The p'aee to express your prefer
ence among Democrats is at the
primaries.
There are thoe who complain be
cause primaries are iirR'ed to take the
place of the riiiptors in naming
party ticket.
It is important that every Demo
crat go to the primaries on Saturday
afternoon of this week and vote hi:
sentiment for every office from consta
ble up to Clerk of Superior Court..
Next Saturday afternoon is the
time fixed for primaries to nominate
county officers. On Saturday, August
15, the Democratic County Conven
tion meets in Asheboro. It would be
best if the various contests could be
settled in the primaries.
The friendly contest now being
waived tor the nominations tor coun
ty otVices in the primaries next Satur
day v. ill only make the party strong
er. It is important that the Demo
crats in the various precincts po to
the primaries and vote for the bes
and strongest ir.en to fill every posi
tion.
Th most important county ofiicei
to be nominated is not sheriff or any
one of the county oilices that pays
we!!, but the board of county com
missionors should be the best and
safest business men that can be
found, men who cannot be pulled
about and changed bv those who
have oi'y tonciies and an axe to grind.
There is no reason for attaching
importance to anonymous letters. The
man who writes one is a coward and
any charcre rontained in such n letter
is fa'.-'c .ti,1 without !'our,.!atio:i. lle
ceit!y W" have .-vi .-evera' anony
mous '.-;t""!'s nil of which nuriioited
to be - ritten by some patriotic per
son. In our time we have seen sever
al such communications and we have
never soon one yet that contained n
word of t ".;th. They are always writ
ten by some toward'v person who
would burn ycrir barn or home if not
afraid of the clutches of the law.
BESIDES CALAMITY WHAT
The chnrce that Democratic rule
and legislation have caused dull busi
ness contains the cure for political
workers of high degree and low. which
has been passed along the line from
the Washington headquarters of the
Republican party. This chargf has
been proven false; hut manifestly,
many Republicans .-till hope that by
continuing the melancholic din they
may convince the country of its des
perate case. But from the Democrat
ic standpoint, what is there to face
aside from these lamentations?
The House of Representatives eon
tains 4:i" members. Are any 100 of
them united upon a program of oppo
sition to Democratic policies and
measures that involves anything more
concrete than this dismal chorus of
dole ?
Does one-fourth of the member
ship of either house propose to repeal
Underwood Competitive Tariff and
substitute the I'ayne-Aldrich-Smoot
Tariff of Privilege? Does any appre
ciable percentage of the Democratic
opposition intimate that the now Re
gional Reserve Bank Act orght to be
discarded and replaced by the Aldrich
Central Bank or the antiquated bank
ing system which broke down so dis
astrously in 1007? How many Re
publican or Progressive politicians
will sign their names to a declaration
that President Wilson's corageous
and determined fight for reform of
anti-trust laws now being prosecuted
at the risk of his health, ought to be
abandonee! ? Should the President,
confronted with the evidence of the
lobby's sinister activities, have re
mained silent and thus have permit
ted agents of invisible government
to continue to do business in the same
old way? Do they want Mulhall back
again, a secret agent of the Rocke
feller banks in the Treasury Depart
ment and Secretaries of the Treas
ury taking the midnight special for
conferences with the chieftains of
the Money Trust every week of so ?
Should the labor legislation of the
present Democratic Congress be re
pealed and the anti-injunction and
the contempt bills be withdrawn?
In every instance the answer must
be a negative one. The evils which
these acts and measures deal with
have cried aloud many years for rem
edies. Other parties and other lead
ers have talked remedies; the Demo
crats entrusted with power for the
first time in eighteen years, have pro
vided remedies.
FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS
To the Democratic voters of Ran
dolph county whom I have not per
sonally seen or written to, I hereby
announce myself as candidate for the
office of Register of Deeds subject to
the action of the Democratic prima
ries and county convention.

OCEAN'S OF WHEAT
Wall Street may be steeped in
gloom if it likes. Kansas doesn't
care. For Kansas has li4 million
bushels of wheat.
One hundred and eighty-four mil
lion bushels! The figures are incredi
ble. They are too big to have meaning.
The mind doesn't get them. About all
that the average man can grasp is
that the yield is almost exactly double
the biggest previous yield in the his
tory of the Mtate and that was a
yield that made Kansas throw up its
hat
One hundred and eighty-four mil
lion bushels! At' an average price of
(io cents a bushel that " ill net the
farmers of Kansas 120 million dollars.
To get the meaning of this 120
million dollars, fa'! back once more
on comparisons. The Kansas farmers
will get twice as much money from
their wheat this year as they have av
eraged for the iast five years. A good
ly portion of their regular income is
doubled in a year.
The prosperity of Kansas is going
to set a new mark.
Mortgages are going to be reduc
ed, money put away in the bank for
insurance against unforeseen events,
and improvements made about the
farms that will add to their produc
tiveness and make 1 i t'e richer and
more varied in a hundred ways.
Plumbing will be installed in thous
ands of homes, new lichting systems
will be introduced, better clothing and
furniture v ;'.l lie in demand and auto
mobiles and pianos an 1 talking ma
chines will be called for.
The prosperity of the farmer will
filter through to the merchant and
manufacturer and to their employees.
Industry and trade in every depart
ment win be stimulated. The money
that the sun and the rains have pulled
out of the ground will eventually find
its way into the pockets of the work
ers and their families all over this
great So ith'A o:rn country.
The New Haven may have its
troubles, and the east may shake its
head in doom. But Missouri is com
in with splendid crops, and Iowa
Nebraska and Oklahoma. And Kansas
Kansas has raised 1S4 million bush
els of wheat. Kansas City Star.
SOUTHWEST TRADE BRISK
St. Louis. Mo.. Aug. 3. Hundreds
of fall buyers, the advance guard of
the men who pour into St. Louis, arc
here now purchasing all kinds ot mer-
handise. Depleted stocks have caus--d
this ear!- buving. many merchants
having bouent closely in the sprin.
and netrlected to place any onrs uur-
X the summer. The last of the 4,000
.".OHO btivers who visit St. Louis
r fall will be in town by August
20. They usually betin arriving
abvit August 1, an l hotels are taxed
to i''ir capacity for several weeks.
The earlv arrival of the buvers has
use 1 an' odd situation in some of
the large Washington Avenue mer
chandislng houses. These buyers have
arrived ahead of the salemep. who
usually stay out in the territory un-
AtiErusx 10. The sa'es managers
and floor managers and indoor sale
forces of the firms are booking large
house orders." The chief buying is
n dry goods and shoes lines.
The trade buyers are from St. Louis
trade territory, which embraces the
ites south, south-east, south-west
and west of St. Louis.
Robt. K. Lee. secretary of the Man
agers' Bureau of the Business Men's
League, said yesterday that the local
merchandising firms were experiene-
ng a record business and considered
the early arrival of the buyers a good
sign.
The outlook for the south-west is
especially promising for an era of
prosperity. The merchandising firms
are greatly relived at the turn affairs
have taken, and their reports and re
views assert that the latter part of
1914 will see a great revival ot busi
ness.
PENALTY OF RUNNING
Charity and Children.
The writer is not a candidate for
any office and does not intend to be,
He has a better job than he could ever
hope to secure in politics, and al
though men with bees in their bonnets
will not. accept this statement, he
far happier than he would be holding
the best office in the state. Mr. K. t.
Beaslev recently ran for Congress in
this district and bore his part of the
legitimate expenses of the campaign.
Those expenses were the printing and
distribution of the tickets, etc. He was
defeated for the nomination, and a bill
has been presented to him ot some
SM00 for the payment of the poll hol
ders in certain counties in the district.
This bill Mr. Beasley refused to pay,
and he is everlastingly right. Poll
holders do not deserve, and should not
receive any pay for their services. In
a number of the counties no bill was
presented for this service, but in
half dozen of them these citizens un
der a "rule" of the Executive Commit
tee exercised their rights and demand
ed pay. If Mr. Beasley were a mil
lionaire he would be justified in re
fusing to pay one cent. In the lhird
District Mr. Charles R. Thomas de
clines to enter the race though he has
a strong following in the district, be
cause under the "rule he will be fin
ed a thousand dollars for making the
race whether he wins or loses. How
does it come about that in this free
country candidates must submit to
this outrage .' buch a precedent will
mean that a man with a family to
support and blessed with only moder
ate means will be ruled out of all po
litical campaigns and only the rich can
run. We honor Mr. Beasley for
smashing a rule so odious and so con
trary to the American spirit and if
Mr. Thomas wants to run we would
not blame .him to run like Beasley
did, and meet only the necessary ex
penses incident to the campaign. It
ought to be posible for any man the
people desire to make the race for
any office though he may not have an
extra shirt to his back! Some of our
finest representatives have been poor
men, and it is unjust and unwise to
throw any impediment in their nath-
way,and levy tax on such men or their
friends and for purposes wholly un
necessary. Glory to Beasley! He has
the proper conception of the rights of
an American citizen and he is quite
able and quit willing to give a reason
for the faith that is in him that will
be accepted by the people and that
will put his foes to confusion!
STEEL CAR COMPANY BUSY
Builds Addition to Hammond, . Ir.d.,
Plant and Increases Force.
Chicago, July ". A marked im
provement in business is noted by the
Standard Steel Car Co., of Hammond.
Ind., just over the border from this
city. Three hundred new workmen
brought from the Fast, have been put
at work, while old workmen laid o;V
several months ago were taken back
last week.
One thousand men are now employ
ed in the factory and an addition is
being made to the construction plant
to meet the demand of new business.

Lynchburg, Ya., July 5. The shoe
factories of this city have resume
worn alter a weeK shutdown for re
pairs. This is the shortest mid-sum
mer shutdown in recent years. Tin
Craddock-Terry Company will put Tut
or 800 additional operatives to woil
as iast as tney can do secured ami
trained. This company will increase
its payroll during the next twelve
months by $NO0.W)0, a condition due
to the enlargement of its business ia
the Southwestern states. Within a
month or two more shoe workers wi1!
be employed here than ever before.
WATCH OFT. SENATOR WEEK.-
John W. Weeks, our junior United
States Senator, ought to be on his
guard, or some of his Democratic as
sociates in Washington will be point
ing with pride to the showing made
the local savings bank in the Sena
tor's own city, if he should join the ca
lamity howlers and claim that tip
new tariff had raised the Old Nit !;
with working people.
As a rule, it is the middle classes
that make up the great bulk of the
depositors in Massachusetts savings
banks. Savings bank depositors arc
regarded as a barometer of the times.
For the year ending July 14 the sav
ings bank in Mr. Weeks' home city
showed a gain of SSO.O00 in deposits
over the year previous and was thr
third largest gain in any one "ar
since the incorporation of the institu
tion. Boston Globe.
EUGENE PIERCE ALBEA DEAD
The Winston Journal has this to
say:
Mr. Eugene Pierce Albea was for
many years a well known traveling
man and formerly lived at Trinity.
Randolph county. He died after a
long illness at Winston-Salem on Fri
day, July SI, 1014. Mr. Albea sustain
ed a severe fall 10 years ago from
which he has never fullvrecovered.
and three years ago was afflicted with
paralysis.
Mr. Albea is survived by his wife,
who was Miss Cassie Bramejtwo sons,
Messrs. Charles and Norman Albea.
one daughter, Miss Eleanor Albea.and
one sister, Miss Julia Albea. His two
parents and two brothers passed awav
to the Great Beyond several years
ago.
The passing away of Mr. Albea will
mean another breaking of the ties of
the older citizenship of Winston-Salem,
and it is with a peculiar sadness
that those of that generation, as well
to those ot the younger genera
tion, lament the death of this gentle
man, whose lamily has stood for all
that is best in the community.
FOR THE HOUSE
Mr. Editor:
Many Democrats who believe in
progressive measures favor Mr. E. L.
Moflitt for the Democratic nomination
for the House of Representatives.
Mr. Moflitt believes in the nolicies
cf our great chieftain, Woodrow Wil
son, and will be one of the strongest
members of the General Assembly if
elected, and at this important time
will be of great service to the state.
I have also heard the name of Dr.
G. A. Foster, of Liberty, suggested as
as a good man to nominate. He too,
would make a good man, and would
make an able and creditable represen
tative. VOTER.
