ant as first reports made it appear. The g..
preme Court did not by any means declare tbo
Alabama suffrage laws constitutional; it stnd;
ously refrained from expressing any opinion
whatever, as the case was not brought in tho
proper form to make such an expression perti.
nent. The Court simply held that it had no riob+
to interfere in the execution of a State law: that
is a matter for the executive, not the judicial
department of government. For the negro Giles
it appears, asked not to uproot the Alabama con-.
stitutional amendment, but to compel the regis
tration of his name under the terms of the
amendment.

1.-The Progressive Farmer will be, in the broadcast sense
OF the word, a North Carolina paper. Serving no master
ruled by no faction, circumscribed by no selfish or narrow
policy, its aim will be to foster and promote the best interests
of the whole people of the State. 1t will be true to the in
sttncts, traditions and history of the AnglOSaXon race. On
all matters relating specially to the great interests 1t repre-
sents it will speak with no uncertain voice, but will fear
lessly the right defend and tmpartia1y the wrong con-
demn."-FrOm Col. Folks SalutatOry, February 10, 1886.

The Recru descence of Cleveland

"The Rectudescence of Cleveland "
Among the political spectators just now the
paramount question is, Can Cleveland get the
Democratic nomination? He is certainly more
popular than at any time for ten years past. It
is not surprising that his recent deliverance on
the negro question and negro education has
brought him new strength, North and South. for
it was one of the clearest and most sensible ut
terances on the race problem that we have had.
His St. Louis speech has also been well received.
Nevertheless, we do not believe that Mr.. CIeve-
land has any chance whatever of securing a third
term as President. He might overcome the op-
position of either George Washington or W. J.
Bryan singly, but the combination of the two
hopelessly bars him from success. Heretofore
there have always been enough believers in the
"no third term" doctrine to repel any attack up
on it, but if this vital objection were waived
in Mr.. Cleveland's case, he would find him
self quite as badly handicapped by the bitter OPP
position of the Bryan element of the Democratic
Party. Mr.. Bryan may not be able to name the
nominee next year, but he will be able to say who
must not be nominated, and Mr.. Cleveland heads
the list of his marked men. Mr.. Bryan and
George Washington make a combination not light
ly to be reckoned with.
Municipal and School Elections in North Carolina.
The municipal elections in this State last week
brought no important surprises except at AShe-
vile and Durham. In Asheville the Anti-Saloon
League led a vigorous crusade for moral reform
in city administration and opposed the regular
Democratic organization, but was defeated. In
Durham, to the surprise of everybody, the reform
ticket won a surprising victory. The elections
on the establishment of graded schools were prac-
tically all carried by the school advocates A
progressive step is to be taken by Alamance where
several rural graded schools are to be established
In seven of the nine townships that voted on the
question, schools were favored. And the Monroe
Journal reports that "two special tax elections
were held in Union County, and both carried
with little opposition. This makes four local tax
districts in Union County, and the prospects tnaV
there will before very long be others. BESIDE
these, there we're two high schools, WaxhaW anu
Unionville, where free instruction was onereu
to every child in the community last year 1or
eight or nine months"

RAILROADS PLAN
FOR MUCH NEW TRACK.

Notwithstanding absorption and
consolidation, there is still a large
amount of railway building planned
and in progress in the United States
The new mileage added during 1902
amounted to 1854 miles, and present
indications point to even a larger
mileage for 1903. In addition to the
track laid last year, there were about
1000 miles of line graded, on por-
ton of which track has been laid
since Jan. 1. Adding to the unconN-
pleted work carried over from last
year the mileage which has been
placed under contract since Jan. l, it
Is found that there are not less than
$500 miles of new line under contract
or under construction, with 2,780 miles
additional on which it is promised
that work will be undertaken during
the spring or summer.
The following table shows the geo
graphical distribution of the mileage

A Conversation With d
Climax.
when "a Professional Man Talks It's
to the Point.

Several famous American physicians
and surgeons were recently dining to-
sether after a session of a national
meeting held in New York.
Il had a remarkable case this win
ter" remarked a surgeon present,
whose name as d specialist in rectal
diseases is world wide. My patient
was a woman, a delicate. nerve racked
ceature, who had suffered so fearfully
from the ravageS of hemorrhoids, that
the knife seemed the only solution of
the trouble. and yet her heart was
weak and her strength so wasted by
this fearful disease that we dared not
operate.
Il had ceased my visits to her for a
time and had given up all hope, when
one morning she entered my Office
looking like a new woman: the pallor
had disa ppeared and the lines of suf-
fering We're nearly eradicated from her
face. She told me that she had pur-
chased a proprietary medicine, namely:
Pyramid Pile Cure, and that from the
first insertion of the suppositories she
had obtained instant relief. l made an
examination and found the rectum in
excellent condition, the Inflammation
entirely disappeared and the swollen
veins in normal condition.
Il was so interested in the case that
I had the remedy analysed carefully
and was so pleased with the result OF
the analysis, finding a combination of
the most healing and scientific rene
dies present in the Pyramid Pile Cure
and in a more convenient form than
could secure them otherwise, that l
wrote to the Pyramid Drug Company
at Marshall, Mich, asking for their
booklet on Piles, their Nature, Cause
and Cure (Which by the way is sent
free). and have since used their Pile
Cure extensively and with best results
in my practice. / do not hesitate to
recommend it to you all. 1t will often
save your patient from a painful surgi-
cal operation which in many cases re-
suits fatally"

The circular is printed under a fac
simile of a forged check for $50, and is
as follows:
Baltimore, March goth, 1903.
We had a trick come off here on
Monday, March 10th, 1903. A man went
into one of the prominent Dry Goods
Stores in this city about $3.50 P. NJ,
and asked If they would cash a check
for a firm across the street, naming
the firm, he was told yes. In a few
minues he returned in his shirt sleeves
and a apron on and presented the above
check. The check bearing the name
of the firm in purple stencil across one
end, the date in green stencil and the
number in red stencil. The amount of
the check which was $500 was per-
forated.
His description is as follows: Age

weight, think he has dark hair and

ELkS DID HONOR
TO DISTRICT DEPUTY.
Elk Martins EuIogy of EIkdOm and
Savannah.

Savannah.
At one of the happiest of it's many
sessions Savannah Lodge of Elks last
night entertained District Deputy f.
L. Martin of Macon. The Elks gath
cred in numbers to entertain the Elk
whose name they first suggested for
the position he now holds.
In addition to being district deputy
of the Georgia Elks Mr. Martin is
prominent in business affairs in Ma
con, and is president of the Macon
Chamber of Commerce. He is a man
of charming personality and for years
was engaged in the newspaper bust
ness Upon his arrival in the city he
was met by Exalted Ruler w. ]. Wat
son and Elks w. w. Starr, William 7.
Dixon, T. f. Thomson and John j. Kir-
by, and was taken at once to the De
Soto, where he was the guest of honor
at dinner.
Deputy Martin was shown some
thing of Savannah and was charmed
This is a most remarkable city," he
said. 1T enchants, it enthrills, it en-
chains. Once here we hate to leave it.
1t is captivating in the extreme, and
Sayannah's hospitality is unequaled."
At the lodge meeting in the evening
Deputy Martin in an eloquent manner
portrayed the beautiful teachings of
the order. The speaker was applaud
ed again and again. 1t was one of
the most graceful and timely talks
that the Savannah Elks had ever list
ened to. At the close the applause
was loud and Deputy Martin was
forced to stand bowling for a minute
or more.
1T has been said that the sweetest
melody that falls upon the enraptured
ears of those who find a haven in the
spirit land comes not from heavenly
harp or golden lutte, but is found in
the welcome, welcome Of the loved
ones there" said Mr.. Martin. For
your gracious, generous greeting l am
profoundly thankful, and beg to ten
der assurances that the words of well
come so eloquently extended by the
distinguished past district deputy
could not have fallen on more APP
preciative or more grateful ears than
mine.
