An Appeal to Democrats.

The Times Of Roanoke says that it Is
estimated at the trcasurer's office In that
city that not more than 1900 voters have
paid t7ler,apoll taxes for the year, 1904.
so that.1f .the election should be held
to-day hardly more than one-half Of the
voting population would be qualified
to vote.
ed that the situation was quite rs bad iii
that city and wo fear that these two
cities are no exceptions. 1t is n serious
question for the Democrats of tho state
to consider, for the delinquents are large
4 ~ Democratic voters The Republicans
have been using diligence to get their
voters to pay up and the Republican au-
thoriues have great influence in this
respect with their voters. and there is nj,
impression that they usually supply the
delinquents with tho wherewithal.
We again emphasize that Democrats

A Bear Story.

Once upon a time, there was a strong,
healthy. happy bear in the mountains e :
Colorado. He went about his business
and troubled no one, for the bear Is not
aggressive. lie had been leading an hon-
est life in the forest and hnd been cohl-
hitting no deprcdations upon mankind.
But a mighty hunter from the East we,it
out to look for him. This mighty hunter
had no spite against the bear, but ne
loved sport. lie loved strenuous sport,
he wanted only the biggest game of he
forest and so with n pack of dogs, he
went out to hunt for bruin. Thera dogs
were put on the trail and by and by they
cume up with the bear At first bruin
paid little attention to them, but they
snapped at him and bit him and annoyed
him until he would stand It no longer,
and finally turning at bay he began to
slap the dogs down as fast as any Of
them came within reach. 8 ,5
"a While thus defending himself from, In
suit and annoyance the mighty hunter
rode up with gun in hand. One dog had
already been killed, we arc told anu
several others severely wounded, and tho
old grizzly was playing havoc with the
other dogs that were tantalizing him. The
mighty hunter stood by and contemplated
the contest with intense interest. It was
IA fine fight, q real live, wild bear on
the one side and pack OF vicious mounds
On the other. 1t made the hunters blood
5tingle and no smiled q broad smile Eof
satisfactlon vleing with the bear and
tho hounds in showing teeth. There is
no telling how long his intense pleasure
would have lasted had It not been that
3truin showed TINT lie was able to clean
up the whole pack. and the hunter saw
that something must be done to save tile
dogs What were a pack Of dogs to
sport like this! But IL the dogs should
all be slain there would be no moro sport,
and so the hunter came q to the rescue
Of the hounds and fired Nshot after shot
into the body Of the bear unit 1.-The grizzly
was knocked out and the fight was ut
an end. III
It was a great victory for American
arms. Another trophy OF war has been
added to our museum md the hunt goes
on with promise Of more such glorious
contests and glorious victories and glorl-
Gus trophies. IA u Il. s

North Carolina Hospitality.

them. are well pleased.

Mr.. r. II. Beazley, Of the South Boston

There will be meeting OF the Exccu-
