MAYO PuorniEroK CARL OOERCH Editor WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, NOV. o, 1910. Be at the court house tomorrow night and get the election returns as they are given to the Daily News over the Postal Tele-graph Com pany wirw. There's many a politician, who's making a big noise today, who'll crawl into a hole and stay in it for a mouth or two after tomorrow. At any rate, the defeattxl candidate for President will havf> the consolation of knowing that he can make a fortune if he takes to the vaudeville stage or the Chautauqua platform after tomorrow's bat tle is over. It's a good thing not to ho too positive in your election predictions. It Un't vers- nice to ran up asrainst a crowd of these "I-told-you-so" fellows on Wednesday morning. LOCAL POLITICAL FACTS. Tomorrow the* voters of Reaufort county will ca*t their votes for every office from tlie President of the I'nited Scales to Town Cou ntable. From a local standpoint, the vote in the county will n^t he mater i a 1 ! v different from what it was four year* ae\ President Wilkin will undoubtedly receive a hie majority anil ^ will Rii-kott and the other candidate for state offices. Am mr the candidates f?>r county offices, there has been some hot campaigning, hut the general belief is that the Democrats will win out. This i-- tint ?nid for the pur we of influencing any person in the caatine of his ballot. it i4 merely what wo believe to bo a statement of fa-t. Th** m?^t interesting race in local politics will he that l^otrvoen W. R. Winllov and Horace Cirler for the office of sheriff. This promises to lv? rather id vse. Some hot* have been made in Washington at even money oil the outcome . f the race for the sheriffs' office. While the county will again pro Democratic by a l ie majority, the pmeral sentiment appears to be that the Republicans will show a sub stantial increase in their vote over that < f four years ago. THE ARTICLE OX MR. SMALL. In Saturday's e^'t'on of the Daily Xews there appeared a lengthy article, criticising Congressman .Tohn II. Small's record as Repre* tentative from this district. Several readers, in speak in? of thi* article. have remarked that thev were surprised r1 at the paper all*o;v.?d it t. ? he published. They appeared to think ilia? publication should have lnM?n refused. No paper could v.-rv w#?!l have due that. A newspaper is sup posed to bo the mean^ of expres^ine th* oninions of everyone '-n any ma*ter they desire to discuss. A publisher i* r.ot neee=sarilv obliged to publish every thine that 5* sent in f>?r publication. but when payment is offered for the article, it run* a- an a Iverf i -?nnem and must there fore be given f?pace. This is especially rue of political matter. We could no more have refused to publish the article that appeared in the paper Saturday than we could refuse to a^eept the advertisement of on? Washington merchant and that of another. The publishing of these articles under the label, "advertisement,'' should not be taken, however, as an indication that the paper approves of the sentiments that are expressed. Many times the management of n paper may hold just the opposite views but he cannot give this fn^t a* a reason for refusing publication to those articles which do not meet with hi? approval. A LITTLE CONSIDERATION*. Th* roads in the county are being improve! to a considerable ex tent and it naturally follows that vehicles arc enabled to prr>ceed with r greater amount of ;>peed. This is no reason. however. why automo bi lists should make a rai*e track out of the roads and drive? alone at breakneck speed through the country. ,\\? one care* much whether they break their own necks, bur there are other people to be consid ered. It is rather annoying. to mv the least. f..r a person to }>e walking along a dusty road, hear the "honk-honk" . .f an auto and then be en veloped in a cloud of dujfc as the car goes tearing by. It is equally annoying to be driving slowly along in a horse and l>n,riry and then have to cough and chokc for five or ten minute?* .i slow down his car a little when he is approaching a ji" le-trian or an other vehicle. And if ho would really lik?- t.. find out the truth al?ont this, let him get an old horse and buggy .itid go out for a drive m some dusty day. The fellow who can't afFord an automobile iuid has' to drive a horse and buggy or walk, ha* just as much right, to th< road as the owner of a high-powered ear. The latter should u?e a little consideration ami nhould have some reirarl f-*r the feeling of the other class. In other words, it's anotht r ease where the Golden ? Role works in nicely. A RIGGER FAIR TITAN EVER. 1 Word comes from Aurora that, the people r?f that serf ion are going^ to "show something'* in the way *?f a fair this yar. The bit? event' will take place next week and. jmlgint? from reports, it is going to eclipse anything that lias ever been held in Reaiifort county. Many exhibits have already b"?n received in nil departments. The livostrx-k anrl crop exhibits, it is reported, will l?e c* peri ally large. The ladies are also preparing nn exhibit of needlework, preserves, etc.. that will lie of a far better quality and far larger quantity than those of past years. Every visitor at the fnir will }#? assured of a cordial welcome. The citizens of every part of Reaufort countv should make up their minds to be present at least, during one day. They will not regret it and their presence will he an encouragement for the people of Aurora to THAT BOTH you. ANT) YOUR family. WILL COME down. TO THE Aurora fair. NEXT WEEK. AND IF you do.
