Tariff Reform and Its Kind.

The Philadelphia Record says all
the Republican declarations on the
tariff. from the moderate n of Min
nesota to the gross absurdity OF Penn
s~ylvania, show that the Dingley tarlf1
will be revised only in the high pro
lection sense. The Record goes on
to say:
NO enemy will be permitted to lay
nrofane hands on the sacred edlf1ce
What that means has been seen more
than once in the history of the party
of protection. That there may be nc
mistake as to it's present purpose a
resolution introduced by Serene Il
Payne provides that the committee OF
ways and means, of which he Is
chairman, shall take up the suDJec'
during the summer vacation or con
gress and use the materials collected
by government agents and experts as
a basis for future revision. With this
campaign maneuver the Stand-patters
and the trusts are entirely satisfied
in hat ii fOreshadOwS an 1ntermln
able delay in making such tariff re
vision only as will serve their inter
ests. At the same time it stops the
mouths of all such Republican friends
of tariff reform as prefer party te
| the public welfare. Thus with the
| stand-patters and the trusts In one
ring and the tariff reformers in the
other the Republican party will marcf
in perfect harmony to accomplish the
main end in the preservation OF pollt
ical power"

Sarah Harris. the wife of Lou Harris,
WAS horn April 1, 1878, and departed
this life May %, 1908, aged 30 years
and u days. She was married Septem-
Der 30, 1897, and was kind and loving
wife up to her DEATH Her domestic re-
lations were pleasant and congenial and
her home was one of the most refined
and we'll ordered homes among our col
ored citizens. At the age of twelve
years she embraced faith in Christ and
lived consistent Christian life from that
time until God called her hence to the
realms above where pain and sickness,
sorrow and death are felt and feared no
more While it is sad to give her up we
know that soon or late all men must die;
yet it brings sorrow to our hearts when
dea tn does come to one so lovely and of
such good repute. But we know that
God has not and cannot make a mistake.
So when it has pleased Tim in His all
wise providence to take from US one
of our dearly beloved ones let us bow
in humble submission to His will and
command and say as the Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away, blessed be
the name Cf the Lord as He doeth all
things for the best. And may the God OF
Heaven who has all things at His COM
mand guide US along through life's dark
journey in this world while we live and
when it is His good pleasure to call us
hence may we be able to say if this is the

gladly go with thee.

Nomination of Horne the Solution.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
Brunswick county cast it's vote
solidly for Horne. The Chronicle was
pretty well posted from that quarter
and was anticipating such action.
The LumbertOn correspondent of the
Wilmington Star says:
"HandbiIls are being distributed
through this section calling on the
lovers of good government to meet
i'll the opera house Wednesday night,
June 3D., for the purpose of organ
izing n Horne Club. Some of Mr..
Horne's friends claim that he will
have at least half of RobesOn's vote
i'll the State convention. That part
of it will be settled next Saturday
when the primaries are held in the
different townships. One thing is
sure, Mr.. Horne seems to be growing
in strength all the time"
These are signs OF the etimes-straws
which show the way the wind is
blowing. Horne is developing sur
prising degree OF strength as the
campaign progresses. 1t becomes
clearer every day that the nomina-
tion OF Horne is the solution of the
gubernatorial problem of North Car

Wilmington's Future.

Wilmington Star.
There is no let-up in the energy with
which the Clinchtieid Coal Fields
Railroad is being pushed to compile
ton. 1t will not be long before cars
loaded with coal at the mines in that
section will be shot through on one
line to the wharyes at Wilmington
and from here sent by steamer to all
parts OF the globe. Wilmington will
then be one of this country's coal
distributing points on the Atlantic
seaboard. More than this, she will
become one of the leading gateways
for trade between the interior and
foreign points. The completion of
this line OF railroad will be OF vast
Importance to our city. Couple with
this our 30-foot channel which will
come in due time and there is no fore
cast too roseate to be made as to
the prospects of our city. She will
become the queen city of the South
Atlantic, with a shipping business
never dreamed of by her people.
This is no fancy sketch of our city's
future, but true prediction which
will be realized in the near future.
All that is necessary for its fulfllment
Is Tor Wllmlngtonians to display a
spirit OF pluck and perseverance-de-
termlned to make the most of oppor-
tunltles where offered and to make

Discriminative Adulation.

There is little too much disposition

In some quarters, the prohibition
victory in Forsyth county is regard
ed as IL great compliment to him,
Forsyth being his home county but
the people OF Forsyth will he, prob
ably, not disposed to give all the
credit to the Governor. The women
of Monroe held meeting and started
a movement to raise funds all over
the State, to be used for the purpose
of obtaining and presenting to Gov
ernOr Glenn a suitable testimonial
for ''the patriotic and manly stand
he has taken in declaring that he
would protect the women of the State
who might try to influence votes in
proper manner at the polls on May
26th."
Governor Glenn is an excellent gen-
tleman and his services TO the cause
of prohibition have been of a heroic
kind, but we see no reason for laud-
ing him over a hundred Others we
could name to whom equally as much
credit is due. His manly stand in
protecting the women is Just the
stand any other honest governor
would have taken had there oeen any
need of it. The thing seems to be
taking too wide IL departure from
common sense to sentimentalism

The Mecklenburg Waters Have
Won Again.

The Merkl4nburg Mineral Springs
Company is Just in receipt OF a medal,
the highest award won by any wa
ters at the jamestown Exposition.
The jury of awards was composed Of
the most eminent physicians and
chemists ut home anu abroad. This
fact, coupled with the fact that the
Mecklenburg Water carried off the
highest awards at the Worlds Fair,
Chicago, as well as at the st. Louis
Exposition, is most gratifying to the
owners. since their claim has been
substantiated by the worlds highest
authorities, namely: that the Meek
lenburg Lithia Waters has no. equal
in cases of Bright's disease, Kidney
and Bladder trouble, Rheumatism,
Gout and Indi yestion, also that the
Chloride of Calcium Water not only
has no equal in this country, but not
even a rival between here and Carls-
bad, Germany, in all Catarrhal
troubles, Eczema, and Stomach Dis
orders, besides being n great natural
Blood purifier. 1t positively cures
boila, and carbuncles, as we'll as old
sores
Tie merits and curative powers of
these great waters cannot be ques-
toned, and to give them the widest
possible range OF usefulness, the
owners are perfectly willing, until
foreign orders require all their sup
ply, TO reduce the price to the home,
or local trade. Indeed, they prefer
that he consumers should use two
cases at the price of one, instead OF
one case at the price of two, for the
more they drink the better abvertis-
ers they will he for the waters.
Therefore to this end, prices have
been reduced SO that all can use
them. Ask your druggist for prices.
These waters are sold by leading

Laughter and Digestion.

That IL normal mind is really IL ba-
sis of good digestion is shown by the
remarkable s-nsitiveness OF the di-
gpstive process TO mental conditions.
Sudden sorrow, bad news, disaster,
great loss of property Or friends,
great disappointments not only ar
rest all the digestive processes but
even suspend the formation of the
gastric juices.
1t has been shown that when the
gastric follicles are distened and the
gastric juices flowing freely from
them, when one is hungry and eating
with that relish, the sudden receipt
of bad news completely become
parched, dry, feverish, and food will
remain in the stomache for many
hours with the digestive processes
absolutely suspended.
The digestion seems to be depend
ent upon the condition of the mind
Often our passing moods hasten or
retard digestion.
We often hear ehople, especially
delicate women who have nervous
dyspepsia, say that thay can go
out to late suppers or banquets aud
eat heartily of all sorts of incongru-
Gus foods without feeling any incon-
venience afterward.
They do not realize that it is due
to the change in the mental attitude.
They have had a good time; they
have enjoyed themselves. The lively
conversation, the jokes that caused
them to laugh heartily, the bright,
cheerful environment completely
changed the mental attitude, and, OF
course, these conditions were re-
flected in the digestion and every
other part of the system Laughter
and good cheer are enemies OF
dyspepsia. Anything which will
divert the dyspeptie's MUD from his
ailments will improve his digestion.
When they were at home worrying

Smile and Wait.
Success Magazine.

Success Magazine.
One of the hardest, and yet-one of
the most useful lessons we can ever
learn, is to smile and wait after we
have done our level best.
1t is a finely turned mind that eau
struggle with energy and cheerful
ness toward the goal which he cannot
see. But he is not a great philoso-
pher who has not learned the secret
of smiling and waiting.
A great many can smile at difficult
ties who cannot wait, who lack
patience; but the man who can both
smile and wait, if he has that te-
nacity of purpose which never turns
back will surely WIN
The fact is, large things can only
be done by optimists. Little sue
cesses are left to pessimistic people
who cannot set their teeth, clench
their fists, and smile at hardships or
misfortunes and patiently wait.
Smile and wait-there are whole
volumes in this sentence. 1t is so
much easier for most people to work
than to wait.
