C. C. MOORE HERE.

Mr.. Chas. Cotton" Moore,
Mecklenburg county's candidate
for Commissioner of Agriculture,
was in Hendersonville on Monday
circulating among friends and
acquaintance. Claude Brown
and "Bob" Oats, two old Char
lotte enthusiasts, chad him in
toe'' and this is sufficient guaran-
tee that he ''got around" at a
pretty lively gate during his brief
soiourn in our fair city.
Mr.. Moore feels much enceur-
aged over the prospects for his
nomination and expressed gratlf-
cation for the encouragement he
has received on a recent tour of
the western counties. He is q
most excellent gentleman and
would make an exemplary official.
And the same may truly be said
of his four opponents, Maj, Ora.

During the municipal campaign
last spring the republican candi-
dates and some of the orators
who advocated their election,
promised the people cement side
walks in the event of their cleo
ton. These same folks are now
criticising the democratic mayor
and board Of commissioners fol
doing the identical thing they
pledged themselves to do should
an opportunity be given them by
the people of the town. However,
be it said to their credit, there are
. number of republican voters
who are standing with the admin
istration in its effort to carry out
progressive measures for the ben
eft of Hen6ersonville and her en-
terprising citizenship.

who are still holding to the faith of their

Bro. Justice joined the Methodist
church at Is, living in the same for "
years. There was a charge
against him in all those years, not a
stain on his character. he was q licen-
sed exhorter in the church for many
years, often filling appointments for the
preacher in charge of the ci-cuit. His
home was the preachers home.
He stood by his pastor, aided him with
| his money and said whoever the confer
ence sent to the He~ndersonville circuit
he was his preacher and he/would stand
by him.
In the days of old camp meetings he
had a tent at the Blue Ridge campground
and was always there feeding the peo-
| pie, singing, praying and shouting and
telling to the world 1 IND on the Lords
side. He believed in the old time reli-
gion and lived it every day.
The writer of this sketch asked him
during his sickness how he felt in re-
gard to the change from this world to
the next. He said, "Oh, l don't ask that
any difference, L have been fixing for
that for 75lyears." He was a faithful SOL
der in the late civil war, and more
faithful in the army of his Lord. Few
men have left so pure a record or lived
such a noble life.
He leaves a wife, five SONS and three
daughters and q host of grand and great
grand children to mourn their loss, but
their loss is his great gain. May his
mantel fall on them, and may the be-
reaved family all be marshaled to the
heaven of eternal rest, by and by. Peace
to his ashes.
Servant OF God we'll done,
Rest from thy loved employ,
The battle fought the victory won,
Enter thy Masters Joy.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE,

4N0VAOAd4
Convention at Denver on July 7th.
State Conventions continue to ex-
press preference for the distin-
guished Nebraskan and all indi-
cations point to his nomination
by reclamation when the conven-
ton meets. Mr.. Bryan seems yet
TO be first in the hearts of his
countrymen'' and is a perfect rep
resentative of the ideal American
citizen of this generation. His
views upon great public questions
coincide with the ideas of the
common people and they believe
him to be safe and sane. The
Nebraska platform, recently
adopted by the democratic con-
vention of that State, said to have
been drafted by Mr.. Bryan, de-
clarss in behalf of:
claws compelling foreign cor
porations to submit their legal
disputes to courts in the State in
which they do business.
Election of United Senates by
direct vote.
Tariff reduction tending to place
the tariff on a purely revenue
basis.
Income-tax and inheritance
taxes.
An immediate declaration of
purpose to recognize the indepen-
dence of the Philippines as soon
as a stable government can be
established.
Congressional control of inter-
state commerce, also railroad reg
~ulation, valuation, control of cap
italization, and lowering of rates.
A Postal savings bank, and gov
ernmental guaranty of bank de-
posts.
An eight-hour working days the
Cancellation of capital and labor
modification of the law relating
to the issuance of injunctlons in
industrial disputes, and an en-
ployers' liability law.
The exclusion of non-assimlla-
BILE Asiatic immigrants and strict
er enforcement of immigration
laws against advocates of govern
mental reform by assassination.
Separate statehood for Arazona
AMI New Mexico, and Territorial
rights for Porto Rico.
The nomination of MI. Bryan
for President"
This is nearly all good demo-
cratic doctrine and doubtless rep
resents the personal views of Mr..
Bryan. The platform denounces
trusts and monopolies and other
evils of modern times in political
circles. There is no misunder-
standing the position of the Ne
braska democracy and from our
knowledge of affairs, their late
pronunciamento, with reference to
public matters, is good enough for
us. If carried into effect, it
means protection for the masses,
equal to that accorded the classes.
The paragraph endorsing Mr..
Bryan for president was to have
been expected. A number of the
state conventions held previous to
this one had taken similar action
and it was only fitting that
the party in his own home state
should show its appreciation OF
this fact and set the pace for 9TH
ers by giving the country q sample
of the platform to be adopted
when the National convention
meets. However, there is grave
dangerof it's being stolen by the, |,
republicans, who will hold their
convention in advance of the dem
ocrats. They have been afflicted

FAILURES HAVE BEEN FEW.

The crisis of the business panic las
ures have been so scarce the country
over as to indicate unusual stability
and soundness in our commercial
structure. There will yet be a far
Their contraction in the volume of bus
mess transactions due to a limiting, of
credit first at the banks and suisse
quently in terms of sale, but financiers
generally agree that the worst is over
so far as monetary stringency Is con-
cerned.
Almost no failures of great mercan-
tile institutions have been recorded
and the soundness OF national, state
and savings banks has been something
remarkable. The failures Of national,
state and savings banks We're less
numerous than in 1893 and the la
bilities were only $39,201.694. as
against s6s,6s7,994 In that year, but
disasters among trust companies have
been the feature of this panic. Liza
bilities OF s11s,000,O00 were involved
in them and in practically al the
cases were due either to rascality on
the part of officers or to the lack of
laws requiring AN adequate reserve
to be kept on hand to guarantee de-
posts. II our trust companies. which
do a banking business, We're subjected
to the same requirements as to re-
serves and inspection as banks are.
the financial failures OF this panic
would have been SO small as to deny
that real panic had existed.
The financial situation is easier, now
however. Many great manufacturing
plants are .resnming operations and
general business Is steadily recovering
from the shock Of recent failures. 1t
will require some time for business
men to resume their OPTIMISM but
with the mills resuming there will be
purchasing and the orders will sur
prise those who are afraid of the flu
ture.
