BECkHAh'S DEFEAT.

To close observers Of political condi-
tions, the defeat Of Ex-Governor Beck
ham, of Kentucky, for the United States
Senate, and the election of former Gov.
Bradley, Republican,, was not SO much
of a surprise after all. The Legislature
of Kentucky has been in a senatorial
deadlock about six weeks. During that
time twenty-nine ballots were taken.
Neither the Bradley nor the Beckham
forces appeared to give any signs of
budging. Machine policies in a bitter
controversy over the State election law
created much dissatisfaction among
the independent voters, and b are
known as the Independent Democrats.
In the roundup foul of the anti-Beck-
ham Democrats shifted, and this enabled
the Republican candidate, Gov. Brad
ley, to secure barely enough votes to
win.
Beckham was a machine politician
and he was unpopular with a number
of the influential men of his own party.
The Louisville Courier-Journal, an
Independent Democratic newspaper,
which yields a powerful influence in
Kentucky, fought vigorously for Beck
hams defeat. and that papers position
was endorsed by a number of the old
time Democrats who insist upon a high
standard of integrity in politics as we'll
as anything else.
What the effect of Governor Brad
Iey's election to the Senate will be is
more or less p~roblematical at this time.
It would not be surprising, however, to
observers of Kentucky politics to see
that State go Republican in the Presi-
Dental election in November, The
Democratic party in Kentucky is badly
split up about as much so as the Re-
publican party in Ohio q little while
back. There is much bitter personal
feeling and political animosity among
quite a number of the leading and most
Influential Democrats, and unless they
bury the Ratchet before November it
Is probable the State will show up in
the Republican column.
The defeat Of Beckham as Senator is
regarded by some of the leading Demo-
CIhLS VI GuS SIdl0 III Ill influence In re-
tarding party harmony, land it will take
some effective political work, consider
able self-sacrifce and no little plan
ming among he Democrats to over
come the effects of this rigid senatorial
deadlock and line up the members OF
the party in the Presidential election.
Beckham has a widespread influence
in Kentucky; he has many staunch
friends, but,unfortunately for the party,
has many strong opponents.
Democracy in Kentucky needs the
influence of a powerful conciliatory
move to get it in effective shape for the
coming campaign. This will not be an
easy task in view of the activity of the
Republicans buoyed up by their recent
successes, and the fight in hat State
from now on will be an interesting fea-
ture of national politics.

It is very important and in fact it is
absolutely necessary to health that we
give relief to the stomach promptly at
b first signs of trouble-which are
belching OF gas, nausea sour stomache,
headache, irritability and nervousness.
These are warnings that the stomach
has been m~istreated; it is doing too
much work and it is demanding help
from you. Take something once in a
while; especially after meals; some
thing like KODOL for Dyspepsia and
INDIGESTION. 1t will enable your stom-
ach to do it's work properly. Sold by
M. e. Robinson 81 Bro.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE
What is Causing the Increase of Catarrh
in GoIdsboro.

Catarrh troubles are increasing,
not only in Goldsboro but all over
the country.
Catarrh is a germ disease and, to
cure it, germ life in the nose, throat
and lungs must be destroyed, and
this can be done only by breathing
Hyomei.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no
tablet or liquid mixtures whereby
the digestion is often destroyed and
intestinal troubles added to the hor-
rors of catarrh.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
its healing balsams penetrate the
most remote air cells, destroying the
catarrhal germs so that quick re-
covery follows. The complete outfit
costs but 100, and J. H. Hill & Son
agrees to refund the money should
Hyomei fail to do all that is claimed
for it.

WAR TALK.
China and Japan Again Getting Involved

Especial to HE ARGUs.}
Toxic, March 6.-That the dispute
between China and Japan over the re-
cent steamship seizure by China has
assumed critical stage is indicated by
the announcement today that the Vice
roy OF Canton has resigned.
China is determined not to acceds to
the Japanese demands and Japan will
probably attempt to make her do SO.
The Japanese Government is urged
by newspapers not to accept any COM
promise whatever. Encroachments by
Japan on Chinese rights, have, on the
other hand. stirred the Chinese Gov.
eminent to deep anger and resentment
and therefore there is plenty of war
talk

THE DREAMER.

The dreamer dreamed and the busy
world
Passed by with hooking smile,
AS it went in search of the worlds re-
wards,
But the dreamer dreamed the while.
He saw the world as the world should
be,
When longer years had run,
And the world but paused in it's work
to ask:
"Pray, what has the dreamer done?"
Yet ever the dreamer dreamed his
dream,
Until, in some WOndrous way
AS the water springing in deeps of
EARTH,
Finds passage to upper day
The dreamer's dream found the man oil
! IT'S strange how mems lives are knit =
| Who knew not the dreamer, but tool
his dream
And transformed the world with it.
The world bows down to the man O
| power
! Forgotten the dreamer dies.
Yet the dream he dreamed is the secre
force
That has forged mems destinies.
! THE BELLMAN.
The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1908-06-18

the greatest, the bravest heI
knows. Isit not better to achieve
these things, even at the cost OF
life itself, than to purchase length
of days by mean aid sordid living,
by coWardice or craft, by surren-
der of the fine ideals Of manhood
in base compliance to dishonor?
In the heart Of every man the
Everlasting has made answer.
Looking beyond the little span OF
human life into the white light
of eternity, what better could
we have wished for che Confed-
crate soldier than to have played
his part as he did? He has left
heroic memories that chasten
and purify the hearts Of all who
come after him. E!e has lifted
life above the low level Of the
commonplace into the realm of
precious and immutable things,
into the great spiritual realities
which abide above all change,
beyond the reach of years.
General Lee adverts to the
type of Southern statesmen be-
fore the Civil War:
Wonderful men those old South
erners were; great in counsel,
great in battle, but greater than
all in the integrity which felt
dishonor like a wound. They
= would have fallen upon the sor.
did plunderers who in later times
have infested public life, like
: Elijah upon the prophets o:
Baal.
The present time, it is held, il
a period of transition. The pres
ent lowering of standards will
not last. I cherish the hop,
that our Southern blood will pro
duce the type again-that witt
renewed prosperity we will agail
introduce into public life a elias
of men able and willing to devot
= themselves with pure and IN
wavering fidelity to the publ
service, and free from the all
+ absorbing struggle for bread
p which has been the portion 0
r. Southern men for so manyyears.
n The impulse to this renais
# sance of Southern statesmanshi
4 will be found in the ideals fo
ia which the Confederates tough
v and which the present generatio
+ still respects.
= The strenuous hustle" #

material prosperity in which the
South has been engaged since
1880 has been immensely sue
cessful. Wealth has been enor-
mously developed, industries
have been diversified, schools and
colleges have increased greatly
and the economic position Of the
South has been consolidated.
Yet its people have not discarded
their ideals, their conception of
what is worth while in life, or
their preference for character
above mere riches. They still
hold their old heroes in honor.

the rest are now, more perhaps

RICHEST NATIONAL ASSETS

Courage and Devotion to Prin-

Nations Richest Assets.
Baltimore Sun.
The address prepared by the
late Gen. Stephen D. Lee, Com
mander-in-Chief, for the reunion
of Confederate veterans at Biz
mingham, and distributed among
his former comrades on Tuesday
last, is an admirable statement
of the lofty character of the i'm
pulse that caused the Confederate
soldier to fight as he did. He be-
lieved he was right in the con-
stitutional argument, but it is not
the whole truth to say that he
went to war to vindicate an argu-
ment. His action was an eX-
preston of his individuality
his noble patriotism, his love of
his State, his sense of his duty
to repel aggression.
The issue upon which he
fought-strict adherence to the
terms of the constitutional com
pact-was not of his own choos
ing; it was thrust upon him. His
inability to matain it does no
lessen the correctness of hi
political prescience, nor the glor!
of his valiant effort. He achiev
ed what many will cOnside
greater than success in his i'm
mediate purpose.
AS General Lee eloquently ex
pressed it:
He enriched the world in hon
or. He added to the spirit
ual riches of mankind. Tn
memory of his deeds is the treas
ure of his people, incorruptible
undefled and that fadeth nc
away. No noble action is eve
lost; no brave deed shall eve
pass away. They are write
upon the everlasting pages G
the universe; they are inscribe
upon the heart of God. Thi
is the best that life offers an
man: to strive for the highes
