Mere Bachelors Than Women

At last there are more bachelors than
sDinsters in this country. The femi-
nine portion Of our communities will
be much interested in this fact which
has resulted from the census of 1900.
Now it has always been popularity sup
posed that the spinsters predominated,
and this current belief has been as a
thorn in the side Of woman for the
mere existence Of a bachelor requires,
for the intelligent curiosity of the gen.
tier sex, an explanation. Without an
explanation. he is in himself, as it
were, an eloquent reflection upon the
charm Of womankind, and every
woman in her own person resents a
slight to the sisterhood. Now that the
census has cleared the question of false
statistics, and the residual fact remains
that the bachelors predominate, it be-
comes incumbent upon us to inquire
why this is So And the inquiry hav-
ing scarcely proceeded beyond the first
statement of the case. we find, as ever
that woman is the guilty party! For
with the known inconsequence of the
sex. it is she who is consciously and
voluntarily Responsible lot unS pItuolnl-
nence of the unmarried man. We
learn that the fashionable matron de-
liberately makes him her pet-that she
has so systematically performed this
rite over him that his species has been
separated into kinds. of which 'ithe
corner" "the dancing man" "the din
ner man." ETC.. are the best known and
most carefully cultivated varieties. Sc
highly considered and so actively in
demand. so dined and wined, are these
popular unmarried men that their per
sonal expenses are reduced to a mini.
mum. and they become among meI
even as the lilies of the field. They
are. so to speak, the supernumerarie;
in the drama Of life. to be engaged al
occasion requires. And woman, deai
delightful, impetuous, generous bu
unrefecting woman, is the stage mana
ger who is hoisted by her own petard
While. therefore, the census of 190C
possesses for woman. as we have init
mated. unusual interest, it is also re

What is the secret Of success Of the
Surprise Store? Never before was
heard of buying mems and boys wear
at prices the Surprise Store offers. No
merchant has ever offered such low
prices. neither retail nor wholesale, at
the price the Surprise Store offers con-
stantly. No store In the State has ever
prevented the worriment of parents to
dress their children. A sum Of $40
was no account whatever to dress
your child-the Surprise Store pre-
vents all this. And still they keep
growing up and up. Here we see in
newspapers that the Surprise Store is
looking for more room, here we hear
that the Surprise Store has obtained
the entire buildings, Nos. 302 Market
and Z East Third street, from basement
to roof, to accommodate consumers,
more room and larger quantities
There is no secret: in the beginning
we adopted a principle which we found
was the key to our success in our line
We realized that the more we helped
The consumer, the more we would help
ourselves. This principle was a a gem
eral one. We wanted to live up to it in
Ia principle way. We determined first to
get mems and boys wear so excellent
in quality that they would not only
satisfy but please, and bring our con-
sumers back for more. Big sales
and small profits are our everlasting
foundation. 302 Market street, Sur

SHOULD NOT BE CONFIRMED.

The report comes from Washington
confirmation of Mr.. Mullen as postmas-
ter at Charlotte. 1t is to be hoped that
the report is true, and that he VIII make
his opposition earnest and effective.
Here is the situation: President
Roosevelt re-appointed Mr.. Mullen as
postmaster at Charlotte. While his name
wa sbefore the Senate for confirmation
the Charlotte postmaster went to Wash
ington. ''tanked up and for his drunken
conduct the President promptly and
wisely withdrew his name from the con-
Sideration of the Senate. All the State
applauded this civic virtue N the new
President and rejoiced that he lad been
courageous enough to turn down a
drunken official.
Cloce upon the heels of Mr.. Roosevelts
eommendable withdrawal pressure, po-
bear upon the President to reconsider
and give Charlotte drinking postmas-
ter. The whole thing was disgraceful
and eliminated in Roosevelt's disgrace
full back-down and re-appoiEtment of
Mullen, after he had in righteous rebuke
withdrawn his name from the Senate. In
a western territory Mr.. Roosevelt with
drew an unworthy name he had sent to
the Senate, and refused to listen to
promises of reform. But in North Caro-
lima, he retracts and names the man he
has declared is unworthy.
We have heard many encomiums upon
Mr.. Roosevelt's elevation of the char
acter of public officers and the like. If
we are to judge by his Charlotte appoint
ment, it is laudation to which he is not
justly entitled.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Saves Former Member of the In
diana Legislature.
This is the Season u Use The Great Med cine
if You Would Banisn The Seeds of
Disease from The SYSTEM;

On every hand we see men and women
who at this season should be active, hale
and strong, losing flesh and weight, look
ing pale and languid. We hear them
complain of weakness, pain in the chest,
backache and sideache, Their friends
note with alarm the pale cheeks and sun
ken eyes; the color of the skin gives evil
dence of blood impurities.
All! reader, these are all indications
that the deadly dregs of grippe have
permeated the whole system, distributing
poisons and impurities in blood and It's
sues.
Act at once with wisdom and decision;
you cannot afford to lose precious time
experimenting with medicines that have
no reputation, that have no positive vic
tories to their credit.
Heaven help you to use the life saver
that rescued and. saved Mr.. Stephenson.
While in a perilous condition of health,
Providence truly directed Mr.. Stephen
son to make use of Paine's Celery Com
pound. The 6rst bottle produced mar
velous and happy effect; his life blood
was being freshened and enriched; his
appetite was improved; strength was
taking the place of weakness; and the
rudy tinge of health was apparent in
the once pale face. Mr.. D. T. Stephen
son, of Pilot Knob, Ind, writes as fol-
lows:
Some years ago while serving as a
member of the Indiana Legislature,
contracted a severe case of grippe, and
was run down and completely out-of-
sorts, and found but little relief from any
remedy until I tried Paine's Celery Com
pound. The first bottle did me wonder
full and marked good, and it's continued
use for a short time, restored me to my
usual vigOr and freshness. Your Paine's
Celery Compound has been used by my
family since then for general prostra-
tion of the system, with the most graft
flying results. Paine's Celery Compound
is a great quieter and restorer of the
nerves to their normal condition; indeed
its action on the nerves and nerve
centres has been most gratifying in my
case"

ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT.

There are not many days left for
parties desiring to vote in the November
election to pay their poll tax. Unless
they pay by the first day of May, they
cannot vote, but they will be compelled
to pay their poll tax after that date.
In some counties the Democratic
leaders are exerting themselves to bring
this important matter to the attention of
every white voter. In every county Re-
publican politicians are assessing office
holders to raise the money to pay the
poll tax for negroes. In some counties
the Democratic leaders are idle when
they ought to be hard at work. In An
son county the Democratic committee
adopted this resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the chairman of each pre-
cinct committee call meeting of his
committee for Saturday, 5th day Of April,
for the purpose of putting such ma
chinery in motion as they deem neces-
sary to get Democratic voters to pay
their poll tax before May 1st. These
meetings to be held at the various vot-
ing precincts at 2 o'clock in the after
noon"
The Democratic committee in every
county of the State ought to adopt that
or some other method equally as effec-
tive for bringing this matter to the at
tention of all the white voters.
The time is short. They should act at
once.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-04-03

it is right and proper. But the Colonel
writes most graphically and forcibly when
he comes to deny that the money is to
be used to pay poll tax for negro voters,
but he does not tell us how the money is
TO be used, He evidently regards his an
swer to that charge as complete for he
says: 1.-THE negroes who will be able to
pass before the registrars will be as
scarce as hens teeth" Therefore, pro-
ceeds Col. Shook, the Republicans would
be idiots to use their money to pay the
poll tax of negro voters.
If We correctly gather Col. Shocks
meaning, he thinks Federal officehoders,
transformed from field hands at eight
dollars a month TO lucrative Federal posi-
tions" ought to contribute largely to the
Republican campaign fund of the differ
ence between the eight dollars a month
they received as field hands and the
large salaries they get as Federal office
holders"
Colonel Shook will find that he has
dull lot of pupils if he expects all the
ex- ''field hands" to take his view of the
liberal contributions which they ought to
make. By the way, what salary did Col
Shook receive before he was trans
formed" into Federal off1ceholder? Does
he practice what he breaches? Some of
the men he is roasting may think to ask
that question.
