A Reptile Held in Check by a Cat. @@ o@ HELLO! Central > 4> aan Give me “OSE.” Saturday afternoon a huge snake_ of the water mocecasin species and 4 fect long, was seen crawling about the back door of Mr. Allen Warren’s 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 with “Bless that old cat.” Base Ball, The following games were played Saturday : Baltimore—Washington, 4; Baltil more, 6.

(Special Correspondence to Reflecvor.) Raveiau, N. C. June 27th, 1896. 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 trains the city were crowded to overflowing with enthusias- tic delegates and jolly, good-natured vis- itors. coming into 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 benefitted. can grin and bear it. Just so long as the present state of affairs in regard to our national system of finance exist there will be heart- burnings and bickerings in our house- hold, and insubordination and perhaps mutiny ! Decide the money question and let us submit it to in our camp. lot box. by the mongrel legislature of two years pends on his own to carry our banner to triumph in the coming campaign. R. W. J.

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 that it sue. 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.

We call upon the good people of Pitt to rally to tue support of these men and gemmence at once to work for their dection.

We would suggest. that a organization be commenced at once and no. effort re- leased until this ticket’ is triumphantly elected next November. cciamiaiiel — noe NORTH CAROLINA. FOR SILVER. seater Platform Adcpted by the Democratic State Convention. Whereas the Democratic party had its birth in Mr. Jefferson’s great contest against the centralization of the powers of the Federal Government, and in be- half of the strict construction of the Federal’ 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, “We 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 continuance of ‘the. by the Democratic party, and pledge ourselves to its increased efficiency as the condition of the people and ‘public revenues may justify. ~ 14, We favor the prompt, and just administration of the criminal law of the Stats, and point with pride to the fact that « Democratic legislature first enacted a law against lynching, and that the faithful execution of the virtually suppressed that im partial Baume has crime in the State. We cordially mvite all men, regard- less of tormer political associations, to unite with us, ina fight to the fivish for free silver, for low taxes, for higher prices for agrieultural products, for the economical administration of govern- ment, and for the freedom and individ- ual sovereignty of the American citizen. We declare our belief that the peace prosperity and happiness of the people of North Carolina depend on the defeat of the Republican State ticket ia the coming election. wa 295 ~ pepec entice tne doe raraemeeranne ey Farmers Who Helped Themselves.

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. “Old Glory” bos a perpetual life; that is, the “Old 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 “Old 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.
