WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER I. 1915 NUMBER 7 IN LI State Assuredly With Republican Party- . people of the W est Recognize the Ne cessity of Placing the Government In the Hands o f Capable Statesmen. Representative-elect Charles R. Tim- berlakfi of Sterling will be the only Iiopiililican member of the Colorado delegation in the next house, but that is one better for the Republicans than Ilie present representation. Mr. Tlmberlake was elected to succeed Representative Seldomridge. ••It doesn’t make any difference about what we did in the congression al elections," says Mr. Tim berlake. •'Colorado next y'ear will be found in the Republican column without the ehndow of a doubt. It is true the Democrats elected three m em bers ot the house and a United States sena tor. but there were local conditions that had a large influence. The fact lbal (he stale is Republican is shown by the flection of every state officer save one, the state senate and house. In my judgment, we shall turn the Pemocrats completely out of power next year. There is dissatisfaction among the people due to disapproval of the slate and national adm inistra tions. We in Colorado have no pa tience with the policies advocated and pushed by the administration in W ash ington. Free sugar does not set well, nor does the attitude of the adm in istration In its foreign policy, aad its general economic program. Had it not been for unusual conditions there is no doubt Colorado would have elect ed a Republican United States sena tor last November. Business In the ■state has not been good, but it is im proving some. The state once m ore lias assumed sovereignty In the labor troubles, and I believe we shall set tle this matter soon. In m ost of the mining districts where there w ere Btrlkes operations have been resinned, Wiere Is every prospect th a t the 1 industry will get busy again soon." The Troable of Politics. We read in the esteemed New Bern Journal this editorial para graph which we feel furnishes as a text worth the consideration of all thoughtful readers. The Journal What Free Sugar Will Mean.

We have seen one issue of the rag and don’t care to see any more, as one dose of such rot is enough, W epredictforit the same fate (bat befell the almost forgotten Tar Heel which sprung up in the days of Spencer Black burn, which ate up several thous and dollars in good bard cash and then went up in a puff of hot air. Our only predictions is that it will last but one fourth the time that the Tar Heel breathed the breath of life. Mr. Gilliam Grissom, a most de sirable citizen—a man of education and refinement; a graduate of our State,University; a native of North Carolina, is a republican. Not an office seeking republican; not a spell binder; not a trouble maker —but a republican from principle. And be it known that some of the best citizens in this state are re publicans, 36 are some of the best citizens in the United States. The fact that a man is a republican doesn’t in any way disqualify him for citizenship of the best. Down here in the one time “solid south” the republican party, be cause of its reconstruction acts; because of many things happily buried in a past age, did Dot fnr uish the highest type of citizen ship—and yet even in the darkest days thsre were loyal republicans —and Gilliam Grissom's father was oneoftbeni. Mr. Gilliam Grissom thinks the Protection idea the proper one, and ia this he is not alone. Hun dreds of the state’s largest manu- ficturers, men who vote the dernd' cratic ticket in city and county and stale elections go to the polls and vote for Protection, That was why Taft, in this Congressional district, received a majority of six hundred over W. J. Bryan. Mr. Gilliam is not writing rot. i His paper is not a rag. It is pub- J lished quarterly, and solicits no advertisements; is priuted purely as an educational proposition and is wliat you might call a personally conducted periodical. The Tar Heel was a newspaper enterprise —the Protectiouist is not. It is an immaterial thing whether it re ceives advertisements or subscrib* I era. It is printed and sent out and and thejpostage paid. Being print ed but four times a year it can run indefinitely—there is no danger of any puff of hot air causing it to explode.'^ The Journal is mistaken about the Protectionist being a “mud slinging” sheet. If ever there was a “far” publication, that pudIica- tion is Gilliam Grissom’s Protect ionist. VVe fear the editor of the Journal did uot understand. We are iutlined to believe he wants to be fair—we have found his paper so—but we feel ha has written things concerning Mr. Grissom’s publication not justified by facl?, and therefore we respectlully call his attention to it. If we will all allow every man the right to his opioniou; if we will oil exhibit a broad spirit of toler 'unce; if we will all undertake -to discuss the questions before the people, a lid noo abuse and not dis miss argument by calling it “ rot” —perhaps we will all reach a bet ter concluB.M>n. T he republic*!! party is a pari.v of standing.- Sois the democratic p.vty, On the tariff these two parties >ve divided. We agree with neither- of them... Vo I ielieve that the tariff ia a local and a , business proposition and should be treated in the same manner as our currency question is treated. $60,000 M orefor Good Road* In Snrry Coonty. Westfield and Shoals townships have each voted by good majorities $30,000 in bonds to build graded, sandclay roads. Mount A iry township has invested $100,000 in good roads during the past 18 months. Since April seven Sorry county townships have voted bonds for road improvement, aggregating 8195,000. Bryan an<l Marsh will hold elections during the next 30 days and it is expected that these progressive towuships will together add $60,000 to investment in per manent roads. The Sinfol Printer. Uoobserved and unannounced the president of a Church Society entered the composing room just in time to hear the words issue from the mouth of the boss printer: “ Billy, go the devil and tell him to finish that ‘murder’ he began this morning. Then ‘kill Wm. J. Bryan’s Youngest Grandchild,’ and dump the ‘Sweet A ngel of Mercy’ into the hellbox. Then make up that ‘Naughty Parisian Actress’ and lock up ‘The Lody in Her Boudoir.-' ” Horrified, the good woman fied from that place of sin, and now her children wonder why they are not allowed to play with the print er’s youngster. If our readers will drop in we’ll explain away the horriblenesB of the printer’s words.—Old Fort Sentinel. A WINSTON-SALEM INTERVIEW Mr. Lehman Tell* H is Experience. The following brief account of an inter view with a Winston-Salem roan seven vears ago. and its sequel, will be read with keen interest by every citizen. P. T. Lehman, justice of peace. 906 Trade St., Winston-Salem, N. C., says: "My kidneys were irregular in action. I also had soreness across the small of my back and my system seemed to be filled with uric acid. Doan's Kidney Pills regu lated the action of my kidneys and the kidney secretions cleared up.” (State ment given December 27th, 1907.) OVER SIX YEARS LATER. Mr. Lehman said: “If I should ever have to take a kidney medicine again, I wouldn’t consid er any other than Doan's Kidney Pills.” Price SOc. at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kid ney Pills—the same that Mr. Lehman had. Foster-Milbum Co., Props., Buffalo. N.Y. We believe that a non partisan tariff commission should settle the tariff question—the same as our state Corporation Commission set tles other tax questions. Thetatiff is nothing in the world but a tax —a tax *o secure revenues to run the government. It it is proper to protect our industries against im portation of cheap labor made goods, the democrat is as much in terested as the republican. All citizens are interested ,in the wisest way to accomplish this one o jeet. By putting the tariff into politics we have made it a joke. For in^ stance we were told that a Iowv tariff would reduce the high cost ot living. It didn’t do it. Kothing is cheaper to the ultimate consumer. We are now enjoying a war tax— and yet our exports are greater than ever in the history of the world. The imports are Iess on account of the war—but a tariff is already admitted to be essential. Oemocrats are now saying they will restore the tariff on sugar and perhaps on wool, aB a “ revenue measure”—and if on those two articles, why not on other things! Ultimately the tariff will be re vised—and that by a democratic addHnistration it Mr. Wilson is re elected. Mr. Grissom is for protection.

Joe Reece, eiitor of the Greensboro Record, the State looses one of her most brilliant writers and brainiest men. A subscriber wants to know if a man can be a gentleman and not own an automobile. It all depends on who you ask a3 to what the answer will be. The European war has been in progress for more than a year and the biggest .thing that has been ac complished was to turn that whole country into a cemetery. Germany wants to be friendly with the United States and there will be no trouble between the two countries if no attention is paid to the few jingos who are always trying to start something. Teddy says the time for talk is past and we should now give Ger many the worst flogging she ever had. Suppose we should attempt such a feat and get flogged. We be lieve in "Safety First.” A big headline in Thursday ’sCha - lotte Observerreads thusly: “Farm ers want high price for cotton.” Anv fool knows the farmers want a high price for their cotton, and most a'l the fools and sensible folks too, know that they will not get it this year. Does anyone believe that the as sassins who lynched Leo Frank w ill ever be caught and brought to jus tice? With the whole story out it seems that the officers could get a few of the leaders if they wanted them. The state has been disgraced and shame will rest upon her unt I the guiity have be- n broi g’lt to justice. Lightning Kills Widow Lady. The electrical storm and heavy- downpour of rain did considerable damage in Charlotte Friday moui- ing. Mrs. Esther McLean, a widow Iadv residing in the Louise Mill vil lage on .Williams street, was struck b/ lightning and instantly killed and her daughter, who was standing in the hall nearby, was so severely shocked. as to be rendered unconsci ous for some time. Streets were Hoodedand drains stopped up to such an extent that several localities in the city, notably near 301 North Popular street were flooded for sev eral hours. ' High Water Does Much Damage. The August freshet arrived about on time, and as a result thousands of bushels of corn and other cror s in the county have oeen lost. Ail of the streams were high Friday and Saturday. Dutchman creek w as nearly as high as it has ever been and all bottom crops were wiped out. The rivers did much damage also. Some of the mail carriers could not make their rounds. And May His Tribe Increase! Asa Candler. t.he Atlanta capital ist, is leading the way in, the direc tion of Southern independence and is setting an example which, should it develop followera.in a few other Southernpoints of importance, would set the South, care-free, so far as contraband cotton is concerned. Can dler has bought a lot in proximity to freighting facilities and fs putting half a million dollars into the erec tion of a warehouse that will take care of 200,000 bales of cotton. On cotton stored in Gandler’s warehouse money will be advanced on a basis of sjven centra pound. A dozen &nen like Candler could make the South as solid ap a rock. They could place the Souiherni planter in position where he would not be a beggar for a fair price, but on the contrary, would be hearing the world beggiog for his cotton. Now is a good time for an increase in the Candler tribe. —Charlotte Observer. Several Bridges Damaged. The high water Friday damaged several bridges in the county, among: them being the new. wooden bridge across Bear creek on the Jericho road, Brown’s bridge across Dutch man creek, and a bridge across L<sha creek on the Mud Mill road. One end of the Bear creek bridge was damaged and the LiJia creek bridge was washed around. There may be more bridges damaged that we have not heard of up to this time. To College Girls And Boys.

Berlin, Aug. 29 — ViaLondon-The Austro-German troops have broken the Russian lines along the Zlota Lipa River in EastGalicia, resuming activity on a section of the front where for a long time both sides have been merely holding their posi tions. The Russian extreme left, hitherto unaffected by the general deft a , now apparently is shaken. Military experts here believe the Russians soon will be expelled from their remaining little corner of Gali- cia. This development, together with a sharp advance by the Aus- trians northeast of Kovel is believed here to indicate the opening of a campaign against the fortress tri angle formed by the strongholds of Lutzk, Dubno and Rovno, erected as a bar to access to Southern Russia. First Year’s Cost of The War. The first year of the war has cost the belligerent goveanments about $16,500,OOGtOOO in direct expendi tures for military purposes. Ex perts agree fairly well on these figures. T h e Berlin Vorwaerts finds the total «16,676,130,000; the French economist Kdmond Thery «17,400,000 000; and (he statisti can, William Michaelis, of Berlin «15,240,000,000, This is the expense of patting aboat 9,000,000 men ioto the field for the central powers, and about 13,000,000 for the allies. It does not include, however, the tar greater amount lost through the destruction of towns and vil- lages, the razing ot the country side, the wrecking of bridge* and railroads and the wholesale sinking of ships aud the economic Iosb through the diminution in prodnc tive industry, the killing of the strongest men in the community and the creation of a class of crip ples and madmen. The war is now costing about «45,000,000 a day, «2,000,000 an hour aqd «3j>,000a minute.. The cost is mounting e eadily. War is worse than bell—It beats bell. Hart Io Runaway. J Arthur Daniel, rural letter car rier on Route'2, was painfully in jured in a runaway accident Thurs day morning at Cana. While driv ing along the road a horse belonging to Boyce Cain became frightened and ran away with a buggy. Mr. Daniel saw the runaway coming and got as for out of the road as possible, but the horse ran into his buggy knocking him out and tearing up both buggies. Mr. Daniel was rend ered unconscious for some time. He was injured about the head and one leg was bruised up considerably and' his back was also hurt. He was brought home and a substitute car rier sent out. His many friends will be glad to learn that he is getting along fine and will soon be on his job again. Booght First Bale. Monroe, Aug. 23.—Messrs. J. M. Fairley & Sons, cotton brokers of this place, bought the first bale of North Carolina grown cotton at Morven, Anson county, Friday. The bale weighed 418 pounds and brought 8 3-4 cents a pound. Cotton buyers of this section are very optimistic concerning the mar keting of this year’s crop. Practi cally all of them state that cotton will bring more this year than last, notwithstanding England’s recent cintraband order. Do yon take your Home Paper? Cana News. Bro.

CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO! STOP! MAKES YOD SICK AND SALIVATES “Dcdsoi’s Uwr Tom” is HaiiDiess To den Ynr Sloggisli Uwr and TJgh! Calomel makes yon sick. Ifs horrible! Take a dose of*the dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose Sday1Swork. Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes' necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it conies into contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking i t up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are slug gish and “all knocked out,” if your liver is- torpid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s liv er Tone tonight on my guarantee. Here’s my guarantee—Go to any drug store and get a 50 cent bottle of Dod son’s Liver Tone. Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine:, entirely vege table, therefore it can nob salivate or make you sick. I guarantee that one spoonful of Dod son’s Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated waste which is clogging your system and mak ing you fee! miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. I t is harmless: doesn’t gripe add they like its pleasant taste.

Z iW - ^ Every citizen who deslreB to become capable Is business should study banking, and ervery fanner who wants to see the business of agriculture properly financed should study diligently the financial systems of other indus tries. All other lines of industry have developed financial facilities adapted to their needs. We have »11 «orts of financial syndicates authorized by law or custom to in a certain line of securities, but In none of these ' cial channels will farm securities travel without a — — in the way of an excessive rate of Interest or heavy dis counts. . .The most powerful financial Institutions In America are private banks and they are the most Important to tlie financial life of Industry. In no Hne of business doe* honesty, efficiency and stability make more imperative demands than upon inrivate bankers, whose greatest aBset is the confidence of the buying public 'in his business judgment and integrity. Mr. Otto Kalui of Kuhn, Loeb & Com pany, when asked to state the relation of the private banker to the business of the nation, said In part: . . . ..“One of the most important functions of the private banker is to ue tne Instrument for providing the money needed for the efficient conduct and development of railroads and other industries. He does this by buying ; securities in bulk from those needing capital, for which purpose he usually associates himself with a large number of other financial bouses, great ana • small, thus forming what is called a syndicate. Having In this way concluded 'the buying transaction he offers to the public the securities purchased by means of advertising, circularizing and through the facilities of tne retail houses Included In the syndicate, many of whom employ traveling salesmen, !of course the banker and the syndicate count on a reasonable profit for their •services; on the other hand they run the risk of the securities, which they ■have definitely bought and paid for at a fixed price, remaning on their hands wholly, or In part, if the public, for one reason or another, should be unwil ling to buy them. Tlie selling of securities Is a highly specializedI trade, !requiring much experience, organization, machinery and scrutiny- Tills W one of the reasons why corporations do better In offering securities to the public through bankers than If they offered them direct. The willingness of the public to buy depends upon their confidence In the Integrity ana the judgment of the banker who makes the offer, and a banker who attempt* to mislead the public, or who is deficient in care or judgment, would very soon And himself without customers and, therefore, out of business. In many I European countries, the functions of the private hanker Include the placing of bonds secured by farm mortgages. Bonds of this nature are issued In large quantities by mortgage banks who buy mortgages on fanrs and other : real estate and deposit them as security for their own bonds, which In tneir turn are sold to bankers. It is to be hoped that similar institutions wlll» In course of tiiue, be created in America, thus placing the farming industry on a par with othei* important industries In facilities to obtain capital BARAa-FHILATHEA COLUMN.

Cassel On Railroads Co-operating W ith'the Farm er Co-operation Is a theme that lends itself most readily to theory but yields stubbornly to practice. It Is easy to Biienk the word but difficult to understand It and more difficult still to practice it AU can be BelflBh but it takes vision to be progressive. The organized farmer bas been preaching co-operation for Io! these many years, but now come the railroads talking co-operation In the language of the soil. A recent paper read by 0. E. Cassel, publicity agent of the Norfolk & Western railway, is so full of horse sense that we reproduce it in part and urge the farmers along that roadway to continued co-operation with the manage ment of the road In all problems of mutual interest:"We are now dealing with two of the most gigantic occupations of men— farming and land transportation. They are the basis of pretty nearly -all (Wealth. AVhen they fail the whole country falls. Therefore, how Important It is that these two should fully understand each other, and work together not only for their own commercial advancement but for the prosperity of the nation. “The farmers and the railways are natural allies in all their Interests. It Is difficult to conceive of greater service to the commonwealth than that of Iirmly fixing in the minds of both the railways and the farmers that they are mutually dependent and that the prosperity of one depends on the prosperity of the other, but that suspicion and misunderstanding destroy the various interests of both. Many of the moBt progressive and far-seeing rail ways have fully recognized this relation and dependence. "In the study of economic conditions in all branches of human endeavor, from the birth of our nation down to within quite recent years, we are astonished at the utter lack of the co-operative principle—the ‘work together' idea—and not only that, but extreme selfishness and purblind prejudice has more apparently dominated in the different branches of trade and other ave nues of enterprise. This was a condition that government could not remedy. No statute law. or even written constitution, can do more than safeguard lhoae inalienable rights of the individual. “The mutual advantages of co-operation and sympathetic understanding are many and varied for both the railway and the farmer. The farmer is peculiarly dependent upon rapid and cheap transportation. His products are always comparatively ,bulky and frequently perishable. The railways ,give farmers a worldwide market for their products. An intelligent under standing of the fundamental Improvement of railway transportation Is essen tial to Ihe prosperity of any agricultural community. -Worldwide and nation wide markets are made possible only by regular and cheap transportation Btich Bb is offered by the railways. “So the farmer may conclude Hiat when he co-operates with the railroads, his most potent allies, he is doing good for himself and much good for hi* ,country " 'While there’re leaves In the forest and foam on the river,’ The farmers and railways shnll flourish forever.” .

How?, Federal Commissioner of Immigra tion, who Ib one of tbe best American authorities on marine commerce, In discussing tbe relation of free ports to the development of sea trade said In part: “Ships will go hundreds of miles out of their way to avoid portB surrounded by a tarl# wall. The only way, therefore, for a country with a tariff to compete In the shipping world with a free-trade country is to establish free ports at strategical points along its coast line. Ger many has done so, and In a comparatively short period has built up a carrying trade which before the war was seriously threatening England’s supremacy. Hamburg, one of the three Oerman free ports, now .ranks as the second greatest seaport In the world, its total foreign commerce In 1913 being only 16,000,000 under j that of New York. I "The free port would offer great opportunity for financial operations, now jmnue possible by t.he recent currency act. It would stimulate International ] banking, and would tend to shift the financial center of the world to this !country. And America, by the logic of events, has become the natural center I for the world’s financing, Just as London became that center several centuries I ago, when It shifted from the cities of the Netherlands. But the financial center will only move to thlB country when It becomes a clearing house of goods as well as of money. For credit the world over Is created by currently created wealth In transit or change so that our financial expansion Is depend ent upon the opening up of American ports to the clearance of the wealth of the world. A port should not operate to yield a Teturn on the Investment, but to develop the prosperity of the country.” In recapitulating the advan tages, Mr. Howe brings out the Importance of the free port In developing our !shipping and linking ue with South America, Asia and Africa, and then concludes: "Themost Important gain Is the direct gain to America. It will cheapen commodities by bringing great quantities of goods to our doors for importa- Ition or export, as trade needs demand. It will stimulate the growth of export- ' Ing houses, which can hold goods for. an Indefinite period w IUiout payment of tariff dupB (often equal to the cost of the article its$tf) cfor disposal to meet lthe trade demands of the whole world. It will upbuild international credit and shift to America an increasing and ultimately a predominant share In International exchange. • “Finally, America Ib the natural country to be the counter of the world. ■ Its seacoaste face every other continent; it is the greatest of alt reservoirs . . . _ . i Ind starI of raw materials and foodstuffs. In Iron and steel ftnd Btandardlxed production it is In a position to compote with the world. But International trade (and this Is always overlooked) must be reciprocal. It cannot be one-sided.

Could not do any of my housework. I also had dreadful pains in my back and sides and when one of those weak, sinking spells would come on me, I would have to give up and Iie down, until it wore off.

Its ingredients have a mild, tonis effect, on the womanly constitution.

' The stoekholders of the Newport Times, having been unexpectedly left in charge ©f the paper, are not laying claims, jost now, to know ing all there is to know about the newspaper business. Perhaps we know better how not to rnn a paper than how to ran one. If we were asked to lay down a few rules on “ how not to run a country paper,” we would include the following: “ Do not abuse every man who differs with you about politics.

Not for getting the sad results of the admin istration’s lack of policy tow ard Mex- [ lco, it must he presumed th at Its chief weakness is the Underwood tariff law, that has made a vacuum In the Treas ury which the Income tax and the spe cial war lax have been unable to till. I Its greatest strength lies In the policy that has thus far preserved the na tion's honor and yet kept It out of the European war. Signs of the mo ment are that the adm inistration, In spite of itself, will be forced to act In Mexico and make am ends for Its past sins of omission. Should this come about, with no vital change in our European relations, the great Is sue of the battle of 1916 will be eco nomic, with only popular approval of !the President's policies Sb be depended iupon to offset the blight of th e tariff ilaw upon the nation’s prosperity. For ;th“ parties are likely to strike an even balance if response is necessary to a demand for preparedness for national ' he is, and, some of them may be close homo. “ II you are criticising the record of a political opponent, a public man or a business rival, you will not strengthen jour cause and by dealing in petty personalities. “ In dealiog with the faults and shortcomings of your feilowman confine yourself within the reason able limits of the truth.

When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is en tirely cltfeed, Deafness is the result, and unldSs the inflanimation -can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine ca Bes out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed conditiou of the mucous surfaces.

It appeared that neither machine was going at any .great speed but Acting JudgeCraigeadjudged Mr. Alexand er guilty and imposed a ten dollar line and costs. Notice of appeal was given. Mr. Curlee was acquitted. Tne tieup of these machines occurred at a point between the car line and tie south curbing, a \ery narrow passage way for two machines and Mr. Alexander contends that he was as far to the right as it was possible to get, and that Mr. CurIee had space to drive farther to his right, while Mr. Curlee maintains that the other man bad ample room to pas3 him.—Salisbury Post, Sept. 3. TruII Pays Death penalty in The Electric Chair. Raleigh, Sept. 3.—Charles R.

Trull made a confession of his guilt to a clergyman last Wednesday when he had been informed that all means of obtaining a commutation of .his sentence bad been exhausted. Iu bis confession Trull told the clergyman that he blamed wti;k> y, women and evil associates - for his downfall/ Thedeath cbamler was. crowded and the condemned man approached tie death chair unsupported and manifested v/try Iittleweakening of nerve.

I.—The strain ed relations between the Vnited States and Germany apparently pass id into history today, when the German ambassador informed Secre tary Lansing in writing that prior to the sinking of the Arabic Germany had decided that its submarines should sink no more liners without warning. In a formal statement. Lansing said: "This appears to be a recognition of the fundamental principal for which we contended.” The next step is expected to be a formal communication from Ger many disavowing the destruction of the Arabic and tendering regret and reparation for the. Arabic sinking. Then it is expected it will settle the Lusitania sinking similarly. In German circles it is freely ad mitted that Germany expects the United States to protest against Bri tish interference with neutral trade, which prevents Germany from im porting supplies for her civil popu lation. _____________ No Evidence in The Frank Investi gation. i Marietta, Ga., Sept. 2.—The Cobb county grand jury investigating the lynching of Leo M.

We have done our best, under our oath, and we regret to state that we have been unable to find enough evidence to indict anyone for this ,crime.” The report says the jury had the active co-operation of Gov.

The apostles of grass, grain a nd cattle for North Carolina could find a lasting store of information and inspiration by making a tour of the Happy Valldy of the Yadkin, or even a part of it. They could break into the valley at any point, but the proper start would be made where the river turns into the vab Ioy just after leaving.' Patterson, winding its way across Caldwell, through Wilkes, and running as a dividing line between 8 urry, Yad kin. Forsyth, Davie, DAvidson and Rowan, where the valley feature merges into tbe more rugged 'and pow er developing landscape of J tan Iy and Montgomery counties. Winding its way through and be tween these countieB to the railroad bridge near Spencer, tbe Yadkin traverses a veritable ocean of corn and grass, and Yadkinbottomcorn is pretty nearly uniform at 10 and 12 feet in height, of the 100 bus hels to the acre variety, Thehay crop is. rich beyond beyond belief and the opportunities for cattle raising are evident at a . glace. In some meadows ate to be seen front six to a dozen cows grazing in grass that conceals a11 but their backs. In either ot these meadows tbe forage erop would be scifficieht to maintain a hundred cows. Bimilar advantages obtain in thd valley of the Catawba, but the Yadkin has the added value of wider spread of vally land. The abundance and Iuxuriousoess of tbe grass in these valley lands make them a veritable paradise for the stock raiser. - Itis another of tbe vast opportunities over which North Carolina is yet sleeping.-—Charlotte Observer.

Suckling babes may well squirm In their cradles when ministers In convention assembled release the hearts of men and grab them by the throat, for Chris tianity has broken down, religion has become a farce and the pulpit a failure. When the church substitutes force I for persuasion,- command for conviction and coercion for reason, the sheriff •had as well pass the sacrament, plain-clothes men take charge of the altar I and policemen bury the dead, for why a church? [ It is as dastardly a crime against government for a minister to under- ,'take to deliver the votes of hiB parishioners to a candidate, as it is for • I ward heeler to deliver a block of votes to a political boss, and both ought } to be prosecuted, for the law should be no respecter of persons.I It is as objectionable for a convention of ministers to seek by canonical I law to control the votes of church members as it would be for a convention ;Of manufacturers to issue orders for their employees to vote for a certain !candidate. Such conduct is offensive to decency, business morals and a crime !against society. Any convention, whether composed of saints or sinners, I rich or poor, white or black, that seeks to prostitute power and coerce con- ■ science ought to be broken up by-the police and its leader# arrested for treason.A crime by any other name is a crime just the sam e., An ecclesiastical, robe cannot sanctify treason, authority to preach does not carry with it i license to become a political ringster, or the right to teach us how to pray !give a permit to tell us how;n>-vote. No man In joining the church should : sacrifice his citizenship, forfeit his constitutional liberties or subordinate his duty to the state. The earth many times has been drenched with the blood !of our forefathers fighting to thrbw off the ecclesiastical yoke from the state, ' and the suggestion of a return to these medieval conditions with their horror I and their torture should not be tolerated for a moment. Laws should be passed prohibiting any preacher, or combination of preachers, from delivering or attempting to deliver their membership or congregation to any candidate for office, and suitable legislation should be passed preserving the sanctity of the pulpit from political vandalism. It is ,as much a menace to church and state for a politician to occupy the pulpit as for a minister to preach'a political sermon. He has no more right to !preach his-politics from the. pulpit than a teacher has to teach his politics ito his pupils. A preacher cannot make political trickery righteous by usage any more than he can Make profanity respectable by practice. It is one !of the ironies of fate that a preacher may become a scandal as well as a jg’ory to civilization. OUR PUBLIC JpORUM m R. C. Duff On Cotton As Contraband. Hon. R. C. Duff, one of the highest authorities on International law in the nation and one of the most capable citizens in the United States, when asked to investigate tbe exporting of cotton and interpret the laws of nations on this subject for tbe American plow man, said in part:“Article 28 of the Declaration of London reads as follows: ‘The following may not be declaretfcontra- band of war: (I) raw cotton, wool, silk, etc.’ 'Great Britain is not only a signatory of the DeClarailon . of London, but in fact called the conference and insisted upon tbe inclusion of raw cotton on the list of absolute non-contraband. Under this declaration, which was subscribed to by !all the .maritime nations, we have a right absolutely to ship cotton, not only, to neutral ports of Europe, but to Germany and Austria themselves. Humanity shudders at the thought of the'death of the splendid Americans who’went down on the Lusitania, but humanity would bave more cause for shuddering if it could have presented to it In some similarly striking and dramatic way the woe, sorrow and suffering that will be occasioned to multiplied thou sands of men, women and children in the Southern states as a result of cotton being forced down to starvation prices. “The reason why cotton does not command 18 or 20 cents per pound is simply because Great Britain has a naval strangle hold on our shipments and, therefore, on the world supply. England sends her ships of war out into the open seas, captures American cotton, no matter to whom the same may be destined, carries it into British ports, sets up prize' courts of her own nomination, which prize courts, of course, are operating in her favor and which, under such circumstances, after whatever delay they elect to im pose, assess the damages of the American Bhipper at whatever price they see tit and then, after having by such process ‘bought* our cotton, she avails Iierself of the extraordinary high prices existing on the continent of Europe, produced In part b7 her diversion of our shipments, to resell it at a profit. The American shipper has no recourse except to the government. The acts of Great Britain referred to, according to the well-recognized principle of international law, constitute war against the United States. “This grievance is now of many months standing and the South is abont to bring to market another great crop of cotton. Under such, circumstances one would expect that our government, without prompting, would know per fectly well how to deal with acts on the part of the British government, amounting to warfare against our trade and country. "it is not necessary for us to resort to war against-Great Britain In re taliation. A simple, adequate and obvious remedy would be for the president (o advise Great Britain that unless she respects the law of nations as regards our foreign commerce, he will call on congress to adopt a resolution forbid- 8 mg the exportation of arms and munitions of war to foreign countries,” OUR PUBLIC FORUM Hon. Elihu Root On Woman’s Sphere The question of Woman Suffrage is an issue before the American people. Twelve states have adopted it, four more states vote upon it this fall and it is strongly urged that It become a platform demand of the national political parties. It Is therefore the privilege and the duty of every voter to study carefully this subject. Hon. Elihu Root, in discussing this question before the. constitutional convention of New York, recently said In part: “I am opposed to the granting of suffrage to women, because I believe that it would be a loss to women, to all women and to every woman; and because I believe it would be an injury to the state, and to every man and every woman in the Btate. It would be useless to argue:this if the right of suffrage were a natural right If it were a natural right, j then women should have it though the heavens^fall. But if there be any one j thing settled in the long discussion of this subject it Is that suffrage is not a I natural right, but is simply a means of government, and the sole question to he discussed is whether government by the suffrage of men and women will be better government than by thesuffrage of men atone. “Into my Judgment, sir, there enters no element of the. inferiority of WOman- H- Is not that woman is inferior to man, but it is that woman is :different from man; that in the distribution of powers, of capacities, of .qoatt- ,tles, our Maker has created man adapted to the performance of certain func- ^tions In the economy of nature and society, and woman adapted to theperformance of other functions. . “Woman rules today by the sweet and noble influences of her character. !Put .woman into the arena of conflict and she abandons these great weapons !which control the world, and she takes into her hands, feeble and nerveless Ifor strife, weapons with which she is unfamiliar and which she is unable to ;wield. Woman In strife becomes hard, harsh, unlovable, repulsive; as far !removed front that gentle creature to whom we all owe allegiance and to whom we confess submission, as the heaven, is removed-from the earth.“The whole science of government is the.science of protecting life and ! liberty and the .pursuit of happiness. In the divine distribution of powers, .the duty and the right of protection rests with the male. It is so throughout I nature. Tt Jis so with men, and 4', for one. will neffiir consent to part with the divine'right of protecting my wife, my daughter, The women whom I love, .and the women whom I respect, exercising the birthright of man, and place ; that high 'duty' In the weak and nerveless hands of those designed by God 'to be protected rather than to engage in the stern warfare of government. In [my judgment, this whole movement arises from a false conception of the !ddty and of the right of both men and women!“The time will never come when the Ihie of demarcation between the !functions of tbe two sexes will be broken down. I believe it to be false pht ' losophy; I believe that it is an attempt to turn backward npon the Bae of .'social development, and that if the step ever be taken, we go centuries backward on the march towardaa-higher, nobler and purer dvflisetion, which must Lbafm dhC t ln the confusion, hut Iiktlie higher differentiatinw of the D r ifIiB g A f a r . Wben Mokes banded'do*n' this proposition it might have done for bis day, but it doesn’t seem to be working well in tbis: “Six days sball’work be done, bat on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a Sabbath ot rest to the Lord; whosoever doeth work, therein shall be put to death. Tesball kindle no fire throughout yonr habitations upon the Sabbath dsy.” That was pretty far reaching Today, and how many nun or wo men observe (bis law? ,Ifall who work on the seventh day were to be pnt to death—well, it would be hard to find enough people to act as hangmen.—Every thing.

GradmiUy It is being discovered that (he La FoIIette seamen’s bill, which is to go into effect next No vember, can be depended upon to ac complish nothing but the destruction 0f our merchant shipping. At the time of (he Eastland disaster the off hand assertion of a La Follette dis ciple. that if the law had been In operation there would have been no loss of life, was widely circulated and as quickly denied by experts who de clared that no provision of the La Follelte law could have robbed the catastrophe of a single horror. And now comes the announcement that the law officials of the administration 'are agreed that the law does not ap ply to foreign ships entering our ports. Though this view was told from the first by those who studied the law closely It was a fond boast of its advocates that we were going to do terrible things to the foreign shipping interests. The decision that !the laws cannot be applied to foreign craft announced by the attorney gen eral. should end all doubt as to what lthe effect on American- shipping will be. The president Is said to be study ing the measure, and even though It 'was one of his particular pets last ,year, he can but be impelled to seek ;its repeal In view of what a deeper i scrutiny. In the light of a better 'knowledge, must reveal. ! Democrats Have Failed.

I am not talking now about the president and our foreign affairs. We have all got to support the president, but In the administration of domestic affairs the Democrats have failed, and the people 'know it. They cannot make an issue -of national defense, for that isn’t a fnatty question, and there is no chance !whatever for the Democrats to dodge the tariff, if it hadn’t been for the war, we would have been in a terrible !fix.

Mr. Ike H onnycott returned a few days ago from Oity Point. V a., where he worked for three weeks at carpentry a t the D opont Powder r Jant. H em a d e a sh ig h as live and a quarter dollars a day. “ W hy did you not stay where work was so plentiful and wages so high!” he was asked. “ W ould a decent man stay in hell for five dollars a day if he could get out?” asked Mr. H o n n y ' cu tt iu return. H e says th at the devil has that place so securely devoted to his own purposes th at he no longer finds it necessary to watch it a t all and has gone about his business at other places. Tw enty-eight thous and men gathered from all parts of the earth, two hundred beer saloons two thousand lewd women, and in num erable gam bling honses, are M r. H uonycult’s estim ates of the devil’s devices in th at place. About- a thousand acres of land are wired in by the D oponts, in which are situated their works. Since last January the place has been giow ing like wild fire. The powder plants are now in full blast and otlierB are being erected as fast as men can put them np._ The sole business of th e tw enty-eight thous and men engaged either in- the plants or in auxiliary works are m akibg gun cotton, principally for G reatB rItain. I t is a current re port a t the works, BaysMr. H qnny- cutt, th at one bale -of cotton is consumed each m inute, and the work oever stops day or night. Sunday or M onday. Three shifts of men work all the tim e. This estim ate,w ould make the consum p tion of the present works more than a half a million bales per year. If this is true, tw enty-four such plants would burn up this year’s entire cotton crop in twelve m onths. The lowest grades ofcot- ton are used. T here is neither law . nor order there, he says. Even there was fo ra w hile a fake court. This court, arrested men fined them , took their money if they had any, and if they had none, rem anded them to prison, which was merely an inclosure staked off by ropes. H ere they were kept till a big rain set in aDd everybody then scam pered. By aud by real officers o f'th e law came along and arrested the whole court outfit. The company p u t up a building to be .used as a chapel, but it was prom ptly turned into a dance ball and a baw dy house. M r. H unnycutt’s conclusion is th at if war helps business, as m aoy people believe, it is certainly the devil’s business w hich is helped. flIt is uo place for a man who thinks anything of him self, bis fam ily, bis country or his G od,” says M r.

H e M irrc rH eU U p T o IRm T b f H e M ay See H iuuelI A s ’ O tiie n See IBm . There is one species of the h a- man hog who has not been given the attention he deserves. The attention of every newspaper w riter should be directed especially to him . This particular now is the mao who reads the other fellow’s paper with more or less regularity. He mav be found frequently in the small postoffices about the country, either as postm aster or clerk, along the rural or star routes as carrier, but h 3 is found m ost abundantly in the sm aller towns. H e thrives better in the small towns because ot natural laws. Business is not rushing ail during the day and he has tim e to stroll out and borrow bis neighbor’s paper and read. As the town grows and business be comes more strenuous he doesn’t have tim e during the day to, read aud he is foroed to either get along w ithout reading or subscribe for the paper th at he may have it to read at home a t night after his day’s work. The foua-legged hog is crowded out of the small town as it grows into a city by health legislation. The newspaper hog thrives until his business grown so as to dem and all of his tim e during the day and then it is subscribe hog or do w ithout the paper. This newspaper hog is sm arter, o f course, than th e four legged brother, but I really believe he. is m eaner. L et’s exam ine the habits of the four logged hog aud his m ate and little pigs. Io th e ir hog life about all they have to live for is w hat they gel to eat. B ut this much they are all supposed to en joy in common. It would be un usual for the head of the hog family to eujoy alone the food th at he is supposed to share w ith his fam ily. Take th e newspaper hum an beg. H is life is broader and more worth while. H is wife snd children are supposed to share w ith him all the blessings and equipm ent of life. Kow let’s exam ine his habits and see w hat he does. H is neighbor takes the beet newspaper he can buy aud this hog does not. B ut be borrows his neighbor’s and reads it during the Id ay . H is fam ily never sees it^ ju t to fool Ihem intobelieviog h e is not on m indlul of them he subscribes, for a few of the sorriest, cheapest and moet uninteresting papers th a t be can find, papers published tbous ands of miles away and of no earthly local interest, and passeB them out to his fam ily to appease them so th at they will not openly’ rebel and charge .an unfair deal: E ither this or he subscribes to no paper a t all for his fam ily.

There is still some debts to pay on the building and a heat' sign reading “ Davie County Community Building,” is needed on the building. Tnis painting will cost between $12 and $15, and The Record has taken the liberty to raise the amount need ed for this special work, so that strangers passing through our coun ty and town will know that we have a Community Building, which is the third such building in the United Stales. It will help us advertise our county. We hope that every person in Davie county and anywhere else, will contribute to this fund. A- mounts ranging from 5 cents to will be gladly accepted. The names of all contributors will be printed in The Record without w eare requested otherwise. If more than enough money is reeeiyed than it will take to paint the signs the same will be used to help furnish the ladies rest room.

X ■:u is if r OUR PUBLIC FORUM R a l p h P e t e r s s . ^ v # O n R ailw ay M a i P ay A controversy lias been raging In 'aUnniu' nresfl between the railroads and the Federal Fort Offlce Department over the question of„ proSfr j?X!hV«tm n for handling the United States maUs. m R dph *«*•«. C halnnanotthe Railway Mall C om m l^, when ^asked to state the railroad side of the controversy to American farmer, Bald in part: l<n„ . . "The railway mail pay question will be settled ana settled permanently and with JuBtlce to a l l ?*. as soon as the American people realise that tlra whole subject, whilo seemingly complicated and tJflmlcaJ,'*5?* J down to a few simple points of fair business dealing which no one need be a rate expert to understand. “The first is that the Post Office Department weighs the mails, and ra i adjusts the pay of the railroads, only once In four years. This JI railroads to carry the Increase In the mail tonnage during the lntervMing ! vears without p^-m anifestly an Injustice In the case of a In j W i n f f l g . business. One consequence has been that last year the railroads carried fully IhalftheparcelpostfornothIng. . „ .. “A second point is this: In addition to carrying the mails tha rail- Iroads are required to operate many traveling post *!£1 distributing the mails while in transit. But the Postfor such post offices ouly where they occupy whole cars, and pays notrnng ;in the many cases in which it merely requires Oie use of_post “Pgfi ments In combination cars, although such apartments differ from the full ^railway post office cars only In size. More than 4,200 apartments oftlito character have been fitted up, and are maintained for the «el«»'™ ™f Of ithe Post Office Department. Failure to pay for them has been a n especial hardship to the smaller roads on which the Department does not find It necessary to utilize whole cars. "One last point: In thousands of instances (though not Jn all) the Post Office Department requires the railroads to carry the malls back and fortn between railroad stations and post offices, but pays them nothing for tnis extra service beyond the rates covering the rail transportation. The rail roads have no choice but to perform this additional service gratis, or refuse to carry the malls at all. "Now for the remedies the railroads ask: They do not ask to have the mails weighed dally, or to have each shipment weighed and paid for sep- ,arately, as is done In the case of private shippers. They merely ask-to have the mails weighed, and the pay of the railroads adjusted, at least once a year, instead of once in four years. They also ask that apartment post office cars be paid for, at reasonable rates, according to size, Lastly, tney ask that the Post Office Department cease to require of them free messenger service between stations and post offices, and either relieve them of thia service or pay faisly for it. These are the reforms the railroads ask of Con- •gress. They gladly lay these reforms before the public, confident that they :w!ll appeal to the common sense and fairness of American voters.” OUR PUBLIC FORUM R . P . S c h w e r i n O n th e S e a m e n ’s B ill The American plowmen are interested In sea com merce. It is expensive and likewise humiliating to have to salute a foreign flag every time a fanner wants to ship a bushel of wheat, .'a bale of cotton or a pound of farm products across the ocean. The American farmer Isi en titled to the protection qf his flag in sending his products across the Sea, and Congress, should give such encouragement to shipping interests as is necessary to meet foreign . competition In ocean commerce. A recent bill known as the Seaman’s Bill became a law under the' President’s signature and Mr. R. P. Schwerin, vice-president of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company, when asked to define this law and outline Its effect upon Americui steamship lines, said In part: “The bin provides that no ship of try nationality ‘shall be permttted to depart from any port of the United States unless she has on board a crew not less than seventy-five per centum of which, In each department thereof, its able-to understand any order given by the officers of such vessel, nor iunless forty per centum in the first year, forty-five per centum in the Becond year, fifty per centum in the third year, fifty-five per centum in the fourth !year after the passage of this Act, and, thereafter sixty-five per centum of her -ideck crew, exclusive of licensed officers and apprentices, are of a rating not iless than able seamen.* j “The oversea trade of the world is competitive, therefore the originalcost of the ship and, the.operation of the ship have to be reckoned with In the keen competition of these rival nations with one another. The Oriental j sailor is obedient and competent and is the cheapest sailor in the world. It is therefore manifestly clear that if this law applied to all nationalities .In the transpacific traffic, all would be on the same economic basis, but it works a single hardship to all the ships of the world, except the Japanese ~»nd American shipB, and with the latter it works two hardships. With the !European, the cost of constructing a ship is no higher than the cost of constructing.a Japanese ship, but if they had to provide European crews, while :the Japanese operated with Japanese crews, the condition of competition would be such that they could not overcome the handicap and they would be !driven off. But the American ship would have to contend not only with the (tremendous increase of cost of wage in the substitution of the European crew :for the Chinese crew, but also the greater initial cost of the ship. As the .Japanese have now done away with their European officers and Japanese .crews, all of whom speak a common language, there is no difficulty for them jto comply with all the conditions of the bill and continue their Japanese !crews, with Oriental wages. "The law, therefore, instead of assisting the American ship, ajlds another heavy burden, while it places none whatever upon the Japanese ship, hut, on the contrary, turns over to the Japanese the traffic of the Pacific Ocean, (Which the American ship Ie forced to forego by act of Congress of the [United States.” BARACA-p h iia t h e a c o l u m n .

D. Lewis, president of the Texas Muffiera In-a recent address'to the farmers, said In part: “The Farmers’ union is the pioneer force In the cam paign for cheap money, warehouse facilities and a finan cial. system'adapted to the business of farming. The uidon has always stood for the best interests of the farmer and, realizing that the task was so monumental as to require the combined efforts of all forces, the Farmers’ union blew .the horn and called all bands together , to build more warehouses and supply cheap money and, as a result, the farmers and business men and the statesmen are now shaking hands over a bale of cotton. "The Farmers’ union stands-before the public today proud as a king; glorying in its achievements and boasting of its possibilities of rendering a service to the men who follow the plow. The union sounds the bugle call of !organization summoning every yeoman to rally around its colors. In busi ness .It stands for education and co-operation; in the home it stands for BaUy and the babies; In government It stands for constrictive statesmanship. At the moment it directs the attention of the faraiers of the South to ware* housing and financing the present cotton crop.

With only a few months remaining for concentration upon a candidate, the Republicans are still In. the dark ' as to the man who will win the presi dential nomination prize. So'.much de pends upon what happenB In the inter national situation between now and the convention period that it is doubt ful whether there will be any concen tration upon a single candidate. The chances are that most of the candidates now In the field—neatly all .of them being well equipped for the presidency—will remain at least until after the first ballot is. taken'in. the convention. Nor is it very likely that a “dark horse,'' in the sense of a can didate not previously mentioned, .-will win tiie prize. The chances are- that after the first ballot there will he a definite effort to ascertain what can didate would be acceptable to all as a second choice. That the character and accomplishments of the man who is to be selected must be known gen erally to the American people meeds no argument. Needless Worry. Too much protection, from foreign competition produces sloth, ineffi ciency and other evtley—Chicago Daily News. Row can there bqrtoo much protec tion against foreign, competition? The moment domestic industrials find tbemselveB in fuli possession of the American market through an adequate protective tariff tha’t moment begins a new and never-et;ding competition among the domestic industrialists for their share of the American market. By that competition, ,prices are unfail ingly kept within th» limits of reason able and i -Ir promt®, prices are far more likely to go Iaelow than-above that limit as the reBWt of.competition. Wherefore, in practical operation and effect there can be no such thing as too much protectiorl. To repeat a fa miliar illustration, i C the tariff on cali co were to be ralsfed to ten cents a yard calico would continue to sell at five cents a yard. Don’t worry about "too much protec titan.” The thing to worry about 16 Wo little protection. That is what hurts. People Disappointed. ' Frank OS.

The North Carolina Post Road from Mocksville to Hall’s Ferry needs some work at two or three places. N earthe “ Corner House” the road is getting in bad condition and between Cook’s store and the river bridge there are one or two olaces that need9 dragging and hole? filled up. One stitch in time saves a dozep often times. We hope the Eioad Commissioners will take this m atter up and appoint a man in each district to keep the road shaped. up and the holes filled. The shade should also be cut out just beyond Dutchman creek bridge. It would be a pity to let a hundred thousand dollar road go to the bad the first year. T he M elancholy D ays.

London, Sept. 17.—Von Hinden- burg’s army is astride the Dvinsk- Vilna railway and both towns are seriously threatened.

Don’t Jose a day’s work!Calomel is mercury or ‘ quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking it up. IDiis is when yon feel that awful nausea and cramping. If yon are sluggish and “all lcnodied out,” if your liver is torpid and boweIs_ constipated or you have headache, dizziness, costed tongue, if breath is had or stomach sonr just take a spoonful of harmless Dod son’s Idver Tone on my guarantee. Here’s my guarantee—Go to any drag store and get a SO cent bottle of Dod son’s Liver Tone. Take a spoonful to night and if it doesn’t straighten yon right up and make you feel fine and vigorous by morning I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liter medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make you rick. I guarantee that one spoonful of Dod-' son’s Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sonr bile and constipated waste which is clogging your system and mak ing you feel miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson’s Livm- Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give it to your children.

SOUTH A8 ORAIN SECTIONEXPLOITED feY SOUTHERN I Atlanta, Os.—The superlative ad* !vantages of the South as a grain pro ducing section will be given great !prominence in exhibits which South ern Railway, Mobile and Ohio Rail* road, Georgia Southern and Florida 'Railway, Virginia and Southwestern Railway, and affiliated lines will make at thirty state, district and county fairs in the North and Middle West during the coming fall. An especially line collection of grains will be shown while the grass es and forage crops exhibited will be of very high character. From the wheat growing section of the South, grain sheaves will be shown from fields yielding as high as 40 bushels Ito the acre, and the character of oth- Ier exhibits will be In keeping. The fruits and vegetables to be shown in jars include a wide variety. These.-ezhibits come from various districts of the entire territory serv ed by Southern Railway and affiliated ilines In Virginia, North and South ’Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. They will be shown in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Michigan and Il linois and each exhibit will be attend ed by agents, well equipped to tell callers about the various sections of the South. The first two exhibits will be shown at fairs in Indiana. For all fairs in the Middle West a special exhibit .tent has been provided, arranged so 'that a large number of people can isee the exhibit at the same time. Throughout many of the states the Southern Railway exhibit has become .well known and is looked for. SPLENDID RECORD IS MADE IN HANDLING OF PASSENGERS : Atlanta, Ga.—More than sixteen and 'a half million passengers—a number greater than the combined population of Virginia, North Carolina, South Car olina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky—were transported by Southern Railway during the year end ed June 30 with only one fatal 4njury to a passenger while on a train and .that one was standing on a car plat form In direct violation of the com pany’s rules. This excellent record was shown in vth e official figures given out indicat* iing the high degree of safety that has been attained in the handling of Southern Railway passenger trains. In marked contrast are figures re cently given out by President Fairfax Harrison of Southern Railway, show ing that during -the same period twelve persons riding in automobiles were killed in accidents at public highway crossings, every one of which accidents could have been prevented had the driver of the car observed the familiar warning, "Stop, Look and Listen.” SOUTHERN ELIMINATING MANY GRADE CROSSINGS Danville, Va.—In -connection with the double track work which it has had. under wa? in Virginia and North Carolina during the past fiscal year on 102.4 miles of its Atlanta-Washington line, Southern Railway has eliminated .64 out of 73 grade crossings. By the .building of underpasses 20 were elim- 1 inated, by overhead bridges 19, and .by changing the direction of public .highways 15. The 10 which remain are so located as to make their elimi nation physically impossible or they involve prohibitive damages to abut ting property. In all construction work involving ,the relocation or double tracking of .its lines the fixed policy of Southern Railway Company is to separate all !important highway crossings of the revised lines wherever practicable. :Though this policy means large addi tional expense, such expense is under taken as a permanent investment for safety. Southern Railway has also co-operat ed with municipal and county author- ltles In the elimination of many dan gerous crossings on others of its IineB throughout the South. It has devoted .to work of this character as much as its resources and other obligations - make possible and President Fairfax Harrison has announced that this pol icy will be continued.

A colored man named M orris Graves, whose wife had been sentenced to jail for six moUhs upon a convic tion for selling liquor, asked leave of the court to serve his wife’s sentence. Judge AJlen was touch ed by the offer. H e allowed the husband to plead gaiUy in a made- up caFO, sent him to (be roadj for three months, and let the wife go. It is a rare thing to see such fideli ty; rather one sees shirking and conniving to escape, regardless of whom the hardship tails upon. Such exam ples are rare. M orris Graves is a credit to bis race. To T he PnU ic. “I feel that I owe the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Colic,Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy a word of gratitude.” writes Mn. T. N.

I11110 part of the correspondence ol German agents, made public recently. Is there more Elgnlflcance than that contained In the exp; eaBlons of confi dence that Germany will be able to re gain all her trade In the American market once the war is over. , Tlie shrewd commercial agents ot Oermany foresee an Immediate move ment (or the restoration of a protee live tariff, according to thiB corre spondence. The predictions to this ef feet, however, are baBed upon the com plimentary view that American busi ness men are too shrewd to permit die present nonprotectlve tariff to re main in operation. Unless such steps are taken, the Germans are aware they will not only be able to regain their old foothold In the American market, along with ail oilier Jiuropean nations that pay wftges lower than the American stand ard, but will be able to do much more They will not only be able to regain Ihe position they had under the Payne- .Aldrleli protective tariff law, but will be able to take full advantage of the existing tariff, which permits more than sixty per cent of all imports to come in free. H has been said that even the Demo cratic party, under the pressure of public opinion In recent years, had abandoned the policy of free trade. No Democrat ever dares utter a peep about free trade on the stump. Presi dent Wilson doubtless would have re sented (lie charge that he was a free trade candidate. Yet, with free trade applying to more than sixty per cent of all products, by. what other name can the present tariff law be called? The Germans tally expect the Unit ed States to return to the protective tariff. Iliere Is nodoubt-that the country will do so, hut the DemocfatB mst say whether they will make the fiange or force the country to wait until the Republican party returns to power. Coming Platforms. M would be difficult to overstate Ihe flagrant defections of the Demo crats from sound policies In their eagerness to project something novel into the national field, and thus to obscure the good work done by the Republicans during their long tenure of public office.' This endeavor of the D'jiocratic party met with ' dismal failure and with results that proved destructive to the basic prosperity of the nation and the baBlc solidarity of the people and the basic soundness of political action. With all this the country will have to do apart from and Independent of the international situation, even should the nation In 1916 be at war—a most remote contln- teacy. The two parties wilt be In sub stantial agreement as to foreign poli cies provided the Democratlo party shall indorse the procedure thus far followed. But they will be diametrical- y opposed In the only field of political Interest that can govern the outcome Jjf the next campaign; namely, the “eld of domestic acts and conse quences as read In the record of the party in power. Will Need Some Explaining. The people of the United States con tributed $415,000,000 In internal taxes last year, Including the corporation Md Individual income taxes—the largest Internal revenue ever raised. in spite of these figures the ad ministration still appears to be con fronted with the necessity of adopting Wmc means of raising revenue to take the place of the special "war tax” Wiich expires by limitation at the end °> the calendar year. Democratic spellbinders will find some difficulty ® explaining the heavy -taxation, In e campaign next year. MisiaKen uem oeratic Policy. The llepublican party has never Jwnt and It is not now, a calamity ■fowler. But It believes the free trade _Poilcy of the Democratic party -is a mistake, and that, sooner or. later, an unwise fiscal policy will hurt Amerl- can prosperity. This was amply dem onstrated by the bl'ght which the Un- Wrwood tariff measure brought upon we country Happy Change. Jne president informs the country “al the secretary of state is to per- «,nal charge ot the Mexican situation, “ere is reason to believe that dur- 8 the period of watchful waiting the S es|dent was kept. busier watching wretary Bryan than watching -Mexi- " Things are different now, and our “Pocial cause for thankfulness, for «P. heartfelt rejoicing, is that Mr. »nd H dl,) not reaoh the W hite House Hc 095 not occupy our highest of- kltni these yeara P* crisis for man- B eN ot-D ceciT ed. “ Fignresdon’t lie, but liars can figure.” W e intend no unm erited disrespect for Secietary DanielB in using tbis quotation, but it is called to m iud by a reading of the letters which he has exchanged w ith Sen ator Lodge. The Secretary would have the country believe th at the effective navy list has been in crease by fifty ships since 1913 The Senator shows more th a n th irty of these to be old Bhipst some of them , like the Oregon, for intance, obsolete and now com m is sioned only for show puporses a t the San Francisco Exposition. The Secretary tries to point out w hat two /e a rs of w hat he correctly calls a “ W ilson Congress” have done for the navy and contrasts it with w hat the last two years ot w hat be i iicorreci Iy term s a ‘ ‘T aft Congress” did . T be fact is th at the last two years of T aft’s A dm inistration were blessed with a Democratic Congress whose leaders refused to do any thing that Secretary M eyer recom mended—and Mr. M eyers has re cently aod pointedly rem inded (he country of th at fact. The Secre taiy em its the usual w hine of a Dem ocrat who is caught in an at tem pt to deceive and declares th at the Senator is trying to play poli tics. Tbe Senator produces his record and votes in Congress and makes good his denial, AU this is w hat flTJncle Joe” Cannon would call “ leather and prunella.” I t is ev id eu tth at the adm inistration and the Democratic party in general are trying to scut tle ew ay from an adequate. pro gram m e for national defence. To carry out any such a programm e means theap p ro p riatio n o f a- large sum of money. The Treasury, by reason of ridiculous Democratic revenue legislation and by reason of crim inal Democratic extravag ance, is practically em pty. T oget money for auy purpose—for the actual running expenses of the G overnm ent, to say nothing of money for an enlarged arm y and navy program m e—means either a bond issue, or a.series of G overn ment notes, or a revision. of the tariff along Republican l i n e s . E ither of these alternatives spells Democratic ruin.

SEPT 29, 1915 Many papers are advising farmers to hold their cotton for 12 cents. Cot ton may go to that figure or even higher, but The Record believes that when tbe cotton growers begin rush ing their cotton on the market the price will drop instead of rise. No one knows. If W. J. Bryan goes to Europe next month on a peace mission and pays all his expenses it is nobody’s business how much he lectures when he returns, nor how much admission he charges. On the other hand, if he goes to Europe and this country pays all his expenses then his lec tures on Europe, if he makes any, should be given without money and without price. Billy would make money by paying his own expenses DOES DAVIE AN INJUSTICE TheStatesville correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, in the issue of Sept. 21st, does Davie a grave in justice. In speaking of a raid by officers the w riter says: "Reports reaching the revenue officers station ed here is to the effeet that blockad ing on a large scale is being indulged in Davie a t the present time and Deputy Alexander states that he is determined to greatly reduce the practice of blockading in this locali ty.” The w riteralso says, among other things: "The officers thade a successful raid in what is known as the “Big Woods” in Davie county, For the benefit of those who read The Observer and don’t know any better, we will say that the "big woods” is not in Davie county and never have been, but are in Yadkin county, b e tw e e n . Courtney and Huntsville There has not been an illicit distillery found in Davie coun ty in along while and Sheriff Sprinkle and Deputy Harbin tell us that they do not believe there is a blockading outfit in the county at' this time. These facts are presented so that history may be kept straight. No county cares for such free advertis ing as the Observer gave us. A Bad Runaw ay. Late Friday afternoon while re, turning to her home, Mrs. Isaac Roberts, of Clarksville, was serious Iy injured by being thrown from her buggy. Both arms were broken at two places, one being a compound fracture, and one band was also broken. Mrs. Roberts was in the buggy which was being driven by one of her hired colored men, when an automobile driven by Dr. Hard ing, of Courtney, came along and frightened the horse. The bridle broke and the horse turned the bug gy over, with the above result. Dr. Rod well, of this citv, was ’phoned for and assisted Dr, Harding in dressing the wounds. M n,-’Roberta' condition is quite serious, owing to her advanced age, but her many friends are hojping that she will re cover. When th e horse 'became frightened Mrs, Roberts was just turning from the public road into her yard. T urner Reunion. On the 8th instant, the posterity of Alexander Turner, who was born A. D.. 1793, met at the home of Mr. Alexander Turner, Jr.; near Mt. Vernon, Sn Rowan county, and held their second annual re union, which was attended by all the brothers and sisters living except ihe youngest brother. Mr. W. M. Turner, of Richmond county. These brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, grcat-grand-cbil- dren. kindred and friends aggregated an attendance of near one hundred persons. This reunion will long be remembered by all who attended it and especially by the brothers, sisters and relatives, as it was. only tbe second time all had inet together to look upon eaCh others faces in over forty years, tuid this long period of time made the meeting more Joyful. The day of this reunion was warm, but beautiful as heart could wish and this together with : beauti^and ideal spots :hau oceitsioo <miy tended to make iK£ffs#.a blitheful' one indeed. The exercises of the day were first an ad dress of welcotmr. to aU present by Rev.. H. F. Turner/and then an address to the assemblage by-P. Turner, noontide hour when the word was given >» take the baskets and spread the dinner, which was done, and then Rev. H.-F. Turner gave tbe1 invitation to come around the table, and after a word of thanks was offered by the elder brother tbe word “partake and help yourselves” was given to all. So all pres ent were around a long, table richly .laden with the bountifuVgood things of life, and if any one failed to get a “square meal,*' it was his or her own fault. After dinner was over the afternoon was spent in social coavefkation among tbe brothers, sisters, relarives and friends who attended this memorable occasion. The membtrs of this Turner family are scattered over dif ferent counties and sections of the State and-so would not all get to see each other annually were it not for these reunion meetings, which bring a blitheful coming together once a year. This reunion w: s well enjoyed and inspiring, apparently, to all present. When the day was so pleas antly spent, and time arrived to separate, then began the “goodbye handshake.' So ail separated, cherishing the hope meeting again in another reunion, if God permits during'tbe summer of 1916. ONE PRESENT.

As,.vet no general movement in this direction has been made, al though preliminary ‘operations by tbe Germans are under wav. Having rossed the Serbian territory, the Germans would have to adyance through Bulgaria before the? could bring aid to the Truks in Gallipoli and at Constantinople.

There is the more important question of how much your family could live upon if you. the bread-winner, were suddenly taken away. They will get along all right while yon live. They would man age to subsist somehow, even if your income were cut in two. Would they have as much as that if you were taken away? Would they have anything at all?

In the last national election the Re publicans divided and destroyed their own chances. _ Instructed by that folly, the. Republicans are reuniting, and at present' promise to come to the scratch next year in much of their old formation. It will take a tremendous effort to convert the Democracy from a minority to a majority party. Revision of the Tariff. Necessity compels the Democratsto consider another revision of the tariff before the next presidential election. They must have money to run the government, and the Underwood tariff, though professedly to raise revenue and for no other purpose, falls far short of bringing in enough. Hence Democratic newspapers report that the administration is considering a ,"correction" of certain schedules and that eugsr will not go on the free list next year, as provided by the Under wood law.—Portland Oregonian. important National Gathering. That the Republican National Con vention of 1916 will be the most inter esting national gathering of the 0. O. P. within a half century, was the be lief expressed by James B. Reynolds, secretary of the Republican National Committee, during a conference with former Collector WiUlam F. Stone. Mr. Reynolds came to Baltimore and had luncheon with Mr. Stone, who is sergeant-at-arms of the Republican Na tional Committee. His visit here fol lowed a; conference he held in New Tork recently with Chairman HUles and other officials of the committee, a t which preliminary plans were dis cussed for the G. O. P. gathering next year, which many persons believe Wilt nominate the next president of the United States.—Baltimore American. Tariff In Politics. So long as public opinion is deeply and widely divided on the issue of protection, so long that issue must be _ln politics. Men who beUeve a low -^tariff is ruinous to the country are not going to elect Congressmen who will enact that sort of a tariff. Men who believe the tariff is a tax on con sumption several times as large as the revenue secured by the government, and ought in the interest of the whole country to be as low as revenue con siderations permit, cannot be expected to vote for such candidates for Con gress as the American Economist ’ would approve. And so the tariff is in politics, and it is likely to remain in politics.—Ex change. Dummy-cratic Soribes. . A large number of Democratic edit ors In the-industrial centers are out 'for a protective tariff law. A still larger number are contending that the .European war will, by checking im- 'ports, stimulate American industries, .'all unwittingly perhaps, but saying {just what the Republicans have al- jways said, that when imports are i checked American Industries, mills, shops end factories are stimulated and prosperous. We pity such Demo cratic scribes.—Marion (Ia.) Register. We AU Go Together. We all go up and down together. Tou cannot do injustice to the. rail roads without hurting the man with the wheelbarrow. Tou cannot smite the employer without hurting the em ployee, and you cannot cure the leth argy and depression of business un less the remedy reaches through its arteries to its entire body.—Leslie's. It Wat to Laugh. I would like to see a new depart ment added to the government, to be known as the department of laughter. -—Miss May Irwin. The state department not long ago enjoyed that distinction. '-H at Lofty-'Ideals.

B ut now th at th e indueties have become giants, they seem to need the same protee tion. Clay argued th at the ultim ate consumer m ight get things cheap er, but patriotism should cause all Americans to keep up the tariff in order to protect the industry as well as the wage earner. B nt now a days we find th at the lower the the tariff the higher the article to the ultim ate ’consumer and also Iiud onrsely.es wrestling w ith a war tax.—E verything.
