the region and enjoy the pleas-

thought that might gain some

to see your little articles with
reference to Mr. Bryan; I had
but dimly hoped he might be
elected, and I voted for him.

have no hesitation in telling you
that yours is a far better paper

The State ticket earned the
fifth district by 1,875 majority.
The State ticket lost the eighth
district by majority.
The State ticket lost the tenth
district by majority.
Except on presidential years,
the 8th district is Democratic.
Barring a colossal corruption
fund, the 10th district is safely
Democratic. Apart from local
personal contests, that may
come to any party at any time,
the 5th district is a
stronghold of Democracy and
will remain so.
The Republican vote this year
is a mere spurt. It is abnormal
and cannot be maintained. It,
was their last opportunity to
fool and frighten the illiterate
vote about the suffrage amend-
It was their last
golden opportunity to practice
duplicity in regard to both rail-
load and prohibition legislation.
It was their year to use the pow-
of commercialism in politics
to frighten the honest and timid
and to purchase the purchasable.
The Democratic gain this year,
great as it appears, is normal,
and will be maintained. The
Democratic party is accustomed
to cast a large vote each election,
because it has worthy measures
and men to be voted for. Not
so with the Republicans. Since
1896 thousands of Republican
have refused to vote they
had no stomach for their party.
This time they were able to sit
up and take their medicine even
in company with a large inert
of the brother-in black.
The Democrats have taken
notice and are glad to know just
what the utmost strength of
their opponents They are
for the people of North Car-
to know that they are safe
only so long as the true Demo-
remains true, true to
true to party unity and
true at the ballot box. They are

minded how easily the benefits
of white supremacy can be lost,

et the exposition
next year would serve to call
attention to the vast resources
of the South to thousands of
visitors from the middle western
and Pacific coast states. North
Carolina's fine exhibit of
co, cotton, woods, minerals and
agriculture would prove interest-
to persons who have never
visited the southern states and
would serve as an educational
feature inasmuch as it would
acquaint the people in one part
of the country with the vast
resources of another section.
The general result would be to
familiarize visitors to the 1909
exhibition with progress in all
parts of the United States.
The ex-
position commissioners for North
Carolina have been appointed
and the division of exhibits is in
of a letter from P. II.
Hanes, of Winston Salem, a
member of the commission, who
informs exposition officials that a
meeting of the North Carolina
commissioners has been called
for December 9th. at Raleigh.
Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, of

The three other contests were

There were twenty objects on
a table and every guest had to
look at the table for a minute
and then write what was on it.
There were ten bottles contain-
some kind of medicine or
flavoring and the guests had to
smell of them and guess what
each bottle contained. There
were also ten objects wrapped in
bundles and the guests had to
feel the bundles and guess the
objects that were in them.
Miss Gertrude Critcher guessing
a larger number than any one
else was awarded a box of candy.
The guests were then invited

MAKING A TIGER SIT DOWN.
Methods Used to Train the Bust For

Fifteen feet of slack rope were

and once more he failed to under-
stand. Then, says a writer in Ev-
Magazine, the order to
hoist was given, and as the men
pulled the tiger felt the collar tight-
en about neck. His head grad-
was lifted up until his fore
legs left the ground, and he pranced
on his hind paws. With the fear of
strangulation and the instinct of
self preservation, his brain became
a mental mud puddle. He boat the
air with his fore paws, whirled,
squirmed and wriggled in a
fort to get out of the collar that
clutched his throat. Every move-
of bis body brought him near-
to the Beat over which hung the
block and tackle. When he reach-
ed it assistant grabbed tail
through the bars of the cage and
pulled him toward the little stool,
while the trainer punched him
against it with the iron bar.

that Mat All together And
as the men laid their combined
weight on the rope the big cat was
hoisted until his hind legs dangled
two feet above the floor, dancing a
madman's jig. The helpless,
brute fought the useless fight
of n fish out of water. Had not the
muscles over his throat been like
solid rubber tires he would have
strangled as he curled his body into
a coil, trying to escape the weight
hung from his own neck.
With much pushing and hauling
the struggling beast finally was
landed on the seat. But the mo-
ho felt support under his feet
he leaped for the floor. He was met
by the trainer, who walloped the
sore, nose with the hick-
handle of his whip and follow-
this up by firing the burning
powder of a blank cartridge straight
into the nostril. The tiger turned
to run. but the trainer yelled,
him, And as the crew threw
their weight on the rope the beast's
head and fore legs were yanked
from the ground, and he pranced
along for a few steps with only the
claws of his hind feet touching the
boards. When the momentum of
his own body had carried him clear
of the floor he swung back,
pended in the air, more like a life-
less tiger skin than a blood filled
beast of flesh and sinew.
