No fanner or businea* man of moderate capital should fault Presi dent Wilson and the Democratice national administration. Aside from the other constructive measures put on the statute books, the Farm Loan act will come as a boon to the far mer and the Regional Hanks have actually emoncipated tho smaller business from the grip of the "interests." y'V *;. t ' ■■ J —%" The marvel of it is that the European war has lasted tnoro than two fears —Germany and Austro- Hungary fighting the rest of Europe. While lately almost daily some posi tion of the Germans has been taken by the allies, yet not a battle has been fought on German soil, and now It ia be'ng predicted that the war will last another year. It is marvelous! Candidate Hughes baa assailed the 8-hour a day law paused by Con gress. It was a Republican Congress that created an 8-hour law for gov- eminent employees. Are not those who lead the strenuous and hazard one life of railroading as much en titled to the benefits, if there are any, of auch a law as those wiio do easy office work in the departments at Washington '! Now, whose fault it it, if the aeeda sown in Washing tan have multiplied so rapidly ? Qnilford has had a notable mur- der trial—the trial of J. A. Terry for killing John R. Stewart on July 15th in the Brick Chnrch section. Tho trial was commenced last Thursday and concluded Tuesday. The chief defense waa insanity—Terry being under the influence of atrong drink when he committed the crime. Tuesday night the jury brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. A strong array of counsel —the StateV foremost —sppeared in the case. Ia this issue we publish the ap pointments for the county canvass, also »notice of the time when Wil ■on-Bickett clubs will be organized throughout tlie county. From now until the election on Nov. 7th tlie business of politics will have close, active, militant attention. We urge the Democrats to get busy. The opposition will no doubt be ss ac tive as ever, hence the Democratic force* of the county should be hosier they and lose no opportunity to jjo every tarn will count. The dismantling of the old Ala mance Fair Grounds is going on. It should not be so. A fair is an insti tution that no progressive farming community can afford to do with out —we mean the County Fair where neighbors meet and exhibit every manner of product from the farm. The Fair Association was incorpo rated the 28th of July, 1888, and now it is being pulled down. It is lamentable. Of the 18 individuals who signed the articles of incorpora tion oyer 28 years ago, at least 12 arc still living and active. Though the material work of their hands is passing, the spirit that prompted the beginning will not pass, nor should it. Again, as in the outset ' The Gleaner was first to suggest a County Fair, it suggests that an other effort be made.

The election in Maine has been very widely discussed and al though it went Republican, it is full of promise of a Democratic victory this fall. The main fea ture is the immense gain in ho Democratic vote. In lt>l2 Presi dent Wilson only received 51,000 votes, whereas in 1016 the Demo cratic vote lias increased to 68,- 000, about 35 per cent, increase. If this same increase continues throughout the country it would give President Wilson a vote of about 8,500,000, which would bo sure to re-elect him, and it will, so in view of the fact that with the Republican vote split half in two in Maine in 1912 when Mr. Wilson only carried it by a 3,000 votes, the fact that tliey de feated Senator Johnson for re election by only 9,000, shows what a strong drive the power of Wil son's name will make this fall. So if the Republicans are making so rnnch of a hurrah over a very small victory in a Republican State, what will they do with such States as Now York, which gave Wilson over 200,000 plurality, and Ohio, which hs~carried by 150,000 and Indiana by over 100,000. The Republicans spent money like water in Maine and they brought out overy aged and de erepid voter to swell the Republi can vote, and many of these men had not voted for years, and mere ly went to the polls and voted the Republican ticket in "order to get a n.ice ride in a Republican auto mobile. Mairie has not shared in the great prosperity of the country like the other States, because the farms of Maine are rocky and un productive, and thus manufactur ing interests are not large, and if Maiue had shared in the great' prosperity such as the great manu facturing, farming, and mining States are enjoying she would have gone Democratic, the same as the other great States of the country are going to do in-Novem ber when they come directly under the spell of the magic power of that great name "Woodrow Wil son" who has taken the Govern ment of the United Statos out of the hands of the corporations, and runs it for the people. National Prosperity Increasing Reports from the industrial centers indicate very clearly that the great tidal wave of prosperity has not yet roached its zenith but is rising higher and higher. The stock of the great steel corpora tion capitalized at nearly $3,000,- (XX), (XX), a larger corporation than the Standard Oil, has gone above par, and lias reached the highest point in its history. The rail roads are showing increasingearn ings, and industries in every line are flourishing as nevor before. The people of tho United States would bo most unwise to turn President Wilson out of office, who has not only kept us out of two wars, but whose wise states manship has contributed so large ly to our present flourishing con dition. If Mr. Hughes should be elected it would be an unparallel ed calamity, as it would start the Republicans "tinkering with the tariff," as they have pledged them selves in their platform to repeal the Underwood Tariff Hill, which would cause a "depression of busi ness" for one and possibly two years, as tariff tinkering always does. However, tho icood sense of the American people can be depended upon to let well enough alone, for as soon as tho war ends, our trade with Germany and Austria which has boon lost to ns during the war will be resumed at once, and which is twice as large as our trade in munitions of war has been, so with Wilson retained in the Whitp House prosperity of the country is assured for many years to come.

Yesterday morning just after breakfast Messrs. W. A. Jones, Sgt„ Ben P. Terrell, Corp, L. B. Hradshaw, Corp., and P. C. All red, Sgt., all of the 3rd Regiment Band, chartered a boat and with canteens, lunch, ammunition, etc., the party explored Bogue Sound for atiout thirty miles. The party returned • late in the afternoon with a cub which they had secured from F. J. Hurts field of Ocean, N. C , Mr. Hartafleld having killed the old mother bear while on .a deer stand in the jungles near the Sound. lie caught both cnbs, but. their claws were "too much mus tard," so one made good hi* escape. Corp. Bradshaw suggested that the mascot be named Don Minor in memory of their dearly beloved Capt., Don E. Scott, and Colonel, S. W. Minor. The suggestion was accepted and the recruit gladly received by the Band. Before night the active little cub had slapped dogs and soldiers going and coming "and scattered pots and pans all over the kitchen, before many more days the Band boys want to lead the bear to water in the Rio Grande. The boys have quite a circus now. They have two dogs, one bear, Indian clubs, dumb bells and hori zontal bar. They had one ram but he escaped. If necessary they can add Mexicans and rattlesnaks to theii* collection. MEXICAN PROGRAM The following is the program for the week "beginning Monday, Oct. 2th. MONDAY NIGHT.

I i: Farm and ii Garden ■'h 111 n 11111 mll n m ■ PLAN BACK YARD GARDEN. A •mail Patoh Can Supply • Family With Fraah Vegetable* All B**aon. [Prepared by UnlUd BUtea department of agriculture.) "Plan your back yard garden on pa per in advance" la tbe advice of the vegetable garden specialist* of the United State* department of agricul ture. A little indov gardening of tbla sort will enable yon to have freeh veg etable* throughout tbe season and will wiak» the same ground, with Uttle ex tra labor and expense, yield two or three crop* Instead of the single crop commonly raised in small gardens. Where two- or three crop* are grown instead of one a comparatively small garden will supply the average family with fresh vegetables all season. More over, sncb planning in advance will enable yon to get the ground ready In time for planting and to secure your seeds and plant them at the dates which give each variety its best grow ing conditions. For example, if you will thus plan the plot to be devoted to peas by the time yonr first crop Is ' t-- ' : v harvested the second crop will be In bearing and the plants of the third well advanced." , Next study your garden bulletins or books on horticulture and the seed cat alogues to determine what can be grown In your climate,under the con ditions of exposure, soil and drainage in your back yard. This study may lead you to plan ditches to improve drainage, show you that yfiur son needs finely sifted ashes to break up its sticky character or that you must add rotted manure, dried blood, bone meal, wood ashes, lime or other fer tilizers to make it suitable for vege tables. Then comes the consultation with the family to determine the sorts of vegetables the different members llk« and which, therefore, they personally will be interested in raising. Confine your selections to the standard well tried sorts. Finally, and this is most important, is the conference between the garden force and the housewife as to what vegetables really are worth raising in the back yard. It will hard ly pay to raise in a small space pota toes, corn, cucumbers, squashes 01 melons, which occupy a large area In proportion to yield and which can be bought cheaply in nearby markets. In general the aim of the back yard gardener should be to raise those veg etables which are either expensive or in which the flavor or quality depends importantly on absolute freshness. Peas and string beans or lima beans, to be at their best, should be cooked almost Immediately after they are gathered. Teas kept even for a day lose their delicate bloom and sweetness. Conse quently as much space as possible should be devoted to such vegetables, and other vegetables In which fresh ness does not count so importantly should largely be used as Aliens to keep the ground at work. Effort also should be made In a garden to have special vegetables, such as okra, of which the family is fond and which are difficult to obtain in local markets or are commonly high priced. The housewife probably will want a little bed of parsley, chlvos or other herbs, not because they are expensive to buy, but because of the convenience of be ing able to pick a sprig Just when K is heeded.

I, 19—Commentary Praparod by Rav. D. M. Staarna. The chief captain, who with his sol di era. bad reacued raul from the hand* of the mob, gave up all thought Of scourging him when be found that he had a lioma* citizen to deal with, and one that was such by birth, for It had coat the captain a great sum to obtain hla citizenship. Then he. determined to bring him before the Jewish chief priests and council that he might U possible learn the cause of all this up roar against this man txxli, 27-30). Just a word about our heavenly citi zenship and jolnt-helrshlp with Jesus Christ, which no amount of money or good works con purchase, but can only be obtained by birth, the new birth, born from above (Tit. 111." 4-7; Ps. xllx.-O. 7; Zeph. I, 18; John 111, 8. 5, 7). When obtained, then whoever touches us touches Him whose we are, mid all the power of heaven Is ready to de liver us if necessary. Tanl began his testimony before the Jewish council by an assertion that he had always lived In all good conscience before God. This led to a command from the high priest to smite him on the month, which brought from Paul some true scathing words, "God shall smite thee, thou whlted wall," for which he apologized when be knew that he was the high priest He was certainly not God's high priest, except In name, like the nominal believers at Bardls, who had a name to live, but were dead (Rev. ill, 1; lesson verses 1-6). When Paul perceived that he had be fore Mm in the council both Phari sees and Sadducees he began a testi mony which soon set them one against the other to such a degree that again the captain had to rescue Paul from their hands by force, lest be should have been pulled In pieces by them (verses 6-10). The captain must have been sorely perplexed by this strangest Boman citizen he probably ever had on his hands, for this was the third riot from which be had rescued him. It may be well to note here a > simple distinction in doctrine between Sad ducees and Pharisees, the former be- lieving In no resurrection nor angel nor spirit, while the latter are said to have believed both (verse 8), but when we recall what the Lord Jestls said of the Pharisees In Matt, xxlll, calling them hypocrites, serpents, generation of vipers, on the way to hell, there was no choice between their beliefs In the light of eternity. They were all In the same boat, in the same broad way to destruction. Oh, how they hated the truth of Ood even as they had hated Him who la the Truth, anfl conspired together to kill Him, which they final ly accomplished (Acts 11, 22, 23; ill, 13- 15; Jv, 10; v, 29-82). They so hated Paul and his testimony to Jesus and His resurrection and a full and free salvation without clrcum clsslon or any works of the law that over forty of them took an oath that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul (verses 12-14,21,80). We are sure that they did not succeed In killing him, and how long they fast ed we do not know, but we remember some'words which are Btlll true, "He that sltteth In the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision." "The Lord brlngeth the counsel of the heathen to nought. He maketh the de vices of the people of none effect" "Take counsel together and it shall come to nought" (Ts. 11, 4; xxxlli, 10; Isa. vill, 10). Now we come to a young man story reminding us of Samuel and the boy whose loaves and fishes fed more than 5,000 and other young men stories in Scripture. We are also told Just a little of Paul's family affairs and that he had a married sister seemingly liv ing in Jerusalem, and this young mac was her son. We might infer from Zech. 11,4; Jer. 1,6,7; that both of these men were called to be the Lord's mes sengers as young men. Paul's sister's son was certainly the Lord's messenger on this occasion to save Paul from these murderers. The result was that Paul was started off to Caesarea by night with an escort of 200 soldiers, "200 spearmen and 70 horsemen and a letter to Felix, the governor, stating the facta as far as the chief captain was able. The letter also contained a word In Paul'a favor to the effect that the chief captain knew nothing against him worthy of death or of bonds (verges 22-83). As in the previous chapter, the beat word to me was verse 11, so It to also In this chapter where we have the record of another night visit of the Lord to Tanl. with the message, "Be ol good cheer, Paul, for as thou hast testi fied of me In Jerusalmen so must thon bear witness also at Rome." This made him sure of reaching Rome In some way and In due time as the Lord'i messenger. As to this word (tharseo) which Is translated "Be of good cheer," or "Be of good comfort,-" our Lord used It on just Ave different occasions, and thla la the last, the others being lo Matt lx, 2. 22; xlv, 27; John xvl, 33.
