The KM You Hate Always Bought Bears te Signature of Local Self-Government. The way to have good and safe government is not to trust-it all to one; but to divide it among many, distributing to every- one exactly the functions he is com petent to perform. Let the na tional government be entrusted with the defense of the nation and its foreign and Federal rela tions; the State government with the civil rights, laws, police and adminstration of what concerns the State generally; the counties with the local concerns of the counties, and each ward direct the interest within itself. It is by dividing and subdividing these republics, from the great na tional one down through all its subordinations of every man's farm and affairs by himself; by placing under every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best. Thomas Jefferson. A Pony Sentinel. During one of General Custer's Indian campaigns he had a boy bugler with him who was mount ed on a circus pony he had picked up somewhere. The animal was not only full of tricks but he him self a better sentinel than any of the soldiers. Three times in four months he saved the camp from a night attack when no one sus pected that danger was near. Upon one occasion the pony7 who was loose and walking about camp, discovered a sentinel asleep on his post. That was wrong, and the animal knew it was, and he gave the soldier such a bite on the arm as caused him to yell out and arouse the whole camp. Pony and boy both died in Cus ter's last battle. The pony had twelve arrows in his body when found. Ex.

The Anti-Prohibition forces of the State held a conference at Weldon last week at which were present representatives of the liquor interests from Wilming ton, Salisbury, and Raleigh, and from Halifax, Warren and North am pton counties. The actions taken in this convention have not been given to the public. The liquor forces of the State appear to be well equipped with funds. Their literature bureau is dis tributing letters, circulars, and Clippings from the Charlotte Ob server broadcast all over the State. Roanoke-Chowan Times. Mrs. S. Joyce, 180 Sullivan St., Ularemont, N. H., writes: "About a year ago I bought two bottles of Foley's Kidney Curt.

An extraordinary addition has been made to the exhibition of inventions now being held in Berlin.

Liquor Forces Give Grossest In sult to Farmers Ever Offered Them By Men or Devils. To the Editor: Will youjbe so kind as to allow an old gray haired farmer, who has toiled in summer's heat and winter's cold, to resent the damnable insult heaped upon them by the whis key gang in the State? The gross insult is enough to make the old farmer buckle on the sword to defend himself against the live and wicked infamy heaped upon him. Listen, farmers, all over North Carolina, and hear -them say: "We have used the negro to stand by whiskey and save it in every election, but while we haven't got the negro any longer we have got the farmer, and we are banking on him in ; every place. Who among us ever dreamed in the darkest period of our his-! tory' that the farmers of North Carolina would ever be so gross ly insulted by men or devils? It is enough to wake up the dead, much less arouse the fiery in dignation of the living. We know that the farmers, like all other classes, have black sheep in their flocks, like all other professions, but as a class, so far as patriot ism, honest, sobriety and integ rity is concerned, they will com pare favorably with any other class of our people. In 1861, when the trump of war sounded, all over the South the farmers, young and old, rushed from their homes to defend Southern rights beneath the stars and bars, and as many farmers as merchants and others are sleeping on the battlefields of Virginia and eleswhere. And in dark days of carpet-bags and re construction, the farmers were in the proud ranks of those gal lant patriots who delivered us from the horrible pit and miry clay. And it is now too late in the j day for public insult to be offered to the best class of citizens. The farmers may not be dress ed in Prince Alberts and have silk "beavers on their heads and kid gloves upon their hands. They may not have college diplo mas or much- bank stock, but when it comes to doing right and fighting wrong, they are just as honest and patriotic as the city folks. It is said that whom the gods propose to destroy they first make mad, and this applies to the whiskey man or men who made this sabre thrust upon the inno cent farmer. Some of us do like a drink sometimes and have it shipped in white jugs to our homes from Wilmington and Vir ginia, but this does not prove that we are dirty devils like the nig ger to be used as mere machines by the political demagogues and whiskey men. 'We can't use the nigger any longer," but we can use the farm er to help us to put in a grave without a hope of a resurrection the vile whiskey slanderers who so grossly insult us and our homes. We must not accept any apology for this insult, but dig graves wide and deep to put these fellows in. The good old book speaks of the unpardonable sin, and the whiskey men have cer tainly, so far as farmers are con cerned, committed the great and unpardonable sin in insulting the farmers. Whiskey men, if you are de pending on the rural districts, you are in full pursuit of a vain hope. Mr. Editor, the whiskey men down here, ars as silent as the graver but they are working like beavers, and they are putting out lots of money to buy votes, and you are going to hear from them just before the election. They all ought to be spotted and their names published to the whole world, so that the generations yet unborn may know the names of the Judas Iscariots and Bene dict Arnolds who are employed with whiskey money to blast our homes and ruin our children. The fight is on, and let us bury the enemy in the last ditch. I can 'twrite much, but I can tjhinl world without end. Araen- So help me God, and keep me stead fast m the same. J. Williams, in- jNews and Observer, ApriM2th. THF "MERRY WIDOW." You know that "Merry Widow" don't you? v If you should chance to meet her, lust step aside and let her pass, Don't even stop to greet her. She's dressed in yellow, black and blue; I tell you she's a hummer. Have patience with her, she's only here To spend just this, one summer. She's on hand most everywhere, -At church you'll always find her. But if you want to see or hear Be sure don't sit behind her. The boys alas, don't like her much, I don't know why they won't, For she's a dear and winsome thing, Its just because they don't. T. HE STOPPED HiS PAPER. Because Something That Was In it Didn't Please Him. Some time ago a cranky sort of an old man came into tms omce and stopped his paper because something in it did not just suit his fancy. We have met him several times since on th& street and it is interesting to see the surprised look on the old fellow's face that we are still in existence regardless of the fact that he stopped his paper. Some day and that will net be long either that old gentleman will turn up his toes. Neighbors and friends will follow his lifeless clay to the silent city and lay it among the flowers. An obituary will be pub lished in these columns telling what a good neighbor and be loved citizen he was, which the recording angel will overlook for charity's sake, and in a short time he will be forgotten. As he lies out there in the cold, cold ground, wrapped in the silent slumber of death, he will never know the last kind word spoken of him by-the editor of the paper which in life he so spitefully "stopped. " Did you ever pause, reader, just for a moment and think that the editor of your paper, whoever he may be, will write your obituary some day? If the writing of the obituaries of that class who never have a 1 1 -1 J A 1 kind word to say, nor the price of a subscription for their home paper, was all, many editors would feel that the burdens of life were light. Snow Hill Laconic-Standard. King Cotton. The South is producing an av erage of about twelve million bales of cotton a year. The time is rapidly coming when this must be increased to twenty million bales or more to meet the world's requirements. The gain in con sumption will require an average of half a million bales a year. At this gain it would require but ten years to make it necessary for the South to raise seventeen mil lion or eighteen million bales an nually. There is no reason why the world will not eventually need forty million or fifty million bales or more of Southern-grown cot ton; and with good prices and an increase in the labor supply, even this would not be the limit of the South's ability. The practical monopoly of cot ton production is a potential pow er for the South as great as would be an equally strong dom ination of the world's iron-ore supply. Sooner or later, when this sec tion fully comprehends this great power, it will make the world pay tribute to its coffers, just as would England or any other country which owned , the world's iron ores. By reason of, this condition cotton-growers ought to be the most prosperous farmers in the world, and in time they doubtless will be. R. H. Edmonds, in The Youth's Companion.

It leaves upon the mind a whole-. some impression of growth in statesmanship to hear a Southern Senator like Simmons, of North Carolina, ably advocating ' an ocean subsidy for the mails" and the merchant marine .for our Pacific coast, and to hear other Southern Senators, like Bacon, of Georgia, interspersing their argument with keen and intelli gent comment. The South, which clamors eag erly so tremendous in this policy has been heretofore especially handicapped in its consideration by the leadership of blind and virulent partisans. The South, which clamors eag erly for the vast subsidy which the government pays to the fast mail service running South from Washington, has been led in time past to denounce bitterly the en couragement which the govern ment: might give to vessels car rying the mails and developing commerce from the ports and coasts of other sections of the country. This absolute inconsistency of attitude is unworthy of a great section which has been so prolific in time past of the highest and most honest statesmanship. It suggests, then, a return to the larger andjnore independent statesmanship of the South when a Senator from the Carolina, rising above the traditional pre judices of party and section, frankly and ably champions a , broad national policy which looks clearly to the welfare and growth of interests common to all the States. " We welcome the sanity and in dependancy of Senator Simmons' speech on the ocean mail service, and we hail it as a sign of the in creasing liberty and individuality which is coming to the Southern . . people in their political life. For now, if ever in their his tory, these gulf and southeastern States need independence intheir political policies and alignments. New York American. The Biggest Man Ever. "I'll bet none of you folks know that the biggest man that ever lived was born and raised in North Carolina," said a Tar Heel at the Hoffman House the other night. "His existence and dimensions are vouched for in the American Encyclopaedia, says the New York Press. "His name was Miles Darden. He was seven feet, six inches high and in 1845 weighed 871 pounds. He was born in North Carolina in 1798 and died in Tennessee, January 23, 1859. Until 1853 he was able to go about his work in active manner, but his weight in creased so fast that year when he wanted to move about he had to be hauled in a two-horse wag on. In 1839 it was chronicled that his coat was buttoned around three men each weighing more than 200 pounds, who walked to gether down the streets of Lex--ington, N. C. At his death he is said to have weighed not less than 1,000 pounds. His coffin was 8 feet long, 35 inches deep, 32 inches across the breast, 18 across the head, and 14 across the feet. The measurements were taken at the time and are,, matters of historical record." Washington Herald. A contemporary wonders what Jefferson would say if he were to appear again on terra firma. It is doubtful if he would say any thing for a while. He would be lost in thought. An automobile would cause him considerable surprise and an express train at full speed would surprise him more than, anything he saw in Europe, while the Atlantic cable, the telephone and the Muare tania crossing the Atlantic in five days, would complete his aston ishment, that is, provided he is not familiar from observation, with the little things that take j place on earth. !i J: 1 - f 1 l Mi .1 i A i I 1 N t !
