WHEREIN We TALK SHOP.

Elsewhere in today's paper appears an
account Of the annual meeting OF the
stockholders of the News and Observer
Publishing Company. 1t will gratify the
friends of this paper land we are glad TO
know that i'm the class we can reckon all
good Democrats to know that the paper
is growing daily in strength and use
fulness, having now a subscription ana
advertising patronage that is steadfy
growing and that puts the paper on
paying basis.
Five years have passed since the paper
came under the control of the present
management. They have been five years
OF earnest endeavor to give the people oil
North Carolina n paper worthy or the
name. X took three years to bring the
receipts up to the expenditures, ana
the paper has succeeded because 1t mas
been managed with close economy.
With the increased and growing patron.
age, plans have been matured for I'M
proving the paper in several ways that
will appear later on. The owners OF
the News and Observer desire only 4
fair interest ON their investment. As
the income increases they will find ways
to increase the attractiveness and use.
flllness of the paper.
The success of the News and Observer
is due to one thing alone: 1t is a pa
per that speaks out in meeting. 1t has
opinions and expresses them. 1t has
convictions and sticks to them 1t has
principles and ADVOCATES them. 1t seeks
to be AN exponent of all that is best I'D
North Carolina and to stand for the m
dustrial. educational and political growth
OF the Commonwealth. 1t belongs to
seventy gentlemen who have no personal
axe to grind, and there is no back dooa
to it's editorial sanctum. Its editorial
policy is not dictated from the business
office. If it believes a policy to be
wrong it says so, even il it loses busi-
ness. 1t is. not here primarily to get
subscribers and advertisers. Its mission
is to stand for good government, educa-
ton, justice and progress. 1t is the best
friend honest corporations can have and
lends its aid to all their laudable aims.
1t is a foe to no corporations or indi-
yiduais except those that seek to dom
mate the State or to subserye selfish
ends.
The success that has come to the News
and Observer justifies our faith in thu
people. We have appealed directly to
them, seeking no aid or support from
corporation politicians or trust manipu.
lators. We have defied these OUTLAWS
of commerce and gained their opposis
ton. The future of the paper is IN the
hands of those North Carolinians who
desire an independent Democratic papei
at Raleigh which will uphold the princi
pies of the party, and support all 1T
nominees at all times from constable e
president. If they increase their patron
age, they increase the power of the pa
per to advance Democratic principles.

a Trained Librarian to Classify and
Index the Books.
A great improvement will soon be in
aucrlrated in the State Library In fact
il will be made a library; heretofore it
has simply been collection of books.
For a few weeks trained librarian
will be employed who will arrange the
library according to library methods.
The services of Mr. Benjamin Wyche.
the first trained librarian ever in the
State-have been secured. He was first
at the University of North Carolina, ana
afterwards went with President Win
ston to Texas as Librarian to the Uniyer-
sity of Texas, being the first trained
librarian in that State.
He is now at work on the A. and NJ
College library and will be later en-
ployed by the trustees of the State lib
rary for about three weeks to classify
and arrange the books. He viii receive
So per day.
In classifying the books an index cabi-
net, of the latest design and costing S270
will be used. 1t is the best method of
cataloguing books ever invented. Be
cause it had no such catalogue the lib
rary has duplicated many costly books
and lost many others.
1t is estimated that the cost of arrang-
ing and classifying the books in this lib
rary, together with the index cabinet,
will cost 5000.

THE LEADING ISSUE IN 1900.
New York World Prints Interviews
With Southern Democrats.

New York World Prints Interviews
With Southern Democrats.
The New York World of Sunday prints
interviews with a number of Southern
Democrats as to whether the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of is to / should
be the leading plank of the Democratic
platform in 1900. Among the interviews
from North Carolina were the follow
ing:
Il. NJ. Simmons, Democratic State
Chairman-In my judgment free silver
at the ratio of Is to l ought to be, and
will be, one of the leading questions in
the next campaign. The Chicago plat
form on this subject ought to be, and
| am confident will be, reaffirmed SO
far as North Carolina is concerned there
has been, and will be, no abatement in
its enthusiastic support both of silver
and Mr.. Bryan. We believed in 1896
that free silver was right. We still be-
lieve it is right. | believe free silver
and opposition to trusts should be the
two paramount issues.
J0sephus Daniels, National Commit
teeman and editor of the Raleigh News
and Observer-The leading issue should
be a trinity of issues. The Chicago
platform should be, and will be, endorsed
without the slightest change. The policy
of Imperialism and militarism should be
sharply arraigned as destructive of the
foundation principles of our Govern
ment. Trusts should be denounced as
the OUTLAWS of commerce." and honest
pledges made to suppress them The
discussion of trusts and militaPism will
largely engross the voters attention in
many parts of the Union. The men
who voted for Bryan three years ago
have not changed their belief in bimetaE-
lism but they do not expect men who re-
gard militarism as destructive to liberty,
and trusts as a menace to individual am
bition. to give the money question first
place. Anti-monometallism and anti
militarism and antitrust will be the
Democratic shiboleths next year.
OF those interviewed the World gave
the following summary as for or against
free silver as the leading issue or neu-
trial:

TOPPING OVER EACH OTHER.

One month ago the editor of this paper,
interviewed by the Washington Post,
predicted that Bryan would be nomin-
ated by reclamation in 1900"
Recent events seem to justify that
prediction. The news comes from New
York that Mr.. Croker, who was under
stood to be against Bryan few months
ago, has returned from Europe and has
declared for Bryan's denomination ane
is talking antitrust and anti-Imperlal,
ism. Mr.. Croker is a long headed politl
clan. He has no sentiment in politics
He wants to win. He has heard from
the people. He sees that the tide IS al
toward putting Bryan in the White
House and he seems to have decided
to help it along.
From now on they will be topping over
each other hurTahing for Bryan. Good
There is every reason why every mai
who stands against gold monometaiism
trusts and nilitarism, or either of them
should get in the Bryan band-wagon. Hs
is the hope Of ending the blight of Han
naism. Eaganism, Otis-ism, trust rule

Americanism. If the convention wers
held tomorrow, he would be nominated

GUY AND CAMPBELL TRIED.
Guy Held on Two Charges and Cara2
bell Held ON One.


bell Held ON One
Walter Guy and Archie Campbell, the
two young white men arrested at pray
err meeting here last week by United
States deputy marshals, Wee yesterday
given a preliminary trial before Commits
sioner Nichols.
Guy plead guilty of working at a
still. Campbell plead not guilty. Five
witnesses were put on the srand. All
of them had seen Guy about certain
moonshine still in Harnett county Il year
ago Some of them had seen him work
ing there. None of them had ever seen
him sell any liquor.
Guy was bound over to court III n
bond of 5000.
As to Campbell none of the witnesses
had ever seen him abort still or had
ever known him to sell liquor.
Campbell was therefore not held on
the charge of selling liquor or WORKING
at ii still. He was, however, tried ard
bound over i'm a 5000 bond for resisting
an officer. A bond in the same amount
was required of Guy for the same OF
Tense.
Neither of them was able to give the
bond, nor did they try, as it was an
nounced by the Commissioner that he
had against them a State warrant for
carrying concealed weapons and if they
should give bond he would have to try
them on that charge.
There is also an indictment for lar
ceny against these two men in Wake
county court. They will be tried for
this at the next term of court, even
before they are tried for the offense
charged against them at the preliminary
trial yesterday.

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon a diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-

Alcoholic stimulants have so congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
