What is a Democrat?'

The new woman is the same old
woman with different ideas.
Next to the square meal, everybody
wants a square deal that will go
around. .
President Wilson's open door is all
right Everybody who gets in can get
out without the least trouble.
Our idea of a pleasing announce
ment is the one in which Col. Roose
velt says he. is "glad he was defeat
ed." That seems to make it unani
mous. Sudden rise of rivers and loss of
many lives and millions of dollars
.worth of property in the South is a
sad illustration of the fallacy of cut
ting, away the forests.
' Says the Wellington Star: "Un
doubtedly Mr. Wilson and his party
have a great opportunity." Watch
'them show signs of knowing how to
make the most of it.
What's the matter with made-in-America
hats? They're such close
imitations of Parisian creations that
they are just as chick and a long ways
from being cheap affairs.
Telephones, rural mail delivery, the
parcel post, good schools, and good
roads in a good country will complete
the happy situation which the good
people of North Carolina can bring
about for themselves.
Says the Washington Post: "Some
enthusiastic Bull Moose ecstatically
exclaims that T. R.'s autobiography
will read like a novel." Up to when?
Possibly it will be followed by a se
quel after 1916 if the climax is not
the same as it was in 1912.
Charleston has at last banished the
cow from the city limits.' While the
possibilities increasing on account
of the Panama Canal, one of the first
steps towards metropolitanism is ,the
demolition of the one and two 4ow
dairies whose products are mostly
flies. -:
Ella Wheeler Wilcox remarks that
"meat eating will be a thing of the
past with us a hundred years from
now." That mostly concerns posterity
in all those portions of the United
States that do not raise any more
meat than is produced in the South.
The lady writer is about right.
The South grows all the cotton pro
duced in the United States, all the
peanuts, most all the tobacco, and all
the earliest fruits and vegetables.
They all bring the ready cash and it
comes in nearly every month in the
year. We barely have two months to
rest before a money crop is ready- to
harvest. Wonderful country!
"Soil and climate are the two beat
assets that the human race will ever
find." That was said a few days ago
by Mr. J. JHill, the great American
railroad man, who was referring to the
South's advantages. Mr. Hill found
those assets in the South, so all who
are looking for the two best assets for
mankind should come South where
Mr. Hill has fomd them.
Col. Bryan is a great peace advocate
-but it is singular that he can say things
that disturb the peace of many per
sons on two continents. Owing to
the great furore in England and cer
tain American circles because of -the
Colonel's St. Patrick Day speech, it
makes all the difference in the eyes
of the world wlhether it were a speech
by Col. Bryan or by the Secretary of
State of the United States.
There isn't any use for any Southern-port
to be jealous of the other.
None of them are doing what they
ught to do to increase the South's
cfommerce, and if all were to double
tntsir facilities it would require every
one f them to handle the ocean traf
fic that the South is capable of hand
ling if the business men of the ports
have the capital, intelligence and en
terprise to create and handle the com
merce that their respective ports can
develop.

THE WHOLESALE GROCERS
The annual convention of the South
ern Wholesale Grocers' Association is
to be held in Charlotte in May, and it
is an event that will be keenly antici
pated" by the jobbers of the various
wholesale centers in North Carolina.
Jobbers will be there from the prin
cipal wholesale centers ' of all the
Southern fitates and the proceedings
will show marked progress in the
South's jobbing business. The Char
lotte News says the coming of the
wholesalers "is going to mean much"
for. the business life of that city, and
that esteemed contemporary goes on
to say this concerning local jobbing
interests:
"It is going to all attention to the
jobbing facilities of Charlotte as
nothing else could and tne activity
of the business people of this city to
make the stay of the wholesalers of
the South pleasant and profitable is to
be commended. The time was -when
the merchant in this section of the
two Carolinas thought he was com
pelled to go to Richmond or elsewhere
to secure his stock of merchandise.
And to be perfectly fair about the mat
ter there was a grain of truth in this.
But that time is past and gone.
"In Charlotte the merchant of this
section can secure what he needs and
desires as well as he can in markets
further away and at lees expense in
seeing them. 'For instance, the man
at Wadesboro who formerly consum
ed the better part of a week going to
Baltimore to buy dry goods and no
tions and there tied up large sums of
money in big bills, comes to Char
lotte and returns within a day, buys
jusf what he wants and continues to
turn his money over at short intervals.
making a reasonable profit on each
transaction.
"There are many merchants in
Charlotte territory, however, who con
tinue to purchase at other markets
because, they have not learned that
they can purchase in this city as
cheaply as elsewhere and thereby save
the difference in freight from the
Northern market to Charlotte and save
the difference in the time consumed
in visiting " the two markets, to say
nothing of the far greater expense
when the longer trip is taken.
"The Wholesale Grocers' convention
will serve to call most favorable at
tention to the jobbing facilities of the
city and the publicity the city will
receive throughout the entire country
will 'be well worth the expense of en
tertainment." ,
There has been a marvelous growth
in jobbing in the South. Even many
of the smaller cities have their jobbers
and they are rapidly breaking down
the prejudice against patronizing local
jobbers and disabusing the idea of the
retail dealers that it pays them to
make expensive trips to great whole
sale centers in the North- It is a good
sign that many of our jobbers are
taking theentire product of a num
ber of manufacturers..
Wilmington's fine distributing facil
ities by water and rail, have made this
one of the largest jobbing centers in
the South. Water and rail terminals
linked together at the harbor's edge,
constitute ideal facilities so far as
transportation is concerned, and when
freight rates are satisfactory it gives
the wholesalers of this city a far
reach into the most prosperous sec
tion of the South. It makes business
for the railroads, and rigt in Wilming
ton is illustrated the fact that water
anfi rail transportation are equally
benefitted by interchange of traffic.
The largest portion of the railroad
traffic going out of Wilmington is be
cause of the. traffic of which ocean
navigation is the basis. Hence, the
railroads are vitally interested in
building up this port, for the greater
is the increase of its exports and im
ports the greater will grow rail traf
fic in and out of Wilmington.
The whole of the water front of Wil
mington is lined by railroad tracks,
and the facilities here for jobbing are
strongly emphasized by the fact that
some of our jobbers can receive ship
ments by water on one side of their
warehouse, while freight cars are load
ing and unloading alongside. Those
interested in the close alliance be
tween water and rail traffic can see it
at the Clyde Line wharf where cars
stand within fifteen feet of the steam
ers and exchange"traffic.
A few days ago we stood and watch
ed several carloads of manufactured
products, produced in this city, being
transferred to the commodious steam
ship Cherokee. Sights Tike that are
mpressive but they can be seen along
Wilmington's entire water front and
especially at the railroad terminals. It
is these facilities that enable Wil
mington jobbers to reach territory as
far as Alabama.
THE SOLUTION OF THE MEAT
PROBLEM
The Norfolk Vlrlnian Pilot fur
nishes us the mmt logical solution of
the American meat problem, a real and
serious on that i now prevailing in
this country and will continue to pre
vail. That solution Is that we should
produce our own meat supply rathy
l nan depend .upon any oiner country.
Let us quote here the plain truth as
it is out by our able Norfolk contem
porary :
Vlt is hardly necessary for President
Leonard, of the Union Stock Yards, at
Chicago, to insist that the shortage of
meat in the United states is real ano
Erowine. Millions of domestic con
sumers are having the fact brought
home to them in a way which is at
nn nnvlTiftine and conclusive. But
In mnnhasizin this shortage, Mr
Leonard 4s also and thereby stressing
the importance of opening the road to
an increased supply Dy letting aown
the tariff barriers against tne livestock
and dressed meats of Argentina, Aus-j
tralia, Mexico and Canada. In that di-
rection aes w least u.uu - Icept grounds worthy of consider-
situation which urgently demands the; . m ..
application of an effective remedy. . a1- To nag at a Democratic or a
Supplementary to this Is the necessity Republican Governor without serious
that the farmers of the country should j cause is unworthy of the metropolitan
more generally take up stock raising. ; preg8 ft sm kg of ,proVincialism, con-
in tne ire-nstiug ui nvwiwn u
dressed meats and in a return to con
ditions under which the farmers
throughout the country raised cattle,
sheep and hogs sufficient to meet, in
i mnro,im Vif HomnnHc frT lnral
consumptLn is to bTtoSK&SS
and permanent solution of the meat
problem. Nothing more is required;
nothing less will suffice."
The Star yesterday quoted from the
New York Journal of Commerce the
statement that the 5,000,000 consumers
of that great city are so concerned
over the meat problem that they are
hoping for relief by the importation of
meat carcasses in refrigerator ships
from, Argentina and Patagonia. We
ought, "however, lock closer home
ahd slve the problem right here in
the South by including the stock-raising
industry in the great agricultural
progress that the wonderfully adapta
ble South is making. What a great
market we have among those 5,000,000
consumers so close at our doors, but
they constitute only one-sixth of the
immense populations of the States to
the North of us, literally cash-paying
millions with a never-ceasing demand.
The South now has its opportunity.
Lowering the tariff on meats and the
beginning of importation, will mean
greater development of stock raising
in South America, and possibly a les
sening of the opportunity for stock
raising in the South. Under present
conditions the opportunity . has no
drawback to it,, but if the South waits,
the South is liable to get left.
WILMINGTON'S BASEBALL VISIT
ORS. Wilmington had a warm welcome
yesterday for the professional baseball
celebrities, and the newspaper men
and. other devotes of the great Ameri
can game who are accompanying the
teams on their practice tour in the
South. Front street ' was thronged
with people when the famous ball
players came from the railroad station
in automobiles. Moving picture men
who are in the city taking Wilming
ton for the "movies" had their ma
chines mounted and got a lasting im
pression of Wilmington. In the party
are some of the most brilliant sporting
writers in the country, and all ,will
agree that it is a happy idea that Wil
mington should have been included in
the itinerary of so distinguished a
party. ,
Wilmington fans consider it a big
day that brought the great ball play
ers here. They had a royal welcome
by a loyal set of ball lovers, aridf not
the least advantage of this trip of the
professional exponents of the game
wiR be the creation of even greater
interest in the most manly, the most
healthful, and the most man-makihg
sport in America. All fresh air games
are good for people,, for the onlook
ers get red blood as well as the play
ers. All red blood spprt is good for
humanity, but baseball is the premier
because it -gets out the most people
and causes the boys to get the base
ball habit. All boys ought to play
ball, get muscles, and get the ginger
that ought to tingle in the veins of a
boy while he is laying the foundation
of a man.
THE PUBLIC SPIRITED MAN.
Don't take a merely selfish inter
est in your town. Don't let your indi-
vidual interests block a single move?
ment for its development and progress.
Remember that your own opportuni
ties are limited in a finished 'town and
rest assured that if you hamper its
growth in any particular you handicap
your individual chances in your town.
The progress of a town means a
proportionate 1 increase of your own
prosperity, hence every man should
leok at his opportunities from the
standpoint that he is growing up with
his town. Your town is not Krowinc
up with you, but where any great
amount of selfishness exists it can
easily be hampered in its growth and
development and that retjards the
growth and development of all its bus
iness and manufacturing establish
ments as a whole.
All grow together, hence those who
are helping to make their town great
er are helping to make their chances
greater and contributing to the growth
of all the elements that contribute to
wards converting a town into a city
The man who takes a keen and urisel-
flsn interest in everything calculated 3
to promote the interest and welfare of
his town is a public spirited man. It
is public spirit-that makes a live,
progressive city. '
JOURNALISTIC SCOLDS
-
New York city seems to be the
headquarters of small politics. Repub
lican papers which ought to have Na
tional broadness to them keep up a
steady fire on Governor Sulzer just to
make it uncomfortable for him be
cause he is a Democrat instead of a
rtepUDHCan. femall incidents are mae-
nmea ana tne malice is not only im-
plied but nlnlnlw oviHt
yiieu uui plainly evident. It matters
not. that Sitlrja. ic i . .
. ia vruvernor, ne is a
Democrat and as a matter of course
must be made the butt of all sorts of
small jibes.
We would regret to !know that rvAmn.
cratic papers of National reputation
would be so-little as to criticise and
condemn a Republican Governor ex -
sidering that such a great city as New
York ought to have the broadest press
in America. It seems to have a bunch
of journalistic scolds, with very little
srotesqueness o their daily cant
ing and harping than is observed in
the jealousy of rival grocers in a ru
ral village il - .
Speaking about congratulations,
Senator . Simmons has repeived . enough
to make a book. The Senator's chair
manship; of the powerful Finance Com
mittee pf the Senate came to him una
nimously,, worthy recognition of his
record and a tribute to his Democracy.

more useful to Wilson's administration
than he."

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled-Up Sufferers Find
Relief After Few Doses of New
i Remedy Are Taken.'
It is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from-'
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. , This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because it
neutralizes and dissolves all the pois
onous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles,, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu
matism, and cleans out and strength
ens the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
sp they can filter all the poison from
the blood and drive it on and out of
the system. -
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will find it
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing- else on earth like it.
It matters not how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, it is
practically impossible to ; take it into
the human system -without results.
You will find relief from the first few
doses, and you .will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end..
An original package of Croxone
costs but a trifle at any first-class
drug store. All druggists are au
thorized to sell it on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a ay
for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders.
