NORTH CAROLINA, OCT. 13, 1916. T1IE VALUE OF CO-OPERATION. At the reception, which was given !a??t night at the public library, John G. Bragaw. Jr.. related a little anecdote in connection with the ueod for co-ope ration that could not fail but make an impression upon his hearers. Mr. Hragaw brought out the point of his Btorv in a v*ry forcible manner. It may 'not sound as well in print, but we're going to try to do our be*t with it for it brings forth one of the most vital needs in our community. Hero it is: "A small l? v. ][\ i::g out on a farm, had been told repeatedly not to try to hoist water up out of the old well, which worked with a chain and windlass, ile was anxious to try it, however, ami one day, when the older people were busy elsewhere, he made the attempt. "Ho started turning the handle and drew the heavy bucket about half way up. and thou he found out that he could not get it up any further, lie was afraid to let go, for he had sense enough to realize that if he did <?>. the handle would fly back aud hurt him severely. So he strained and strained, and he pushed and he got the handle 'way up. but he couldn't get it any further. AND THEN nE YELL ED* FOR CO-OPERATION!" ' The story was well told. Mr. Bragaw, in the minute or two that it took him to t ? ?! 1 it. brought out the point more clearly anil more forcibly han if lie had tried for an hour to define co-operation. THE OLD FORD SCHOOL HOPSE. The new sch-^l building at Old Ford was dedicated with appro I priate eeremouie* yisterday. The building is the best rural school house in the ?-oun?y and one of the host in eastern North Carolina. The old -ch>>"l house burned down last year and it was only a very little* while l-ef??re the progressive aijd public-spirited citizens of Old Ford were raising the money to build a new and better struc ture. That the; i.ave succeeded in doing this has been unanimously admitted by cvervoiif who has seen the present building. The new school one of which any community might fec-l proud. It is excellently constructed and the arrangement of the rooms is especially good. Too much commendation cannot In* given the resi dents of the Old F??rd section for having successfully completed such a project. We need more schools of the Old Ford type throughout the county. And we believe that tlmy are gradually coming. HEARING BOTH SIDES. T 11 the campaigning of the Democratic1 and Republican candidate? throughout tlu* i-iointy. it may have been noticed that when the Dem ocrat? diil tin- -[? aking. i heir audiences were composed almost en tirely of Democratic voters; and when the Republican candidate* spoke, Democrat.* in their audience? were as scarce a.-* pig's feathers. Why shouldn't the Democrats go to the Republican speaking and vice versa What g <*1 doe* it do a body of strong Democrats to turn out to hear a D?*m ? ratio speak i up? And what pood docs it do the speaker*? And, i:j tin* same licrht. wltat benefit do the Republicans derive from heirinflf a Republican speech ? AH the i-hur- !: - of our conntrv send out nrsMonarie*. These men ero to th ? e cum tries where Christianity is not known. They preach amorur the J.'-athens. They not stay at home and talk Christianity t.. th-e people who have already confessed their faith and are meml*-rr. ? a church. Si. why si" ? 1 >? ?' the politicians of our county ? and other parts ? >f th'- country, f -r That matter endeavor t?? reach the voters on the p? ? - ' i iff t: "!<"t And whv should the voters waste time listening to tr -p"eeh 'k;i i! ? * r-i.t s and principals which they already believe; They can h--p '? - ? no benefit fr>?m ir. I'very men t-i Ho broad-minded enough to he willing to hear "what the ?ci.es* o i!..w has to say." When a Democratic speaking is selwd tiled f'-r ".me certain place, why shouldn't, the Republicans turn out t>? hear the arirnni'iits that are brought up? This plan of a man -peaking to men who believe the same a> he himself doe? is* the same h- pushing a wag-n d-im hill: there's no use in it- ? it'll go down by itself. THOMAS MOTT OSBORNE LEAVES. Thomas M? ?tr f)sU?rno, warden of Sing Sing prison, ha* handed in J his resignation. He wan literally run out of the position which he has tilled so well, lie has been the personal friend of every prisoner that was ever brought under his care. He has lalw>red for them and tried to make be"er men out of thein; and he has succeeded in hun dreds of ease*. I If did a most noble work while at Sing Sing. But POLITICS doe*n*t love that kind of a man; ho is too honest and POLITICS ?,? too crocked. So POLITICS pri>eeedcd to pet rid of him and as POLITICS is powerful and mighty, Osborne was" foned to l'o. I' wn- ? shameful pieco of work, but there was nothing else for O-J/onu* t-- do hut resign. However, his work baa not I icon in vain. His will be a case of wh?-re "the fIOO|> that men do will live after them." He has set an example w)ti?di is being followed by other prisons ami the entire country is lieintr tt#s*I as n result.

DEMOCRATIC CATADOCIB OT of PHEUDBirr vnjosm (By Oeorv Oeel) Written ft*' ate Democratic ltttlcaal OnwulrWir fcever vu anyone so fortunate In his enemies ail President Wilson. The forces that light him empha sise Ms achievements and accentu ate the issues more strongly than all the words that could be -used. Against him Is Wall Street, eager to repeal the Federal reserve set that has re leased credit and forbidden usury; the employers who msde money out of child labor; the Shipping trust, still dreaming of subsidies and fur ious against the 8eamen's law that has lifted the sailor out of slavery.. Financial Imperialism, hopeful of the time when It may use the army and the navy as collection agencies; the Armor Plats trust and the Pow der Trust, whipped out of their ex tortions by government manufac ture; the tariff swine, homesick for the Payne-Aldrlch law upon which they butlt their monopolies; the labor crushers who hate the provision in the Clayton law that stopped the abuse of the writ of injunction and the imprisonment of men without trial by Jury; the reactionaries who fought the appointment of Brandeis to the supreme bench because they feared his honesty snd progresslv Ism; The alien conspirators, impudent ly demanding that a president be elected who will take his foreign pol icies from Berlin or London; Shy locks resentful of the Rural Credits law, and all the host of grafters who have been divorced from the good old trough at which they fed for so; long a time. Not a monopolist, not a conces sionaire, not a "hyphen," not a Tory nor a reactionary is missing from tho roll of Woodrow Wilson's enemies. All of them are for Hughes, pouring their millions into his campaign rund, and supporting him with mad enthusiasm in those newspapers and magazines that they own, and in that position of the foreign language press that they have subsldisod. Never was choice so plain. On one side JTPres'dent who has fought for the people and for America; on the other side every sinister force that has been poisoning the wells of democracy, every corrupt Influence that has been taking the teeth out of the Declaration of Independence. The man wearing a hat three or four sizes too small for him at tracts attention to himself, of course much the same sort of attention at tracted by a big store when It uses advertising space that Is only half large enough for its message! kepvbljcaw icoko* ooifcibur I NO DUfOORATlC APPOINT MENTS. (By OMrfB a kill) Written for the feepubllcaa National It Is no t small of G o verndr Hufhw to derote so much time to attacking the Wilson administration because of Its bethlyal of clrll service reform? Of whkj general lhWrSst Ik It that the Democrat* have created a fair, more offices and appointed "deserv ing Democrat*" to places fbrmerly filled try H'e^uWlcan*. Betrayal of civil service reform means waste of ths people's money. Is that a small matUrt ClVll service reform means appointing and' keep ing employed competent men. The appolntemnt of men merely because they are "deserving Democrats" means, In practice, the Wbpbftitment of Incompetent men. Just as does the the replacing of competent- Demo crate with Inexperienced Republicans chosen simply because of their Ser vice to the party. The Wilson Id ministration has created not "a few/' but thousands of needless. tiKles* offices, and has filled these places atad those of thousands of expetlentsd men with incompetents. Of courie. It generally takes three Incompetent* or more, to do the same work that was performed by two trained and experienced men. When It becomes necessary to tax every man who rdxis a little theatre, according to Its seating capacity, to Impose taxes on every billiard and pool table, to add taxes tor the ex penses of every farmer and business man who has to borrow money to conduct his business, is It not of Im portance whether the expenses of the Government are unnecessarily In creased by using its funds to reward fellow political workers, Instead or conducting the Government's busi ness economically with men who can and wlir give value received for the wages they draw? What would you think of the man ager of a creamery who. Immediate ly he was appointed, let ont half the competent, experienced men and put in their places his sons and nephews I and friends, putting two of tham on the payroll for every one let out? That Is what the Wilson administra tion has been doing and that Is what Governor Hughes promises he will not do. That Is what has. In large part, made It necessary for the Dem ocrats to 'mpose various and onerous special taxes. No one objects to a man taking care of his friends, but he should not do It at the expense of other epople. The Democratic ad ministration has taken excellent care of Its friends, but it has done it at the expense of all the people. NOTICE TO OWNERS TO RE1>KEM LAND HOLD FOR DRAINAGE TAXE8 AND A88E88MKNTS.
