LICENSE FOR ACTOMOBILISTS. The automobile is a potential engine of destruction. The public should not allow Its use upon the public highways except under such restrictions as will reasonably insure the safety of the public. The driver of the automobile should possess certain qualifications and his . license should be in the nature of re vocable privilege. He should have the i necessary knowledge of the machinery of his vehicle, considerable experience in Its actual use, good eyesight and hearing, etc., in short, he should be physically qualified to run the ma chine. These things should be deter mined by such examination as is nec essary, and the examiner's salary should be paid out of the fees for ex amination and license. There are other qualifications which cannot be determined by examination. A man may be reckless, or lack Judgment; he may drink, and if he does he Is sure to feel an Increase of confidence In his own ability ot drive a car. - These things should be penalized, after an Investigation by experts, with the view of ultimately revoking the license; sny after th third exhibition of recklessness, or lack of judgment, violation of the speed laws, or the like. And, sooner or later, the police de partment will have to organize some efficient machinery to put a stop to speeding. No matter how skillful and dependable the driver, he should not be allowed to run his machine at an unreasonable speed on the city streets. He has obsolutely no right to do It. The streets are for business, primarily. and not for dangerous pleasures. If the automobllist must go at breakneck speed let him build a speedway on private property. The streets are pub lic' property, for the use of all sorts and conditions of people, and it is the business of the authorities to see to it that they are kept as safe as possible. However, since the advent of the au tomobile, they cannot be kept safe enough to be playgrounds for chil dren; that is Impossible and it Is futile to attempt it rhlldren must piay. nd playgrounds should be provided for them. The licensing system, as The Ga-sette-Kews has long insisted, is the best apparent means of preventing automobile accidents. It will not put a stop to them the only way to do that would be to prohibit automobiles on the streets but w believe It will reduce their number to a minimum If stricfty and Intelligently applied. And when a drivers ncense is once revoked It should mean that only with , great difficulty can a renewal of it be secured. The renewal license fee '. might be made practically prohibitive; a long period might be fixed before the application would be received, and thv examination might be made much tnorof difficult. t t 1 THKV WILL GET TAMA Jill.

Never theless, this oldest member - pt the cabinet in point of service, will proba bly have to go. . A presidential elec tion is fast approaching, but even the President himself Is not strong enough to hold a man, once the public has marked a man for decapitation. Pres ident Taft stood by Balllnger,. and Is standing by him yet for the matter. having visited him recently in Seattle, but Balllnger found Ms position no longer tenable. He retired under fire. just the thing he said he would do, and the very thing the President said he ought not to have to do. There are very few points of similarity between the Ballinger and Wilson eases, except that Secretary Wilson sided against Dr. Wiley, and therefore got himself classified as a reactionary, or friend of Privilege, but after awhile Mr. Wilson will get the point of feeling that Presi dent Taft should not have to stand for his unpopularity, and largely for party reasons will feel impelled to efface himself. Mr. Balllnger himself did not give out statements denying an Intention to resign with less frequency, nor did he employ less emphasis than hus Secretary Wilson, but the interior ilepartment knows him no more. No man of his age left an impress upon journalism comparable to that of Joseph Pulitzer. He was endowed with an enormous capacity for v't, and an ambition of accomplishment thHt was even far greater. He years ago wore out his nerves and his eyes, but his spirit was invincible, his great mind eager for exert cae until the very last; he died studying history. He possessed imagination, a wonderful knowledge, that might be called Intui tive, of the psychology of the mass; he was an originator, a venturer in new fields. The argument in favor of sowing small grain to take the place of cotton in next year's crop is strengthened by a peculiar season. F. R. Newell, col laborator of the United States depart ment of agriculture, says: "This Is the only year I have ever seen cotton to come off In time to sow wheat. think If th efarmers will sow wheat and oats and rye. and cut the acreage for cotton next year, that the acreage will be reported by the first day of March and all the farmers will get 15 cents for thieir cotton, after that time." The Canton Observer of Friday an nounces that, beginning with that m- si.e "this paper will be conducted un der partially different management, Mr. C. N. Justice having purchased the interests of Mr. J. B. Holcombe. But. while the management has un dergone a change, we desire to say that our policy will remain in the future as in the past, one of prog ress." President Taft, not having register ed properly, may not find it possible to vote in Cincinnati tomorrow, but it Is not likely this untoward circumstance will disturb the President over much; he knows Brother Carley will run that town without reference to the election result. The Avery Vim says the first mar riage license issued in the new county of Avery was to a man named Avery, and the first man sentenced in the first aourt held is an Avery. T y named that county right. What is so rare as a perfect Indian summer day? StttatatttatatltltltststStKatatStattl m press coiarcxT. - . k st r n k it st r r r it n n THE BANTER APPEARS.

Taylorsville Scout. TUB CORN BOT8 AND TOMATO GIRLS. One of the most noticeable thing's for men who were looking for some thing of real worth at the Mate fair at lUleigh hurt week was the exhibit of the Boys' Corn club and tomatoes and other canned goods exhibited by girls of the Tomato club. These clubs are of real worth lo boys and girls of the Sooth, because they instil into their young natures a liking fos the improved methods of agriculture, and at the same time stimulate Interest among older people.

Route 1. called at The Dispatch! office the other day, an(l In the course of con versation remarked that he had one acre, of cane this' year,' from which he made 114 gallons of molasses. He ha an offer of 50 cents a gallon for the molasses, and the seed will bring it lenst $5.00.; As for fodder, he turned that under, thinking that it would do more good on the land than anywhere else. He does not know what kind of a record this is, but he would like to find out; have any of our readers made more than 162.00 off an acre of cane this year? Lex ington Dispatch. COTTON PICKER AT WORK. The most interesting exhibit we saw at the fair was a cotton picker at work. We had hardly ever expectedj to see a mactune tnat wouia no me work so nearly perfectly as this one. fhe machine gets it rapidly. There is nothing complicated about it and it is easy of operation. A lighter type of engine, specially built for the purpose. would, perhaps, add to the effective ness of the machine by 'emovlng some of its weight. But it Is easily drawn bv one horse as it is. This machine certainly leads one to believe that a revolution is coming In the manner of gathering the crop. Raleigh Times. BUYING HAT FROM OKLAHOMA.

Trading was on a much smaller scale than tit last week's end. The movement of stocks through the morning was ' Irregular with a heavy undertone. During early trad ing, sentiment was affected by a re port concerning the likelihood of fur ther dissolution suits against corpor ations and trading was not large. Operators preferred to await news of the progress of the American Tobacco company hearing before taking on heavy risks. 1 There was a strong rise in all Quarters. Cotton Breaks to I-ow Ground. New York. Oct. 30. The. cotton market opened steady at a decline of 4 to 9 points, with January selling even with the previous low record, while March and May contracts broke into new low ground. The decline was checked around 8.93 fr January and 9.18 for May. The market showed very little rallying power and fluctua tions were irregular later in the morn ing. , v Following a rally of two or 3 points from the early break, the market again weakened. , with all deliveries later than December making new low records and with the general list sell ing 12 to 1? points lower. Realizing by recent sellers caused a bulge of 6 to 6 points from this level. Trading became less active late in the fore noon. Prices at midday were within a point or two of the lowest.
