Saturday afternoon a huge snake_ of
the water mocecasin species and 4 fect
long, was seen crawling about the back
door of Mr. Allen WarrenTs residence at
Riverside Nursery. The snakesoondis-
appeared under the house. and when
Ollen went to the house he was told
what had occurred. Not liking for
such a visitor to be loitering about the
premises, he started a search for the
snake. It aid not take long to locate
the presence of the snake, though the
way it was found was remarkable.
Looking under the back poreh Ollen
saw the old family cat standing guard
overa sink in the ground. The cat
stood motionless, her eyes fixed stead-
ilyon something in the hole. Ollen
removed a plank from the floor of the
porch and there was snake, moving
about the sink in a restless manner as
if trying to escape the siare of the cat.
Ile got a pistel and killed the snake and
wound up hisstory ef the adventure

Epiror Rerrector :"The Demo-
cratic Convention of the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety six has assembled, done its work
and gone back to their various homes
in different parts of the State. There
was a large attendance and all the

Every county, with probably one ex-
ception, was represented and in point
of intelligence, broad-minded patrictism
and sincere and earnest devotion to the
interest of the Anglo-Saxon race, and
the general welfare of all, we doubt if
there ever gathered a superior body
of men in this grand old commonwealth.
All minor differences, petty rivalries
and personal efforts to promote the as-
pirations of any particular favorite seem
to have been subordinated to a desire
on the part of all to select the best and
strongest men to lead the Democratic
host to victory in November. The
Convention has put forward a strong
ticket of true and tried men and there
will be no flinching or quailing in the
hand to hand fight for the control of
our State affairs.
There was no organized eftort made
to antagonize the free silver platform.
It is true there were firm believers in a
sound currency, but they knew that the
silver question has assumed such vast
proportions that it can never be elimi"
nated from American politics until it is
firm!y established by a reversal of the
law ot 1873, or crushed out by a test
vote of the people. The only way to
settle this burning question of the day
is to let its advocates have free coinage
of silver without any limitation. If it
will bring about relief ana prosperity,
as zealous supporters claim ii will do, all
will be If on the other
hand evil consegences result from it we

Just so long as the present state of

THE PLATFORM AND CANDIDA-
TES. .
Of late years a great deal is being
said about platforms being straddles,
efforts are constantly made to twist
language and endeavor to make it mean
something which it never was intended
to mean. The platform of the last
Demveratic National Convention as
truly meant the free coinage of silver
as it is necessary for such an instrument
to mean, but Mr. Cleveland put an en-
tirely different construction upon it.
Therefore the eyes of the people in
North Carolina were turned to the
State Convention last week to see what
its platform would say. To-day we
give it to ourreaders. We are glad to
say that it is no straddle upon any
It is clear cut and has the right

ring about it. We dare say
will suit every honest lover of good gov-
ernment in the State.
How about the cancidates that have
heen nominated npon this platform ¢
First we have Cyrus B. Watson, ot
Winston, for Governor. THe is an able.
successful lawyer. He has ever been a
bitter opponent of trasts in all shapes.
At all times from the beginning he has
fought for silver and is now an earnest
adyocate for free coinage at the ratio of
16 to 1. He has never been an office
seeker. Heis a man of the people.
Born poor he has made himself what he
is, Heis a candidate of the people and
ought to receive their united support
against vudge Rnssell.

NORTH CAROLINA. FOR SILVER.
seater
Platform Adcpted by the Democratic
State Convention.
Whereas the Democratic party had
its birth in Mr. JeffersonTs great contest
against the centralization of the powers
of the Federal Government, and in be-
half of the strict construction of the
FederalT Constitution embodied in the
tenth amendment thereto, in which all
power not delegated to it were ex-
pressly reserved to the States, res pect-
ively, or to the people, and whereas, the
Republican party has ever been the
party of centralization, resolved
"1. That we appeal to the people to
oyserve this fundamental difference
between the Democratic party and its
traditional enemy in respect to the
powers of the central government.
2. That the Constitution of the Uni-
ted States recognizes both gold and sil-
ver as the primary or redemption mon-
ey cf these States, and that, in the
words of the National Democratic plat-
form of 1884, oWe believe in honest
money, the gold and silver coinage of
the Constitution, and a circulating me-
dium convertible into such money with-
out loss.�
3. We favor, independently of other
and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold, without discrimina-
tion against either, at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1, and we condemn the
system which in a time of peices with
millions of silver bullion lying idle in
the Treasury, has forced the guvern-
nations, the free
years, to issue $262,00U,000 of bonds,
entailing this enormous debt upon the
people, in oréer to maintain its credit
upon a single standard anda gold
basis.
4. We condemn the action of the
Secretary of the Treasury in tollow-
ing-the Republican precedent of paying
the
specifically made
the obligations of (sovernment
in gold which were
payable in coin.
Dd. We hereby instruct our delegates
to the National conventioa, both as to
platform and candidate, to advocate aid |
vote as a unit, unflinchingly aad at all
hazards, for the restoration of silver,
and otherwise in ovedience to the lette:
aad spirit of the principles herein enun-
ciated.
We furtker instruct our delegases,
State and district. to use all their ef:
forts to abrogate the two-thirds rule,
if necessary to secure the nomination
of a candidate in complete, in hearty,
and in known accord with the princi-
ples hereia enunciated by us.
6. We warn the people against the
threatened combined evils of the gold
standard and the McKinley Tariff.
These twin monsters go hand in hand
in their mission of destruction, draw-
ing the very su3tenance from the body
of the people, and concentrating all
wealth and power in the hands of a
few. 2 |
7. We denounce tue McKinley Tariff
and all other forms of protective tariff
legislation, and favor the constitutionas
tariff for revenue only. :
8. We favor the repeal ot the uncon-
stitutional tax of ten sad vent. on Staté

OLD GLORY LIVES ON.
Hew Perpetual Life Is Secured for the
Capitol Building Flags. "
It is a question which no one can an-
swer what becomes of the flags which
fly session after session over the two
houses of congress. The life of a flag
exposed at such « height to the tatter-
ing winds naturally cannot be long.
Every now and then, after a storm,
a great rent is seen in ~Old Glory,� as_
it proclaims from the housetop that:
} our statesmen are deliberating. Some-
times the edges only are frayec. Some-
times a stripe is gone, or, perhaps, half
the stars may be torn away. Then in
a day or two it flies again, with all its |
stripes and its stars, as if it had never
suffered by the storm.
I asked what became of the old flags.
Nobody knew.
What do you do with them?
Nothing. ;
They are the same flags; that is, there
are no new ones, The old flags are sim- |
ply mended. There is a patriotic poem
in this. oOld Glory� bos a perpetual
life; that is, the oOld Glory� that
presides over the capitol. When a stripe
blows away, a new, one is put in its
place, and the same old flag iy pulled
to the head of the staff. It is the blue
field and stars. If it is the blue field
and stars that is gone, this is repro-
duced. If only a rent, it is darned; if
a hole, it is patched. Then another
stripe goes, and a new one is added. So
on, the old portions are blown away,
the newer standing until the new be- |
comes the old in turn and tears away,
and in endless evolution the old flag
lives on, It is always the same flag,
, but from year ~to year its entire tex-
| ture is changed, and the small bits are
' blown away by the winds, and other
| small bits take their place. There is
no graveyard for oOld Glory.� It has
perpetual life. No one can tell when
the flag which floats over the senate
was bought. It is still a perfect flag,
but no part of what was first drawn
te the masthead is now in existence."
Vashington Star.
Golden Toast.
Cut bread into even pieces, toast and
hutter the pieces and moisten them
with hot water. Boil six eggs hard.
Separate the whites from the yolks;
chop the whites and press the yolks
through a colander or sieve. Make a
white sauce, usipg one tablespoonful
each of butter and flour ccoked together
and then add a cupful of cream or milk.
When it is well thickened add the
chopped whites and season with pepper
and salt. Spread this mixture on the
slices of toast and cover the top with
the mashed yolks. Sprinkle the yolks
evenly over the pieces till they look very
yellow. Serve very hot.--Good House-
keeping.
