Watchfulness.

In the olden days the Dutch, with
characteristic courage and doggedness,
built huge dykes to save themselves
from destruction from the encroach-
ment of the sea, and to this hour these
immense barricades are kept strong
and effective by incessant care and
watchfulness. 1t is in the same spirit
that we must keep guard over the lib
critics and privileges which alone can
make our country glorious. 1t is not
much that each can do but each can
do something. Here the threa tening
tide of drunkenness may be stayed, and
yonder the trickling streamlets OF II
religion and cruelty that threaten
cblld-life may be stopped. Let him
that loves the Gospel spread it Let
him that loves his Bible read and use
it Let him that loves honor keep his
own armor pure and bright !--Samuc cl
Pearson.

Why He Failed.

Selected.
A young man who had failed by
only three points In an examination
for admission to the Marine Corps, ap-
pealed to his representative in Congress
for assistance, and together they went
to see the Secretary of the Navy in
the hore OF securing what is known as
"rerating' of his papers.
''How many more chances DO YOU
want?" asked Secretary Long. "This
is your third timer" And before the
young man had a chance to answer the
Secretary continued: "How do 1ou
expect to get along in the world when
you smoke SO many cigarettes. Your
clothes are saturated with their odor.
Pull off your gloves and let me see
your fingers. There, see how yellow
they are?' pointing to the sides of the
first and second fingers.
Before the young man found his
tongue to offer an explanation, the
Secretary asked him if be drank.
"Only once in a while," was his
sheeplsh reply.
Secretary Long then invited the
Congressman into his private office,
and while offering to do everything
that he could consistently, added Il
am sick OF trying to make anything of
these boys that are loaded with cigar
cite smoke and drink once in while
They are about hopeless it seems to
me-"
When they left the department
building the young man, hall apollo
gizing for his poor showing, remarked :
drinking, my father Gays, is the bare
OF the navy"
II guess it is," replied the Congress
man laconically. at is the bane
everywhere else, and I should think
quite likely i5 would be in the navy"
The young man promised to turn
over new leaf absolutely, in both par
ticu!ars, and was allowed another
chance.

porting him, and who do not come
within the above description. It il
not because the common enemy of the
Democratic party and good govern
ment in North Carolina. hate Mr.. Car
less, but Mr.. Simmons more. Not be.
cause they have any right to hate him
but because they know, as everybody
else does, that to our State chairman is
due, more than to any other one man
In the State, the complete overthrow oi
the Republican and Populists parties
and the establishment OF Democratic
Anglo-Saxon supremacy in her bor-
ders.
5. Again, it Is trite but true saying
that stream cannot rise higher than
its source or head. Mr.. Simmons has
been for three campaigns at the head
OF the Democratic party N this State.
10 him and his committee was sur
rendered, by the unanimous consent of
all the Democrats in the State, the en-
tire management and control of the
last campaigns, upon the result of
which depended the very existence Of
Anglo-Saxon government In North
Carolina. How wisely and we'll he
and his coadlutors managed these cam
palgns, the results triumphantIy prove.
No man who has the love for his party
and his home at heart will point the
finger of disapproyal or criticism at
single act of Mr.. Simmons in his un-
tiring and ceaseless Iabors in this
behalf.
Then permit me to again question
If the Democrats in North Carolina,
when the very existence OF white su-
premacy and the peace, happiness and
prosperity of our people were at stake,
had sufficient confidence in the ability,
integrity and patriotism Of F. M. Sim
mons to unhesitatingly place him at
the head of the party craft to steer 1t
through those troublous political wa
ters which silently and sul'enly threat
ened its destruction, and il, under his
captajncy, the voyage was safely and
triumphantly made, then where is the
Democrat who is now willing to rise
up from the ranks and calm that his
captain is not to be preferred in this
contest, oyer man who, however
amiable and phllantropic in 1896, was
unable to accept the nomlna:ion OF
Governor of North Carolina, lece'.se
his vast financial affairs required his
entire time ana attention.
1t this gentlemen's private business
was so engrossing in 1896 as to prevent
his accepting the Democratic nomlna-
ton tor Governor, when to do so was
confessedly assuming the leadership OF
a forlorn hope, ought he not now, IN
the hour OF his party's victory, stand
aside for the man who unhesitatingly
accepted the leadership of his party in
the hour of it's dlrest calamity and
most distressed conditions?
I await an answer. My name, which
I withhold because I am not seeking
