The old time political bosses certainly had their way when they nominated Cox for President. The news does not use its edi torial columns to advertise any kind of business but it must make an exception of the Beau fort Building and Loan Associa tion. This institution although young, hardly a vear old, has already left its mark upon Beau JoJL.Ihrough its aid a number The esteemed Ral?igh News, and Observer is manifestly not enthusiastic as yet oyer the nom ination of Cox and Roosevelt. In a recent editorial discussion of the two Democratic candi dates it sets forth reasons why it thinks they will; be elected j but expresses no joy over the prospect and indulges in no ful- some praise or tneir vinues. They were the choice according to the "Old Reliable" of the Ger man and -Irish' elements in New York, Chicago, Cleveland and Cincinnati and they are expsct ed to put their candidates across the line. Mr. Bryan a few weeks ago said that Cox had been identified with thejiquor forces all of his life and that he was more object ionable as a candidate than Gov ernor Edwards himself.

This is a good idea. The people cf that county will have an opper-H tunity of reading some Repubh can news matter and no one will have to undergo the gr;at ex pense involved in equipping and running a newspaper plant. The truth is that there is a bigJ difference between Northern and Southern Democrats.

Notice Service by Publica. cation Summons Any educational scheme tha nelects eight tenths of the peo ple is certainly not a success and yet that is exactly what the school svstem of North Carolina does. Eighty percent of the or ulatioh of North Carolina lives in the country; Jwenty percent liyes in the towns. According to information furnished by the State Suoermtendent of instruct ion the country hildrsn have far less money sriit on them than the town children have and are therefore not receiving the advantages that the should re ceive.. In the school year 19171918 there wa spert on- each rural child $7.71. while the sura of $16.23 was expended for teach ing the children of the towns and cities. The value of the school property used bv the eiffhtv per cent group wa3 7,8m. 000 or $1150 for each child and for the twenty per cent group w $ti500.XO or $38 for each tV.ild. The average salary of theconntrv teachets was $244, as aeainst $486 for the teachers in the towns. The rural child h.idll3dj:V3 of schooling and the town child was favored with 165 days. It is manifestly a poor arrange ment that provides that two children out oi ten shall have good ichool advantages and the other eight shatt ave poor op portunities. This unfair and un wise condition prevails in North Carolina now and always pre vailed here. We shall not dis cuss at ihu time why this u so but we do say that it is a bad condition and ought.to be changed- The average Intelligence of a U the thing that counts.
