United States Senator Lee
S. Overman will address the
citizens of Alamance on the

E. S. PARKER, JR.,
Ch'm'n Co. Dem. Ex. Com.
Candidate Hughes is digging
n way at the Adumaon 8-hour bill,
condemning It with all his power.
That is a thrust at a majority
of the Republican Congressmen
who voted for it, among whom was
Joe Cannon. Congressman Hritt.thr
only Republican in Congress from
North Carolina, voted for it, anu
is standing by his record. LaPol
lette of .Wisconsin and Cummins o!
lowa, two other Republicans ol
Presidential dimensions, are fight
ing back at Hughes for his opposi
tion to the law. And tho New
York Herald, a strong opponeni
of the Wilson administration, says
"Wilson deserves great credit for
his stand in urging the passage of
this bill, which averted a national
calamity.'-
Hughes would repeal the income
tax law that compels tho rich to
pay, as never before, their share
for the support of the government.
This is an appeal to Wall Street,
which alone Is reason enough- for
tbs rest of the folks to vote for
Wilson. Does Hughes stand with
and for the country folks and filain
people? Let us see: When (Jov
vernor of New York he vetoed a
bill to appropriate 95,000 for the
agricultural college and another for
IK.OOO for farmers' institutes; anc
he turned right around and ap
proved a bill to Increase salaries
for State officers from 1)1,000 to
•ft, ooo the least of whom was al
ready receiving 94,000. Whose In
terests would he serve if elected
President? .Whose tool would he
bCT .
Col. Roosevelt is rsmpaigning in
behalf of candidate Hughes whom
he called a "pussy-footed feather
duster" a few weeks before his
nomination., It must be- an icy en
thitfiasm that the Col. is arous
ing In favor of tho "pussy-foot'.
Can a supporter of Hughes tell
from his speeches what he standi
for, save and except that he is op
posed to the achievements of pro
(restive legislation wrought unde
the Wilson administration?
A Democratic victory is' expect pa
and confidently predicted in OhiJ
The State Journal, said to be 'the
ablest Republican paper in thai
State is vigorously opposing Mr.
Hughes.
If yon have not regiatered or d
not know that your name ia on Uu
books, aee to it. It wiU bo too lafa
when election day ia here.

loart house Saturday night
CALAMITY.
It is not strange, because they
have done it for years in each cam
paign, but it is nevertheless true.
That sounds rather queer, but "ca
lamity" is part, and a big part, of
the campaign thunder continually
hurled by the Republicans at the
Democrats. When a campaign is on
the volume grows and intensifies
It matters not whether times are
good, bad or indifferent, it's "calam
ity." Now, in the midst of the most
prosperous ti,mes this country has
experienced in 50 years, woeful days
are predicted. A like prediction
was made before Mr. VVil .on was
elected. The thing that stands out
prominently upon every picture
drawn by a Republican writer or
speaker is "calamity."
TEN PERCENT WAGE INCREASE.
Every cotton mill in this county,
so we are informed, has increased
the wages of its help ten percent.
The pay envelopes will contain this
week a printed slip adyising of the
increase and the actual increase will
be there to show for itself. This is
purely voluntary on the part of the
mills, as there hits been no demand
made for a raise. The mills are
prospering as never before—working
full time and at night where help
can be secured. The mill owners
know that the cost of living has
greatly increased, and, as they are
doing well, are willing to share with
tlioir help while present conditions
last. The extra 10 percont will be
greatly appreciated. It means sev
eral thousands of dollars every
month.
TEN THOUSAND.
A 110,000 donation is a good one,
but a North Carolina manufacturer
feels justified in giving it to help
re-elect Mr. Wilson. The giver is
Mr. R. J. Reynolds, the head of the
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. of Win
ston-Salem, the largest tobacco manu
facturing city in the world. lie be
lieves in Mr. Wilson. lie thinks
the Regional Bank act alone entitles
Mr. Wilson to a re-election. What
Mr. Reynold's politics is we cannot
say, but he has been associated with
Republicans in business, and his
brother, Chas. A. Reynolds, was
Lieutenant Governor when Daniel
L. Russell, Republican, was Govern
or from 1894 to 1898. Mr. Rey
nolds represents one of the big busi
nesses that is not afraid of a Demo
cratic administration, llis company
is capitalized at 122,000,000.
Clms. F. McKesson of Morgan
ton, a shiuini; light in the Repub
lican party for the past 30 years
and who voted against Wilson
four years ago, has come out
strongly for the re-election of Wil
son. lie gives "many reasons, good
ones, and Bays of Wilson, "Like
the flaming sword that guarded
the gates of Paradise, his lofty
patriotism, his superb statesman
ship, will "ever be beacons to
illumine tfie path of our national
ship to a haven of safety."
In conclusion he says, "I am
deeply persuaded that the peace
of our country depends on tho de
feat of Hughes. * * » There
are some whose party loyalty is
so based on the hope of a govern
inent job, that I slwill expect and
welcome their criticism."
Mr. McKesson will look in vaiu
for much criticism of his course.
Republican writers and speakers
are not going to advertiso the fact
that houest, conscientious Repub
licans would rather be right than
have a seat at the pie-counter.
"The South is in tho saddle,"
says Hughes. For what does he
thus deliver himsolf? He is the
accredited mouthpiece of the
"money bags" of his party, and
the purpose of it is to stir up a
sectional feeling and solidify the
voting element of the North. It
will fail in both the North and
South, and, too, it will make more
Southern voters support Wilson.
And isn't it a shame for a candi
date for Preeldont to descend to
tho low plane of trying to arouse
a sectional feeling, which has been
burled for many years, in order
that he may reap political honors?
The attempt will be resented its
It should bo.
Money is needed by the Demo
cratic National Committee to send
literature and speakers abroad to in
form the people. Few are able to
do as well as Mr. R. J. Reynolds,
but all can do something, and all
will be benefited. To accomplish a
Democratic landslide it is only neces
sary that the people be rightly in
formed. Let everybody help.
If the wise and discreet business
men thought or believed the great
prosperity of this country was only
temporary, do you believe they would
be putting so many hundreds of
thousands in new enterprises and
adding to old ones ? No. They be
lieve it .has come to stay a long
time.
Lots of things are happening to.
disconcert and harass the Republi- 1
cans. They are saying that the 10
percent increase in wages to the cot
ton piill operatives is a political move
on the part o( Democrats. N>t so!
Both Republicans and Democrats
are doing it. It is a simple response
to the promptings of righteous jus
tice as the result of abounding pros
perity wrought through the benefi
cent administration of the Democ
racy that places humanity above the
paltry dollar.
Notwithstanding William Ran
dolph Hearst, the owner of a string
of big newspapers from New York
to California, has badgered Presi
dent Wilson to bring on a war with
Mexico that the large mining inter
ests of himself and other rich Ameri
cans in that unfortunate country
might be helped, Col. John Temple
Graves, the editor of the Hearst
publications of Atlanta, has gone on
a sjieaking tour for President Wil
son with Mr- MeCormick, the Na
tional ('liaii man.
The county candidates were here
last Saturday night and had a good
audience. The debate between the
two candidates for the Legislature,
Mr. J. H. Vernon, Democrat, and
ex-Sheriff It. T. Kernodlo, Republi
can, was a fairly warm affair. To
day and tonight tho joint canvass
between tho candidates at Sutphin
and Saxapahaw closes the county
campaign.
THE 8-HOUR LAW,
Hughes and Roosevelt Approved
Legislation Regulating Hour*
of Labor.
Thos. Carmody, former Attorney
General of New York, in New
York [World.
Mr. Hughes and Colonel Roosevelt
launch persistent attacks upon
President Wilson for signing the
8-hour law. They condemn the
law for the reasons, first, that the
government permitted itself to b">
coerced by union labor; second,
that it was passed without inves
tigation of its needs; third, that i»
violates the doctrine of arbitra
tion. Both seem to forget that
this kind of legislation his long
since been recognized as proper,
both,- by Federal and State Govern
ments, in dealing with labor prob
lems.
In 1907 the Legislature of New
York State passed, and Governor
Hughes approved a measure pro
viding for eight hours a day for
all ratlropd employes engaged as
telephone and telegraph operators,
levermen who manipulated inter
locking machines in railroad .varus
and on main tracks, train dispatch
ers anil others connected with the
block system. This law was pass
ed pursuant to the demands of or
ganized labor and in opposition to
the protests of the railroads.
About the same time Congress
passed a 9-hour a day law for
railroad employes engaged in the
same occupation as those mention
ed übove. That l.iw was approved
by President Roosevelt, pursuant to
the demnnds of organized labor and
in opposition to the protests of
the railroads.
If the Federal 8-hour a day law
which is now so str ougi.r emrfr; •mn
ed by both Mr. Hughes and Colo
net Roosevelt, was brought about
by the coercion of labor, so were
both the above measures above
mentioned. There was no sugges
tion by either Gov. Hughes or
President Roosevelt that the ques
tion involved should be arbitrated
or investigated.- Both of these
measures recognized, with the ap
proval of Gov. Hughes and Presi
dent Roosevelt, the right of the
government to fix hours of labor
on railroads.
This is the fundamental princi
ple upon which all three measures
rest, and surely after nine years
experience in hours of labor legis
lation by tho Federal Government
nnd in nearly every State in the
union, Congress is quite as capa
ble of passing the 8-hour law with
out investigation or arbitration as
was u Republican Legislature ol
the State of New York and a Re
publican Congress in 1907.
The body of Mrs. F. J. Griffith

TWO KINDS OP BOOKS.
It is said that everyone should car
ry with him or have close at hana
two kinds of book*—one out of
which he gets something and one
into which he puts something. Al
most every class and condition,
people who follow all kinds of
work, find time, or have tlmethruat
upon them, as it were, that they
might spend pleasaritly and profit-'
ably by reading from some good
book. They might read while thsy
wait for the train, while they wait
for the other party to an engag
ment, while they wait through the
interim between this, that and the
other.
Tbe companion for the book out
of which you get something is the
book into which .you'put some
thing. Few minds that do much
thinking can be relied upon for
memorandum or bulletin board.. »
"Where the memory prevails,
Much fruit of understanding
fails.''
No mind is so constituted that it
can retain all it learns. No mina
is so constituted that will retain
all that it important and should
be remembered. How often we see
things and hear things that are too
good to lose or too important to
forget. Thus it is that everyone
has need of a memorandum or
book into which you put things.
The student, the. pupil in -acnool,
whose business it is to learn things
and keep them after he has learn
ed them has special need of two
kinds of books.
It is generally admitted that he
needs books out of wnich he gets
things, and he does. That is his
business—getting things. But it al
so is his business to retain what he
gets. For what shall it profit a
utudent if he shall learn all knowl
edge and forget w hat he learns? It
is true that many things that a stu
dent learns he forgets, and he could
not be expected to retail) them, it
is sometimes stated that he is no:
expected to be a walking encyclo
pedia. But how often tne impor
tant, the should never be forgotten
if learned at all, is lost wita the
learning. The core, the gist, the
important of all books out of which
we get things should be carefully
and systematically written in the
book in wTiich we put things.
If we realize that we remember
one-tenth of what we hear and
five-tenths of what we write we
will see at once the importance of
keeping a' book into which we put
things. The advantage of keeping
such a book is at least five to
one. Furthermore to look for that
which should be noted is to study
as the student ought. And to write
down in a book—a note book—
what we have learned is to fix
firmly and accurately in 1 the mind
what we have learned.
In many schools, rural schools es
pecially, too little written work is
done. And in many more too little
carefully written work iB done. We
develop most by doing when we ao
that thing which we best can. The
keeping of a nice note book, the
keeping of a note book in a shape
to retain, has in the keeping a
splendid training. In such keeping
we call into use formulation, com
position, capitalization and punct
uation. "Writing makes an exact
scholar,' - —a quality that is so es
sential and yet wanting in Ho many.
Accuracy and retention both plead
for note book in school.
Note books are usually .kept by
college students but they should
be kept by High School and Public
School students as well. I believe
every student in the fourth grade'
should start a note book for every
subject he studies in the beginning
of the session. I really Delieve
that every student in all grades
should have a note book. Certain
ly every public school Btudent
should keep note books on the
work he does during the last two
years of his public school course.
And these should be a complete
compendium of all that is most im
portant and best in the course. The
student by writing the important
parts of the books he reads into
his note book impresses these parts
upo'n his mind with accuracy and
makes an ever ready reference for
himself of all that is biggest ana
best of what he has read.

Text of ths LNwn, Acts xxvi, 1, 24-32.
Memory Vara**, 28, 29 —Golden Text,
A eta xxvi, 19—Commentary Praparad
by Rav. D. M. Stearna.
With the king and queen and all
tbttlr pompous retinue, and the chief
captain* and principal men of the city
(xxr, 23), this was probably, one of
Paul's greatest opportunities to tell to
earth's great ones the wondrous story
of redeeming grace. Fes tug, baring
had Panl brought In before this great
gathering, said to the king and alt
present that, although the Jews were
demanding bis life, he had not been
able to find that he had committed
anything worthy of death, but that,
having appealed to Caesar, he was go
ing to send him to Itome, though he
could not signify any crime that be had
been guilty of, but be hoped that after
Agrlppa had heard him and examined
him he might have something definite
to write.
The king, having given Paul permls
slon to speak for himself, he began bj
saying that be was happy to be per
mitted to state bis case before the
king because he knew him to be ex
pert In all customs and questions
among tbe Jews. lie therefore asked
to be heard patiently (verses 1-8)
With a word concerning his early life
at Jerusalem and his being brought up
a Pharisee and well known to alt the
Jews, he said that the accusation
against him was that he had become a
follower of Jesus, risen from the dead
and coming agal» to restore the king
dom to Israel, according to all the
promises made by God through tbe
prophets to tbe fathers (verses 4-8)
We hope to consider or refer to some
of these later In this lesson. He then
confessed that like the Jews who were
now persecuting blm, he bad himself
been also a persecutor of the followers
of Jesus of Nazareth, under tjie au
thority of the chief priests and a very
cruel one, even going to distant cities
to arrest them (versus 0-11). Then he
told of his experience on tbe way to
Damascus and of his commission from
the risen and ascended Christ and of
his subsequent obedience to this Com
mission up to that day (verses 12-28).
We may be sure that such an assem
blage never heard such a testimony be
fore, and we can only hope that some
of those who heard became follower*
of Jesus as Paul prayed that they
might (verse 20). Festus certainly
beard more about the "One Jesus"
(xxv, 10) thun he knew before, but he
had no use for such talk and told Paul
that he was mad and beside himself
(verse 24). It was not pleasant to be
told so publicly, but this also was fel
lowship with the Lord Jesus, for they
said of nim. "He bnth a devil and Is
mad; why hear ye Him?" (John z,
20.) Long ago It wns said of the serv
'ants of the Lord. "The prophet Is a
fool; tbe spiritual man Is mad" (Ho*.
Ix, 7). and the wisdom of tills world Is
still of the same mind.
It Is possible that some hi the assem
bly thought P»ul to be more sane than
Festus, and It looks as If tbe king was
Inclined to that opinion (verse 28). The
revised version reads, "With but little
persuasion thou would'st fain make
me a Christian," and Paul's heart went
out to God In great desire, that not
only Agrippn, but all wbo heard him
speak, might become Christians, or, as
he put It. "almost and altogether such
ns I am. except these bonds" (verse
29). The king and governor and others
having gone aside to consult, their de
cision was that Paul had done jiothlng
worthy of death or of bonds, and that
If he had not appealed unto Caesar he
might have been set at liberty (verses
80-32). But with such fanatical Jews
about, wbo were determined to kill
him, liberty would probably hare
meant death to him, and we know
from the Lord's night message that It
was In tbe plan for him to go to Home.'
Going back in our lesson to Paul's
account of bis commission by the Lord
Jesus, at the time of his conversion,
which is a little more full here than
In tbe other two records, note the as
surance of deliverance from the people
and from the gentiles (verses 10, 17),
and compare Jer. 1, 8, 10; Isa., xllli, 2.
Then In lesson verse 18, how full
and clear and simple bis instructions,
showing that all unsaved people are In
darkness and under tbe power of Sa
tan, but that by tbe gospel they may
obtain light and deliverance, tbe for
giveness of sins and an eternal Inheri
tance. the only condition being that
they repent and turn to tyd and then
prove the reality of their repentance
by their works (verse 20). Not that
God needs any works of ours to prove
to Him our sincerity, for Ue reads the
heart, but good works prove to men
the reality of our faith in Christ (Tit
111, 8). Paul declared that by the help
of God be had continued to teach the
death and resurrection of Christ that
He might be a light to Jew* and gen
tiles. as Moses and the prophet* had
testified (verses 22. 23).
