THAD R. MANNING.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1903
Dr. Bassett Iiad the good taste
to resign, but Judge Peebles will con
tinue to draw his (Peebles') pay.
Let us this day give thanks for the
manifold blessings which we enjoy.
And above all let us not forget the
orphan cause and the poor whorn we
have with us always.
Du. Bassett doubtless had his
"eye on the main chance" a posi
tion in some Northern or Western
college lefore he wrote that objec
tionable and offensive article on the
negro question.
The Rev. Dr. T. F. Marr, of Char
lotte, thinks the resignation of Dr.
Basset t at this time would be a
severe blow to Trinity College. Dr.
Marr evidently thinks Dr. Bassett a
bigger man than Trinity College.
But in this opinion he will find as few
to agree with him as Dr. Bassett did
in his absurd and offensive article on
the negro question. Dr. Marr may
be honest in his convictions but lie
errs. The passing of Bassett will be
infinitely for Trinity's good.
The passing of Bassett does not so
much as leave a ripple upon the sur
face. We may as well confess it, for we
have a sneaking feeling of satisfac
tion at the result of the election in
Salisbury. Next time let the men go
to the polls and work, and let the
women stay at home and prepare
dinner, and do other things in ac
cordance with the design of Him who
created them, and the cause of tem
perance may have better luck. Ral
eigh Times.
The election in Salisbury above re
ferred towns on the dispensary ques
tion. Women attended the polling
places we are told and took the place
of the men folks in working for the
dispensary. The "wets'' won.
Du. Bassett has something to his
credit after all. He had the good
sense to resign.
Of
Prof.
course the talk about running
Bastett out of the State is
twaddle, and nobody with real gooc
1
sense navs anv attention to sue
emit, homo people are sillv bv na
ture and cannot help saving and do
ing silly things. But Mr. Bassett
ought to change his business. Char
ity ana Ihudren.
And this Mr. Bassett has had the
good sense to do at. least change
positions. No one had the right to
say that Dr. Bassett should be forced
to resign, or that he ought to be
driven from the State, but they die
have a right to say that no son o
theirs should be sent to Trinity Co
lrvy. -. - L -1 l-:- - -1 it.. intra ui

member of the faculty.
WAIT AND SEE.
If the papers that do not admire Jutle

he is nominated, whv lias not any othe
man the right to scratch the ticket for
nny reason that he deems sufficient?

Y ait until he is nominated. Then
it will be time to discuss that ques
tion. If Judge Peebles is renominated
by the Democrats he will be re-electet;
unless the Democrats have broken
away from their past customs by that
time. iInungton'Je.s.sei-er.
ait and see. In the first place we
do not believe Judge Peebles will be
nominated. If he should be his elec
tion would be doubtful if he had anv
sort of opposition. Time was whei
Democrats voted without reserye for
the party nominee. That was when
the negro was more of a political fac
tor than he is now. That day, hap
pily, has passed. The situation
is
different now. It is no longer a ques
tion of the white man against the
negro and a blind partisan submis
Bionto and acquiescence in the action
of the nominating conventions, re
gardless of whom they put up to be
voted for. The voters are going to
have more to say about the men they
vote for hereafter. Do not forget
that, please, call it independence, dis
loyalty or party treachery as you
may.
Doesn't Respect Old Age.

ONE WAY TO BE HAPPY.
One way to be happy, says tbeGas
tonia Xews, is for every man to take
his home paper. And he should not
only take it, but pay for it as well
which some people do not do. Don't
borrow it from your neighbor, but
subscribe for it in your own name
and pay the price like an honest man
and loyal citizen. Don't play the
dead-beat either on your neighbor
or the publisher. The latter can
stand it, but your neighbor does not
want to be bothered that way about
so small a matter. And yet he dis
likes to refuse. Some neople do not
stop to think how much they owe
the local paper. When you want a
favor to whom do you go? Is it to
the big city daily? No, the city paper
don't know you; but the editor of
your local paper does; and if he don't
know you, call to see him the next
time you go to town, or go up and
speak to him, for he will be glad to
see you and form your acquaintance.
If you don't take his paper subscribe
for it. If you have an item of news
give it to him, or write to him and
tell about it. He is the man who tells
of your success in life, and does you
many little favors. If you do not
h rip to support his enterprise you are
not treating him right. He will treat
you right. Be on his side. You don't
know when you will need his help.
Not only stand by his newspaper,
but stand by every legitimate enter
prise in your county as much as you
possibly can.

DEEPEST SYMPATHY FELT.
The death of young Joseph
P
Caldwell, Jr., son of Editor Caldwell,
of the Charlotte Observer, by his own
hand, is referred to in the editorial
columns of the Charlotte Evening
News in the following touching and
pathetic words:
To say that this whole community
sympathizes with Mr. J. P. Caldwell
in the great sorrow that lias come to
him and his family is to put the mat
ter in feeble phrase. The whole read
ing purlic of Nort h Carolina feels with

mm anu ior mm in mo oeaui or ins
first-born son, his namesake. And
we only wish thatwecould find word
to assure him of this profound and
universal feeling of sympathy, that
really shares his grief. It was said,
in one of Ian McLaren s books, on
the death of a young lad, popular
and well beloved, "There's but one
heart in Drumtochty, and it's sair.
There is but one heart in Charlotte
this day, and it's sore.
And 3'et there are some of us who
can enter into the inner chamber of
that grief,who have also seen a child,
born of our body, flesh of our flesh,
lying still in the last sleep. Through
the ages there rings the cry of pa
ternal jipiwi.v. "w nniuou tnati naa

Our well known druggist, W. Y. Par

cough to try it on his guarantee.
A hard cold and hacking cough may be
the means of undermining your constitu

Thanksgiving.
Elizabeth City Tar Heel. j
Thursdav. November 2Gth, 1903, !
has been designated b the President i
of theUnited States and by the Gov-j
ernor of North Carolina to be ob-
served by the people as a day of de-
vout thankfulness to our Heavenly
Father for His many blessings to-
ward us during past the year. lhere -
fore, the Tar Heel, representing a
constituency that have been blessed
in ,;basket a.id in store, joins in the
recommendation that the day above
mentioned be observed as a nouuin ;
of devout praise and thanksgiving,
and this institution, that has been
wonderfully blessed in its early exist
ence, begs for an humble seat in the
synagogue of the thankful, that it
may return its devout thanks for the
watchful Providence that has blessed
its work.
It becometh us, as a Christian peo
ple, ' who acknowledge the rule of
divine Providence, and see His hand
in all the devious ways of men, to
humble ourselves before His throne
and invoke his kind Providence over
us in the future and give thanks for
the many blessings He has bestowed
upon us.
Ingratitude is said to lie the basest
of Crimes. He is a miserable churl
who receives a favor from human
hands and does not deign to acknowl
edge it. What designation is infa
mous enough to describe h:m who re
ceives at the hands of the Great Cre
ator and Ruler of heaven and earth,
human life with its manifold bless
ings, and does not prostrate himself
in humble adoration before that Di
vine Power? It is not only the depth
of folly it is blasphemy, atheism,
recklessness, base ingratitude. And
does not God rule? And has He not
blessed us all? He that doubts the
rule of God is a madman or a fool.
He that doubts the blessing of God
to those who love and serve Him and
to all men, except those He li;'sgiven
over to the devil, is an idiot or one
who runs without reading. He has
blessed us, wonderfully, kindly, as a
people and as individuals, anil he is
a wise and a good man that knows
it. He who 'Tides upon the whirlwind
and directs the storm" has passed us
by unharmed. No tornadoes have
swept us with their desolating fury.
No great convulsions of nature have
spread desolation and panic among
us. The pestilence that walketh in
darkness has not disturbed our hap
piness, iv ars nave not come near us
Plenty has cast famine far from us
Success and prosperity have shed
their benign influence over our com
munities. We are an enterprising,
happv and well-to-do people. As in
dividuals, while some may tlrinkthey
are deserted of God, their afflictions,
if examined carefully, will be proven
to be the fruits of their own iollv
and their affliction mavbe the heroic
remedy in God's Providence, to bring
about his restoration to health, in
stead of sending him to the devil's
sanitarium to be cured by fire.
So, let us be thankful for all God's
blessings, -Let us look to Him for
care and guidance in all our steps
Let us hew to the line of all His pre
cepts, and let us, as a people and as
individuals, be law-abiding before
God and man.
HOW WE CATCH A COLD.
A eold is sometimes contracted while re
maining inactive for awhile in an uncomfort
able room or a cold ilrnff niwl lv Jer
sleep under like conditions. But most colds
are caught while sleeping too cold nt night.
Deep sleep causes sluggish circulation which
renders the system suseeptable to change of
temperature. To prevent colds, sleep under
plenty of cover. To cure colds useltydales
I'.lixir, it lessens the severity and shortens
the duration of a cold ami prevents Pneu

j j p Caldwell, Jr., the 19-year-old
, son of Mr j p Caldwell, editor of
jtJu, observer, committed suicide bv
; shooting himself through the left
; breast with a revolver, last evening
j at 0 0vi0ck.
j No vauge f"or th1 act u .uowlK Re
C(.ntv til, Vriinir man has been de-
pressed, and as far back as six weeks ;
ap:o he had said that he intended to
rawen senousn , nor uia ue seem to
intend that they should be taken se
riously. Yesterday afternoon lie was up
town until 5:30 o'clock, when he start
ed home. On his way homeward he
met a friend to whom lie bade rood
bye, saying' that he purposed tocom
rnit suicide. There was -eornethingiu
his manner that caused alarm, and
before he was allowed to pro-eed fur
ther a member of Mr. Caldwell's fam
ily was sent for and told of what had
been said. Though it was not im
agined that the young man's state
ment was based on any fixed purpose,
a kindly effort was made to change
his frame of mind, and he walked to
his home, on South Try-on str.t-t,
with his relative, a sister.
Without further discussion of his
purpose the boy walked through the
hallway, where his sisters were, and
went to his room, which is on the
second floor in the rear part of the
residence.
He closed the door. A second later
a pistol shot was fired. A sister, who
hurriedly ran to the room, found it
in darkness. She made a light, and
found her brother lying on his back
on his bed with his revolver lying by
his side. Physicians were summoned,
but the young man died before they
arrived. He had either sat on the
side of the bed or thrown himself
across it, and placed the pistol to his
breast and fired, the bullet penetra
ting the heart and causing almost
instant death.
J. P. Caldwell, Jr.. was the older
son of Mr. J. P. Caldwell, and was 19
years of age last March.. He had
spent about two years in the navy,
but was honorably discharged from
the service about a, year'ago. Since
then he has been in Charlotte most
of the time. He had several attacks
of illness, and had suffered a good
deal from melancholia.
It is needless to speak of how this j
tragedy has shocked the family of !
the boy and the entire community.
Joe Caldwell had become a familiar .
figure here, and had made many
friends. He was warm-hearted and :
brave, with many fine and likable
qualities; and the pitiful manner of
his passing evokes general regret and
sympathy. ;

Fibroid Tumors Cured.
A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor,
which baffled the skill of Boston doctors.
Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in
the following letter tells how she was
cured, after everything else failed, by
Lydia R Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
Mrs. Hayes' First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for Help :
"Dear Mks. Ptnkham: I have been tinder Boston doctors treat
ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends
up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab
domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My ap
petite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time.
"The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac
curately describe my case, so I write to you for advice." (Signed) Mrs.
E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St, (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice al
though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take
her medicine which she knew would help her'
her letter contained a mass of additional instruc
tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring
about the happy result.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Sometime ago I wrote to you describ
ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed
all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman.
" The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely
expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk
miles now.
" JLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol
lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or
female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful triaL" (Signed) Mrs.
E. F. Hayf.j 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony or take
the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes.
Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing
evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all
ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis
placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let
ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt.
Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters
which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness.
Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too
great for her to take in return for her health and happiness.
Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine ; don't for
get this when some druarsrist, wan fa to soil you oomotking cioo.
