There is now a noticible feeling of hopefulness prevalent among the Ropublieau senators and members 0f the Honse of Representatives that has not been observed before siuce the Democratic victory of 1910. H is everywhere admitted that the platform to be adopted at the Chicago convention next month Will be thoroughly progressive yet oousenatively progressive, and trill be such a one as will appeal to the business men of the country aod that tbe Republican nominee oo that platform will receive the full Republican vote, East, 'West, Rorth aud South. It will be recalled that in 1872 the Republican party was also se riously divided and it was feared that tbe national ticket would be defeated, so serious was the split before the Rational convention, hot the Republican party is fortu nate in that while it often fights hard within itself before the con vention, yet after the national ticket is nominated all hands as a rale get together and pull hard for the election as they did in 1872 and it is believed this will be the case in 1912. Furthermore, the Republicans have muck to feel encouraged over on account of the situation which confronts the Democratic camp. It has gradually leahed out why William R. Hearst, who is some times a Democrat and sometimes a bolter, is at the present time - so vigorously supporting Speaker Clark for the Democratic nomina tion, The reason is that Clark is a Western man, and if nominated the Democrats of course will pick “an Eastern man” to run with him, ond Mr. Hearrt IfellevcA that, 'lIewiilbethat Eastern maD,” and if he is not, those who know him believe that he will bolt the ticket because he is not apt to sup port any ticket unless it offers something for “ Willie Hearst.” In view of the great Hearst wealth of $50,000,000 and his string of powerful newspapers, he is enabled to make an effective hght to secute the Democratic no mination for Mr. Clark. TheRepublican leaders believe that it will be comparatively easy to defeat the Democrats this fall if Speaker Clark is nominated. In the first place he has been a most prolific talker and haB said many indiscreet things. His break a- hout "reciprocity with Canada loading to annexation,” was the caaSe of the Canadian defeat of the reciprocity treaty. He has also ®d bitter things about Grover ciWeiand and his followers. Sev- etaI Htae8 in his speech making careCr he has threatened to “ cut 80Uiebody’s throat,” and otherwise taatIe a record that ;wpuld defeat ®° Il will be readily' seen aI Ille Republicans have a great .,8aIto I*6110Peful for, and while eJ havetheir bitter fights yet 6 democratic camp is also in an aPpy position.—Portsmouth (O.) blade. .'

But the explanation is very simple. The policy doesn’t hurt the cotton buy er. On the contrary, it frequent ly helps him. This happens in this way: .When a bale of damag ed cotton is offered for sale, the buyer always figures on deducting enough to make good the loss .of the damaged portion, and to pro tect himself he usually figures on about twice the damage that Js really apparent. For instance Sjf the buyer believes there is five pounds damage on a bale, he fig ures on reducing the price suffic iently to coyer a loss of ten pounds if the damage is, say 20 pounds, he makes an estimate allowing 40 or 50 pounds. Mr. C. C Moore told us recently of one buyer who said he had made $20,000 in i single season by profiting on weath er damaged. No, Sir, Mr. GottonMaaufactnr er is no fool. He doesn’t need to pay 10 cents a pound for moisture that the Almighty furnishes as free as the air—and he isn’t going to do it. Mr. Mannfactnrer never pays you a cent for such water J- and never will; and yon are only fooling yonrself and cheating your self when, you pretend that he does. If you have money to throw a way, money that neither you, ypur wife nor ehiidren have any use for, perhaps you may think it all right to let yonr cotton values rot on the ground. But other wise, the -one big fact to keep always in mind is just this: For every one dollar you gain in weight yon will lose five dollars in grade. rag vs. CornDodger AshevfileGazetteNews. It has come to oar knowledge that at least two men in this town alleged Southerners, or near-Soji- therners, are engaged in promul gating the prenicions dictum that a corn dumpling is a corn dodger. This information, we are con strained to view with unmixed a- Iarm. With such heresies stalking thus boldly forth, whether on ac count of ignorance or impelled by some sinister motive, we do not know what Js to become of this country, and it is perhaps just as well that we do not. - A tern dumpling is the result ant of a gom o f corn meal dough being suspended in potlicker dur ing the formation of the potlicker from its constituents which should include sallet, a chunk of jowl and water. The corn dumpling occu pies its own place of dignity and importance in the universal scheme and said scheme would be defec tive without it, but that it should be confounded with the corn dod> ger is intolerable. The latter has nothing to do with sallet or potlicker. It is properly ovoid in form, with a substantial brownish crust and a dry consis tent goodness within. The corn dodger was one of the most impor tant facts of the old South, and on it the new South was built. It is the diet for Herculean labors. As a fuel for the machine to roll logs, dig ditches, raise houses, split rails and wield a scytbi it is not surpassed if indeed equaled. Com pared to it, the corn dumpling. Bins to the comparative insignifi cance of a luxury. It is to com-, par^ahenvpire building fpod to* a mere epicurean relish.

StateBville, May 17.—‘How would yon like to find yourself chewing human flesh? Well that is the ex perience of M r.'J. A. Rogers, an employ in the factory of the States ville Safe & Table Co., who has for good reasons “sworn off” on chew; ing tobacco. Mr, rogero had just bit off a “chew’’ from a plug of a popular brand of chewing tobacco, when he noticed something in the tobacco resembling bone. And one may imagine his feelings -and in dignation When ou f-IoSei examin ation he discovered the portion of a human finger in the ping of to bacco. Qfcourse the finger wat mashed aud dried, but it was a finger all right, cut off between the second and third joints, It is now on exhibition at the factory and those who have seen it say they can now easily quit chewing the weed. It is assumed that an ope ra tor'in the factory where the to bacco was manufactured had the misfortune to get bis finger cangbt in cbe tobacco mould and didn’t take time to stop the machine to get'bte finger out. At any, rate the portion of a finger has Shown up in a plug of the' tobacco, and at; least obe man Won’t be chewing any more tobacco. ^LostandFound.'

Thditfem pt has been, made in the Hqufe of Representatives to side track jhe parcels post plan by a bill fixjngvexpress rates. The bill makes a great reduction in express rates onjpaekages weighing less than ele ven pounds, and provision is- made for the ecxhahge ofbusiness between th^ express companies and the rural mail service. Thissubstitute will not satisfy the dehiand for the parcels post service, which bas -now become insistent. In former years the express companies ware strong enough to defeat all at- teippts.at the creation of a parcels post service by their silent influence No-W it seems they find the situation such asjto make it expedient to of- fer S substitute. Thishas been for tified by arraying the country mer- chants jkgainst this great public con venience. There are many large sections of the country which the express companies do not reach, and those are the very sections where transportation facilities are most es sential, ‘ Tbe absence of proper transpor tation facilities for small packages is causing great distress in this coun try to the producer and the consum er. - The express service is insuffi cient; the companies are inefficient, careless and arrogant. The railroad companies do. not seem to care for the 'transportation of packages and and: the express rates, are in many caste prohibitory. The Inter-State Commerce Commission received - re ports of .2,9$8 overcharges by a sin gle company in a single day. Com missioner Lane, of the Commerce Commission, estimated that 10,000 protests against overcharges had been made; .Collecting freight on prej|iai(^^(^^^jhte.;pp|. begin um the! overcharges has taken more time than the amount of money in volved was worth. Ifj all these things have been done Whte the charges,* were excessive, what guaranty is there that the ser vice will improve after the rates have been reduced? In every civil ized country except the United Siafes.the transportation and deli very of small packages is undertaken by the Governments at very low rates, and it is foundto be profitable. The tremendous political influence of the express companies has here tofore been powerful enough to de ny to the people of this country the convenience Which the people of other countries enjoy. How long will this continue? New Bern. Sun very correctly says:'“ Any newspaper has a perfect right to support any man it desires to for any position, but it should not try to break down the opposition by lies and misrepresentation.” And by the same token no candidate should try to break down an opposing news paper by lies and misrepresentation. i A Good one Hard to Find. “I’ll get a good one yet, even if I have to marry as many more,” This was the defiant declaration' of Mrs. Jennie Schewere, twenty-eight years Old when committed to prison for a year on a charge of bigamy at Al lentdwr, Pa. The young woman is alleged to have fen husbands living. It is also alleged .that she has never resorted to the formality of divorce. When arraigned she pleaded not guilty, boldly declaring-that she had never been married at all. Records were then produced to show she had been married at least; three times in this country. Detectives stated that they had located eight-men to whom the woman had bfeeri married. . Do Ypur Dufy and a Little More. : Mr. Andrew Carnegie, in a recent, address before a graduating class in New York, gave.some excellent ad vice to the young men on how to at tain success in life. Among .other things, he said: ‘ ‘There are several classes qfyoung men Therearethosewho do riot do all .their duty, there are those who profess to do their duty and there is a third class, far better than the other two, that do their duty and a little more. “There sre many great pianists, but Paderewski is at the head be cause he does a little more than the others. There are hundreds of race horses, bujt it is those who go a few seconds faster than the others that acquire renown. So it is in the sail ing of yachts. It is the little more that wins. So it is with the young and old men who do a little more than their duty. “No one can’t cheat a young man out of success in life. You young lads have begun well, Keep on. Don’t bother about the future. Do your duty and a little more, and the future wilHake care of itself.—Ex." If a freak garment shocks a wom an, she’ll wear it sooner or later.

Apd nil that put me to think ing. ■ Some of tbese things are use ful and necessary, no doubt, but it was the hair business and the fat business that took my time. Miss Primp has straight: hair and-wants it curly, while Miss Eeggy has cuily hair and wants it Straight. Always crazy for some thing they ain’t got, and just as soon as they get it they want to swap it for something else. Miss Longshanks wants to be fat and euffy, while Miss Bunty would give a war-pension to be tall, slim and graceful. And if they could both be transformed in to what they want to be, they would immediately wane to be changed back. Which proves that we are all a set of - blamed idiots and don’t know what we want. .

The weather is getting too warm to talk politics, besides, there is no money and but little honor in the business._____________ Who wants to represent Davie in the Legislative halls this time? Is he in favor of a dog law and good roads? If not, swat him. To a man up a tree it doesn’t ap pear that there is much harmony floating over either the Democratic or Republican camp just at present. Lest some of our friends should overlook the matter, we wish to re mark that they ought to do their Christmas shopping early this year. Davie county is waking up on the good roads question. It is only a matter of time until we will have good roads throughout this entire section. The little town of Taylorsville has just organized a building and loan association. No reason why Mocks- ville shouldn’t organize such an as sociation.iifi ji — The editor is kept busy these days answering questions about who is the stingiest man in town, and in trying to keep the crab grass1 chop ped out of his corn patch. Taft, Roesevelt, Clark, Wilson, Underwood and Bryan ajj claim that they are going to be President. With ail that bunch in the White House, a warm time could be expected. The Lexington Dispatch and The News and Observer, two of the big Democratic papers in this State, are holding a Iove-feast these days. They are afflicted with Underwoodrow- wilsonism. It don’t pay to mix drinks, brethren. Mocksville is coming to the front. Two new brick stores, a free library and a good sand-clay road to Rowan are things that every citizen of the town should be proud of. Other things we need are: More factor ies, a building and loan association, morning train to Charlotte and a W1 R Craig. About eight hundred of our sub scribers are gently reminded that the paper companies and ink factor ies are still charging us for our pa per and ink. Our bills have to be met and we depend on our subscrib ers to help us meet them. A half dollar from each of our friends who are behind with their subscription, would be doubly appreciated just at this time. Call and see us, or send the money by mail. We are glad that our farmers are getting well up with their work. A good crop of wheat will be harvest ed this month, and corn and cotton is looking fairly well. Prospects are much brighter for the farmer than they were a short while ago. The fruit crop promises to be the largest for many yeare, and the blackberry briars are groaning under their heavy burden. Let’s forget politics an! enjoy the rich blessings which Ure bestowed upon us daily. - — . " V T ,3 .. - ■ Robert Page has been renomina ted for Congress in this district by the Democrats.

C., has written the Charlotte Observer that bachelors should be tagged. The proposition is to place a but ton, badge, small tin pan or some other instrument of indentification on the person of each bachelor, so that he may be detected at a dis tance and shunned by the ,rest of humanity, and put a tax on him for the support of the government, said tax to be high enough to be felt as a punishmebt tor his un godly indifference. The Newton correspondent hopes that the Ob server will soon have such a law passed, and it seems the Observer is about wicked enough to do if, if possible. But the Observer wants to be kind and considerate, and therefore insists that the badges should be neat and simple, of a pleasing appearance instead of showy or unsightly, thus holding him forth as an object of pity ra ther than setting him up as a com ical specimen to be laughed at and jerred at by the unholy. We turn the fight against such a measure over to Editors Huggins, of the Marshville Home, and Bivens, of the Ansonian, reeling (hat they will earnestly protest that no Bnch law be passenjust jet.—Pageland Journal.

Theapproaching convention of the North Onrolina League of Lo- i IiiiiWiiinr and Loan Associations i is to be held in Baleigli.

Charlottebaslong enjoyed the IrepuUtiOD of being the banner I building and loan center in' the South and one of the foremost in the whole country but this dis tinction has only been the ieshlt, in the estimation of those in a po sition to know, of the far-seeing and discriminating policies of those who directed the movement in . its incipiency. The same story might be told of any and every other city in North Carolina if only the same general policy is pursued. That fie results have justified the efforts oi those iu charge is evidenced by the declaration of well-posted in dividuais that-Charlotte today is indebted to this one factor more so than any other, for its'presentgreat growth. Today in Charlotte there are 55,- 189 building and loan .shares in force. Thisrepresents subscribed stock for $5,518,900.- Figuring upon the government census of 34- UOO population, every man, woman ^od child, white and colored, in tiie city has subscribed for $162 wlb of this stock. In Charlotte the annual savings not counting a penny of interest, auoiint to $71-7,457. IfthewholeState did as well . there would be saved annually the 8'im of 846,464,392. The actual status in North Caro lina, however, is as follows: Eeti- ; an increase of 25 per cent past two years, the State Ius 213,948 shares in force. This represents a subscribed capital of $21394,800. The present assets are about $8,500,000. Tlie annual saving is $2,781,324. /' In Charlotte the average is over one and one-half shares per capita "hereas in the State it is IeBS than one-tenth of a share pel* capita, Charlotte has been leading the building and loan movement throughout the State for. years' and it is rapidly expanding.

The Toirens system proposes cOnce and for all tolook up a titli to settle the questions of the past a n d tP assure the present owner that his title is good.

A week henee the Republicans pan begin yelling for Taft or Teddy. The great battle comes off next Tuesday at Chicagoi and the country will rejoice when it's over. The Southern Railroad is humbly petitioned to give us a morning train to Charlotte, and an evening train to Winston. For many years we have waited in vain for this - small favor, and we are still waiting. It is freely predicted that W. J. Brvan will be nominated for Presi dent on the Democratic ticket at Baltimore two weeks hence. If such a thing should happen, there would be a bunch of mighty sick Democrats in Mocksville. The next legislature should be asked to give the various townships in Davie county the right to vote bonds for good roads. If there is a township in the county that doesn’t want good roads, then they can step aside and watch the rest of the coun ty march forward. A merchant told us not long ago that his ad in Th'e Record was worth six times as inueh to him as an ad In any other paper. He said he seldom found a customer but what took The Record. Every merchant in Mocks ville should carry an ad in our pa per, if they want to reach the peo ple who trade here. When a man wants a plow or har row he should go to a hardware store; when he wants a sack of flour or a package of coffee, he should go to a grocery store; when he want medicine he should. go to a drug store, and when he wants cloth he should go to a dry goods store. Oui farrper friends could save money by following these rules. perIn thecorinty at'the lowestprice possible. Our large .circulation in Davie counfy is very gratifying, but there are still a few good peop’e who are not getting our paper. We want you to help, us, secure their, subscriptions. You can-do this -by lending your copy of the paper to that neighbor of yours who. does not take it. Help us, and we will help you and your county. -• Idaho For Garb.

It is published by the Falls brothers and they are both editors. Their “ we” editorial boasts that they ai e glad of the fact that their publi cation has two editors, in order that the word “ we” can be used in accordance with plain, everyday talk. Falls brothers can’t under stand how one editor can use the “ we” expression when referring to himself alone. Oh, well of course the primary reason for using tbe plural pronoun is to avoid egotism but before our new contemporaries have been in the newspaper field twelve months, unless Ih'y are very particular about what they say, in all probability they will de cide that it is the part of wisdom from a physical standpoint to say “ we” so that when an angry sub scriber comes in he may always be informed that the fighting member of tbe “ we” family is out.—iMarsh- villeHome.

Blood Was Wrong All women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due to female ailments, are urged to try Carduil the reliable, _ scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui .acts promptly, yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly system,, relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system, and toning up the nerves.

Hickory Times Mercury. At tbe annual meeting of the Ancient and Honorable Order of Chronic Kiickers recently held in this city writer was madei presB agent with instructions to prepare and cause to be published the fol- jovring resolutions: Whereas, we, the assembled body of tlie Ancient and Honor able Body of Chronic Kickers, re* gardiug ourselves as real benefac t o r s of the race, and recognizing the lareuess of all those who have so far refused to join oar honorable order, do see that the future ot our town is frought with danger, Therefore, be it resolved: let. Tliat it is the sense of this meeting that the city of Hickory, while providing comfortable seats io the park lor out accomodation, should at the same time furnish a suitable number of cuspidors to relievo us Cl the necessity of rising from our seats to expectorate. 2nd. That we view with indig* uant scorn and contempt, not un mixed with utter detestation and loathing abhorrence” (this expres sion was borrowed from my friend Dickens) the unexcusable habit of our fellow townsmen in being con stantly employed. Tbe strenuous life they are living can but result in the physical deterioration of the race. 3rd. That we denounce and con demn in the most scathing terms the brutal eftorts of Prof. Staley and others to inflict upon the peo- pie of this town that most dam nable of all institutions—the pub lic schools. Our present 8j stem of education inspires our boys and girls w.th an abnormal energy lead ing them to tbe expenditure of- such force anti efforts that they are deprived of the real joys of life. 4th. That we cannot too strong ly disapprove the pernicious efforts ofSecretary Joy and his Chamber of Commerce to bring new indus tries to town. Hew enterprises ttjan more work, thuB leading our Iwys to depart from the path their fathers trod, and can result in nothing beneficial to mankind. 5th. That we deprecate the wil ful and malicious activity of May or Lentz and his board of Alder- Bien in extending the street im provement work in Hickory, thus increasing the taxes of these of ub ""ho are so unfortunate as to own property in town and destroying the ancient landmarks that have stood against the storms ot time B'uce ihe memory of man runneth not to the contrary. ®th. That in the progressive Policies of onr newspapers we see the downfall of our Bepublic aud •he destruction ot our civilization. Uur forefathers, the untutored savages, had no literature, yet wIth the womea: doing the work, their life was an acme of useful ness and happiness. 'th. That, finally, in pursuing °ur way across this mundame 8Phere, we pledge ourselves to wake as many obnoxious state ®ents as possible about those who 0110,1 v'ew conditions as we view Jfleui acd that we will have but ltfcIe reSarU for faots in any state luenI8 tljat we make, that all out P 'lanthropy shall be so nearly animosity that the closest observer n* UOt to determine the i erenee. And, if “ after ex^ ousting all the. resources of fraud a° falsehood, during years upon Jears; after exhibiting a combina- °uo{ dastardly meanness with nsauguine(j daring, such as tlie or d has not ofton witnessed; y friend Dickens must have n„U’Wewili shafe the dust 6fi our fi.ftt „„ei as a testimony against and will declare to the world the blood ot our town is hot required at our hands. : | THE SECRBTABte S.

BooiBtl Don’t be frightened when some-, one tells you that you are going to do something to hurt yourself. Have more confidence in yourself than in some pessimism. You’re ail right.

A real man is one who responds nobly to circumstances. The har der the knocks and the more dis couraging the situation the brigh ter he shines. A real man never talks about what the world owes him, thehap- piness he deserves,'the chance he ought to have, and all that. Allhe claims is the right to live and play the man. There is lots of agitation, these days, in politics, concerning the great question: Have the people really enough brains to govern themselves! And every time the people have kicked the basement out of the doubters. Then they grin. It’s a way the people have. He who overlooks a small occa sion will have lost his eyesight when a great one comes. Never’ wait for a, chance to do-good, nev: er seek for some great thing, but improve each BmaH opportunity^ it comes to you, and some day you will be surprised to find that the trhly great occasion of your life would have been overlooked had you not been keeping track of the small things.—Ex. 5 « Useless Pondering. Some one has said: “Don’t waste any of your time figuring out why blacic hen lajs a whi- e egg—get Vh'a rgg!” And whye\ ;r this au thor was^ he certainly had. the bus iness situation of today sized up correctly. IS is the age of special ists, and if an employer Jiires a man to make drawings, run a lathe ;0r superintend the erection; ot a building, that—and that only—iB what the employer warjts that man •to do. .. I1 . ■' Yet hundreds of thousands of young men are wasting Bcurs and hours of their spare timein.solving questions just about as important as|&why a blaok hoo lays a. .white eg lf ’ or which of the professional baseball player* will havjfj the best batting average. ' It never occurs to these fellows that atLletes are after “ the egg’? rather than anything else. Neither does the fact sink very deeply in ^ Mr. Dopester’s head that it |puld be more profitable to spend his time in gathering knowledge that would make him ' a specialist —and thereby help him- get “ the Oh, no, his, ability is not appfteciated- what ability the Lord only knows—by the boss. Let. the hen lake care of herself and you take care of your future by securing the knowledge that will make you a specialist.. Get the egg.”—Ambition. -v • 11 1 1 ~ Population; of the World. CThe total -population of the world ispow estimated at 1,700,000,600. This is based upon the most recent estimates which all civilized coun tries now take of the number oi inhabitants of uncivilized lands. The' proportion of the sexes is known for 1,038*000,000 of these the ratio being 1,000 males to 990 feinales. Theratio varies consid erably in different places. In Eu rope there are 1,000 men to 1,027 women; in Africa 1,000 men to ,015 women;; in America 1,000 men to S64 women; in Asia 1,000 Hien to 9^61 women; in Australia i|000 men to 937 women. The highest proportion of wom en: is found iuijganda where there are 1,467 to every 1,000 men. The lowest proportion is in Alaska and the Malay States; where there are in the latter^389 women to every 1;00Q men. 7 Girlson Kissing. The alt of kissing in all its phasf. «%is the subject of a special Vissu^ offthe Qhaparral, Stanford’s comic- papejfi -Editorially,-..'L:.- infrfield, chairman of the Board oi Editors, dedicates the number to '.tSk much needed reform in the University, homing that it will proviB an incentive in bringing the men and women: of Stanford closer togetheri” v?- -Here is the way one of the arti c le characterizes the art of kissing: r A kiBB is an idealized bite. SPractically speaking, a kiss is nothing morethan a contact be tween labial, appendages of one and the person^of another, but frdm the standpoint of esthetics it often baffles description. It has.been said th at kisses are like olives in. a bottle—after the filst one is obtained the rest come easy. It would be more accurate Ixr say th at after the Second kiss is gotten the rest follow rapidly. Any m an can get th e first one if he watches the tithe and grabs the dp portunity and the girl. But it takes a good man to bridge the gap sO created and obtain a m ate t|jfthe first, . jpt is a disputed point whether it is more blessed to give than to re ceivekisses. In our opinion, the: best thing is to alternate. |piirls like.to be kissed, but they hiate to begin; conseqvently they save their supply in a mentalhope chest and then give them away on hardly more than a third bet. Men like tO=be the first one to kiss a girl,, but girls prefer kissing, a man who has \had some exper ience. If the-inan is ineix.periehced the girl hasn’t the satisfaction of thinking that she got him away from some Gther girl. ; -T h ib est w ayko kiss is often : If kisses ieft scars Istost of your best friends would be going around ^vith th eir faces^in bandages, girl whohas never been ,kiss ed doesn’t gd to many dances and is a good-student.

It’s pretty hard to know how to treat a lie when it’s about your self. You can’t go out of your way to deny it, because that puts' you on the defensive; and sending the truth after a lie that’s got a running start is like trying to ronnd-rip- ar itampedeil -herd bf: steers while the scars is on them . Lies are great travelers, and are welcome visitors in a good many homes and no questions asked Truth travels slowly, has to prove its identity andi then a lot of peo ple besitute'to turn out an agree* able stranger to make room for it. About the only way I know to kill a lie is (o live the truth. When your credit is attacked, don’t both er to deuy the rnmor, but discount your bills. When you are attack ed unjustly, avoid the appearance of being good— that is—better than usual. Surmise and suspicion fetd on the unusual, and^when a man goes about his business along the usual route they soon fade away for lack of nourishment.—Banner Leader. He Got a Pardon. A bachelor member of-congies?, who is not as handsome as Apollo, dropped into Clerk McDowell’s office the other day to seek sym pathy because tbe lady on whom he had looked with favor was about to marry another man, Bays the Washington Post. “This remindi me,” said Mr. McDowell, “of the incident which happened when Governor Dick Oglesby went down to Joilet to in spect the state prison. In on$ uf the cells was a'very ugly man. “ What are you in for!” asked Oglesby “Abduction,” was the reply. “I tried to run off with a girl and they caught me.” “I’ll pardon you as soon as I get back to Springfield,” said the governor. “I don’t see how you could expect to -get a wife any other way.” The homely bachelor congress man laughed loudly. Then as the application of tbe story dawned upon him. the smile faded from his face and he walked out of Mc- 'Dowell’s office without ‘ saying a Word. ....

Josephus Daniels savs that Bryan will not be a candidate for Presir dent. Josephus says many things. His mouth doesn’t in no wise resem ble a prayer book. The postofflce lobby is closed and locked about an hour before sun down these days. The citizens of Moeksville could have the lobby left open until 9 oi: 10 o’clock in the eve* ning if they would ask Uncle Sam. Word comes from Raleigh that the Kitchin cohorts, their coats split and their banners torn, are proclaiming that they are satisfied with the capers cut by the cyclone and swearing that old Purnifold lost votes. Politics always was a funny thing.—Charlotte Observer. We can imagine that things are pretty warm in Chicago as we go to press today, Tuesday. The Nation a! Republican Convention is in sess ion today, and both Taft and Teddy are claiming the victory. It is to be hoped that the biys will keep cool and'hold their temper, it makes no difference what happens, or who is nominated. The editor has done more hoeing, plowing and digging in his garden in the last three weeks, than Bob Page has done in ten years, and we defy Roberttoproduceprooftothe con trary. Bob did one other good thing in the past ten vears that we forgot to mention two weeks ago—he voted against the Governmentdistribution of free seed, for which we commend ed him at the time. The Democratic State convention which met recently in Raleigh, must have slipped the Davie Republican steam roller. Some of the Demmies c'aim that they were run over by such a machine while in the City of Oaks. - • ANOTHER FAT YEAR. Four or five weeks ago 'the farm ers of this section of the South were badly in the dumps. The season was wet and late and they were far behind in Cotton planting operations. It did not appear possible to get a full crop of cotton in' the ground, but just about ;the time they were despairing there came a ;hot wave with drying out- winds and sunshine, and within a few days, cotton plant ing was done. A full acreage was put in and the “stands of both early ane liate planted give promise rath er beyond expectations. Alongside the cotton fields* corn is moving merrily in the breezes. There is more corn and better corn growing in North Carolina today ' than has been known in. many years—perhaps more than has been l?nown in the history of the State, This gratify ing condition of affairs is due in a large measure to the inspiration of the boys’ corn contest clubs. In the production of corn, North Carolina is going to make a new record this year. But not alone is it well with cotton and corn. The fruit interests have emerged from all danger by frosts and there is going -to be an abundance of fruits of all !varieties. It is to be noted that by reason of the fact that the orchard owners have been paying more attjention to pruning and spraying, the apple croy will be. not only larger, but the apples will be of a better; quality. The wheat harvest is regarded by the farmers a very satisfactory one, the oats crop is not bad as oats go in North Carolina, while the hum ble blackberry will probably do a little bit better than its best. Barr ing those who fail to elect their man there is no reason why everybody fortunate enough to live In North Carolina, should not be measurably happy during the present year.— Charlotte Observer, I County politics seems to be very quiet around theseparts at the pres ent time. With the exception of the sheriff’s office, no one seems to care how long the other fellows hold on. Two or three men are much talked ,of for the office of high sheriff, but no public announcements have yet been made. The Record hopes that the Republican party in Davie will limit the officeholders to two terms in the future. It is not wise to ask the people to vote for the same men. for life. We believe the time has come for some changes. The Demo crats haven’t said, but we suppose tfiey will put out a county ticket this fall. WHAT LEXINGTON HAS DONF. “Any person allowing a bull dog to be, or go, upon any sidewalk or street in the town of Lexington, . shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not to exceed $10, or imprisoned not exceeding 30 days. This ordinance shall apply whether the dog be muz zled, or not muzzled, or whether ,loose or led by chain, rope, orother ’wise.”—Lexington Dispatch. It would be a good idea for our city fathers to meet and pass such a law for Mocksyille, with all other kinds of dogs included. Withsuch a law, there would be no danger from hydrophobia. WHOA, HENRY. When die republican national com mittee met in Chicago they appealed fjr police protection; when the de mocratic state convention met in Raleigh the police were given a hol iday. Moral: the cops know their b usinesr. —Lexington Dispatch. Thepolicein Washington didn’t even have a half holiday when the Democratsmetlnthat city a few weejfe ago. Three different con ventions were held in one day, and the word harmony was a stranger in all -three. From the number- 'of blind tig e ^ e ^ te d in Raleigh, the police of that^ty Mave bqen ,jtaking a holiday for rigrny moons,'so it ^ras nothing new fot them to be off duty during the late Wilson^Simmons love feast in that city. THE STATE CHAIRMAN. Western Carolina Enterprise. It was pleasing to note that the majority in the Republican State Convention refused to be “usee” by tbe faction desiring Chairnjan More head’s political “scalp.” This fac tion was first on the RooseVelt band wagon, and hoped to turn, this ad vantage to the* accomplishment of their complete, enthronement. But it turnedL out that the Rooseveltmen were riot willing to do the gross 'in justice of deposing the state chair man, notwithstanding the- sinister desire of some of their leaders. This is well, for the state chair manship question is seperate and distinct from those of the presiden tial preference and the selection of national committeemen. It would have been very unwise for the chair manship matter tp have been pre cipitated at that time, and the fact that the majority refused tb be used to promote petty factional ends re gardless of the enthusiasm of the moment is an exceedingly hopeful Indication that the Republican party of this state is getting- oii tljie right Though Morehead personally fa vored Taft, he did not use the pres tige of his high office in an !attempt to defeat the will of the Patty- He carried out the sound and praise worthy principles he announced as his policy when elected. In short, lie has acted the man arid lived up 0 his high political ideals Further more, Mr. Morehead, instead of-eiv- ing his time to the promotion of fac tional rows, has been addressing himself to the rank and file direct— not to promote factional advantage but to bfing about needful amend ments to the party Iaiw which would give the people more power arid the bosses less. These amendments,. proposed by Mr. Morehead, woUld.prevent clash es between state chairman and nat ional committeeman; wouldcut down the number of appointive members of the state /committee and make that a more representative body; would give more authority to the rank and file. ' I ' We knpw not whether MiL 'More head will make a fight to- succeed himself. We have many good men in the party .who colild fill the bosit- 1 >n., we also think it is, time forithe; jaijk and file to lookj well ' theflistand riot !allow the office ■falflntirWfe hands of pie ■■dispensers or bitter factionalists who would yse it for their own personal advantage; Mr. JUorehead stands alone, and not with Butler or anybody else, He is a valuable man, and thei party needs him, j Letter Fripm Spencer, f Kditor Record:—I. wish to call the attention of the pnblic through your paper that ia 1584, sometime in July, the first colony of the An glo Saxon race was landed on the sandy batiks of North Carolina. Only 328 years ago. Eow, my dear readers, put oil yorir thinking cap —I meau put it on your head., not OQ your feet. 328-yearfc ago this good old North State did1 not have, a single gully and was a state of fine forest. Look aroudd jj»arself today, and what do you see; the worst butchered j disheartened; ob stacle that man could think of in' the way of agriculture, and our merchants and Aour mill men send ing to the west for wheat, mea*, corn and nearly = everything else. Mr. Editor, gleas& tell the people through your paper what has got as in such a shape, and I will send yon 60 new subscribers. I can’t charge it to anything but negro peddlers and land grabbers. Now my dear reader, if the lands of our good old state are not better taken care oi, in 328 years more it will take a; good sized farm to feed a goose. What is the remedy.1 Lib eral taxation on Improved land, and. ane dollar per acre on: unim-' proved land.' Tax all land specu lators one thousand dollars for ev ery five hundred dollars invested on land speculation. That will start the small farm system which Will turn the attention of our young men to the farm. I for one, don’t blame the young men for not rent iug. a farm so long as he can get 50 cents per day. Hustsibe. [Hustler wants tp know what has got us iu such bad shape. Thiere are many reasous,- but we will mention only enough tp secure those fifty subscriptions h e; prom ises to send. u s.. To begin >with, our. Iarmers have sacrificed too" much of their timber, which caus ed our State to be filled with gul lies. - Our young men have left the farms and moved into the- towns aod cities, thus becoming consum ers instead of producers, which has necessitated our having to purchase our Ao1Jir, meat arid many other articles from the. West, wbilh is not Jilled np with cotton mills and other factories Which ' induce the. farmers to sell -their farms' and place their children in the mills. Our farmers rai-'e too much cotton and tobacco and ;ndt enongh wheat and-corn. We- raise too many dogs and not enough-hogs and sheep. If eyery dog in North Carolina was a hpg, tie could ! export meat - in* stead of having io import it*. Trie farmers take too much off of their lands) and put nothing back.. If these evils set forth above were corrected, then we would indeed have a land flowing with wheat, big hams and plenty of .money.. Send along the subscriptions. Ed ] Representative WickIiffeKilIed.

To put the body in healthy condition, to feed the system on rich, red blood and throw out the poisons from the body, nothing in the past forty years has excelled Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, a pure glyceric extract (without alcohol), of bloodroot, golden seal and Oregon grape root, stone root, mandrake and queen’s root with black cherrybark. ■ “ My husband was a sufferer from stomach trouble and. impure blood,” writes Mbs.

It continued this way- for a, long time. He tried every remedy that any one would suggest but found no relief. He then tried Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery which completely cured him.

A iuneral which had to be post poned because the “corpse” tbout, he would like to go home, is re ported from Zurawica, Galicia. A prominent landowner named Man- -sy was bding buried with elaborate ceremony; the priest had given his last benediction to the departed, and the reletavis were commencing to fill the grave, when hollow cries. Jor help were heard issuing from the coffin. Most of the mournerB stampeded mad with terror but on the priest and grave diggers mus tering up sufficient courage to in vestigate and remove the lid of the coffin, the'“corpse” was found to be very much alive. He could give no explanation of his strange trance, but was well enough to walk hom6, and iB now completely recovered. The Dry South.

Over- public and over-aggressive gum is not the sole fault for which members of the fair sect have latter ly been reproached. “Boys” exhorts a correspondent of the Bakersville Kronicle, “don’t associate with girls who use tobacco in any form. They won’t make decent wives for you. Therefore we say: Boys, let the whiskey go; girls, drop the .tobacco and be decent and loyal to your beau and if in wedlock you ever upite you’ll feel that you have fought a good fight; married life will be a joy; you will be the happiest of girls, and he-will be a happy boy.'” We do not, as-a rule,,approve the introduction of distinctively poetic rhythms and effects into prose. For prose there are charms all its own, without the need of invading the other field But, even though no al lowance were made' for the North Carolina tendency to sing rather Than speak, we would grant that this writer has much cause. However unduly fond of tobacco himself a young man may be, he cannot relish it on the lips of his beloved. Horror becomes bottomless or should be- comb; Ut the very thought. From such a Stygian pool any one deliver ing exhortations would faiii escape by jthe most rapid flight. He would rise on viewless wings of denuncia tion, and rebuke.

The great trouble with: jjhe hu man family is in keeping things balanced. When the pendulum reaches the limit One-Way, and be gins to retrace itself, it almost in variably swings too far in the op posite direction. .Gne of the clear est demonstrations of this fact may be seen in the present tendency to lay, not tpb much stress on the importance of mothers and their noble calling, but too little on that, offathers,. Mothers’ day is cele brated, but nothing is said about fathers. When a child wants to go visiting or engage in anything out of the ordinary , it must , ask mother. It is Aunt Sallie’s and Cousin Lucy’s and the old man is left out of the business altogether. He is merely “daddy” and that’s about all the importance there is attached to him.

JUNE 26. 1912 NUMBER SI. AVERY COUNTY, N. C., GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS. gr. Editor:—I promised you. and the editor of the Herald a letter ' or so during my absence in the moun tains, and I fully intended comply ing with my promise. but after I g o t off the train at Edgemont and took a hack and entered the confines of Avery county, together with Mrs. Morris, I was so possessed of the feelings of the Queen of Sheba. (ilThehalfhadnever been told,”) that I could not take my eyes off of the enchanting beauties of the love ly mountains, with them vari-color- ed flowers and evergreens, their sparkling springs and streams, their loft peaks and verdant sides. From this and from that point a different panorama spread out before the eye and one was almost lulled to sleep by the songs of the birds, the frag rance of the flowers,, the verdue. of the hills, and the babbling of the crystal brooks wending their way through canyons from whose sides towered the lofty hemlock inter mixed with the rhododendron, moun tain ivy, and azalea in full bloom, so intermixed with the evergreens that a landscape gardener would have paused in admiration of the beautiful flower garden which has. grown up on these fertile mountain sides, untonched and unplanned by the hand of man. As one ascends the mountains from Edgemont, the present northern terminus of the Carolina & Northwestern Railroad, over the beautiful Watauga turn pike to tne foot of the Grandfather mountain, wno lifts his lofty peak 5,961 feet above sea level;, and takes a bird’s eye view of the lesser moun tains whose slopes are covered with virgin forests and from the sides of which flow countless springs of cool, sparkling water, (the wine of the Hods) when he beholds .the fertile ail enriched by the decay of vege table matter for countless ages, and sees springing from mother earth as if touched by magic the verdant na tive grass meadows, and fine pas tures upon which feed horses, cattle, sheep and goats, and goats, and the line vegetables, gardens and. apple orchards, on the slopes and in the wes, the man from Piedmont North Carolina instinctively wonders why such a surpassingly rich mountain region, with its great natural re sources of timber, minerals, water Power, and fertile soil has so long been neglected by the railroads ’and tIleCapitalists- The only explana tion is that in building standard gaage roads, the places of least re sistance have been penetrated, driv- ■ug Southward to tee old settled re- Jlons of cotton, Northward to the sctories and seaboard shipping Wnts1 Westward to connect with he transcontinental lines to the r|fnt, while some of the. greatest ®uty spots and most fertile of our ands have been neglected.

Jim Mann was on. his way back from Chicago and couldn’t help herring the conversation of a coup le In the section right behind his. They looked like newly married folk, but were pot on their houey moon, as Mann learned by deduc tion. The woman laid down a newspaper she had been reading and said to her husband: “ Do yon know, I wish Ihad one of these affinities.

The *‘dollar-a-day” pension bill be came a .law two weeks ago.

Perhaps 50.000 more will get on the rolls.! “There is no telling -how much this increase will cost the govern ment,” says' Commissionef James L. Davenport. “More than 50,000 ve terans die eaclf year, and Hie rate of mortality will .increase. However about hhlf of; those who die leave widows who are entitled to pension, provided they.had been married to the pensioner prior to June 27,1890.” The last pensioner of the revolution ary war died only a year ago. Oyef 100 widow pensioners of the war of 1812 are still; on the rolls. . Estimates as to the cost of the dol- lar-a-day act range from $20,000,000 to $40,000,000, evidence that the congressmen who passed the billhad no idea how much money they were appropriaHng.

'The Georgia prach traffic over the lines of the Sodihhrn railway is on in full swing and. yesterday engine after engine pulled through Greens boro, each being, attached to the front end of a long string of rate. Passenger engines wereused exclus ively and all trains were run on passenger schedule. Each train was made up in from 10 to 15 cars and during the 24 hours just passed something like 20. trains have gone through. Traffic, however, is given more'impetns through th&fact that other trains loaded with from 30 to 40 empty cars are going southward to be loaded and returned with the luscious Georgia peaches and water melons. The Southern has this year booked 6,000 cars for the Georgia peach growers alone; which, it is said, ex ceeds any previous single_years haul by 2,000 cars. Last year the South ern handled a few less than 4,000 cars of peaches from Georgia.— Greensboro News. The Company She Kept.

While the country is being ex cited by the struggles between the many aspirants for the presidential nominations, it is a pleasing fact to know that the industries of the country are showing greater; acti vity than at any time/ since the year of 1907. Daring the past month orders have been placed for 23,000 freight cars and /165 locomotives. Since April 1st. orders have'been placed for 46,000 cars and mdre than 500 locomotives. In addition to these large orders have been placed for an early delivery of steel rails. Tbe inoreased activity among the railroads and IargebrderS for steel andiron products are: the. surest ’SigUSof-tevi^ng^^ return of prosperity, as railroads above all others are infallable bar- meters of business conditions and when thCy begin placing orders it is evident that the business of the country is in a healthy condition,— LeaksvilIe-Spray News, Crest of the Blue Ridge Highway.

Moviog Against Political tion ia Watauga. BocheDemocrat T. H.

Many of the prospective can didates and leading citizens, re presenting both parties, were con sulted and to a man they favored the move and expressed their will ingness to pledge themselves in any way agreed upon' by the meeting not to spend one. cqnt ofeorrnptipn money this year, let the results be what they may. This is indeed a step in the.right direction and we trust the measure may be adopted and carried ont in such a way that the candidate who violates it will be defeated, if it takes the votes.of his own party to do it.

Any fool can hoe corn, but it takes a smarter man than Bob Page to hoe much of it. Tlie high cost of living is indeed becoming serious. A fellow had the cheek to ask us 25 cents for a gallon of blackberries the other day. Occasionally a. fellow gets mad over politics or dogs, and has his paper stopped, but we usually find at least two good men to take the place of every one we lose. We are glad that there is at least one man on Route one who favors a dog law, and is in sympathy with us. Others will doubtless join with us later on. BY OLD WING OF THE PARTY. Wilh 344 Delegates Not Voting, The President Receives a Majority Over OAers —Sherman For Vice-President. Chicago, June 22.—Wilb the party admittedly facing the great est crisis in its history, William HowardTaftat 9:15 o’clock to night was re nominated for Presi dent of the United States by the Republican convention. Therevoltof the Roosevelt de legates to the convention was open from the moment the permanent roll containing the names of the contested delegates was approved. Henry J. Allen, of Kansas, read the “ valedictory ” statement in behalf of Roosevelt, asking that his name be not presented and that his delegates sit in mute . protest against all further proceedings. A great majority of theRoosevelt delegates from Illinois and. all in che Idaho delegation declined to follow the advice of Roosevelt, but Roosevelt’s sway over the delega tions of Califdrnia, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New. Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West Virginia was all but absolute. Kostofthe delegates from these states announced their purpose ol nelping to give Roosevelt an inde pendent nomination. The split in the convention was he occasion or no surprise: It was >ut the fulfillment of the predic tions made during the past few We feel sorry for the little, nar row-minded peanut politician who is afraid to read both sides of the question. There are not many such men in our county, for which we should be thankful. NO COMMENT NECESSARY. Fishin’ trips for minister!, we presume, are somewhat different from the usual fishin’ trips of the .average laymen.—Winston Journal. Yea, verily. . The National Democratic conven tion is in session at Baltimore today. Six or seven men are after the nom ination for president, the two latest additions being Gaynor, of New York, and Foss, of Massachusetts. Itlooksnow like Bryan or Clark will be the nominee. It is to be hoped that none of our delegation from Davie will accept the second place on the ticket. We have talkedwithanumber of citizens of the town'in regard to a building and loan association, and we find that mogt of them are very anxious to secure such an associa tion. Taylorsville has recently or ganized one, and Lenoir has just or ganized a second one. There is no reason why we shouldn’t be able to get together and organize. Let ev ery man in Mocksville stop talking politics long enough to boost up this much-needed enterprise. CLAREMONT COLLEGE. In anothercolumnwill be found an ad of Claremont College, located at Hickory, N. Cl, to which we wish to call the attention of parents hav ing daughters to educate. Hickory is the editor’s old home, and for 25 years we have watched this College and noted the great work it has ac complished, not only for the young ladies of the State, but throughout the whole country There is no healthier city in the State than Hickory, which nestles in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge, and has an elevation of 1175 feet above sea lev el. Claremont College is situated in the centre of a beautiful campus of 30 or 40 acres, covered with na tive forest trees, and overlooks the city, which is the be3t town in the State, regardless of size or any thin,,, else. The College buildings are large' and commodious, and the faculty is the best that can be had. In the city are to he found handsome chuxches of almost every denomina tion; a first-clqss hospital, fine rail road, telegraph and telephone fa . cilities. We would be glad to speak more fully of this College, but space will not permit. The President whom we have known since etr childhood, will gladly send you catalogue, explaining the great ad vantages of thjs College, if you will write him. PArents would do well to investigate this gchOOl before sending their daughters elsewhere. ihe closing sceneB of the con vention were marked by counter lemonstrations for Taft and Roose velt. The first test vote after the •valedictory’’ came on the adop- ion oi. the party platform. The iffirmative vote was 566. While the Roosevelt delegates present and iot voting numbered 343. I LaFollette waa placed before the onvention, but Roosevelt’B wishes were carried out by his followers ind they were silent during the all on the states for nominations. The convention re nominated James Schoolcraft Shernian for Vice President. When it/.became Absolutely certain today tfifot Taft AOitid be nominated without diffi julty the leaders' in con trol of the couventiou decided to give* him as running mate his companion on the ticket in 1908: Ali others dropped from the race, and Sher man was the only .candidate placed oefore the convention. As the convention adjoqrnedthe nearly 350 Roosevelt delegates de- lining to vote hastened away to tender to Etoosevelt the nomination ot the new party. North Carolina voted as; follows: Talt I; Roosevelt I; not voting 22. THS NEW PARTY NOMINATES THE LION HUNTER; Taddy Ha* Created a Brand New Party, With HimieIf at The Masthead. Chicago, June J 52. — Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for president on an independent ticket, to night in the dying hours of the Re publican national convention- in which he met defeat. The followers of Roosevelt gathered in Orchestra Haliandpledgedtheir supptfrt to the former President. In accepting the nomination Roose velt appealed to the peopie of -all sections, regardless Of party- affilia tions, to stand with the founders of the new party, one of whose cardi nal principles, he said, was to be: “Thou shall not steal.’’ The informal nomination of Roose velt is said to be chiefly for the pur pose of affecting, a temporary or ganization. V= Beginning tomorrow, when a: call will jje issued for a State convention in Illinoisrthe work of Organization will be pushed- forward rapidly, State by State. : At a later time, probably early in August, it is intended that anation- al convention shall be held. Roosevelt, in accepting the nomi nation tonight, said that he did so with thennderstanding that he would willingly step aside if it should be the desire of the new. party, when organized, to Belect another stand ard bearer. The speech nominating Roteevelt was made by William Prendergast of NewY-Ork, who was to have pre sented the Colonel’s name to the convention.
