suffered during those five years. I no use telling. Nobody would me if <lb/>
I did. I tried every medicine that was advertised to cure It, I spent money <lb/>
enough to a house. I heard JOHNSTON S SARSAPARILLA highly <lb/>

committees the <lb/>

even to Washington during <lb/>
session of Congress, to make a <lb/>
bluff of doing the work which was <lb/>
performed by two assistants. <lb/>
Another method of <lb/>

administration is connected with <lb/>
the enormous expenses piled up by <lb/>
of departmental <lb/>
For instance, <lb/>
for the Bureau of Animal <lb/>
Industry of the Department of <lb/>
Agriculture, it provided for <lb/>
chief at a year, one clerk at <lb/>
and twenty inspectors <lb/>
a day. The expenses of <lb/>
that bureau during the last fiscal <lb/>
year, as by the official <lb/>
figures, have grown to nearly a <lb/>
million dollars, as Salaries <lb/>

Has not the lime arrived when <lb/>
a newspaper of an individual may <lb/>
speak what he believes to be <lb/>
truth without being prescribed, <lb/>
and forced into silence The time <lb/>
was, perhaps, when the exigencies <lb/>
of the times demanded that a man <lb/>
should not say what his heart <lb/>
he believed. But we thought that <lb/>
day had passed. It would be a <lb/>
indeed if public sentiment <lb/>
were so changed as to tolerate the <lb/>
plain unvarnished truth, spoken lo <lb/>

at this office that are <lb/>

larger freedom which we have <lb/>
They must not follow <lb/>
but lead the way. editor who <lb/>
will ill.- bis conscience and be <lb/>
driven silence by politician or <lb/>
priest, is a craven coward, and <lb/>
unworthy of his calling. Not <lb/>
that liberty should become license, <lb/>
or that a paper should because it <lb/>
can, betray and oppose the <lb/>
it pretended to Nut <lb/>
But we arc speaking of mat- <lb/>
of moral issues- <lb/>
question or right wrong. The <lb/>
newspaper that will condone a <lb/>
crime because it was committed by <lb/>
its party, is not worthy to enter <lb/>
the home of any citizen. We <lb/>
not believe in the so called <lb/>
paper either politics <lb/>
or religion; but neither do we be <lb/>

We absolutely need education to- <lb/>

can spend our thousands, our mil- <lb/>

It is offensive to honest <lb/>

the class who will not unless <lb/>

That is certainly so. I here is a <lb/>

longing which is hugely <lb/>
for taxation. No law I hat <lb/>
places taxable property on the tax <lb/>

objected to. The trouble with the <lb/>
North Carolina taxing law is <lb/>
so much properly escapes I lie tax- <lb/>
