Amendment Will Carry.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Raleigh News and Observer.
The Waynesville Courier has
not heard Of a single Democrat in
Haywood county who will oppose
the amendment. During the past
week, the editor of this paper has
talked with hundreds of people,
representing all callings and sec
tiuns, about the amendment, and
has been gratified to learn that it
is strong in every part Of the
State. There are hundreds of Re-
publicans and thousands of Pops
ulists who will be true to their
race in spite of the orders of
oMce-seeking political bosses.
That is the news from Haywood
to hyde. But the Demo Gratis
must work for $1,000 majority.
It can be had if the amendment
is correctly explained to all
white voters. Hannaites will lie
and lie and lie. The truth is the
only weapon to use against them.

Hon. f. M.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
Hon. F. M. Simmons, the eff.
| cient chail man Of the Democratic
Stats Committee. published a let
ter in the Asheville Citizen rela-
tive to the United States Senate.
He would like to be chosen to
succeed Marion Butler, but be-
lieves that the chief duty of North
Carolinians in this crisis is first to
pass the amendment, to the suc-
cess of which he will give his best
energies of mind and body. This
declaration of purpose is COM
mendable and worthy of emula-
ton. We give his own words:
"But there is now pending be-
fore the people a question which,
overshadows the question of who
shall fill this Office, Or any Office,
and all offices, upon which de.
ponds in a very large degree, the
future prosperity of the State,
and until that question is settled,
there should be no dividing or
distracting scramble over this Of
fec. To the Gee of this great
and benefcent measure I shall de-
vote all of such time as l can
spare from whet is to me the nec-
essary work of making a living,
and leave the people to make
their own selection of a Senator
and in such manner as they may
think wise and proper"
The Messenger does not engage
in the business of nominating, but
it may say that Mr.. Simmons is a
man of ability, an Unwavering
Democrat, and merits well at the
hands of the party.

O S IN Ii SNOW
Eight Sheep Herders Perish AND
Fifteen Others Given up.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 23.-For
five days last week snow came
down almost increasingly. At the
town of Choteau, the county
seat of Teton county, it was ten
to twelve feet deep in drifts and
at least three feet on the level.
The bodies of eigh sheep herders
have already been found in Tet-
on county, and fifteen other
herders who are missing have
been given up for lost. The loss
of life will exceed twenty per-
sons in Teton county, and 20, 900
sheep persisted in the storm.

Favorable in Both States.

NsVA0U Al 0UtM 0G1OCS.
Chicago, Oct, 23.-William j.
Bryan was in the city a few min
utes last evening on his way from
Kentucky to Nebraska.
81 found the conditions in Ken-
lucky and Ohio most encourag-
ing.' said M. Bryan. every
where | spoke the crowds were
large and were most enthusiastic.
L believe the outlook in those
States is favorable for Demo-
cratic victory. The demonstrations
against Imperialism were strong,
but I could not see that the peo-
pie were more interested in that
than in other issues discussed"
Mr.. Bryan explained that the
Kisses in his audience at Findley,
Ohio, came from a few persons
who had remained after a concert
at the theatre to lear him.

The pastiIle IL of far later origin, hav-
ing been invented and introduced into
France by an Italian confectioner, the
Florentine John Pastilla, a protege OF
the Medicis. When Maria de Medici
married Henry Nv. Of France, Pastilla
accompanied his sovereign to the
French court, where his bonbons had Q
tremendous vogue. Everybody wanted
the Florentine's pastilles, and, strange
to say, they were perfection from the
very beginning. He made them with
all kinds Of navors-chocolate. coffee,
rose, violet, mint, wine, strawberry,
raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope, carna'

Burnt almonds are purely of French
,rigin, owing their inception to the glut.

day Marshal Duplessis- Pralin, an old
gourmet, sent for Lassagne, his chief
confectioner, and promised him a great
price for some new sweet that would
please his palate. dulled as it was by all
the pleasures of the table. Lassagne
who had already invented many q
toothsome dainty, was a man Of re

combined, until finally he conceived 9

riously with the name of his master
Praline, the French for burnt almond.

Expanding Our Language.

Some new words have necessarily
been added to the English language
since the Introduction Of the hOrseless
carriage, and the vocabularies of other
tongues have also naturally been simil-
arly enriched In all countries where
such carriages have become popular.
With few exceptions all these words
are technical, and their true signih-
cance is only understood by the electri-
Of the Flemish Academy Of Anvers re-
Gently determined to frame a word
which would be readily Ineligible to
all who understand the language of
Flanders and who had ever seen q
horseless carriage, and the result was
that after much deep thought they
framed the following word:
Sn e p aardelooszonderspoorwegpe-
trolrijtuig.
This euphonious word signifles "a
carriage which ID worked by means of
petroleum, which travels fast, which
has no horses, and which Is not run on
rails" This is, from one point of view,
q fine example Of multum in parvo, but
1t may be questioned whether one ex.
traordinarily long word is preferable
to half q dozen short words. The
Flemish people, however, think differ.
emily, and the academicians Of Anvers
have been highly complimented BY
them on their linguistic skill as seen In
this unique word.-New York Herald.

COMPETITION FOR LABOR.

STATE Of AAairs In japan that SCENE
Odd to De.
The owners Of factories In Japar
have a hard time Of 1t, Judging by AZ
article In the Christian Register. In
dustrial progress has been 80 rapid
especially since the war between Japar
ana China, that a rather peculiar con
dition Of things prevails. The emigra
ton to the cities has not kept pace will
the demand for labor, and consequent
" the factories, which have such
press Of work that in the case OF thu
cotton and spinning industries they an
run day and night, cannot ind enough
laborers.
In this state Of affairs the factories
vie with each other to obtain men and
girls. They send out agents to d1stan'
places to muster q crowd Of working
girls and bring them to the towns

cities must be bribed to work In thu

houses which they let to the workers a
q nominal rent, others sell them cheaJ
rice.
Competition goes further stilL No
only do the factories bid for outside
help, but they try to lure away thu
workers from rival factories. This hal
led to % much Quarreling that Otter
the police are called upon to interfere
A. q consequence, q union among the
thread factories has been formed, and
an agreement made that NO factory
shall employ man or woman from any
other factory In the union until he Ol
she has for q certain stated period lef-
the other factory. II an employer doei

Yet the stealing Of laborers goes on
It has become a necessity for eacl
factory to send an inspector to othel
factories from time to time, to spy ou
the stolen ones. The thief, however, II
often too wary to let his booty be dis
covered. 1t is said that some factories
have skillfully contrived hiding-placel
where tho fugitives can conceal them
selves the instant IN inspector enter
the factory. One Of the factories 4
said to have gone so far as to feed tn,
men who have left other employer
until the stated time has elapsed
