II. A. IXUVDOX, Editor. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1912 The death of Rev. William Booth last week deserve3 more than a passing: notice. He is more generally known as "Gen eral" Booth, but his title was not won by bloody battles dealing death and destruction, but he was the commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, whose glory was the salvation of souls and the betterment of mankind. JProb ably no man in the past forty years has accomplished so much good among his fellowmen. In the year 1865 he organized in London the "Christian Mis sion" on a military ba3is and a few years thereafter gave it the name of the "Salvation Army," by which name it has ever since been known. It has its posts or local organizations in every, civil ized country, all directed by Gen eral Booth from his headquarters at London. It is said that dur ing the past ten years more than two million persons have, been converted from sin by the Salva tion Army, and these converts generally were from among the outcasts and lowest dregs of hu manity. So highly was General Booth esteemed by the most distin guished men of every country that when his death was an nounced telegrams of sympathy were sent to" his family by the King of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the President of the United States and by many otheis of the world's most prom inent officials. He will be buried tomorrow with most impressive ceremonies and distinguished honors. Next Monday is a legal holiday in this State and in most of the States of the Union, and is known as "Labor-Day." In the large cities the day is observed by the labor unions with parades and imposing exercises, and instead rSoinor n rtatr nf rpst far th o 1q boring man it is generally a day of unusual fatigue. In this connection it may be of some information to many of our readers for us to state what are the legal holidays in this State. They are the 1st of January, the 19th of January, the 22nd of Feb ruary, the 12th of April, the 10th of May, the 20th of May, the 4th of July, the first Monda y in Sep tember, Tuesday after the first Monday in November when a general election is held, the day . appointed by the Governor as a thanksgiving day, and the 25th of December. So it thus will be seen that holidays are quite nu merous in this State. Congress finally adjourned last Monday afternoon after one of the longest sessions ever held. An adjournment was expected last Saturday but a deadlock en sued, caused by two senators fili bustering and demanding a quo rum, which could not be obtained because so many senators and representatives had gone home. Congress was in continuous ses sion all Saturday night and until mid-day Sunday without trans acting any business. The Democratic House of Rep resentatives did its full duty in trying to revise and reduce our oppressive tariff laws, but Presi -dent Taft vetoed every bill that was passed for that purpose. The issue is now" made plain for the voters of this country to de cide next November whether they wish a reduction in the tariff du ties on the most necessary arti cles used by. them. So little has been said about our candidate for Vice-President that we publish on this page a sketch of him and his services as Governor of Indiana and also pictures of him and his wife. Our readers can thus see what a great man he is and how worthy he is to be the running mate of Gov. Wilson. At last Congress has passed a parcels-post act that has long been demanded by many persons, especially in the rural sections. Under this law an eleven-pound package can be sent in the mail a distance of fifty miles for 35 cents, or 150 miles for 46 cents, or from New York to San Fran cisco for $1. 32. r : ' : After a most sensational and exciting campaign the Democrats of South Carolina held their pri mary yesterday, and the vote for governor was so close (there be ing three candidates) that a sec ond primary will be held. We regret to note that the foul-mouthed demagogue B lease was i slightly in the lead over Judge .Jones for the nomination for gov ernor. The "Life and Speeches of Charles B. Ay cock" is the title of a -neatly printed volume just issued that should ' be read by every North Carolinian, contain ing as it does matter that is not only deeply interesting but will serve to stimulate the youth of our State to emulate the example of our great educational Gover nor. Send $1.50 to the Tar Heel Company at Raleigh and get a copy. Card of Chairman Hayes. To the Voters of Chatham coun ty: We start into this campaign with the fairest promises for Democratic success. Our prim aries and conventions have pass ed off quietly, without the sug gestion of fraucl or unfairness even by the disappointed candi dates, and there must always be disappointed candidates in a par ty that is in a healthy condition and which carries the election. There is no reason for the least dissatisfaction or coldness in our ranks. Some have feared that the senatorial primary might bring some confusion and bitter ness among our people; but sure ly the Democrats of Chatham know too well how hard earned have been our victories here to permit this. All three of the distinguished gentlemen aspiring to the high office of United States Senator have friends in the coun ty, and it is well. They will each get their respective strength. The State committee will pro vide rules that the friends of each candidate at each voting place may select one pollholder out of his supporters. Notice of the meeting of the county board of elections has already been published notifying the public to send in names of their choice for the various election officers. While I have a very pronounced choice- for the U. S. Senate, which I have frankly stated at all times, and while, before my selection' as county chairman, I aided him in the dissemination of his literature, immediately upon my selection by the Demo cratic executive committee of the county as its chairman, feeling chat the duties and responsibili ties of this important position would be incompatible with the duties of a campaign manager for any one man, I immediately ceased and declined to even open any package of literature that came to me afterwards, all of which together with that which was in mv office has been turned over to Mr. J. F. Milliken at Si ler City, who is a friend of Mr. Simmons. All the candidates will have equal handed justice done them on election day, so far as in my power lies. I wish to emphasize these statements in view of cer tain reports which I hear are be ing circulated, either by men who want to misrepresent or else who do not know what they are talking about, and I hope that this statement will set at rest all such rumors. We must win this fight and we can do it easily by simply stand ing together and supporting the ticket which our party, in its wisdom and in convention as sembled, has seen proper to nom inate. We know for what we stand while our friends, the Re publican party, is thoroughly at sea, is fast losing its identity as a party and will find it diffi cult to find one who will tell you that he stands for his regular na tional nominee. It now looks doubtful if they can even name a ticket which they can ask the regular Republicans to support. While we can beat the Republi can party as we have been do ing, even if they were fully uni ted and if they were in harmony with their national ticket, surely we will make a record breaking victory when we remember that to our own strength is added that of their weakness. Gov. Wilson, it now appears, will undoubtedly be elected President, and Chat ham must be able to say that she stands in the column of the great party that will make him such and thus be able to enjoy her sare of the fruits of victory. Let's lay aside all prejudices and any dislikes we may have and put our shoulders to the wheel and I will try to render you the same service for the good of the party that I have done in' the years gone when the outlook was darker and the road was harder. I want the active support of every Democrat in the county, and I shall expect it to help win the battle. Yours for success, R. H. HAYES, Chairman Democratic County Ex ecutive Committee. , , - - - - ! The Rural Telephone and Its Abuse?. Editor of The Record: " ' . It has not been very long since only those people who lived in the city were afforded the oppor tunity and convenience of a tele phone, but, thanks to the ever, increase of prosperous farmers, J they have at last been admitted into our country homes, and to stay. We are glad to note the con tinual increase of rural telephone construction in all parts of the country, for it is one way in which the farmer bespeaks his prosperity, and surely our farm ers are waking up to a realiza tion of their opportunities, ever willing to show their desire to stay abreast and keep pace with the times. Those who have never lived in a country traversed by rural tel ephones know of the many pleas ures, also the many worries, of the country telephone operation as it is today. It is this last (the worry) of the present rural tele phone system that I wish to talk, and be it far from me to ridicule the farmer for what he has done. Shame also on anyone who would make light of a farmer because he is such; but there comes a time when it behooves someone to say something in regard to certain erring faults of mankind which he is seemingly unaware of or allows to continue, at least, when it should not. This erring to which I refer is due in great part to the fact that there are scarcely any rules or regulations regarding the use of that truly wonderful instrument called the telephone. Another reason is that people are prone to realize what such an instru ment really is. In the eyes of many of our country people, and some of the city ones as for that matter, it is a toy, a plaything and a something into which one may laugh and the whole world laughs. It is electric and some thing new, which in part may account for the ignorant use of the same since we have not been educated along such lines. It acts as a thriller and has almost the same effect as hypnotism. The time has come, is even here, when something must be done in order that rural telephon ism may not go down in disgrace, for there comes the cry from all part3of the country traversed bv telephones for better system and regulations, and yet, notwith standing this clamor, the condi tion grows worse daily and hourly. Reckon yourself living in a com munity where there are tele phones and something happens that you must call a coroner or doctor at once. You lift the re ceiver and listen. Along the line there are four or five young peo ple and some older ones unwind ing twenty-five inches a minute off a million-yard reel of frivol ous flirtation. Don't hesitate, but ask them at once to let you use the line, as your business is important. Here now come3 a test of patience, for each of the parties concerned must have their say so before giving up the line. One will say, "Mine is too" (meaning that his business is as important as yours). Another, "Aw, don't notice him," and an other, "Say what you started to sav." Possiblv if you work per sistently enough, after four or five minutes you may have the line partially clear so that you may speak to vour man. "Is Doctor B- in?" m "No," comes the answer, "he is down at the barn." Now you set your weight on one foot and begin to take life easy while someone at the other end of the line is supposed to be finding the doctor. Perhaps he is not at the barn and several other places will have to be vis ited, consuming several minutes before he is found Ten minutes pass and you begin to get a bit impatient, shifting your weight onto the other foot,, the while your arm aches from holding the' receiver. You now hear a voice and give a little start only to find that your terrors down the line are getting impatient too. Some one asks, "Who was that man called the doctor?" The answer, "Dunno; didn't see him." Then they all laugh and laugh while you implore them to be quiet, but it is of no use, for one by one the racketers join in and the "gab" is resumed. Twenty minutes has now passed and . you promised to get the doctor in a jiffy. Faintly at last above the clamor you hear avoicesay, "Here is the doctor." Then comes the clearing from the other end of the line, and if ev erything works well it will be five minutes more, making twenty-five minutes in all that it has taken you to get him. The above is only an example, and to those who have never lived in a rural telephone district it may seem exaggerated, yet, nevertheless, it is true, only worse, and the like happens con tinually. What is true of one section is doubtless true of another, for complaint after complaint arises from all sections of the country resembling so much as they do that it seems evident that the whole of the rural telephone world is in danger of being de molished simply for the want of a little change of system and a few regulations, Appeal to men of higher 1 incentive and thought' will do us no good; therefore it re mains for us to get together and educate ourselves telephonically. Forming a3 it were a kind or or der to study ' the best ways and means to perfect our country sys tem so that we maybe enabled more to place upon the telephone it s proper title.

MRSIMS PART inHErELECTION GoYemor Marshall's Wile Has the Memorj lor Hames. ROMANCE OF THEIR LIVES The Notification of the Indiana Ex ecutive For Democratic Vice Presi dency Honors a Record Breaker. By J. C. HAMMOND, Of Democratic National Publicity Bu reau. udianapolis. Just about the time thv.t thousands of friends of Goyernor Thomas Riley Marshall were anxious ly wanting to shake his hand In con gratulation on his acceptance as can didate for vice president on the Demo cratic -ticket, a smiling woman step ped before him, and if one could have heard what she whispered in his ear it would have been something like "Now, hurry in. Tom. and change jour clothes." And Tom Marshall forgot to shake hands with the enthusiastic friends until he had carried out the orders of Mrs. Tom. Indiana has honored four of her sons as vice presidential candidates on the Democratic ticket, but the crowds that THOMAS ft. MARSHALL, greeted Governor Marshall in -the big coliseum in the state fair grounds, In dianapolis, on Tuesday were the great est in the history of the party. The west wanted to show the east! what could be done in notification, honors, and, while Mrs. Marshall was happy, of course, over the honors for her husband, she was also worried, for her husband comes mighty close to being father, husband, son and part ner all in one. And when a woman has that combination on her hands to care for she has every right to be: worried. Governor Marshall will never gain: any honors as a hammer thrower. Hi is not built that way. While all the country was reading the vigorous words of Governor Mar shall which told the voters what he expects Democracy to do in carrying out the pledges for the next four years It's worth while to know what part a woman is taking in the affairs of the campaign how Tom Marshall hap pens to be in the position in which he stands today. The good peopla of Columbia City, Ind., never thought Thomas Riley Mar shall was a "marrying man." For for ty years he had lived with Lis parents, nursing both his father and mother, who were invalids, which was the rea son Governor Marshall was not a mar rying man. He felt his first duty was to his parents. Meeting Mrs. Marshal!. After the death of his parents Gov ernor Marshall dived deeper into his law practice, and one day an urgent case took him to Angola, Ind. His du ties called him to the county clerk's of fice, and there Le met Miss Lois Kim Bey, daughter of the county clerk, who was assisting her father in the office. From that day Governor Marshall had more business around the country clerk's office in Angola than any law yer in half a dozen nearby counties. Governor Marshall was forty-two years of age when he was married, Mrs. Marshall being nearly twenty years his Junior. 1h Marshalls had been married only a few weeks when the future vice president was called to an adjoining county on a case that would, consume some five or six weeks of his time. "Now, I did not want to be starting off like that," Governor Marshall ex plained to a friend one day, "so I just told Mrs. Marshall that I thought she should go along. And' she did." Since then Governor Marshall has never made a trip "without Mrs. Mar shall going along. They have traveled all over the country together; they go to banquets and political meetings to gether until the friends of the Indiana executive refer to him and his wife as the "pards." "Tom Marshall is not overstrong explained one of his friends. "While not a delicate man, his constitution Is not of the most vigorous type. "When be gets into a political battle he forgets his weakness. He gives all that is in him, and that will tell on any man. Mrs. Marshall soon discov ered that the governor would become heated in making a speech and the next day his voice would be husky. Shp decided that he had better give up some of the handshaking and take care of his health first.- So when you find him making a speech, when he has fin ished he does not stay around to hear the applause of the audience. Rather, he hurries to his room and changes his clothing. "Some people have said that Tom Marshall is not a handshaking politi cian. He is not His wife thinks it is more important to guard his health than to carry out the old time policy, and she is correct, aa ahe ia in most au other things. 'i ".'S'"-. -:.v. j. ,' i- if' 1 J ft C it i 'V "Home Air" Prevails. Th Marshall hnmo ia tvTira nt tia mistress. It is a home of books, and j still one does not feel "bookish." One ; of the Marshall friends said he always . felt like eating when he entered tte t Marshall home in Columbia City or j the executive mansion at Indianapolis. , Mrs. Marshall believes in a home first, and the "home air" prevails. "If Governor Marshall ever occupied the White House people would not know that historic Institution," de clares an admirer. "Mrs. Marshall would have it a real home. People would feel comfortable even In the midst of the gold and glitter." But it is not only as a wife and the mistress of home that Mrs. Marshall shows her ability. She is a politician and a clever pne. She also has a re markable memory. Governor Marshall has earned the reputation of being in a class of story tellers all by himself. He can remem ber stories, but he forgets names. A name is something to be cast aside with Governor Marshall, and this is dne of the regrets of his life, if he has any regrets. The governor is not a worrying man. He is somewhat a fa talist, but If he could he would like to remember names; but, not having that ability, he does not worry, for Mrs. Marshall is the name remember er of the family. She has a peculiar ability along this line. Not only does she remember the last name, but any combination of names comes as second nature to her, and she carries this ability on down to the children and cousins of any one seeking the governor. While the governor is shaking hands and trying to remember whether his caller is Jones or Smith, Mrs. Marshall is busy supplying the information and asking about all the relatives. Ideal Partners. Governor Marshall has no brothers or sisters, and his parents being dead leaves him somewhat barren of rela tives. Governor Marshall's friends are en thusiastic over his home life. When he has started on talking of his wife a new light in the Hoosier executive cames to the surface. They come near being ideal married partners. "I was talking to Tom one day," explained one of his most intimate friends. "We were leaning back, and Tom had been telling some of his good stories to illustrate various topics of our conversation. We were waiting for Mrs. Marshall to come back from a shopping tour, and I happened to re mark that I liked Mrs. Marshall bet ter every time I met her. " 'Well, now that's the way she strikes me, Jim,' he sail, We have been married some sixteen years, and as time goes that is a long or short period, just as you think. To me it is but a fleeting day. Then I think back over my married life and find I have grown to know Mrs. Marshall better every day. A man must not only love but he must also respect his partner In this life respect her In all things She -must have wonderful qualities to make the love and respect grow deep er and better each day That's been mv history. " 'The fact that Mrs. Marshall has teen in sympathy in my work, my play, my life, is good. But I have been MRS. MARSHALL. In sympathy with hers. Ours is not a one sided life. We have been part i ei s. and that's the way it should be in this world.' " Mrs. Marshall has watched over his administration of the affairs of Indiana with a jealous care. There has been nothing of the spectacular in his ad ministration. It has been a sane gov ernment. The laws that he has fought for and won show the spirit of the man They are uplifting. They deal with the improvement of man, woman tyad child. While Governor Marshall is describ ed as a "tender hearted" executive, nevertheless, he Is a fighter He be longs to the old fighting stock of Vir giLia. Governor Marshall is not a dodger. He has his opinions, and Le lets them ha known. While he is an organization man, he knows that organizatior.s arc rot, perfect t'is.t tbey can makj mis C:ks If thej make mistaken ho thinks It is his duty to say so and get the saying over at the first possibh moment Mrs. Marshall is not satisfied with her domestic duties alone. She wants to do her share in problems of the po litical and business world. Mrs. Mar shall is said to have discussed in de tail w'ih her husband his actions on the Baltimore convention, and when it was seen thatMarshall was the man who was going to. go on the ticket with Wilson he wanted to know what his wife thought about it "It won't be any harder than being Governor of Indiana, and if the party thinks you are the man it only agrees with my opinion," she said, and that settled the matter with Governor Mar shall. Mrs. Marshall had the honor of be ing the first woman in' Indiana to hold en office. She was appointed county clerk of Steuben county by her father and held that office for a number of years. When Governor Marshall and his wife were about to be married she de cided that her last official act of the office would e to make out the mar riage license. Governor Marshall ac companied hia wife to the county mi v.rrr.s ce anTl watched "her with care as she noted the records in the big book and filled out the license and watched her as she carefullv her father's name, with her own aa deputy. Mrs. Marshall, having blotted the Ink, said, "Now we can go." "Not yet," laughed Governor Mar shall. . "Why, we are all fixed," explained Mrs. Marshall, pointing to the license. "Yes, bat I have to pay for it," re plied the governor "It's all right for you to make it tout, but it's up to me to pay the fee." And he did. - Mrs. Marshall is a keen student, and, having established the practice of going with her husband on all his trips, be they short or long, they mako It a point to carry along some bock. Mrs. Marsha-.! is as mudi of a hu manitarian as the governor. A tlanr e at some of the bills that have leu passed by the 1911 Indiana legislature gives an insight, into the governor: To curtail child labor. To regulate sale of cold storage pro ducts. To require hygienic sohoolhoiisss and medical examination of childreu. To prevent blindness at birth. To regulate sale of cocaine and oth er drugs To provide free treatment for hy drophobia. To establish public playgrounds. j To improve pure food laws. To protect against loan sharks. '; To provide police court matrons. To prevent traffic in white slaves. To permit night schools. To require medical supplies as part of a train equipment. Governor Marshall has also played an active part in providing for protec tion of labor, as is exampled by the following acts: To create a bureau of inspection for workshops, factories, mines and boilers. To establish free employment agen cies. To require full train crews. To require safety devices on switch ergines. To require efficient headlights on erigines. To require standard cabooses. To provide weekly wace, etc. And Governor Marshall has con stilted with his "partner" on all these bills. He is quoted as saying a man can't go far wrong in taking the ad vice of a wife if she Iz his partner as well as his wife. The divided Republican party Is liko the boy "blowing agains: he wind." There will be a lot of bluster, but it wDl not take votes away from Wilson and Marshall. Having exhausted his supply of ad jectives in denouncing Taft, Roosevelt is now leading a campaign of denun ciation of every one who does not agree with himself. Farmers have pulled against the short end of the' yoke long enough. Wilson and Marshall promise to see that the pulling is made mere nearly even.
