Senator Overman did not seem to think ft necessary to make . any speeches Whin Brocks was after his job but he seems to think it is time to get busy now. The News received a pmrnun , ication last week from Stella but as we did not know who wrote it we could not publish it. We 66 not print anonymous commun ications, as - we .have stated a good many times before. ; ! -v The Republicans rare- raising their campaign money from the people at large many subscrip; . tions as one dollar have been sent in and the limit has been set at one thousand. The Demo crats are getting theirs from the office holders, munition makers, distillers, brewers and anybody else and the Sky is the limit. Our Unfortunate Neifhbo In Naional election times the States t the South of North Car olina are really in a pitiable and humiliating condition. At a time when all the rest of the Un ion is keenly interested in the cut come of the coming election; ' "when the political Norators are . abroad in the land: when the newspapers are filled with poii tics and everybody everywhere is talking politics the people of the section reierred to are stand ing by like children watchhg a circus parade. They are cm- - sdous that something fo'.e. cit ing is going on and that -some- reiresn ine memones ot our readers we quote from the speech the Governor made in. 1916. By comparing that speeeltwith what actually happened the vote rscab placejthe proper valuation on the Governor's present forensi ' ef forts. " H ; .For months a deliberate cam faign of misinformation and misrepresentation "was carried on against the President of the United States to goad . him , into way. Great newspaper s like the New York Journal; circulating from New Y.-rk to San Francisco daily carried screaming headli ness; crying out for War, War, War. . They did' their ; best to misrepresent " and stultify- him abroad, and just here in a New York paper is an article; attack ing the foreign policy of Wood row Wilson, in whichfit has pub lished just last week that the be lief is universal in France, among st Americans, and- Frenchmen alike, that today America would be in the thick of the fight' on the side of the Allies, but for the white livered obstinacy of Wood row Wilson. (Applause) God grant that his liver, may grow yhiter .still and- his obstinancy increase. (Applause) ' Notice To Voers ' Notice is hereby made that the Registration books to "cover the General Election of Novem ber 2', 1920 will open on Septem ber 30th, 1920 and close at sun set on October 23rd, 1920.

There is , no contest there, no real political " paitis a.id consequently no in- terest as to local results. A few of the voters will be herded up by the political bosses and they . wi'l g3 through the form of vot ing for Cox and their State "Democratic" ticket but nothing in the way pf a rea' election will take place.

Scarcity, and hirh prices ot almost ercry conceivable article 'from coal to white paper are How being laid at tbe door of "car atfortage,'' Business men and other citizens who hare not fejt the slightest interest in the supply of freight cars or in any other problem affecting the railways frequently find themselrea enable to buy commod tles which they need or to market ' their products readily and in almost erery instance they ajre told that the "car shortage" Is to blame. Naturally, then, there is wide In terest in the question to' why, shortage of freight cars exists and is not promptly brought to an 1 end. The reason for ' the shortage " is plain. During tha war the business ot the country increased by leaps and bounds but (the facilities ( of the raU ways for handling that business were not increased in proportion.

All efforts were centered on winning the war and the future was left to take care ot it self. Consequently when the railways were returned to their owners at tbe close ci Federal control they found themselves facing a rising v tide ot commerce with a supply of equipment insufficient' tor. handling the business offered for movement. ; Until their property' was returned to them it was impossible for the rail way t companies v to undertake the financing of new equipment purchases' and conditions that have obtUned since March first have been most un favorable.
