TO primaries. Be sure that the
various gentlemen, whose am
bitions lead them to seek the
senatorship, and all of them
worty, shall all of them have an
equal chance, and your constitu-
ency will have cause to thank
you for having faithfully served
the best interests of the demo-
cratic party.

that they sbaiI come into eoars

trolled, ought to be the party's
Shiboleth. My contention is,
fellow Democrats, that a people
who are intelligent enough to

trusted to declare with their

In this commonwealth where

of the worthy gentlemen who's,
names have been suggested a
candidates for the high ant
honorable office.
The prominent position which
General Carr now occupies il
the business and financial circle,
not only of his State. but of thu
whole country as well, was wor
for himself by the force of hi
own unaided energy and talents
and by the constant practice ot
the virtues of truth, integrity
and honor.
He has a broad aid intelligent
appreciation of the true inter.
ests of the State and may be
confidently relied on to deal with
public questions with tirmness,
independence and discrimina
tion.
The possession of these quail
tiles precludes the suggestion
that as United States Senator he
will not be subject to unworthy
dictation of any kind, while the
affability of his manners guar
antee to the people that as
United States Senator he will
always be readily accessible In
petition, remonstrance or COM
plant; whicle his proverbial
thoughtfulness of and concern
for the good of his State, affords
the best assurance that in Con-
gress there will be no diminu-
tion of his efforts to promote the
best interests of the State and
section he loves so well-North
Carolina and the Southland.
Public sentiment points to
him as the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party for United States
Senator He is not frowning
upon his friends pressing his
claims for this honorable office;
he is not refusing to obey their
behests and the command of his
party. : On the contrary, he
smiles amiably and forgivingly
on both, like a man when asked
by a friend to take something" :"
replies, II don't care if | do"
General Carr has always been
prominent, both in bis prepara
tion for past political campaigns
and the marshaling q of the forces
80 as to bring cut the popular
vote. He has been successful
in both. He can do more to
the forces and to pre-.
serve power after getting 10 than
my Democrat in the State.
Ii is within the recollection of
is all, that no sooner than the
news of the terrific and frightful
iefeat of the Democratic party,
IN 1898, had been proclaimed
when the Democratic party of
the entire State was over
whelmed with grief, sadness
and mourning over that defeat
when that grand old party had
almost settled down in apathy,
gloom, despair and dependency
when the white men of North
realized the deep dis.
race and dishonor heaped upon
hem and their hearts sickened
n contemplation of their true
condition, there went out from
General Carr that famous man.

why we Laugh and Why We Don't,

Anthropologists say that the ability to
laugh comes to the child as it grows
older. The first smile is observed when
the child is about forty to sixty days old,
but 1t does not begin to laugh until some
time after that. According to Mantegazza
and others, the power of laughing has to
be acquired, just as child learns how
to talk or to walk. Laughter at the earli-
est Is observed in infants only after they
are three months old.
Children and women laugh more than
men, not because the cares of life lie less
heavily upon them, but because the form
er are more excitabe and because the
moderating power Of the cerebral herpis-
pheres is less in them than among men
generally.
Profound study makes men serious, and
So foolish people ara sometimes noted for

net so much an index to intelligence as ii

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1900.

When Alexander Wertenen went to
work in the tannery at Spencer, W.
Va, he was a blonde. In about an
hour he began to turn black, and by
night he was as black as coal from
head to foot. Wertenen feels no ILL
ness, and the doctors oner no explana-
ton. If some one could perfect a sysA
tenn of making black men white in one
day the race problem would soon be
jettled.

DEARTH OF $5,OOO-A-YEAR MEN.
More of Them Would Materia1ize by
Keeping Their Coats On

Keeping Their Coats On.
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post:
In one of the large wholesale grocery
houses of New York everybody seems so
eontented, so ready to chat with a Wis
ttor on other subjects than a chop Of
Oo1ong or the rise in California prunes,
that considerable curiosity has been ex-
pressed concerning the manner in which
this happy condition came about. The
firm does not pay large salaries It's men
work just as long as those of competing
houses. The secret was revealed by
young man who had been with the firm
but a short time
''When I went into the place." he said,
''the president took me under his wing
and laid out some work. When I was
solid with that he had the chief clerk
turn over a few more little jobs. Then
he had the manager give me few addi-
tdonal duties, which seemed to fill up the
time to overlooking. A few lays ago he
had the secretary turn over certain city
letters. I tried to attend ta all these
things, and succeeded for tt me- Then
came big rush of business. The others
did not seem to work any hart er because
of it, but it just swamped e. I flew
around like a politician after sotes on a
close election day, but it was hr use. The
more worked the worse thu smart be-
came. Finally I got mad, took off my
coat and began to get heated. About this
Time the president came In and saw there
was something wrong. He CALLED me into
the private office and began to talk in a.
general way that seemed not in the least
useful. He said he preferred to have his
people keep their coats on except when
the weather was hot; for mar who was
not laborer to take off his coat showed
he was too warm or not working proper
ly. If he was too warm he should have
the room cooled; if he was working with
friction he should oil up the bearings a
little. He went on to say that when he
was brakeman he found it always paid
to keep all the boxes just as cool as pos
sible.
"About here began to see the drift. I
went out to my desk, put on my coat,
looked over what was to be done, spent
five minutes or so in planning how to do
1t, and finished everything by 9 o'clock.
A few days later told one Of the other
men what had been told me. He laughed
and said the president had given the
same advice to others. SO that Keep your
coat on was a sort of battle cry on a
busy day."
It is, often said there is d~arth Of
$5,OO0-a-year men. This cannot mean a
deArth of men with the requisite knowl-
edge; such a view is plainly untrue. The
lacking faculty or CHARACTERISTIC Is the
ability to plan instinctively while carry
ing, on other: work, so that~affaiIs never
become tangled, and there Is always time
for one more undertaking.
