It affords us very great pleasure to announce that Hon. W. E. Daniel will be a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, subject to the action of the Democratic party of the State. No man in North Carolina is bet ter equipped for the "office. For twelve years he was Solicitor for the Second District and was easily one of the most powerful prosecuting attorneys the district has ever had. He represented Halifax county in the State Senate in 1907, was chair man o'i the Judiciary Committee of that body, and was always on the risht side of every question for the best interests of his constituency. Learned in the law and well vers ed in parliamentary rules and usages of legislative bodies, he would pre side over and direct the business of the State Senate with ease and dig nity, reflecting credit upon his na tive county and the State at large. Always a Democrat, without shadow of turning from tl-e tenets of his party founded upon principle and oquai justice to all pop'e. he should he nominated without opposition. Weldon Roanoke News. We are pleased to offer our en dorsement of the candidacy of Mr. Daniel for Lieutenant Governor. Let his friends throughout the coun ty and State get busy and he will stand a good show of receiving the nomination. ftEWS HALIFAX. Hsns c? laSsres! Reported CcuQly Ssa?.' Froni The Halifax, N. C, Oct. 24 There seemo to be quite an epidemic of colds, sore throats, chills etc. in and around town for the last few days, and many of our people are wishing for "Jock" frost to come around. Thcri was much apprehension on last Friday by our low-land corn growers because of the great volume of water rushing down old Roanoke, and there was fear that the splendid cros of corn would be JJost, but Saturday morning tiie water was falling and in only a few places did water get out from the river, re sulting in scarcely any danger. We heard an old colored lady say Satur day that she hauled out her corn in a hurry, piling it up as long as it would stay on the cart, and then bringing out a turn each trip on her ::hou!der. f There was one of the bummest of bum shows here last week that per haps has struck this old historic town since the Cornwallas days. A man and his wife, three children, pet dogs and rabbits, a large tent, graphophone and the necessarys for a slight-of-hand performance, also a moving picture machine. The first evening quite a crowd attended, but were not impressed much with the program, as things would not work without hitches. The second even ing the doors were opened, but no performance, no crowd attending. Mrs. VV. T. Worthy and little Miss Frances last week spent some days in Scotland Neck with Mrs. Harrell.

The Farmers ars Urged to Rals? Their Own Supplies. Editor The Commonwealth: Just now the cotton farmers cf the South are greatly depressed by reason of the exceeding low price of cotton. Every one who knows anything about the cost of producing cotton certainly must have observed that it is now selling below the cost of pro duction. This state of affairs is claiming the thought and attention of many of the ablest men of the country of all vocations. To be sure, the farmers feel the stress and pressure of the situation more keen ly than any others. While it is barely possible entirely to relieve the embarrassment of the present crisis so that no farmers will suffer loss by reason of the low price of cotton, it is entirely practicable to hedge against the recurrence of such a crisis again. While I have nothing now to offer I am led, by reason of the present situation, to emphasize suggestions that have been made to the farmers many times before, suggestions which I regard as wise but which many farmers have failed to follow. A thousand times and more has it been suggested to the farmers of the South that their only sure pros perity lies in their independence, and that such independence can be realized only by the raising of home supplies. On the principle that "water dropping day by day wear? the hardest rock away," I write to add whatever emphasis I may tt; what has already been spoken and written in urging the farmers to follow the, wise policy of producing their own supplies. If I may be pardoned for express ing my own preference I would say to all farmers that I would rather tread independently in brogans over my own ordinary land than to tip dependency in patent leathers over the geod soil of others. A slice of the ordinary ham from the meat box in ones own pantry should be much sweeter and far more toothsome at any farmer's table than the choicest breakfast strips supplied through a grocer. Round, puffy buttermilk biscuits made from the product of one's own barn and dairy are far sweeter and better than those made from "shipped" flour puffed with sodaraties and buttered with "Fox River," though the choicest furnish ed by the best grocer. One important item in.the furnish ing of a farmer's pantry is wheat Sour, and wheat may be produced in almojt any part of North Caro lina. It has often been said that the farmers in this immediate com munity cannot successfully raise wheat, but I am sure that is a mis take. Perhaps we may not be able to grow as abundant crops here as are grown cn the clay soil of Pied mont Carolina, but with as much care for the wheat crop as is gener ally given to the cotton crop it may be grown here without loss, to say the least. The possibility and prac cicability of successfully raising wheat in this community has been clearly demonstrated during the past few years. The season for planting wheat is near at hand and I trust that more farmers will plant wheat, produce the grain from which to get their own flour, and so take a long stride towards the home independence which is so much needed.
