C., as second cl matter. N. C., Oct. fO, 1912. Hie Clapp committee in Wash ington is probing tho campaign fund business to the' point where the big interests flinch. Some of the contri butors and those who distributed the contributions have conveniently forgot ton much that the committee wanv io know. It takes a cork screw to pnll out the information, but It is coming slowly. J The Pittsboro Record calls atten tion to a statute in our State laws defining what shall constitute apoli tical party, to-wit, one "whose'can- didate for governor received as many as fifty thousand votes in the elec tion held August 2nd, 19(H)." How are the Bull Moosers going to get by this? Orange county is to have good roads. Some time ago tbe county voted $250,000 and it was attempt ed to defeat the issue of bonds. The matter was carried to the Supreme Court which has ruled in favor of the bond issue. Gov. Kitchin's manager charges that a "packed convention" run the State Democratic Convention at Ral eigh. That is a serious charge, un less he ia thoroughly prepared to prove it. And the chances are 10 to 1 that he can't. The news of the impression made by Gov. Wilson in this tour through tho We.it is exceedingly comforting. If he is not the next president, the signs are Wrong. The Danville (Vs.) Register favors the re-election of Senator Sifflmons and says that he voted the same way as did Senator Daniel. Such a record should eatisfy the most exacting partisan. The polls being taken by the lead ing papers in the Unitod States point unoiringly to the election of Gov. Wood row Wilson. Robt. T. Gray, for many years a prominent member of the Ral eigh bar, died Wednesday a week at bin home in Raleigh an a result "of a stroke of paralysis, aged 05. Mm.

The Democrats of the senatorial district composed of McDowell, burke, Caldwell and Alexander counties met at Morganton Tues day a week and nominated Law* rence Wakefield, of Caldwell, and A. C.

Passen gers from the burned sleepers were supplied with clothes at Birmingham. A dispatch from Newport, R. 1., says- an explosion on the torpedo boat destroyer Walke, last week, resulted in the death of Lieut. Donald P.

It 1h an annual practice of. al- i most every goad business uinti at the end of the year to take inveu-! Tory of his stock on hand, of his assets and liabilities, and from this information together with conditions that confront him, to outline his policies and make his plans for the year before him. In conformity to this same sane prac tice, some salient facts and figures from the County Superintendent of Schools, report are Hereby given and some policies are set forth for the opening scholastic y.car. There are now 80 rural schools in Alamance county—s4 white and 26 colored, employing 132 teachers, 84 white and 28 colored. Of the white schools just 27 em ploy one teacher and 27 two or more. There are 23 one teacher colored scools and 3 two teacher schools. There is not a log school house in the county for white children. The last one was re placed tho past year by an excel lent frame building, modern in every particular. Of the 20 houses for the colored race there remain only 3 log houses. There are now in process of erection and nearing completion 2 two-story brick buildings that are under rural supervision, one at Elon and one at Snow Camp. During the schol astic year that has just closed there were built in the county 4 new school houses. There are now 37 rural libraries for tho whites and 2 for the col ored, containing in all 4,278 vol umes. There were established the past year two original libraries and 3 supplements. There are 25 local tax districts. Three were established the past year. There is a census of 4,191 white children in tiio rural schools nnd 1,717 colored children. The en rollment for the year, 3,005 white and 1,336 colored. The averftge attendance, white 2,00(5; colored, li'.if). These figures'show that the wliito schools made an a( tendance of only (18 .per cent, of the en rollment. There were enrolle i in the first grade of the white schools BGO and in the 7th grade 255. The average length of term for the colored is days; the average length of term for tho whites 94 days. This difference is due to local tax voted and levied by the whites. Tho average term iu local tax districts is 110 days. At,the opening of tho past year a county commencement was an nounced aud certificate of attend ance offered to Such student in the comity that did not miss a day and was not tardy. There was awarded 152 of these certilieates. Also two collective prizes for at tendance were offered by the chairman of the Board of Educa tion, Mr. J. L. Scott, of Burling ton, and the Supt. These prises were 15.00 each and were to go to those two schools making the best average attendance. They were won by Center gf Newlin town ship and St. Paul of Coble town ship. Their attendance WM 90 and 88 per cent, respectively, of enrollment. Graduation from the Public School was made possible for the first time the past year. There were 21 certificates of grfd uation awarded at tho county commencement. The county com mencement is now a permanent part of our educational system. Next spring the county com mencement will be held about the same tiipe in the season and will not only carry the same features of the past year but will be en larged aud developed along sev eral lines. * The same prises will be offered aud the same certifi cates will be awarded.

Roly on SCO I T'S ami insist on SCOTT'S. Wilson Stands For a Principle— Will You Stand By Him? Wood row Wilson Us vurly different order of mifi than you find among the ranks of many good men la practical political Woodrow Wilson is not among the great majority of. politicians and business men, otherwise estimable characters, who believe that the end fcstifiei the means, who are honest in a commercial or political sense. s The candidate of the progressive voters of the country not only does not believe in the doctrine of ! ."anything to win," but he insists on plain old fashioned honesty in every detail of his campaign: Woodrow Wilson proposes to win on the merits of his candidacy and platform or not at aIL "Ckan hands or no fight" is Wilson's ultimatum to his supporters throughout The Country. \ No Tainted Money For Wilson I Not a dollar of questionable money will Re spent to elect Woodrow Wilson. The Democratic National Committee is heart and soul in accord with the candidate'rviews. And the corrupting influences, with no pblitical faith, casting about to win a foothold iq the new govern ment with bribes of ill-gotten jhpl", have despaired of reaching Wilson or his campaigners. * liiey have gone to the 'enemy, whoever that enemy may be. It is a matter of common knowledge that the "interests" are using all their political funds to defeat Wilson. This makes it your fight. What the American People Need to Know The people have constantly made the mistake of believing that this is a money-ridden nation. Such is only the case insofar as the People fail to get together and so permit the few to control the dishonest representatives they, by mistake, elect to office. The actual money power of the People is still greater than that of the Interests. The Progressive People of the country, if they get together, can buy and sell the Corrupting Influences •nd destroy their financial power. So Woodrow Wilson and his managers believe that not only is it the only clean method but the most, practical method for the Progressive People of the country to supply the Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund. The People to Fight With THEIR Dollars This year a popular president is to be elected with the People's money. The Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund is to be collected from the rank and file of the Progressive Voters of the country. . The bills of the Democratic National Committee are to be paid, not with the thousands of the Interests, but with the individual dollars of the earnest, eager voters who desire clean, efficient government and who arc willing to help Wilson as he wants to be helped. Money thus needed is not spent in improper ways or In any manner similar to the way in which the funds of ths Interests are disbursed - V But we have to tell the voters of the country about Woodrow Wilson. We have to tell them what he has done. We have to tell tli'-m what lie stands for. We have to point out to important planks in his platform. All this means that to hold up our end we will be obliged to spend as much money as those who oppose us. This means that every nnn or woman who believes In Wilson should be witling to contribute to his cause. Let the supporters n( Wilson help us to spread the Wilson gospeUto the four winds. Let the Progressive Voters battle this year with their pocketbooks as well as their ballots. We Bolicit Popular You Qive From $1 to S2O? Of course, you can—and you are glad to support the cause In this way. -I Practically every voter can afford to give $1 to aid the Wilson Campaign. A great many can give 82. A great many can give K>. And there are lots and lots of progressive voters who will be eager to donate from CIO to S2O. These are the kind of contributions we want. / And we will be proud tn receive from thousands, who can only afford 11, their $1 contributions. We want to heaf j from every man who has a dollar to give. This year the tnan with the dollar must defeat the government tradticer who spends his thousands. I Get Club Subscriptions If yon know many Wilson men, If you work among many Wilson men, head a list with your name and money and get the others to join you with their subscriptions. M Then send your list with the money to C. R. Crane, Vice Chairman, Finance Committee, Democratic National Committee, 900 Michigan AVenue, Chicago, Illinois. - No loyal Wilson man can do more than this to assure Wilson's -ictory at the polls in November.

( In addition to these things there; will be contests in athletics and 1 in recitation and declimation to I be more fully announced later. Two new things will be intro duced into the schools this year that, no doubt, will go far in de veloping the internal work in the schools. Oqe Is an outlined scheme setting forth the course of study by grades in such a form as to suit Our rural schools with their short terms. The course of study aud the graduation heretofore has been based on the long term of the city and when applied to tho short rural school it failed to tit, aud hence was impractical. Another thing, there will be a report card for each stndent that will show each month to the parent just the attendance made and the work done in each subject by the stu dent. Th«» oue other thing above nil otheis that needs tho serious con- sideration of pupils, patrons, com mitteemen and teachers is the question of attendance. All our efforts, however strong and com plete, fall and fajl utterly, with out attendance. A people can't be trained that are not in train ing. And when attendance is only 49 per cent, of the pupib, and G8 per cent, of the enrollment, a large per cent, of tho pupils pre not in training. Let each nnd every one see to it that attend ance is increased and that right early, this year. J. B. ROBERTSON, Supt. Sick headache is caused by a disordered stomach.

Norment, of Lum berton, waa named as the candi date for Congress. The State election in Georgia Wednesday a week resulted in the election of the Democratic ticket beaded by John M. Statoh for An Estimate of the Strength of Sim mons and Kitchin. Newton Enterprise, [ Gov. Kitchin takes exceptions to the estimate of Rutherford county Democrats that Simmons will get 95 per cent, of the vote of that county. He is telling down East, where the tide is running i strong against him, that he will got five or six times as many votes as he did four years ago in the counties west of Salisbury, and that the sth district will give a majority bigger tjian Simmons will get in all his districts. This clai n shovs the hopelessness of his case. Except in: Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln and Rowan he got only about 1 per cent, of the vote four years ago. llis claim that he will get five times as much this year is about right in the coun ties west of Catawba, which will" give him 5 per cen£. of the Demo cratic vote. Catawba, Lincoln, Iredell and Rowan gave him about 25 per cent. tVro years ago, but will not do that well for him this year. As to his majority in the -sth district overcoming the Siin inotis majorities in tbe other dis tricts, it would be a safe bet that Simmons' majority in any one of four districts, 3rd, 6th, Oth and 10th, will be larger than Kitchin's' in the sth. Either the Oth or 10th will overcome it with 3,tWO votes to spare.' Two counties, Mecklen burg and Buncombe, will unas- sisted, wipe out Kitchin's ma jority in the 6th district. Frank Wigfall, a negro who had assaulted Mrs. Esther Ilig gins, known as "the prisoner's friend," was hanged by the con victs in the State prison at Raw lings, Wyo. To save the negro from lynching the sherlff rescued him from a jail besieged by a mob and carried him to the State prison for safety. Many of the State prison convicts remembered acts Of kindness of "Granny" Iliggios, and they soon made an oppor tunity to soize the negro and hang him after they had locked his guard in a cell. The recent decision of I "resi dent Taft that Catholic teachers employed in Indian public schools may continue to wear their re* ligious garb or insignia while en gaged in the work applies only to teachers now employed. The privilege is denied to those who may hereafter enter the service. This ruling will enable the gov ernment to fnlfill its obligations, tire President says, to the teach ers who were taken into Ihe gov ernment service when religious schools were taken over bodily as government institutions. Only 61 teachers are involved.
