HOW 1T IS DONE.

The first object in life with the Amcri-
can people is to "get rich;" the second,
how to regain good health. The first can
be obtained by energy, honesty and saw
ing; the second, (good health) by using
Green's August Flower. Should you be a
respondent sufferer from any of the ef-
fects of Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, APP
pendicitis, Indigestion, etc., such as Sick
Headache, Palpitation of the Heart, Sour
Stomach, Habitual Costiveness, Dizziness
OF the Head, Nervous Prostitution, Low
Spirits, ETC., you need not suffer another
Cay. Two doses of the well-known August
Flower will relieve you at once. Go to

ONLY POSSIBLE TROUBLE AT
STATE CONVENTION ELIMINATED

Enough counties have acted to make 1t
certain that there will be no contest
over the Chief Justiceship in the State
| Convention at Greensboro. 1t is to be
hoped that every other county will act,
so that ting people in their county con-
ventions will instruct their delegates be-
fore they leave their homes. Such ac-
| tion eliminates all discussion of the
| Chief Justiceship and the acrimonious
| debate that was one time threatened.
We like the way that the counties have
acted, instructing unanimously where
| there is no opposition to Judge Clark and
| taking a vote where there is division of
sentiment. This plan gives every Demo-
! crat fair hearing, and leaves the party
| free from embarrassment.
The counties have generally endorsed
Hon. James Y. Joyner for State Superin-
tendent of Schools. There is no opposi-
ton to his nomination in any quarter.
This is gratifying, for he is in every way
worthy and capable.
This leaves no contests over any po-
sition except the two Associate Justices
and the Corporation Commissioner, and
those contests between the able and
worthy gentlemen will be settled without
friction.
There is no division as to the issues
upon which the campaign is to be fought
Inasmuch as both the State and Ma
tional election will be held at the same
time, it is almost certain that the issues
that will be chiefly discussed will re-
late to the tariff, trusts, and our foreign
policy During the 1898 campaign State
issues were alone discussed. The same
was true during the State campaign of
1900, and as the result of the national
election was a foregone conclusion,
there was little discussion of national
issues or little debate except in two
Congressional districts
In the August election of 1900 the suf-
frage amendment to the constitution
guaranteeing white supremacy was rati-
fed. The election to be held in Novem-
Der is the first to be held under qualified
suffrage. The men who adopted that
amendment will need to stand together
to preserve the blessing of freedom from
danger of negro rule, which it temper
arily secures. The men who fought to
secure white supremacy are as Interested
in maintaining it as they were in secur-
ing it.
1t is Just two weeks tomorrow before
the State Convention meets at Green's
boro. 1t promises to be a great gather
ing of the best Democrats of the State
determined to nominate ticket OF the
best men, formulate a platform worthy
the intelligence and patriotism of the
party, and thereby deserve the victory
which the nomination of good men and
the declaration of sound principles
guarantees.

Plant System to Drop Female Employees

The Atlanta Constitution of Saturday
says:
Savannah, Ga, June 27.-The Atlantic
Coast Line has given notice in the au-
diting and freight claim departments of
the Plant system at Savannah that the
young women in the employ of the COM
pany will not be retained after August /.
This act, it is expected, will apply to
all the other departments of the Plant
System, and the young women employed
in them are anXiously awaiting the final
date which will cut short the tenure of
their positions.
This information came as a surprise,
as the young ladies, of whom there are
quite a large number emplyed by thoe
Plant System, thought that they would
be retained in the service of the Coast
Line. 1t seems, however. that it is the
policy of the Coast Line to employ only
men. The Young ladies are given a
month of grace in which to look for po-
sitions elsewhere. Some of them bctray
feeling over their displacement.

WHY NOT RALEIGH?

From all quarters come attractive pro-
grammes of big Fourth of July celebra-
tions in various towns and cities in North
universal and we are glad to see that it
is becoming more general. Why is there
no programme of attractions, including
a holiday, for the States capital city?
There is plenty of patriotism here.f 1t
would do Raleigh great good. Why not
have general holiday and a picnic with
fire works at the Park at night?

Wade Mecum Springs seems to have had
a remarkable beginning. Their opening
ball on Junes 21st was attended by $50
guests and was a brilliant affair. No
other North Carolina resort could make
such a showing this early in the season.
There seems to be something in and be-
hind this Wade Mecum movement be-
yond the ordinary. Their water is be-
ing marketed widely. They have scenery
and climate that astonish all who visit
the Sauratowns. They have acquired
thousands of acres of land and the money
seems to be forthcoming to make this the
first watering place in the land.

THEN AND NOW.

There was postmaster at Richmond
who spoke in uncomplimentaryrt of
President Andrew Jackson when Old
Hickory was President. He was an eff
ficient public officer and "Old Hickory
didn't turn him out. A lady employee in
Washington, capable and efficient wrote
a criticism of Mr.. Roosevelts Philippine
policy. She was beheaded and her bread
and butter taken from her.
1t is popularity supposed that Jackson S
time was one when love of spoils ran
rampant and when the manners of great
officials were less polished than today.
And yet Andrew Jackson's course toward
the Richmond postmaster stands in
marked contrast to his credit with the
removal from office by Roosevelt of the
accomplished lady.
We hayn't improved so much as we
think.
