Let Us Not Forget Our Constitutional
Amendment, and That We
are Democrats.

To My Fellow Democrats:
1t appears that our Senatorial contest
is causing strife and bitterness among us,
and that our candidates for the nomina-
tion are sometimes spoken against harsh
ly. This surely ought not to be. Each
one of them is worthy of our confidence;
and the honor of the party and OF our
State would be safe in the hands Of each
one of them. Each one of them has re-
sponded to every call of duty.
Can we forget what we have just pass
ed through? Can we forget our consti-
tutional amendment. and that we are
Democrats? Do not our political foes
still stand in our front? Is there no
danger ahead? Can we afford to quar-
rel among ourselves or to speak evil Of
each other? Will not our vote for men,
bers of Congress and for a President be
either a vote of confidence or a vote Of
want Of confidence? If we suffer defeat
will it not be taken that we have discard
ed and repudiated our constitutional
amendment, with all the work Of 1898 and
1900
We cannot afford to quarrel among our
selves, my fellow Democrats, or to speak
evil of each other The enemy is too near
our gates. Surely we can clothe one OF
our comrades with our highest honors
without unkindness to another who re-
mains with us in the ranks. They have
all been true and tried yoke fellows. The
very meaning Of our primary is that we
may choose one of our number
calmly, patriotically. without heat, and
without the suspicion of sinister infiu-
ences DO not let us mistake that mean
ing, and thus defeat the very purpose Of
this new method of choice Let all strife
and bitterness cease; and let us march
to victory again under the shadow of our
locked chields.
l regret that thus far in our present
campaign l have not been strong enough
to be with you in person, but have been
with you, with all my heart, and am al
ways,
Your fellow Democrat.

Do you remeber, in ninetyeight,
When we started in to save the State?
When negro rule was having full sway,
And everything good had been driven

Who was it then, when we needed a man,
To lead us out from under this ban,
That went to the wheel of the Old Ship

And headed her straight for the Golden
Gate?
Who's mighty brain and powerful hand,
Brought the old ship safe to land,
Brought her out of a sea of despair
And placed her in a harbor fair?
Where she'll stay for the ages to come,
An ever reminder of work well done.
And who, you say, is this leader brave,
That did our good "Old North State" save?
Why F. M. Simmons, our chairman great,
Who Pops and Republicans fear and hate!
Now isn't right, and isn't it fair
That we give to him a Senator's chair?

To defend the rights of our dear N. c.,
And be it early. or be it late.

Medical Notes.

Even so simple a matter as borrowing
a lead pencil may lead TO the dissemina-
ton Of disease L. family. Among chill
dren especially, Swapping pencils is
one method of showing good fellowship,
and the child who swaps is sometimes
the innocent cause of transmitting sore
throat, skin disease, diphtheria, or scar
let fever to his best friend. The use of
public pencils, is also, no doubt, respon-
Sible for the transmission of disease
from one to another, the danger being
far greater when a person moistens the
lead in the mouth. Aside from being a
filthy habit this is a dangerous one in
any case for the lead is comparatively
rough and has cavities which are to the
germs as vast caves in which they Turk
and from which they may be transferred
to the mucous membranes through which
disease enters most readily into the sys-
tenn.
As for penhOlders they are much more
commonly used by many persons and
the danger of transmission of disease
germs by them is therefore greater At

penholders in such quantity that each

Thoroughly Cures Every Form of

The Pyramid Pile Cure has been a

without the use of opiates, cocaine, mar

analysis shows the Pyramid Pile Cure
TO be wholly free from any injurious
drug whatever
Hundreds of people who had almost
decided to undergo an operation, believ-

been astonished to find that a fifty-cent
