There are people amongst us
who do not seem to know what
hypocrisy and demagoguery are.
We think they are very important
matters and that all should tho
roughly understand them, and
hence, be able to avoid such as
may practice them, as all honest,
sincere men will, when acquaint-
ance reveals those who are given
to the use of such methods. It is
especially important that the
youth of a community should
not be taught to look upon a n.y.
pocrite and a demagogue as a man
of superior virtue and unusual
honor and high character. Such
conditions + hurtful and in the
long run will do much more harm
than good. It will have a tenden-
cy to lower the morals of the COM
mnnity. AS such boys become
older they will either adopt the
detestable traits as meritorious or
else their consciences will be great
ly shocked when they learn the
truth, and once deceived they
will forever view with suspicion
those whose eg%otistical effrontery
and diabolical cussedness leads
them to profane an alter, sacred
or otherwise, with an effort to APP
pear different from that which
they really are. But there are SO
many deaf, blind willing slaves to
rotten society, political bosses and
sordid gold, the hope for a better,
nobler era seems useless,

OF THE RANK AND
FILE.

The London Times thinks that
Mr., Bryan has injured his chances
for the nomination for president
on the government ownership of
railroads question unless be can
control the Democratic machine,
and in that case "Mr. Roosevelt's
name alone can be evoked on the
republican side to secure anoth-
er republican victory"
The Times is mistaken in its
idea of the power of the demo-
cratic machine to carry an cleo
ton. That machine is more pow
erful in securing nominations
than in carrying elections. The
machine often rides roughshod

The gift Of w. f. Snider Of the
old Snider home place, corner of
Main and Kerr streets, to the city
of Salisbury, to be used as a city
hospital, was an act of unusual
generosity in North Carolina. It
is a gift that will grow in public
value and greater appreciation as
the years come and go, it will not
only be of great benefit to many
within a few years, but it will be
a blessing to generations unborn
and an inspiration to all who can
to make such offerings for it's
maintenance as their means will
permit. Mr.. Snider deserves the
highest praise and credit for his

It may be good politics, but to
our mind the most contemplate
and most unreliable and unsafe
citizen is the fellow who employs
all manner of mean to defeat, be-
fore a primary, some fellow
known to be unworthy, denoul.ces
the boss and his methods, and af-
ter the primaries, takes the stump
to help elect said unworthy and
bends every effort to bring about
q successful elimination of the
boss nefarious schemes. He is
not as good as the man he op
posed, be is entitled to less re-
spect in every way. He would
sell his brothers birthright for a
mess of porridge.

The present degenerate spawn
cannot longer deceive an il.telli-
gent people by labelling itself De-
mocacy. There is not one single
feature of the once proud Democ-
racy exhibited in the present
Rowan machine. The few good
men to be found on the ticket
would have long since been thrown
overheard if the members Of the
machine had had the nerve to
have done it.

A MAGNIFICENT DONATION.
Gift Of Public Spirited Citizen Makes the
Hospital Certain.

A meeting WAS held at the
opera house last Thursday night
to discuss ways and means to es-
tablish a public hospital here.
The following letter, address,
ed to the Mayor, was read, and
this of itself is sufficient to re-
move the hospital pla from
the realm of doubt:
My Dear Sir:-I take this &C.
casion to inform you that l here
by agree to donate to the city of
Salisbury my house and lot on
the east corner of the intersec-
tion of Nam and Kerr streets,
and being known as the "Snider
Home Place" This property is
given by me to the city of Sails
bury with the only condition that
it is to be used exclusively as a
City Hospital, and should it ever
be converted into any other use,
or discontinued as a City Hospi-
tai, that the same shall revert to
me or my heirs.
With best wishes for the suc-
cess of the enterprise, lam,
Yours Faithfully,
w. +. SNYDER.
This is probably the largest
gift ever made to this communt-
ty by a citizen of Salisbury, or by
any one else, for that matter, and
the residents of this city, aud
those who will profit by reason Of
Mr.. Snider's munificence, will
never cease to remember it most
gratefully. A man who makes
such a princely gift for the cause
Of suffering humanity does not
want praise for his deed, he does
not expect it, but it is hardly con-
sistent to speak of the gift without
some brief ailusion to the large
hearted giver.
After reading the letter, which
made a most profound impression
upon the audience, Rev. +. J
Murdoch offered prayer. The
mayor spoke of the need of a hos
pital and told Of his observations
of institutions of a similar nature
in other cities. Brief talks were
made by Rev. F. J. Murdoch Rrv
Leo, Senator Overman, Drs. H T.
Trantham, W. L. Crump, John
Whitehead, J. B. Council, J. M.
Flippin, I. H. Foust, Capt. Rich
ard Henderson, Jas. Moyle, H. G.
Trott and others.
The mayor has written to all
architect to come here and make
plans for needed additions and al
terations in the building. Later
a board of managers, etc., will be
chosen, a canvass of the city will
also be made for donations.
Citizens of every class are en-

If, under the circumstances, no
other candidates for the office Of
Sheriff Of Rowan appear, the good
people of Rowan owe it to them
selves and to the county to vote
for the man who Is most capable
and most worthy to fill the office.
This is nothing short of a duty to
the country and public welfare
and it is both good Democracy
and good Republicanism. J. O.
Houston is by many odds the
more suitable one forthe position.

CARNEGIE SPELLING
 IN SUPREME COURT
CHIEF JUSTICE FINDS THRU" IN COPY OF JUSTICE BRADLEYS oPINIoN-THE COURT HAS NOT ADOPTED IT.

Washington, October 9O.-The question spelling, in accordance with the order of the President, was incidentally raised today in the supreme court of the United States.
 The case under consideration was that of Dalcour against the United States and Solicitor General Hoyt was engaged in presenting the governments side. In the course of his argument he had occasion to refer to a long quotation in his brief from a decision of the court rendered some years ago by Justice Bradley. in which the word Through was spelled Thru" Chief Justice Fuller held a copy of the brief in his hand and when the word was reached, interrupted MT Hoyt with a question as to whether the extract was intended to be a quotation from Justice Bradley's official opinion. '1n all except the spelling" replied Mir Hoyt. "Ah," significantly responded the chief justice with an interrogative in- fiexion that caused a general smile through the court room.
 The solicitor general explained that the department of justice, like all other de- partments of government, had attempted to follow the new order of spelling and he added that while he considers it proper to pursue this course in the original text of the departments briefs, he did not feel that the department was justified in changing the orthography of judicial opin- ions. He said that in the future such changes would be guarded against. The court has not adopted the simplified spell ing system.

TO MAKE PROMOTIONS.
Postoffice Clerks In Twenty Cities to
 Receive Benefits.

Washington October 30.-Returns show ing the unexpected balances in the all lowances of salaries of clerks in city postoffiees were received by First As sistant Postmaster General Hitchcock to- day, and in view of the amounts re- ported. he is about to authorize 279 pro- motions and ninety-six additional clerk ships, dating from November l.
 The increases in salary will go to clerks in the $6O0 and $7OO grades, each promo ton carrying an advance of s100. The new clerks will start with compensa- ton at the rate of $600 per annum.
 The additional allowances are to be distributed among twenty cities the al- lotment being based on the volume of postal business transacted, the amount of overtime required of the clerks and the number of appointments and promotions already allowed during the current year. The allotment varies from 100 promo tions and twenty-five additional clerks for New York to New Orleans and Nash vile with three promotions each.

MAKE TARIFF TO
 PLEASE GERMANY
North and Gerry Will Investigate and Congressional Action May Be Nee
 essary to Adjust Matters.

Washington, October 3O.--Messrs. North and Gerry are the members of the board of experts selected to confer with Ger man tariff experts in the effort to ad- just the differences between the two countries in the matter of tariff adminis- tration in this country, who will sail from New York for Germany November G.. They expect to arrive in Germany Mo- vember 16. where they will be joined by the representative of the department of commerce and labor MT. stone, who is now in that country. It was the in tention to detail Dr. Stiles of the marine hospital service as one of tNese experts, but the Idea was abandoned when it was decided that it would not be necessary to deal with agricultural matters.
 It was said at the state department to- day that no special formal instructions will be given to these experts, because they are already thoroughly familiar with the American tariff In it's admins trative features and it will only be necessary for them to read the corre- spondence that has already taken place between the American and German gov ernments relative to these complaints against the workings of our tariff laws in order to be fully prepared for their conferences with the German experts. It is hoped that a good deal can be &C., complished towards meeting the Ger man desire by further modification of the instructions given by the secretary of the treasury to the collectors of customs in the case of the admission of German goods, but to completely meet the needs of the case 1t will probably be necessary to seek authority from congress for i'm portant amendments of the administra- tive features of the existing tariff act.

Cothran's Market Letter.

Compared with yesterdays low level of 10000 for December the market scored a reaction of about Sl per bale today Liverpool was much better Nan expect ed, private cables reporting Egypt. the continent and America buying probably to realize on short contracts and killing frosts was again reported fin Oklahoma, with the possibility of 1t making it's ap- pearanee in north Texas tonight. Fair and cooler weather. with frost being predicted for the northwestern portion of the belt. Aside of covering by shorts. market lacked support, it being sold on all bulges. On the strength of the heavy movement to the market A new record was established today on port receipts. Che days arrivals amounting to 115454, against S629S last year and 745l7 year before last and the previous record of 1lS,6I9 on November r, of 1903 which, al- though a small crop year, held the ban ner day on port receipts.
 Thus far this week arrivals at all ports total 265S40 against 1S66S3 last year, and 245,543 in 1904. which assures another 600, GOO bales or more for this week in sight, and a record movement for the month of October. It is probable shorts become a little concerned about weather con. ditions that is of the frost reports, which were confirmed by the weekly weather bulletin today, the last of the season, otherwise the weight of arrivals, 5000 bales at Liverpool today and a heavy run at American ports would probably have had more effect upon values.
 With the close of October, however, the average date of frost will have been passed and as Texas has had practically none as yet, large crop, if not a bump CT one. is assured for that state.
 Spots, in keeping with the steadiness of futures, showed some stability today, being unofficially reported steady and un- changed. There was not much doing in the early hours. which was something of disappointment to bulls.
 In cotton to arrive, however, more in- oury was reported on an improved basis on account of the cheapness of futures compared with spot cotton.

Warsaw, October 3O-A band of ter rorists shot and killed policeman here this afternoon, but with this exception the day passed quietly. The streets were patrolled by cavalry, and attachments of artillery were posted at strategic points as a preeaution against all eventu- alities.
