WHAT WILL THE LEGISLATURE DO?

The legislators are receiving much adj
vice from press and people The wise
ones receive the advice from all sources
gladly, weigh all the suggestions, and
solicit the views of thoughtful men
who are interested that the Legislature
shall act so wisely that the party will
be strengthened and the people helped.
Many good measures will be suggest
ed which the Legislature cannot PIT into
execution. In a short session of sixty
days there is not time TO consider any
legislation however good in itBself, for
which public sentiment has not marked
out the way. The Legislature will be
engrossed with questions affecting suf-
frage, election laws, retrenchment edu-
cation and like important matters. 1t
cannot leave them to enter upon re-
forms not yet demanded by the jeople.
Parties who are agitating new measures,
such, for example, as Il compulsory
school law and a complete change in
the road and taxation system, ought not
to expect the Legislature to be able to
pass statutes covering these matters.
The Legislature that meets in Raleigh
in January is pledged by the State plat
form to do very few things, but the

THE CHURCH STANDS TRUE.


The resolutions passed by the Method
list Conference at Elizabeth City were
better than those passed at the Win
ston Conference. At Winston there was
no denunciation of Stahlman or criticism
of Barbee and Smith. whereas at Eliza
beth City the resolutions declared that
Stahlman ''openly deceived certain SEN
ators'' and Barbee and Smith did not
express the whole truth and they We're
condemned for 1.-THE want of candor.' 1t
would have been better solution of the
matter to have adopted the resolution
advocated by DIR. Yates and Rev. John
y. Cole, but the resolutions as they
stand ring clear and true.
SO far as North Carolina Methodists
have gone ON record, they oppose taking
this ''tained money! ana the desire for
S2SS, 900 has not blunted the conscience
of the church. Having condemned Bar
bee and Smith for want of candor" and
for keeping back part of the truth, the
church will next elect agents above criti-
cism. 1t would be happy solution if
these agents, whose conduct has
brought censure upon them and injury
to the church, would retire.

Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh.
The Severity of this Dis.
ease Increases Each
Wznter.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold
and unpleasant weather aggravates
the disease and it is during the winter
season that it's severest form is felt.
Each succeeding year seems to IN
tensify the disease, so that it gradually
fastens it's hold upon the sufferer with
a grasp that becomes firmer each sea-
son.
Catarrh often appears as only cold
Mt first, and is hardly noticed. But
gradually the cold returns, and it is
more difficult to cure, and stays longer
than formerly. These symptoms can
not be mistaken; they mark the first
appearance Of disease that will de-
veiop in severity and stubbornness,a and
which it is impossible to cure with the
local treatment Of sprays, washes, and
similar applications. Being a disease
OF the blood, only blood remedy can
have the slightest effect upon it. S.S.S.
(Swift's Specified is the only cure for
Catarrh, because it is the only blood
remedy which goes to the seat of all OBJ
stinate cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr.. T. A. Williams, a leading mer-
chant of Spartanburg, s. c., writes:
"For four years / had nasal catarrh,
and though the case was mild one at
first, it was not long until / noticed that
it was gradually growing worse. OF

class physicians, but their remedies

There IN no doubt about the fact that

Now we are going to tell them some

coming. 1t will come through the next

Additional Testimony as to
the Merits of
Mrs. Joe Persons
RENE dy.

4 gentlemen remarked recently that
had n stranger or an outsider come to
North Carolina, and made the cures
among our people that Mrs. Joe Person $
Remedy had made, the people would
have been stirred as never before. Read
this and suppose case:
Eleven years ago l had child that
was delicate from Dirtn, and for SIX
months she was under constant care OF
the hest physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed poweress to
control the bowel trouble, which had
become chronic dysentery. She also
suffered from some aggravated blood
trouble, which caused large sores and
risings to break out on her body. Oft
time there would be as many as ~ or
%. We had several doctors to treat her
at different times, but nothing reached
her case. They would lance these ris-
ings. but as soon rs one was cured an
other broke out. and the doctors gave
me no hope Of her cure. After she had
led n life of agony and suffering for
six months. | was inspired to try Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy. There was a
change for the better in twenty-fOur
hours, it seemed to check the bowels at
once. and after using a few bottles my
child was entirely cured. and has never
since had any sign of the troubles, and
is now in perfect health. A few years
after this | had two sores to break out
on my ankle. and strange to say L dld
not think of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.

wears. but the sores continued to get
worse until they had eaten to the bone.

pledge to do those things is q sacred
one. Before other measures, unmistak-
ably demanded by the popular voice, are
even considered, the Legislature will
take up the platform promises and enact
them into statutes. Every member of
the Legislature is committed to vote
for bills that will carry out the follow
ing declarations in the State platform:
We denounee the scandal, eXtraya-
gance. incompetency and corruption OF
the present Republican State admins
tration.
We denounce all enactments of the last
two Legislatures by which cities aud
towns in the State have been turned
over to negro domination. and we pledge
ourselves TO enact such laws as VIII give
security and protection to the property
and people of every town and commune
ty in the State.
We denouncc the placing Of negroes on
committees to supervise white schools.
and we pledge ourselves. If restored to
power. TO enact such legislation as will
make this impossible.
We denouuoe all legislation enacted by
the Legislatures Of 1890 and 1897 for
carrying out the base and partisan de.
signs of the Republican party.
We dcnounce the placing of ignorant.
irresponsible and corrupt men in office.
We oppose the removal 10y corporations
of suits or eases from our State 10 the
Federal courts, and favor legislation TO
prevent it.
We favor fair and just election laws.
We favor a government of the people,
10y the people and for the people
economy in expenditure. the abolition OF
unnecessary offices. deccncy in admins
tration. constant Improvement IN our
educational system. charity 10 the UNI
fortunate. and rule by the white men OF
the State,
We favor the extension of the powers
of the Railroad Commission, and closer
scrutiny into their affairs in order TO as
certain. establish and maintain Sach
rates as shall be fair and just TO the
people and TO the transportation and
corporations.
We condemn free passes.
We favor the election of United States
Senators and Railroad Commissioners
by the people.
We favor the enactment of such legis-
investments within our State, and guar
antee that the same shall be justly pro-
tected.
No party can enjoy the continued con-
fdence of the people unless it keeps its
promises. This Legislature may do an
hundred good things. but if it fails to
keep single one of the above sacred
pledges it will to that extent prove un-
worthy of the signal vote of confidence
given by the voters. Rather than fail
to carry out every promise, even the
least one made. it will be better if the
Legislature omits doing many good
things which were not promised. ''The
