that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is

foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up

TuE AMENDMENT AND DIRECT LEO

When the voters of North Carroll

tional amendment they will have ex-
ereised a privilege which the Peo-
pies Party seeks to enlarge and
make permanent in the government
al system Il the States and nation
the privilege OF voting to ratify or
eject important legislation. IL 1t Is
important that the individual voter
should be accorded the privilege of
casting his vote for or against legis-
lation which contemplates n change
in the Constitution is it not OF equal
or greater importance that he also
be accorded the privilege of voting
upon Legislation which directly con-
Germs him, which governs him, and
which has an important bearing up
on the prosperity Of the State and
nation and upon himself as citizen
thereof
THIS system OF direct legislation,
as 1t is known is demanded by the
Peoples Party. 1t is the very es-
sence OF Democracy and cannot be
objected to by any save those who
are afraid to trust the people to leg
islate for themselves or who prefer
our present preventative system OF
legislating for the reason that they
IAN better control the representa-
tives than they can the people.
Every Populst in North Carolina
should take up this principle Of his

FREE RURAL DELIVERY.

The idea of establishing a system
of free rural mail delivery can be
said to be q Populist one entirely.
1t was Populist Congressman who
q few years ago secured the first ap
preparation of fifty thousand dollars
to be applied by the Postmaster
General in making experiments as
to the feasibility of free rural mail
delivery; and it was a Populist
Senator who later got the appropri
alton largely increased SO as to make
the experiment a more thorough one
All of the Postmasters-G General since
the experiments began have recon-
mended in favor of the free delivery
plan, and Mr.. Heath the presen,
Assistant Postmaster General is
very enthusiastic over it. He says
the popularity of free rural delivery
is rapidly growing; and is convince d
that it will be beneficial not only to
the farmers who of course receiy g
the primary benefit but also to the
country merchant.
The farmers of the country should
insist upon this free rural delivery
system as it is as much due them al
city delivery is to the city man.

Such then, Mr.. Editor, from youth
to hOary age were the lifelong
utterances of Thomas Jefferson up
on this pOrtentous theme. And in
substantial accord with him
were the voices of his mighty con-
temporaries, and Of George Wash

aspects of his character the greatest
of them all. And if in treating this
subject, l have not chosen to make
the same use Of his serene and
benignant wisdom, it is not be.
cause his view of the question was
not equally pronounced. With this
difference only, that while he was
just as eager as was Jefferson, tx
