Let's be awake to the situation and see that, nothing of this kind occurs from this district. Of course this wiil be denied, but the intelligent cannot be easily fooled and should sue that otherare not. It is rather tiresome to see a little newspaper continually wanting1 some one shot, or some official expelled, when the little scribbler hasn't the. nerve to face a sick jack rabbit at home. . The King" murder case serves to show how much can be said and written without giving any information, also how much rot daily newspapers will print when the opportunity presents itself. They are school children now. During the idle summer months you know they didnjt have any time to spend in the gymnasium, to play foot ball and have frolics, but now it is different. Three or four hours per day in school is a terrible strain on children these days. Venus says he is arranging to start an old loom and have some home made cloth manufactur ed. This is a good idea and might be followed in other lines, "the manufacture of shoes for in stance. Cowhides are being shipped from this section and get into the hands of speculators und the price of shoes is getting almost prohibitive. Let's have morto home made goods and give the speculators a chance to die out. The whiskey interests are be ing hard pressed these days and with the State prohibition laws an the natioual bone dry law, they are neariog the end of their Members of the Salisbury Chapter of the Red Cross are selling season tickets for the Peo pie's Agriculture Fair to be held here October 22 27. The fair managers owe it to themselves to let it be known what a '"season ticket" means. Heretofore those buying a season ticket were un dert he impression it meant admis sion at anytime, day or night to the grounds, and many who could not attend in the day time, found it necessary to pay extra to go in at night. This was considered an injustice and did not help the association. In all fairness this matter should be thoroughly un derstood. The fair is a good thing and ought to be liberally patronized, but let's have no tricks. Some comment has been made relative to the public road between China Grove and Salis bury which we have 1 een antici pating, yet no doubt the county commissioners have been doing the best they could under the circumstances. Upon reflection some things have taken place re cently that indicates., a decrease in labor supply and an increase in the cost of material. The people of this Stare voted for prohibition some years ago and it was then predicted that court houses, jaiis and chaingangs would be considerably less ne cessary and much would be sav ed in this way. It is a com mon occurrence now t3 be no cases before court and often the superior court holds Only a week's session instead of two.

The defeat of woman suffrage by practically a 2 to 1 vote in the Maine referendum should not be taken as typical of the feeling of all sections, for there are many sections that will make it 4 and even 10 to 1. The natural con servatism of the' State was against so radical a change in the franchise. A still more sig niixant factorwas the antagonism aroused by the recent picketing of the White House by the mili tant suffragists. The repudia tion of the picketing by the .suf fragists of Maine could not undo tlie damage already done in- the minds of many who, before the picketing, were open to" convic tion. Nor could the prejudice i aroused by this incident be over come by the advocacy of suffrage by prominent people outside- the stale, by the governor and the majority of the Maine delegation in congress, and the support of both political parties and of a large majority of the daily and weekly newspapers. English suffragists dropped their mili tant tactics with the outbreak of the war, and have since received the. promise of what they hud I long battled for in vian.! It is stange that after our entrance into the war we should have wit nessed at Washington the most militant incident in the history of the suffrage movement in this country. The vote in Maine should be taken as a rebuke to those who think that militancy will help their cause. The Maine election also indicates another very important under-current, that of the people doing their own thinking and voting and re fusing to be led by the spell-bind ers or party machines It seems to have been a case where every body was willing except the peo Si a ub-ss an as iratei LOTS OF s9 Bl&'ralware?
