C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, August 4, 1910. As you cannot do what you wish, you should wish to do what you can. Terence. Hon. John G. Carlisle, former sec retary of the Treasury, under Cleve land, died at his home in New York Sunday. He was a man of a big brain. We want to increase our subscrip tion to two thousand subscriber be tween now and Jan. 1st. The friends of Ihe paper are urged to help us in this undertaking. The subscription price is only one dollar a year. Talk with your neighbor about subscribing, if he is not al ready getting the paper. Some few are reading the paper every week by borrowing it.

Call for Democratic Primary Election. It is given out that nine cotton growing States are producing more corn than the average Eastern and Western State. North Carolina produces 41,383,000 bushels annually. Mr. A. H. Eller, of Winston-Salem, has been re-elected chairman of the State Democratic Executive Com mitee. Mr. W. E. Brock, of Wades bore, was elected secretary of the Committee. Governor Mann, of Virginia, has appointed former Governor Claude A. Swanson, of Chatham, to succeed the late John W. Daniel in the United States Senate. - We expect the ap pointment is a wise one. The Republicans of Ohio have nom inated Mr. W. G. Harding for Gov ernor. The platform adopted by the convention endorses President Taft for renomination in 1912, and praises his administration. After the next election Texas will run North Carolina a close race for having tbe handsomest governor in the union, if the Houston Post's pic ture of Mr. Colquitt does not greatly flatter him. Charlotte News The South has made a wonderful The Charlotte News in commen ting upon the defeat of William J Bryan says: "Since the defeat of Mr. Bryan s local option proposition by the Ne braska democratic convention news DaDersall over the country have been announcing that gentleman's political demise. This reminds The Spartanburg Herald of Mark Twain's comment upon a premature notice of his own death "The news of my death was greatly exaggerated.' Those who are so sure that Mr Bryan is shelved had better keep their belief to themselves for awhile if they wish to be considered good political profits." , The South ol The Future. In reverence of Old Glory's stars and stripes I yield to no man North or West. But for the South every true Southerner must feel a distinct and nppuliar affection. That she is behind the North and West in many respects, we grant. The people o the South live yet in shabbier houses there are too many ramshackle barns; the fields are less thoroughly plowed, patches instead of broad, well-kept fields, and the land has been too often neglected and allowed to wash.

Efficient means of transportation is a neccessity of modern civilization. This is pecu liarly the case in a nation of such magnificant distances as ours and where an exchange of products is an absolute essential to the happiness, comfort and progress of the people. President Taft, who has shown the liveliest possible interest in making the rivers do their preparation of transporting the heavier and bulk ier products f the farm, mine and factory, and who confidently looks to the time when the wateways of the United States will be carrying their VmrP nf commerce, will open the convention. It is expected that Ex. President Roosevelt will also deliver an addi-ess with special reference to the rivers of Europe which he had ccasion to carefully investigate during his recent trip to Africa. A representative of King George of England will be present as will representatives from other European countries and South America. increase in population during the "I 11 1 H . the West. There are also fringes of past ten years as the forth coming disreputabe i0oking cabins on the census will show. Several additional e(jges of these Southern towns, and Congressman will be gained.

Rath er must the true Southerner feel that because of these things the call is all the more imperative for him to stay in the South.

It is a common saying that where a good road is put along side a shabby house, the owner ot the house is very quick to make im provements, so as to have his home in harmony with the good road.
