DEMOCRATS FOR PROTECTIVE
TARIFF.

During the recent campaign the
Democratic politicians claimed that
unless Bryan and a Democratic Con-
gress were elected that the tariff
would not be revised, that the Re-
pubiicans would not revise the tariff
as they had promised to do in their
platform. Some days ago the Chair
man of the House Committee on
Ways and Means called the Commit
tee together for the purpose of hear
ing testimony from the manufact-
urers and other interests in the tariff
question. To the surprise of the
Committee the most strenuous OBJ
jections to a reduction of the tariff
came from the Democratic members,
in fact, two of the Democratic Con-
gressmen from Florida recommended
a high duty on sea island or long
staple cotton, giving as their reason
that the Southern planters could not
compete with the West Indian and
Egyptian cotton that was raised by
cheap labor. Other witnesses from
North Carolina, Georgia and other
Southern States want tariff on iron,
yarn and citrous fruits. While the
Democrats have been clamoring for
a reduction in the tariff it now ap-
pears that If the Republicans are
able to make a uniform revision of
the tariff that they will have to do it,
not with the aid of the Democrats,
but in spite of many of it's Con-
greSSmen.

The First Sabbath-Schoo1 Began in
''S0Oty Alley"

Bobby Wild Goose and his rag
ged regiment" was the name hooted
after Robert Raikes. the first mod
ern Sunday-school advocate, and his
scholars. The thoroughfare was
''Sooty Alley" and the scholars were
the ragged boys who toiled in the
pin factories OF Gloucester, England.
Robert Raikes paid Mrs. Brandon, a
Door woman, one shilling each Sun
day to teach the boys the Bible. That
was in 1880. Four years later there
were 100000 boys and girls attend
ing Sunday-school in the kingdom.
To-day the Sunday-school hour in
the city or village, the civilized
world over, resembles Lilliputian
land on dress parade. Streets lead
ing to churches are bonny with lads
and lassies, not ragged, but dressed
in their best, going happily to 'hear
the wond'rous story" Thousands
now do the work Robert Raikes
started. How 100 Sunday-schools

THE SOUND OF THE PISTOL.

The following is an extract from
recent issue OF the Wilmington
Star (Democratic) commenting on
the great increase in crimes in this
State, the cause, etc. The Star
says:
Just before the last term of Rob-
eson Superior Court at which there
were about a dozen capital cases
awaiting trial, The Robesonian spoke
of a killing wave" having passed
over that county during the twelve
months previous. 1t is said that dur
ing that time there had been an aver
age of one homicide a month in the
county. This was an appalling re-
cord for county whose citizens are
recognized the State over as being
among the best within her borders.
This fact only the more forcibly
emphasizes the fact that crime is on
the increase in our State and that
life is being held more and more
cheaply even among men who live in
communities reputed to be among the
best in the State.
I'VE find it no pleasant duty to
make repeated reference to the in
crease of crime in our State as well
as throughout the whole country,
but it is fact which the well-inform-
ed of our people cannot truthfully
deny, and it is duty, disagreeable
as it may be, which we as a member
Of the press of the State feel bound
by our obligations to the public, to
call to its attention.
Something must be done to check
crime, which has become rampant al
over the country. This thing cannot
be allowed to go on, for if it is there
is no telling what the end will be.
"How is it to be arrested? is the
question. Another is, what is the
cause and whose the fault?"
What is the cause and whose is
the fault? Those are the questions
we want to see answered. We move
that the matter be referred to Elk
Governor Ayeock for solution. II
his inaugural address in Raleigh In
January, in 1901, Mr.. Aycock sale
that under, and therefore, by i'm
plication, in consequence of Fusion
rule, law1essness walked the State
like a. pestilence, crime stalke6
abroad at MONDAY, sleep lay dowr
with alarm and the sound of the
pistol was more frequent than the
song of the hooking bird"
How stands the case today? Who
is to blame for the alarming increase
in crimes III this State since the
Fusionists were in power? Are we
reaping the harvest of red shirt rule
in this State?

WHY DEMOCRATS GO DITCH
WARD.

At the beginning of every one OF
Mr.. Bryan's campaigns the Demo-
cratic papers and party leaders have
always been able to figure out glo-
rious victory for their leader. but
when election day would roll around
IL would be found that the voters had
figured out an ingIorious defeat for
him. This condition OF affairs has
been hard for many of his followers
TO understand. but the Charlotte OBJ
server attempts an explanation as
follows:
Until the middle and later laps
of the race are reached he can
run with any man. II Is the pros
pect OF his actually winning which
always frightens the people into
sending him ditchward at the finish. 7"
Some other candidate on the DEM
ocratic ticket might have made a
better run that Mr. Bryan. but isn't
1t fact. that the people just haven't
confidence in the Democratic policies
and In the persons who write the
platforms?
The conservative Democrats claim
ed that Mr.. Bryan was too radical,
and therefore could not poll the full
Democratic strength. Four years ago
the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent-Parker-was known as a con-
servative Democrat, but he met with
an overwhelming defeat.
The trouble with the party is the
fact that 1t has no fixed policy or
principles, and the voters have no
confidence in their party manipula-
tors. 1t is too plain to the people
that they are simply after the loayes
and fishes and have been advocating
any and everything with the hope of
striking a popular chord with some
thing. II the Democratic party ever
hopes to win 1t will have to divorce
itself from the Tammany leaders,
Wall Street gamblers, Standard Oil
and lawn festivals, and select leaders
in whom the people have confidence
and write platform that stands for
something.

sides these classes there are several

rollments. intermediate and Junior
classes are never allowed to grow

The membership of the church is
close to 2100. In the past three years
1900 people have been added to the
church, and of this number about 1000
have come from the Sunday school,
In fact the Sunday school forms a
sort of training department to fit the
men and women for membership in
the church. Many members of the
adult classes eventually join the
church. Rev. Welshimer attributes
the success of the church and Sunday
school to 'the laying of special en-
phasis upon sociability, punctuality,
thoroughness Of teaching, evangelical
work and the ceaseless zest Of the
Sunday school workers."

Professor Lazenby had on exhibition
an array of bottles that would have
done credit to any drug store. Taking
thousand parts of apple, orange and
banana with which TO demonstrate, he
proceed that the orange contained the
most water; that the sugar in apples
and oranges was about the same
amount; that there is more acid in
oranges than in the other two fruits,
and that bananas contain more bone
substance secured by burning the
fruits to ashes, more portein, actual
and more sugar than the
other fruits. and less acids.

TO ASSESS MEMBERS
ONE CENT EACH WEEK

Hamilton, Dec. 13.--The first Bap-
tist church of this city has taken a
new tack in the Management of its
church finances. Several years ago
this church abandoned all paid en-
tertainments and socials for the sup
port of the church, depending entirely
upon voluntary contributions. Now
it has adopted a rule whereby no
member will be considered in good
standing who does not contribute at
least one cent a week TO the support
of the church. The church numbers
almost a Thousand members, but it
was found that fully half contributed
absolutely nothing to the support of
the church. 1t has also been ordered
thta no letter of withdrawal be granted
to anyone in arrears unless the fact
is stated in the letter.
Should there be any member unable
to contribute at least one cent a week,
payment Of one cent a week for spch
person will be made out of the poor
fund of the church. DR.. S. Baynham
Hiley is the pastor OF the church.
