DAY OE .DECISION.
? ulzetis of Beaufort
county cross the; Rubicon. They will
say to the outside world whether or
not the Mattamuskeet railroad comes
to Washington from Belhaven. The
? outeoHjo of ? this mass meeting
awaited with interest by every citizen'
in this and Hyde county. The future
of our people are at stake., the prog
ress of our county lies +n the bal
Monday we either grasp an
other rung in the ladder of progress,
or we fall utterly helpless to the bot
tom h we afford asjoyal elUsens
to adopt the taller frourse? Must we
not take on, new life, new vigor, -and
proceed U] m;nh nnwaed ? ttbreasr
with our neighbors ? can we afford to
say to tho Council of State we don't
want your road ? your conditions are
loo exacting? Never? .. _
The Dally N^wi has too much con
fidence in the manhood, the Integrity,
the loyalty of Beaufort county cltl-j
xenship, to believe other than they
will vote as a unit for the building of I
Ihig road from hh h h won , ??
every citizen along the proposed
route and all over the county, If need
be, will not only use evert' available
means for this consummation, but In
addition give his dollars to further:
the project.
The construction of the Mattamus- :
keet road to this city means too much
feythg community to be aefeatea; u
means totfmuclffttr the- people. The
Council of State have said the road is
yours, provided you meet the State
half-way. Will we do it?
-'1~.T*Z tVf^9-T)eiieVT?K o 1 jT^enp^^WW?
They will accede to the wishes of the
State Council willingly, gladly and
without protest. Monday Is the day
of 'decision. Our people expect to
make history that day ? history they
will never regret.

While tlie laminating hope of
-AmTirrtn boyhood, that no "lad is loo
lowly born fo rise to tlie '"White House
lias been somewhat obscured by the
J eminently respectable antecedents- ot
recent Presidents. it receives new lus
ter from the career of Gov. John A.
Juhuson. of Minnesota, whose death
last week cux short the expectations
of his. friends that he .would receive
?the. Democratic - nomination? for -tire
Presidency in 1912. His name, says
the St. Haul, Dispatch. ."A'Ut always
?controvert the gloomy misconception
that society does not now welcome
? i !iiii iii -i it un:i iisiiiuy irom wtiatever
source they may come, or however
humble the station from whlchthey
spring." -And the Minneapolis Jour
nal. another- Ke]>ubllcan paper, says
of the. D^mtirrai who was tlmm times
elected Governor of ? llepubllcan
State:
"His love of the common folk w'as
sincere. He sympathized with their
struggles. He aided thenbhy precept.
But he did infinitely mere for them
by his example. He proved by his life
that the battle with obscurity and
poverty, while always hard, is- never
hopeless. He has left Minnesota in
?his life a lupmy which blie can never
i lose, more valuable than her grain
covered acres, more precious than the
riches of her Iron hills."
The ?.a:-eer thus referred to Is out
lined as follows by the Philadelphia
Record :
"Persons who imagine thajt a su
perior variety ? of human being can
be produced by breeding from choice
?amir.* in ttWfcWWttl f
of cattle, must find It rath.er difficult
to account for a character like that of
Gov, John A- Johnson, of Minnesota.
His father was a Norwegian black
smith. an immigrants who would
probably have bgen sent back from
Ellis Island now lecause he was in;
temperate. He gave no evidence of
Intollfotuul superiority over the class
he belonged to. He married an immi
grant girl of the same social and In
tellectual level as himself. The hus
band, after a brief effort at reform.
authorities sent him to the almsUouse
so that his Kile, who was supporting
herself and her children by taking in
washing. shpuliTiiot have him -also to
support.,
??Recently when some friend was i
remarking on the career of the son.

The death of Governor Johnson
leaves Mr. Bryan In undisputed con:

the New York Tribune (Rep.). To
quote:
'rHfcs death leaves only two Demo

yet so far he has shown little dlspo- j
sitlon to make a contest for the con-'
trol of the national organization. If

would naturally become the candi

"It'll- lodge meeting tonight." said
Brother Brown.
"But I don't believe that I'll go down.
I'm tired, and It's pretty cold tonight.
And everything will go alright
If I'm not there." So he sat and read
The paper awhile, then he went to

Having stayed at home from the
