LIFE GRADUALLY LENGTHENING.

Recent statistics prove that the average
health and length of life of human beings
have grown stronger and longer with
the years. In the fifteenth century, there
was not to be found man or woman
over sixty years of age. 1t is clearly
demonstrated that the change for the
better has been brought about by mod
ern ideas and methods. One of the
agents which has been most instrumental
in preserving life is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters Thousands have died from stom-
ach and digestive disorders, who might
have survived had they resorted to the
Bitters. 1t is the greatest of known tonics
for stomach and digestive organs. 1t
cures dyspepsia, Indigestion and consti-
patton, and has done SO for the past fifty
years There is nothing to equal it.

THE RECORD AGAINST CADE,

The spectacle of Baylus Cade, other
wise and more familiarly known as
Ex-Rev. Decayed Baylus, going about
the State slandering the church to
which he belongs illustrates the trend
of Fusionism. No man can become a
Fusion politician and hold his job with
out lending himself to defamation of
the State and retailing misrepresenta-
ton. But Decayed Baylus always was, as
Artemus Ward would say san amoosin'
cuss," not to say an original one. He
is not content to misrepresent the
people-that's what all Fusion orators
do--and Decayed Baylus could not
stand to be merely conventional. And
so he pitches IN and creates a diver
sion by slandering the Baptist Church.
That's his way of getting himself
talked about and going to the front
as a Fusion leader.
The Baptist Church, led in its educa
tional policy by DR.. Chas. Z. Taylor,
the learned president of Wake Forest
College, has been earnestly and con
sistently in favor of better public
schools. This fact is so well known
that no proof is necessary. We could
fill this paper with extracts from the
speeches and printed articles of its
leaders, urging better public schools.
but one resolution adopted by the
baptist State conventions enough
to thoroughly refute Cade's Islander.
At the Baptist State convention, which
met in GreenviIlc, December Sth-12th,
inclusive, 1898, this resolution was
adopted:
Exercising our right of petition,
we the Baptist State convention. re-
specially memorable the Legislature
soon to assemble to appropriate every
available dollar of public money. how
ever small the amount may be, to the
improvement of our public schools,
and that the policy of progress in this
direction be set up and maintained
until the reproach of illiteracy be re-
moved from our State, and until the
100000 boys and girls whose hope for
enlightenment is in the public schools
are afforded an opportunity to receive
the primary instruction necessary to
fiji them fOl. thp CutiaS of oitizaDchip -
And in the Legislature that follow
ed, it was Il Baptist farmer, Moderator
of his Association, John b. Holman,
who introduced in the House the bill
to appropriate 100000 to the
public schools, it was a Baptist law
yer, Senator Stephen Mcintyre,
who introduced similar bill
in the Senate. This bill passed both
Houses without dissenting vote,
proving that not only the Baptists but
all the legislators of all churches and
outside of any church are earnestly
in favor of better schools. The next
Legislature. led by Governor Aycock,
u distinguished Baptist, will take even
further steps to improve the public
school system until every country
neighborhood. as well as every town
and village, has an efficient public
school
Mr.. Cade ought to make haste to
apologize!

EMPHASIZES IMPERIALISM.

Mr.. Ottenderfer, editor of the Stats
Zeitung, the great German paper OF
the East, voices the sentiment of the
almost solid German population when
he says:
II prefer Bryan's election to McKin-
ley's reelection. A great ma
jority of the people do not wish to be
forced to vote for McKinleyism, i'm
perialism. and militarism, and / am
convinced that thousands and thous-
ands of voters who four years ago
preferred Mckinley to Bryan are now
ready to prefer Bryan to Mckinley"
Roosevelt's nomination for Vice
President vii strengthen the determi-
nation of all anti-imperialists to vote
against the Republican ticket. McKin-
ley's administration stands for inn
perialism and militarism, but Mr.. Nc
Kinley does not personally stand out
prominently as the embodiment of
militarism. The Germans, who are
racially hostile TO militarism, might
believe Mr.. McKinley's disclaimer of
carrying out militarism, for with his
usual habit of facing both ways, he
denies that he is bringing about a
policy of imperialism at the very time
his administration is fastening its
iron hands upon the Republic. But
Roosevelt is militarism incarnate. He
glories in war. blood and colonia ism.
He would like to take every weak
nation in the world and then fight the
strong nations for their possessions.
Nothing would so delight his heart
the desire of extending the national
domain. His nomination therefore
emphasizes and puts the question of
materialism in the very forefront of
the conflict, while Mckinley has
sought to fasten it on the people
while disclaiming any such intention.
Left of himself, Roosevelt would
openly proclaim his faith in big
standing army, worldwide conquest,
many, Great Britain and Russia III
gobbling up the earth. He would
make the United States one vast mill
tary camp, with bristling bayonets
and bursting shells, and find his high
est glory in shooting civilization into
the jewellers in the islands of the sea
with a Calling gun. Roosevelt'S en-
thusiasm in this policy may be mod
Grated during the campaign by Han
mas orders-for he is somewhat tract
able to boss rule after his apprentice
ship to Platt-but everybody knows
his position and every man who pre-
fers the Republic to the Empire in
stinctively fears the elevation of such
a man. Mckinley would black and
fir as seemed popular; Roosevelt
would ride rough shod over the Decla-
ration of independence and use the
out any computations or regrets. He
is positive force; if for right, Il
power; if for wrong, as in his enthus-
iastic espousal of militarism, he is
as dangerous to the life of the Repub-
lie, as the fathers founded it, as Ma
poleon was to France in his over
whelming ambition.

THE WHITE FOLKS ARE GETTING
TOGETHER.

The white folks are getting together
Almost every day we print the name
of some Populist or Republican who
will support the Amendment. Here
is another. Yesterdays Wadesboro
Messenger and Intelligencer had this
cheering item:
''Mr John S. Myers, who was last
Saturday elected president of the Gull
ledge township White Supremacy club,
has been a prominent Populist ever
If we mistake not, he was present at
its birth in this county in 1892 and
has been prominent and influential in
its councils ever since. He was chair
man of the Populist county executive
committee in 1896, and gave the Dem
ocrats the hardest fight they had had
since 1870. But Mr.. Myers has had
enough of fusionism and negro rule
and proposes in the future to stand,
or fall, with his white neighbOrs and
friends. He now expresses himself as
being heart and soul for the great
cause OF White Supremacy"
Except in three counties in North
Carolina, more Populists will vote for
the Amendment than will vote against
it. In the term 'Populist'' we do not
include any revenue officer or other
officer who holds office through the
Republican national administration
or who holds or who seeks office at
the hands of the negroes. Omit these,
who are really Republicans and not
Populists, and more Populists will
vote for the Amendment than against
it.
