A DELIGHTFUL RESORT.

Jackson Springs, \. c., August r.
tSpe,ial.) This writer is at this noted
health resort, together with one or two

The absence of the accommodations
found in cities and many pleasure re-

covered with beautiful shade trees. At
night those who arc so inclined "trip the

DANGEROUS TO EAT IN NEW YORK.

1t is a dangerous thing these days for
a half dozen prominent Southerners to
dine together at resort in the State of
New York. On Saturday a party en-
joyed a good dinner at the Grand Union
Hotel at Saratoga, in company with
Hon. w. +. Harrity and others. They
had delightful time without doubt,
but they had hardly finished the cigars
that followed the dinner when it was
telegraphed all over. the country that
they had met to push the Van Wyck
boom.
Among others present was Hon. Theo.
j.. Davidson. former Attorney General
of North Carolina, and he was represent
ed as one of the leaders in the move
ment. We have no Information about
the dinner. One thing, however, we do
know: Col. Davidson is an able and
wise Democrat who does not go to New
He is sincere Democrat who, if he
wanted to begin a boom for any man
would begin at Jerusalem" He has
been at Saratoga on pleasure trip,
with no thought of launching booms.
Van Wyck is good man and highly
esteemed in the South, but his fool
friends are numbering him by having
his boom "launched" every time prom

York and takes dinner with friend.

far from accurate or just to say that
the old Doctors remark applies to the
patriotism of Theodore Roosevelt in this

the struggle of the Filipinos as mere

not savagrs, but people who have pro-

The Democratic party Of North Caro-
lima has suffered no little at the hands
of aspirants for office Every man has
the right to aspire to office, but no man
is justified in indulging his ambition TO
such an extent as to jeopardse the
success of the party. The man who
looks upon the Democratic party as Il
''band wagon" for him to jump on and
ride into office should be made to feel
that he has mistaken the business of
the organization. The party is an organ
ization through which the people select
their officers-their servants when
ever the servant becomes greater than
the master his services should be dis
pensed with at once.

1t may sound little startling, but it
is said to be true that more young
men are learning trades in peni-

cause the parents are trying to make
clerks, doctors, lawyers, and even
preachers out of material intended for
blacksmiths, carpenters and other me-
chanical trades. The trouble is that
boys are too eager to avoid the labor
of life and are too anxious to follow
some calling that does not soil their

that of the Quakers. But that is
changing, and now the followers of
Wesley worship in beautiful buildings,
elaborately decorated, and often have
a service which in many respects
shows the effect of the time-spirit as
much as the architecture One of the
most prominent Methodist churches
in New York has for some time, we are
informed, had a vested choir, and that

ministry to those classes in the COM

truest to Methodism. Now we are in
