,lsurpation of Presidents, the grasping
power of the courts, and the actions of
the Congress had gradually undermined
and had very previously and dangerously
changed the Constitution, so as to make

we are living. The pity of it is that the
American people are wholly ignorant of
the very serious, radical changes that
have been wrought, and know but little
of the threatening departures from the
government first established by the
fathers of the Republic. If North Caro-

A BIG CONTRACT.

The people of Clay are jubilant
over big coal contract made there
that means something will be done
in the mining business for three
years to come at least.
Mr. T. X. Troendle, one of the
stockholders of the Buffalo Creek
aud Tradewater Coal 81 Mining
company, at Daniel Boone, Hop
kins county, located on the |. @.
railroad, and who is sales agent for
the company, made contract with
Mr.. Clarence Blackwell, t t h Q

%. at Clay, to handle all of the
output of it's mine for three years,
says the Providence Enterprise.
The coal company at Clay has a
new plant that has only been in
operation for short time and the
output is necessarily limited at
this time, but they are running
four cars a day with the force they
have and with larger force can
rapidly increase the output. Mr..
Troendle says that he could use
one hundred cars per week now
from this mine at points on the
Illinois Central.

The improvements made in meth
DDS reduce the cost on such ores
to trifing figure, and bring a
vast amount Of our ore within the
field of prospective operations.
That process also turns out its pro
duct in compact form, he oost of
transportation of which will be tri

Under these conditions we nay
look for great activity in this dis

be much more so next year. The

country RrG t..ose operating pro-
perty here have disclosed the tact
that the ores exist in almost limit
less bodies, 1t is such property
that attracts practical miners and
we may look for active work to be
started on every claim here that
gives Indications of embracing the
great deposit. The advantage to
this section of the State from hs-
wing such operations in progress
here, are manifest 1t is from this
oity that the supplies must be
obtained, and the resulting bust
ness for our merchants will be
enormous.

The Popular Vote in 1904.

What will be the total vote cast in
this years presidential election? Will
it reflect the large increase in popula-
tion. due to naturalization, shown by
the monthly census reports and in the
courts, or will it be less in 1904 than
in the election of four years ago. as
the vote of 1900 was less than in 1896?
In 1884 the total vote was 10, O6S, OOO
In 1888 the total vote was II, 1872, 900
In 1892 the total vote was ~. $50, 900

counted for by the admission of new
states.
In 1895, in an election of more than
average Importance and after cam
paign of unusual vigor, the vote was
IA. O7O. 900.
In 1900 the total vote was 1867, 900
decrease from that of four years be-
fore.
Since 1900 no new states have been

The acceptance of the party primary

mary being larger, usually, than the
