WHO STAYED AWAY AND WHY?
Why Was the Vote in the Presidential
Election of 1912 Smaller Than the
Vote in 1908.
Baltimore Sun.
Why was the vote at the Presi
dential election in 1912 smaller by
500,000 than the vote of 1908? The
natural increase in the voting
strength of the country should have
made it considerable greater than
four years ago, even if there had
been nothing about the campaign to
excite more than ordinary interest.
But in view of its length, its unusual
character and the many circumstances
which made it singularly exciting and
extraordinary, the apparent public
apathy seems, at first blush, hard to
explain. Even when all the figures
from all parts of the country are
available for expert analysis, po
litical scientists will have hard work
to find an answer to this question
that will amount to a demonstration.
It is, in fact, one of those questions
which can only be answered abso
lutely by a person? 1 canvass that it
is impossible to make.
Nevertheless, even in the absence
of the details necessary for anything
like convincing deductions, there are
some obvious circumstances that
would account for the differences be
tween the vote of 1912 and 1908. The
very facts which during the cam
paign seemed likely to bring out a
big vote were probably responsible
for the light one actually cast. The
candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt added to
the excitement, but it split the Re
publican party and created a sit
uation which disgusted and alienated
a very large number of Republican
voters. There were thousands of
such men in all parts of the country
who were driven to the woods by the
alternative presented. They did not
like Taft, they did not trust Roose
velt, and their stomachs were not yet
in condition to digest a Democratic
candidate. They were virtually with
out a place of political refuge to
which they felt they could repair
with dignity and consistency, and they
remained outside of all the political
camps. They probably account for a
verly' large proportion, if not all, of
the missing vote.
It is not unlikely that there were
some Democratic sulkers and reac
tionaries, to whom the new Demo
cratic evangel was distasteful and
offensive, a'ul who may be numbered
among the inglorious 500,000, but we
hope and believe that they were not
numerous. Whoever composed this
neutral army, which held aloof while
the fate of the country was at stake,
they doubless regret now that they
played so poor a part in the conflict.
The men who constitute the strength
of a nation are not tho men who stay
away from the polls in a great crisis,
any more than are those who
shirk the call to arms vhen an enemy
lands on their shore. The vote of
1912 was smaller than that of 1908,
but what it lacked in quantity, it
more than made up in quality. It
was the political cream of the coun
try. It was the skimmed milk that
did not figure in the feast.
Sixty North Carolina Counties Fight
Hookworm Disease.
Raleigh, Dec. f. The county com
missioners of Haywood, Hoke and
Union counties made appropriations
Monday for procuring the State and
county dispensaries for the free
examination and free treatment of
hookworm disease. This campaign
has swept the State, as the three
counties named, together with 57
which have previously procured this
work, total sixty counties. The ac
tual visual results of the work it
seems are truly wondeiful.
The campaigns have been con
ducted in 54 counties with the re
sults that more than 150,000
microscopic examinations have been
made, exceeding 100M.iO persons have
been treated, and an entirely new idea
with regard to home sanitation creat
ed. This health work is row in pro
gress in Anson, Franklin, Lee, Hen
derson, Iredell and Scotland counties.
The seven North Carolina phy
sicians, Drs. Ferrell, Strosnider, Prid
gen, Covington, Hughes and Jacobs,
j who are devoting their entire time to
the hookworm campaign of the State,
will go to Little Rock December 18th
I to attend a conference with the sixty
I odd representatives of other South-
erri States.

Good Farming.
Charlotte News.
Mr. D. B. McEachern, of Laurin
burg, is one of the champion farm
ers of North Carolina and it is
doubtful if a farmer in any other
State can show this record for the
past year. On a farm cultivated with
27 plows Mr. McEachern sold .$25,000
worth of cantaloupes, 400 bales of
cotton, 1,500 bushels of corn, 50 tons
of hay and had sufficient left to run
his farm. Besides this he fattened
and killed 84 fine hogs, sold ;i4 fine
steers in St. Louis, Mo., and bought
and sold .$i0,000 worth of mules that
season.

It's Better to be Safe than Sorry !" i
yhen you leave your home with
$15 or $20 to put in a new Suit or
Overcoat, you had better be sure of
your store; it pays to go to the right
place. We've done our best to make
this the right place fo get GOOD
CLOTHES, and though neither we,
nor anyone, can give "something for
nothing," we believe we can give you
more real value at $10 or $25 than
any store in town.. And one thing
you can be sure of reliability.
You're certain of your money's worth
here; safe in buying anything we
recommend. And "it's better to be
safe than sorry."
We don't want to build your suit
to order for $10 or $15. We can't;
nor could anyone give you much for
that. But we do want to sell you
better clothes than that, ready-to-put-on,
and made as they ought to
be, and know that when you leave
here you'll come again for more,
someday.

made to satisfy you. And we'd
rather sell them to you, knowing
you'll like them, and say a good word

something on which we could make

better in the end.
