Afflicted with some kind of halluci nation -and' antipodal, vision ;that sure ly never had their7 origin in North Car olina, the Greensboro Record (Ind.) jumped Its trolley and went up in the air to try to atch lip with The -Star, which luminous sphere paused in its regular orbit long - enough to shed a modicum of refulgence upon' the spa cious difference between equal suffrage by national enforcement upon the states and the same kind of suffrage regulated sovereignly., inherently, Op tionally and wisely within the province of the states to be settled by each In accordance with its own social and civic standards and the existing circumstan ces of its own peculiar and traditional and actual state of society! Of course, Thev Star m "few 'days ago vented some wisdom along that line in accordance with a safe and sane North Carolina point pf , view and , in keeping with sound, Jeffersonistic Democracy. It was all wasted on the independent and saucy and misguided Record, which has a point of view that gets its load of energy far away .from the magnetic area encompassed within the good old North State. Our point of -view, as a matter of course, and. by means of Tar Heel predilection, got its magnetic sup ply ffrom the North Carolina source of supply. . Mixed in with the real gospel and; doctrine, we. -intersperse in a cer tain editorialette some Star-esque flip pancy so the whole - thing could be swallowed in a pleasant manner. Of course, the merriness and starlight por tion of it was thrown upon the screen as a mere sidelight, but we grieve that we grieved The Record, which has a record that is right up to the notch of our Uncle Al Fairbrother. He rapped us over the knuckles and we. presume it was all about the real thing that we said. Leaving out the side-light, we are forced to indulge sufficient im modesty to repeat this as the meaty constituent in The Star's offending en lightenment: "Wilson is committed to the princi ple that woman suffrage is a matter, for the individual' states to. decide without any national. Interference in a state's own business as to whether it or its women want woman suffrage. Hughes advocates national assumption of the right to force woman suffrage on every state in the Union. That is one reason why Hughes does not stand knee high to a duck in the sovereign and person ally conducted State of North Carolina. The safe and sane Tar Heel State wants to attend to her own purely domestic affairs without national interference in the serene and domestic tranquility of domestic affairs. Even Republicans don't care to have the Federal govern ment poking its nose into a matter that concerns North Carolina women more than it concerns nationalist interlopers and misguided molestationists. "Democrats do not want any nation alized suffrage In this State, and the probability is that thousands of Repub licans will vote against Judge Hughes for favoring such an idea as national imposition of woman suffrage on a free and independent, and resentful North Carolina "public? On that one question he has taken a position which ought to beat him for president. "The question is both social and civic, depending upon the state of society in the various states, and North Carolina knows so . much better than anybody else how to regulate her own society that she objects to all foreign interfer ence in the domestic and state matters which North Carolinians are looking after themselves." People with real tar on their heels will recognize the foregoing Star dicta as fundamentalists and profound. Therefore, we deny that .the main thing VI.

We infer that rative circumstafites-f enderTng even a The failure" to catch Villa, shows how . :.. . expensive a common villain can make 'himself when he tries.. Oh, yes, Sister Sue, some great men "do things," but in doing them they do about as many people as they do things. It is to be hoped that very few North Carolinians will vote to put the South out of the saddle at Washington. A fool does not believe everything that is told him, because he is sharp enough to know that the one who tells him is apt- to be" ;another fool. - The run-over and run-off primary Tn South Carolina takes place today. .

The . Star's position is buttressed immovably lipon the suffrage declarations of the great Republican party and the greater DemocraticKpar ty; Where has The Record's "bun combe" gone to? , Yea, the really esteemed Record reck ons without its host and skates onithin ice when it attempts to draw a parallel between the child 'labor and suffrage questions as elements of states' rights. The child labor law, which we really preferred for North Carolina to ad&pt, is a sociological question and involves the cause of humanity and posterity regardless of politics or the technicali ties of mere political parties whosei.po sitlons are declared in platforms adopt ed by a mere handful of their adher ents. The child labor law is based upon the constitutional right of Congress to regulate interstate commerce, ;';and, while, that prerogative may be(yfar fetched as being applied "to child libor in the various states, the Supreme Court is yet to say that Congress, in its purpose to serve the ends of God and humanity, possibly may have gone be yond strict constitutional warrant. ."On theVf contrary? the suffrage ques tion is one of those great" civic ques tions which belongs to the people and their states. There is about as much similarity between suffrage and child labor as states rights questions as there Is between a golf ball and a Bun combe county apple. The only similar ity is that a golf ball and an apple are both round, but they are only alike in their spheroid shape. . That's all. The Record had better get a better cleav age idea and get the visuality that will enable it to distinguish between socio logical and political questions. We fear to send The Record for an apple lest It bring us a golf ball, on account of; the disingenuous presumption that they are the same because they are round. In all seriousness, that question of suffrage is a profoundly important one for the people of North Carolina to de cide right justly for those women who insist upon the ballot but justly for the civilization of North Carolina. We are glad to get this opportunity to re fer to it and to reaffirm the incontro vertible position of The Star, and, as we believe, the position of the great majority of North Carolinians. It .is a question of whether; we want. to reserve and retain a sovereign right of North' Carolina or whether we are ready to surrender another bit of North Carolina sovereignty to the Federal power, such as we would do by supinely letting the Federal government take over the regulation of suffrage and not only say what women but what men can vote at a North Carolina or a Fed eral election." We stand for the sov ereign right of North Carolina to regu late her-i)urely domestic affairs in ac cordance with her "own serious prob lems and ;in-;k'eeping-'with the intelli gence, the enlightenment, the morality and the social and civic interests f which we must take account for the best Interest of North Carolina's own people. .'V; North Carolinians can judge whether, or not ' this is buncombe or car dinar ciaft- who yised him as the . veriest tool. Anim&sity - was' not aroused against the negro because he happened to be one, but because he helped to.do Injury to the best Interests of the State by aiding and abetting the Republicans, who con ceived all the iniquity and did all the damage. The poor dupes kept In pow er a party which disgraced itself when it got into office in Korth Carolina! The poor, darkeys simply helped to ; hoist the Republicans into office. The Re publicans did the rest and the negroes had to suffer for it. Surely, they con stitute the black sacrifice that was ne cessary to redeem the' Republican par ty. 4f both . have been regenerated by a. Democratic sterilizing process, the white supremacy party surely, deserves the credit. On' that account a grate ful. Republican party ought to vote the solid Democratic ticket. Tov. us this, is always a melancholy recollection. .We do not make politics of it, but we only refer- to it in order to keep history straight. History is one of those' things which ought to be kept straight so it -won't wobble around and get crooked, too. A: historic fea ture of this pathetic reminiscence is that the same bid . Republicans , who used to operate cheek-by-Jowl with the colored brother in the period of fusion and amalgamatized politics during the receding years of sadness, are the same ones who -.now spurn the negro and invite white men to take the ne gro's rllace alongside his. old white al lies back yonder when negro votes counted in a. political game in; which North Carolina was debauched as the stake. History ought to be kept straight in the particular that the poor negro' did spectable, but that the Republican par ty made itself disreputable by using the ignorant negro as a step-ladder for his white brothers to get into power and get the pelf. History written right is that the negro never debauch ed North Carolina. He helped to put into office the white men who did. The white allies got into the feed trough and" the negro got It in the neck. It is a sad tale, mates, but it is the true vold story which makes a true blue North Carolinian hate the party which negroized and debauched the good old North State. That's all. We recall it as history, the infamy of which hangs like an inky pall over the-heads of Re publicans who dread It as the ever ap pearing Banquo's ghost; The Armour Oval Label . wnicn identities over 3U0 other Armour top grade products, also brand the best butter made Armour' Cloverblocm!

The writer stated that at that time "the only sources of supply for such coal a gives satisfaction are Pittsburg in our state and Newcastle, England." Prophetically, Mr. Dungan then stated that "the export of coal alone from your state must far exceed in value all the gold produced from your mines, while the cil and the Iron it is alleged will cast in the shade I even this large product. I know lit tle of iron or oil, but of the coal I can speak confidently, both of quantity and quality. With favorably means of con veyance to the sea, no sources of sup ply can compete with you, and the timeJ. is close at hand when all doubts will disapear apd North Carolina will lead in wealth every other Southern state." This voice frpm the past must have an encouraging sound to the capitalists who have just organized for the devel opment of the iron and steel possibili ties of the Chatham county coal mines. At one time the mines had reached an extensive stage of development and the locomotives of the Seaboard Air Line Company drew their supplies from the Egypt mines. Possibly, after all these years, the judgment of this pioneer mineral explorer is going to be vindi cated. The coal and the iron are there. Perhaps it might1 profit the.' new com pany to bore-for oil. Charlotte Observer.

Durham, N.'C, Sept. 11 With prac tically every incoming train filled with both new and old students, Trinity College is preparing for the com mencement on Wednesday morning, September 13, of its sixty-fourth year of existence and the twenty-fifth an nual session in Durham. The whole campus appears to be in heretofore unequalled readiness for the opening. The park never before has presented as attractive appearance as it does at the present time. Months of hard labor which made for the beaii tiflcation of every part of the campus has shown telling effect. Driveways throughout the park are being maca damized, those which have not already been so; and walks are being laid with cement. The western portion of the park has recently undergone . a rigid grading, and it is now overgrown with pear vines as the initial -step toward putting it in shape -for the planting of trees and shrubbery which is to come this fall. The eastern side of the cam pus is being- relieved of several old de lapidated buildings which used to de tract from the imposing view of the whole campus presented. When the removal of these old landmarks has been completed, It will be graded and planted in trees and shrubbery like the western portion. By far the most imposing arid artistic beauty which the campus has is the . new stone wall which Winds itself around the entire park. - . " H. J. EIiAltt "QUITS THE RECORD.

T HE things tre mentioned yesterday and much more to the s.m effect do earnest and anxious pediatrists tell us. Which may prepare us to be informed by Dr. Julius Levy, that twenty times as many bottle-fed babies than breast-fed are prone to the dysenteries, that among the former, ten times as many such pitiful little sufferers die, that during the first year of their helpless lives three "times as many die of the various "diseases to which infancy is subject; that in a thorough comparative study in a small German city, a very small percentage of those who had in infancy been artificially fed were found alive after their twenty-first year. And as to the relation in which maternal nursing stands to the welfare and the future of our race! The" mother's . organism is in the most intimate union with that of her infant. The normal exercise of the nursing function does indeed develop not only the infant normally; but as well the fortunate mother, and as beneficently, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually in every possible way that is natural and rational. And all this through the warmth and the close bodily con tact, the caresses and the constant play of mother and child, the tins hand creeping confidently about the mother's neck. Who can estimati the part played in the molding of . the child's character, to the inflniU benefit of the individual and of the race, by the sweetness of th( mother's smile, which "her infant's first visual impressions receive, b) the comfortableness, the endearingness, the cherishing expressed in tin maternal countenance. And yet, five years ago, a physician stated before a medical society that nowadays sixty per cent, of mothers cannot, or think they cannot, or are led to imagine, by what they read., or are told, that they cannot, or just crassly will not, yield to the yearning of the infant, with no language but a cry, for the breast of the mother who bore it. Such a mother bewailed to a great physician whose temperament waa & bit lacking as to diplomacy that it' had pleased Providence to take her babe from her. He told her she had no right nor reason to lay the fault on Providence. Providence had had nothing at all to do with the wretched business. It was not the Diety, but her own abominable perversity, abetted by bad milk, .that had killed her baby. - BONE MARROW. Answer to I. T. B.: Inflammation of bone and marrow is a serious dis ease; doctors term it osteomyelitis. The treatment consists in constitu tional measures and in prevent ing the bone from necrosing (ulcer ating). The surgeon cuts down on the affected bone, removes the dis eased portion by chisel or trephine, drains out the pus, irrigates the wound with hot bichloride solution and packs with gauze. In some cases there has to be amputation MANURE. Answer to T. A.: In the rural dis tricts manure is very often handled in such a way that there is an un necessary loss of fertilizer. The sooner, the manure is got on the land the better; and there will then be less loss. . The farmer's best in terests are served by the scientific management of manure. And some method of storage must be provided for that portion of the year when it cannot be spread on the land. Manure in storage loses its value through: (1)- Fermentation, whereby a certain amount of the nitrogen ii lost. (2) Weathering and bleach ing, which cause a loss of soluble constituents, as . phosphates and potash. To prevent-such losses the manure should be stored in shedi with cement floors; or better, in cement-lined pits both pits and shedi to be fly-proof. ' DROPSY. ; Anstrer. to A.
