The Demcratic Doctrine,

torm Adopted At Chicago .1 mie
22nd, 1892.
“We denounce the /Apublican legiala
lion known as the Sherman act of 1890 as
a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possis
bilities of danger in the future, which
should make ail of its suppoiters, as well
as its author anxious for its speedy repeal.
We hold to the use of both noth gold and
silver as the standard money of the coun
tiy, and to the coinage of both gold and
silver without discrimiuationg against ei
ther metal or charge for mintage, but the
dollar unit ol coinage of both metals must
be equal intrinsic and exchangeable value,
or be adjusted through international agree'
lnent or by such safeguards of legislation
as shall insure the maintenance of the pari
ty of the two metals and the equal power
of every dollar at all times in the market
and in the payment of debts; and we de
mand that all paper currency shall be kept
at par with and redeemable : n atcli coin.
We insist upon this as especially necessary
for the protection of the farmers and la
boring classes, the first and most defense
less victims of unstable money and a fluc
tuating currency.
TIIE POPULISTS’ DRIFT.
It can be readily sten that, the
populists are rapidly drifting from
the platform on which they made
the race lasi November. And it
can as easily be seen that they are
drifting steadily towards democ
racy. In fact, many of them now
claim to be as good democrats as
anybody, from a Jeffersonian stand
point. Tom Watson, their leader,
in his speeches all over the land
has dropped everything in their
platform but the financial question,
and, from what we can gathgr from
the reports of his speeches, his ar
guments on the monetary questions
are such as every bimetal or tree
silver democrat in the land will
agree to, He makes his wonderful
speeches from democratic stand
points, and then every democrat
that endorse it he and his followers
claim as converts to the third party
ranks
They well know and acknowledge
that their load cf government own
ership of railroads, telegraph lines,
etc., and many other demands were
too heavy and all have been aban*-
doned, and in their stead are or
ganizing democratic measures in
order to gain members. The pop
ulism, as they started out last fall,
are dead beyond resurrection, but
the populists on the democratic
platform, of course, will stand for
all time.
Watch them, read their speeches
and hear their every day talk and
see if we are not r'ght.
What do the the starving thou
sands care for the long spread
eagle speeches that are r.ow being
delivered in congress? They need
relief and want it speedily.
balk again.
We returned on Friday from our
trip to the World’s Fair, but to un
dertake to give our readers any thing
like a descriptive idea of what we
saw is out of the question. It i®
hardly possible to convey to other
minds the magnitude and grandeur
of tils huildii gs to say nothing of
the thousands, of ether exhibits that
no man can describe. Think of a
paik containing near a thousand
acres aod every foot of that vast
area being covered with buildings
between which stand the most beau
tiful lakes imaginable. The buil
dings are the most magnificent ever
erected, the largest, used lor the
Manufactures and Liberal
Arts covers 30 5 acres,
and its cost of erection $1,500,(XX).
It is the largest exposition building
ever erected. Within it the general
exhibits of manufactured goods are
displayed, placed upon the main
floor and galeries. The exterior of
the building is covered with ‘staff,”
made to represent marble, and has
eleborate ornamentations. The
main root of iron and glass
rises 15)) feet above the ground,
There are four grand entrances de
signed as a trumplml arches, each
forty feet wide and eighty feet high,
each surrounded by sulpt.ure (agles
eighteen feet high. The whole ef
fect of this building is a structure
of magnificent proportions, a long
array of colondes and arches,
Tiie other buildings which ure too
numerous to mention are not so
large hut equally as giund and im
posing and contain specimens of
everything imaginable, from every
corner of the woild. Nearly every
state and territory in the Union
have buildings of their own where
is shown the products of their soil,
forests and mines, while in privates
apartments in various parts of the
grounds are shown small villages
representing the people and tbe cus
toms at their home of the various
nations and tribes of the world, all
of which is very interesting to the
student of nature.
One of the grandest, yea, the
grandest of a.l to be seen on the
grounds, is the Ferris wheel. It is
a gigantic iron wheel standing 258
feet high, to which is attached 36
cars, similar to an ordinary street
car, that hold sixty people each. It
requires two 1000 horse power en
gines to turn if. With my two
boys I took a ride twice around ihe
wonderful structure The effect is
grand in the extreme and a feeling of
ethereal rapture is experienced as
you reach the dizzy hieghts. It is
certainly one of the world’swonders
and when Mr. Ferris, a young civil
engineer, proposed to build it the
leading engineers and architects
of the world denied that such a gi
gantic machine could be erected
and put in operation. But it was
built and is turning every day and
I have had the pleasure of a
ride ever it. I cannot tfll it all.
The fair is too big to comprehend
without seein g it. If you can
spare the money go and see it and
you will never regret it it. Fifty
dollars will pay vour expenses for
a tei days trip. D. J. T. "
A WAR STORY.
(by a butts county soldier. )
CHAPTER II
I remained at 1 ome for some two
or three months with my parents
and friends, and spending a part of
the time with the girls, although I
was only in my seventeenth year.
I had been to the war and was no
longer a sbinplaster. But as soon
as I had regained my health the
call was still being made for volun
teers, and I again enlisted in a
company that was being made up,
and was elected fifth sergeant.
When I got my new uniform with
stripes on my sleeves that showed
my rank, I felt like I surely was a
man.
We spent some time in camp at
the lamous watering place, Indian
Springs, Ga. The time was spent
in drilling, fighting sham battles
and doing picket duty as though
the enemy was near by, 'Veil do I
rememember and never will [ for
get one of those sham battles. All
the people of the village and the
surrounding country had corns to
our camps to see it, and my best
girl was there and of course as I
bad been in regular service I bad
the advantage of the res* of the
boys; but I was not as smart as I
thought I was We were well sup
plied wnh blank cartridges. When
the line of battle was formed, the
command was given by the captain
to make ready, take aim, fije and
continue to fire. B} some means
my gun did not fire, but amidst the
clatter of arms and the yell of the
boys and the cheering of the specta
tors I did not know it and I ccn
tinued to load, as I thought, to fire,
until I had my gun hall full of ihe
blank cartridge?, when at last it
fired, and alas, the bat,tie was over,
for I was the first man the hoys had
ever seen fall in battle. I was pit k>.d
up some thirty yards in trie rear of
where I was standing, more dead
titan alive. They were ail brave
and good hoys and came to my as'
sistante and wanted to know where
I was wounded a f . I told them
that my right shoulder and nose
wtre gone and that I would surely
die; but I wanted to tee Fanny, my
girl, and tell her good-bye. Slit*
was soou by my bide, with her ten'
der hand upon my brow, and tbe
soo.hing words that fell from hei
lips healed the wound and I was
soon ready for duty again.
We remained in camps a lew
days then received orders to go to
Gr ffin to go into camps at Camp
Stevens, hut we did not have to
march through mud as we did in
after days, lor wagons and buggies
were brought into service and we
all had a nice time going to Camp
Stevens, where we met with nine
other companies lrom different
parts of the state, winch afterwards
compost and ti.e 45. ii Georgia, with
756 as brave men as ever enlisted in
the war. We remained in camp
oue month awaiting orders. During
that time 1 got a three days'' fur
lough to go to see my girl and bid
her good bye for a long time.
A t last orders came to us to cook
up three days’ rations and be ready
for marching at a minute’s warning.
The following morning we bid adieu
to old Camp Stevens and st rt"U no
one knew where. Some said we were
going to Savannah, Ga.; some said to
Richmond, Va., and some said to
Vicksburg, Miss, Wo marched on to
town and there the iron horse awaited
us. The command was given, “All
aboard!" and the next day we were
in camps at Gohisiuirgh, A. C., and
there we spent one month drilling,
standing pickets, etc —the sotorth \\ n>
hearing false alarms. Someone
would come into camp at break-neck
speed and say the yankees were com
ing, and the command would be to
fall into lim*. O: course it was a1!
done to see . bat etlect it would have
on the boys, but as I had been at
Yorktown I was accustomed to lal>e
alarms.
Now, Mr, Editor, don't think that
I am going to let this run into a love
story, for such is not my intention;
but as! always was a great admirer
of the fair .-es I caiuiot matte my ups
and downs complete without men
tioning some of them.
We had only been in camps a few
days when I formed th ’ acquaintance
of one of North Carolina’s fairest
maidens, and I spent a pa it of my
time at her house, At last one day I
got a pass for three hours to pay her
a visit, hut of course I did not teli the
c plain where I was going, lor he
would have wanted to go too, and
while I was absent they got orders to
move and when I returned to camp
they were all gone aud no one could
tell me where, but soon after I learned
they had taken the train for Rich
mond, Va, I followed on the next
train and overtook them as they were
going it 1 camps at Guinna station, it!
northwest Virginia. So you see I
acted as rear guard on that trip, and
all it eost me was a suarp reprimand
from the captain for staying out three
days on a three hours’ pass.

A SWINDLING SCHEME.
Wells & Cos., of Winston, N. C.,
hare devised a little scheme, by
which they are raking in the shekels
all over the country. It is this:
They send a few boxes of cigars to
the most reliable merchants in each
town, which are accompanied with
no bill or instructions whatever.
These merchants very naturally con
clude that they were sout only as sam
ples and act acoordindlgy, by test
ing their merits among their custo
mers. Time rolls on, and finally a
hill rolls in for your remittance at
once. You refuse to remit, of course,
and then your bill is placed in the
hands of a collecting agency, whe
notify you if you do not settle at once
they will obtain judgment against
you and also expose you to the com
mercial world. The account being
small, and you wishi-ig to avoid
trouble, send in your little cash and
balance accounts. Two of Jackson’s
merchants are victims, and their
swindling scheme should by all means
be exposed.

IN MEMORIAM.
To the Worshipful Master, Wardens
and JJretfucn of Patillo Lodge , A T o.
360, /•'. A . M. :
lour committee on memorials beg
.eave to submit the following report, with
inference to our departed brother, Charles
Ilale, who lias closed his earthly pilgrim
age. aud now rests from his labors:
Human language may be exhausted in
enumerating and describing the character
and virtu res of the dead, but without
profit to thorn —the film of death shuts off
the vision—the ear no longer catches the
words of ei i deism or praise—the proud,
God-like intellect, is alike insensible to
pain oi pleasure
Death is a lesson to the living only, and
from the sepulchral homes of the dead
to-day, and sounding along the corridors
of time, there comes to each one of this
day, along death’s muffled telephone, this
solemn message: “Be ye also ready, for in
such an hour ti> ye think not, the Son of
.Van cometh.”
Brother Charles A. Hale was hi in July,
1859, and died the 17th day of July, 1893’
Asa citizen, he was not only law abiding;
but living as far as possible in peace with
all men, but his citizenship <jid not com
sist alone in paying tribute to Ciesar, aud
receiving in return thereof protection to
life and property, but it consisted further
in the hearty espousal of every clusc and
effo:t made to elevate and bless his race.
Peacefully and calmly he laid down the
gavel of human effort aud the trowel of
human endeavor, and with the compass to
guide him, the square to protect him aud
’he Ilolv Scriptures to save, lie put aside
the curtains which hide the present from
the future, and as their folds closed behind
his stop, to earthly things, our brother was
dead.
Eastern travelers declare that in the
Baltic Sea where the winds blow from a
certain quarter of the compass, the waters
for a moment move from the shore and
disclose 'o view the remains of a beauti
ful city which sleeps beneath the billows*
As we stand upon the holders of time aud
look fonvaid with eagerness to the illim-
itable which covers from sight the form of
Bro. Charles 11a le, we invoke, in the
music of B\ o. Robert Morris’ sweet words,
die tender breezes to drive away the
waves of oblivion which oftimes covers
human genius, and in spirit jf not in flesh,
shall always behold him when with pathos
we remember what we must have felt as
he tenderly told hi? brethren of the mystic
lie that.
JFe meet iq o i the Level, aud we part,
up m the Square,
What words sublimely beautiful those
words Masonic are,
They- fall like strains ot melody upon the
listening ears,
Ms they’ve sounded hallelujahs to the
world three thousand years.
We meeß upon the Level, though from
every station brought,
The Monarch from Ids palace and the
Laborer from his cot;
For the king must drop his dignity when
knocking at our door,
And the Laborer is his equal as he walks
the checkered Door.
We act upon the Plumb—’lis our Master’s
great command,
We stand upright in virtue’s way and lean
to neither hand*
The all-seeing eye that reads the heart will
bear us wstnesstrue,
That we do always honor God and give
each man his due.
We part upon the Square, tor the world
must have its due,
We mingle in the ranks of men, but keep
the Secret true,
And the influence of our gatherings in
memory is green,
And we long, upon the Level, to remem
ber the happy sceno,
There’s a world where all are equal, we
are hurrying toward it fast,
IFe shall meet upon the level there when
the gates of death are past,
We shall stand upon the orient and our
3/aster will be there
Our works to try, oqr lives to prove by
Ilis unerring Square.
We shall meet upon the Level there, but
never thence depart,
There’s a mansion bright and glorious,
set for tire pure in heart,
And an everlasting welcome from the
host rejoiems: there,
Who in this world of sloth and sin, did
part upon the Square.
Let us meet upon the Level, then, while
laboring patient here,
Let us meet and let us labor, tho’ the lator
be severe,
Already in the western sky the sign bids
us prepare
To gather up our working tools and part
upou the /Square.
Hands ’round, ye royal craftsmen m the
bright fraternal chain,
We part upon lhe yiare below to meet
in Heaven again,
Each tie that has been broken here shall
be cemented there,
And none be lost around the Tar me who
parted on the /Square .
But, brethren, white we have cause for
mourning, we also have great cause f>r
rejoicing and devout thanksgiving. A
good Providence lias preserved our pres
ent officers to us. They have been spared
to us and to their families, and ii is cer
tainly cause for deep contrition, humilia
tion and gratitude on the part of this
Zodge. A/ay this merciful providence
and care be an holy unction upon our
Worshipful Master and his subordinates,
ancl make them a great blessing to the
craft. And, lastly, loosing through the
shadows that the death of a brother be
loved brings to his home and to our
hearts, may we see aud cling to the tiuth
that lies like a sparkling jewel embedded
in the expression, “there is hope of a tree
it' it be cut down, that it will sprout again
and the tender branches thertof shoot
again,” and like the perfect man of the
iand ol E r/,, when the end shall come to
each of us, we may be able to say,
“Though after my skin worms shall de
stroy tbi s body, yet in my flesh shall I see

And we offer the following resolution:
Resolved, That to the sisters of our
deceased brothel, Charles Hale, we ex
