THE RICHARDSON BOOM.

The friends from Tennessee in Wash
ington Of Mr.. Richardson have recently
launched a boom for him for the dem
ocratic nomination for candidate for
vice president. AS to Mr.. Richardson's
illness for the position none can doubt,
but some of the southern newspapers
are doubling the expediency of at
tempting to put a southern man on the
ticket at this time. They think that
forty years is too soon after the close
of the war between the states and the
return of the southern people to their
former position as integral parts of
this union for the latter to insist upon
doing more than vote for the candi-
dates for president and vice president
whom the leaders of the party shall Sc
lect from north of Mason and Dixon's
line. If forty years is too soon for the
southern. by odds the larger portion
of the democratic party, to insist on
having due recognition at the lands of
the minority faction, when will hat
time ever come? Will fifty or seventy
five or a hundred years be too short a
time for those democrats who elect a
president whenever the party happens
on such luck be too soon for them to
insist on having something TO say about
the choice of the candidates? This may
be an inopportune time for the south
to insist on her section furnishing
one of the candidates on the ma
tional tickets: but there is one thing
of which we may be sure, and that is
the time for such action will continue
to be considered inopportune so long
as the south acquiesces in such con-
tention and does not insist on her
rights.

The Washington City correspondent
of the Charlotte Observer writes that
paper regarding the fight over The
postmastership at Wadesboro:
"A singular state of affairs has
arisen with reference to the contest in
progress over the postoffice at Wades-
borO. Mr.. Pritchard had endorsed Mrs
Odum for the place, but her nomina-
ton had been held in allegiance at the
instance of friends of j. F. Matheson,
who wanted more time in which to
present his claims. Recently Mr.
Matheson wrote Representative Black

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the Kings
household. but yours, ours, everybody's
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, finds allies
in the very elements, as colds, influenza,
catarrh. the grip and pneumonia do<in
the stormy month of March,. The best
way that we know Of to guard against
these diseases is to strengthen the sys-
tenn with Hoods Sarsaprilla-the great
est of all life guards. 1t removes the
conditions in which these diseases make
their most successful attack, gives
vligor n tone to all the vital organs
and functions, and imparts a genial
warmth to the blood. Remember the
weaker the system the greater the eX-
pOSure to disease. Hoods Sarilla
make the system strong.

Some of the papers of the state are
warning the people against allowing
negroes. disqualified by the recent fran.
chise amendment, to register for prohi-
bition elections. The fear is expressed
that one side or the other or both. in the
eagerness to secure voters. will illegally
register negroes. 1t is to be hoped that
no white men, no matter how anxious
to carry their towns or precinct for or
against the LIQUOR traffic will AXE this
unlawful course. But. still. should il
be done we do not see how it could
have such direful effects as some pre-
dict. 1t seems to be the opinion of some
writer's in the state press that if a ne
gro once gets On the registration book
his name must remain there and he be
allowed to vote thereafter in all cleo
fed or not: that if registered illegally
he becomes for all times a legal voter.
We cannot see it in this light. If a
man votes Illegally one time he does
iOl lAeISDS create LOT nlIlSel1 q right
to vote in future. If the man who is
disqualified registers and votes he is
indictable and so are all who aid and
abet him in his unlawful act. There
are many white men who were qualified
voters last fall and who did register
and vote at that election who may be
disqualified at the next regular election
by the fact that they will not have paid
their poll taxes by the time in the year
1904 specified by the constitution as
necessary TO qualify them as electors
in h election of the following fall.
Because their names were once on the
registration books does not permit them
to violate the constitutional provision
by voting under conditions prohibited
by that constitution. Equally so. if a
man who cannot read or write should
get his name on the registration books

ROOSEVELT AS A SWEARER.

President Roosevelt has another
is the cause. He o not want to go
down in history as the cussing presl-
dent. He should not take 1t so to heart
that he is published all over the land
as saying he would "see Senator Car
mack in hell before he would do him a
favor, for if "profane'' history is to be
believed the first president Of the Unit
ed States used frequently to indulge in
proper in polite society. Any how,
President Roosevelt seems to be ppos
ed to be considered as following in the
footsteps of his luxurious predecessor
in this respect. We are told that when
he saw the newspaper eports of his
emphatic language used to a Tennessee
delegation regarding a certain senator
from that state he sen for the epre-
sentative of the New York Times, in
which paper the article first appeared,
and gave hin a positive denial of the
charge. Senator Carmack, though,
does not accept this denial as correct.
He says the presidents remarks about
seeing him descend to that sulphurous
abode We're uttered in the presence of
Congressman Richardson and Gaines
and that these gentlemen reported the
same to him. The Tennessee senator is
of the firm belief that these gentlemen
told him the truth, all of which amounts
to the calling into question by Sena-
tor Carmack of the v~eracity of the pres
ident.
The Memphis News gets excited over
the affair and has some harsh things to
say about the president, as follows:
The White house has been turned
into a fish market, and the president of
the United States initiates the foul
mOuthed b~lasphemy of q fishwife. For
the first time in the history of the re-
public the chief executive, supposed to
be the personification of the national
dignity, falls to cursing like a drab
when addressed in his official capacity
on an affair of state. Moreover, the
exhibition of billingsgate was purely
SratultOuS, ana the man at Whom It
was aimed was absent. The country
has come 10 a pretty pass when a Unit
ed States senator, acting in the line of
his duty, shall be called to task at all
by the president much less that he
shall be abused in such brutal and
blasphemOus fashion. And this is the
man that is supposed to be the eXam>
plar for the rising youth Of this Chris
tan nation. Mckinley's successor!
Hyperion to a Satyr!"
This is taking too serious a view of
the matter. Men do swear and are go
ing to continue to do so. no matter how
wrong it may be, mt the millennium
comes. Because a man has by acci-
lent been called upon to become the
chief servant of the people is no reason
why he should be deprived of this one
of mans prerogatives. Senator Car
mack has. as every one knows who
has kept up with the proceedings of the
senate. given Mr.. Roosevelt plenty of
cause 10 swear at him (to his back).
Then why should the public be so
shocked when Mr.. Roosevelt exercises
this prerogative which, being that

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. l is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that med ical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
 results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been
 observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward
 pneumonia. This has been fully prov
 en in mary thousands of cases in
 which this remedy has been used dur
 ing the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneu- monia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in brea thing and pains in the chest. then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamber lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
 cold is contracted. It always cures.
