SENATOR SIMMONS SOUNDS THE
KEYNOTE.

The speech made by Hon. f. NJ SIM
mons, chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, in Greensboro,
yesterday in calling the State Convention
to order, was in many respects the lest
speech Senator Simmons ever made. 1t
was a clear-cut, strong, opposite, able
and vigorous presentation of the issues
of the campaign, State and National. 1t
leaves nothing necessary 20 be said as
giving convincing argument why the
Democratic party deserves to be con-
tinued in power.
His review of the great work for edu-
cation, for charity and patriotism will
quicken the pulses of all true North
Carolinians who love the honor of their
State, and his contrast of the record of
the Fusion with the Democratic State
administrations must give cause for
rejoicing to every Democrat who bore
part in the great campaign that returned
the Democratic party to power. In The
with clearness and power, by the State
chairman. the little Republican partisars
who seek to make mountains of criti-
cism out of mole hills will merit the
condemnation of all North CaroliEians
who believe in educating the children,
caring for the unfortunate and pension
Upon the attitude of the two parties
toward the amendment, Mr.. Simmons
speaks wisely. Here is the way lie SIMS
up the whole matter:
I'VE have the ,righr, and it is our duty
III my Judgment in these circumstances,
TO Say to the Republican party: You are
demanding a change of policies and poll
teal conditions in North Carolina or ac-
count of the amendment. We demand
that you define your attitude towards
the measure. If you accept it, say SO,
If you propose to attack its validity.
now or hereafter, say so, and say so in
terms that mean yes or no. Al answer
that means yes or no, or neither as future
eXpediency may suggest, will not be ac-
cepted until this answer is forthcoming.
Until the amendment is accepted as a
finality by all parties, or until it is judi
cially established, if it is to be attacked,
IT WILL BE THE DUTY OF THE
WHITE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO
STAND TOGETHER FOR IT'S PRO-
LECTION AND THEIR PROTEC-
TION.'
Well said, Every Democrat in the
State and every man who believes in
maintaining White Supremacy will APP
prove that declaration.
Upon national politics, in his brief
discussion of the great questions that
will be debated fully in the campaign,
Mr.. Simmons IS equally effective. His
presentation of the trust issue is parti-
cularly striking and forcibie. 1t IS an
Indictment of the Republican programme
that will stand.
The State chairman has sounded the
keynote of the campaign. The issues
he has discussed will be uppermost in
every county, and as the people read the
issues as presented they will turn a
deaf-car to those who would restore the

Diseordant Element.

The discomfort of the negro and
mongrel element in the Cuban popu-
lation makes the failure of recipro-
city with the island even more unfor-
tunate than it would be otherwise.
If Cuba had been treated fairly, all
classes of the population would have
been prosperous and therefore peace
full, at least for the time being, and
until their own government could get
the public business into good run
ming order. As it is, the prevalent
discomfort is taking the form of race
animosity, which, in community
like that of Cuba, is the worst form
of trouble.

A July snowstornl

In the year 1850 snowstorm
swept over New York on the 5th o1
July. It was Monday, and the fire
works, which were then set off in
front of the city hall in celebration OF
the glorious Fourth, had been kept
over from Saturday. The weather
was pleasant enough in the morning
during the greater part of the after.
noon, hut toward dusk heavy clouds
appeared in the sky, a northwest
wind followed, the thermometer went
down to 81 degrees-one degree be.
low freezing-and the snowfakes
came down at lively gait. Men
who went out that night wore their
winter overcoats and did not find
them uncomfortable, for the colo
lasted for hours.

Pats Point Of View.

A bishop was travelling in mining
country and encountered an old Irish
man turning a windlass which hauled
up ore out Of a shaft. It was his
work to do this all day long. His
hat was off, and the sun poured down
on his unprotected head.
"Don't you know the sun will in
iure your brain if you expose it in
that mannelr' said the good man.
The Icishman wiped the sweat off
his forehead and looked at the clergy
man.
"Do ye think I'd be doing this all
day if I had any brains?" he said,
and then gave the handle another
turn.

Must Have Been Paregoric.

"This search of the Democrats
after an issue in the Philippines,
said Representative Olmstead of
Pennsylvania; according to the New
York World, reminds me of client
of mine the necessities of whose large
family, recently augmented by twins,
made him poor. He came to me
joyfully one day and said he had found
oil flowing from spring on his land.
The bottle containing the sample
which be brought me had evidently
seen family use, but I forwarded it to
an expert for analysis. The reply
dashed to the earth the hopes Of my
client and myself. The expert said:
"'Find no trace of oil. Think your
friend has struck paregoric."

Why They Shave Mules.

Martha Mccullough Williams in
the course of the narrative OF ''Next
to the Ground" explains many Gus
toms and superstitions peculiar to the
negroes.
Not the least interesting of these
is the reason given for the shearing
of mules.
"When it came to shearing mules"
Mrs. Williams writes, "Dan was an
artist. He had spent two hours or
more at it the day before. Names
were trimmed to hslf-inch upstand-
ing fringes, tails banged to the pert
est tasseled tip, even the ears had
been shorn of their long inner hairs.
Dan had firm faith in witches. Now
witch, it is we'll known, cannot ride
down q horse or mule unless there are
hairs long enough to twist into a
stirrup. Dan had not left a single
long one-hence be was satisfied the
teams would thrive and stand up to
their work, not to name being ever
90 much more bidsdle since witches,
working unhindered, put the devil
into the best broken of them"

70 Suppress all Gambling.

Columbia, S. c., July GA mass
meeting was held at the opera house
for the purpose Of taking some def
mite action for the suppression of the
gambling evil. The meeting was
largely attended and was thoroughly
representative.
After speeches by several promi-
nent citizens, resolutions were adopt
ed calling upon the mayor, council
and board of police commissioners Of
this city to suppress gamblers and
gambling of every form.
A committee of five was appointed
OF present these resolutions to the
council at it's next meeting and to
present copies to the board of police
commissioners.

Easy to Answer.

A correspondent, says the Joplin
(Mo.) Globe, asks: "What was the
most potent factor in defeating Mr..
Bryan in 1896" This question is
easy to answer. The rotten planks
in the platform upon which he stood
was the most potent factor. The pu-
trifying carcasses of the dead past
will kill any man, or party.

Reading in Bed.

Reading in bed has almost univer-

both the vision and the general health
by physicians and laymen alike.
There is comfort, however, for those
who indulge in this practice in this
statement of a Pennsylvania physi-
clan who maintains that reading in
recumbent position is actually a ben
eft, not an injury. He reasons it out
in technical terms and also in langu-
age which an ordinary lay brother
comprehend. Whenever possible, he
says, We bring gravity into play to
relieve congestion, especially that of

Taft's Mission.

Rome, July l0-It became known
today that the difference Of opinion
was so strong among the Cardinals
at the meeting to prepare the answer
to the Taft proposal that a stormy
scene ensued. Cardinal Steinhuber
vigorously opposed Rsmpalla Sirapto
and Vannitsllix. The plans of those
who were willing to concede Taft's
demand as to the friars withdrawal,
ultimately succeeded in gaining a
majority against the expulsion Of the
friars from the Philippines. This is
generally considered to mean the de,
feat of Taft's Mission.
