The Demcratic Doctrine, Iron, i lie >ai ional l><-mo<ru lie I*lnt 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. fContinued next week] 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. Powdef: The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.— No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes —40 Years the Standard. 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 (rod. Jiespectfully submitted, T. B. Sandefek, T. P. Bell, W. P. White, Committee. And we offer the following resolution: Resolved, That to the sisters of our deceased brothel, Charles Hale, we ex tend our sincere and tenderest sympathy in this their great bereavement, and that the Secretary be and is hereby instructed to furnish the sisters of the deceased a copy of the proceedings of this Zodge containing this report and resolutions.
