I S-t Published Every Thursday HARDY, EiliJsr r.iol rrerrictor. Entered r.t the post-office at Scotland Neck, X. C, as Pe.eoiul-Oto.--s Matter. Thursday. August 22. l'12. The TTous-ft ti.is.sch1 trie s-toel bill over the veto of President Taft, but that is not worrying him. fur he know he ha.l a safe-guard in the Republican Somite. We cannot but feel that the chances for Woodrow Wilson's elec tion arc the host in the hurlory of the party. With so many chances in their favor, if they do not win why the party managers had just as well close up shop and let the fight alone in the future. If the Republican National Com mittee wanted a c! aimer tiVy cer tainly made no mistake when they selected Cha. D. Hilles. The first statement he made concedes a few Slates to Wilson and nothing to Roosevelt, gh ing everything to his man Taft. Hides is certainly the boss claimer. Hon. Lock Cneg will open the 1912 campaign at Lnurh burg, Scot land county, Friday, August 2:rd. Mr. Craig will make the key-note speech of the campaign, and this is peculiarly appropriate, since he is 'our candidate for Governor and it was in this same town in 1900 that he opened the campaign for the con- stitutional amen -.,1. int. Governor Woodrow Wilson made his first speech to thousands of farmers at Gloucester, N. J., cn Thursday of last week. He dwelt at length upon the protective tariff, which he called "the restrictive. tan and attacked Senukr rich and his tai il es. lie has evidently stru k the keynote and he ought to keep right ah that line. The Kins ten Fice 1 'r. nuts it. correctly when it $?.ys: "The issues of the campaign are now rquare'y hefore the Ainerican people. Taft belongs to the do-not h i n g c r o v." d -the let- w el ! - e n o u g h -alone brethren. Roosevelt would cure everything except the iv.o-t im portant ailment that aifects our body politic. Wilson proposes to attack ihh ailment -nd by tarifT re form cure it. And it will not take the average voter long to determine which candidate r-hould i support." ve his i at 1 ti:ii.4! i.Li.oihii'i, Tfiere Was no Cppgl!-!r z?

The elect io-i was very quiet, there bcring no op position to the old officers. The returning board met fax.

We give below the total vote each candidate received: For Sheriff Jos. A. House, 1,200. Register of Deeds J. H. Nor lmn, 1,210. Treasurer J. E. Bowers, 1,201. CcTonor II. G. Rowe, 1,211. Senator W.

Edwards, did not ask for re nomination, and since three candi dates, Messrs. Horn or, Wiggins and Williams a4ced for the positions where only two could gt it, there was a slight contest in some sections, but it will be seen that Mr. Williams lost out. The above ticket will be elected on the 5th day of November. Castles in bpasn. A good many castles in Spain seem to be in danger these deys. CAST , For Infants and Children.

The August term of court con vened at Halifax Monday w ith Judge i .Tnj T. Webb presiding and Solici tor J. If. Kerr, of Warren county, I ( -secuting. Clerk Gary and Sheriff House were on hand with everything in good shape, and court opened at II o'clock. The following names were drawn as grand jurors: E. N. House, J. E. Shfelds, Clee Van gh an, G. Fulgham, J. E. Hawkins, Hugh Bloomer, S. Myers, W. E. Ifarris, W. E. Bishop, B. I), ilnmiil, J. E. Hancock. W. E. Bow ers, Jr.. D. J. Millikin, H. L. Ilas well, R. G. Branch, J, H. Collins, Jr., W. L. Furgerson, L. H. Allen. J. E. Shields was app ointed foreman and M. II. Clark was sworn as officer. The grand jury having been drawn Judge Webb then proceeded to de liver a very able and exhaustive charge. He dwelt at length on the various, crimes ami the duties of the grand jury. An examination of the docket showed that there- were sixty cases for disposal, eighteen of which were for selling liquor, twelve from En field and six from Littleton. This is a two weeks term of court and there are a number of civil eases set for trial on the calendar. ir ll'i Democratic National Treasurer is After Small Contributor, THE PEOPLE ARE TO HELP There Is to Be No ''Tainted Money" Used in Electing Wilson and Mar shall.

The stroorh shaved little man. who is to bo the watchdog of the Wilson campaign nrsnr-y from new. on, was av'r.ed for vital statistics, whereupon it va-5 learned at first hand that he is a cn niter sr.d c:c-3nayor of St. Louis, ir, fifty-six yr-ar? old, was graduated at Princeton ia 1S7G, or three years be fore Governor Wilson was graduated; that ho has two sons who are Prince ten men and a p: rand? on who some day will he a Princeton man; that he ha 3 no notion of seeing New York th!:3 .summer until the Wilson organi zation selected him as its treasurer and that, just at present the one thing that sticks out in the appointment in iiis mind is that the new job cut in se riously upon a most, beautiful vacation "which, ho and Mis. Welis had been en joying in a camp at Littie Traverse bay, Michigan. Mr. Wells believes in Retting at his dc ok at S o'clock in the morning. "We are goin;r to raise our cam paign fund through the small contribu tion,' said Mr. Wells. "I am sure, that a laTge part of the money will be raised by popular sub scription. '"The people have confidence in "Woodrow Wilson, and they will give t they c?n of their means to elect such a man president. ' i am a great believer in publishing; b-oiidc.Tst, before and after election, llr: vaiions contributions made. "There are men who can well afford to give the committee $5,000, but I want rn assure the public that, vie are not gx-ing to have any tainted money. "We are appealing to the people, and we are relying on them to help elect Wiison and Marshall. "I have two boys who have been graduated from Princeton, one five years ago and onA seven. But it is not because ours in a Princeton family that I like Governor Wilson. lie is a great big m.&n and the type that wo should have in prtblic life." Woodrow Wilscn says this Is not a time to be afraid to "speak out in meeting." That, be was not afraid is demonstrated by his logical speech in accepting the Democratic nomination. Roosevelt was willing to crawl from the White House to the capitol in 1 o 03 if he could help his friend Root. To day he would like nothing better than meeting Root up a dark allej The Democrats are depending on the small contributor to help elect Wilson and Marshall. The appeal is being made to the peopla, and the people are responding. The Democrats are not taking the election of Wilson for granted. They are working and working harder than in a score of years and working as a united party. Farmer:-? have awakened to the folly of the bo called blessings cf a protec tive tariff. Winning with Wilson means more than a mere Democratic victory it means restoring real prosperity. Education Through Toys.
