The traveler of today, unless he Is going to Tibet of Tlerra del Fuego. can get along very well with a knowl edge or the English language. The further he pees the more he la sur prised at finding that English is real ly "the" world tongue. In France and 8paln and Italy the American traveler ia craftily "spotted." He is Approached on the streets by thoee ** who would, for a consideration, idake ? him feel quke at home. One of his chief worries is to escape the pests who can speak English and who wish to apprise him of the fact. They ha ay not necessarily desire to mulct him. 'Sometimes .they are seeking merely "show off." At any rate they claas Ify distinctly aa bores. One may go to 8myrna or Conatantinople or Bey rout and atlU find the atreets plenti fully full of Engliah. He may pene trate even to bamascus. and he will find at least a befessed hall porter who can convene glibly with htm, and any number of fluently willing dfagomans. He may go to Cairo, and in the shadow of the pyramlda he will find blue/ gowned Bedouins speaking more tha^ passable Eng lish. He may go Buadreds of miles up the Nile, and may be steered through the lock* ot the first cataract by frlasly haired Nubian boatmen who make Insistent demsnds for hackahlsh In very Intelligible terms.

Car oline N. Francla waa dead. The end came thla morning at the Fowle Me morial Hoepltal at S:45 o'clock. In the 84th rear ot her age. Several weeks ago Mr*. Francis met vlth the misfortune to fall at the home of her brother, Mr. W. P. Randolph, break ing her thigh, from the effects of which she never recovered. Immediately after the accident she waa takes to the hoepltal for treat ment. where everything was done by loving friends and the skilled phy sician. While her death was sudden It waa not unexpected. | The deceaahd was a native of the I State of New Jersey, and was a sister of Mr. William R. Randolph, of this ;?Uy, where she haa been making her home since laat winter. She was a consistent member of the Methodist Church. When the new Methodist Chureh here was erected about ten | years ago Mrs. Francla gave the com munion tabic which now graces the altar. It will ever stand as a monu ment to her love and devotion to the cause of her Master. Her life was a living epistle, known and read of all men ? ?n open book. Truly It can be said of her "She hath done what she could." The deceased was universally beloved and admired. The funeral will take place at the residence of her brother. Mr. W. P. Randolph/ tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. M. T- Ply ler, pastor of the First Methodist Church. The Interment will be In Oakdale Cepietery. The following are the pallbearers: T. E. Cutler, Edward Mallioon. J. F. Thomas. Charles Wahab, J. B. La tham and Walter Credle. 1 BIG SHIPMENT. Russ Bros, have received a big ship ment of Victor goods, the 'most com plete line in the South. They now have a Victrola on exhibition, the world's greatest Instrument. The Victor is the whole show and you are the manager. So what is the use of going to a theater when you can bring the theater In your own home? That is the question the vis itors are asking themselves today aa they leave the store. And it's a na tural one, too. Where, for instance, eould you go to hear, all at one time such- artists aa Caruso, Scoti, Van Rooy, 'Plancon, Journet, Mattio "Bal tistln 1 , Nicola Zerola, Dalm^rse, An co.na, Gilbert, Sembrlch, Mme. Cay, Melbra, Farrah, Tetrazzini, Eames, Gasdki, Calve. Adelina Pattl, Emmy Destlnn, Abbott. Schumann-Heink, Homes, Maud Powell, violinists, all operatic stars of the first magnitude. Or such musical talent as Pryors and Sousa's band, Victor orchestra and the Vienna Instrumental Quartette. Or such delineators of popular hits as Murry, Sadler, Blanch Ring, Man uel Romaln, Tally, Ada Jones, Col lins and Harlem. It is simply amazing the wealth of selections and standard of talent, that the Victor lial* presents. Everybody ? rich or poor, grave or gay ? can find something In the Victor list to suit their taste. Operatic numbers, popular senti mental -'hilt," the latmt "rag" melo dies. sacred selections, all-in solos, duets and quartettes -? vaudeville sketches and Instrumental gems of .various kinds are there in splendid conception to appeal to the most dis criminating. FOR A BIO CORN CROP. South Carolina farmers have adopt ed the slcytan: "Fifty million bush els of corn for 1910*" The Green ville News says thla Is not a radical eatlmate. f Jkst year's crop amounted to 37.000,000 bushels, snd with the greatly Increaaed Interest In this crop the additional 13.000,000 can easily be assured. Commissioner of Agri culture Watson believes that the larger figures will be reached. What sre North Carolina farmers going to do along the same line* Are they going to let their neighbors across the line surpass them In this most Important fanning feature? If South Carolina farmers can Increase their crop 18,000,000 bushel* over lsst year's cannot the North Carolina far mers do at least equally well? They ihoul4 not be content with doing this, but should make every effort to sur pass It. Every extra bushel of com harvested In this 8*ate next fall means keeping so much money at home and thereby adding that kmount to the State's wealth. South Carolina's extra 13.000,000 bushels of com will mean not far from |13. 000,000 added to the capital of the men who produced them Instead of, draining tpe State to swell the hank accounts of the Western eon grow era. If thf farmers would look at the matter Jp this way ? and It la the correct way ? thev would be more ea thuslaatic over the subject of a bora per com crop for the State. i, ?

To the Democratic Voters of Beau fort County: Mr. A. Daniel, In a letter pub lished In the Washington Progress and the Dally News, more or less strongly dwells at some length upon a statement made by Mr. Norwood L. Simmons, lr. his letter uinounclng his candidacy for the sollcltorshlp. The statement referred to was as follows: "1 was born and raised In Beau fort county. I have cast my lot with her people, and her Interests will al ways be endeared to me." This is a frank, manly assertion of a simple fact, and neither by direc tion nor indirection nor by any twist ing or turning can it be construed to the disadvantage or prejudice of his friendly competitor in the race for the 8ollcitor8hlp. To do so would be a reflection cn the Intelligence of the honest Democratic yeomanry of Beau fort county. There Is no crime in birth or birth place; both are accidents ? sometimes fortunate and sometime otherwise. Let up hope that they may not prove disadvantageous to either candidate by stirring up sectionalism and fac tionalism in local Democratic ranks. Nor is the young manhood of the two rival candidates to be considered a drawback to either when coupled with the character, qualities and ex perience which eminently . qualify both of them for the Bolicitorship. Their candidacy is an open, fair, free field, and they entered It in the spirit of honorahle, friendly rivalry ? and let the best man win through the peo ule'a choice. There should be no indulgence it personalities or any seeming bitter ness In tils campaign- -nor any news paper controversy between the rlva candidates ? all should be peace, har mony and good will. 'Knowing Mr Simmons personally and in a buslnQsi way as well as I do. and appreciatini his high character as a man. lawyer citizen, and Democrat. I and others who know him. are more than sun that he would withdraw from the rac? before he would countenance, in th< slightest way, the use of any but hon orabl* and manly methods to secun his nomination. In this connection It may be well t< state, from my own personal knowl edge, so there can be no posslbllltj of misapprehension upon the part oi Aha ? public that there are certalr phases of the campaign out of whlct: capital has been attempted to b< made to the prejudice of Mr. Sim mons. Notably the candidacy of Mr W. M. Bond. Jr. It was whispered around tMt.Mr. Simmons was mere ly running In Mr. Bond's Interest, and later would transfer his following tc the latter. On the face of It, this wai preposterous, for no one, no mattei how popular he may be. can carry the votes of Beaufort county In his pock et, besides Mr. Bond has withdrawn from the canvass, which proved thli was false. Again, at the recent meeting at the courthouse. It was rumored that ev ery lawyer In Washington went be fore the grand Jury to Indict the com missioners. This I am reliably In formed Is not true, for neither Mr. Simmons nor Mr. Daniel appeared be fore the jury In question, but on the contrary, both took positive stan
