There was no discord at the Bepublican meeting in Raleigh Wednesday because those who are not in sympathy with the Q. 0. P. machine and its methods did not attend. Even Solicitor Hayes of Wilkes, one of the tew Republican office holders in this state was conspicuous for his ab sence. Neither did Messrs. Cow les and Walser figure in the conference of the faithful. Then too, there is Ex-Senator Butler, who issued the first clarion call for a reorganization of the Re publican party in the State. He evidently didn't consider the Ra leigh council chamber a healthy place for rejuvenatore, and his seat was vacant. Ex-Congressman Cowles nob only failed to attend, but he was aggressively absent. For on the morning of the day set for whoop ing up the faithful he came out In an article in the daily organ this of the anti-Democrats of State, in which he went for Hon. Charles A. Reynolds with gloves off, among other things submit ting the following pointed re marks: V 1 i "Since when and by whom let me ass mv cnuc. was uie vnw 5 " A j5 5 nanM!.

When they find time hanging heavily on their hands the so called war experts resurrect the peace rumor, many times decent ly buried. The latest one, and probably the silliest ofall,isthat Qermany has appealed to the pope to use his best offices to bring about peace negotiations, while the king of Bulgaria, on similar mission bent, is reported to have assured the holy seer that his nation will .become Catholic, departing from the Greek ortho dox church, after the war. Both of these mark the wildest flights of imagination. Germany is not talking peace, has no thought of peace and is certainly making no overtures to the Vatican. Now can any one in his sane senses be lieve that Ferdinand, of Bulga ria, who has just launched him self into a fool's war, is already showing the white feather? He has hardly begun the fight, nouSn by this time he doubtless regrets mat ne auowea uerma ny and Austria to pull the wool over his eyes.

Washington, the no-1 ted negro educator and founder of Tuskegce Institute, died at his home here early today fourhours after his arrival from New York, Death was due to the hardening of the arteries following a nerv- ous breakdown. The negro leader had been in ailing health for several months bnt his condition became serious only last week while he was in the East. He realized the end was near, but determined to make the ong trip South to bear out his oppressed statement that he had;been "bora in the South, having lived all my life in t h e South and expect to die and be buried in the South." Washington is survived by his nrifa onH f.hraa ntiilJran anA fmtf. I " 77 grandchildren. His brother John H. Washington, is superintend- ent of industries at Tuskegee In- StltUte. 99 wasnington was Dora in Slav- erjrnear uaie's ford, Virginia, in 1857 or 1858. After the eman- cipation oi his race he moved with his family to West Virginia, He was an ambitious boy and saved his money for an education, When he was able to scrape to- gether sufficient funds to pay his stage coach fare tolHampton, Va., he entered General A r m- strong's School for Negroes there ana worKeu nis way wouga an academic course, graduating in 1875. Later he became a teacher in the Hampton Institute, where he remained until 1881, when he organized an industrial school tor negroes at Tuskegee. He re- mamed principal oi tnis school up to the time of his death. The institute started in a rented shan- ty church and today it owns a,- 500 acres of land in Alabama and has nearly 100 buildings val- ned at $500,000. Washington won the sympathy and support of leading South erners by a speech in behalf of his race at the Cotton State Ex- posiiion in Atlanta in 1895.

A short time ago the Observer quoted the estimate of a Swiss military statistician, Colonel Heusslerr to the effect that the total losses in killed in the Euro pean war was at the time of the report 5.000,000 men. It was manifestly an exaggeration of the facts. The Richmond News Leader brings forward the figures given by Premier Asquith in his speech in the Commons on July 31 as a more reasonable coropu tation. Up to that time Mr. As quith said, the number of killed has been as follows: Great Britain 116,000 France 400,000 'S'XK SSZZZZZ" G4,000 Japan ZZZZZZZZZZZ!. 300 Total Allies 1,360,300 I -m ' .

These losses have proba- bly raised the German monthly average of killed from 41,666 to 50,000 for the months of August to October inclusive. The Astri- ans have probably lost no more men than heretofore in the east, but have suffered heavily from the operation on . the Italian frontier. The bwest estimate of their losses on that front is 90, 000, with other estimates run nine as thigh as 120,000. The Turks, too, have certainly lost more each month since August than during the ten months pre- ceding, since the offensive at the head of the Persian Gulf and the Russian attacks from Transcau sia have taken a disastrous toil On the side of the Allies, the 2elgians have lost less men since August than theretofore the I tallians admit a loss of 30,000 and the French and Russians have probably had killed abou a8 manv a month as during the have nertoinlv increased, owini?

The Salisbury Post turns to good account two items stories in the parlance of the newspa pers which is found in the col umns of the daily papers. And wfth these it drives home a les son which should be learned in North Carolina in in time for Thanksgiving day. The first is from an item sent the News and Observer by , its Washington correspondent, Mr. H. E, C. Bryant, in which he told of the prosperity wave which is sweeping over the country. The second is the appeal sent out' by a number of men who are asking that the people of North Caroli- na go down in their pockets and contribute the money for one day's work to the cause of t h e orphans, money to be used in the helping of the thousands of home- ess boys land fatherless, some times motherless, boys and girls of the State. Prosperity is here. Shall we share it with the orphans? The Salisbury Post does well to join these two things in the '.thoughts of the people. It preaches a ser mon when it makes its appeal for help for those who cannot help themselves. "Read iu one of these new stories," it says, "what ought to bejdone with regard to the other." We pass along this thought. And we pass along also this from the Salisbury Post: "'If you are a Presbyterian, remember Barium Springs. If a Baptist, send a do nation to Thomasville. If you are a Methodist, let your orphan age at Winston be the better off for one day's work from you. If an Episcopalian, vou have an orphanage dependant upon your gifts so have you Lutherans and your reforms and you who have no church obligation or think you have none let your day's work go to some orphan age. To this we add that there should be also practical and whole-hearted remembrances for the little ones at the Oxford Or phanage, at the Methodist Or phanage in Raleigh, at the Odd Fellows Orphanage at Golds boro, 3t the Catholic Orphanage at Nazereth. Wherever they be, remember the orphans on Thanks giving Day. News and Observer, The Colds of Mankind Cured by Pines 1 Have you ever gone through a typical pine forest when you had a cold ?
