WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

Wilmington Star.
The official vote for the Amend
mont was 1927; against 1t, l28, 285.
Majority for, 1892. This would seem
to be sufficient to make North Carolina
certain for Bryan and Stevenson by 4
large majority. But let us consider
this matter carefully. As result OF
overconfdence and apathy, i: may we'll
be feared that 10000 straight Demo-
Gratis who voted for the Amendment
will not go to the polls in November.
1t may also be safely assumed that
5000 white Republicans, Populists and
Gold Democrats who supported the
Amendment will vote for Mckinley.
Taking these $4,000 votes from the
vote for the Amendment would bring
the Democratic vote for Bryan down to
l64 PIT. Then add the 5000 white
Republicans, Populists and Gold Dem:
ocrats to the vote against the Amend
ment and we have 1926 for McKin-
ley. But suppose 10000 negroes who
did not vote in the State election go
to the polls and vote for Mckinley in
November. Then Bryan would lose
the State by small majority.
The reader must understand that
the STAR has no doubt that BRYAN
will carry the State by good majority.
We are only trying to show whit may
Carolina fail to come up to the full
measure of their duty.

SCOTLAND NECK, n. G..

Dear Sir 1T certainly takes a
bralny man these days to earn enough
money to buy house. Such a man
will at once see the folly OF purchasing
a thin, mixed paint, for he ia then pay
ing over $1.OO per gallon for lot OF
linsesd oil put in can and labelled
paint L. & NJ. is semi-paste Paint,
and you mix gallon of oil to every
gallon of it. Remember that back OF
our statement we put our capital and
our annual sales of Four Million Pounds

Messrs. E. T. Whitehead & Co. will
be pleased to talk to you further.
Yours truly,

AFFAIRS IN CHINA.

1t is hard to give any definite idea OF
the situation in China. Intelligence
has come that the authorities at Wash
ington ordered troops that had been sent
to China to t,.rn their course to Manila.
This indicates that it is not deemed
necessary to send more troops to China
than we already have there. One day
reports seem gratifying and the next
tho skies look cloudy again. It is
hoped that the whole matter will be
settled with but little more fighting.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the lar
gest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilizsd world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce and they new
or heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous Pros
tratfou or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop the fermentation Of
undigested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action OF the system, and that
is all they took when feeling bad with
the headaches and other aches, You
only need few doses of Green's Aug
ust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by E.

Proprietor of Fireworks
Arrested.
Blank Cartridge the Cause of
the Trouble.

Philadelphia, July A blank cartridge
fired at close range by a colored boy in
a large collection of fireworks Of a highly
explosive character, today cost the lives
of four children, the probable death OF
three others and severe burns and lacera-
tions to twenty other persons, only two OF
whom were adults. The dead:
Carmel Bianno, aged II years.
Charles Feruzzi, aged II years.
Two unidentified children.
Those who will probably die are:
Isabelle Derites, aged years.
Jennie Bianno, aged years.
Frank Naccitro aged years.
The explosion occurred in front of the
back shop of Antonio MamareIlo on
Eighth street in the most thickly popu-
lated section of the Italian quarter. The
force of the explosion which followed
shattered the windows OF many stores
and residences in the vicinity and the
scene was covered by a dense smoke.
When this lifted the forms of more than
a score of children were found on the
street, burned and bleeding. The owner
OF the fireworks was arrested.

who had seen both the injured persons,
that neither would probably live through
the day. The cause or the shooting is
thought to have been jealousy.
