WHAT MR. EDISON SAYS
ABOUT IT..
Anyone who knows anything
•bout the scientific achievements
in the last quarter of a century,
knows who Thomas A. Edison is.
They know, too, that ho is a Re
publican; and they further know
that his personal fortune cannot be
disturbed to any appreciable ex
tent by the success of one party
or the other. But above other
_ things, he feels an interest in the
welfare of his country. A few
day* ago in New York he made the
following statement:
"No President ever made such a
record of achievement. No Pres
ident ever faced such problems. It
la not alone that Woodrow Wilson
haa statesmanship; he has leader
ship, too. Give the people the facts
and it will be a Wilson landslide.
"I have always been a Repub
lican, but I put my country above
party. In a world crisis, with
the fate of America in the balance,
I would be aahamed of myself if 1
did not put myself behind a man
who haa given us peace with honor,
prosperity with Justice and prepar
edneea without militarism.'
U. S. Senator Overman, tbe ■tales
man and orator, will apeak in Gra
ham on Saturday night, Oct. 2lat.
The people of Alamance will be glad
to hear him. Hia knowledge of the
politics of the nation and what the
Wilson Democratic adminiatration
haa done for the country can be bad
from him —one who knows.
The New York Herald, which ia
not friendly to Preaident Wilson, haH
been taking straw votea in the West
and from the reaulta it reapa little
consolation and can hold out amall
proepecta for the success of Candi
date Hnghee. It ia aaid that "straws
ahow which way the wind blows,"
and in. the returna the atraws point
to Mr. Wilaon.
Oar newa columns tell of U-53
German anbmarine'a viait to our
ahores and the destruction of ships
belonging to the allies. Our gov
ernment haa been appealed to and
the matter is under advisement It
is a serious proposition.
THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.
Our county candidates havo been
out for a week. All, except tbe can
didates for the Legislature, simply
make anuouncements, and the two
candidates for tbe Legislature do
the speaking. From the reports the
prospects are altogether encourag
ing for a big Democratic victory.
The people know just as well as
anybody else that things are going
well under Democratic control and
are not going to trade off a good
thing for one of doubtful value.
Throughout the Middle-west, the
Northwest and the Great West, there
are many, and we say many advisedly
who, four years ago voted either for
Taft or Roosevelt, but this year will
vote for Wilson. They are men of
prominence and write it out over
their own signatures. Man • of
them have been life-long Republi
cans, but they say this year they
will support Wilsou and give their
reasons for doing so. On the con
trary we hear of no prominent sup
porters of Wilson four years ago
having deserted him.
With everything farmer
has to sell bringing top-notch prices,
there is little inducement for tliern
to change their way of voting, and
every inducement for them to vote
for "four more years" of Wilson.
Hon. A. L. Brooks, one of the
State'jp. foremost orators and Demo
cratic speakers, will sjn-ak at Iltir
lington Saturday night, Oct. 14th.

FORECASTING THE ELECTION.
A WILBON VICTORY.
The Republican** profess to be
confident that they will elect Mr.
Hughes, basing their claim on the
assumption that the entire litill
Moone vote has returned to Ihe
Republican iold, as indicaled Uy
the Maine election. But lh«y,
overlook the fact that President
Wilson only received 51,000 votes
in Maine in I'J 12 when lie was un
known, and that the Democratic
candidate for the Senate last
month received over 08,000 votes.
This shows an increase of about
33 and one-ihird percent in the
Democratic vote. Of course every
one knows that the entire Hull
Moose vote has not returned- to
the Republican party because a
large proportion of the above
17,000 increase of the Democratic
vote catnß"from the Progressive
and the entire vote of Maine as a
State has increased.
However, even accepting the
Republican argument that th*
vote for Hughes will equal the
combined vote of Taft, 3,439,725,
and Roosevelt, 4,1(!Kj5(i4, Mr.
Hughes would receive 7,608,000
votes and Mr. Wilson, who receiv
ed 0,303,000 votes in l!) 12, would
receive 8,404,000, which would
overwhelmingly re-elect him.
The sure Democratic States
have 173 electoral votes, that is
those States which gave Mr. Wilson
a greater vote in 1912 than they
did to Taft and Roosevelt com
bined, have 173 electoral votes,
which Mr. Wilson is sure to get
this time.
On the above-assumption of giv
ing Duplies the combined vote of
Taft'and Roosevelt and increas
ing Wilson's vote by one-third,
Wilson would receive in udditiou
to the 173 sure Democratic elec
toral votes the 141 additional
electoral votes from the following
States:
■, l'opulur Vote*, Kl ctoral
Vote*,
WII.MON. II i on KM.
Colorado lf»2,000 IHO.OOO 0
Connecticut 11,'00 102,000 7.

Ohio 604,000 500,000 24
Wont Va. 151,'00 134.000 8
It will bo seen from the above
table that the 144 votes contained
therein added to tlie 173 sure
Democratic electoral votes will
give President NVilson at least 317
electoral voles when all he needs
to re-elect hiin is it'll!. .
However, there is scarcely any
doubt that President Wilson will
carry Oregon, Washington, and
Montana, with a strong, fighting
chance in Massachusetts, Michi
gan, Minnesota, Illinois and Cali
fornia, and soine others.
The people are realizing more
pud rnore evety day that if they
would be so unwise as to turn a
good and faithful servant like
Woodrow Wilson out of office, that
they would bo simply buying a
''pig in a if they elected Mr.
Hughes, because all that Hughe*
has done from the time he was
nominated until now has been to
abuse aud vilify Mr. .Wilson and
endeavor to criticise the great
record that Mr. Wilson has made.
Anybody can criticise, but if that
is all he can d'», as seems to be
the case, ho is not worth giviug
serious attention to.

Text of the Leaaon, Act* xxv, 1-12.
M tmory Veraea, 10, 11—Golden Taxt,
Matt, x, 25 —Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Btearna. *'
Tlie successor to Felix, Porcluf) Fes
tun, seems to baro teen In some re
spects like mlndel to Felix, for he, too,
was willing to lo the Jews a pleasure
(xxlv, 27; xxv, 12), and he would have
sent Paul back to Jerusalem had be
l>een willing to go. This was what the
Jews desired, that they might lay In
wnlt for him by the way and kill him
(xxr, 3). Their hatred of Paul does
not seem to have decreased In the least
during two years, for they were still
full of grievous complaints against him
which they could not prove (verses 2,
7). He was having wondrous fellow
ship with the Uird Jesus, for whose
sake lie was suffering and of whom It
was written. "False witnesses did rise
up: they laid to iny charge things that
1 knew not." "lleproaeli hath broken
my heart, and 1 an) full of heaviness"
(Ps. xxxv, 11 j Ixlx, 20).
When we consider such words as
these, "Thou shalt be hid from the
scourge of the tongue," "Thou shalt
keep them secretly In a pavilion from
the strife of tongues," "There shall no
evil. liefall thee," "No weai>on that Is
formed against thee shall prosper"
(Job v, 21; I's. xxxl, 20; jcl, 10; Isa.
Ilv, 171 atul other similar assurances
we are tempted to wonder a little, but
then we remember that Paul was told
tlwt lie must suffer great things for
Christ's sake, and he taught others
that we must through much tribula
tion enter Into the kingdom of God and
that all who will live godly In Christ"
Jesua shall suffer persecution. And our
Lord said to Ills disciples that In the
world we would have tribulation, and
after lie ascended He said to one of
the churches that the devil would cast
some of them into prison, but they
were to continue faithful even If tbey
died for it,» and some who had been
killed were told to rest awhile till oth
ers should be killed as tbey were (Acts
Ix, 10; xlv, 22; II Tim. 111, 12; John xvl,
33; Rev. 11, 10; vl, 11). He certainly
loves His own and will to the utter
most. yet He allowed the disciples
to toll nearly all night against a con
trary wind, and He allowed Lazarus
to continue sick and die nnd be burled
that God might be glorified.
We must hear In mind that Just be
cause we are Ills we have the world,
the flesh nnd the devil to contend with,
but He will not suffer us to be tried
above thnt we are able, and all our
trials and afflictions are working for
us a far more exceeding nnd eternal
weight of glory (1 Cor. x, 18; II Cor.
lv, 15-18). When from the kingdom
and the glory we look bnclt over our
life story and consider nil the way
by which He has led us we may per
haps see n reason for everything He
lias done or permitted. But we shall
surely say rlglit was the pathway lead
ing to this. It therefore becomes us
during this little while to say, "As for
God. His way Is iierfect;" "Just and
true are Thy -ways, Thou King of na
tions" (Ps. xvill, 30; Uev. xv, 111).
If only we could havo no will of our
own and rest wholly 'Mid fully in the
perfect will and love of God we would
have n foretaste of heaven In spite of
all our trials here. When Paul refused
to return to Jerusalem and appealed to
Caesar that decided matters for the
present, and Festns said, "Unto Cae
sar shalt thou go" Iverses 9-12). It
may lie thnt the Lord's night message
to him. "So must thou liear witness
also at Itonie" (xxlll, 11), helped him
to declJe to appeal to Caesar, for Cae
sar meant Home, nnd this may have
seemed to him his opportunity.
King and Bernlce having
come to Caesorea to salute Festus, the
whole matter was laid before them,
nnd expressed' a desire to
hear Paul for himself, nnd that will
be iftr lesson for next week. Thus was
being fulfilled tlie I.ord's message to
Ananias concerning Paul. "He Is a
chosen vessel unto me to bear my
uame before the gentiles and kings
nnd the children of Israel (lx, 15). As
Pestus rehearsed the matter to Agrlp
pa, lie said that tlie whole matter seem
ed to be n question of Jewish supersti
tion, nnd specially concerning one
Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul
affirmed to lie alive (verse 1!>). IJoes
not that seem to describe the knowl
edge that many so called enlightened
people have of Illm even now? , Many
are like Gaillo and care for none of
these things ixvlll, 14 17), while many
more, even among churchgoers, who
take some part In the public worship
outwardly, knbw nothing of Him as a
personal Saviour and friend.
It Is written of such In Isa. xxlx, 13.
"Tills people draw near me with their
mouth nnd wllh their lips do honor
me, but have removed their heart far
from me." Also lu Ezek. xxxlll, 21,
"They hear thy words, but they will
Hot do them, for with their mouth tbey
iliew much love, but their heart goeth
after their eovetousness." lu Matt
xv, 8. 0, our Lord quoted the wools
from Isaiah concerning the hypocrites
of Ills day. Can you not hear our
Lord saying to yon. "What think ye of
Jesus? Whom do ye say that I am?"
Does your heart reply. "O Lord, thou
art to me my own Saviour, who didst
hear my sins on the cross and hast re
deemed mo by Thy precious blood,'that
" I might live for Thee, nnd after 1 have
suffered awhile share Thy kingdom
and e'ory."

his best loved poems. The chil

about Mr. Riley in honor of his

years old handed in this:
"Ob, Whit Come Riley, you are
roigbty funny
A Bitten in the meadow nice and

Of every thing you can think of over

teacher and the next day hand
ed her six poems, among them
tills jewel:
i "In the field of wheat a pumpkin
does lie,
Rich, sweet, and yellow aa gold;
Don't you like pumpkin pie?
I can more than you can hold."
We suppose that Mr. Riley and
all great men were once in the
fourth grade. Who can measure

DESPONDENCY.
When you feel discouraged ana

take a dose of Chamberlain's Tab

Despondency is very often due to
indigestion and biliousness, lor

Newsy Letter From the University.
Cor. of The Gleaner.
Chapel Hill, N. C., Oct. 9th.-
Th® celebration of University Day
on Thursday will be the most im
portant event of the week in
Chapel Hill. Classes will be sus
pended for the day, and all will
render homage to the University
—wuat it has stood fot in the
past, and its outlook for the fu
ture. Dr. Edwin Minis of Vander
bilt University, who aiso taught
English here for three years, will
deliver the principal address.
Many members of the faculty go
out in the State to deliver lec
tures before alnmni organizat : ons
It is expected that several alumni
will return to the Hill for observ
ance of the day here.
The social service work, begun
so auspiciously last year in con
nection with the moonlight school
movement, is moving forward
with much success among the stu
dents this year, under the direc
tion of the College Y. M. C. A.
The Carrboro night schools have
an average attendance of 60, while
the negro settlement schools are
attended by 35. This work is car
ried on by 15 students. Besides
these schools and the district Sun
day schools, the students are also
engaged in helping boys of Chapel
Hill pursue a system of wholesome
recreation. For this purpose the
Boys' High School Club for the
older hoys and the Knights of
King Arthur for the younger have
been organized. These organiza
tions carry on a work similar to
that of tjhe boy scouts. The Y. M.
C. A. through ite employment bu
jqe&u has kept 25 self-help men
continually employed, besides
keeping 40 employed at odd jobs.
As an evidence that the Uni
versity News Letter is affording
suggestions to other colleges for a
similar kind of work, Dr. E. C.
Branson states that a recent com
mnnication has been received from
Dr. S. C, Mitchell, President of
Delaware University, requesting
that he be allowed, with proper
acknowledgment, to follow the
North Carolina publication in his
bulletin for the State of Delaware.
The North Carolina Club, under
Dr. Branson's direct leadership,
already hiis 89 research studies
under way for this year. These
research findings are made at the
headquarters of the North Caro
lina Club which is a clearing
house for exact information. The
studies will be published in the
News Letter and the State press.
The circulation of the News Let
ter is now 9,000 weekly. It goes
into every county of the State and
into 32 States of the Union, as well
as to Canada, England, France
and Egypt.
The University regrets very
much to have to give up the ser
vices of Prof. Charles H. Herty,
head of the Chemical Department,
after December 1. Dr. Herty has
accepted the position of editor of
the leading chemical journal in
the country, "The Journal of In
dustrial and Engineering Chemis
try,-" New York. He has done
much in building up the chemical
work here to its present high de
gree of excellence, and he will be
sorely missed. It is recognized,
however, that he will be in a posi
tion to render service of a most
valuable kind through his journal.
Dr. Herty declares that he will
devote much attention to chemi
cal and industrial development in
North Carolina and the other
Southern States. Dr. Herty will
teach his regular classes until
December.
