The Rev. DR.. Pockman, we'll
known New Jersey clergyman, told a
story at a mems club meeting in Jer-
sey City of one of his early attempts
to incuicate prohibition sentiment in
an audience to which he was talking
in another part of the State. AS an
example of the evil effects of liquor,
he told of taking little worm and
placing it in glass of water. The
worm enjoyed the bath, swimming
around gayly. He took the worm out
of the water and placed it in a glass
of whisky which he had on the table
beside the water. After few con-
tortions the worm gave up the battle
and was fished out dead. Just as the
reverend doctor was about to explain
lie example a man with deep bass
voice in the back of the room shouted
out: Say, doctor. what brand o.
whisky was that?"

snientists han ns asserts the Ne

Scientists tell us, asserts the New
York Press, that the tuberculosis pes
thence thrives through conditions of
living that can be altered by the intel
ligent use of money. There is no
dis2uting this truth. More air and
light in living rooms, better admin
istration of sanitary regulations of
government and the scrupulous segre-
cation of consumptives will reduce
the heavy mortality from this cause
to vast extent. Hunting the hook
worm and other medical exploration
in which our multi-millionaires en-
gage are trifling by comparison with
what they could do ito stamp out the
white scourge. This is feature of
the war on tuberculosis where dollars
can be made to spell salvation.

An old philosopher once said that
the well-being of the people is like
tree; agriculture is the root, manu-
facture and commerce are its leaves
and branc. -es. If the root IS injured
the leaves fall and the branches
break away, and the tree ultimately
dies. Boys, argues the Agricultural
Epitomist, should carefully consider
this when they want to leave the

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch de-
clares: The only hope of permanent
relief is in striking down monopoly,
not in paralyzing industry or stop
ping trade. We must destroy the
power of monopoly and abolish the
privileges and advantages by which
1t thrives. We must remove the arti-
fetal barriers to the free cooperation
Of the people in production and COM
merce. We must restore the normal
operation of the laws of trade.

The Charlotte News in reporting
the speech of former Senator Butler,
said:
with Ex-senator Marion Butler
advertised as the star attraction, the
Mecklenburg County court room was
almost crowded to the doors when the
Republican county convention was
called to order yesterday afternoon.
Every precinct in the county, with
the exception of Steel Creek No.
and Providence No. 1, was represent
ed by delegates and many Democrats
helped to swell the audience. When
the preliminary business Of the con-
vention was concluded and the time
for the appearance of the ex-senator
rolled around, every seat was occu-
pied and much of the standing room
was taken up. The crowd in the main
was, of course, composed Of Repub-
Iicans, but there were many Demo
Gratis in the audience, anxious to hear
what the returned chieftain had to
say
The following is a report of the
speech ITOm Tic SudI lQlIc oDS0ItCI-
The former Senator was in good
form. He entered into the fight with
zest and his voice rang clear as with
vehement gesture and biting sarcasm
he arraigned the Democratic party in
this State, charged it with violated
pledges, with malicious attacks upon
him, and pointed to the Republican
party as the only hope for good gov
ernment in this State. The speaker
was heard by an audience which filled
the criminal court room, numbering
500 or 500 people. He was cordially
received and given good support al
though some Of his most denuncia-
tory periods were not marked by ap-
plause.
Tt was $50 o'clock when Chairman
Jake F. Newell reconvened the con-
vention after a temporary adjourn
ment, and after the platform had
been read and adopted, so that the
ex-senator might comment on it, he

proceeded to introduce him. In his
preliminary remarks he referred to
the fact that Mr.. C.. w Tillett, who
had been talked of for Democratic
candidate for G @vernor, had scriti-
cised Butler in speech at Winston
Salem. He did not think that a man
who was big enough TO run for Gov
ernor wouldn't be afraid to meet the
man he's always cussing. He attrib-
uted the refusal of the Democrats to
send a man to divide time, to the ex-
Senator's prowess in debate. For
they know that from his belt hangs
the scalps of Simmons, Aycock, and
how many others, colonel?"
''Oh, l don't know" rejoined Mr..
Butler with a deprecatory smile.
Mr.. Newell concluded by presenting
him as "a man who has given you
more during his brief life than the
whole Democratic party has" The
speaker of the day was cheered when
he arose to speak.
Senator Butler. began by express
ing approval of the platform just
read. "It is sufficient reason for
every voter in Mecklenburg to vote
the Republican ticket and put the
principles therein enumerated into
practice" (Applause.)
In CASTOR the other day he took
just such a platform and held 1t up
and called for the Democratic plat
form for the purpose of comparison.

trading and swapping and swapping

Major Stedman and told him to run
as fast as he could but gave him no
platform to run on. One man when
asked about this said that he thought
it was Major Stedman's wish not to
have a platform 50 that two years
hence he would not have to go up
and down explaining violated pledges,
as Governor Kitchin has to do now,
telling why he didn't give you any

It's to their credit that the Democrats
have quit having platforms, for thus
they don't add to their others, the
sin of lying.

Million OF Dollars Saved to the

MIIlIOn OF DOliars saved 10 the

The Republican party has always
favored public education. They first
incorporated provision in our State
Constitution providing for a four
months public school, free of costs
to the poor children of the State.
In every State In the Union where
the Republican party shapes the poll
cy of the State. high schools and pub
lie schools, as well as colleges and
universities, are numerous and gen.
erously supported and encouraged.
In many of the Republican States
in the Union the children are sup
piled with free school books and are
conveyed at public expense to and
from the school houses. so that the
little girls and boys In bad weather
will have no excuse for falling to at
tend school every day. The school
term in these States extend from
seven to nine months.
The Democratic party In North
Carolina did very little for public
education after the war. The State
constitution, framed by Republicans.
declared for a four months school
in every school district in North
Carolina, but this constitutional re-
quirement was ignored. When the
Republicans and Populists gained
control of the State i'm 1895. the pub
lie schools of this State were in a
|dilapidated condition. They had.
from 1887 TO 1895, less than ten
years, increased the rate OF taxation
