- , A Safeguard. ' -
We would admonish the voters
of this goodly county to approach
the ballot box on next Saturday
with no other intention than to
support the man of, your choice,
and the man of your choice should
be that man, and no other, who,
you think, will make good every
obligation concerning both people
and party. Consider also whether
good government will be furthered.
if there be doubts in your mind he
is not the man, for we should vote
a man into office on what we know
' him to be, not what we think he is.
Then, too, the political pitfalls
and snares are many; unconsciously
: at times there are those who sell
.their political birthrights ever
bear in mind that the agencies of
those who barter liberties are
shrewd, the outward personification
is angelic but underneath there is
a heart of stone.
Therefore, safeguard your liber
ties and rights, vote honestly, that
is for the man of your choice
Having done that you have execut-
ed the highest trust ever attached
to a liberty loving citizenship.
Once more the harmonious tran
quility of the goocLold North State
has lbeen disturbed :its political
continuity - has been broken'-and
new political light has been , shed
upon us. Heretofore, less mindfully
have we sported in" blissful ignor
ance of both political .and geo
raphical situations. - The great re
flection was turned upon us - from
Oxford. iN. C. apparently a seat
of great learning.' & learned doc
tor at that point tells in glowiDg
terms and modulated accents . in
the News and Observer just "why
we should have Judge Graham fot
commissioner, lie states, ana
argues that the distribution would
be equal . with Judge .Graham's
election, how in the world he; so
concludes we cannot understand,
unless he believes with - Judge
Graham that the ' J uBge : has a
special call to represent Western
North Carolina:- Brown and Gra
ham are in the same longitude,
while McNeill is away down in the
southeastern part of the state
suffice it to say all east of Greens
boro. "
Further: fallaciously reasons the
learned doctor, no matter if 'a
brother and a brother-in-law of
the Judge hold State offices fit
should not detract from the merito
rious race of the running Judge.
May be not and on the other hand
it mayprove-family capability, and
we cant why it didn't prevail
against Brown. : r -
However, if it has-to come why
not have a Graham family pie and
be done with it.

Hie Cleveland Star had lately an
account of a ball game played un

without saying that Editor Tom
Hudson umpired the game.
The Outlook Gloomy.
It came to pass that Roosevelt
while lately engaged at work, sud
denly desisted from his paragraphic
labors for The Outlook Magazine,
rushed to a nearby hat store and
in about a minute and a half had
purchased a straw hat. The news
of that purchase was forthwith
: flashed by the Associated Press
over the entire country, and at
great expense to both newspapers
: and subscribers.
. We dont care a wrap for that
sort of news. What does it matter
to the people if he bought a hat,
' or even an entire hat store.- What
is so remarkable about the pur
chase that it must be heralded over
" the entire country ? Certainly since
the matter was gone into we should
like very much to knovr whether
he paid for it or had it charged.
We'd soon begin to think that the
! power of the press had been de
prived of its, back bone and sinew
if such items constitute interesting
. 'news, and. we'd thereupon consider
the outlook gloomy for the news
world. The people dont want any
such idle rot as that. Suppose
Theodore had bought an entire
outfit, thereupon the Associated
Press would have "socked" it to
Vus in telling terms.
No matter bow mute and inglor
ious during the past ages, the ad
vent of the Mighty Hunter

To Progress Subscribers.
The Postal Laws forbid publish
ers of weekly papers to send the
paper to subscribers in arrears for
one year or more. . -The depart
ment will enforce this law. This
means that it is necessary to collect
as early as possible all accounts due
The Progress on subscription for a
year or more. Our friends can
save us time and expense by re
mitting at once, or by calling in
and settling when they come to
Marion. This is important. There
are some about a year behind
and these must be paid AT ONCE
or the paper will be discontinued.
The Progress is a live weekly
newspaper, furnishing1 its; readers
with the latest state, county and
city news, and no upright citizen
ought to expect to read it for noth
ing. We do not wish to work a
hardship on any one, and . would
not do so for the price of the pa
per, but we do .expect' compensa
tion for service where patrons are
able. ',T 1 :
We trust that those in arrears
will give this careful and prompt
attention.
Millard Poteat for Treasurer.
Mr. Poteat is a young man who
has had the misfortune to be ser
iously injured while engaged in an
earnest effort to make an honest
living. Before this injury he had
been an active, hard-working Dem
ocrat, but had never thought of
asking the people of McDowell
roan to sire him 'their support
for office, .butnow that he is in
capacitated to do manual labor he
asks the Democrats of McDowell
county to . nominate him for the
office of County Treasurer. He is
honest, capable. and true; true to
his friends; true to the Democratic
party and is worthy and will ap
preciate the nomination he seeks.
If nominated his friends and the
people of the county will rally to
His cause and elect- nun. A more
courteous young man could not be
honored, and a more deserving
young man could not be trusted
than Millard Poteat.
.A Democrat.
Overman Adds $320,000 to Ap
propriation Bill.
A press dispatch from Washing
ton says that Senator Overman has
added $320,000 to the House pub
lic buildings bill, making a total
for North Carolina of $1,306,000.
This is capital work. Being a mem
ber of the Senate committee .on
buildings and grounds Mr. Over
man was able to get in some telling
licks for his State. The Items ad
ded to the House bill by Senator
Overman are $10,000 for Shelby;
$10,000, Greenville; $10,000 Tar-
boro, and $225,000, Raleigh.

The question of a reformatory
for the colored youth is now being
agitated, and $2,000 hss been sub
scribed already, 'which is but a
small start, however as the under
taking is such a commendable one
the matter should be fully counte
nanced for indeed, it is easy to
discern that such an, institution
would yield good results both as to
protection and enlightenment.
