And not enough O. veal.
Be careful that ye make nae strife,

For We will find enough to do
If We but look at hame.
If We should feel like picking flaws,

And read the Book that tells ye all
About the mote and beam.

Nor mock it with your mirth;
But give We kindly sympathy

QUICK AND DECISIVE.

In his weekly letter Henry Clews says
that war has driven out the outside
element in speculation and business IS
almost entirely confined to quick in-and-
out operation, the result being that deal
ings have contracted to about one third
of their normal volume" Mr.. Clews
is for an early termination of war, writ
ing wisely when he says
War with Spain should be prosecuted
with yigor to bring it to a speedy termi-
nation. For nation like this to fight
a feeble one like Spain will bring no
credit unless it is done quickly, as the
Germans whipped France in their last
war Within week the Germans were
in Paris to demand an indemnity and got
it on their own terms and in cash too.
1t would be worth our while to fight
such a nation rs France in place of
a bankrupt nation like Spain, because an
indemnity would compensate us, which
il will be impossible to obtain from
Spain under any circumstances; so that
the only prospect of gaining glory will
be in conquering Spain quickly"

FOOLED ME- EVERY TINE"

Mr.. A. T.. Harris. of Middle Greek
township, Wake county, who has been
a Populist for several years, in n private
conversation with neighbor Il few days
ago, said:
Il went into the movement believing
in the promise of better government
but they have fooled me every time
The tendency has been downward.
Hereafter every drop of blood that flows
through my veins will be Democratic"
This is-thc -utterance that becomes a
man who sincerely desires good govern
ment at home. ''They have fooled hon
6st men whenever they have led them
into an alliance with Republicans and
negroes. There is no tendency that is
not downward among Southern Republi-
cans. Whenever they control, scandals,
jobbery and a low tone prevails. We
have tried them twice in North Caro-
lima. in 1868. when they had full swing,
and from 1894 TO date when
they have been in power under
fusion with Populsts. Both
times they have been corrupt, extra
VACANT. and brought disgrace upon the
State. There can be no decent govern
ment in North Carolina that is in
fiucnced or touched by the Republican
party.
Before November, as the venality and
corruption of this negro-dominated
government is fully understood, there
win be many more men who win follow
tie good example of this Wake county
farmer.

THIS IS OUR COUNTRY"

The State militia of South Carolina has
not been responding very well to the
call for volunteers. At meeting OF
the Confederate veterans in Charleston a
few days ago, Gen. Hampton made a
speech in the course of which he said:
MY old comrades, we know what war
is. / do not hesitate to say that l re-
greet the one upon which we are now
entering. But you are South Caroll-
mans; you are sons of the men who nave
shed immortal glory on the Palmetto
flag in the past, and | would rather die
than think that South Carolina would
not respond to- the call made upon her
for volunteers.
And old as / am / can still ride on
horseback and WELD sword; and If
South Carolina s quota is not filled, If
there is one name lacking to make it
full, / myself will volunteer. This is
our country, and it is our duty TO make
it the champion Of freedom for all time
to come"
1t is to men of this spirit that monu-
ments are erected by patriotic men and
women. ''This is our country and it is
our duty to make it the champion of
freedom for all time to come" is a
sentiment that ought to be uppermost
in every breast at time like this.
