just i.t the close ol' tiie vi^u-
teeiii-3 ».t;uLu:>, ihe 0i>iJ0s>iiii/ii, ltd by
Joffcrion, pioouifcd the services of a
b’.'.ihani uuTl vitriolic newspaper man
.!U exiie from France. They estab-
iisned him iu Phiiadtlihia—the then
ciii ital aud set niui to i)Ouriiig red-
huL broadsides iuto the administia-
tlon. The sensitive Adams was goad
ed beyond tiudurauce and largely in
order to get this particular scribe out
of the way procured the enactment of
the Alien act which piovided that the
president of the United States could
by his own authority expel any for
eigner from this country. The act be
came law but never went into opera
tion. iifcfore it could become effect
ive Jefferson had overthrown Adams
at the polls aud his first act was to
repeal the obnoxious law.
Thus It is seen that what strikes
UB as being medieval narrowness ap
peared In a very ditferent light to a
respectable minority of our forefath
ers only four or five generations ago.
A $25,000 BRIDE.
Dan Cupid has a very pkiguey way
of upsetting business plans some
times. About six weeks ago a South
Dakota capitalist sent his son to
California to investigate a mine.
Weks passed and nothing was heard
from the young hopeful about mines
or any other subject. The father had
Instructed him to be careful to go
late detail about any adverse partic
ulars and inferred from his silence
that the proposition was gilt-edged.
He invested $2.^>,oou.
It appears that tTie boy got as far
II Lo« Angeles and rtyistered at a
hotel. Turning away from tlie desk
his eyes caught sight of a (Jivinity in
’skirts presiding over the hotel tele
phone exchange aud from that mo
ment his mind was empty'of all save
her Image. He immediately laid
siege to her heart, postponing all
Buch unimportant matiers as mine's
antil a se.'ison when tlie main busi-
aess of life—getting the girl—should
liave been accomplished. He was de
voted In his attentions aud an elope
ment to San Francisco limilly crown
ed his efforts.
Now he has waked up to the fact
that his father is out Just $2^,000 on
account of his preoccupation, me
mining stock proving soinewhat less
valuable than the paptr upon which
it is j»rinted. We don't believe the
'>oung man is taUinj; a somber view
of the situation, however, or is un
duly depressed. His actions would
lead one to imagine that he thinks
that particular girl worth as many
times $25,000 as one would care to
figure up. Whether liis father is in
clined to share his ideas of comi'ar-
atlve values Is open to greater doubt.
TURNING JIMMY ADRIFT.
The paths of glory lead indeed but
to the grave. Consider the case of
one James Schoolcraft Sherman, at
present vice-president of this great
republic. Prior to 1908 he was a re
spected and powerful member of
Cannon's oligarchy in the house of
representatives. Deriving his seat
from a rock-ribbed republican district
he was insured a long and tranquil
lease of prominence. Then he got am
bitious and accepted a place on the
tail end of Taft’s ticket, in due time
attaining to the dignity of presiding
over the senate—about the only
thing the constitution gives the vice-
president to do except wait.
This is all very well as far as it
goes but to be satisfactory it should
have a ceft'ain amout of permanence
about it. In about eighteen months
Sherman’s term will expire and he
has hardly gotten used to his ex
alted position. What pain It will be
if he Is not allowed to sit in glory
for another four years! And yet
this pain the cruel Taft is said to be
desirous of inflicting. Sherman's pe
culiar distinction is in believing heart
and t^oul in a higher protective tariff
than anybody else believes in and
Taft has been told that ultra-high
tariff views had best be thrown over
board before the fall of 1912 rolls
arouiul.
Thus the country is likely to be
treated to the pathetic spectacle of
“Sunny Jim” being turned adrift. One
who remembers the pristine glory and
present obscurity of Charles W. Fair
banks dees not need to have the hor-
r.-.r of s;:ch a situalvm thrust u-.tcn
his mind. It i.s only too evident. Sher
man haii: but one consolation possible.
Tt is (inite on the cards that after
tiu- I 'ei iion of 1012 he may be able
to sit in his I tica home and reflect
tliai at least he has never been a
vlefeated candidate for the vice-
i'residencyl
IT IS TO LAUGH.
ilentlemeh. the matter is becom
ing serious. Time was when Macon's
attempt on the Georgia capitol was
a subject of merry jest on W'hite-
ha ; str'-el "ave rise tor gales of
meir!’r.f“i'.t in the purlieus of Feach-
irie. I’.ul 'tliat time has passed.
Cometh 'Ihe Constitution—what bet
ter sponsor could there be for At
lanta Sentiment?—and urgently sug-
;'"is to Its r.laron neighbors that
. 1 .III !n uoihIs the siiin uecps-
sary f^>;- greasing the v,heels of the
capitol removal scheme—might be
ueuer expended u[on Macon's two
iiisritlitions of higher learning -to
wii Mercer I'liiversity and Wesleyan
("oilege.
Forget the capitol, says The Con
stitution in effect. Education is much
more worthy of effort than mere pol
itics. Sij’it a million between these
two tine schools and bask in the con
scioM.sness of possessing the two
greatest denominational institutions
to be found in the South. Note the
naivete of The Constitution’s pledge:
Atlanta is wiillng to help. too. At
lanta has a profound regard for both
institutions and would like to see
them, properly endowed and equip
ped, remain in Macon to shed luster
upon botl; Macon and the state.”
Who doubt it? Mercer and Wesley
an are doing fine work as it is and
would be better fitted for such work
if richer by half a million apiece.
We have no doubt that Atlanta and
the rest of Georgia as well would re
joice at such ail endowment for these
schools. But what, precisely, has
that to do with the capitol question?
V>’hat is to hinder Macon’s raising
one million for the schools and an
other for the capitol? Why should
the advocacy of the former spell the
dropping of the latter?
When Macon first started after At
lanta's scalp we had a suspicion that
the latter was underestimating its
rival’s persistence and strength. W’^e
are sure of it now. This benevolent
offer made by The Constitution in
behalf of its city should provoke
smiles all around the circuit. We
don’t believe that solicitude for its
schools can be urged to such a point
as to make Macon forego its darling
ambition in the achievement of which
the humbling of Atlanta would be the
sweetest part.
The sooner the 'VS^’ake county health
squabble is settled the better it ^-will
be for the public interests. The trou
ble with those Wake people is that
they are worse than the Cork Irish
when it comes to enjoying a forcible
difference of opinion.
sia
We think it’s very impertinent for
those forest fires in Cheeterfleld coun,
Virginia, to threaten to interrupt tho
wire communication which has been
established with the court house for
use during the Beattie trial.
An Atlanta man is planning to visit
the San Francisco Exposition of 1915
in an airship. Shucks! By that time
we may be visiting the canals or Mu’s
in airships.
Despairing of a coherent answer to
“What is whiskey?” the agricultural
department has sought something
easier. The farmer sharks are now
discitssing “What is a cherry?”

Statistice of deaths from tuberculo
sis in W’inston-Salem for the first sev
en months of 1911 compared with the
corresponding period of 1910, show a
decrease of 25 per cent in the rate.
One prime requisite for other towns
desiring to rival the Twin CHty in this
respect is to arrange for just such sta
tistics as have enabled Winston-Salem
to make clear her record. Figures are
dry things but without them there is
only a snail-like kind of progress to be
made in health affairs.
W'e have been sorry for poor Harry
Thaw on the understanding that PWe-
lyn and his other troubles had 'nade
him a pauper. Now comes word that
he si ill has an income of $G0,000 a
year. We have a sneaking notion that
we know some folks who might be in
duced to try to get along on a pittance
of $G0,000 a year.

Discrediting the Cause.
‘The people 1 saw' in the riot this
afternoon are little removed from ani
mals. Their womenfolk trail around
after the police, gesticulating at them
in sjieechless fury. Women with dot
ted liair and dreadful faces follow
them about. They pvit out long red
tongues at iheni—they make disgust
ing signs, and scream disgusting words
which are fortunately rendered into
foul and almost meaningless jabber by
ihti furious intensity of the hate in
which they are uttered.”

the cause of the laborers is no
stronger than its woakeS't element, the

expected to be judged, and with that
suffer. These creatures are in no
sense representatives of labor. They
do not know what labor means.

Abolishing Typhoid.
The Texas manoeuvre division of 12,-
G.‘)9 men had only one man down with
typhoid fever. He was a private of
the hospital corps whose iramunixation
had not bee't completed when he was
attacked. He had a light case and got
well. The entire division was vac
cinated with the anti-typhoid serum.

camped in Jacksonville in 1898 during
the same season.that the manoeuvre

Moroccf'. consisting ot 13,000 men. Dur
ing the ijfiod from April 21 to June

Morocco too is a hot country.

Road Repairing.
The Post was never so much im
pressed with the fact that Rowan
county needs to adopt a system of road
repairing than it was on Tuesday last
week when it made a trip to Atwell
township to attend the meeting of the
(;ounty Farmers’ Union. The meeting
Mas held at the Patteison school house
which is reached by travelling over
the Lincoliiton publ'c road. This road
is macadamized -out from Salisbury
for five or six miles. The work was
done about .six years ago and is now
in a deplorable condition. The macad
am has worn away in places the earth
has washed away leaving ridges.
A person passing over the road
can not hpip but think that the com
missioners are making a mistake in
not repairing the road befo^’e it is
entirely worn out. If allowed l-o go a
fev: more years the macadam will have
lo be. replaced altogether AvitJi a new
material. This is poor busirf^ss sense.
The Po.st urges that the Rowan
hoird of commissioners take up this
matter at its September meeting and
Eccpt a road repair system. The Lin-
colnron read is a sample. The other
macadam 's&yj- built'about the same
lin'o an^ in just as bad condition.
It It- folly to continue building roads
and then permit them to go to waste
when by proper attention they can be
l>ept in good siiape all the time. One
of the chain gAsgs should be placed on
repair work at once and kept at it un
til all the macadam has been repair
ed. Unless thif: is done the roads will
soon be as bad as ever. We again
urge that the commissioners take up
this matte/.—Salisbury Post.
