
public Office is attested BY the ract that
he made the late Joseph I, Co,negys
| Chief Justice Of Delaware, although
political considerations ut that time
would have dictated another selection.
Personally, Mr. Cochran was a man o
genial temperament and atfable man
| ners, q veritable gentleman Of tho ole
| school, He had many friends e
whom the news Of his death will com,
| most painfully, although their sorrow
| will be mitigated by the fact that h,
lived for long whilo beyond til,
allotted span, and was blessed with
sound mind in sound body, thus beini
relieved to remarkable extent from
the average intirmities and suffering
of old age.
