Two things at which we aim and for which we have been work ing we wish to mention here. We have long realized that Johnston county deserves and must have a first-class newspaper. Her po litical, educational, financial and moral interests need and demand such a paper. We have been try ing to make Tub Herald fill this place and all the tune we work to improve it and widen its sphere of usefulness. Another point we work for is to get the people to give Thk Hkb ai.1) their hearty support without which it is impossible to do much with any paper. We cannot com plain of the merchants. They have been very liberal in giving us advertising and job printing. We have but little right to com plain of the farmers when we think of the large lists we haveof their names on our books. Hut there are many others who ought to read The Herald. We need them and they need us. We hope our friends will do all in their power to help us in extending our circulation. Did you ever try to get your neighbors to subscribe? You can very easily help us in this way. During the fall is the best time to get subscribers. Ite member, too, that a subscriber who does not pay and will not pay is worse than none. Try to get the money when you get the name. We have to-day a larger list of paid in advance subscrip tions than ever before and we are working and hoping for the time when all will pay in advance. Never until then can the paper do its best work. OUR COURSE IN LITERATURE. In our issue of October 11th, we began the publication of a series of artic es on "The National Period of American Literature," the first of the series being "The Political Writers of the Critical Period." The second article "Epics and Dramas" was pub lished October 18th, and the third entitled " Early Fiction," ap peared last week. These are able articles on the beginnings of our national literary life, written by Dr. Lorenzo Sears, Professor of English Literature in Drown Uni versity at Providence, Rhode Island. Dr. Sears is most emi nently fitted by education, study and research for this work, and writes with a knowledge of the subject in hand. .tiany men and women, boys and girls, will have an opportu nity to read these articles who have, perhaps, been denied the advantages of a high school edu cation. If they will read this series of articles carefully they will have a knowledge of the his tory of American literature equal to that of any person who has pursued a similarcourse of study in any high school in this section. Though we are young as a na tion we have made advancements in literature unparalleled by any nation of earth whose national life is less than 2(Hi years. Every person should acquaint himself ( with the history of our literature( if fie would be educated. A study of the history of nut ions reveals the fact th it no nation ever be eaine truly great that had no literary writers. We heartily commend these ar ticles to our readers and earnest ly urge them to read each one. The series will be continued through November and Hecemberand per haps through the first three months of 1 !)<>2. In this issue will be found "The beginning of the Nineteenth On-1 tury." Next week we will pub lish "Washington Irving, Hu morist and Historian." Wetrust that many of our readers will enjoy these articles. Head them. They will do you good and ac quaint you with our literary life and create within you a desire for the good and the true ami tin? beautiful, and thusmakeyou a better man or woman, a better boy or girl. IT IS JUDGE OSBOKNE. President Roosevelt on Wed nesday appointed Hon. Frank I. Osborne, of Charlotte, to succeed I the late Judge Fuller on the Court of Private Land Claims, j Senator Pritchard recommended ! ex-Judge Spencer R. Adams for the appointment but was told by i the President that only a Ueino j crat could be appointed. Sena tor Pritchard and Judge Boyd then recommended Mr. Osborne, whom the President appointed. Senator Simmons had called the North Carolina delegation to meet him in Washington, yester day to recommend a man for the appointment, but it seems that Senator Pritchard prevailed upon the President to make the ap pointment before Senator Sim mons' arrival. Judge Osborne is one of the ablest lawyers in the State and has always been a strong Demo crat. He is 48 years of age. He was educated at Davidson Col I lege. Judge Osborne lias been Mayor | of Charlotte, Solicitor of his dis trict, Attorney General of the ! State and State Senator. As an | orator he has few equals in the ! State and has done much service J in past campaigns. The Court of Private Land j Claims is composed of five mem ! bers not more than three of whom I shall be of the same party. The 1 bill establishing the court was introduced by Senator Ransom and passed during the adminis ! tration of President Harrison. | The salary is $">,000 per year. ===== The name of ex-Senator Gor i man, of Maryland, is being prom (inently mentioned in connection ' with the Democratic nomination for the Presidency in 1904. 1 Among prominent Southern I)em i ocrats who are in favor of Mr. | Gorman's nomination Senator j Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, and I Representative Livingston, ot 1 Georgia, are open advocates of j the plan. Mr. Gorman is a very able man, having risen from page j in the United States Senate to Senator from Maryland. It is too early yet to name the man to lead the Democratic forces to victory in 1904. There are many able men in the party, and some one who is now scarcely known, may yet rise to be the Moses of the party to lead us out of the Egypt of Republicanism, trusts and ship subsidies when the time comes. It is said that Henry Watter son, the brilliant editor of the ( Louisville Courier-Journal, wants ^the Democratic nomination for Governor of Kentucky next year. The Washington Post facetiously says it's for Henry for anything he wants from township Consta ble to President of the United States. Our esteemed contemporary, j the Charlotte News, pertinently remarks: "Admiral Schley didn't waste any ammunition on mules during the Spanish-American war, but he is delivering some hot shot to some of their near kin just now." It is rumored iu London that King Edward has cancer of the throat. The report says that three operations have been per formed since his accession to the British throne last winter but that the ravages of the terrible malady have not been checked. Arrangements are beingmadefor the King's coronation next June on a grand scale, but if the can cerous reports be true, there may be no coronation. In the event of the King's death, the Duke of Cornwall, who has been recently touring Canada, will ascend the throue. Ex-Senator Marion Butler, in an interview with the Washing ton correspondent of the Balti more Sun, expresses the opinion that Admiral Schley could secure more votes than any other man the Democrats could name for President in 1904. He says that Admiral Schley would bring to gether all elements of the Demo cratic party and receive a large votefrom others than Democrats. Fx-Judge Spencer Adams, the persistent and perennial office seeker failed to get that Judge ship plum. Hut Spencer should not despair but be consoled with the old adage that all things come to him who waits. lhe State Pair. I attended the Fair at Raleigh last week. It was great in at tendance and in some other im portant points. Rut never be fore have 1 seen or heard of such indecent and obscene shows as were there. Half-dressed, vile mouthed women, were the lead ing characters in most of the shows. 1 did not go into any of | these shows but talked with those who did and heard entirely too : much on the outside. No one could pass up the way leading by the grand stand without seeing and hearing these women as they stood on tne platforms in front of the tents trying to get people in to see their shows. At first 1 regretted that ray wife could not attend the fair, but I soon saw that it was not a suitable place j for men even, to say nothing of | women and children. I might j not have been surprised at such 1 among a barbarous people, but did not look for it in a Fair claim ing to represent the progress and j enlightenment of the great State of North Carolina. They say the management was I imposed on, but it seems to me I that a ten year old boy could look at the people running these shows and see that they were I thieves, pickpockets and desper | ate characters. There is no use to try to keep away from any place in the world if you attend | the Fair as it was run this year. 1 write this in the interest of people who care for the purity of thenome. J. M. Beaty. Rural Free Delivery in North Caro lina. In this State, the interest in rural free delivery of mails is daily growing stronger. Within the last three or four months, a re markably large number of appli cations for the establishment of routes have been forwarded to the Posrottice Department, and many other routes will doubtless j lie laid off this winter. The Kaleigli Post's Washington ! correspondent reports that ap plications from this State are now pending, as follows: From First District, none; Second, 1; Third, <>; Fourth. 21; Fifth, 13; Sixth, 88; Seventh, 22; Eighth, 33; Ninth, 37. Thirty-two routes are now in Operation in theState, with head quarters at the following offices: Greenville, 4 carriers; Grifton, 3; | Clinton, 1; Smithfield, 1; Raleigh, ! 3; Oxford, 2; Charlotte, 1; Wil mington, 1; Monroe, 1; Gibson, 1; Eumberton, 1; China Grove, 1; Asheville, 4: Mayville, 2: St. Thomas, 2; Waspton, 2; Bolti neau, 1; Kindred, 1.?Progres sive Farmer. Rilled in California. Mr. John Green, a native of Johnston county who went west nearly twenty years ago, was killed at Los Angeles, California, about the first of October, by being run over by a truck. He was a brother of Mr. J. G. Green, of Pine Level. W. G.

William Allen White's Analysis ct the President. When Roosevelt said that he would follow McKinley's policy, it is foolish to presume that Roosevelt meant to give a servile imitation of McKinley. The new President will accept the McKin ley legacy of unfinished work, but every unsolved problem will have to pass muster at the court of Roosevelt's personal conviction, and in forming this conviction1 the new President will show an THEODORE ROOSEVELT. From a photograph by "Miss Zaida Don Yusuf. almost unknown side of his char acter to the country. Some peo ple have expressed the fear that lioose' elt is dangerous in the Presidency because he will have to undertake tasks new to him, and for which he is not prepared. These, doubtless, miss one of the essential points of this unclassi fied man. He has always at tacked problems about which he knew nothing beforehand, and has solved them. It was so in I the Police Commission. It was | so in the Navy Department. It was eminently so in the (lovernor sliip of New York. Hut in every crisis he has asked for help, has sought from first-class intellects their best wisdom, from experts in each line of knowledge their soberest advice, from practical men their soundest judgment. It is only when his mind is made up after a painstaking, exhaustive study of the question that he has reached aconviction and followed with unswerving fidelity. This he is sure to do as President of the United States. Roosevelt brings to this high office an erudition ripened by a practical grapple with life; a political sa gacity which has been at daily gymnastic exercise for twenty years in every manner of public contest. He is tit.?William Allen White, in McClure's Magazine for November. Modern Surgery Surpassed. "While suffering from a bad case of piles I consulted a physi cian who advised me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve," says G. F. Carter, Atlanta, (ia. "1 procured a box and was en tirely cured. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is a splendid cure for piles, giving relief instantly, and I heartily recommend it to all sufferers."
