he would harmonic the opposing ele-

retain the great Bryan element as his

men out of our party are for selfish and
personal ends and in the long run they
do not prevail"
The Cleveland element OF the Demo-
cratic party for two years has been de-
manding as condition of their future
loyalty that Mr.. Bryan and his friends
be given back seats in the party. and
utterly repudiated. Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Cleve-
land and the papers that hold their views
have persistently advocated that policy.
Judge Parker has wisely understood thai
a nomination given to him in any such
way would be worthless. Equally worth
less would be a nomination given by in
sulting Democrats who do not agree with
Mr.. Bryan. He understands that in 1904

ARE WE MEN?

I'm 1898 a riot occurred in Wilmington
and about two hundred negroes were
killed because a negro editor there wrote
an article defamatory of the good name
of the women of North Carolina, and
when it was all over he and his white
brethren We're sent out of town on the
first train. But yesterday on the streets
of Wilson was circulated poem more
defamatory of the good women of our
town than that was of the women of the
State, and we sit here idle and let those
who circulate it walk the streets. Are
we men to allow such as that or are we
puny imps that will brook any assault
on our nearest and dearest? Our preach
ers, churches and women have been
slandered What next?"

CUTICURA

Purest of EmOIIiGntS and

The Most Wonderful Curative
of All Time

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tOrtur-

pounded, in proof of which single
amounting with it, preceded by hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the seyerer cases by dose of Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humOurs, permits rest and
sleep. and points to speedy crre when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
so in the treatment Of infants and chill
dren. cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing OF intantile hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and
identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
CutiCura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in
fancy 10 age, far more eflectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet em0llients.

of this.

HOW POPULATION
GREW IN TEN YEARS
Increase Is Well Distributed,
but the South Gained
Most.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. I'll
The census bureau has published a
bulletin, a discussion of the increase
of the population in the United States
as shown by the census of 1900. The
principal results of the study of these
figures are summarized as follows:
The increase in the population Of
continental United States, that is, the
United States exclusive of Alaska and
the recent insular accessions, is 1906
S61, or 20.7 per cent. Only one coun-
try, Argentina, has shown by the most
recent figures a more rapid rate Of
growth. The present rate of growth in
Continental United States is estimated
as double the average rate of Europe.
1t is nearly double that of Canada and
exceeds Mexico's by one-siXth and
Australia's by one-tenth
The rates of increase on the two
sides of the Northern Atlantic differ
much less than they did generation
ago. Among the five main divisions
of continental United States the high
est rate of increase is found in the
Western division and the lowest in the
North Central. Among the eleven mi
nor divisions the highest rate of growth
is found in the Rocky mountain group
of states, closely followed by the
Western Central; the lowest in the
Northern South Atlantic, closely fol-
lowed by the Western North Central.

In the decade, 1890 to 1900, for the
first time in our national history, the
Southern states increased faster than
the Northern. East of the Mississippi,
however, the Northern states as a
group have grown in the last ten years
somewhat more rapidly than the South
ern; but west of that river the South
ern states have increased almost two
and one-half times as rapidly as the
Northern, and 1t is this fact which
makes the growth of the South as
whole exceed that of the North. The
region west of the Mississippi river is
still increasing faster than east of 1t,
but the difference between the rates of,
growth in the two regions, 1890 to 1900,
was little. more than one fifth of what
it was in. 1880 to 1890. The region east
of the Mississippi increased more rap
idly from 1890 to 1900 than from 1880
to 1890, while that west of the Missis-
sippi increased in the later decade not
much more than half as fast as in the
earlier. The conclusion is drawn that
the increased growth of the East and
the decreased growth of the West may
both be connected with a probable de-
cline in the current of westward mi
grafton. Extensive but sparsely areas
in the western parts of Kansas, Ne
braska and. South Dakota show a de-
cline of population in the last ten
years, a fact which it is said may be
connected Withe.the increase of popu-
lation in many agricultural counties of
Iowa, Illinois and adjoining states, 1890
to 1900, after losing population during
the preceding ten years.
The most noteworthy result of the
entire discussion, it is stated, is the
cumulative evidence sof the. rapid ap-
proach to equality in the rates Of in
crease of various parts of the United
States. This appears whether North
be compared with South, East with
West, or city with country.
