iTke Carolina Watchman y O. H. STEWART, Editor and Owner ' FtibBshed Every Wednesday, r 123 Wert Innes Street SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: Watchman, 1 year, . . S .75 Record, 1 year, 75 The Progressive Farmer, 1 year, LOO i All 3 for a year each, only $L50 Entered as second-class matter January t9th, 1905, at the post office at Salisbury, N. C, under the tctol Congress of March 3rd, 1879. Salisbury, N. C, Aug. 18, '15. Secretary McAdoo has given notice that he will deposit $80, 000,000 in Southern banks to move the cotton crop if necessary. Oh ye calamity howlers what dye think o'thatr The Inter-State Commerce Com -mission has granted the express companies the privilege of increas ing their already exhorbitant sates. , If this institution, snppos ed to have been established to guard the people's interests, has ever permanently tamed down a rate increase, we have failed to note it. The road leading from Lexing ton to the Piedmont Toll Bridge on the Yadkin in Davidson Coun ty is being rapidly built and soon a good road will be had from Charlotte via Salisbury to Greens boro. If Rowan and Davidscn can, without straining their finan ces, buy this toll bridge aDd make it free, at least to local t raffia, it would be a great boon to the citi zsns of both counties. Judging by the program of the North Carolina Publicity Bureau North Carolinians are extremely anxious to dispose of their, hold ings and, we suppose, leave the State. This bureau's self im posed job is to induce immigrants to oome to North Carolina aod take up land, beooms citizens, crowd out the natives and take charge of the State. If the peo ple permit this, their children and children's children will have a big and lasting sorrow to nurse . As water for irrigation must be b enured by the very oheapest method poisible.tp.- be profitable, the United States Geological Sur vey in a recent bo I let in indicate the well method, eveu when pumj i )g is ' ueeessary, is superior to others. The nudf-rerooud water supply id piedmont North Oaro- ma not only furnisher an exceed ing desirable quantity for dona tio purposes, but bdiug mere cheap ly obtained, shows that Salisbury ooutemplates doing something, in takiug water from au open, - sewer infected stream, that twenty years from now will be mcst heartily oondeuVned by every intelligent citizen. The most dangerous feature con neoted with the collection of taxes and the disbursement of publio funds, now rampant, is the tend ency of small communities, neoes sarily limited in means, to ereot plants and conduct business on a scale equal to those of New York, Chicago, Pittsburg, San Franoiioo and other large oities, straining every point to raise large sums of money and trying every meaus under Heaven EXCEPT ECONO MY. Our reoent bond eleotion, as most bond elections do, indioated the injastiee of men who own nothing, many not even have been in the community long enough to pay poll taxes, going aud were carried to the polls to vote against oroDertv owners, home owners and in many, instances womeu who own property and deprived of a voioe in the matter. Suoh con ditions. however, was given some consideration by vhe last legisla tur9, acd if we are not mistaken, was passed and ratified prior to ' ur bond issue measure, but has been ignored, yet may be cause for invalidating the election. This chapter, No. 22, requires that "ALL residents of legal age, ow ing realty, irrespective of sex" shall sign a petition for certain elections, which includes bond issues. As stated above this law was ignored by the Salisbury offi cials. Hon. W. T. Bickett. our pres ent attorney general, is beiDg highly spoken of as a proper can didate for governor and we have no boubt that he will, if elected, make an efficient official. The Watchman has no candidate, but it wants to see a man in that office who will understand that he is the servant of the people, that he will perform the duties legally assigned him and will not go be yond them. We are not making complaint against any, but if the people are to have any rights left them, the time to head off program making by a few officials, multi plication of offices, increased tax ation, aud the arbitrary conduct of affairs, suoh as the Davidson County bond issue outrage, often contrary to the known wishes of a maj mty of the tax payers, is at hand. Any man who has a lot of plans of his own to be made law or put into effect otherwise, does not regard himself a servant, but a boss and should be told where to get off. If the people do not wake up soon it may be too Jafce. UNIVERSAL PEACE The Merchants' Association of Statesville has endorsed the Hol lis rural oredit bill and has gone on record to do what it can to have the law put on the statute books. We are not aware of the exact provisions of this contem plated aot, but it seems to us that some steps should be taken to make it possible for any one who can provide proper security to ob tain a loan without paying a bonus besides double interest as is now the case. We are not much on class legislation and only endorse the idea as a step in the right di rection as all should be fed from the same sponn. A farmer re cently told us the difficulties of getting a small loan although he had Und twenty-times the value of the amount wanted. He was required to pay for a search of the records, a bonus and then 6 per cent. Sometimes borrowers are required to pay an additional four per cent, on a six months' note for "getting" the money. Much of this is the result of the State's fixing the rate at six per cent, and then taking very nearly half of it baok in taxes. This nation la now in the midst of a controversy ag to how best to pro mote universal peace. That question we will leave for diplomats to dis cuss, but peace within nations Is no less Important than peace between nations and it Is heavily laden with prosperity for every citizen within our commonwealth. Many leading politicians and ofttlmes political platforms have declared war upon business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood In high places and hurled "gas bombs" at industry; thrust bayonets into bus iness enterprises and bombarded ag riculture with indifference. Party leaders have many times broken dip lomatic relations with industry; sent political aviators spying through the affairs of business, and political sub marines have sent torpedoes crushing Into the destiny of commerce. Dur ing the past quarter of a century we have fought many, a duel with prog ress, permitted many politicians to carry on a guerrilla warfare against civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honest' enterprise. No man should be permitted to cry out for universal peace until his rec ord has been searched for explosives, for no vessel armed or laden with munitions of war should be given a clearance to sail for the port of Uni versal Peace Let us by all means have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home.

Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman long for the ballot? When all is said and done, is not the selection of the butcher more im portant to the home than the election of a mayor; is not the employment of the dairyman a far more Important event in the life of. the children than the appointment of a postmaster; is not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the im portant things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow? Be it said to the credit of woman hood that it is not, as a rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast the ballot; it is not the mother who teaches her children to say "Now I lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; it is not the daughter who hopes to reign as queen over a happy home that longs for the uniform of the suffragette. It is, as a rule, the woman who despises her home, neglects her children and scorns motherhood that leads parades and smashes windows. zsz faith. ; Aug, 17 Mrs. Dsn Smith and her three ohildron of Kichmoud, re visiting her friend, Mrs. John Brenton. .

When you enter the agricultural de partment of the county fair, you feel your soul uplifted and your life takes on a new power that is the inspira tion f the soil. You are overpowered by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene that is the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the voiced of nature calling you baek to the soil that is opportunity knocking at your door. It is a good chance to spend a "quiet hour in contact with the purity and perfection of nature and to Bweet en your life with its fragrance, elevate your ideals with its beauty and expand your imagination with its power. These products as food are fit for the gods, and as an article of com merce they ought to bring tip-top prices on any market in the world. The products of the soil are teachers and preachers as well. Their beauty gives human life its first entertain ment, their perfection stirs the genius in artists; their purity furnishes mod els for growth of character and their marvelous achievements excite our curiosity and we inquire into the won derful process of nature. Before leaving the parlor of agricul ture where nature is parading in her most graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfec tion, let us pause and take a retro spective view. How many of you know that after these wonderful prod ucts are raised, they can seldom be marketed at a profit? Take the blush ing Elbert a, for example they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion the nation's favorite vegetable every year rots by the acre in the Southwest for want of, a market and as a result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cot ton nature's capitalist often goes begging on the market at less than cost of production. - It is great to wander through the exhibits while the band Is playing "Dixie" and boast of the marvelous fertility of the soil and pride ourselves oa our ability to master science, but It is also well to remember that there a marKet siae to agriculture tnat TT A fSSrm (DA JLIL 1HE LAST CALL -or this GREAl GIGANTIO K1RE SALK.
