The Asheboro Cornier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A .YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. -Entered at the Post Office at Asheboro at 'econd Cam Matter. THE PRIMARY VOTE WILL RULE. Under the Democratic plan of organization there is no such thing as the unit rule. The Democratic plan organization provides that any Democratic voter who attends a party primary can call for a vote on the Hanie of any candidate am vote cast and sent up as cast in the pri mary tor each and every candidate. We have often referred to this in the Courier In this and in other campaigns. We think it wise to take the vote on all candidates. The people in the primaries make better selections than the leaders ou the day of the convention. Then no risk is made in having things dom- second hand. In most of the preciucts instruc tions were giveu at the primaries on last Saturday and there is no way on earth by which those instructions canbeviolatedJand no attempt .will be made tojviolate such instructions The Townships! which sent up in structed delegates will find that bet ter satisfaction will be given than where io instructions were given. "In those townships where no in structions were given it is to be hoped that the delegates wi 11 cou sult the people and get the senti ment of the party and vote it in the convention ou next Saturday. Let us have no trading and swap' ping bydesiguing "or ambitious or scheming candidates or politicians. Let there be a "square deal" all round and every tub stand ou its own bottom and all will be well. The Democrats of this county believe in the mleof the people and believe in an expression of the peo ple in tha primaries, fully and freely without the dictation of any man or set of men. There will be a great convention in Asheboro on next Saturday. The convention will be composed of men who have redeemed the county from the wreckanduin ofJJRepublican ism. The convention will nominate strong ticket we believe and a ticket in which the people will have the fullest confidence, and thejhigh est respect and esteem. Such a ticket should be nominated and we believe will be nominated and elect ed by the largest majority ever given in the county. The Democratic party is not a party ruled by bosses and no man or set of men can or shall prevent the time honored Democratic trinci ple of the rule of the people from the lowest to the highest elective office. While" the duties ou the office of Governor should be performed by the Lieutenant Governor, in the absence of the Governor from the State, yet the court at Salisbury was a duly constituted court with a grand jury and all the machinery of the court iu operation and its acts were legal and constitutional. There is no more doubt about this, in our opinion, than that God rules and the sun shines. One word before the convention to the delegates: In your fight for the different offices don't forget the most important pcsitions are county commissioners and members of the general assembly. Next Saturday there will assem ble a great convention to nominate a winning ticket in the largest coun ty in this congressional district. It is to be hoped that wisdom and good judgment will prevail in all its de liberations. Come to the convention next Sat urday and do your best for the nom ination of the best men. The primaries all over the county were well attended and the best of feeling prevailed.! i f. What encouragement .' has the farmer in Randolph to cultivate the soil when it is impossible to travel the roads to place their pro duct en the market? COMMENTS. If President Roosevelt does uot expend all the $25,000 Congress appropriated for traveling expenses, will he turn the balance into the conscience fund, or leave the un expended balance in the Treasury? The'"eight.hour" day with which the Administration is trying to head off the Labor revolt, look rather slim wheu confronted bv the proposition of the French Socialists. M. Guesde's program is "eighty minutes" work-a-day. But then most Socialists dcu't want to .work t all. If these reports from the Isle of Pines, of persecution, of American citizens, by the Cuban officials are one half true, there is good reason for shaking the "big stick" in that direction and if the Administration refuses to protect Americans from abuse, "for reasons of state" the American people will soon want to know the reason why. The Sugar Trust has been caught rebatiug iu league with the railroads and the geueral auditor of the trust has been compelled Ly the. court to produce certain books and docu ments, which he had declined to furnish to the grand jury. But under the Elkins anti-rebate law, the railroad officials will escape imprisonment, if convicted. The top heavy government of the Philippines that the Republicans have erected is breaking down of its owu weight, from sheer inability of the inhabitants to pay enough taxes to support it. Futher the people of the United States will have to pay part of the local expen ses, added to the present taxes they pav for the army and navy employ ed there, or we will haye to give the island up to the Filipinos to do what they like with and virtual ly extend the Monroe doctriue there to prevent any foreign natiou from oppressing them. The Demo crats may well declare, "we told you si." Gov. Cummins, of Iowa, had bet ter look out, or he will be called to account at Oyster Bay. Here he is telling people that "the next Con gress will take up the revision of the tariff at the request of President Roosevelt." And this when all the world knows, especially the Geimans, that the President is In for a stand- pat campaign by agreement Jwith speaker Cannon and the other cam paign leaders. But perhaps Gov Cummins has ariived at the conclu sion that the people will elect Democratic majority of Congress and the president will fall into line by recommending and signing i tariff retom bill, to the utter con fusion of the standpatters. Congressman Littlefield must be pushed very hard by his Democratic opponent, for the news from his district says he is making a house to nouse canvass, which is usually recognized as the last resort in an emergency. The people of Maine have not been thoroughly aroused for years, as the Republican ma chine, in league with the corpoia tions and saloons, has had them in a tight grip, but there are signs of a political awakening that embodies trouble for the corrupt standpatters. Senator Bailey, like Senator Til man, has triumphed over his ene mies in his own state and in other states by being unanimously renomi nated for United States Senator and Democrats everywhere are to be congratulated that they will con tinue to have these two champions of honest government to expose the corruption and grafting of the Re publican majority.

(Concluded from first puge.) Capitol of the Village." One of the most interesting spots iu Con cord is the quaint old Alcott home, kuovn as the Orchard House, Here Louisa M. Alcott wrote her "Little Men" and "Little Womeu' so dear to the literary world. Before leaving this place, where the tourist finds his surroundings almost ideal, we pause for awhile at one ot the mcst hallowed of Con. cord shrines, a spot where those who have made Concord famous as a literary center have found their final resting place. Upon the en trance gates are simply the words. "Sleeply Hollow." Here are found the graves of Hawthorne, Henry Thoreau and Louisa M. Alcott. The tomb of Emerson is under a large pine, which he chose long ' efere his death to sentinel his bur ial spot. "No other spot holds dust more precious than does this hill-top hearsed with pines." A two hours ride through beauti ful New England country brought us to Waltham, "The City of Watch es." A visit here would afford enough material for an article by itself. We were shown through the mammoth structure occupied by the American Waltham Watch Co. as h factory, a building whose froutage occupies 800 feet and which with its conuec ing wings would equal a four story building over half a mile in length. Within these walls 4,000 employes are dailv employed, and from them 10,000 watches are turned out week ly. Indeed this isaluiost "a world within a world." A most interest ing sight was to witness the army of employes leave the building at f o'clock. In the reception hall of the fac tory a delicious luncheon was served as "Every thing that heart could wish Was piled upou saucer, cup and dish." The days outing was finallv closed with a visit to Norumbega rark said to be one of the most beautiful natural parks in tne country. Thousands of shrubs in great variety border the waks while the beautiful flower beds, in all shipes, and filled with rare do mestic and exotic plants are a mar vel of the gardener's skill. The extensive zoo, deer park, electric fountain and boating on the Charles are all great attractions for visitors. We enjoyed "Olevette" at the mag nificent new theatie before taking the oars for the hotel. The following day many othei points of interest were visited, none more worthy of mention than Bunk er Hill Monument, whose corner stone was laid by Lafayette in 1825. It is an impressive shaft 221 feet high and commemorates the valor of American soldiers. Other historical buildings we visited were King's Chapel, Trinity Church, the Old State House and Faneul Hall, the latter being called "The Cradle of Liberty" because within its walls was denounced the Colonies. After an evening spent at Revere Beach, a coast resort near the city, our p!e sant visit to Bos ton came to a close. We people of the South are wont to be proud of our hospitality, and 'tis well we are, but Massachusetts is a close rival for such honors. The Boston people have great big hearts and the extent of their cordiality was lavishly bestowed upon the members of the North Carolina and Va. Press Association. The memories of our pleasant visit will ever linger with us. M. L. D. ' North Carolina Ball Players.
