THE COURIER PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY WM. O. HAMMER EDITOR. Asheboro, N. C, November 12, 1914 The hat will be passed Saturday. Printing bills and lawyers' fees come high. Every day is bringing good aews about cotton. The price will be bet ter. Raise a arrest hue and cry and charge in a general way ,nver spec ifically naming any one, that some body has done something awful. The Democrats of the nation are well organized. They achieved prac tical and substantia results in legisla tion the like of which no previous Congress has been able to do. The people of Randolph county be lieve in a fair deal and oppose the methods of the demagogue and the scuttle fish, the Litter muddies the water to hide its own imperfections. Thwe times before this election the political obituary of Thodore Roose velt has been written, but you never can tell when a man is politically dead. It seems that Teddy is deader than ever. Be that as it may, he has one thing to his credit, he died fight ing and with his boots on. Both Houses of Congress look good for the Democrats, especially so when the demagojrues charged up the disas trous effects of the war in Europe to the Democritic national administra tion, and there were those who were to unthinking and lacking in intelli gence as not to know better. It is a wonderful record made by the Democratic party and it is not surprising that the first time in the hi6tory of the nation the party enact ing a tariff hill was retained in pow er in the election following its enact ment. Raise a row at the polls, gather in great numbers and raise a great noise and tumult and terrorize and break up an orderly election and drive the judges of the election away from the voting precinct is what was attempted in three precincts and actually carried out in one precinct in Randolph coun ty at the recent election. The principal feature at the "Indi gestion" meeting at Asheboro Sat urday will be the passing of the hat for collection. Some of the brethren need money, and to inflame the public with a false cry and false charges is the method some people resort to to make the jingle in their pockets. This Id false cry raised will scare nobody and will acomplish nothing. IMPROVEMENT SEEN EVERY WHERE The financial situation grows bright er daily. The rebouad from the shock of war began several weeks before the election. There is marked progress in clearing up the foreiga exchange sit uation. Ia September America exports de clined $62,000,000 and American im ports $31,000,000, the loss in exports being chiefly in cotton and the loss in imports being principally manufac tured products. Cotton is now moving and raw ma terial is active. The Federal reserve banks will open next week and nearly $300,000,- m. Our financial resources have been put on a successful wnr basis. The month of October's showing is $95,000,000 paid on our foreign trade balance and before the winter is end ed the entire debt of $300,000,000 more of our foreign trade balance will be wiped. THE RISE IN PRICE OF FARM PRODUCTS Although cotton is North Carolina's greatest money crop, it is not the only one. The North Carolina cra crop for last year was worth $48,648,000; wheat $7,503,000; oats $2,736,000; rye $465,000; buckwheat $136,000; pota toes $1,968,000; sweet potatoes $4, 880,000; hay $6,914,000; tobacco $30,- 988,000, and there are many smaller It is believed that many of these crops ether than cotton can be doubl ed next year. There ia every reason t believe that there will be a great Increase because the price will contin- ne to rise the longer the European, war lasts. The war baa created an -enormoes demand for wheat, oats and ether food stuffs, and baa cut off the -demand for cotton. The people of European countries engaged in wnr will wear last season's clothes bat tihey must have food every day, and as -they are not encaged in tilling the oil ow but are n war with each thr, they wpt get practically. mH timx food away from, borne and Ame- ff ia bUeut tie only eonntry where fy 1 i-;"'? s& an torn, wheat, ' - .-..' ' : oats, etc., can be obtained in large quantities. More wheat is being shipped from Galveston and from other large sea ports than ever before in the history of the country. The export reports for September and October show that more cotton teed oil is going to Europe than ever before. The reason assigned for this increase ia the shipment of cottoi seed oil is: "Great Britain makes normally about 100,000 tons of artificial butter. She puts in that butter either cotton seed or peanut oil. The French sup ply of peanut oil has been interfered with by the war. Cotton seed oil is taking its place. We look for cotton seed to increase in price as the war goes on. "Holland makes 150,000 tons of butter in which she nss 150,000 bar rels of cotton seed oil or peanut oil. Denmark is coming to the United States for great quantities of cotton seed oil cake to take the place of the sunflower cake she has been getting from Russia." There is no longer any doubt that eventually the markets of South America and many nations of Europe will be opened up for the products of the mills of the United States. The war will afford the opportunity. REPUBLICANS IN THIS COUNTY AT THEIR OLD TRICKS Randolph county is a Democratic- county. There are more Democratic precincts in it than in any county in this Fection of the state. The Democratic officials of the coun ty have given good government and the people are living in peace and happinss and are contented and pros perous. In the days of fusion and famine when the people mourned, prior to 1900, Republicans ran things with a high hand, county scrip was below par, and white Republicans and ne groes would crowd in great numbers and terrorize the voters and by threats and otherwise run the weak kneed from the election grounds. In these terrible days when law and decency were trampled under foot, in their mad carrer of high-handed outrage, the leaders would declare that they had the judges, the solici tor, the puries and county officials and indictment or sjit i-gainst them would amount to nothing. There are tt least three men living right here n Asheboro now who gave utterance to expressions of this character. How different now. No one thinks of bragging about the courts protect ing violators of the law. Finally in the amendment year end was put to Republican high-handed methods by refusal of the election board to count two precincts where evidence of Republican fraud and at tempt at fraud were shown. Since then certain Republican heel ers yelled fraud. Two years ago a fight oacurred ia New Market about the election pro voked by Republican heelers. This year at the electioa there was trouble and an effort to ight was made, the matter being provoked by some of the same persons. The leaders jumped on the train and came to Asheboro and raised a false cry that an election official bad at tempted to commit a fraud. In Back Creek a great noise and tu mult was made. Among other things rocks were thrown against the house in which the election was held. In Richland an effort was made to take charge of the ballot boxes and the counting out by a mob and the two Democratic judges were driven 'from the polls and the Rpublican judge of election and two other Re publicans without authority of law took charge of the ballot box and counted the votes without any Demo crats present as witnesses. There were no election returns from Richland. It is a Democratic pre cinct and according to the Republican count except that for a part of the county ticket it is Democratic this year. The truth about the matter is that a correct count would give Mr. Caveness a majority of two at that box. The Courier refrains from being drawn into a controversy about a mat ter which may come up in the csurts. The reports published and sent out are without foundation and are doubt circulated to try to prevent ac- tion against those who have them selves violated the law. If the law has been violated the courts are open and offenders should be brought to justice. It is the mission of a newspaper tq state facts and not try to prejudice the public mind. Any eases of violation of the elec tion law will come up for trial In this county, and The Courier will jiot to a party ia an effort to prejudice the public mind by making highly col ored or grossly false statements of conditions like the local Republican newspaper which was adopted aa the organ of the Republican party at the last Republican coui.ty convention husj done. I The men who are at the head of the Democratic party in this county, no doubt, are in possesssion of the facts and know what they are doing, and in due course of time will come out with flying colors completely vindicat ed by public sentiment, and by the courts should the matter be settled there. It is learned that the Republican heelers who raised disturbances and who fought at the election and violet ed the election law have employed counsel to defend them and are threat ening to indict somebody for no other purpose than to try to keep from -be ing indicted and punished themselves. Let all good citizens keep cool and investigate and hear the facts as they are before making up their minds upon the statements of excited and irresponsible persons whose pur pose is to mislead and deceive. WILSON'S TRIUMPH The disposition of some of our Re publican friends to exaggerate some of the minor details of the recent elec tions may be attributd to pardonable enthusiasm, but even that is not an excuse for downright misrepresenta tion. In spite of Democratic reverses in many states, there is absolutely no reason to believe that the country is committed anew to McKinleyism, Hannuism and Aldrichism. "Mr. Wilson's defeat in the second year of his term," says the Tribune, 'is as crushing lor all practical pur poses as were the mid-term defeats of that overtook President Taft in 1910 or President Harrison in 1890." This is an error, appearing elsewhere as if by concert, that should not pass un challenged. When Mr. Harrison took charge in 1889 there was a Republican House of Representatives. Two years later the McKinley bill having become a law, he was confronted by a House having a Democratic majority of 94. When Mr. Taft took office in VJW there was a Republican House of Rep resentatives. Two years later, the Payne-Aldrich betrayal having taken place meantime, he met a House hav- njj a Democratic majority of 5b. In both of these instances the peo ple administered an emphatic rebuke to the President and his party. They did more than express displeasure. They did all that they could to re verse them and their policies. Mr. Wilson took office in 191.3 with Democratic Senate and House. As the principal result of the recent elections nationally, he will have dur- ng the latter half of his term the co operation of a Senate with an in- reased Democratic majority and a House with a Democratic majority of at least 20. We do not believe that the Tribune itself will say again that this is "a defeat as crushing for all practical purposes" as the defeats that over took Presidents Harrison and Taft. There is a purpose, of course, in these attempts to dispose of Woodrow Wilson. If it can be made to appear that he was 'crushed" in 1914, the real job that must be undertaken in 1916 may be made easier. To this end it is noticeable that such Republican en-, couragement as was derived from lo cal Democratic reverses has resulted ia a country-wide chorus of calamity, panic and hard times. This also is baseless. There in nothing, in fact, to justify it The American people never were so rich and prosperous as they are today. There never was. a time ia their hie tory when their government was mora just. No man lives who has seen so many popular demands enacted into law by a doses Congresses as now ap pear accomplished on the records of the Sixty-third Congress. Taking the greed and graft out of the tariff and financial absoluteism out of Wall Street has not necessari ly closed a single factory. It has not necessarily deprived a single man' of work. It has interfered with the busi ness of no one whose trade has not been bottomed on extortion and plun der, we have not been flooded with pauper" goods from abroad. We are disturbed only as civilization is dis turbed. Such commercial and indus trial difficulties as appear were due to war and nothing but war. Plutocra cy, showing some symptoms of recov ery cannot belie the facts. That the people who not long ago repudiated a party which sold tariff schedules for campaign contributions appreciate these truths is proved by the complexion of the n w Congress. It is not to be denied that the Demo cratic majority in that body will be smaller than that which appears in, the present Congress, but it is to be noted very seriously that the new ma- jority represents a Democratic victory over a Kepubiican party once more actimj in essential harmony, whereaa the great and useless majority elected in 191Z was due in large part to the schisms of Republicans. In Great Britain a responsible min istry appealing to the people that gained a majority in the House of Commons like that which is revealed in the Sixty-fourth Congress would regard it as an emphatic vote of con fidence. The administration of Pres ident Wilson has received an emphat ic Tote of confidence, and no falsehood can obscure the fact. Assured of public support, it should face the fu ture with courage and confidence. Its past, at least, is secure. New York World.

One of the songs which was popular in Confederate times had a refrain of which the closing line was, "Three cheers for the homespun dress the aoutnern lady wears. Among the most healthful susrsres tions of relief to the Southern plant ers in the present emergency is that proffered by a leading spirit of the uaugnters of the Confederacy, and is to the effect that the women of the South shall now, as they did once be fore, sacrifice to patriotic motives their natural craving. "To walk silk attire," and resolve, until normal conditions are restored to wear cos tumes of cotton fabrics. Such a pur pose generally put into practice b" the matrons and maidens of this station would materially increase the demand for cotton goods of all wades and so stimulate the call and prices for the raw material, if the memorv be ac curate of the veterans who recall the days when homespun was the prevail ing garb of Dixie's daughters, the sac rifice involved in actinsr on this sug gestion will not be great. For though too young ourselves to testify on the subject, we are told by those who are, that never were the Southern women more attractive than during the era when the setting of their charms was a simple gown of calico, trimmed mayhap with bits of ribbon culled from the chests of their Colonial grandmothers. At the official and so ciety functions in Richmond "Endurin' of the War," the most noted ball of the Sunny South, the dames of high degree and blue-blooded demoiselles, were no less charming in gowns of simple stuff and mnke. than h:,.i h.n the goddesses of a former generation when arrayed in purple and fine linen, with furbelows and jewels to match they doffed brocade and fine feathers and donned the product of domestic looms for habitual wear. They were rapid, as is often the casn in thic world of ours, by finding that they had lost nothinir bv their offerim the altar of duty.
