Bark- COTTON SEED MEAL FOR CATTLE Owing to the European war, there will not be so good a market in Eu rope this year. It is estimated that the quantity of cotton seed meal on the market will be 500,000 tons more than last year. Cotton seed meal can be bought in the South at prices ranging from $22 to $24 per ton, instead of $27 to $34, the price last year. ' T An even greater decrease has taken place in the price of hulls, which are now selling at from $4.50 to $5.50 per ton, instead of $7 to $9 per ton. In these cattle feeds produced right here in the South there is the world's greatest resource for fattening cattle and producing milk, butter and cheese. Any other country would avail itself of this uneo.uaieil opportunity. Why does not the South do it? REPUBLICANS WITHOUT AN SUE IS- The Republican party has printed no campaign book this year. This is the first time in the history of polit ical parties in this country that either of the two political parties has not been able to take issue with the other party and give reasons why the peo ple thouM support it. The lveord of the Wilson adminis tration is so generally approved by the Amtri nn people, that Republi cans realize that they cannot attack it. A number of Republicans in both Houses of Congress voted with the Democrats for the Simmons-Underwood TariiT Bill, which broke up mon opoly and reduced custom rales to a revenue basis. Up to the breaking out of the Eu ropean war these lower duties and the income tax were yielding all the revenue the government needed be sides giving the people cheaper cloth ing, farming tools, sugar and many other things. The breaking out of the European war closed the marts of trade, and trade with Europe was par alyzed and importations have been so reduced that there is practically no commerce on the high seas. The cus toms taxes do not yield an income suf ficient to run the government owing to the fact that the marts of trade of every European country are closed.

Sur burg, of No. 204 Broadway, New York City. They ought to interest everybody: In the United States there is nearly one-fourth of this gold, or ?1,87SV 500,000. More gold than England and Germany together. .In t think, the natural wealth of the United Slates emials that of Eng land, France and a portion of Germany. Ninety million poopie in a country three thousand miles wide, where everything grows. The natural resources are something. AND, WE ARK NOT AT WAR! Millions of people in foreign countries npod cotton goods, woolen goods, iron, hats, boots, in tact, all the necessities ot life. IK the war stopped tomorrow, it would take time to open the factories and readjust financial conditions in the countries at war. The Unicd States is bound to HAVE A BOOM. The United States did not make the war. We are not responsible for the destruction of lives or property. Sadness and blucness do not help, so Oct busy with new ideas, creative thought; smile, try to look happy; talk about pleasant things; think good times. It is the duty of every man to spend what he can afford and NOT TO HOARD MONEY. The circulation of money means the PREVENTION OF PEOPLE BE ING THROWN OUT OF A JOB. The LACK of circulation is the STAGNATION of business. BE PATRIOTIC, do not HOG PROFITS sell goods at a FAIR MAR GIN, and WE WILL SOON FIND PROSPERITY AT OUR DOORS. The above is true and we ought to be ashamed for any hesitancy or fear that enters our lives. Our country is the biggest, the richest and bv all odds the best on earth and there is not, and never has been, any ground for fear with us. If every American citizen will pursue his usual course and forget the supposed troubles of the day and all of us, with a full and manly confidence in our great and rich land, drive straight ahead there will be no pause.

This is a great er accomplishment than the reform of the tariff laws which took $100,000, 000 of taxes off the backs of the poor and put it in the form of income tax on the rich, who under Republican ad ministrations, paid but little to the support of the government.

And when the Democratic con vention named Mr. W. J. Scarboro, of Asheboro, as a candidate, it named a successful and capable citizen, one: who is as straight as a string and a man who will do to tie to seven days in the weeJt. Mr. Scarboro is a good road enthusiast, a strong advocate of increased school facilities and an ac tive member of the M. E. Church. He was nominated for county Commis sioner almost without his knowledge and concent. But a capable man was wanted for the place from Asheboro and Mr. Scarboro was quickly recog nized as the one for the place and his nomination was quickly made. He was born and raised in Montgomery county and God Almighty never made a better man. Hon. Hayden Clement, of Salisbury, is a fine appearing man and a true 1 'man in every respect. You will make no mistake in voting for him for so- licitor. Mr. Clement has made a fine impression in Randolph and in every county in the district where he has prosecuted as solicitor. He is an able j lawyer and is well fitted for the office of solicitor solicitor. .

Hon. justly upon any. Nothing was done to Lee S. Overman is making the best United States Senator the state ever had and will be sent back to the Sen- ate. During his term in the Senate, Senator Overman has given his sup- port to every proposition which he be- lieved to be to the best interests of the people of the state and of the coun- try. Mr. Overman is worthy of our support and he should receive a larg- er vote in Randolph than any candi- late has ever received. Of course, there is no doubt about the election of Senator Overman in the state. The voters who want peace and happiness vote the Democratic ticket.

Previous to adjournment the House adopted a resolution authorizing the appoinment of a committee to inves tigate cotton conditions in the South and report possible measures for Fed eral aid by December 15. Pisgah, N. C, October 25th, 1914 On last Saturday morning a number of friends and relatives met to witness the marriage of Mr. Walter Strider of this place, to Miss Crissie Luther. Rev. Lester Lucas pronounced the cer emony. Their friends wish them a prosperous life. rency laws were wrong and should have been repealed. But they dared not do it. The money powers to whom they looked for campaign con tributions and the coercion of voters demanded their retention as the price of their support. These money lords also threatened Woodrow Wilson. Their lobbies swooped down on the Democratic Congresfc. But Wilson and Congress shut the doors in their faces and made ta currency law that is ac knowledged to be the best in the world. With the wise legislation of the Democratic Congress and the splendid record of the state administration to gether with the wise and economical administration of affairs in Randolph county the Democratic party asks for an endorsement of their record with confidence. thi rfvtv h73 r Z r Tl.

Well, if nmWnd S featurlay' ven you do, th Republicans certainly have STJgisfaS .ly UcroeilfaS j but M WHY I FAVOR THE AMENDMENTS (By Josephus Daniels.) For a dozen years the readers of North Carolina newspapers have been protesting against being forced to wade through a mass of strictly local' legislation in order to find, after wear iness, what questions of state import ance were receiving the attention of their legislators. The evil of taking up the time of our Legislature in con sidering bills which ought never to concern a body larger than the board of county commissioners, has been presented not once but often by ouv Governors. The last message of Gov ernor Kitchen was a strong argument for an amendment to the Constitution eliminating the mass of petty local legislation which prevents the consid eration of larger measures. Other Governors and leaders have made like recommendations to clear the decks so legislators may be freed from those small matters which monopolize their time to "e injury oi tne state, When Governor Aycock came into office, he was confrQnted with the need of taxation reform and he stressed it in his messages. Governors Glenn, Kitchen and Craig emphasized and urged tne importance ot giving a ire- er hand to the end that North Caro- make improvement possible until the last General Assembly, in a state of affairs that permitted no further de- lay, provided for the submission of a new taxation amendment to the Con- stitution. This amendment was not hastily drawn, nor submitted without long discussion and serious considera- tion. It was framed by a committee of the wisest men in the state. No one can vote against it unless he be- lieves a North Carolina Legislature is not to be trusted. Experience has shown that the only fear of mistake Nor '- There is no danger that hazardous ex- periments will he entered upon. Even with the- taxation amendment, the people will have to blaze the way to secure necessary changes to bring our taxing up to the twentieth centurv. I put much weight upon the long agitation by the people for reform be- fore the Legislature could be induced to submit these amendments. The peo- pie really initiated them and had to agitate, agitate, agitate, before they could secure action. Then the Legis- lature gave long time to their consid- eration. A commission was named to draft them. Public sentiment was tested at all points, and they were There is no doubt that they will be KEEP HISTORY STRAIGHT. The Bulletin says election of Repub- ucan ur.iy commissioners means a saving to Randolph county. Well, it never did. ' Under Republican rule the county s taxes were collected as under Demo cratic ride, and not one dollar's worth of permanent improvement stands to day to commemorate their reign.

Let the press give the true meaning in every issue between now and election day . I journeyed to Raleigh last week to register under the new registration ordered in my home city, in order to return home to vote fof the amend ments on the 1st Tuesday in Novem ber. In addition to the other convinc ing arguments for the ratification of amendments, there is one that should give pause to every citizen. The reve nues that have gone into the State Treasury during recent years have not been sufficient to pay the appropria tions made by the Legislature. There is no state equal in wealth to North Carolina where the appropriations are so small as in North Carolina. We have had to issue bonds to meet cur rent expenses. How can a man keep out of bankruptcy who borrows money to buy bread and buttter for the dai ly needs of his family? He may safe ly borrow money to build a house, or to pay for emergency expenses. No wise man, however, thinks he can long maintain his credit if he borrows mon ey for his daily needs. The same thing is true of a state. Its credit is prac tically unlimited so long as its in come meets its annual budget, but when it must borrow money to meet the annual appropriations, it is pur suing a course which, if persisted in, will weaken and then destroy its credit. North Carolina has been bor rowing money to pay deficits. That cannot go on without reaching the danger limit. Shall the state of North Carolina continue to choose between these two alternatives: (1) Borrow money to pay its daily expenses; or (2) starve its schools and institutions for the care of the insane and other depen dent classes? The first alternative if continued spells loss of credit and ultimate bankruptcy. The second would be to lapse into the Dark Ages when men killed the insane, the blind, the depen dent, to avoid feeding and caring for them. North Carolinians of today will never submit to closing the eleemosy nary institutions which depend upon the state for support. I will never be lieve North Carolina will be content to live upon borowed , money, even if it could find lenders after they had learned the state was jeapardizing its credit for its ordinary expenses. How long can a state expect to borrow money to pay for the bread and but ter it daily consumes? Who is against these wise amend ments? Let us have their names and their reasons. If they do not come out into the open and present at least apologies for their opposition, let every voter in North Carolina cast his vote for these amendments. If the opponents present their excuses for opposing these wise and progressive steps, the people may be trusted to riddle rea sons which are lodged against amend ments which must be adopted if the state is to make its Constitution equal to the needs and aspirations of its forward-looking citizenship. HOC KETT-STAN TON On Tuesday evening, October 6th, Mr. Herschel N. Hockett and Miss Willie Blanche Stanton were married at the parsonage at Randleman, Rev. J. B. O'Briant officiating. Mr. Hock ett is one of Guilford s most popular young business men and a son of Seth B. and Sarah Hockett. Miss Stanton is one of Randolph's most accomplish ed and well known young ladies. Miss Stanton was a student of the James town high school and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Elwood Stanton. Mr. and Mrs. Hockett are a very popular young couple and their many friends wish for them a long and happy life. Isn't this true' Mr. Bulletin. Keep history straight,
