Should Join The Democrats.

In a speech in Kansas on Tues
day Senator Cummins, of Iowa,
insurgent Republican, attacked
the Steel Trust which is capitaliz-
ed atone billion dollars, of which
the Senator declared $800,000,000
is pure water. He declared that
the entire plant of the Carnegie
Company, member of the trust,
which could be replaced for $780,
100000, had been taken into the
trust at $5OO,000,O00 because the
$500, 100000 investment pays
profit on $5O0,0OO.0O of fictitious
value. The trust is enabled to
earn huge profits on watered
stock by reason of millions Of dol
lars in benefits secured to it by a
Republican tariff. If Senator
Cummins and the voters of this
country generally desire to put an
end to such tariff outrages as he
illustrates in his attack on the
Steel Trust, they should quit In
surging and join the Democratic
party which constitutes the only
hope of putting a stop to the Re
publican policy of taxing the mas.
ses beyond all reason for the bene-
fit of billion dollar trust.-Star.

Man, Poor Man.

An exchange says; MAN that
is born of woman is, small pota-
toes and few in a hill. Infancy
he is full Of collie and catnip tea,
and is old age he is full of cuss
words and rheumatism. In his
youth his mother taketh him
across her knees and sweetens
his life with her slipper, and when
he is a man grown the sheriff
pursueth him all the days of his
life.
He also spreadeth like a green
bay tree. He getteth into Office
and his friends cling to him like
spring flies to a sugar barrel.
He swelleth with vanity, cutteth
ice for a time, but is heWn down
at the convention and cast into
the. salt box, and his name is Den
mis-.
Out Of Office and out of friends
he soon goeth busted and lieth
down in the cow pasture beside
the still waters of the brook. He
dieth out, of the world and goeth
where it's warm enough without
cloths, and the last of that man
is worse than the beginning.

High Point, July BIB. f.
Pearce, the champion Southern
walker of Atlanta, Ga, spent last
night here and told many inter
esting stories about his wonder
ings. Pearce is walking from At
lanta to New York City and return
on wager of 5000 that he is to

states that the eleven hundred

Seven weeks was required to make
the trip, but the walker says he

q. o. ?. Session Passes o. Quietly
Without Rowdyiam or Disorder.
Z. w Wakefield, O. O. Boone
and Guy Weaver Nominated. on
the Legislative Ticket No In
structions as to State Chairman
ship.
Asheville, July 30.-The Repub-
leans of Buncombe county in
largely attended, enthusiastic and
intensely interesting convention
this afternoon nominated com
plete legislative and county ticket
toAoppose the nominees Of the
Democratic party at the polls in
November. James j. Britt was
made permanent chairman of the
convention and he presided with
dignity and fairness. While in in
stances there was considerable
rivalry, there was no bitterness.
The rowdyism and disorder and
bitterness that characterized the
recent Democratic conventions
that have been held over North
Carolina during the past few
months were conspicuous by their
absence. 1t was an orderly and
dignifed convention over which
Britt presided convention that
while spirited and enthusiastic
was withal well-behaved. In fact,
the convention was relief from
those political gatherings that
have heretofore been held.
The Republicans appeared in
earnest In naming a ticket. They
appeared to be fighting in a COM
mon cause and good humor and
party interest prevailed.
In the legislative ticket nomi-
mated, it is contended by the mem
bers of the party that they have
men who are the equal if not the
superior of the Democrats on the
stump. Thomas w. Wakefield,
Familiarity known as "Dick"
Wakefield, is a railroad man well
known in this county. He is a
splendid DICTATOR and hale fell
low well met. G. G. Boone, one o.
the nominees for the legislature,
is well known in the county and |
the district. He was presidential |
elector in 1900 for the late Presi-
dent Mckinley and carried the dis
trict by more than 1000 majority. |
Guy Weaver, who has also been
placed on the legislative ticket, is
well known not only in Asheville |
but throughout Buncombe county. |
He-is north Bqncombe boy, was
raised on the farm and has prac-
ticed law in Asheville for several |
years. He is connected with the
Weaver family of north Bun
combe.
Other nominations were: John
a Nichols, clerk of the court; G.
A. Rice, register of deeds; Clyde
Reed, tax collector; J. F. Barrett,
auditor; w. r. Payne, treasurer,
and Frank NJ. Lindsey, sheriff.
There was nothing said about
endorsing Morehead or any one
else for state chairman.

HARD ON WHIST PLAYrRs.

Standard, Rev. P. R. Law, pays his
respects to certain classes Of
sbridge-Whist players in the follow
ing vigorous language:
The report that came to us not
long ago of a woman so drunken
at a bridge whist party she had to
be carried home was not a matter
for surprise. Drinking and
drunkenness has always been a
proximate result of gambling. Of
course there are other evils that
follow. In fact, the gambling vice
has always played 4 prominent
role in the overthrow OF social or
der, subversion of government, the
prostitution of the home, and the
decentralization and destruction of
men In all ages and everywhere.
How degenerate the community
that tolerates the indecency of
such.a debasing vice In its homes.
What fearful consequences must
follow where a people mingle in
complacent fellowship with wo-
men who frequent such gambling
dens! It is distressing beyond the,
telling that some protesting Chris
tians are entangled in the meshes
of the evil. That it is contrary to
al 1.-The laws of real decency, is a
violation of the laws of God, de-
grading In its nature, and a scan.
dial to true religion, goes without
saying. And whatsoever We do
m word or deed, do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus. y is the di-
vine rule for the Christian life
Commenting upon the Stand
ards conclusion the Statesville
Landmark adds this:
1t may astonish some Of the
Landmarks readers to learn that
some so-called women drink, but
this is a development Of modern
life in some of the so-cal1ed high
social circles especially in the
cities. Plenty of good women
play bridge whist, and denuncia-
ton of all who engage in the game
is unjust, but that the tendency is
dad cannot be questioned. It is
dangerous even for young women
or mature women, but possibly the
worst influence is that it tends to
make gamblers of boys and young
men,"
The Greensboro Daily News re-
produces these comments and ven
lures to say:

R. Hlll, OF denQerS0nVllley Will De
read with peculiar interest by the
people of this town and county,
The exciting event related in
this story occurred IN the last
week of September and the first
week of October in the year of
1880, when the colonies were en-
gagged in a terrific struggle to
throw off the yoke Of the mother
country, mad at a time when the
prospects of success were most
gloomy.
The sceene opens in that section
of western North Carolina known
as the Land of the Sky which
is widely noted in the cotton
States for its bracing air and sal
ubrious climate.
Very little has been written
about it, but it's history is an in
teresting one romantic as that of
any other section of the United
States.
It's mountains are the most pic
turesqHe of the entire Appala-
chain range. From any elevated
positions near Hendersonville or
Asheville, on the Southern Rail-
way, can be seen Mount Mitchell
(that highest peak east of the
Rocky mountains). Mount Pisgah,
Sugar Loaf, Pinnacle, Tryon and
many other peaks that equal and
perhaps surpass, in stately beauty
and symmetry, any that can be
found in the Rocky mountains.
Instead of the brown, barren stone
of the Rockies, which meets and
ties the eye until its monotony
becomes painful, here every peak
is clothed in verdure clear to the
top.
The rock formations are of blue
and gray granite. Limestone is
net found except at the depth of
many feet below the base of the
mountains, and, consequently, the
water is free from lime, as well as
all other substances daleterious to
health.
It was about ten o'clock on
clear, bright morning, such as they
usually have in that region in
September, when Lizzie 1TcWade,
accompanied by her faithful dog,
repaired to the orchards for the
purpose Of getting fruit for the
midday meal. AS she approach
ed the orchard an observer could
not have helped noticing that she
was most attractive in appearance.
She was symmetrical in form, and
her elastic step indicated buyo-
rant vitality, while her fresh, rosy
complexion denoted that perfect
condition of health which is only
attained by regular habits and
life In the open air.
She had just reached the or
ehard and was filing her basket
with the beautiful red apples
which covered the ground, when
her sensitive ear caught the sound
of approaching footsteps: She
stood erect and listened. Some
one was coming along the pathway
that led to Mills river. She glanc-
ed towards Lion that she might |
IL
tell by his expression whether it |
was friend or a stranger ap-
preaching. No one could yet be.
seen, but Lion looked up at her,
smiled and wagged his tail, and
then she knew that it was some
one known to the family.
In another moment she caught |
a glimpse, through the apple |
boughs, of a manly form coming |
towards her along the path. Her
heart gave a bound as she recog-
nized her betrothed-John Patton
from Mills river.
Oh, how fine he looks !" Lizzie |

 Father Robitalle,t the Catholic priest of the girls home parish, testified tn t when Hattie left. West Arichat, she was the best girl in the parish.
