Thb Watchman is glad to note
the defeat of Jim Smith, of New
Jersey for the U. S. Senate.
This is a victory for Woodrow
Wilson and indicates how things
are going his way. -
It is stated that Attorney Gen
eral Wtokersham will be retired if
Taft is re-elected president and
there ii no doubt of his being re
tired if some one else is elected, so
Mr. WiokershamJiad as well pre-;
pare to move.
We understand the oourt house
oontraoters are putting in very
poor foundations, thin walls, and
are not putting in enough cement
to make a substantial job, and
there is no one to lee that the work
is done right.. What smokers we
mortals be.
.The fact that Rev . J . 0- Rowe,
D. D., presiding elder of the Sal
isbury dittriot M. E. churchTwill
be moved to other parts by the
next Conference is a matter for
general regret. Dr. Rowe has
been tireless in his efforts for the
upbuilding of the Kingdom of
Ohrist and the church and he 1 is
beloved by all good people.
Thb Watchman is reliably in
formed that P. B. Btard, Fred V.
IfcCanless and P. A. Hartmsn,
county commissioners, have form
ed a partnership and have opened
a quarry on Mr. Hartman's Jand
to furnish the granite for the new
oourt house. Is this true? We
await a denial, or .will assume
that it is correct and that this ex
plains the zeal of certain commi
ioneri for a new court house. .

The Democratic State Executive
Committeee has ruled that a dem

nominees of the Democratic par

-that the people will come to their
own conclusion, or, rather they

Governor Kitohin was in Salis
bury a portion of Thursday look
ing after his senatorial candidacy.
The Governor has suoceeded fair
ly well ao far in holding one job
until he could get another, but,
the chain will have to break some
where, and, ai it is composed of a
lot of very worn and weak links,
we guess the dissolution w ill take
place about November 8th .
W. B. Perry, a field aont of
the Southern Railway, wis in
Salisbury Wednesday. Mr. Perry's
business ii along the lines of farm
demonstration service and he is
prepared to furnish any one with
information concerning the plant
mg ana cultivating' of various
orops. This lame information,
or better can be had free by mak
ing a request of the Agricultural
Department at Raleigh N. C, or
Washington, D. C. There is no
reason why our people should put
themselves under obligations to a
corporation unuer the circum

The State nd National Demo
cratic tiokets are fine, but there
are some on the Rowan ticket who
are greatly unfit. The course, of
the party in this county has been
anything but Democratic. The
Democratic speakers will try to
moethe over our county affairs,
but we don't believe the people
an be hood-winked in snoh ' a
manner. If the people allow the
oonduot of the party and the ut
ter failure of its officers to en
force the law go unrebuked the
past two years will be one long

we may expect during the next
By attending one of these Dem

the risk of getting 10 cents wofn
of meatus cents worth- of bread
aud 2?ents worth of pickle, total
15 cents, for which you are ex-
peoted to vote the Democratic
ticket. And, in voting the Demo
cratic ticket you endorse the Col
onel's (?) dcg law, ah increase of
taxes, the court house outrage,
the refusal to permit the people
to vote oiq questions 'properly pe
titioned for, the violation of law,
and offioers who take an oath and

Again the necessity for increas
ed publio sohool facilities in Sal
isbury has 'arisen. We are glad
and hope that the ways and means
to piovide them will be speedily
found. An . additional buildtDg
should be secured or ejected east
of the railroad in the South
Ward We would regret the ne
cessity to issue bonds, for bond
issues are exceedingly expensive
and must be paid just as other
obligations, but if no other possi
ble method can be fouud to ob
tain the right kind of a sohool
building, let it be bonds rather
than let the children fail to ob
tain a publio sohool training.
The Government now has in its
vault gold to the amouut of $1,
221,000,000. A large part of this is
in coin, or bullion held against
geld certificates scattered through
the country. OF what is known as
"free gold" there is in the '"treas
ury probably $200,030,000. Under
anv adequate banking system this
free gold" would be at the seiv-
ice of the business of the country
If there were a stress ard it was
deoided that the government
should oome to the rescue the on
ly means of utilizing this hoard
would be for the Secretary of the
Treasury to deposit it in the
banks-. Why should it it not
be at the service of the
country at all times? National
Citizen b' (Bankers') League. .
Because it is not the govern
ments' business to furnish banks,
more than other enterprises, with
money to do business with . The
government should control the
money for the people and not al
low the banks to control it for
any reason. The present condi
tion in this respect is better for
all concerned, including the banks.
Blickwell Gets Two Yurslo Pen
Convicted of manslaughter by

Concord, Sept. ' 28. Fred H

life this morning at 9 :45 o'clock
by means of two shots with a 88-

Mr. Fowler moved to Concord
from Charlotte last year and
opened a market. He conducted
the business here for about six
months, when 'the building he was
losated in caught fire and damag

heclosed out his business during
the cummer and only opened
again about 10 days ago. So far
as is known his business was in
good condition and it is under

friends during his residence here
and his tragic end was a shock to
