They are planted in February or March and gathered in June. This is a quick turn over of , cap ital invested and besides the same land raises another crop ot cotton or something else. 1 he recent organization ot a large fish oil and scrap company here will mean a great deal for the industrial life of this commun ity- . A good many people are say ing that in eliminating Mr. Page from the Gubernatorial contest that the Democrats left out their best man. 7" v UtdMUlVV 44 1W braska, Mr. Bryan's own state, iif&recent brimary the Demo crats polled 76,000 rotes" while the Republicans got 130,000. Many other similia? instances gan be (shown. ' . It looks then like a Republican year, but there is going to be a considerable fight The Demo crats have enjoyed being in pow er for eight years and will give up with great reluctance. As to what sort of a showing, they will make depend largely on their . convention next week. That will have acted soon and then the people can take the case and render their verdict. On The Honor Roll country. The recent elections, i Real Estate Transfer 7 pnrnaries and straw , votes, have . shown this. For instance in Ne -'$eal estate-transaction .as ire The total Democratic vote for Governor in the primary was only about 125,000 with all the hurrah stuff that the candidates indulged in. As the Republicans expect to poll at least 150.000 in November it looks like no mat ter who the Democratic nominee may be he is going to have fight on his hands. They say the boll weevill is coming this way. Well so far we have not heard that he can eat potatoes or soy beans, to say nothing of Harker's Ishnd onions We think we know who is going to get the Democratic nom - ination for Governor but we an not going to tell yet. Some of our exchanges are coming to us in a much smaller size nowadays and some are not coming at all. We guess paper must be setting, a . little scarce with some of the bretheren. Platform And Candidate; The Republican National con vention has adopted a coiaerva tive platform and put a cnsera tive candidate on il They have thrown djwn the gage of battle to Internationalism, Socialism, Bolshevism and the various other isms that are plaguing the hu man race. The party stands for a rule of common sense agains; a rule of non sere. One of the best arguments ir. favor of the nominee Senator Harding ar.d the platform on which he will run is, that the oft repudiated Bryan is bitterly opposed to both. This certainly ought to commend candidate and platform to the American people. Bryan trots out his old thread bare arguments about "the inter ests and 'Wall Street" with which he has to often tried' to Jool the people and utterly failed in dorng so. Asa great many President! have been Mr. Harding ii a self made man. In his youth he learned to be a printer and did for years work on s newspaper, lie is the owner and Dublisher of a newspaper now and is a sue CcmJuI man of bniness. Vtor ovrr in politics he tabetnsuc-cessfuL-having amen to the United States taute of which UJy be is aa honored and lnflu-erti-J member.

N. Poindex ter of the State University rnd based on the reports of the State Auditor-and Superintendent of Public Instruction there are 33! counties in North Carolina that draw more out of Ihe State treas ury than thev pay into it. We are pleased to' note that Carteret County is not one of these "pau per" counties as they are called. According to the statistics Car teret paid into the State chest in 1918 $7,482 more than she took out and stands higher in the column than 66 other coun ties. A very surprising thing about this matter 19 that certain coun ties that are runnnSfH tn h among the best in the State are either in the "pauper" list or else rank very low m the "surplus column. Among these may be mentioned Ashe, Catawba, burke Lincoln, Gaston and Wilkes. Gaston county is the largest cot ton manufacturing county in North Carolina and for that mat ter in the entire South. It has a thriving little city in it and many small towns and a large number of rich rr.en ar.d Corporations, f nere is a great deal ot wealth in Gaston and u is absurd that auciia county has to have help trom Carteret and other snoder attly wealthy counties. Probably tne truth is that in a lot ot tue&e counties property has been assessed tar below its real value and tnat they are avoiding their respons.bihties to themselves and tne aute. The people cf Caaefet may justly reel proud of the tact that tney are not relying on other folks to educate their children. State Of North Carolina Department Of State Certificate of Dissolution .
