His Life was Saved.

Mi. J. E. Lilly, a prominent
citizen of Hannibal, Mo-. lately
had wonderful deliverance
from a t1lghtful death. In tell

with Typhoid Fever, that ran
into Pneumonia. My lungs be-
came hardened. I was so weak
l couldn't even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. expected
to soon die of Consumption,
when I heard of DR.. Kings New

it, and now am we'll and strong,

The Country Editor.

Presently we will hear of the
rewards and honors that are to
go to the man whose services to
the party won the magnificent
victory. The workers ought to
receive the hono.s for we be-
lieve that 1.-The horse that pulls

But-when that time com IS,
we venture to say that the foie>
most workers in this hgh: were
the country editors. They not
only worked as hard and as eff.
fectively as any, but they spent
more money for the party than
any other class of men in the
State in proportion to their
ability. If the Democratic or
carnations in North Car DINA
paid the party papers for the
publication of all appointments
and all other notices, the country
editors would all have bank
accounts now. The North
Carolina editors-city and coun
try-never think of receiving
pay for such publications, but
gladly surrender their columns
to the advancement of the party
to which they belong.
All honor to the faithful
workers, VINO do their work in

do not receive the applause and
public recognition of their un.

PATRIOTIC BEHAVIOR.

The Vice>Presidential candi-
date of the Populist party,
Charles A. Towne, withdraws
from the contest.
1t will be remembered that he
was nominated by the Sioux
Falls Convention as running
mate to Bryan.
Stevenson was afterward
nominated by the Democrats
for the same position.
Under these circumstances
Mr.. Towne recognized the fact
that he would play into the
hands of the Republican party.
He saw that if he accepted the
p1ofered honor he would in
directly be aiding and abetting
the present Administration in
its imperialistic and monopolis
tic tendencies. He therefore
periodically declines the coveted
honor and declares in favor Of
Bryan and Stevenson.
He gives a clear, forceful,
presentation of the present
peculiar political conditions. In
concluding his admirable letter
he uses this pertinent language {:
81 may be permitted to express the
profound satisfaction which 1 feel in
contemplating the present attitude of
the Democratic party. In 1896 l was
one Of those who, keenly feeling the
recreancy of the Republican party,
were much in doubt whether the Demo-
cratic Convention at Chicago, in adopt
ing its splendid platform and nominal
ing William j. Bryan for the Presi-
denCy, was aCtuated by an impulse Or
by purpose. The magnificent achiev-
nlents at Kansas City have settled all
possible doubt on that subject. The
platform adopted not only re-enacts
the principles of 1896, but in language
whose force, dignity and beauty have
never been equaled in a similar docu
ment, responds TO the issues presented
in the growth of the trust monopoly
and the imperialistic policy of the
administration by an appropriate
enumeration Of those sublime doctrines
Of human rights aud liberties whose
possession and observance have been
the peculiar blessing of our country
and are the sure bae is of the ultimate
happiness of mankind. And again, the
duty Of carrying the banner of the
cause has been committed to that tried
and trusted hand whose grasp has
never weakened, which no fear can
make to falter and no burden can dis
may. The leadership of Bryan. which
could have redeemed bad platform,
sanctifed a good Que. 1t made me
morable an unsuccessful contest. 1t
will crown a victory with imperishable
splendor."

any theme. He is as strong on
Imperialism - the paramount
issue of this campaign-as he
was On the financial question.
With the clearness, vigor, and
irresistible force of a born logi-
clan, he completely demolishes
the specious arguments of the
enemy. The fallacy and danger
of their position are mercilessly
exposed. The calcium light of
reason, common>sense and COM
mon honesty, is turned upon the
dark and devious ways of the
present Administration. In
language simple but strong,
barbed with truth and winged
by cogent argument, he pierces
the very heart of the cold COM
mercialism, the rapacious greed,
the double-dealing policy, the
treachery and fraud of the Re-
publican party and its meek sub
serviency to the great combines
and heartless trusts that are
rapidly crushing out all individ-
ual effort and dangerously con
testing the wealth of the nation.
It is a great effort, plain, frank
strong, convincing. Read it.

CHINA.

The trouble in China grows
in interest. The plot deepens.
It's tragic character daily grows
more pronounced. An air OF
perplexing uncertainty hangs
about it. New and startling de-
velopments may take place at
any moment. A bloody drama
that will convulse the civilized
globe may be precipitated.
Conger still lives but no one
can tell how long he will sur
vive Chinese hate, brutality and
fiendish thirst for the blood Of
foreigners. The legations are
savagely attacked by imperial
troops. They may be captured
at any time. A terrible massacre,
a horrible butchery would inev-
itably follow. There is no lon-
ger any doubt about the Chinese
Governments responsibility. 1t

latter engagement. "On to PEI
kin" is now the cry of the inter-
national forces. No delay, save
that which is absolutely neces>
sary for thorough preparation,
should be permitted. The cons

much longer. Delay, therefore,

Power From the Efrlh's Feat.
(New Orleans Times-Democrat)

New Orleans Times-Democrat)
"A distinguished scientist has seri-
ously suggested the sinking of boilers
deep enough to use the heat Of the
earth as fuel" said a prominent en-
gineer of this city.
That sounds fantastic, in view of
the fact that a depth Of 1900 feet
would be necessary to boil water but
a scheme of the same sort was used
with great energy back in the Cos by
a Washington inventor named Forain.
If my memory is correct, Forain was
man of considerable means and a
mathematician of ability. The inter-
nal heat of the earth is supposed to
equal about one degree to the 100 feet
of penetration, but he claimed to have
discovered that the percentage was very
much greater, and increased in com
pound ratio after a certain depth was
reached. He figured out an elaborate
table and proposed to sink huge shaft
with accumulatorS at the bottom, from
which unlimited steam would be sup
piled to the surface. All that was need
ed was a few million dollars capital
to pay for the digging and the plant.
and he Immediately set to work to raise
the amount Forain succeeded in in
teresting a number of people of wealth
and formed joint stock company, but
meanwhile his calculations We're as
sailed by scientists and it was shown
pretty clearly that the figures We're in
correct. He replied with great bitter
ness, and the consequence was that
the scheme went to pieces in the shock
of controversy.
What became of Forain 7 don't
know. If the problem is actually solv-
ed / suppose he will be fshed out Of the
limbo of cranks and Missionaries to take
his proper place in history"
