officially announced that Mr. Me1\
in Icy unci Secretary Koot have |
decided that the number of enlisted
men in the regular army '
shall b" limited to Tff.OdU, unless 1
there is a fresh outbreak in the J
Philippines. That was to bain- ,
boozle the public, and will make 1
small difference for a long time, a- <
tin* slowness in recruiting made it '
certain that it would take many ^
months to enlist ill the men j
authorized by the new army law. <
Accompanying tile announcement '
was the statement that all the of- '
tieers provided for by law would ^
bo app tinted. That was to save ,
the pitronage over which there t
has b/en so much scrambling. If
there are more officers than there *
is work for them there are always
nice little details, in Washington j
and elsewhere, to which those with t

Gov. Allen E. Candler says he J
will probably in his message to i
the State Legislntm e next < )etoher t
recommend the disfranchisement >
of the ignorant negro in Georgia. 1
Ho says: J
"I think it would he well for
Georgia to follow the example set
by Alabama, Mississippi and Noi th
Carolina and revise the constitution.
One reason we need a
change is that the present eoiisti- 1
tntion is a very tiarrow-guaged in- ?
strnment from beginning to end, I
and it needs going over thorough

present 11 hampers entcrprisi s '
Another reason why a change '
should be made is that we want to *"

Doubtless William .1. Bryan did v
not have -John L. McLauriii in
luiud when he wrote for the our- |
rent issue of The Commoner ihe i
editorial which follows, hut never- 1
theless it tits t lie ease presented hy '
the oourso of the junior Senator !
from South Carolina, says The ,
State: i
"A reader of The Commoner has '
asked whether a representative r
should give expression to his own '
convict n ns or he Lfoverned hv the 1
wishes of his const il uents. Then* v
are two theories on the subject. '
The first is that the people think '
f,?. ?i..........i i i ? - ? ;
v/1 Mil Iiinnitrn mill 1st I CI I'rprt'- 1
noutatives P? j^ive legislative effect '
In their wishes; the other thcnrs !"
i i that the people are incapable of I
thinking for thcmselves and choose I
representatives to do the thinking 1
for the rest of the people. >
"The former is the Democratic 1
theory. Tlieio is more intel ivjence '
ttmi integrity amonjj the people '
than ever finds expression through '
re present.at in s. Toe faet t hat eon- '
stiiiitions nre referreil to the poo r
pie for adopti"ii s evidence of f his. h
as is also the fact that the voting *
of bonds, the selection of county J
seats, and other important matt, is '
are usually decided 1 >y popular '
Vote. The fact that platforms are !
adopted |>y party conventions is 1
conclusive proof that the voters '
have a riijht to know tliecaudidat *s '
views h -fore they vote for him.
"Accepting this theory to he the '
correet one. it follows that a repre- '
senta'.ive Ins no moral ri^ht to '
misrepresent his cons*ituents. I'p- *

tiou the representative is in duty

principles applied by the platform
to other questions. If the coiis
ituents change their views they
cannot wit i propriety demand that

"The sen nil theory, namely,

?ne, rests upon the assumption
lint the voters are not competent
o think out and decide the tjuosions
which corieern their own

his theory to the doctrine that
lie pei pie should not be allowed
o vote. J
'"It is important that the representative
himself should have a J

Ivlitor Timffi: J fife in your j
paper of the 10th ultimo u lettei
from my fri*?ntl Hoy. Now, in
( old Hill, it is customary when
one jumps the fence for the rest to
follow, like sheep. W e are a little
jealous, and are afraid that Hoy
and others will get ahead of us.
Wo want our name in the paper,
too: hence this letter.
Hoy in right when he pays there
are "crack"'farmers in Gold Hill,
hut we have had rain since Hoy's
letter was written and the "mack"
farmers have been idle recently.
We live in hopes, liowevt r. regardless
of wind and rain. We were
aware that Gold Hill could boast
of a great many things, but were
somewhat surprised to learn that
there is a "crack" potato farmer in .
this community, vdio hopes to
raise 1(H) bushels of po aloes to;
eve:y halo of cotton that a certain
neighbor makes. To this potato
farmer I would like to say that a j
North Carolinian lias invented n|
machine which he could use very (
proiitahly, and tha' he can loam '
more about the machine upon in- |
qui rv.
With the except ion of Mr. Thos.
Mcrritt, the health of th s community
is v? ry >40. d at present. Mr.
Mcrritt lias been eontincd to his
l?d more or l-ss during the past
ei?;ht months.
Mr. S. (.'. Kalis' mules ran away
witli his wii^on one day last week,
but foitunately no harm was done.

The New Pension L'st.
The State pension board has at

reduce tlie number of names on
I lie lists. One source of the relllflion
iu fmmrl in ll,.? fn/O ilmt
tin* new pension law only allows
pensions to widows of soldiers aelually
killed in the .service, and
widows who have reached the n^e
f (?o years. This statement shows

Northern Presbyteilans Will Change
their Confession of Faith.
A Hub-committee of the commit-!
tee on revision of the creed appointed
by the Presbyterian general
assembly met in Pittsburg.
Pa , Friday to tabulate the results
of the Presbyteries on creed revision,
and to formulate a report to
be presented to the general assem- !
bly in May.
The committee decided upon
two important features of the plan
for revision, which will be presented
to the general assembly. Thes-?
features are as follows and are '
most urgently demanded by the
Presbyteries:
1. A new statement of doctr'ne
to be issued as a supplement to
t lie eonfessi- n of f.".i t h.
2 A revision of the confession
itsi If. either by tlm addition of a
declaratory paragraph or a change
in the text.
The committee's report says tlint
the jeturns from tho Presbyteries
indicate that the church desires
some change in its eredal state- 1
incut, and that "it is in the mind
of the church that the confession
shall be interpreted throughout,
in harmony with tho teaching of
rvnpiure, that i*??<I in noi willing
that anyone should peiiah, nor is
it the decree of (Jed, 1 >111 tin- wick
