A COCK AND BULL STORY

Perhaps the meanest and most con-
temptible incident of the campaign
thus far is the circulation through Re-
publican papers as part of an alleged
special service of a story intended
to curry favor for President Roosevelt
by representing him as an implacable
enemy of the Standard Oil company
and the United States Steel corpora
ton. 1t is a fabric of unadulterated
lies from beginning to end. 1t relates
with great show of truth how an agent
of the Rockefellers recently visited
President Roosevelt to get some as
Surance that the Sherman antitrust
act would not be applied to the great
corporation in which those millionaire
monopolists and friends of the presi-
dent are interested. The sixth-rate re-
porter who evidently prepared this
document relates in depIorable repor-
fabricated interview, ending thus
War or no war; said the president
81 will be no weakling. The law shall
be no byword with me-" The discus
sion ended.
From a humorous point of view this
is rather good. AS an attempt to de-
lude the voter by upright and down
right lying on grand scale it is be-
meath contempt. The facts are that
the Rockefellers and the interests most
closely connected with the most abom-
Unable monopolies in the United States
today are behind President Roosevelt
The fact as stated in repeated and un-
contradicted reports, is that he was
Pierpont Morgan and a treaty of peace
agreed upon between them. The fac
is that after this understanding was
reached, and not until then, the New
York Sun, special representative o.
trust interests among the newspapers
in this country, came out flat-footei
for Mr.. Roosevelt, whom it had, up t.
that time treated alternately with de.
nunciation and derision.
The truth is that President Roose.
welt carefully planned his campaign il
order to make just such bargains. H,
directed the pushing OF one suit under
the Sherman act where he thought i
could work him no political injury
He then, by himself and through tn,
department of justice, served motto,
and gave warning to the real trust
who had not been molested. On TIN
one hand they We're told that the,
could and would be prosecuted an,
broken up. On the other hand was ;

into camp and help. elect the Roosevelt
ticket. That is the whole story and tn
facts sustain it. Under the Sherman
act the Standard Oil company, tn
United States Steel corporation. tn
coal combination, the beef trust, tn
white paper trust and every one of
dozen more of actual monopolies ex
listing in this country today, in de
fiance of common law, of state law an
Of federal statute, could have bee
dissolved before this time had Their
been the slightest sincerity in the at
titude of the administration. or th
slightest intent to enforce the laws.
1t passes the bounds of ordinary de
'cency when man and party that hav
adopted this method put on the air
of virtue. 1t is bad enough that Presi
dent Roosevelt should have, with tn
assistance of Attorney General Kno,
elaborated a principle which, in

The Returning Voter

The Republicans who would not vote
FOR Mckinley cannot consistently vote
Tor roosevelt, While Democrats who
would not vote for Bryan will readily
vote Tor Parker; and besides the Dem
oerats VINO refused to vote four years
ago there are those who voted for Nc
X smiley. Nearly ali these are back in
the Democratic party. But are the
anti-1mperialist Republicans back in
their party supporting Roosevelt? Ask
George S. Boutwell, and the throng in
faneuli hall on an oppressive August
night that protested against the atti-
tuae OF the Republicans toward the
philippines. This is the significance of
the failure of the popular vote to in
crease lnrl900 over 1896. and this is one
OF the strongest auguries of Demo-
cratic success this year. The men who
refused TO vote four years ago are go
ing TO vote this year. = Philadelphia

encumbrance; nevertheless it was suf-
ficiently strong to turn a dagger or
sword thrust. It Is said that similar
garments Of mail were donned by
quite q large proportion Of our most
prominent politicians at the time Of
the troubles in Ireland. However,
probably nobody, even in the blacklist
days, went to the same extreme as
Macready to accustom himself to his
strange habiliments. 1t Is said that
the actor went to bed during the in
tervals Of the rehearsals of Henry v.
clad in the armor he was to wear in
that play.
1t is quite within the bounds Of pos
sibility that an ordinary cash-tailor.
II requested to measure a client for
a suit Of mail Of the latest cut, would
express at least a modicum Of sur
prise. However, Glasgow firm,
Messrs. Edward & Son. goldsmiths and
silversmiths, completed such an order
within the last six years for one OF
the minor Indian princes, the Matra
Rama of Oodeypore. This order
which would have rejoiced the heart
of Mr.. Paul Hardy, the eminent black
and white artist, who is, we believe,
the only amateur armorer living-was
for a suit Of armor consisting Of he'll
met, cuirass. buckler and gauntlets
made of virgin silver, with the edges
finished and decorated with % carat
gold-a species Of attire hardly con-
ducive to comfort in tropical clim-
ate. When decked out in all these, the
Matra Rama would look quite as impos-
ing as the Arch Druid of Wales, whose
luxurious costume, as presented by
Prof. Herkomer some six or seven
years ago, comprised flowing robe OF
pure white Grape, a wreath Of oak
leaves worked in copper by the profes-
sor himself, and a carved breast plate
of gold that cost 970.-Chambers's

years old, was carried about seventy
five yards beyond the spot and was
badly mangled. The body Of the mule
also was mangled and the buggy COM
pletely demolished. The older woman
was still breathing and moaning when
DR.. D. A. Garrison, Of Bessemer City
arrived a few minutes after the acci-
dent, but nothing could be done for her.
She died in a short time. Sectionmas-
ter T. B. Terrell and his crew were
eyewitnesses of the tragic accident, be-
ing engaged at work on the track near
the scene. At this crossing the track
lies in a cut and the wagon road makes
a curve. The crew saw the women ap-
preaching in the buggy and vainly
endeavored to warn them. The older
woman had her head tied up In a
shawl or cloth and could not hear.
Evidently neither Of them was expect
ing a train and 1t Is also probable that
the engineer failed to blow the signal
for the crossing. When the train
struck the buggy, the mule was just
across the track. The two women stood
up in the vehicle and were dashed to
death by the engine. They had been to
Gastonia and were returning to their
home on Mr.. Eph Hollands farm
They had moved to Mr.. Hollands only
last Saturday and were not very well
known in the community. The buggy
and mule belonged to Mr.. Holland
Coroner w. Meek Adams went to the
scene of the accident as soon as he
was notified but found an inquest un-
necessary.

ORIGIN OF COLDS.
Responsibility Attributed to Abuse OF
the Stomach.

Responsibility Attributed to Abuse OF
the Stomach.
The invariable cause Of colds comes
from within, not without. No one
takes cold when in a vigorous state of
health, with pure blood coursing
through the body, and there Is no good
reason why one in ordinary health
should have cold. 1t may come
from insufficient exercise, br athing OF
foul air, want of wholesome food, ex-
cess of food, lack Of bathing, etc., but
always from some violation Of the
plain laws Of health.
There can be no more prolific cause
of colds than highly seasoned foods. as
we'll as frequent eating. These give
no time for the digestive organs to
rest, and incite an increased flow OF
the digestive secretions. Thus larger
quantities Of nourishment are absorbed
than can be properly utilized, and the
result is an obstruction, commonly
called q "cold," which Is simply an
effort of the system to expel the use
less material. Properly speaking, 1t Is
self poisoning, due to an incapability
of the organism to regulate and COM
pensate for the disturbance.
A deficient supply Of pure air to the
lungs is not only a strong predisposing
cause Of colds, but a prolific source OF
much graver conditions. Pure air and
exercise are necessary to prepare the
system for the assimilation Of nutri-
ment, for without them there can be no
vigorous health. The oxygen Of the
air we breathe regulates the appetite
as we'll as the nutriment that Is built
up in the system.
The safest and best way to avoid
colds Is to sleep in a room with the
windows wide open, and to remain out
of doors every day, no matter what
may be the weather, for at least two
hours, preferably with some kind of
exercise, IL not more than walking
One should not sit down to rest while
the feet are wet or the clothing damp
A person may go with the clothing wet
through to the skin all day, If he but
keeps moving. Exercise keeps up the
circulation and prevents taking cold.
The physiologic care Of colds is the
prevention Of their occurrence. The
person who does not carry around an
oversupply Of alimentation in his sys-
tenn, and furthermore secures purified
circulation by strict, sanitary cleanli-
ness, thus placing himself in posi-
tive condition, is immune to colds. A
starving man cannot take cold.
A careful diet would exclude the use
Of all narcotics and all food that is not
thoroughly appropriated. Any overfed
person is worse off than one who is
underfed, because the overfed body is
taxed to dispose of what cannot be ap-
propriated, and when not properly dis
posed of, remains only to be an ele-
ment Of danger-Science Of Health.
