dict of the country on the proposal of
!! the democrats to "give us change"
What they mean was, Give us a

slow nor timid in accepting the chal-

that it had elements Of popular

President Roosevelt put the whole
argument of the campaign in his let

outset:
"The principles which we profess
are those which we believe with heart
and soul and strength. Men may diff.
fer from us, but they cannot accuse
us of stiffness or insincerity. The
policies we have pursued are those

future to carry on the government in
the same lay that we have carried 1t

That was the keynote of the cam.

PARKER's IGNORANCE CONCERN
ING THE MORRILL, TARIFF.

Judge Parker, in his tariff speech of
last Saturday, after referring to the
Walker tariff of 1916 and the tariff of
1857, said:

Either through ignorance or design
the judge in this statement gives out
an absolute falsehood and an artful

tory knows or should know. that the
first great law enacted by the republi-
can party was the so-called Morrill,
tariff law. This law had passed the
house of representatives in May, 1860,
nearly year before the civil war,
months before Abraham Lincoln was
elected or even nominated 1t passed
the senate some months afterward, as
soon as enough southern senators had
resigned to give the republicans ma

Buchanan on March 2, 1861. II was a

No jury Cases.

In response to petition Judge c. G..

term of court for this county, has signed
an order doing away with the drawing of

the court of general sessions and imme-
diately adjourn it sine die. On Wednes.

and the court Of common pleas will con-
vene, but only equity cases will be heard.

"a Word to the WISE" Etc.

A piano is very mystifying instru'
ment, especially to those who know moth
ing of it's construction or the scientific
principles involved in producing per-
feet piano. This is the reason so ma.
nv of our citizers and best class of farm
ers are humbugged into buying cheap
piano and vers frequently at very ex-
orbitant price. Some firms have meth
cd of sending out flaming literature with
q lot of testimonials from people who
know absolutely nothing about piano.
This class of stuff is priced from $5OO.OO
to 100000, but can be bought for almost
nothing, for it is worthless in musical
education.
Then the retail dealer comes along and
pushes the cheapest piano he can get fol
the biggest price.
Don't get picked up by these fakes. You
want the best and can get it. Your chill
dren deserve good piano and an artistic
piano.
We note that our greatest colleges use
the Stief piano.
Elizabeth College, Charlotte, uses it
exclusively and has twenty. Converse
College, 'Spartanburg, S. c., uses it ex'
clusively and has thirty-six. Brenau
Conservatory of Music, Gainesville, Ca,
uses it exclusively and has fifty. The
Baptist Female College, Raleigh, has
placed an order for thirty-one and will
use it exclusively. Old Salem Academy,
at Salem, N. c., has adopted the Stieff.
1t is used in many colleges all over the
South and East.
When the heads of such colleges select
the Stieff piano, wouldn't it be well for
you to profit by their knowledge and ex'
perience? Besides, the Stieff piano is a
Southern product manufactured by a
Southern man and is sold direct from
factory to freside, saves middleman's
profits in your home and you secure the
finest piano made.
Also have fine line of medium grade
and secondhand pianos.
