Wb hope the Western wool growers told the President more than they were willing to cough up to the tariff board.

Right they should as Kinston | is a fine place and full of good people. 1 You really can't expect a negro to do a week's hard Work and earn six dollars, when he can sell a. lot cl- whiskey and make the same amount in less than six hours. Wk have always heard that "a poor excuse was better than none," but we don't believe this will hold good in the ' republican party pre^pnses?they are : too thin. A good live Chamber of Commerce in any town can do wonders in the advancement ?f the interest^of the town that will open the eyes of the pessimistic citizens. t Therk is & suspicion tliat the steam laundries have incited this Chinese rebellion ia order to make their rivals quit the collar and cuff business and go home to fight. ? A Stamford tnan has presented to Connecticut a sample soil from every - State in the Union. Now, if somebody would do as much for New Hampshire, it might grow a crop. In the death of J. P.

You can't expect an officer to enforce a law when he knows the public don't wont him to. Champ Clark says 'the Democrats are settled for gaed and predicts rictory in 1912. This sounds good to ua,rand we only hope he sees "the handwriting on the wall." It is truly time that an end is being put to the "iniquities" of the Republican party. There is no use "cussing" the laws; they are usually all right. The trouble generally is in the officers; however, the public need not expect the officers to, enforce the laws when they know they trill be severely criticised by the very People from whom they should receive encouragement. A WHITE man named John Rhodes, of Zebulon, and about 50 years old, was found dead about one mile from that place on the Norfolk-Southern Railway on Saturday morning with his head crushed and brains scattered and exposed. It is supposed thaT he was killed by one of the night trains. Is passing through eastern North Carolina this week we saw a sign t''at redd "given away factory sites for any manufacturing enterprise." Now why can't Louisburg start something like|this only don't wait for people to read the sign, but send it to them. You mav not know who to put the proposition to, but with an organization like a Chamber of Commerce they wid be easily found. Let's try it. Wb won't use names but we1 have been informed by those who have taken part that ther^ is a great deal of gambling being carried on by the boys of Louisburg. This is something that should be stopped. If the fathers of the boys can't stop it then the officers should be instructed to stop it, but if jt is your son he "catches, don't "suss" the officer and try to have it "squashed," go up and pay the fine like a man and take steps to have your son change his ways ia the future.
