r 3 -t RASDOLPI BTOLLIffl. VOL. V. A HOT POLITICAL FIGHT State Democracy to be Divided Into Two Hostile Camps Each Contending For The Mastery. That North Carolina Democra cy is a seething, hissing mass of internal dissensions can readily be seen by the most casual ob server. However when such authority as "Red Buck," the Charlotte Observer's Washing ton correspondent "writes up" the" situation, the public may be :gin to sit up and take notice. As to the trouble now brewing, the correspondent under date of Aug. 8th says in part: "That there is to be at least two bitter political contests in North Carolina within the next four years no man with ordinary knowledge of State affairs will deny, lhe news to the effect that Judge William R. Allen, of the Superior Court bench, will contest the nomination of Judge James S. Manning, of the Su preme Court, in the State con vention next year is not surpris ing. Interest in this promised contest is already manifesting itself. The friends of Governor Kitchin, who appointed Judge Manning to succeed Judge Henry C. Conner, want to'see his man 'win, while Judge Allen will most likely have the support of the leaders o f the old Simmons or ganization. This controversy, when well on, will be interesting. Two years later, if the signs battle royal will take place be tween Senator Simmons and tGorernor Kitchin for the for Jrnr's seat in Congress. Every :tMng points that way at the present time. Therefore any thing pertaining to State and party affairs that either of these gentlemen says, will be read and pondered with interest. Just before the extra session of Con gress adjourned Senator Sim mons made a remarkable speech, setting forth vigorously, clearly and concisely his views on the Aldrich-Payne tariff, taking the Republicans to task for discrimi nating against the South, the esonsumer and raw material, and 'orivtng what he believed to be the doctrine of the Democratic party on the subject. It is safe to predict that the "utterances of Mr. Simmons in this speech will rise to help or hinder him in his race for re election. His friends say that he is willing to stand or fall on his true record, on the tariff, when it is understood." Lawyers stand up in the court house before jurors, in the pres ence of large audiences, and de nounce men as liars, scoundrels, thieves, and purjured villain?, and when court adjourns the men appear to harbor no ill will against them. But let a news paper faintly intimate that a men,s character is blemished, he has to confront a horse pistol, stand a libel suit, or suffer what the people claim to be the great est of all mortifications lose a subscriber.

MOTHER. (O. S. Merden, in Success.) "All that I am or hope to be," said Lincoln, after he had become President, "I owe to my angel mother." "My mother was the making of me," said Thomas Edison, re cently. "She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt that I had some one to live for; some one I must not disappoint." "All that I have ever accom plished in life," declared D wight t i. i.1 if r I i owe u my muwier. -. -n to tne man wno nas nad a mother, all women are sacred for her sake," said Jean Paul Rich? ter. . w The testimony of great men ifrf acknowledgement of the bounds less debt they owe to their mo thers would make a record stretch' ing from the dawn of history r t6 today. Few men, indeed, Bet come great who do not owe their greatness to a mother's love and inspiration. How of ten we hear people in every waiK 01 me say, i never could have done this thing :$ut for my mother. She believed in me, encouraged me, when otfiers saw nothing in me." .V "A kiss from my mother inade me a painter," said Benjamin West. f A dist;nguished man of tdday says: "I never could have reach ed my present position had I not known that my mother expected me to reach it. From a child she made me feel that this was the position she expects me to fill; and her faith apurred me on and gave me the power to attain it." It is a strange fact that our mo thers, the molders of the world, should get so little credit and should be so seldom mentioned among the world's achievers. The world sees only the success ful son; the mother is but around in the ladder upon which )ie has climbed. Her name or j face is never seen in the papers; only her son is lauded and held up to our admiration. Yet it Was that sweet, pathetic figure in the back ground that made his success possible. Many a man is enjoying a fame which is really due to a self-effa- cmg, sacrincing mother. People hurrah for the governor, or may or, or congressman, but the real secret of his success is often tucked away in that little un known, unappreciated unherald ed mother. His education and his chance to rise niay have been due to her sacrifices. The very atmosphere that ra diates from and surrounds the mother is the inspiration and con stitutes the holy of holies of fam ily life. In my mother's presence," said a prominent man, "I become for the time transformed into an other person." How many of us have felt the truth of his statement! How ashamed we feel when we meet her eyes, that we have ever har bored an unholy thought, or dis honorable suggestion! It seems impossible to do wrong while un der that magic influence. What revengeful plans, what thought, of hatred and jealousy, have been scattered to the four winds while in the mother's presence! Her children go out from communion with her resolved to be better men, npblei? wpnfen, truer citi zens. . , The greatest heroine in the Wr)4 is the mother. No one else majces such sacrifices, or en sures anything like the sufferings that she uncompjajnjflgly endures for her children; ASHEBORO, N. C.THURSDAY, AUGUST 9l know a mother who has nfbuerht up a large family of children under conditions which, f believe, no man living could possibly have survived. She had a lazy, worthless husband, with ho ambition, no force of charac ter; a man extremely selfish and exacting, who not only did prac tically nothing to help his wife arry ner terriDie uuruen, duc i , ;L1- 1 J 1, a also insisted upon her waiting upon him by inches. Thev were both too poor to afford a servant, and the good Lfor nothiner husband would not lift a finger to help his wife if he could avoid it; yet he was cross, crabbed, and abusive if meals were not on time, and if they were lacking in any respect, or if the children annoyed him or interfered with his comfort. Al though the mother worked like a slave to keep her little family to gether and to make a living for them, her husband would never . I I'm i 1 1 t even iook alter tne cnnaren while she was working, if he could sneak out of it. When the children were sick, he would re tire without the slightest con cern, and leave the jaded mother, who had worked all day like a galley slave, to nurse them. This man never seemed to think that his wife needed much sleep or rest, a vacation, holiday, or any charge; he seldom took her any where, and wras never known to bring her home a flower or a nickel's worth of anything. He thought that anything was good enough for his wife. She made her clothes over and over again, until they were worn out, but he always had to have a natty suit, which his wife must keep- press ed. He insisted upon having his tobacco and toddy, and would al ways take the best of everything for himself, no matter who else went without. Yet, in spite of the never-ending drudgery, the lack of com forts and conveniences in her home, and the fact that her health was never good; no mat ter how much her rest was bro ken by attendance upon the sick children, or how ill she might be, this woman never complained. She was always cheerful, always ready to give a helping hand and encouraging word, even to her ungrateful husband. Calm, pa tient, and reassuring, she never failed to furnish the balm for the hurts of her family. This wom an saw her beauty fade, and the ugly lines of care, anxiety, and suffering come into her face. She saw no prospect of relief from care for herself in the fu ture; nothing but increasing pov erty, homelessness, and not a cent in the savings-bank. Yet she never complained. No one ever heard her denounce her shiftless husband, the real cause of all her sufferings. She liter ally gave up her life to her fam ily, until there was nothing left but the ashes of a burned-out ex istence, nothing but the shell of a once enchantinqfly beautiful and noble woman. Montgomery County Newt. (Troy Montgomsrian.) The heavy rains this week have impaired crops considerably, especially cotton". Freshets have destroyed much corn along the streams subject to overflow. Mr. L. M. Russell made a bus iness trip to Asheboro one day last week, Mt. Gijead is to have a cottons seed ojj mijl, something that has been needed in the county for quite a while.

Rural free delivery of mail in this country is still in its infancy, having been established only a few years ago The Postoffice Department, with much hesitan cy and fear that the system would prove a failure, establish ed one or two routes, as an ex periment. Its importance grows with the establishment of each new route. Nothing the govern ment has ever done for the peo pie has been of greater benefit to them. The people in the ru ral districts at once realized as they had never done before their isolated position and the great advantage this system would be to them. Not only the people living in the country are benefi ted, but hlsothe citizens of the towns from which the routes ra diate find it of great service. Futhermore, the system wher ever established has acted as an educator to the people in the country and has made farm life less lonesome and dreary by put ting them in closer touch with the outside world and giving them better opportunity for newspaper reading. Notwithstanding the system was inaugurated only a tew years ago as an experiment ot doubtful success there are now nearly fifty thousand routes in operation and new ones are being applied for faster than they can be established by the Postoffice Department, and it is very sel dom indeed that a route is dis continued because of insufficient patronage. These facts alone show how popular is this system of giving better mail facilities to that class of our people who were heretofore cut off from con venient intercourse with each other and with the center, of traffic in their sections of the country. Charlotte Observer. In view of the wonderful suc cess and popularity of the Rural Free Delivery system the above bbservation on the part of our esteemed contemporary is very timely. The Observer is usually very careful t o keep history straight, and to claim for North Carolina due credit for the nota ble achievments of her people, and all that is necessary to make the above article of the Obser ver complete and true to history is to add that the Rural Free Delivery system, now so univer sally used and indispensable to the rural sections was establish ed by our national government at the instance and earnest efforts of a North Carolina Sen- ator, and we are proud of that fact, as this Senator, Marion Butler, is a native of Sampson county. Clinton News Dispatch. Churches Still Doing Business. (Wadesboro Ansonian.) Some months ago a bowling al ley was opened in town and a few people were afraid the churches would be disrupted be cause the ministers of the town enjoyed an occasional game there. Well, the bowling alley fad has ended for awhile at least and the churches are moving on in their majestic march as if nothing had happened, This way of some people gojng fjshing, gunning or to summer resorts wlien they want a little exercise or repreat tion, and demanding that their friends hoe in the garden for theirs, is rather narrow, don't you think? If run down, worn out, tire at least exertion, Bloodine is just what you need, 12, 1909. YOUNG MEN, LEARN TELEGRAPHY! TELEGRAPH OPERATORS ARE IN GREAT DEMAND!!

It is sard that in Jackson coun ty, Alabama, the price of farm lands has risen from six to fif teen dollars an acre and in Brad ley .county, Tennessee, it has doubled since the building of good roads in those localities. Men seeking farms prefer those that are located on good roads and will pay higher prices for them. With the progress that is being made in the;' establishment of good roads and in the knowl edge of their advantage to the owners of farms the time will soon come when it will be diffi cult to find purchasers, at any decent price which are not so lo catedj Extensive farming, the greatest yield possible per acre, is the order of the day with in telligent farmers, - and it is spreading so rapidly that in the near future the man who does not follow this pln will be left so far behind thai he will not be considered in the,, class of pro- A'. ducers. ' Hand in hand with these new farming methods go easy access to Markets and cheaper transportation of farm products to centers of trade. These can be secured by those farms only which ;have access to good roads. Great highways be tween widely separated sections of the country ovet which there can be easy and rapid travel is a condition greatly to be desired, but such roads twill not add nearly so much to any section of the country through which they pass as will a number of well made roads leading from the centers of trade into the sur rounding farming territory. The latter are the roads which will build up the towns and add to the prosperity of the rural dis tricts, Charlotte Observer, Seared Wfth A Hof Iron, or scalded by overturned kettle cut with a knjfe fcrujsed by slamined dopr injure by grjn or. in any other way the thing needed at once is Buckjen's Ar nica Salve to subdue inflammation and kill the pain.
