SUBSCRIPTION RATES: T Yew Biz Month Tarfte Months MONDAY, JULY 8. 1912. "Come on in, the water's fine. " In Thursday's paper we an nounced two new men in the race for the office of county com missioner and in today's paper another mighty good man in the person of Mr. J. F. McKay, who is serving the county acceptably now in that caoacity. announces that he is a candidate for re-election. Mr. J. W. Carter, chair man of the board, and Mr. A. it. McEachern, who have seen long service and want to get out from under the responsibility, have announced that they- will not be candidates for re-nomination This leaves all accounted for exceDt Mr. J. P. Barker, who was elected two years ago. Since the above was put in type Mr. Barker has handed in his announcement, which appears in today's paper, so that now all the members of the present board are accounted for; also Mr. C. A. Oliver, a well-known citi zen of Marietta, who was a mem ber of a former board, has his card in today's paper. In a press dispatch giving an account of the great crowd of visitors who descended upon Governor Wilson at the New Jersey Governor's cottage at Sea Girt Tuesday immediately after his nomination became known, it is stated that one of the Gover nor's daughters, "Miss Jessie opened the pres idential campaign of 1912 for her father. She gathered a pocket ful of Wilson buttons and pinned them on the callers. She did not forget the four brawney railroad brakemen who came in to shake the Governor's hand and tell him they were tired of being Re publicans and would cast their first Democratic votes for him." Lots of other folks are tired of being Republicans and will cast their first Democratic vote for Wilson. He will draw support from all classes and all parties. They say that some 30,000 people helped Gastonia celebrate the Fourth and that it was some celebration. Now Lumberton could pull off a celebration just as good and everybody in the county and his wife and children would come; and some from oth er counties. But it cannot be done in a day. No more can you get up a county fair in a day, and if Robeson is to have one this fall but maybe it is too late already and we'd best begin talking about one for the fall of 1913. And when it comes off we can have a beauty show without any expense, for County Treasurer M. G. McKenzie would take the prize anyway and it would not be any use to have anybody else. Gov. Chase S. Osborne of Mich igan, an ardent supporter of Colonel Roosevelt during the Colonel's battle for the Republi can Presidential nomination, is sued a statement the other day in which he declared his belief "that there is no necessity for a new political party." He de clared that "All is Wall Street Cattarrh Cauol be Cured with local applications, aa they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and io order to cure it you must take inter nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best Shysicians in this country for years and i a regular prescription. It is com- alar the ed of the best tonics known, com- pined with the best blood purifiers, act- bint we directly on the mucous surfaces The perfect combination of the two in gredients is what produces such won derful results in curing catarrh.

All the evil forces in America will finally line up with Wall Street and Taft Wood row Wilson in char' acter, temperament, preparation and fitness is above the high av erage of American Presidents. He is a Christian, a scholar and a fearless citizen. I hope Colone Roosevelt will not be a candi date." A few moments after he was in formed of his nomination for the Presidency the great Governor of New Jersey, in speaking o: the great honor that had come to him, added, "but just at this moment I feel the tremendous resDonsibilitv it involves even more than I feel the honor." If he had felt otherwise he would not be as worthy of the grea honor he seeks as he is. The Democratic candidate for the Presidency is one of the greatest men who has ever been the standard-bearer of a great party and he will lead the party to victory in November. When the national committee men called on Governor Wilson at his home at Sea Girt Thursday all doubt about the Democratic nominee for President being the actual head of the party was dispelled. The Governor has way with him and without in the least trying to boss or sug gest they were all eating out of his hand in less than no time and did not think of taking a step without consulting him. The national committee is to organize at Chicago on July 15. Lumber river is a dangerous stream and it seems to be rightly called "Drowning Creek". It has claimed many victims and some of the most prominent citi zens of the conuty are among those who narrowly escaped go ing out by that route when they were boys. The drowning of two boys here last week ought to serve as a warning to other boys to be careful how they trifle with the treacherous currents in the. dark waters of the Lumbee. The only steam roller used at the Baltimore convention was public opinion. That worked overtime and resulted in the nomination of Wilson for Presi dent. The people nominated him and the people willjslect him. It is to be hoped that the negroes whose reckless racing across a bridge on the edge of town the other day resulted in serious injury to two white ladies will be caught and given the limit of the law. Mr. S. Mclntyre suggests as a good campaign slogan, "Marshall the Forces and Win With Wil son." We knew somebody was going to do that. It was too great a temptation to resist GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. Seventeen persons were killed. 30 injured, a large number fatal ly, and many others hurt Friday when a passenger train on the Ligonier Valey Railroad near Latrobe, La., was smashed from behind by a double-header freight train.

Jrw York World. No political boss brought about his nomination. No political machine carried his candidacy to victory. No coterie of Wall Street financiers provided the money to finance his campaign He has no debt to pay to corrupt politics or to corrupt business. He was nominated by the irre sistibie force ot public opinion, and by that alone. He stands before the country a free man. The American people have set out to regain possession of their government.and Woodrow Wilson was nominated for -President because he embodies that issue. The bosses and the plutocrats who tried to prevent his nomina tion were beaten by the power of the people, and the power that nominated him is the power that will elect him. With Woodrow Wilson as the Democratic candidate for Presi dent it makes no difference what Mr. Roosevelt does. It makes no difference how many third parties be organizes. Pro gressive Democrats and progres sive Republicans now have a can didate of their own. The con test between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft is now a contest for the control of the Republican organ ization, and nothing more. The menace of a third term no longer hangs over the country. The menace of personal government no longer threatens American institutions. The United States is not to be Mexicanized. It is to be re-Americanized. It i3 because Governor -Wilson represents this vital principle that The World so persistently urged his nomination. It is be cause Governor Wilson represents this principle that the opposition within the party was forced to surrender. It is because Gov ernor Wilson represents this prin ciple that he will be triumphantly elected in November. Such a man is imperatively needed, and the American people, true to their traditions in every crisis, have again found him. Governor Wilson s nomination means that the rule ot the boss is over, it means that the part nership between corrupt politics and corrupt business in national politics is forcibly dissolved. It means that the old regime of protection to Privilege and Pluto cracy is on the scaltold. It means that the old gods are dead. The United States is back to the benediction pronounced by Abraham Lincoln on the battle field of Gettysburg "that this Nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth." A Row in the Treasury Depart merit A row of more tfcan a year's standing in the United States Treasury Department came to ight with the publication on the Fourth of a statement from As sistant Secretary A. P. Andrew in which he resigned and criti cised the conduct of the Depart ment by Secretary MacVeagh; and he said be resigned because he did not approve of the way the Department is conducted and he proposed that a congressional investigation of Secretary Mac Veagh's administration be made. Secretary MacVeagh on the fol- owing day came out in a state ment in which he said he was prepared to prove that Andrew's resignation had been asked for repeatedly and that he had to be prized loose from his job, which he was freezing on to like grim death, notwithstanding his work was unsatisfactory. Senator Lodge Friday vigorous- y dissented from Secretary Mac- Veagh's statement that his for mer assistant was asked to resign because he was inefficient which charge he characterized as ab- surb. Andrew was formerly a professor at Harvard. Mali Carriers Will Fly This is an aee of ereat discoveries. Progress rides on the air.
