The Asheboro Courier SAYS the
Democratic party in this State has re-
stored public confidence and the
States credit. We took occasion
last week to show that the Courier's
statement was not true, that while
North Carolina bonds sold above par
under fusion rule, that there was
scarcely any sale for them at all I'M
der the Democratic rule-or-ruin pol
icy. AS further evidence of the
truth of our statement we submit
the following excerpt from an article
that appeared in the last issue OF
the Peoples Paper, an independent
paper published at Charlotte:
IF we mistake not North Caro-
lima bonds, which sold a few years
back for 1917 are now selling al
about 9S-was this brought about
by the legislation of business men OF
snide politicians?"

Republican Platform for Wake
County.

Adopted by the Wake County Re
publican Convention at Raleigh, N.
c., August Is, 1908.
The Republican Party of Wake
County invites all electors dissatis-
fed with present conditions, to sup
port our nominees who stand pledged
to the following, to-wit:
1. Retrenchment and reform must
be inaugurated in both county and
city government. Stop wasteful ex-
penditures, abolish Offices created
simply for party henchmen, and
adopt reform in administration, else
bankruptcy will settle upon this
country
2. The principle of local self-gov.
iernment should be maintained. The
management of highways and
schools, the selection of magistrates
and the direction of local affairs
must rest directly with the people.
3. Pay the officers of Wake Coun
ty fair salaries and turn the fees
they now receive into the county
treasury. The Democratic party ha!
three times refused to give this re
form demanded by the people.
4. The present. Highway Commits
sion, a piece of vicious Democratic
partisan legislation, must be abol
ished.
5. We demand a fair election law
| which will permit an elector to cas-
a ballot privately without interior
ence or dictation.
For the accomplishment of these
righteous measures we appeal to al
good citizens to join us.

Before the Democratic National
Convention was held at Denver, Mr..
Bryan said that he would make no
speeches If nominated. Since he re-
ceived the nomination he has made
scores and scores of speeches, and
the end it not yet. What caused
Bryan to change his mind after get
ting the nomination? Was it be-
cause he was afraid his party would
not nominate him unless he made
this promise, or was it because he
thought it absolutely necessary if he
expected to make any showing at al
in November election?
P. S.-If you don't believe thai
Bryan made this promise, ask the
Greensboro correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer wnere he got his
information.

he will appeal to the prejudices, to

Attachment Proceedings by Leon Es-

lease Today

The thirsty who sought relief at the
Bismarck cafe, Main street and Wins

by locked doors and dark surroundings.
The Bismarck is the polite name for the
resort known to its patrons and others
as the Bucket of Blood" Its proprie-
tor is Jack" Edwards. voted prince
of good fellows by his friends. and
man with a history.
That the thirsty and gore-seeking
public was turned away was due to
the canker of financial distress which
seems to have eaten the vitals of 'the
bucket" for yesterday the Leon Es-
CALLER company brought attachment
against Edwards on an
open account for liquors amounting to
$500. At 4:30 o'clock the sheriff served
the papers in a placid, matter-of-fact
way, and the bucket of blood" was
turned bottom upward, for the night at
least 1t is understood an effort will
be made to release the attachment to-
day, but it Is also understood other
creditors are clamoring and that the
outlook for Edwards future is not
promising.

trolls the place has a mortgage on the
fixtures and is also protected with trust

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS 81
OFFICIALS INSPECT
NEW ALARM SYSTEM
VISIT SIGNAL FACTORY AT
WHITTIER
Push Button Device Manufactured In
Southern California May Be
Tested In Los Angeles
Shortly

Mayor A. c. Harper, superintendent
F. w. Frankhouser of the fire alarm
telegraph, Councilman Henry Lyon,
City Auditor w. C. Mushet, City Elec-
trician r. H. Manahan and other city
officials spent several hours at Whit
tier yesterday inspecting the plant Of
the alarm signal system works of AL
Sohm. This was formerly a Los An
geles enterprise, but under bonus
was moved to Whittier.
The Sohm system has been suggest
ed as one which Los Angeles might
adopt instead of the Gamewell If it de-
sired to spend less money on the fire
department.
The patent is a push button annun-
ciator affair. excellent for certain pur-
poses, but declared by Superintendent
Frankhouser to be entirely unsuitable
for Los Angeles.
"The system can easily be put out of
order" said he, land there is no
chance of ringing second alarm. They
say you can telephone and telegraph
over the line, but this has been found
to be costly practice on our wires in
the past.
"I am opposed to all open circuits.
1t is cheaper, it is true, but the insur-
ance companies will not stand for
them, their cost of maintenance is
high and if there is no efficiency what
is the use of having fire alarm sig
nal system?'
The Sohm people say their systems
have been found to work well and they
are anxious to establish an experiment
tai service in Los Angeles.
The Whittier hosts drove the visitors
about the city in automobiles.

NEW KIND OF TRICK

Peddlers Sell Worthless Nuts, but

Good SampIes-Find
Many Victims

A shell game, peculiar to ITSELF was
discovered when Patrolman Larson of

Smith and Harry J. Roberts on a
charge of peddling without a license.
The men, 1t seems, were driving a
wagon loaded with walnuts in sacks,
which they peddled to small grocery
stores in the outskirts of Los Angeles.
These walnuts, it is alleged. were old,
worm-eaten and hardly anything else
but Shells A small hole was cut in
each sack in which a handful of good
nuts were placed. When the prospec-
tive buyer wished to examine the
stock he would be told to take a few
from the opening. In every case the
trick would succeed and the men
worked a successful game until they
were arrested for violating the license
ordinance and their deception discov-
cred.

PLANS DRAIN FOR
NEW YORK VALLEY
County Supervisors Are Invited to
Restore illegally Diverted Waters
to Their Original
Channel

City Engineer Homer Hamlin has
made report on the petition of o. l..
Morgan ct al in regard to the culverts
at Philadelphia and Milwaukee street
intersections with New York street in
the Garvanza section.
The engineers office has prepared
plans for a storm drain starting at
Branch and Meridian streets, crossing
New York street at Philadelphia street
and ending at the city boundary at
Ash street. between Baltimore and Bu-
chanan street.
A large amount of storm water comes
down this valley. considerable por-
gally diverted down Eagle Rock ave-
nue. into Pasadena avenue.
The engineer has recommended that
the county supervisors be requested to
restore this diverted portion to its
original channel.
Without the storm drain, when this
restoration is made, the New York val
ley will be badly flooded and no surface
culvert which Engineer Hamlin's force
could design would be of any material
benefit.
With the storm drain in, culverts at
Philadelphia street would be unneces-
sary. and the water coming down to
Milwaukee street could be readily
handled by a small lateral up that
street.
The plans for the improvement of
New York street do not call for cul-
verts at the points named, as it was
hoped that they would be rendered un-
necessary by the construction of the
storm drain.
If they are constructed it will there
fore be necessary for the city to pay
for the same or start new proceedings
and put them in under the Vrooman
act.
The city authorities will suggest that
the petitioners reach a decision re-
garding the storm drain.

sion; also for the return of 2SS,oO0
shares of the company stock which
they hold and the surrender OF $S2ooo
said to have been received by the

"ODYLIC DYNAMO" WILL
TREAT ALL CASES OF
LOCOM0T0R ATAxlA

Mr.. r. G. Doyle, the "odylic dyna-
mo-" who has for several Sundays
past been giving free demonstrations
of his marvellous power at Chutes
park, has been requested by the man.
agement to devote one Sunday after
noon to a special free demonstration
of the result of the application of
"odylic force or "Von Reichenbach
rays" to the amelioration of locomotor
ataxia.
Accordingly on next Sunday after
noon, June 7, 1908, from to 3 O'Clock.
the demonstrations at Chutes park will
be continued as In the past; but those
suffering from locomotor ataxta or any
similar disease are especially requested
to attend In order that Mr. Doyle's
powers may be publicly manifested
by free and public exposition of his
methods and the results of the same.
Every one suffering from locomotor
ataxia is invited to be present and to
allow Mr.. Doyle to demonstrate, upon
the stage in the pavilion, in public, his
ability in such cases. Remember, no
charges made for these demonstrations
whatever, Mr.. Doyle only asking any
one who feels that he or she has been
cured or benefited to allow the crowd
In attendance to know exactly what
benefit they have received from Mr.
Doyle's efforts.
In the days of Baron Won Reichen-
bach the true nature Of "odylic
forces" or rays" was, of course, not
even guessed at, although the practical
results of the application of such rays
to the treatment of diseased tissues or
portions of the body was noticed.
Even now the matter is but little un-
derstood, and no entirely satisfactory
explanation of the results achieved has
been evolved, but the results them
selves. the sufferers from the various
diseases readily feel and appreciate.
and all such, together with their physi-
clans, are invited to the public demon
stration.
