Government's Figures Expose the Hypocrisy of Blaming the War for Hard Times Which Are Af­ flicting the Country. The Peiuocratic adm inistration teas jot more fortunate in th e political ac­ cident lty which it. was elected than it has been in having its blunders al­ most obscured by foreign com plica­ tions. It used to be said of kings th at whenever dom estic discord threatened io break out in a revolution they m ade oar upon some stand-by enem y in or- der t0 divert attention from th e dis­ satisfaction at home. T he W ilson regime has had all th a t advantage without the corresponding c o st F irst Mexico and then Europe cam e to the rescue of the D em ocrats by diverting sttention from our own dom estic tragedy in the form of a Suicidal fiscal policy. Onr people have never been per­ mitted to take a square look a t the new tariff as the prim e and all su£- fcent cause of an industrial depres­ sion, psychological in th e parlance of Democrats, hut real to th e pockets of nanufactnrers and producers general­ ly. We were ju st beginning to get weary enough of M exico’s eternal troubles to think about our own, when another and denser fiscal fog arose In the shape of the European, calam ity. It is not argued th a t th e D em ocrats are pleased with th e E uropean war, but they have taken every advantage of it in attem pting to explain aw ay the losses incurred by th e tariff. But the (ruth will out, and it is out with a vengeance in the statistics fo r the last fiscal year, ending Ju n e 30, and therefore in no w ise affected by the war. The government's own figures show that for the fiscal y ear 1914 th e U nited States bought from abroad about eighty millions of dollars’ w orth of goods in excess of th e purchases for the previous year and sold less of its own goods abroad by over a .hun­ dred millions' of dollars.' T h a t' is to say, we injured our own m arket to the extent of $80,000,000 and lost for­ eign markets to th e extent of m ore than $100,000,000. Gold literally stream ed out of the country, the excess of exports over imports for the year being $24,638,419. Remember, all th is w as ' before America lost a single custom er through the European w ar. IHtIi a net loss to A m erican indus­ try of $180,000,000 In one year, end­ ing at a period of alm ost tw o m onths before a shot was fired in Europe, is it not the height of political m en­ dacity to blame th e w ar and excuse the tariff as the cause of our depres­ sion, and was it n o t th e lim it of hypocrisy to speak of such a loss as merely "psychological?” Republican Victory. Rased upon the confident claim s of tbe Democrats, based upon th e eager interposition of th e adm inistration in Ibe campaign, based upon th e tre ­ mendous efforts put forth to keep the wintry at high D em ocratic tide, the judgment from the resu lts of th e elec­ tion must, be th at it w as a Republican 'ictory. it was not a clearance of the Democrats from th eir param ountcy.

With the reopening of the cotton exchanges today a general resump­ tion of business, which in the South has been marking time for months, will take place. The opening of the regional banks, too, will fac­ ilitate trade. Money will begin to circulate more freely. The South is not relieved of its cotton losses, the prices of our principal staple are not raised to a profit basis, but men will be able to take their bearings. Cotton that is not Bold will ’more and more beeome available as a security and its owners will have some money wherewith to meet their obligations. When John Doe owes the grocer §50 and the grocer owes the fresh meat dealer and the plumber and they in turn owe the drygoods man, the haberdasher, the carpenter, the fruiterer, the docsor and the print er, and John Doe holds tight to 150 for a week, a $500 train of business is held up and side track ed. When Doe pays the $50, the next man that withholds it from 'iis creditors side tracks the train. Business in the Bouth and busi: uess in Columbia are suffering because too many men are switch ing money trains on to side-tracks. If we pay for postage stamps and electric lights, we should pay with equal promptness for groceries, clothing and other necessaries. In a letter to The State yester­ day, Mr. W. I*. Btohison offers the excellent suggestion that the week beginning November 27 and end­ ing December 4, be “Pay Up” week—that every man earnestly endeavor in that period to settle accounts.with the merchants or/M least, to pay so much of his indebt­ edness as possible. Meantime, no. one who can pay today should, wait for November 27. The sooner payments are made, the faster business will pick up—and that means business for the laboring man as well as for the employer.—Columbia State. The Next Legislature. The Newsaud Observer is en­ abled this morning to publish ex­ clusively a complete list of the memberB of the next General As serably of North Carolina, which meets in the city of Baleigh in January,1915. Complete returns show that the Senate will contain 43 Democrats and 7 .Republicans. The Senate of 1913 contained 47 Democrats and 3 Republicans, so it will be seen that the Republicans have made a gain of four seats. The House will be composed of 90 Democrats, 22 Republicans, two Independents. The 1913 Hobbc contained 101 Democrats, 16 Re­ publicans, two Progressives and one Independent. TheDemocratic membership shows a slight, loss, while IheRepmblicanBhave gained. Bebter Than A Whipping.

The Democratic Stale convention refused to offer them in its platform and denied them the. prestige of the party that had sub mitted them at bo great an expence. The first great cost was the ap pointment of the commission that worked out constitutional chauges in Raleigh and at the coast. Gov Craig, believing the constitution to be in need of complete overhauling, especially the system of taxation, named what was universally con­ sidered a strong commission. He ealled the special session together to retouch, complete and submit the amendments. The printing has cost enormously. The whole course of the Dem­ ocracy has made the amendments go hard over the state, the division of the Republicans, despite their declaration in favor of these pro­ posals, making the party’s advo eacy impotent. There is no concealment among local and visiting Democrats of tbeir fear that a great party blund­ er was made when the Democracy failed to do what the editorial con­ vention did. The bill of §50,000 which must be paid is not going to help, either. The Democracy did net indorse the amendments in convention, b u t it inauguarted them; its Governor passionately championed them; its Attorney General “tore his shirt from nar­ rative to neckband for them.” Wbat effect all this will have upon the party two years hence is going to. furnish guessing. The leading Democrats ,are worried over it, conceding the failure of the taxation amendment. - —* : ------ Newton Enterprise: Inquiry of farmers as to the amount of wheat that is being sowed in the county convinces us that there will be the largest acreage in wheat and oah this year that Catawba has had in a long time.

Patronize Your Home Newspaper. Bormer United States 8enator Davis, of Illinois, recently said in *naddres8: “Every year every local paper ;iv«s from 500 to 5,000 free lines for/the benefit of the community in which it is located. No otheragency cap, pr will do this. The editor, in proportion to his means does more torjbis town than any other man. Hefiought to be supported, not be cause you like him or admire his writings but because a local paper ■is tirh best investment a community can"make. It may not be crowded with great thought, but financially it is of more benefit than both teacher and preacher. Todayeditors doJmore for less pay than any other mod on earth. Patronize you r home paper, not as charity, but as au investment.” Who The Barbarians Were. Two ladies who arrived in A- tnerica Nov. 7, direct from Ger­ many, writes in a private letter to a citizen of onr community: “The tales of atroeities against the: Germans have not been des­ cribed in all their hideousness. The multilation of the German soldiers was something awful. The nosCs and ears were cut off, then the mouths filled with sawdnst to suffocate them. Sixteen of those whose eyes were put out in Bel gium are reserved for the time when treaties will be made. Then, who the barbarians were, will be. come evident.” Straight Talk.

The Record wants to see more new factories go up in Moeksville, and it also wants to see factories that are already up get busy and run six days out of the seven. Once in a while a fellow comes around and tells us how to run our paper. We appreciate this kindness very much and always offer the gen­ tleman the use of our columns to testthe matter, but they always baok down. Governor Craig issued a Thanks­ giving proclamation admonishing all the people to go to church Thursday and remember the poor, and he went off to Richmond to attend a big foot ball game. Consistency, thou art indeed a jewel. Our schools belong to the people, not to two or a half dozen individ­ uals. Stand behind y our schools and do all you can to encourage the school board to employ good teachers at all times, and then for heaven’s sake let the teachers control the students and make them ^>ey the rules. There has just been completed in this city a new table and ehair fac­ tory. This factory, when it begins operations, will employ about 70 men. Itis hoped that conditions will improve so that the factory may start by the first of the year. When the factory starts some new houses will be necessary for the employees to live in. Now would be a good time for some of our citizens to build some houses to rent. LahorisplentL ful and material is cheaper today than it will be a year hence. Winston-Salem is m the midst of a “Pay-Up-Week.” and it is supposed that all who owe their neighbors, merchants and others, are paying up. We believe that MocksviUe and Davie county needs a “Pay-Up- Week.” and needs it bad, for most of us are owing everybody, and everybody is owing us. Suppose every man in Davie county tries t'j pay up his debts between Dec. 12'ch and Dee. 18th. Let every man y ,ho can pay the merchant the pr;eac] ier the lawyer, the doctor and the editor the amounts they have Pjngsince for­ gotten, then let the rmerchant, the editor, the preacher lawyer, doctor and ether fellows ^et busy and pay what they ewe. t How about it. boys? Our town government, our school system and a’,I other things are iust what we m?.ke them. There i's no doubt but'that we need better streets and sidewalks, electric lights., some kind of fire protection and a better sanitary system. The town., should employ a street foreman to I ook after the stceeU and let the police look after the law and order. ’There js a good deal of dissatisfaction, expressed by our citizens along this line. A sufficient salary should be/ paid our officers and we should hav e ai night policeman, as well as a d/ iy man. A policeman should not be required to clean out side ditches ar ,d wear-over­ alls, for such a PDVifl0n ,joes not command the respect vlue an officer. e Record he'^es th at. in the near future ChatZmuch n(W.ied chan|,es Wi be me de if t^ae town is mot f 2/ r*jay sa*ar‘e * ^or °fficers °f thelaw ^ 00 can devo Je their whole time to^ is duty, and also a street man to : after the streets, then let our xes be increase I that these much 1 ieeded improve^ ients may be had.

C FEW NOW WHO FAVOR RECALL Roosevelt Idea Seems to Have Been Relegated to the List of Ex­ ploded Crazes. T he theory of the recall of judges •which reached enactm ent In some sta te s and w as widely advocated by the m ore radical elem ents in others, seem s to be losing ground and gradu­ ally falling into the list of exploded crazes. One ot the prom inent exam ­ ples of the change is Governor Osborn Of M ichigan, who w as two years ago advocating the nonsense of th e Pro­ gressive program . H e now perceives th e w eakness of the proposal for sub­ m itting judicial recall to popular elec­ tion and advocates th e election of judges for life in order to free them from political dom ination. But he m ixes up the m atter by talking about th e rem oval of unfit judges by peti­ tion a t popular elections, which would be putting th eir .official tenure under political influence. In the advocacy of leaving the judi­ cial power uninfluenced by politics there is no cultivation of the belief th a t the judges are perfect. They are hum an like every other instrum ental­ ity. But the undoubted need of im­ proving their tardiness and th eir ten­ dency to observe prescribsd form s rath er than to deal out justice is not to be m et by m aking them subject to the favor of politics or m aking their deci­ sions liable to be overturned by the popular opinion a t a given election. It is essential to th e adm inistration of justice th at it shall be as free as pos­ sible from subservience to the popular w him of the movement. This is only to be done by m aking the judicial tenure either for life or for long term s except in cases w here the m is­ conduct is so flagrant as to require rem oval by im peachm ent. It should be understood th a t both courts and legal practice require posi­ tive reform s. B ut even as they are, they are better than any other known form s of setting the questions w ith which they deal. TARIFF HAS WORKED INJURY Country Is Beginning to Notice the Re­ sults of Democratic “States­ manship.” The Dem ocratic tariff inflicted a bnr- . den upon A m erican industry w ithout giving any benefit to anyone except the foreign m anufacturer. Jt did not low er prices to th e consum er, th e thing th at it w as advertised and guaranteed to do. Its capacity for reducing is confined to reducing profits and ^rages and the num ber of the employed. It does not supply th e necessary' rev­ enue for the expenses of the govern­ m ent. T hat is why a new tax is now being forced upon the country under the nam e of a “w ar tax.” The real reason for the new levy is that! the tariff law as fixed by the Demoicrscfs does not prom ise sufficient* revenue t«> cover the expenses of the governm ent, even w ith the great internal revenue receipts, and the incom e tax as a new source of revenue. If the Dem ocratic party would keep faith w ith the people, if it had regard for its platform pledge and prom ise, it would revise its own tariff law . T he party prom ised a tariff th a t would pro­ duce revenue. In its 1912 platform is this sentence: "W e appeal to this A m erican people to support us in o u r dem and for a tariff for revenue onfly.” W hat the D em ocratic party gave to the country w as a tariff for disaster only. It has borne no good fruit.. It has not decreased the cost of living* it has not produced the revenue neoes-* sary to support the governm ent ' in tim e of profound peace w ithin our borders. B ut its cost to th e A m erican producer is $27 each second of the working day. Value of Protection Shown.

You can’t make a mistake in taking CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark., says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, for women.

If you owe anybody a debt of long or short standing, make a desperate effort to pay it next week. "Start a dollar to moving and see how many debts it will pay.” By paying your debts you help the man you are ow­ ing to pay what he owes. Every week should be pay-up week, but we ask every man who can to try to settle what he owes next week. It will help the man who pays the debt and the man who receives the <ash and will help business wonder­ fully. This is a new idea, but let’s try it and see how it works.

BOOE, Winston, N. C. For ten days the sun did not shine and the rains descended upon the face of the .earth; the rivers became raging torrents and the creeks were as the untamed lion.. Lucky was the farmer whe had gathered his bottom corn. Bernard Campbell, colored, was given a preliminary trial here Satur­ day before V. E. Swaim, charged with brenking into a freight car at Barber. He was placed under a $300 bond, and sent to jail in default of bond, to await court. Two other negroes who broke in the car made their escape. Miss Juanita Reavist of Gountney, and Mr. William MeMahan, son of A, H. McMahaB, of. Pine, Davie county, were united^in marriage last week at the home of the bride's sis­ ter, Mrs. H. S. Williams, at Concord, Mr. McMahan is principal of the Mt. Gilead high school.. The Record wishes for the happy eouple a long and prosperous journey threughlife At a meeting of the city fathers last Tuesday night Policeman W. A, rruelove resigned and S. F. Binkley was elected to fill the vacaney. The Record believes Mr. Binkley will make a good officer, and trusts that the citizens of the town will co-eper- ■ite with him in helping to enforce the laws. The new county officers were sworn in Monday. There were four new men, two Repsblicans and two Democrats. M. C. Ijames, new Re publicancommissipner.Jas.McGuire newDebibcratic^rnmiss!«Hef;J.L. Sheek new Republican treasurer, and P. H. Nance, new Democratic sur- ver. The balance of the officers were re-elected. T. J. Hendricks is the new Representative from Davie, Will Critz, Sun Hall and Will Par­ ker, who were arrested last week charged with breaking into P. L. Meroney’s store and stealing watches, were given a preliminary hearing be­ fore V. E. Swaim last Wednesday and bound over to court under a $500 bond each. Failing to give boad, they were placed in jail. The evi­ dence was very strong gainst them. The following Road Commissioners were appointed Monday by A. T. Grant:. J N, Wyantf Fulton; W. K. Clement. Jerusalem; B. R. Steelman, Glarkeville: T. C. Sheets, Shady Grove. Farmingtenis left out in the cold. There are now four Demo­ crats and three Republicans on this Board, which means, we suppose, that the Democrats are to get- the blessings or the cursings for the roods. M. C. Ijames was made Chwrmanof the Geunty 'Commis­ sioners. a FOR SALE—Good work horse 8 years old. Mrs, M. J. Taylor, Smith Grove, N; Ci Of coarse there are a few men in' Davie county who ar-e not able _to take The Record and pay for it, bat the number is limited. The man who is able to take his county paper and does not, is not as good a citizen as the man who does. The county paper does more for the farmers and merchants than all Uie other agencies in the county combined. ^ The mer­ chant who doesn’t take his home pa­ per and doesn’t advertise is the mer­ chant who has to charge more for his goods than the other wide-awake merchant who believes in helping along home enterprises, for the rea­ son that ha doesn’t Bell many goods and has to make a bigger profit on what he does sell to live. Wo hope all our subscribers will patronize the man who are asking for their trade throught the county paper.

ABODE OF DEAD PETS Washington Has a Cemetery for Cats and Dogs. Tlny Graveyard Near Twenty-Elflhth and M Streets Northeast Ia Rest­ ing Place of More Than 75 Ani­ mals With Marked Graves. j In one of the m ost picturesque Bec- tions of W ashington surrounded by low-lying hills sw ept by breezes from the four winds, lie the bones of one-time aristocratic mem­ bers of W ashing­ ton’s “400.” Un­ less one was seek­ ing this unique burial ground and had received __________________ divers directions from some of the (scattered inhabitants of the surround- ing neighborhood this little known I place of sepulture one would likely pass on his way unm indful th at a dog and cat cem etery, bearing all the m arks of civilized interm ent and possessing undeniable traces of care­ ful decoration, w as' located beneath - the overhanging m aples and firs on the 'Side of the gently sloping hill near :the intersection of Twenty-eighth and ;M streets northw est. About 170 square feet of ground in- : closed by a w ire fence is th e burial .ground of m ore than three score and 'ten pet cats and dogs. M arked by unm istakable rises In the earth, the ,peaceful graves of one-time pets stand out in striking contrast to th e wild and beautiful surrounding scenes. Approaching the cem etery from in front of the old pottery facing on Twenty-eighth street one w alks in an easterly direction over a grasB-grown path leading through an open field, dotted here and there w ith clumps of young saplings and tufts of coarse !grass. On the right stretches an open piece of m arshy land rising grad­ ually to flat fields of corn and hay. In the distance the grand stand of the old Benning race track can be seen. Following the path for about 200 yards, the visitor is led suddenly down .a steep grade to th e right. About half-way down to the left are gray stones, evenly chiseled and highly polished, rising w ithin the confines •of a . four-strand w ire fence, alm ost com pletely hidden from view by a thick overgrow th of creeping vines and blackberry bushes. A dilapidated wooded gate, creaking dism ally as it is pushed open, adm its th e visitor to the anim als’ burial ground. U nless one is m indful of where he is stepping entering the cem­ etery he will tread on the grave of "D ear L ittle Bob, Beloved P et of Eliza­ beth Saum, Died 1908, Aged Eight T ears.” W ith care the visitor can avoid this significant rise in the earth, and then look about the only plot of ground dedicated to the repose of dead cats and dogs of bluest blood in W ash­ ington. Forty-odd headstones of granite, sandstone and-, hard and soft wood m ark the resting places of collies, St. B ernards, fox terriers and Pom eran­ ians. P et cats of Angora, M altese, Persian and tiger breeds, have found their last resting place, and their abodes are as distinctively m arked as are those of the dogs. Some of the wooden m arkers have long since de­ cayed, and lie in a tum bled heap across the graves. The stone m arkers as yet are unharm ed. Around artistically arranged wire •inclosures surrounding some’* of the graves running vines tw ine, shoots of which vainly attem pt to climb the sm ooth surfaces of th e headstones. Failing in the attem pt, they creep off over the ground until th eir progress is obstructed by other graves and other headstones. N ear the center of th e inclosure is a grave overgrown w ith tall grass, and inclosed by an iron railing about a foot In height. A granite headstone, projecting about th re e - feet out of the ground, bears th e following in­ scription: “My little darling Tootles.” A nother headstone close by bears this inscription, “Dick, Born April 12,1913; Died Febfuary 26, 1914.

This is just what this talk has been doing? “Buy a bale” has been worked to the limit and has given Tom, Dick and Harry oppor­ tunity to get in some advertising. Some big New York houses have been “buying a bale,” and it turns out that all of it was bought from men in that town who have been holding it. A million bales bought in the same way would not help the farmer. Why not buy a barrel of apples? With some system to the plan some good can be done, but it is a huge joke and is being played to the limit.—Greensboro Record. How To Give Quinine Tb Children.

TUs result will, in a m easure, com- te us for our w ar losses, fo r the interests and governm ent hlV6 been in the m ain assisting al­ most exclusively on th e production side of agriculture. W hile th e d e p a rt nent of agriculture has been dum ping tow of literature on th e farm er telling Mm how to produce, th e farm er has Ieen dumping tons of products in the nation’s garbage can fo r w ant of a market. The World W ill N ever Starve. . At no time since Adam and Eve mre driven from the G arden of Eden lave the inhabitants of th is world suffered from lack of production, but some people hare gone hungry from He day of creation to th is good hour for the lack of proper distribution. Slight variations in production .have forced a change in diet and one local­ ity has felt the pinch of w ant, w hile another surfeited, but th e w orld as a ,Ttholehas ever been a land of plenty. : We now have less th an one-tenth of the tillable land of th e earth ’s surface iinder cultivation, and w e n o t only have this surplus area to draw on but lit is safe to estim ate th a t in case of •dire necessity one-haJf • th e earth's ■population could at th e presen t tim e block their living out of th e trees i of the forest, gather it from w ild !vines and draw it from stream s. No !one should become alarm ed; th e !world will never starve. The consumer has alw ays feared that the producer w ould n o t supply him and Mb fright has found expres­ sion on the statute books of o u r states and nations and th e farm er h as been urged to produce recklessly and w ith­ out reference to a m arket, and regard­ less of the demands of th e consum er. Back to the Soil. The city people have been urging' each other to move back to. th e farm , ’but very few of them hav e m oved. [We welcome our city cousins .back to the soil and this earth’s surface con­ tains 16,092,160,000 idle acres of till­ able land where they can m ake a living by tickling th e earth w ith a ,forked stick, but w e do n o t need them :Bo far as increasing production is con­ cerned; we now have all th e producers we can use. The city m an has very erroneous ideas of agricultural condi­ tions; The commonly accepted theory that we are short on production is al! wong. Our annual increase in pro­ duction far exceeds th a t of o u r in­ crease in population. The World as a Farm. Taking the world as one big farm , Te flnd two billion acres of land in cultivation.

A Spanish grandee OHce observedthat all royal and noble SpaBiHrds agreed that the public was' an asB and should be ridden. The only point upon which disagreement was possible was who should occupy the saddle. ■ All special interests agree that the Ameriean press is an ass, but there is no disagreement about who shall ride it. The various interests are in hearty agreement that every­ one who has jaeed of free advertis­ ing, or “publicity” as it is called, shall make free and unlimited use of the news columns. Itts due to the folly of the yress that the bur Ien of free advertising has been Iotg and patently borae. It is rime, surely, to rebel, says the Louisville Courier-Journal in a recent editorial. The interest of the newspaper as a business enter prise; the conscience of the press as a gatherer and distributor of news; the reasonable demand of the reader that advertising Bhall bear, a label, are influences which should combine to put an end to the riding of the ass by everybody who wants “publicity.” Even the riders are beginning tnauy of them, to grasp the fact that they have made inordinate de Hands upon good nature.

Mr Gifford Pinnhot has preached the funeral sermoin for the Nation­ 'll Progressive party, and -turns from it as a thing dead buried, be­ yond resurrection; The real trouble with the Progressive party was its abandonment of principles Degen erating from these to platitudes.it because a personal faction and fol lowed a shallow middle of the road course which led it out of. exist­ ence. ' Abandoning the real issues, the Progressive party, in Mr. Pin chot’s opinon, “cbnte&ted itself with a series of unobjectional re­ forms, supjposediy adapted to vote getting from all' qna'rtrs;’’ Therein Pinchot revealed tie true cause of the perishing from Iha / fields of politics of the Peogresme party. Triuiming sails to eatci' votes has been the undoing of the so called Progressives iu" Uorth Carolina. It has been denionstrated that the people cannot be caught by vote- getting schemes. Pinchot has been satisfied by this expeirenc that under existing conditions there is no place in this country for a third party, and no dou*>t coming events are going to juBtify this opinion. In North Carolina, at least, the outlook is that third party subter­ fuges will have no place in the campaign, but it will be a fight be­ tween the old-line Republicans and the old-line Democratic parties.

With the assistance of our friends in this city, if nothing unforeseen prevents, we propose to have a three day street fair in Mocksville next year, a fair that will benelit every farmer in Davie county, and a fair that everybody in the county will be proud to participate in. There will be no gambling, no horse racing, betting or fakirs attached to the fair, but there will be legitimate premiums for everything the farmer raises, for all kinds of live stock, poultry, fruits and vegetables; for preserves, cakes, jellies, fancy work of all kinds; a baby show, and many innocent amusements. Committees from every township in the county will be appointed to assist in getting up this big street fair, and the peo­ ple of Davie will be treated to the best and biggest time they have ever had. Atleastten thousand people will be present every day of the fair, and the old folks will never forget the three days so long as they live. The Record is going to work this fair up from a solid rock foundation, and asks all who are in sympathy with the movement to drop us a card or a letter telling us of the fact. Old Daviehasslumbered long enough, and with the assistance of our big bunch of friends in the county, we are going to wake her up.

Ate lle r m a s t fu rn is h an a c c u ra te lis t A Letter From Advance. Mr. Editon--The 1914 off year election has passed into history and instead of the Republican party be­ing dead and buried, (as the Demo cratic party would have you believe according to their prophesies in .1912 just after election,) it shows itseu to be a patent factor in American politics. The party has a most won­derful vitality, without funds to run the Republican Bureau of informa­tion, the party regained its old time prestige in Gonneticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and many other states that had been Republican prior to 1912. You will find by an analysis of the sitoa tion that very few states made a strenious fight for the Republican party, yet naturally the people turn­ ed their faces toward the party that has written the history of this coun­try for the last 50 years, one who reads aright cannot fail to interpret the signs of the times, the country is swinging rapidly toward the Re­ publicans, with no organization to speak of as I said in the beginning, the Republicans reduced a Demo­ cratic majority in the House from 145 to 23, fortunate for our party that it did not get control of Con­ gress, let Mr. Wilson have unlimited power to carry out Democratic pro- poganda and the definition of Demo­ cratic rule will be the same it has always been. Democracy and hard times are synonimou3 terms. The writer is by no means a pesimiatbut the most favorable indication of a panic and hard times is the tramp of the unemployed. Never a day passes but we see a number of tramps pass­ing our place looking for work, some- thingjto eat and a shelter to protect them through . the nights. What’s the matter? Six months ago a Demo­ crat would tell you that it will be impossible for a panic like the one under Grover Cleveland to occur now from the fact that Congress had passed a currency law establishing a Regional Bank system that would prevent the moneyed class to bring on a financial depression. I hear it from certain sources now that the claim has shifted from the European war to the big moneyed interest of the North; that thev have drawn in their money. There is just as much reason in this argument as there is in the contention that the reason cot- i on is low ip on account of the war on the othejr side of the Continert and the reason .^hy the high cost ot living is also du^to the war across . ■ •' ' *- Vii . Horry Hasn’t Just Talked Diversi­ fication; She Has Tried It. Progressive Farmer. Mr. W. S. McCaskill, of Horry county, S. C., sends us a drawing which we wish we could reproduce. It shows a prosperons-looking farm- er sitting beside an overflowing corn crib with fat porkers all a- round him. To a neighbor who ealls to him in great alarm, ‘‘Cotton is only seven cents a pound,” his reply is ‘‘How abont hog and hominy I ’ In sending the cartoon Mr. McCaskill gives an intertesting glimpse of a section whose people have not merely talked diversifica­ tion but have actually practiced it. He says: “The enclosed picture is an al­ most perfect illustration of present conditions here in Horry county. Weplantfor money cotton, tobaeco, strawberries and truck crops and could Sacrifice the whole of either and not be financially demoralized —could live over the effects in a year. A bigger per cent of our farmers own their homes than in probably any other eounty in the country. Publieworks have (for­ tunately) taken the Negro out of our rural regions, so the jolly red­ faced bands of boys and girls ex­ change work in the tobacco and strawberry seasons and it all gets done. To stay out of bad debts is a time-honored rule with us, hand ed down through the generations, and no legislation is necessary here to reduce cotton acreage when con ditiOBS demand it.” How a Union Lounty Rabbit Sassed The Gunners. Monroe Journal. Messrs. John Lathan, DickHelms and others went on a big rabbit hunt on Thanksgiving. The car­ ried enough firearms for German field battery. When they found a rabbit sitting in its bed, they. de ployed, skirmished, flanked, and surrounded poor bunny and felt perfectly sure that they had him securely within the toils, but stop­ ped to hold a council of war before opeuiug lire on him. The first de cision was ,that since they had the game so securely surrounded they would not shout him as he sat, but would let him have a chance to run. Perhaps they would not have been so magnanimous had they not felt so certain they had him as good as killed. Yarionsplansofcapture were discussed, but it was finally agreed that Mr. Rabbit should be encircled by the gunners, scared op, and fired upon only after the word had been given. Everybody got ready to shoot and one man walked up to bunny and pushed him out of bed. Instead of taking to his heels at onee he sat down, looked around at the crowd as much as to say, “ Well, this crowd would surely take candy from an infant.” He refused to run. He seemed to want to argue the question and make the crowd ashamed of itself. Finally, when the hunters began to get vexed at the perversity of the game, up jumped Brother Rabbitand burnt the wind. There was an awful popping and banging from the guns as he left, but nobody touched a hair. I The Limit.

The penalties are $50 fine or thirty days on the roads or both—and the Ghanees are that a. man who can tell a fortune will keep away from Kinston. Well, why not! We all know that the fortune telling business has been overworked. We know that some people are possessed with with an occult power; that there is such a thing as “mind reading” but why should a man pay a fel low-a dollar to read his mind. If I know that a hat cost me three dollars why should I give some hungry fellow with long hair and a supernatural look a five dollar bill to tell me what I already knew. If these men could read the future; if they eould be instructive or give us a tip worth while, then the more merrier. But they never do this. The same with the spiritualist. We have seen some wonderful work done by the mediums—but after all it was work that did good to no one—except the reader who pocket­ ed the fee. It is our notion, just off hand, that Kinston did a good day’s work when she concluded that she would protect her people.

From stage robbery, highway man, gambler and all-around erook to the peaceful profession of a painting contractor and the leader of a gospel team making a crusade against trashy novels is a long cry. But-Robert H. Burton, ot Hntchin son, has had just this experience, and he has paid the penalty for his thirty-five years spent as a bandit. “It was the dime novel, with its lurid accounts of the deeds of the Texas cowboys and the wild ..,west, that led me astray,” said Burton. “Now I am trying to point out to the boys the folly of cards and booze and bad company,” The story of Bob Burton’s Jife reads like a romance.

Extravagance of the Past Has to Be Atoned For by the Democratic Party—Wise Statesmanship Now Necessary. The extravagance of the long ses­ sion w ill not, of course, be repeated by the short. N ot only had the Demo­ cratic party violated its platform prom ises, but it had in som e item s pal­ pably gone beyond the needs of the governm ent. Som ething, however, w as to be at­ tributed to a lack of inform ation on the part of those voting the supplies. They had been m isled by a yarn th at th e Republicans had been w asting three hundred m illions a year. It was on the > strength of th at th e prom ise a t Baltim ore about economy had been made. W hen the D em ocrats took charge of th e purse they discovered both their error and their duty. No such Repub­ lican w aste had taken place, and hence so such retrenchm ent as had been prom ised could be m ade. They found th at large appropriations w ere neces­ sary, and m ade them . B ut in th eir in­ experience they m ade them too large, and soon found them selves swamped. T he only saving w as forced by a Re­ publican—Senator Burton—who, with a long fork, took all th e pork out of the pork barrel. But th e Baltim ore platform is no longer seriously considered. It is now only a sm ile-provoker. E ven its au­ thors share in the general am usem ent. The Democracy is advised today of w hat the governm ent needs, of w hat 'I t should have, and of w hat the re­ sources are. W hile th e long session sw elled ap­ propriations beyond all previous rec­ ords, it would be a m istake fo r the short session to reduce them to a star­ vation size. T hat would not be econo­ my, but the reverse—not business, but a m ere political play. T here should be no pork-barrel features in any of the supply bills, as, for th a t m atter, there never should be. It has n o t been neces­ sary for the wiax to teaeh us th at. W e knew it before. B ut our governm ent is on a large scale, and rapidly grow ing, and those to whom it has bteen Cammitted should support it generously. The cheese- parer Ib not an econom ist, and som e­ tim es not a patriot, an d his advice a t this tim e possesses fa r less th an its average sm all im portance. Labor Not. Benefited. The federal reserve law took ac­ count of th e central bank plan of the Republicans and em bodied enough of the features of th e R epublican pro­ gram to give elem ents of recom m en­ dation to the m easur e, while perm it­ ting entirely too m uch of political m anipulation to enteJr into it. It is an experim ental law fo r which all who w ant the country t o prosper w ish well, but which has vicious features th at have tim e and 'again been pointed out. The federal trad e comm ission law and the C lacton law have been ana­ lyzed by for/.ner P resident T aft in non- partisan sp irit and show n to be ju st so m uch p.f additional statu tes to ' the general burden of law , w ithout having supplem ented the Sherm an law in a.ny advantageous way.

Well, why eotne women are widows before they get the matri­ monial paint and power worn oJ|F their fire, is no longer a mystery to this scribe. TSJhile riding on a train recently, a bright eyed, frisky little woman took a seat just behind me. She could out talk a Victor graphs phone, and every woid was polish­ ed with brilliancy. Shehadasait ease and a hat box. Only a short time elapked before she advised ms that she waB a young widow, her husband hav ing peaceably entered the henoe beyond. By the time the train had moved out from the station she insisted on counting her suit ease and hat box. She counted. There was just: two. I counted and made no more nor less. Then she wanted her parasol put into the raek, and her coat folded up and hat box counted a- gain. I counted it. There whs just exactly one hat box of it. As the train glided along she wanted to know if I was snre she was on the right train to Greens­ boro. I was sore. Then she want ed her snit case counted. I count­ ed it once more. By this time she wanted a window up, and asked me if it wasn’t really a hot day. I mid it was. Then she felt for her money, tho she was sure Bhe had lost it. While counting her money, ihe told me of her sister, in going west ten years ago lost three dol lars. She wound up the story by iBking me if it. wasn’t a hot day* [ said it was. Then she wanted (hat confounded hat box counted, again and I counted him. He was" still one hat box. - She paused long enough to get a long breath, aBd then she wanted a drink. I got'it for her. Then (he wanted to know if we were on the right road to GreenBboro. I assured her that I was positive of the fact. The porter then sailed out a station so indistinctly that she wanted me to go and see what the name really was. I went. It wasDonnaha. She wanted to.know if I was sure that it was Donhaha, and I held up my hand and assnr ed her that I would vote the Democratic ticket sooner than de­ ceive her. By this time she .wanted her Buit case counted, and I count­ ed ’er. She figured up as before. I had just finished eonnting when she wanted to know if I diden’t think it was a hot day. I told her I did. Then ehe wanted to know if I was snre we were on the right road to Greensboro. I told her that I hoped to perish with political liars if we were not, and she was satisfied. Then her pooble followed the conductor out of the car, and she asked me to get it back. I chased that little tour-legged bunch of hair thru every coach from the baggage car to the rear,: but finally succeeded in landing her beloved pooble in her presence. Then the window had to go down. The hat box was counted again and he was just one. Then the window went up and she, asked me, if in my opinion it wasn’t a hot day. I re­ plied that it was. During that day I counted that hat box three hundred times, raised the window twenty-six times, said it was hot till my tongue was blis teredM got her sixteen drinks of water, and eoqnired tho names ot stations.

Why These “War Taxes?” Union Republican. The “war taxes” of the Admin­ istration went into full effect only a short time ago. Ina period of profound peace the people of the U nited States are asked to pay a “ war tax” of over a hundred mil­ lion dollars a year. It is properly called a “war tax” beeause tt is that form Of taxations on all the mere common forms of business, travel and investment which here­ tofore has never been levied except to supply the Government neces sities in war. ' The depressing of the European war on revenue is the excuse given for this tax. but the direct influence of the war does not at sill instify a Bpeeial tax of this magnitude. The resources of the Government have run low mainly beeause of the extravagent expendi­ ture authorixed by Congress and carried out by the Administration and in addition ,blundering tarriff Ihw purposeiy made low to stifisn- late the importation of foreign goods is not yielding the revenue which the Gevernmet repnires and the farmers of the measure expect ed. Thisbeiog so Congress before venturihgto adjoirh had to find new sources of taxation which have Mrs. McClain’s Experience With Croup. 1W hen my boy, Ray, w as sm all he was subject to croup, and ! w as always alarm ­ ed a t such tim es.

The treasure statement shows teat for the five months of the pres­ ent fiscial year up to November 23 the Goverment expenditure has ex ^eeded its iueomeby $70,000,000. Thfere has been a steady falling affofineome and as steady an in­ crease of expenditure in many forms. Thought there was every reasons in decreasing receipts for practicing economy and eutting off expenditure; there is no evidence of a BingiVfeffqrt in that direction. It was more agreeable for those in power to impose new taxes on the people. A large book of 779 pages show­ ing all appropriations in detail made; by the present Congress has j ust been issued. It is an official publication-and it shews that ap­ propriation of this Congress Were $1,116,118,138, the largest on re­ cord and just $81,000,000 more than the estimated revenue for 1914. Contraets for $40,000,000 in addition were authorized. Had not the BepnblieSBB compelled a out of $30,000,000 in the Rivers and Harbors bill the showing would have been that much worse. The country is reaping ia this way the benefit of Democratic administra tion which has its necessary result the heavy ‘ war taxes’“ that the peopWare now compelled to pay. Your Celd Is Dangerous.

It isapeaah Find SI to renew my subscription. ‘ Keep up the fight for better government Houston has the bread line, Dallas has a public seup house, Port Worth is feeding the idle, while niy town is helping her idle song get a wee liv­ ing.” Does this sound like Demo­ cratic prosperity? NOTICE TO OUR SUBSCRIBER. The editor wishes to announce • to the friends and patrons of The Re, cord, that while no paper will be issued next week, he will be in the office every day during the > holiday! and would be glad for all who arc behind with their subscriptions tr call and renew -and for those wh< are not now taking the paper, teeal and subsciril}©.; !New subscription books are being drawn off, and wc are anxious for all who are behinc to call; or send us their renewal now NO PAPER NEXT WEEK. For many years it has been oui custom to miss an issue of The Re­ cord during the holidays. The ides may be old and fogy, but it is onf that we have been taught to observe since first we went into a newspaper - office nearly a quarter of a century ago. Theeditorand devil need rest, and we sometimes think our readers need the rest as much or more than we. During the fifty-two weeks of the year our paper has to be printed on time, in sunshine or in rain, in sickness or in health. While others can take vacations to the mountains or the seashore, we have to retrain at our post. We wish to thank all1 our friends for their patronage during the past year, and solicit a continuance of the same.- The merchants, the farmers, ttie mechanics, and all those who have Helped us with advertising, sub­ scriptions or printing, havei our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, together with those who have not patronized us: Sb any manner. To the few who have done all they could to starve us ' to death and run us out the county we have only the best of geod wishes for, and only take time to remark in passing that God reigns and The Re­ cord still lives. Our next issue wil] appear Jan: 1915. Some Holiday Visitors.

London, Dec. #.<5;—England today ] first time in centuries, when a squad­ ron of swift German cruisers crept through the fog and bombarded three important towns with the break of day, hostile squadron es­ caped after encounter with coast guard vessels in which neither side suffered t® any extent. Hartlepool, at the mouth of the Tees; Whitby thirty-five miles .southward, and Scarborough, fifteen miles beyond Whitby were the towns bombarded London Dec. 16 —The raid of the Germanwarships on the northern coast ef England; their escape in the fog after bombarding Scarborough Hartlepool and Whitby, where number of persons were killed, and wounded and damage was done to property, overshadowed the land op­ erations in the European war today Cbarged Witb Buirgiary. Gray Lakey, of Clarksville, was brought to Mocksville Wednesday and lodged in jail, charged with breaking into J. C. Booe’s store. He was given a hearing before Square Belk, and failing to give bond, was placed in jail to await February court. Mr. Booe sleeps in his store, and some time during the night he heard some one trying to enter the store. He got up and begged the unseen party to leave, but the man removed some of the window panes and affected an entrance. About $4 was taken. This is a sad affair and is to be deplored by all who are con­ cerned. ' Some Big Hogs. F. A. Naylor, of Smith Grove, kill­ ed two 12-months-old hogs last week that weighed 451 and 420 pounds re­ spectively, making a total of 871 Rounds; Mr. Naylor wants to know who can beat that. Wehave found the beater and his name is Hill. J. L. Hill, of near Cana, killed two 10- months-old pigs a few days age that weighed 437 and 463 pound?, making a total of 900 pounds. These were full blooded Duroc Jersey pigs. We wait to hear from others Davie County Teacbers Association. TheDavie County Teachers As­ sociation met at the Mocksville grad­ ed school building, November 14, 1914. The following officers were elected for the coming year: President—Mr. H. H. McKeowan1 Mocksville, N. G. Vice-Presideiil — Mr. G B. Wet- more, Advance, N. C. Secretary-“ Miss Rosa Tatum, Cooleemee, N. C. The association voted unanimously to hold a County Commencement in the Spring, and at the meeting De­ cember 12,1914. the teachers were very enthusiastic over the commen­ cement, and plans are being made to hold this commencement on Eas­ ter Monday. We are planning to make this a great day for education in Davie county. Thesubject of *4 Moonlight Schools’ was suggested by our superintend­ ent as a great opportunity offered teachers to help oar people vyho for various reasons arfe unable to attend the day schools. Many states have already adopted these night schools and they are proving a great b ing to humanityV Afteraverylively discussion the association voted unanimously to give this matter their serieur con­sideration. Quite a number of teachers have already decided to organize a night school in their dis­ trict, and we wish them much suc- ces. Miss R osa T atum , Secretary.

W ith the coming of th e changes !contem plated in the dwelling house a t 2411 P ennsrlvania avenue there will •pass aw ay one of the few buildings ‘rem aining out of those built in the 'early part of the last century near W ashington circle, w hen it was the 'center of the diplom atic residential quarter. It w as in this house th at the B ritish legation to the infant Ameri­ can republic had its first hom e—a hom e m odest enough, w hen judged by Ithe standards of today, but a mansion of superior dignity in those tim es when m easured by the raw and unsightly !dwelling houses th at first m arked the ,capital. It was In this house th at the poet, Thom as Moore, stayed tvhen, in May, 1805, he visited th e city as th e guest of Mr. M erry, then the B ritish m inis­ te r to the U nited States. It is to be regretted th a t th e visit of the great Irish bard was not a pleasant one, either for th e visitor or th e visited. Indeed, every possible adverse circum stance seem s to have combined to render th a t visit an un­ com fortable one. Tom Moore, a t th at tim e, w as the darling of the London draw ing room s, petted by th e ladies and patronized by the lords; and the head of the em otional young Irishm an w as swim m ing w ith th e adulation paid him by those titled personages, to whom, b at a few years before, he, as a sim ple Irish lad, had looked up to. H e was in love w ith elegance and aristocracy and exclusiveness; hence, he found nothing congenial in the dem ocracy and th e free-and-easy m an­ n ers of W ashington society in the ad­ m inistration of Jefferson. Furtherm ore, Mr. M erry was an ec­ centric fellow, w ith an exaggerated idea of his ow n im portance in the schem e of B ritish national affairs. This w eakness it delighted Jefferson to play upon to th e top of his bent. W hen the m inister calked, decked out In gold and lace—and feeling him self, In fact, as he w as in theory, the B rit­ ish crqwn itself—the president took pains to. receive him in an old and tattered dressing gown and slippers th at flapped a t the heele. T his last seem s to have been especially pain­ ful to M erry, who realty played into th e political hands of the president b y . sending hom e agonized protests against B ritish gold face being re­ ceived by A m erican hom espun. M oreover the city w as, a t th at tim e, overrun by patriotic Irishm en who had escaped from the revolution In their own land and fled to th is hom e of the free. These had * engendered even a m ore bitter sentim ent against Eng­ land and all things E nglish am ong the people of th e capital. It w as good politics, too, to hate everything B rit­ ish, and the adm inistration encour­ aged the feeling. Into such an unhappy and uncon­ genial atm osphere it wan th a t Tom Moore cam e in th e spring of 1805—a household hating and hated by every­ thing Am erican. Even before Moore had m et a single souf in th e city he had his opinions already cut o ut for him.

Woodpile Wilson’s uncle, up in New Jersey, has got a bad rising on the back of his neck. The doc tor who is attending on the old man says the rising is the direct result of the European war. One of William Jawbone Bryan’s beit Jersey cows died on his Ne­ braska farm last Thutsday evening. No blame attaches to the Demo eratic party, as it is well kuown that the war caused the cow’s death. While dressing for a White House reception two weeks ago yesterday, Senator Williams, of Mississippi, swallowed a bone col- lar-bntton, which lodged in bis wiad-pipe and has given him a good deal of trouble ever since. The matter was referred to the Sen -»te Committee op Foreign Affairs ind it was soon discovered that the Rn Quinine That Ooes Not Affeot The Head Bacanse of its toaic and laxative effect, LAXA­TIVE BROMO QUlNINEis better than ordinary Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor ringing in head.

The wart is an outgrowth of the Var and will doubtless go away when the war stops.
