Internal development and Improve ment tends ta the up-building of any citizenship and mt take pride in the progress that , has been made under Democratic government in the build ing of roads and the extension . of means of communication and trans uortation all over the State, and we particularly approve of the work in this behalf by the Good Roads As sociation of North Carolina. We recognize the great growth and improvement of the State along ma terial and intellectual lines under the policy of the Democratic party in the support and maintenance of the com mon school system of North Carolina, and the' pledge of the party hereto fore made of a four-months' free school in eery district of the -State has been fully met, and we promise the continued support and improve ment of the public school system of the State aad the extension of the same to the institutions of the State for higher education, to the end that these-institutions may be placed upon a permanent basis of extension and maintenance consistent . .. with the growth of the schol system of .the State and the increased population and demands of her citizenship, and we favor in the schools of the State a more liberal instruction in agricul tural training and the encouragement and development of the agricultural intertests in such, schools. , The supervision and control of public service corporations is a well recognized right of the State and na tional government and we pledge our selves to the enforcement of this right in the interest of the people of the State consistent with fair and just treatment of the public service cor porations, and grant no special privilege to any person or corpora tion.

The funeral will be held tomorrow morn ing at 10 o'clock at the home, after which the interment will be made at Rocky Ridge. . " .. Want a Salary Basis. Salisbury Post. '--. The salary instead of fee comoensa-' ting basis for eounty officials is being discussed no little in Salisbury and the eounty outside' this year and it is not unlikely that the Rowan delega ion at Raleigh will be pressed to make the change. The agitation for. a salary basis is not new. It began some five years ago and while Rowan's senators and representatives have never been an tagonistic to it the hitch that has invariably arisen has been the ques tion of salary. The office of sheriff, to illustrate, has seen its emoluments sadly diminished since the office of tax collector for Salisbury township was created and pays nothin Eke com mon reports credits. Yet, with the exception of the collection of taxes right at his own door, the responsibil ities of the sheri ffare just as great if not greater owing to the increased population of the county. - The office of register of deeds, of the utmost importance, is another il lustration in point. While the rout ine work of the office is as laborous as ever the fees are far below the public estimate. Those who are agitating the change insist that good salaries shall be at tached that it shall not be made to appear that the county offices are being let to the lowest bidder. Patton-Wadflworth Wedding. Charlotte Observer 15th. , ,u ; : , The weddb? of Miss Louisa Wads- worth and. Mr. Joseph C. Patton, which took place at the home of the bride-elect on North Church street yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o'cloftk, was one of the simplest and at the same time one of the loveliest that Charlotte has ever known. The vows were taken in the presence of a select company of the relatives and friends of the young couple and before Rev. Gilbert T. Rowe, pastor of the Tryon Street Methodist church. The halls and parlors of the Wadsworth home were beautifully decorated with palms, ferns, sweet peas and various cut flowers. The home, always lovely never presented a more y beautiful scene... The impressive service of the Methodist Church was nsed. Mr. Pat ton and Miss Wadsworth entered, to gether, tne ceremony following im mediately. Later they left for west ern North Carolina, where thnv will spend their honeymoon. Returning aoouc tne nuaoue or August they will make their home in the city. . . " Prayed Too Plainly, Sned for LibeL ; Dr. R. B. Fisher,' pastor of the Ne oga, 111., Presbyterian church, is de fendant in a suit for libel brought by Jacob. Strohl for" $5,000 because the preacher prayed "amost" too plainly for StrohPs welfare. "O Lord," prayed the minister, right out in church, "O Lord, - make Brother Strohl a better man; carise him to pay his debts and have 'him cease back biting.5' ' Other defects in the charac ter of the brother were touched upon startling both Strohl and the congre gation. ; .

If it be broken or have a faulty eartn connection it is i. 1 . . men a source oi grave danger.

Outside the house the places of danger are proximity to walls and buildings and iron fences. Another danger is a crowd. The va por which rises from a crowd tends to lead a flash toward the crowd, r In the open country one of the most dan gerous places is the bank of a river. Avenues of tree, lakes unA tiAnos are likewise dangerous. li any one doubts the danger of a hawthorn hedce let him tab H stand a safe distance during a re spectable storm and watch the effect The lightning will dart along the hedge like sheets of fire.

Prospects are fine for a splendid school this year. Two members of the faculty are doing special work in the summer school of the University of North Carolina. The faeulty has been strengthened by the addition of seeral efficient teachers. Entrance re quirements have been raised, and the course quite materially strengthened. This, however, is not intended to ef fect regular students in the higher classes. But as the lower classes pro gress rigid adherence to the curricu lum will be insisted upon. Rooms are being rapidly taken, and indications point to an overflowing attendance at the opening on September 8th. Messrs, M. L. and E. T.
