WHAT AMAZING FOLLY.
Wilmington Star.
For fifty-two years out of the one
hundred and three since the first
President of the United States was
inaugurated the party
was in control of and shaped the
policy of this government. Dur-
those fifty-two years the Re-
public achieved its greatest glories
on land and on sea, and extended
its domain from ocean to ocean.
Up to 1860 there was no com-
plaint of class legislation, no com-
plaint of the government being
administered in the interest of
money lords or monopolists, there
was no exacting of monstrous
tribute from the people for the en-
of the few, no special
legislation in the interest of men
who paid for it by liberal
to campaign funds, no govern-
mental paternalism to make men
by law, no govern-
mental with the
business affairs of the people, or
in the affairs of States. This has
all come to pass within the past
thirty years, since the Republican
party came into power.
Within these thirty years all the
legislation which has been passed
affecting the governmental policies
of this country has sprung from j
the Republican party, which is
responsible, for every grievance of
which the people complain, which j
may be the result directly or in-
directly of the governmental
pursued. No living man can
point to one single act of which
the people or against
which the statesmen of the third
party so loudly protest, for which
the Democratic party is
The Democratic party is not re-

for legalized plunder.

lavish donation of the public lands
to railroad corporations.
It is not responsible for the de-

It is not responsible for destroy-
the foreign market of the far-
mer and compelling him to depend
upon the delusive
It is not responsible for the
millionaires whose fortunes
range from to
each, who can and do control
the legislation of this country.
It is not responsible for making
the talisman to a seat in
the United States Senate.
It is not responsible for the
trusts, combines, rings and
against which so much pro-
test has been made, which are the
outgrowth of the governmental
policies which have prevailed with-
in the past thirty years.
All these things, and more, have
happened since the Democratic
party went out of power and since
the party came into
power. It alone is responsible.
Where, then, is the sense or the
justice in arraigning the Demo-
party and charging it with
responsibility for the ills resulting
from blundering or corrupt
when it had nothing to do
with it, but bus fought against it
constantly, resolutely and
through all these years
What folly is it that
inspires men who for all these
years, or the greater part of them
have stood in the Democratic lines
and under Democratic banners
and fought against the combined
powers of corruption and greed,
to desert their colors now when
we are on the eve of securing what
we have struggled so long for, and
when the Democratic party is
stronger than it ever has been
within thirty years
What idiotic ambition, or
treachery is it in the men
once were who
now labor to create dissension,
and to destroy the party which
for thirty years has stood between
the people and oppression, and
prevented the government from
being converted into a centralized
despotism I
This is what some men who have
once been Democrats are now
doing in the South, and doing it
JUST THE OF IT.

Plymouth Beacon.
Often as we stand upon the
banks of the Roanoke and see raft
after raft of pine logs being taken
out of the State to be manufactured,
we hear men say that in a short
time the wealth of our forests will
be exhausted then the lumbermen
will pull and go elsewhere and
Plymouth will be left flat.
So it is, and has been for many
years, the supply of logs produced
by our extensive forests is so great
that the capacity is
unable to handle it, hence it has
to be shipped out of the State to
be manufactured. While this is
true, it is not a necessity. We
have three mills that manufacture
all the lumber they can, and now
that this number is insufficient we
should increase the manufacturing
capacity to correspond with the
supply, then if the supply of the
manufactured is greater than the
local demand, which it will be, let
the lumber be shipped already
manufactured. What the South,
and especially this section, needs
is manufacturing enterprises, then
if the supply of the forest is ex-
as is predicted, the South
will have reaped the benefit of
what has gone.

est is also true of all other inter-

heart to flutter and who is well

affirm he remained single
owing to the fact that he did not
feel capable of a woman
happy. This very statement re-
vealed the truth that he would in-
deed the man to make one of
the best of husbands, in con-
sequence make a very happy
woman of the girl he chose for his
wife.
It is not the man who is afraid
he will not the bill in the mat-
play that is the one that
fails signally in the role. If he
ever ventures so far asks a
woman to be his wife she is pretty
sure that her life will be pleasant
so far as her domestic relations
are concerned. If his modesty is
not assumed he will never quite
recover from the surprise at her
accepting him and he will always
regard her love as a possession
that is exceedingly precious and
must be carefully guarded lest it
slip away from him. No mutter

modest, unassuming bachelor will
prove the devoted admiring

On the other hand, the superb
who considers that ho be-
stows a little of heaven with
the giving of his name is the one
that is going to make a girl
wretched. He feels as though per-
haps he were too precipitated in
his wooing and shows her by his
actions if he does not tell her in so
many words that there were
other girls just dying for him.

Girls, do not be deceived by the
gay, showy men, who are
selfish who could never
love any as well as their own
charming selves. Do not let the
fine figure, handsome face and
dashing air make you snub the
quiet, modest chap who blushes
when you speak and appears a
trifle stupid before the gay
flow of talk of the more
dashing rival. The modest man is
the one for the long race and, if

charms of the one will be complete-

SHALL CHURCHES ADVERTISE
Somerville
Mu. In reading your
church column I have often won-
why it is that there is so
little in it about some of the
churches. The activities of some
of them are well reported. Take
the Prospect Hill Congregational,
for instance- No reader of your
paper can help receiving the
impression that it is a live, active
institution that exists for the
purpose of doing the greatest good
to the greatest number. Into such
a church people would naturally
be attracted, and this leads me to
tho matter about which I wanted
to say just a word, namely, the
value of advertising to churches.
I may be a upon this sub
but I do not believe that
many things succeed in these days
without being advertised. I don't
mean advertised by displayed
notices in advertising columns in
all cases, but I do mean calling
public attention to them by means
of ink in some way. As
I understand it you insert all these
church notices without
and that being the case I should
think that the pastors would be
swift to embrace the opportunity
to keep tho activities of their
respective churches before the
public. A pastor could sit down
and in fifteen minutes each week
write out enough for a quarter of
a column about his church, all
good readable matter that would
the . interest of his own
flock and perhaps interest some-
body else. I cannot conceive why
that they should neglect such an
opportunity of reaching the public.
A even with its attractions,
be accounted foolish should
it neglect to tell the public what
are upon its boards Why should
not the church use the same
in seeking to uplift and
save men that the playhouses do
in seeking to amuse them I
think that pastors throw away one
grand opportunity for helping
their churches- by not keeping the
public generally better posted
about what is going on in the

equestrian statue of Lee. the gal-
leader and commander in-chief
of the Confederate army- This
monument was erected out of the
voluntary contributions of the
Southern people who
were vanquished and despoiled
and is very justly their pride. Not
until last week, on a picturesque
spot overlooking the Hudson, was
the first stone laid upon which is to
be reared a monument to Grant, the
victorious leader and commander-
in-chief of the Federal
people who have since the war
been drawers of pensions paid
largely by a defeated, impoverish-
ed South. And this first stone has
only been laid after years of
entreaty to Congress and
tent importunity to every other
source except their own full pocket-

of their patriotism and love for
their distinguished leader.

The qualifications of Mr.
Barrett are too well known to need
any comment.
His service to the party cannot
be better illustrated than his
to Democratic principle when
in the campaign of 1884, when his
uncle, Capt. L. J. Barrett, was a
candidate for Congress he march-
ed the polls and voted the
straight Democratic ticket against
him, whom he thought a great deal
of, and in fact loved next to his
father. Mr. Barrett has always
been very active in every campaign,
has made many sacrifices for the
party, and while having been be-
fore a candidate for Register of
Deeds, always gave his successful
rival his hearty support. His
name too will bring to the party
all the strength of the
Democracy of Farmville, and if he
is nominated his election will not
only be assured, but the county of
Pitt will have a Register that is
competent, attentive and obliging,
and I know will give perfect
faction for tho next two years to
come. Farmville

Machines arc in use in Paris and
some other cities which will heat
great quantities of milk to a tempera-
of about US for a few
minutes, and then cool it rapidly to
a low temperature. The method has
been called tho pasteurization of
milk. It does not kill all tho
hut it does destroy so many of
them that it greatly increases tho
properties of the milk.
Moreover, it almost entirely destroys
tho danger from disease germs in
milk, since nearly all forms likely to
occur hi milk are killed by this
Tho advantage of this
method is that the of
docs not give to tho milk
tho of boiled milk, which most
find unpleasant, and does not
render the milk difficult of digestion.
