Nave Changed Front.

It currently reported that the councilmen who voted to postpone action upon the ordinance exclud- ing women from saloons, have since admitted their error, and on Thurs day notified the rest of the board that they would like to have a special meeting called at once to report and act upon the ordinance, which they assured the others would be reported just as originally drawn. They were told fiatly that the ordinance would have to come back from the ordinance committee just in that form, or it would not be acceptable to the people.
 At this writing Friday morning. it is not known what is the inten- tion of Mayor Kelsey in the matter whether he will call the meeting or ignore the request. But 1t Is amusing to see how quickly some people can change front when they have to do so. Of course, in this case their change of front is com mendable; but they should have thoroughly considered the question in all of its lights before taking the stand they did, to only beat an in- glorious retreat before the end of week.
 LATER:-It is reported that Fri day morning the ordinance com mittee held a meeting and decided unanimously to report the ordi- nance without change

The Same Old Story.

J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which has happened in almost every neighborhood in the United States, and has been told and retold by thousands of others. He says: Last summer 1 had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Rem edy, which 1 used according to di- rections and with entirely satisfac- tory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than for mer attacks when I used other remedies" Mir. Kelly is a we'll known citizen of Henderson, N. C., For sale by L. w. Mix < Co.

the South Fork of the Big Sunhower
river that Henry Plymshaw, the in

with cyclones, writes Ii. V. Mari, in
Iarpcr's Magazine.
One afternoon Inventor PIymshaw
saw Il splendid specimen OF a funnel
cyclone coming over the prairie. and
he called TO me and said we would 90

that it was going to one side. The in
slant the cyclone sighted us it came
straight in our direction. We
weren't prepared for this exactly, so
all we could do was to run We were

Anti-imperiahst pronunciamentoes

called themselves 1.-The people" The
names appended to these documents
do not cover a very wide range, and are
familiar in the literature of complaint.

The trouble with the anti-imperial-

have just addressed TO President
Roosevelt is that they insist upon the
facts agreeing with their theories
The result is a distortion of vision,
which makes these men perverted OBJ

have developed in suppressing the in

THE VILLAGE PHILOSOPHER.

Down at the corner grocery store
Sat Billings. HIATT a dozen more
Were grouped about the stove that day
To hear what Billings had TO say.
Taint my fault l was born SO Late
Here Billings lit his pipe-"It's fate;
Yes. fate that shapes the lives o. men

Back yonder when the world was new

Fer anybody to advance.

There's nothin' left fer any ONE
Here Billings paused and took a few
Long lingering whiffs. and softly blew
The smoke in clouds above his head.
And thought q while. and tlien he said:

And then with something like a smile
He added: Guess they'd got the worst

HELP THE WORKINGMEN.
some hard Facts Regarding Capt.
tniistic Combinations for Demo-
Gratis to Cope with.

The democrats are preparing :,
charge In the coming campaign that
the extension of American trade IN
foreign markets as result of capitai-
istic combinations in this country has
not been beneficial to the American
people, says the Cleveland Leader.
They will, however, be confronted
by some hard facts in the statistics
OF foreign trade which are issued by
the treasury bureau of statistics. Ac-
cording to these figures, products Of
American factories of the value of
S215,OOO,O 900 were sold in European
markets during the fiscal year ended
on June 80. OF these exports iron and
steel were valued at $43. OOo. OOS; con-
per manufactures at Sal, 600. OOO; oil at
S4O,00O,0OO; leather at S21, 900. 600, and
agricultural implements at S1O5O0,-
coo.
Had there not been a foreign mar
ket available for these products the
surplus of S215,oOO,OoO would either
have remained to glut the home mar
ket or production would have had to
be curtailed in that amount. The sale
Of these products in European mar
ket. means a big return to American
wOrkingmen upon their toll. 1t is es-
timated that at least 40 per cent of the
cost of manufactured product is paid
in the wages of labor, and that means
that $S6,000,00O has come to American
workingmen in wages on the produc-
ton of the manufactured goods sold IN
