FOURTH
Present alton Of
"The Messiah"
A Large Audience Was
Delighted.
A Brief History Of HandeI's Mas.
terpiece.

Every seat was taken in the large
auditorium, both on the floor and in
the gallery, of the First NJ. E. church,
Tuesday evening, when Prof. Geo.
Andrews began the overture of THE
Messiah" Handels greatest oratorio.
"'rhe Messiah" was written by
Handel in 1S42, for the relief of the
prisoners in the jails and in support
of n hospital and a charitable inn.
The grandeur and sustained power
of the oratorio style, the expressive
simplicity of his melody, and the
breadth and clarity of the harmonic
structure form the wonderful artistic
whole for which Handel is remarkable
in his numerous Oratorios.
The oratorio took London by storm
and during the rendition of the Halle
lujah chorus all were 50 affected that
King George III and the audience rose
as one man, and established a custom
that has endured to the present day.
Tuesday evenings presentation was
the fourth given in Akron by the Tues
day Musical club. 1t was fully equal
to any of the previous ones. From
the beginning of the overture to the
closing chorus, Worthy is the
I~mb," a period OF two and one half
hours, the closest attention of the
audience was held.
The solosts were Miss Pauline Hlk-
er, soprano, and Mr. Francis Sadlier,
bass, of Cleveland: Mrs. Morris Black,
contralto, of New York, and Mr.. James
Moore, OF Detroit. tenor.
Miss Pauline Hill1er sang 'I Know

MANHOOD SUFFRAGE.

The suggestion of Mr.. Wise that every
man in Virginia be given one vote and
that every man owning $500 worth OF
property be given two votes is not being
seriously considered. 1t is repugnant to
Democracy The truth is that, except for
the presence of the large and menacing
solid negro vote, all the Southern States
would stand for manhood suffrage, with
out any frills. There the thing to do is
to give the ballot to all white men by
some method, and then give the ballot
only to those negroes who show conclu-
sively their capacity to use it. That has
been the aim OF the Constitution makers
in all the Southern States. If any such
discrimination between whites as Mr..
Wise suggests should be incorporated, it
would be the entering wedge to destroy
all suffrage restrictions to curtail the ne
gro vote.

IN A NUT SHELL.

The day is passing when candidates are
successful by lodging all public questions.
The people wish men of convictions and
the courage of their convictions in public
office. Sometimes-too often-politicians
feel forced to take up a backboneless
man who has no record and who is
ready to believe the earth is fat or round
or to conceal all his opinions, in order
to get the office.
In marked contrast to such milk and
water candidates, is Hon. Dupont Guerry,
who announces his candidacy for Governor
of Georgia. He defines his position on all
public questions, declaring among other
things that he favors absolute prohibition
all over Georgia. AS to his views on cor
porations, he, in a nutshell, defines the
compel every candidate to take and live
up to before he can be elected. He says:
"In answer to questions as to my atti
tude toward corporations / will simply
say that 1 have no animosity toward
them, or any of them, and / conceive it
TO be as sacred an obligation of govern
ment to protect them in their rights as
natural persons.
but, as they are creatures of the law
and by means of the law have aggregat-
ed capital and increased power" contin-
ued Mr.. Guerry, Il think the law is more
responsible for the wrongs they do than
for wrongs done by natural persons and
that therefore, as well as a matter of
justice, corporations should be confined
in their actions as such and in the use
of their capital to their legitimate
spheres. They should not be allowed to
dominate our politics; to establish and
maintain Hobbies; and above all, they
should not be allowed to Cypress or in
timidate their employees"
Mr.. Guerry may not be nominated, but
his frankness and his honesty will set a
higher plane upon which his opponents
must mount in preliminary campaign.
There are many men who prefer to vote
for man who holds views in conflict with
their own views to supporting IAN availa-
BILE candidate" whose views are either
unknown or known to. be subject to
change" as his hackers may desire. For
example, Tom Reed is the sort Of candi-
date to be admired, whether endorsing
his views or not, while Mckinley is the
ideal candidate of those who talk much
of availability"

Of .he professors recently elected 70
chairs in North Carolina institutions

Why is this? Because, we suppose, the

It would really look as if North Carolina

case But it is not true we take it, for
there would be neither wisdom nor justice
in ignoring thoroughly competent profess

able to accomplish that. But until that

What the people of the State want done
and what the convention, we believe
must do before it can submit its work tC
the public with confidence is to leave the

ed vote except the vote of 4olored c'ti-

want. The property qualification with

What is a Democratic" was asked of

of Ohio, called familiarly "old Bill Allen, -

Democracy is a sentiment not to be
appalled,, corrupted, or compromised it
knows no baseness; it covers before nc
danger; it Expresses no weakness. 1t is
the sole conservator of liberty, labor, and
property. 1t is the sentiment of equal
rights, of equal obligatons-the very
spirit of liberty itself peryading the land. -

WATCH YOUR KIDNEYS.
They Indicate Good or
Bad Health.
FREE ADVICE GIVEN ABOUT THE
KIDNEYS

Kidney complaints usually commence
with cold chills, especially in the back
and loins, followed with fever and pain.
The pain extends to the bladder loins
and thighs. The urine becomes highly
colored or extremely light. 1t sometimes
looks red or blood-like with brick dust
sediment after standing; or it may be
stringy or milky and filled with albu-
men. When these conditions are allowed
to continue they result in one ore more
of the following diseases: Backache,
Weak Back, rheumatism, Govt, Dia-
betes, Bright's Disease, Gravel, Irritation
of the Bladder, Scalding of the Urine,
Swelling of the Ankles, Dropsy or some
other form of Kidney or Urinary Trouble.
Watch the kidneys for these diseases and
symptoms and take Stuart's Gin and

THE SOUTH LEADS.

The Textile World has an exhaustive ar
tiele giving the latest summary of the
textile industry in the United States.
There has been an increase in spindles
in all parts of the Union, the South alone
furnishing 81 per cent. We quote:
1--WE find that during the past year
there has been installed in the Southern
States 965,166 cotton spindles and 49,
80 cotton looms, or an increase of 16 ITO
per cent in the cotton spindles of that
section as compared with 71a per cent
increase for the whole country. This
shows how cotton spinning mills have
sprung up in the South, flooding the mar
ket with coarse yarns and bringing about
the extreme depression now existing in
that branch of the business. The in
crease of rs per cent, if continued, would
result in doubling the spinning capacity
of the country in less than ten years.
The Southern rate of interest would
double the number of spindles in four
and one-half years. The population of
the country at the rate of increase during
the pasts ten years would be doubled in
about thirty-five years"
In 1900 North Carolina had 1,499,5 $40
spindles and 81 1872 looms. In 1901 they
had grown to ,692, 1873 spindles and 49,
5SS looms. This State now has 10000
spndles in silk mills, an industry that
ought to grow to large proportions. The
knitting mills nave grown steadily and
profitably in North Carolina. In 1900
there were /, 4S2 knitting machines and in
1901 the number had grown to 2496, an
increase of over 900 in one year.
The Textile World touches upon mat
ter that has given concern to all mill
men when it says:
u1Hag the rapid increase of our textile
machinery and the lack of any cores
bonding increase in the outlet for goods
are to be found the causes for the de-
preston which has prevailed in every
branch of textile industry. The compare
sons which we have made may we'll
lead our textile manufacturers to the
conclusion that their attention may be
profitably employed in finding new out
let's for their manufactured goods
The markets are almost at our doors,
in this day of rapid transportation, il we
would only tear down the Chinese walls
of protection that have been erected to
prevent the larger markets and export
trade that are necessary for the outlet
for our manufactured goods.
