Remember after Monday afternoon no season tickets will be sold. Don't forget the children when you buy Chautauqua tickets. Tell your freinds that Mr. Bryan's coming is a certainty. CRIMSON CLOVER The crimson clover crop in thiscoun ty this year was immense. Randolph has caught the spirit of progress, and realizes that more grass and mo -e cattle is the best thing for our farmers. "Asking the uuestion whether Democrats can carry Now York this fall, the New York World goes into j the situation and concludes that they cannot unless through some improWi- j ble contingencies. One of the broad- j er reasons given is that 'for I'D years New York has swung heavily against the party in power in every on -year election.' We hope, nevertheless, th.it it will introduce an exception to the rule." Charlotte Observer. OPEN YOUR HOMES TO CHAU TAUQUA VISITORS. Every home that can accomodate a visitor should be thrown open next week to those who desire to atten.l the Chautauqua. If you can take care of a part of the immense crowd that will be here for the week, notify some member of the Chautauqua Associa tion at once. If you have friends that are expecting to visit you this summer invite them next week and assist in bringing to Asheboro the large.it crowd ever gathered in the town. CLEAN UP FOR CHAUTAUQUA WEEK. The city fathers are to be commend ed for the excellent work being done in cleaning off the sidewalks and side ditches on South Fayetteville street. It is their purpose to carry the work on until the principal streets of the town are cleaned of ail rubbish, grass and weeds. Visitors to Asheboro next week will find the town neat and clean. See that all rubbish is removed from around your premises and help to make Asheboro the cleanest town in North Carolina. Visitors from far and near will be here the Foutrh and Ashe boro must give the best reception possible. CONGRATULATIONS, BROTHER CROWSON The Courier extends congratulations to Editor 0. F. Crowson, of the Burl ington News, who was recently ap pointed postmaster at Burlington by Major Chas. Stedman. The appoint ment of Mr. Crowson comes as the result of the resignation of Mr. Fin ley Williamson who was first appoint ed. Mr. Williamson and Mr. Crowson were both candidates for the appoint ment when Mr. Williamson received the nomination. No man deserved this honor more, as the result of party service, than Mr. Crowson. Mr. J. C Freeman was a candidate with Mr. Crowson in the last contest and s.t r.o time was there any bitterness or mal ice shown. Both men went into the fight friends and came out friends. THE CHAUTAUQUA TAKES THE PLACE OF THE OLD TIME CAMPMEETING. The day of the old fashioned campmceting are about gone and Chautauqua week has come to take their place. Many can remember hearing their parents, grandparents,' and great grandpartcnts tell of ti c i days spent at some favorite camping ground, and of the spiritual feast 'e ceived during the stay there. Hun dreds of people date their start in a life of service for the Master at some service under the old arbor, at some favorite campground. That was be fore the day when churches were dotted over this country so thick' and the campmeeting was a neces sity then. The holding of revivals in the many churches of this country has practically done away with the camp meeting. Still there is need of an annual gathering to which people can come for a week's recreation and spiritual and mental feasting. The Chautauqua has superceded the camp meeting and is an institution which will find a permanent place in the his tory of our great country. The Chau tauqua is new to the people of Ran dolph county but all who will take advantage of the opportunities offer ed next week to hear some of tho world's greatest men will be forever in favor of the Chautauqua. Come to Asheboro in your covered wagons pre pared to stay the entire week. You can purchase a tent for a nominal sum tad erect it near the Chautauqua tent and Spend the week this way. Yo.i will never regret taking a week to at tend this great religious and educa HEARD ONTHE STREETS WHAT OI K TOWN OOllRES J'ONDEXT HEARS AND THINKS MATTERS OK I'l ULIC 1VTEK- JsT DISCUSSED.

( The farmers in Randolph will find three up-to-date roller mills in Asheboro and they can obtain, the highest prices for their grain. Competition is a good thing, , and with ta.ree roller mills i.i Ashe boro there is no reason why any of our farmeis shculd give this town the "go-by" when it come to marketing their grain. Our merchants and busimss men should clean up thtir premises and keep them clean. Clean up , and keep clean is a slogan of the day. and contains sound advice. The ac .cumulati'on of trash and waste greatly increases the danger of fire and disease and if persisted in will fonce the insurance companies to increase their rates. "Clea.i up and keep clean" has its direct finan -cial profit' as well as advantage of immunity from disease besidts im proving appearances. In a great measure the com mercial standing of a town it reck oned aceorjdii-ig to the .number and value of its business enterprises, its moral standing, according to the number and power of its in stitutions exerting a good, influence as opposed to those xrtinpg a bad. These tilings being true, it should be the intent of the citizens of a place to encourage such oew enter prises as tend in any way to make the place better, for a town) isrf great ly wiha its citizens make it. not ing more and nothing less. Every public man, however great, is obliged occasionally to admit a distinction between what he be lieves ought to be done and what he finds himself able to accomplish. Boys with hats on the back o! their heads and loog hair hang ing down over thein foreheads and cigarettes and very smutty sto ries in theiri foul mouths are cheaper thani old. worn-out horses. Nobody wants tl.em at any prlc;. Men won't employ them and senslbl girls woa't marry them. The remark is often made by vis itors to our town thft it is a pros perous town. Travtlingi men, es pecially, speak of the amount of business done here. The reasons for these remarks are, that the grain and produce buyers pay the highest prices that thpf market affords. To the merchants als-o is due a share of the credit. They carry large and well selected stocks, bought in large quantities, at close figures, and give their customers the advantage of the cut. Good journalism has long been one of the best means of educating the English and American peo ples. The rise of great .newspa-- pers is one of the most striking educational phenomena of the pres ent age. Probably the press has had more to do than any other agency in shaping ipublic opinion and in developing the domestic spirit in politics and culture. News papers accomplish; for adults what the public schools do for the young hey liberate and inform the mind. They inspire the will and train the human spirit for! useful action, v In. ine sense the public prints are the school books of the nation, educating citizens and vot t-.r to a knowledge of their duty. A newspaper must stand for some thing. If It stands for business alone, the world will know it; if it stands for character audi principle. for purity In public and private life, for honesty and fairness in our rela tions I with (our fellow-men, the newspaper is aoeducating power for good in all that makes men and wo men better. If the newepaperj stands for nothing but success, gained at whatever cost, its influence a an educator will be a cipher. It an editor is iadifferent as to whether the world grows better, hi a news paper must reflect that 'spirit. If he has faith In humanity, ta tne power of hument love to make this life look bright and cheerful, uncon sciously he will mold 'his editorial words to deepen and Dresden that faith. It is the desire of The Cou rier, to I embody the lal iof a coun ty newsvaper and thereby toromote every good cause, espxUlly the it, swear by It. glory la It. ano cause of education.
