CHAIRMAN ELLER'S COMMENT ON THE BETURNS. Gain in Democratic vote on State Ticket over the vote it 1006, 21.830 Over the vote in 1904, 16,341 jGI :m received in 1904, 128,761 •" 44 1906, 123,272 Khehin " 44 1908, 145,102 The State Ticket carried the Fifth District by 1,875 majority; lost the Eighth District by 903 majority; lost the Tenth District by 134 majority. Excepft on Presidential years, the Bth district is Democratic. Barring a colossal corruption fund, the 10th district is safely Democratic. Apart from local and personal contests, that may come to any party at any time, the sth district is a rock-ribbed stronghold of Democracy and will remain so. The Republican vote this year is a mere spurt. It is abnormal and cannot be maintained. It was their last opportunity to fosl and frighten the illiterate v jte about the Suffrage amend ment. It was their last and golden opportunity to practice duplicity in regard to both Rail road and Prohibition Legislation It was their year to use the pDwer of commercialism in poli tics to the honest and timid and to purchase the pur chasable. The Democratic gain this year, great as it appears is normal, and will be maintained. The Democratic Party is accustomed to cast a large vote each election because it has worthy measures and men to be voted for. Not so with the Republicans. Since 1896 thousands of Republicans have refused to vote because they had no stomach for their party. This time they were able to sit up and take their medicine even in company with a large in crease of the brother-in-black. The Democrats have taken notice and are glad to know just what the utmost strength of their opponents is. They are glad for the people of North Car olina to know that they are safe only so long as the true Demo cracy remains true, —true to principle, true to party unity and true at the ballot box. They are glad for the people to be re minded how easily the benefits )f White Supremacy can be lost, —lost irreparably the moment the regroes present themselves to their old allies in charge of the registration and election laws. The chief boast of the Repub licans is that Bryan's majority is only 22,843. In 1900 it was only 24,000, with a much smaller vote than he received this year. Judge Parker had a larger ma jority in 1904 but his vote that year was 124,121. Mr. Bryan's vote this year is 136,927,—a gain for Mr. Bryan on the president ial vote—l2,Bo6 What hope for Republicans or fear for Democrats springs from the see-saw record of the Bth, and 10th, districts? Examine the table: Bth District. 10th District. 1900—Republican Republican 1902 —Democratic Democratic 1904—Republican Democratic 1906—Democratic Democratic 1908—Republican Republican What Republican is so bold as to count on victory; what Demo crat so timid as to fear defeat in the Legislature with the follow ing takle before him?

In Ohio and Indiana the Republicans this year had to bear the brunt of a Prohibition election, and they went down in defeat Rock-rib bed Maine barely escaped. That the Democracy of North Carolina has grappled with this problem and with other great problem of regulating Public Service Corporations and has emerged from the conflict with its vote increased 21,830 over two years ago (17 3-4 per cent), and with its grea} majority in the Legislature unscathed, may well cause our critics to pause and ask themselves if the wish is not father to the thought. When they talk about Democratic de feat. Other Plans of Corn Culture Mr. Clarence H. Poe, ed itor of The Progressive Farmer, writes us that "theres another side to the Williamson corn plan; the side of practical tests side by side with other improved methods of corn culture; and weighing by these tests thus far it has been found wanting." He favors us with tile record of results achiev ed by other methods, as they have appeared in his paper, aad we take a great deal of pleasure in reproducing them. - We powerfully impressed with a be lief that it is practicable to raise c®rn on a large scale, and profit ably, in the South. Mr, William son is first to give practical rea son for this belief; if others have found a better method than his so much the better for the South. It would be strange if in his first experiments in departure from the old and unprofitable way he had achieved the best ultimate results, but he is entitled to the credit of having blazed the way. We respectfully invite the atten tion of our farmer readers to the publication elsewhere in this paper fron The Progressive Farmer. We have no purpose to give them any advice about their business —an impertinence from woich The Observer has always refrained—but ifjit can print any thing from practical sources that will be ef benefit to them it wants to de it.—Charlotte Observer. Hit the Overhead Bridge. On Wednesday afternoon be tween three and four o'clock Mr. J. S, Timmey of Hickory, a firw man on an extra freight on the C. &. N. W., was riding stand ing on the top of a freight car along with the conductor and in passing under the Poplar street bridge was hit just below the eyes bv the bridge and knocked down, but the conductor caught him and prevented his falling off the car. He was taken to the depot and Drs. Wise and Wright called to dress his wounds and afterwards he was taken to the Keener House where he remained until Thursday morning when he went to his home in Hickory and is thougnt he will be all right in a few days. The train was mov ing slowly or he would have been killed outright.—Lincoln County Times. A business can go without ad vertising—so can a wagon go without greasing; but in both instances it gees hard- Courtship in Church, A young gentleman happening to sit in church in pew joining one in which sat a young lady for whom he conceived a sudden and violent passion, was desir ous of entering into a courtship on the spot, but the place not suiting a formal declaration, ex igency of the case suggested the following plan. He politely handed his fair neighbor a Bible (open) with a pin stuck _in the following text: Second Epistle of John, verse five "and now I beseech thee, lady not as though I wrote in a commandment unto thee, but that whieh we had from the beginning, that we love one another." She returned it pointing to the second chapter of Ruth, verse ten. "Then she fell on her face and bowed to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou should take knowledge of me seeing that I am a stranger?" He returned the book pointing to the thirteen th verse of the third Epistle of John "Having many things to write upon to you, I would not write with paper and ink, bat I trust to come unto vou and speak face to face, that our joy may be full." From the above inter view a marriage took place the ensuing week.

REID, Cashier | It Doesn't Pay. My friend, there are many things in this world it doesn't pay to do. It doesn't pay to try to pass yourself off for more than you are worth; it tends to depress your market quotation. It doesn't pay to try to aet a living without work. You will work harder and get a poorer liv ing than if you did honest work. It doesn't pay to be a practical joker, unless ynu happen to be the victim. It doesn't pay to rest when you ought to be working; if you do, you are apt to have to work when you ought to be resting. It doesn't pay to cry over spilt milk; neither does it pay to spill milk—Dr. S. A. Steele, in Work. Eat all the good food you like. Quit dieting. You don't have to diet to euro dyspepsia.

Af ter trying a number of remedies and several physicians, I was just about ready to give up in dispair, I saw Vinol advertised and decided to try it, and it has done more good for me than all other means combined. It has built me up and restored my strength until I now feel twenty years younger, and am able to attend to my work again as usu al." Job Jeavons, 1036 Lind St. Wheeling, W. Va.
