The people of the State have been outrageously discriminated against in the matter of freight rates and tha meeting at Raleigh shows they have been goaded to the point of desperation. What has the corporation com mission been doing all these years while this discrimination5 has beea going on, that until recently no progress had been made to stop it? Con cord Tribune. beloved, has been doing just what our legislators and other publio men have been doing all. these years, following the line of least resistance. The wrongs existed, there was some talk and a few people like B. J. Justioe, Judge Clark and others, oalled radicals and extremists, called attention to the evil. They were oalled demagogues. The majority of our publio men kept silent or counseled peaee. Don't agitate, they said, it will hurt business or hurt the party. ' By and by the people took hold and when the State was beooming aroused to the iniquity of it all, some of our politicians got busy. They real ized that something had to be done and it was done The Land majk has for years contended that the so-called extremists, fhe radi cals and tne agitators, if you please, are our mcst useful Citi zens, rne masses are hard to move. They endure the gravest wrongs for years without protest and only the oontinued, persist ent agitation by the so-called radicals will arouse them. Often the agitators are extreme. But they have to be extreme to get the masses moved up to anything like the proper position. It is a lamentable fact, that when any great work is to be effected, the masses, aroused by a few leaders, must do it. Oar publio men rare ly ever set the paoe.

And SarroaDded bj i Splendid Agricultural Ceoitn tad Modera Farmers. Should you ever- have occasion to pass Woodleaf on the tram, do not express your opinion of the place by what you see around the depot. The town proper is nearly a mile from the railroad. Wood- leaf is a historic town and jras known by this "name before the Civil War, but beoause of geo graphical conditions the railroad was built about one mile west of Woodleaf as ft the case at Coolee mee. This is a great handicap to the growth of the town as a com mercial and manufacturing cen ter. But these things receive little attention at Woodleaf. She is a great agricultural section, where among the best farming in Rowan County may be found. The grow ing of the finest variety of apples, peaohes and oantaloupes is a noted industry in this section. Other grains produoe well on the fertile land around Woodleaf, A representative of The Watch- man spent Sunday at Woodleaf, and he found that by far the greatest assets of the place were the hospitality of her oitizens, the unity and friendliness of her people, and the religious influence that pervades the place. There are three ohurohes there and the inhabitants are a churoh-going people. They have a splendid public school whioh opened Mon day with a good attendance. Another striking feature of the farm life at Woodleaf is that they live in the city and on the farm at the same time. We mean by this that they nave adopted many modern, "oitified" methods which take much of the drudgery out of farm life.' The writer visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Bailey and found Mr. Bailey in the front rank in modernising rural life. He has an excellent system of water works and sewer age. He has water in his barn convenient .for his stock, Mr. Bailey is just as up-to-date in his farming methods as he is in equip ping his home. He and his as sistant, Maloolm Hoover, both educated at A. fe. M, College, be lieve in scientific farming, in us ing their heads more and their hands less, and are meeting with good success in compelling old mother earth to surrender her hidden riohes. Mr. Bailey is given only as an example of the many progressive farmers aroun d Woodleaf. B. W. Freese lost $117 in a trade with a horse thief laBt Thursday afternoon. The thief, who gave his name as Johnson of Tennesssee, stole a splendid sorrel horse from the Holland Livery Company, in Statesville, Wednes day nisht and arrived at Wood- leaf Thursday afternoon. He succeeding in trading horses with Mr. Freese and the latter gave him $80 boot. Johnson then of fered Mr. Freeze. his horse back for $87, to which he agreed. This man Johnson having flu easy money, proceeded to make traoks, and hasn't been heard of sinoe Mr. Holland, of Statesville, learn ing that Mr. Freeze had his horse, went to Woodleaf Sunday for his horse. All Mr. Freeze got from the d9al was experience minus $117. J. J. Growler Ii Ciiclaaitl. A telegram received by N. O. Burns in Charlotte Sunday night stated that Jeremiah J.

"mere is now a national foreign policy in the United States, which may be called imperialistic, or as one chooses," says The Spectator to day, in summarizing the work of President Wilson's administra tion . Crediting President Roose velt with extending the Monroe Doctrine so as to establish proteo torates over Santo Domingo and Honduras, The Spectator : "The treaty with Nicaragua, which Mr . Bryan hopes to get rat ified, means that the Democrats have adopted bodily the foreign policy of the Republican. "The immediate motive for this national foreign policy is, of course, to be found in the Panama Canal. It is oovenient for the United States, which has to pro tect the oanal, that the Caribbean Sea shouldrbe as far as possible an Ameriean sea."
