CORRESPOND ENCE We wish correspondents in all the earby post offices. Write at oi«*p. Thursday* August 29 1912 for his health.—Demo- ! Constructive Etforts the last year cratic Pilot. A great many would like to know who is paying for the publication of the Democratic Pilot. Mr. Crowson the Editor says its a labor of love for his friend Kitchin. Now is not this world getting to be a lovely place to live in? We presume Beasely of the Monroe Democrat is doing his work in the cam paign for love, and then Mr. Oliver of the Reidsville Review he has got a heart full of love, and the Warrenton Record, Durham Sun and Herald, Yan- ceyville Sentinel are all in love with this work for Mr. Kitchin and it is only poor Mr. Simmons that has no one in love with him, how “kruel." A BAD LAW. North Tarolina has some laws on her Statue books, that would shame a hoo-doo colony in the heart of Africa. Mow a Legis lature with brains enough to keep out the fire should have passed some of them is beyond comprehension, and yet they remain, serving the only purpose of creating fees for lawyers. In this matter just now we call attention to the law prohibiting the carrying of concealed wea pons, pistols if you please, A law with a license tax so high that it takes the sale of pistols out of the hands of the majority of reputable hardware dealers, but while doing that it has encouraged a monopoly of there sale in the hands of the pawn shop dealers, who of course keep pistols to sell and tempt the vicious to buy. A few days past we were in Durham, and in conversation a CHARLES BKANTLY AYCOCK We have just received from Donbleday and Page printers, a volume entitled “The Life of Charles Brantly Ay cock,” The work was edited bjr R. D. W. Conner and Clarence Poe to whom we are indebted too for this handsomely bound interest ing volumn. It contains much matter of interest relating to the early life of Mr. Aycock and his maturer years, and some of his ablest speeches. It is a work that should find and honored place in every library in North Carolina, whose owner reveres the tradition of his State. For constructive effort in the past and present, we have a splendid ex ample in Senator Simmons. Through his efforts, aided by Congressmair Small and others. North Carolina will have the finest deep-water harbor and port of refuge on the Atlantic coast. The State’s inland waterways will be Of ened, the rivers deepened and har bors improved, good roads will be built and the rural mail carriers—the best and most valued friends of the farmers—will get better pay. In these days of projfressive activit ies, it is men of constructive accomp lishments that the State needs and will have. When it comes to putting up peanut politics against constructive accomplishments, the people know how to decide. An Inference. There died in Chicago the other day 1 man of whom it is said that he knew ihe Intimate history of every Import int family in the city. Some members i>f some of the Important families must mighty glad that he died.—Savai tab News. Signs That Foretell Weather. The country dweller has a thousand weather signs that the city man never knows. A red sunset means very little to th« man in the street, but to the man among the lanes it Indicates rain and bad weather. Smoke that rises straight in the air is another of the signs that a farmer notices and fore tells bad weather. Circles about the moon and sun, streaks of greasy clouds and the pecnliar actions of birds and domestic animals are all in* dications of some change In the weather to the man whose eye has been trained to recognise the signs. MY WHAT A WHOPPER. “He was with a Republican majority then, but he studded his district with rural delivery routes, securing more than any other district in the South.” The above is taken from a little speech introducing Govern or Kitchin to a Madison audience by a young man by the name of Pratt. Pratt is evidentlv up on fairy tales, as his whole intro ductory gag is full of just such stuff. Of course Pratts rot is not Forte. It was the most exciting moment of one of those midnight rehearsals. Try as he would, Donald Brian, the actor, could not Induce the orchestra to pUjr sufficiently loud for a smashing finale. Finally In desperation he called out to the orchestra conductor: “Swell! Vicars, Swell!" Whereat th« phleg- matic, unruffled English conductor stopped the band, turned smill^ly to Mr. Brian and said: “Thank you, sir.” sit still and listen to Pratt lie in his behalf and never correct him. Now is it not so? You must not publish anything about the Govermr that would in the slightest trample upon his dignity. It is not right, it is not nice, you know our Governor occupies a very exalted position, a position that gives him the license to go over the country abuse Senator Simmons solely because he wants the office Mr. Simmons so acceptable fills. SENATOR SIMMONS^ ECONO MICAL CAMPAIGN. If Senator Simmons thinks his campaign is being run on economical plans it is time he was looking into the matter. There id every indication that large sums are being spent in his behalf. According to the rate of charge published in the News and Observer, one of the many long pieces published in that paper in his behalf cost about $80 for one inseition Besides, other things are being done in his behalf that take money. No body thinks that Mr. A. D. Watts has been traveling all over the State for Oh Beasley, Beaslej, you seemed to be measley. It will take more than your mouth to slander Senator Simmons out his office, however much you may be trying to earn your money for your dirty work. Scat, you Stinker. with a pawn broker, was told I it is a little that on the Saturday previous, | Peculiar that the Governor would he had sold thirty pistols, who too, we asked, well he said about three fourths of them were purchased by negroes, the other fourth by disreptable white men. This is a record, for you is it not, and you will find pawn shops in most cities of importance in North Carolina, not selling pistols alone on Saturday but every day in the week. We have given the record of one shop in one day. You do not have to ask a Jawyer to learn what will be the harvest of this infernal work in a month, or a year, although the lawyer know in whose interest this law is operated. A fool negro under some insignificant provocation shoots down a com panion, perhaps snifs out a worthless life, but the State says he had no right to kill, and a case for the court determines his guilt or inoncence at a cost of from one to five thousand dollars, the lawyers comes in for a rake off of about 30 per cent, and the county in which the case is heard is taxed with the 70 per cent which must be paid out of the pockets of honest hard working people. The attention of mem bers of the last Legislature was called to this matter and a law asked for, that would prohibit the sale of pistols in the State, the answer was no it would make it too inconvenient for a policeman to buy pistols. Think of such crazy argument, you can hardly afford to dignify it with an answer. It’s a fool that does not know that the more you encourage, the irresponsable class to carry pistols, the more you encourage crime, and the more crime, the more lawyers fees. We would not undertake to say these things if we had not watched the drift for years. Some day the better element in North Carolina will rise up and drivt from place and power these mercenaries who are thinking alone of their pockets. Downfall of Venfo*. It was December 28, 1806, that Ven ice, the “Queen of the Adriatic," was robbed of the crown that she had proudly worn for more than 1,200 years. By the terms of the treaty of Preeburg, as dictated by that creator and destroyer of kings and kingdoms, Napoleon the Oreat, the ancient re public was annexed to Italy, and the glory of the city of the Doges was no more. Never Did We always scratch the ticket and we have never yet taken part in any kind of a Democratic primary. — Durham Herald. The Herald is a valient war horse in the battle for Mr. Kitchin, so is Laughinghouse one of Mr. Kitchins henchman. Their Democracy is the questionable kind, so ii much of their work aga nst Simmons. Tramp Not Wholly Lost. A tramp stealing a ride on a train jumped off as it passed a burning ho tel, aroused the sleeping lodgers and, .his rescue work done, regained his of place on the bumpers before the train left the yards, A pretty full volume of comment on American human na ture is contained in the brief report of the incident. My Little Girl The langhing guests have come and gone— I walked as in a dream! Was it my hand, my needle, mine, That sewed the silken seam? She grew so graceful, slim and tall. So sweet and maiden-wise; Yet still for me the child-heart looktd From out her wondering eyes. They say it was the Wedding March I heard the players play! “My little girl! My little girl!” Was all my heart could say. —Cora Matson Dolson,' in Youth’s Companion. I KUR-FA-CITE For modes of faith let graceless zeal ots fight; His can’t be wrong whose life is iii the right. In faith and hope the world will dis agree, But all mankind's concern is charity. —Pope. Appeal of the Afflicted. It was Walter’s first visit to church, and he tried hard to remember all the varied Instructions he had received, such as not whispering, keeping his head ‘bowed during the prayer, etc. But during the main petition of the service nature won a complete battle over memory and decorum. “Mother,” shrilled the weary youngster, “when ■will It be time for m« to straighten my neck? It’s like to break If I don't do It soon!" A vast amount of ill health is due to impaired digestion. When the stomach fails to perform its functions properly the whole system becomes deranged.
