Dreadful Attack of Whooping Cough.

Mrs. Ellen Harrison, of 300 Park Ave.
Kansas, City, Mo-, writes as follows
Our two children had severe attack
of whooping cough, one of them in the
paroxyism of coughing would often
faint and bleed at the nose. We tried
everything we heard of without getting
relief. We then called in our family
doctor who prescri ed Foley's Honey
and Tar. With the very first dose they
began to improve and we feel that it has
saved their lives. Refuse substitutes.

One reason why the Republican party
has made no greater progress in North
Carolina is because it denies freedom to
think or to act to men belonging to that
party. 1t came into power in North
Carolina in 1894. From that day, as to
the distribution of Federal patronage and
the control of State politics, one man and
one man only has been its absolute czar
or dictator. No Republican, no matter
what his ability, party service, or charac-
ter, could get an office unless he rendered
''villien service" to the boss-Senator
Pritchard And when Senator Pritchard
was given a judicial position, he turned
over his ownership of the party 10 his
son-in-law Mr.. Rollins. Such a thing,
| attempted in the Democratic party, would
lave cost father-in-law and son-in-law
their power. In fact no Democrat would
| have dared to attempt such bosssm The
Chatham Record brings this out strongly
in the following editorial in this week s
paper:
"One man has supreme and complete
control of the Republican party in North
Carolina, and he is Mr. Thomas S. Rol-
| Inns, the chairman of the Republican state

and authority of Mr.. Rollins, President
Roosevelt has himself officially recognizee

WHAr STAY AT HOME FOLKS
HAVE DUNE

The Manufacturers Record copies most
in the News and Observer during the Re
union at Greensboro. showing how much
the stay-at-home North Carolinians have
accomplished in every line of activity and
progress. 1t also copies an extract from
the speech of Col. Morehead along the
same line. 1t then adds:
AN epitome of material achievements
may be given in few typical figures.
Because of the wanderings of her sons,
the population of North Carolina increas-
ed during the past twenty years but 80
per cent, while that of the United States
increased 81 per cent. But in spite of the
wanderings of her SONS, thus rejected IN
the comparatively small rate of increase
in population, the State increased the
value of its agricultural products - per
cent, as against 113, per cent. for the
whole country, and the value of it's man
ufactured products 372 per cent, rs
against 142 per cent. for the whole coun-
try. At the same time it reduced its white
illiteracy from 21.5 per cent. to 49, per
cent, and its negro illiteracy from ia
per cent. to 47.6 per cent, and rs the re-
union itself demonstrated, retained its
quota of ora tors
"Of course, no one would accuse these
sturdy stay-at-homes of being wor1d-com-
handing. Tt is probaofe that they them
selves would not like to be thus c!larac-

remained quietly at home. braVely facing

BOOKER WASHING TON TO-DAY

Booker T. Washington will speak at the
Negro State Fair today at twelve o'clock.
He is the acknowledged educational leader
OF the negro race and has built up at Tus-
keegee an industrial school that is known
throughout the world That school re-
celves an annual appropriation from the
State of Alabama, and in his policy of in
dustrlal education its president has had
the endorsement and support of the lead
ing men of Alabama
The future of the negro race mainly lies
in the South at least for the next half
century. The South needs him in its ag-
ricultural development and he can find no
home in this broad land so good for him
as in the Southern States Therefore the
best friend of the negro is the man who
helps to fit him for his life-work in the
land of his birth, who breaches industry
and right living to him, an. seeks to make
him think more of the real objects of life
than the appearances. 1t is because Book
er Washington in his school room, on the
platform and in his books has preached the
gospel of industry and economy and right
living that he has obtained the ear and the
support of so many Americans in the
South and in the North His influence is
far-reaching and very great He will
doubtless today give wise admonition to
the members of his race who have come
to Raleigh to hear him.

A MORAL FOa EDITORS.

The recent tragic death of Hon. Samuel
E. Morse, editor of the Indianapolis Sen
tinei makes pertinent another observa-
ton about editorial office holding. Short
" after his second Inauguration, President
Cleveland rendered the appointment Of
Consul General to Paris to Mr.. Morss,
who was then at the head of the leatng
and most prosperous Democratic paper in
Indiana. Mr. Morss was ambitious for
public honors, he accepted the position,
and spent four years at Paris. Upon his
return he found that his paper had lost
much of its prestige and income and he
had not been able up to the time of his
death to restore it to its old
time prosperity and power.
As long as he remained at the helm in
indianapolis, MI. Morss could exert sal
utary influence in politics and keep his
paper up to the standard. When he ac
cepted office and went abroad, two things
happened: l. The people felt that his ut
terances were colored by his office; 2. The
business fell away.
Moral: Editors should not abdicatl
their important and useful position in th'
sanctum to take less honorable and les
useful public offices.
