( t story, our Republican friends are i'Q'Q pointing with much joy to the re fe'ilfsult of the election in Massachu setts Tuesday. In this connection - jit mi2;ut,be well for them to re f. inember one thing which stands ;;t 'out above all other things as a : ' poster showing which way the wind is blowing, and that is this: . While a Republican was elec'ed governor of Massachusetts by ' the skin of his teeth, although '.thatStaeis normally overwhel- mingly Republican, a pet Repub , lican measure,' fathered by 'Boss' Barnes and championed most earnestly by, ex-Senator Root, the next republican candidate for . the Presidency, was overwhelm .ingly defeated in the State of ' - New York. We refer to the new . constitution proposed by for the ; 'Empire State the constitution , j which was framed by the conven tion over which ex-Senator Root presided. The proposition was literally I buried, under a landslide of votes and that, too, after Republican campaigners had coupled the constitution with Mr. Root's ten : tative candidacy for the Pres- dency and with tears in their ; voices had pleaded with the peo pie from one end of the State to the other to support the consti - tution because it was the meas ure so earnestly desired by the modern Moses who all good Re ' publicans believe is destined to : iead the children of the G. 0. P. . back into the land of promised pie. The result in New York should . furnish food for thought for our f Republican friends after they "have finished celebrating the "'g'reat victory' in Massachusetts. jLlsothey might turn their at tention to Maryland, and find additional room for reflection in j the fact that the Democrats held that State witnout any trouble, v. even as they held Kentucky and likewise rolled up the usual ma - jorities in the other normally Jjemocratic States which held elections Tuesday. When it might not be amiss for them to consid : er their 'great victory' in Massa chusetts some more, and espec ially long enough to learn for in stance, that both Senators and a majority ot tneivepresentauves ' from Massachusetts in the last Congress were Republicans. So that it is nothing new or strange, and has not bee for the past flf x ty years, to see Massachusetts Select a Republican Governor, just " as it is not at all out of the ordi- narv to see the staid old hide bound Republican eitVj of Thila delphia electaRepsblican Mayor : k Really, summing dp everything " ! ire are at a loss to know where ,:bur Republican friend got their - boasted comfort out oflthe elec tions held on Tuesday. They . bave about as much to tejoice ' ovfei as our suffragette friends do. Indeed, if any difference, they are worse off than the women Tor the Republicans did expect to sweep Massachusetts like an i r avalanche and did expett to ram their pet measure down th ' throats of the New York voters without any trouble, while the women expect to lose. The wo njien were making their opening v fight and all they hoped to do : was to make a decent showing, iwbich they did most assuredly ' make; but the Republicans were - in a desperate fight, one of the 1 last battles of a career which is - beginning to draw to acloso.ant ." ; much depended upon the out r come.

On account of the close proximity of the Grandfather Mountain, whose rugged face is a noted landmark for many miles in every direction, this Home was called the Grand- father Orphan Home. The name is also suggestive of the; tender feelings that old people have for little ones who have been left in this world without a home. In the spring of 1914 this nome was opened, witn Mr. J. m anotner item your corres W. Holcomb as superintendent pondent referrs to the "horror of and Mrs. Holcomb aa matron, two splendid christian people who were themselves born and raised id tne mountains, it then 1 . J . t . consisted of ah eight-room farm house near the center of one of the prettiest farms in the Elk val- ley. Since then an annex larger than the original building has been added and the whole is now equipped with "water works and electric lights. Sixteen orphans and a teacher, besides Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb, are - occupying this building, while more than this number have applied for pla- ces. To feed cloth and educate these children, while at the same time, to be trying to provide a place for as many more, is no small responsibility. But we had faith in the mountain people. We believed that they would furnish the children and that they would neip to support, tnem. iney nave done both, especially the first. The cost of supporting a child, including board, clothes and tui tion is seven dollars per month. Ui the sixteen wno are in tne Home, seven are definitely and specially provided for by individ- uals and sections.

N er did not know it was necessary to dance on sat- urday nights in order to be up to date. We had a sort of an idea that dancing was a very old form of amusement. There is a good old Book lying on the ta ble of some of these "old timy" people that tells us of a dance that took place nearly n 'met en hundred j'ears ago. It may, or may not have been worse than some of the modem dances, but it ended disastrously. In that same matchless Volume may be found a fine passage beginning, 'How baa'itiful upi-i tin mm tains." Any one taking the trou ble to look it up will finnd there lis a nobler use for feet than to patter over tne iioor ot a dance hall on the eve of God's Holy Day. (See Isaiah 27-7.) This article is not written to indulge in a tirade against danc ing, li so it miglit prove a waste of good ink.

' The Observer prints this mor ning a little paragraph from the North Wilkesboro Hustler that canies a deep significance. It tells the simple story of a farmer haul ing a load of cabbage from Ash county to the North Wilkesboro market, arriving there with his produce in good shape, barring the damage done by jolting 20 miles over mountain roads. Cab bage is but one of the products of that rich mountain country and the wagon road is the only avenue open to the market for this and other wealth of orchard and field. Furthermore, Ashe isJ not the only county cut off from the markets of the State by the Blue Ridge. The mountain peo pie are forced to pursue the plod ding methods of transportation begun when the Indian trails were converted into wagon roads. rhat they have been so long de led the developing blessings of he railroad has been largely due to the playing of politics in the "gislature. This had genesis in the theory that the mountain counties wre Jlepublicau and were not entitled to the generos- ty of the State. The sentiment was so deeply dyed that it was low to fade out, but at last times are changing. The moun tains are not only largely Demo- ratic, but are prohibition, long dreamed of railroad projects are getting a start and the welfare of hat great section of the State is now very much nearer the heart of the Legislatnre than it has seen in the history of North Car-' lina. There is ahead of t h e s e mountain farmers but a little more trudging along and crack ing of the wagon whip on the slow and wearysome way to mar icet. l lie Mate is irivinsr recoirni- ion to the justice of their claims i 1 on tins aiu; so long deterred, is ast on the way.
