At the meeting of the Electoral College
held in Raleigh yesterday, Mr.. Henry L.
Cook, of Fayetteville, put William Jen-
nings Bryan in nomination for President
and said:
Mr Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Electoral College,:
| have the honor and privilege of plac-
ing before this college for the exalted
position of President of the United States
the most illustrious citizen of the Re
public.
In doing so | but obey the command and
voice the sentiments of a great majority
of the best citizens of North Carolina. at
whose behest. and in whose name, we
have the honor to meet this day to per-
form for them one of the most important
functions which a State can exercise in
it's relations with the Federal Govern
ment.
| say most important advisedly, for
upon the integrity, ability and patriotism
of the chief executive of the national de-
Pends, in a large measure, the stability
of government and the preservation of
the constitutional rights and liberties OF
the American people.
In view of the vital issues of the late
campaign as affecting the fundamental
principles upon which the structure of our
government and its institutions rests and
the conspicuous fidelity of the people OF
North Carolina to those principles, it
might be profitable as we'll as appropriate
to recall the prominent part North Caro-
lima has always taken in the affairs of
the government from its inception to the
present day.
1t will be of benefit to the people, and
especially, to the youth of the State that
we should briefly refer to the leading part
our people took in the formation OF the
general government, as this part of oIr
history is inspiring and unusually inter
esting at this time as indicative of the
most natural position assumed by our
people in the late contest upon the new
and untred experiment up which the Re-
publican administration has launched the
government.
1t was at Mecklenburg Court House,
now the beautiful and thriving city OF
Charlotte, that her patriots met on May
20, ITS and gave utterance to the first
: declaration of independence, in which they
asserted their right to be free, and their
determination to no longer submit to the
dominion of foreign potentate.
This was followed in June about one
month later by the people of Cumberland
at Cross Creek now my own town of
Fayetteville, who met at the old historic
spot to this day called Liberty Point
and gave forth a similar declaration and
that too before the news of the Neck
lenburg declaration had reached them.
From that time forward their lives and
fortunes were freely given to make good
that declaration and right nobly did they
sustain it at Moore's Creek, Kings Noun
tain Guilford Court House and other
great battletields of that memorable con-
fiict of seven years duration, and their
valor and patriotism illumine the pages
of history and excite our pride.

LOST THE GAME.
High school Team Not Big Enough for
Des mOines

The High school boys suffered
defeat of 81 to in their game with
East Des Moines Saturday morning.
The Des Moines team played the
same game they played on the Penn
gridiron a few weeks ago but the
Oskaloosa boys seemed to have lost
their grit. They were simply run
over and could do nothing with their
opponents. The line was so weak
that four times the Des Moines line
crowded through and blocked the
play. The boys seemed to become
disheal tened when Watson and Gate
wood were knocked ont, from that on
the play was exceedingly poor.
Some one sent a bogus telegram,
saying that Ed Parry, the big left
guard, was knocked out and the
news 30 Frustrated his parents that
he has been compelled to resign his
place on the team.

A TOUCH OF WINTER.
Snow and Ice for the First Time this
Season.

The mercury slipped down from So
Saturday evening at 10 O'Clock to %
at O'Clock Sunday morning. The
change brought along about two inch
es of snow and the jingle of sleigh
bells chimed out merrily on Sunday.
Though several frosts have visited
this section before they were not of
the killing kind, and the severe
change of Saturday night caught
plants and many things exposed. Ice
half an inch thick was formed, and
upon awakening in the morning one
found himself transposed from the
balmy scenes of summer into the
snow clad landscape of winter.

vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.

ment of CrOps-BusInesS Is
Expanding Rapidly.

New York Nov. 2-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Although
the latest railway returns indicate that
transporting facilities have greatly i'm
proved, the nations business has expand
ed more rapidly. Car shortage has in fact
become the chief retarding influence.
From all sections of the country and many
lines of industry complaints are heard re-
gardlng the inability to move goods. Prob
ably the delay has been most aggravating
in the case of coal, unseasonably high tenn
perature alone preventing serious incon-
Venlence. Not only are domestic require
ments enormous, but coal is becoming an
important article Of export, partly owing
to labor controversies in France and Great
Britain and also to the British export tax
Mild weather affects retail distribution to
a very marked degree, orders for heavy
weight goods being Cancelled in some
cases where manufacturers were behind
with deliveries. That the volume of legit-
innate business is not being curtailed, how
ever, is evidenced by the gain in bank ex-
changes at New York of IA per cent over
last year and 10 per cent. over the same
week in 1899 At other leading cities the
increase is equally striking, 20.1 per cent
over 1900 and $40 over 1899.
mot only are steel mills many months
| behind orders and prompt deliveries COM

are ready for customers It Is often impos-
slble to ship because Of inadequate rail-
way facilities. Structural material is

rail orders increase and the fancy prices
asked for blllets have brought imports
from Germany. where Industrial depres-
| sion makes 1t possible to sell at very low
figures"
Bradstreet's says: THE complaints of
car shortage are repeated this week in an
| even greater degree. At best, however,
| this is only a negatively unfavorable cir
cumstance, and is the best Of proof that
an enormous volume of business is doing
| throughout the country. Unseasonably
warm weather is likewise complained OF
| as interfering with or checking retail dis
! tribution Of clothing shoes and other fall
| and winter goods, and dulling the usual
] reassorting demand from jobbers east and
/ west. Wheat has felt the influence of the
| heavy movements Of grain at the north
west, heavy increases in visible supplies in
| Manitoba and rather less critical advices
| from Argentine. In addition, the stories
of dizziness and depression in the export
| business have affected trade, though it is
| to be noted that wheat and corn shipments
| together since July ! are heavier than a
year ago. Hog products are lower, 1t is
claimed, because of packers manipulating
| the hog market, but the recent high prices
| appear to have checked consumption.
Among the staples advancing, corn is prom
| inent, though held down slightly by wheat.
| A large shortage interest is said to exist
| in that grain, and wet weather and good
| buying have stimulated prices Of that prod
uct and of oats"
