The Democratic plan of organi zation in this State provides for the proper representation of the minority in ail the conventions of that party, but the Eepublican plan of organization does not so provide. According to the Demo cratic plan the minority, however small, can have its representation in any Democratic convention held in this State, but according to the Republican plan the minority, however large, can be entirely ig nored by enforcing the "unit rule," as it is called. That is, when one candidate has a bare majority in a township he can get the solid vote of that township in the coun ty convention, and his competitor (who may have received only one less) is given no vote at all. Of course every fairminded man must admit that the Democratic plan is the fairer and more apt to give expression to the wishes of the voters of the party. And yet some men have the cheek to assert that Democrats ought to desert their party and join the Republi cans in order to abolish "machine" politics and "let the people rule!" In last week's issue of the Union Republican Mr. Guy Carter, the present Republican Senator, from Surry county, calls attention to this difference in the plans of or ganization of the two parties in this State, and urges the next Re publican State convention (which meets at Charlotte on the 26th) to adopt the better plan of the Dem ocratic party, so as to allow the minority its proper representa tion. He truly says that "tie unit rule is the best method to assure machine domination and perpetu ate bossism," and for, this reason we predict that the Republican State convention will not abolish it! .A suit has been brought by Baxter Shemwell in the superior court of Davidson county against the Southern Railway Company for $10,000 damages, which he al- leges that he suffered on account of an alleged assault made on him by the conductor of a train be tween Greensboro and Lexington. This is about the "cheekiest" suit we have ever heard of under the circumstances of the case, and yet ,if he is as fortunate in getting a jury as he was in his trial for as- ' sassinating Dr. Payne he may re cover the amount claimed' by him! The Progressive Farmer is pub lishing in every issue a most in teresting letter from its talented editor, who is now on a visit to Europe, and these letters alone are well worth the subscription price of that valuable paper. These letters are not only unusu ally well written from a literary standpoint, but are also most instructive and give much infor mation that is not given in guide books. , The "Independence" party held its first national convention last week at Chicago and nominated Thomas Hisgen, of Massachusetts, for President, and John Temple Graves, of Georgia, for Vice-Presi dent. This new party was started by William Randolph Hearst and he is its chief promoter, and this fact of itself is sufficient to indi cate what radical ideas it advocates and how unworthy it is of the support of any good citizen. The platform adopted by its national convention last week is far worse and more dangerous than the platform of the old Populist par ty. It embraces the worst and most radical features of the old Populist platform and adds other more dangerous features. It is a freak in politics, and yet will no doubt attract to it some good men, just as did the so-called People's party. Georgia can boast (?) of two of the most notable political cranks in the United States, Thomas E. Watson and John Temple Graves, and it seems a pity that they are notonly opposed to everybody else but are also opposed to each other; Watson is still the leader of the remnant of the old Populist par ty and Graves is the principal H tor of Hearst's papers and is also the Vice-Presidential candi date of Hearst's party, called the Independence League. Last week these two irreconcilables had quite a lively newspaper scrap, that made very interesting reading. What a pity that two such talent ed men did not have well-balanced minds and were more constructive and less destructive! The State Board of Health has made arrangements, by authority of an act of the last Legislature, for the treatment of persons threatened with hydrophobia un der the charge of Dr. C. A. Shore, Director State Laboratory of Hy giene at Raleigh. When a person is bit by a dog suspectedxof being mad its head should be packed in ice to prevent putrefaction and sent by express prepaid, to Dr. Shore. A judge of the United States Circuit court at Chicago has de cided that it is a violation of the act of Congress for a railroad company to issue a pass for ad vertising. Of course this applies only to an interstate pass. In this State such a contract is allowed by an act of our Legislature for transportation in this State. The storm which prevailed in this section last week was much more severe in the eastern part of the State, especially about Kinston and New Bern. In that section it was very destructive, the rainfall being almost unprecedented and ruining many crops, washing away bridges and damaging the railroads. Confidence Returning. Even while the railroads are showing such fearful losses in earnings, there is discernible a strong note of returning confidence in business. This was one of the factors in the steady advance of the stock market in the latter part of July, resulting in the highest prices seen since the panic oi last October for many important se curities. The great steel industry is reported in better shape, with the United States Steel Corpora tion operating at from 55 to 60 per cent of its capacity, and prices of cotton goods have regained some of their loss . But concrete evidence, in the way of higher prices for commodities, of return ing prosperity is less in evidence than a general hopeful feeling that the country is in the process of righting itself from the bad up set of last fall, and that steadier weather is immediately ahead. To this fueling the very satisfactory crop conditions have largely con tributed. Cotton has had excel lent weather through July, and will be in good shape to with stand untoward weather that may come in August and September. The large acreage of corn is in very fair condition. The Kansas wheat crop is being threshed, and the spring wheat of the Dakotas was rescued in the middle of July by copious rains from the drought that was threatening it. To the North the new wheat lands of Canada promise to give an excel lent account of themselves in the harvest of 1908.

The mob was composed of about fifty men and the people of the town knew noth ing of the affair until daylight re vealed the four bodies dangling from a tree just v outside Russell ville on the Nashville pike. The following note was found pinned on one of the bodies: "Let this be a warning to you niggers to let white people alone or you will go the same way. Hugh Rogers better shut up or quit." The negroes who were lynched were members of a lodge and at a meeting recently it is said they approved of the murder of James Cunningham, a white farmer, by his negro tenant, Ruf us Browder. This murder occurred in the southern part of Logan county and it is supposed hare that the mob was made up of men from that part of the county. Eating a Rattlesnake. From the New York World. Eisrht persons partook of a din ner of which fried rattlesnake wai the principal dish last night at a hotel in Newton, N. J., and all say the rattlesnake was very pal atable. The snake was killed e.arW in the day by Mr. Allen. He had eaten rattlesnake on many oc casions in North Dakota, where the natives call them prairie eels, but to the others in the party it was a new dish. Those who par took said that it was sweeter and daintier than an eel. N Young Couple Drowned. Jamestown. N. Y.. Auet. 2 Miss Elsie Green, of Savannah, Ga., and Porter Parish, of Mem phis. Tenn., were run down in a skiff about 40 rods of the Chau tauqua pier on Lake Chautauqua late this afternoon bv the st, Chadokoin and both were drown ed. The bodiea have not been re covered. The captain of the steam er says none of the crew saw the boat and the first they knew of the accident was when they heard the girl scream. In an accounting just published and said to cover the last day of last June the number of nnnlo trees in the United States is plac- ea m zuiy- y,b4z. Missouri leads the list of States and Territories with 20,040,399 Jrees, while New York is seconoTwith 15,054,832. Because his sweetheart had gone to a dance with his rival, John Nerburg, a young farmer, waylaid the two near LaUrosse, Wis., and probably fatally, wounded the girl and seriously injured her escort.

C, News. Mr. John Woo'd, of Greenville, who was reported lust week us having come into a vast fortune through au English estate, stated yesterday that much to iis regret he was obliged to deny the rumor. He is entirely at a loss to discover how the story started. Mr. Wood said, however, that he appreciated greatly the maDy, congratulations he had received and wished that they could have had more sub stantial grounds. ."This thing of being a million aire," Mr. Wood said, "is elegant. It is refreshing, invigorating and a bit intoxicating. I have always heard that people in the seventh figure class, in which the Roanoke, Va.i paper placed me, were both ered with ail sorts of problems. I did not find it so. I had all the sensations without the worry of having to care for a single cent. For twenty-four hours before the balloon came down, I experienced all the joys of a philanthropist, a humanitarian, a Uarnegie, a man of public spirit, a financier. I built orphanages, endowed colleg es, owned baseball teams, erected new hotels, paid the dues of those who could not afford to join the board of trade, contributed to charitable organizations and bought a string of newspapers. The lady in Pennsylvania who wrote me for aid in publishing her book of poems, and setting the words to music was started on the golden road to fortune and to fame. The Greenville horse show was to be a gigantic exhibition under roof. Main street was to be paved in Wood blocks. The new bridge over Reedy river was to be of steel, symbolical of the lasting fibre of the Wood love for Green ville. In short, the dream was elastic to a degree. " "And, now! The end has come. The bubble has burst. The man who said the lady told him I had inherited this fortune says he never said it and thus the sory ends. But, it was fine while it lasted. And now, as my ancestry have been brought into this pre dicament, I feel that I shouhl add that they, as far as I know, never did any one harm intentionally and that they were exceedingly careful as to leaving fortunes. They, however, would have scorn ed to refuse anything they could honestly acquire and I have no hesitancy in declaring that I have inherited that trait to a marked extent. "None would more cheerfully assume the worries of the haunted mill ionaire if called upon to do so in a bona fide manner. And in con clusion, since you have asked for a full and honest expression, please say that those who wish replies to letters of congratulation or condolence, should enclose postage. Een millionaires are unable to induce the Postofiice Department to accept newspaper stories for stamps. And, as the curtain falls to slow music, allow me to say that I have reallv en- jo3'ed the experience and that public opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, wind pudding i palatable."

Or they use very small quantities. v That such unscientific use of fertili zers has proved profitable indi cates vhat it can accomplish for wheat grow ers if .used liliS Kiore carefully and intelli gently.
