Southern Democrats Given FRESH
Courage.

Washington Post.
The next Governor of North Caro-
lima. Hon. r. b. Glenn, was seen al
the National yesterday. lie mas peell
spending "a couple of weeks IN Atlal'
tic Citv recuperating from the ardu-
Gus campaign that eliminated III I lif
triumph at the recent Democratic
state convention. The coming chlet
executive of the Old North State looks
as though he were good and ut ma
teriaI for almost any high pubic OIL
fee. He is reputed to be an orator Oh
surprising eloquence and is one Oh the
men of whom the country is apt To
hear a good deal more.
In a short talk with Post reporter
Capt. Glenn said: The nomlnatloIi Oh
Judge Parker has given southern
Democrats fresh courage. Best of all
if has put an end to the factional dill
ferences within the party, and from
row on gold Democrats, silver Demo
Gratis. and Democrats of all sorts ana
conditions will put their shoulders to
the wheel and work for the election
OF the ticket named at st. Louis.
"Since coming East l have met anc
talked with many prominent business
men, and have been surprised to learn
that among them there is q pronounc-
ed sentiment in favor of the Demo
cratic candidate. Many of these are
going to break theNrecord of lifetime
by giving their support to the OPPOSE
ton. One such man was a Phliadel-
Ihia banker, heretofore most zeal
Gus Republican. He assured me that
by reason of his association with
prominent men in the same class with
himself he had come to know THEN
views and that a large per cent. OF
them would help elect Judge Parker
He has not the least doubt of Parker
election"

Close Up In Front.

Bayboro Sentinel.
Yes, STREE. We did it and we
amt going to be pushed off the
map by anybody. We were the
whole push. We arranged some
eight years or SO ago for Judge
Parker to arrive, we fixed for
his telegram, we gathered the dis
persed around us, we knew 1T all
both inside and outside of North
Carolina. We helped the leaders
to lead and we kept the world
moking. We are 1T, and for fear
you forget it we tell you So We
are up on the band wagon with
the driver-Rhamkatte Rooster.
Now look here. JosephuS, we arr
not going to be "ScrOughed" out o
that wagon by the Ram Kat Rooste
or any other Rooster. We knew W.
are little but we are loud. We were
scroughed out of a Democratic STATE
Convention twelve years ago, and thu
fellows that scroughed in by us
pushed us right into that wagon, ant
we took our seat and began singing
Wait for the wagon and We III al
take a ride. The first verse of tina
old familiar tune we Wordcd in thi!
wise:
Brooks Parker is our president:
With Davis by his side;
Just wait for the wagon
And we'll take ride.
Chorus:
Just wait for the wagon;
The Democratic wagon;
The Old Jackson wagon;
And to the White House
We will ride.
Now just read the Sentinel this week
and you will see us setting IN Una,
old Democratic wagon, just penhlu
the right hand off mule and right
close I'D.

Never to Re Doubted.
Mount Olive Tribune.

When the smoke of the ST. Louis
convention had blown away William
Jennings Bryan emerged bigger
man in many respects than he ever
was before. A man with whom he
does not agree in financial matters
was chosen as standard bearer, ana
the platform adopted was not as he
would have it in several respects.
In spite of this and numerous predic-
lions to the contrary he announces
his allegiance to the party and Will
support the ticket.

Harvie Jordan. of Atlanta, presi-
dent of the Southern Cotton Growers
Association, is urging the growers of
cotton to put their cotton in ware
houses and to draw upon it if needed
also not to market more than a tenth
of their crop at once He gives as his
reason that by this means the prices
can be kept around II cents, while
If there is no concerted system, the
spectators, aided by mill men, will
keep the prices down around cents,
until the bulk of the crop is marketed.
The growers in North Carolina are
called to meet in convention in Raj
eigh on the second of August and
it is probable that this matter will
be vigorously discussed.

NATIONAL CHAIRMAN TAGGART

With Mr.. Thomas Taggart, of In
dianapolis, as National Chairman of
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee the notice is served that Indiana
must be Democratic.
: Mr.. Taggart is a worker, and Wig
orous one. In the party counsels in
Indiana. he has a high stand, and it il
announced that the Democracy of that
State intended to nominate him for
Governor at the State Convention, to
be held in a few weeks. That shows
that he is a fighter and a tactician.
With Judge Parker to swing New
York in line, Senator Davis with West
Virginia and Maryland, and Chairman
Taggart with Indiana, there will be
enough doing to swing other doubtful
States over into the safely Democratic
columns.
Mr.. Taggarts election will
strengthen the party i'll the West, and
the Democrats of that section, being
recognized by the bestowM Of so inn
portant an office on a western man
will bestir themselves in the work OF
vote getting in the West. There Is
work cut out for the new chairman
ana he, seems to be made OF the
stuff to do it in handsome shape.

Nobody who knows the President
supposes that ne has gone away from
Washington to luxuriate in doing
nothing. He is toe strenuous for that.
He doubtless works harder at Oys-
ter Bay than here and as for eXer-
else. he takes that regularly where
ever he chances to be. He would
much prefer to kill a bear or Fill
pino every morning before breakfast,
but as neither game can be found here
or at Oyster Bay he has to take it out
in surf bathing and horseback riding.
