Whose Paper Do You Read 7?

A striking example of how unpleas-
ant for one to be obliged to lend their
home newspaper was illustrated one
day last week when one of our regular
subscribers called and asked if we
could not get Mrs family to sub
scribe for the Democrat When asked
her particular reason tor this singular
request she answered, that the family
whose name we Withhold for reasons
best known to ourselves, was continu-
ally borrowing their paper and at just
the time when her husband could get
the time to read it. 1t is disagree.
able thing to refuse neighbor the
loan ofa home paper, and also very
unpleasant to be bothered by selfish

Installation and Banquet.

The officers of the Driftwood Lodge,
No. 332, A. Y. NJ, were installed last
evening by w. II. Howard, acting

After the installation exercises an ele-
CANT banquet had been prepared by
mine host Thos. j. Riley, at the Com

the invited guests. The tables were
elaborately decorated for the occasion

surrounding the tables.

After doing ample justice to the
spread, Toast Master, P. M, Capt.
@. F. Barclay, took charge of the pro-
gram and called upon several members,
who made appropriate remarks to the
occasion. An hour was pleasantly pass
ed and the several toasts were well re-
ceived and heartily applauded. The
Emporium delegation returned this
morning, delighted with the hospitable
treatment received from their Drift
wood brethren, who never can do too
much to make their friends feel at
home.

To the Churches.

The professed object of all churches
is primarily to save souls; incidentally
the elevation of man, morally, socially,
intellectually. How best can this be
done? The churches must get the
people to come to them, or they must
adopt the methods of the Salvation
Army-go to them, open their meet
ings III the streets and slums, pick
their subjects from the saloons and
cutters, clean them, convice them,
convert them. Can the churches eX-
pect to get the masses to come to their
places of worship when they know
that the expense Of supporting the
institution. if divided in accordance
with the ability of each attendant,
would be more than they could pay,
to say nothing of the many charities
to which the church is expected and
in a sense obligated to contribute.
But if this question did not influence
could the church expect to get the
masses from the streets, the saloons,
the green meadows, the apple orchards,
the vineyards, or even the snow clad
hill-sides to sit with fifty or hundred
people to hear a sermon such as the
smartest and most eloquent of preach
ers could deliver to empty peWs. ~

Here's a Bit of Sound Advice,

Every workingman ought to belong
to a fraternal order of some kind that
pays life insurance. The unfortunate
oil we'll worker whose career was cut
short yesterday by the explosion Of a
boiler, leaves a wife and three children
in destitute circumstances If the man
had belonged to an order of the kind
referred to, the family would not be
forced to endure the privations which
confront them. m.-Bradford Era.

How little we think when we offer our help
Some other ones doorway to mind,
That if we'd but look would find our own

Needs sweeping, the very worst kind.
But the weeds in the yard of our neighbors and

Look very muck worse than our own;
So ours are neglected, with never a thought,
Till to fearful proportions they've grown
We think we are doing neighborly deed.
When the faihngs OF others we tell
Not thinking, of course, that others may see
In our lives, the same failings as well.
Let us see that our own yards are perfectly

Let us dig our weeds and mend our own ways,

ALL Is PERFECTLY NATURAL.

Ex-Democratic State Chairman Pou,
has joined ex-DemOcratic State Chair
man Simmons in opposing Mr.. Bryan's
plan of cooperation. This is perfect
~ natural. Pou and simmons are
both high muck-amucks In the Ran
som machine. They are both more in
sympathy with Grover Cleveland than
with w. J. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan has &C.
curately described both of them when
picturing the kind of men VINO claim
to be for the principles of Jefferson
yet who always oppose any way of sue
cessfully putting those principles into
operation.
It will be remembered that Mr.. Pou
was State Chairman in 1894 when Ran
som was a candidate for re election
Mr.. Pou was a Ransom and Cleveland
man then; he IS Ransom and Cleve
land man now.
The Charlotte Observer and the Raj
eigh Post are the leading gold an,
railroad organs in the State. Pou
Simmons and Waddell are pulling will
these papers. OF course they are al
fighting Mr.. Bryan, either openly o
covertly.
This is all perfectly natural; but i
is strange to see the Progressive Far
mer joining this outfit and helpin;
them to accomplish their purpose.

ONE WORD OF WARNING.

THE CAUCASIAN takes the liberty of
giving one word of warning. When
our county convention meets be sure
that every man who is elected a dele
gate is a true Populist, a man who
puts the principles of his party and
the welfare Of his country above all
other considerations. At nearly every
county convention there will be some
one to make . proposition in the in
terest of Harmony" that some or at
least one OF the boiling Populists (wbo
have shown their preference for mo-
nopOly) shall be put on as a delegate.
Suppose certain county convention
elects fifteen delegates, the PROPOSE.
ton will be that the majority of the
true Populists ought to give at least
one out Of the fifteen to the boilers. If
this is done what will happen? We
all know that from hardly . single
county will the whole number of dele
gateg elected come to the State con-
yention. Probably only two or three
or may be not more than one or two will
come. Butof one thing you may rest

The Progressive Farmer in it's is
sue two weeks ago made very uncalled
for, a very unwise, and a very untrue
attack upon. Senator Butler. In it's
last issue it made an equally unjust
and untrue attack on the editor of the
Hickory Mercury. 1t is not our pur-
pose to reply to these attacks of the
Progressive Farmer, further than to
ask question and emphasize a fact.
Question: Can it be unwise and I'M
patriotic in the Hickory Mercury and
Senator Butter to seek to unite all Of
the forces and factions opposed to the
domination of gold and monopoly for
the purpose Of securing the financial
reforms for which the Popullst have
always commended?
The fact We wish to emphasis il
that the Progressive Farmer wants all
Populists in the future to act with the
Republican party for the division Of
