ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
OUR RALEIGH LETTER.
Raleigh, June 26th. -The re
sult of the Democratic fight in
Wake County waged in the prim
ary Saturday resulted in a vic
tory for the socalled anti-ring
ticket, which was backed by Edi
tor Josephus Daniels of the News
& Observer and Mr. J. W. Bailey,
The 4 'ring' ' or present officers
carried the City of Raleigh , by
handsom majorities, receiving
some 350 to over 500. But in
the county precincts the new
crowd developed unsuspected
strength and overcame all of
these majorities for the vote was
very close. A total of 5,000
votes was cast and the only one
of the present officers in the
county who was renominated
was Sheriff J. H. Sears, his maj
ority deing about 25. Clerk of
the court Russ was defeated for
renomination by eleven votes.
There are about 9,000 qualified
voters in Wake county. Hence,
notwithstanding the hot fight,
not more than half of the voters
of the county seemed to have
participated in the primary Sat
urday. Of the 5,000 who voted
in these primaries no questions
were asked of some non-residents
men who had not been in the
county or precinct sufficient
length of time, and many who
had not paid their poll taxes took
part. At Harris Store House,
Creek Township, several negroes
voted in the Democratic primary.
This may have happened in soma
of the other precints. It is sign
ificant that Judge Manning,' for
Associate Justice of the Suprfenvi
Court, carried the County by
about 500. It is no secrer. in
Raleigh that Governor Kiteuin
was friendly towards the "ring"
or present officers and they were
anxious to pile up a good major
ity for his appointee as an ex
pression of appreciation for his
efforts and because the News &
Observer had been hostile to him
This accounts for the victory of
Judge Manning over Judge Allen,
for both of these Justices are
well known in Wake county.
There are already plans on foot
for the nomination of a strong
opposition ticket and it is confi
dently predicted by many Demo
crats that the Republicans stand !
a splendid chance to carry Wake
county in November.
FARMERS NOT COMPLAINING.
The farmers of the country
who are prospering under exist
ing conditions are not complain
ing of the prices they obtain for
what they sell, soys the National
"Farmer." The tariff revision
downward advocates tell the
farmers that the tariff oppresses
them, but they are very careful
not to refer to the tariff on food
nroducts as "oppression to the
farmer." But the intelligent
farmer who keeps posted will
not be deceived by the low tariff
yawp. He has only to study
facts and figures to reach correct
conclusions. The cost of food is
regulated by supply and demand,
and no farmer can get high price
for what he raises unless Ameri
can wage earners have money to
buy with, and they must be act
ively employed and get good
wages to buy plenty of food.
Kept The King At Home.

DON'T HARbOR REVENGE!
What an -awful price people
pay for the determination to
"get square" with those they
fancy have injured them! No
matter what others do to us,
every bit of injury we do to
them, every blow intended for
another really wounds ourselves.
A bitter, revengeful thought
is a boomerang which is hurled
back to the thrower. It is im
posible to injure another either
in thought or in deed without re
ceiving the blow ourselves.
What a terrible price many
people pay for their revenge
a price which often staggers
their advancement, kills their
efficiency, ruins their characters.
I have known people to carry
for years feelings of bitter hatred
and revenge for a fancied wrong,
to hold a revengeful determina
tion to "get square" with those
who injured them, until their
whole characters were so chang
ed that they became almost in
human. -
. No one can carry a grudge
against another, a hatred thought
a revengeful determination a de
sire to injure others, without,
a fatal deterioration of character
as well as serious impairment of
his getting-on ability and his
happiness. People little realize
what they do when they harbor
these happiness-destroying, success-killing
thoughts toward
others. Such feelings kill spon
taneity, blight the character,
and stifle self-expansion.
No one can do his best work
while he harbors revengeful or
even unfriendly thoughts to
ward others. Our facilities only
give up their best when working
in harmony. There must be
good-will in the heart or we can
not do goo i work with the head.
Hatred, revenge and jealousy
are rank poisons, as fatal to all
that is noblest in us as arsenic
is fatal to the physical life.
Just think how unmanly it is
to be. waiting for an opportunity
to injure one! If you wish to
make the most of yourseif , and
have peace of mind, never retire
iat night with an unkind feeling
toward anyone in the world.
Forget, forgive. Let not the
sun-go down upon your wrath.
You can not afford the fatal
rankling of these hatred and re
venge jatelins in your soul.
They are success killers, v happi
ness destroyers. O. S. Marden.
TOOK. GOOD CARE OF HIS FAMILY
The expression, "a perfect
croose." is often used to denote
silliness. Yet my experience is,
that the goose is ak very intelli
gent bird, and the gander could
teach many a husband a valuable
lesson.
We raised a pair, a goose and
erander. and the faithfulness of
his lordship to his mate Was most
touching. When there was a
family, he would hover over the
eggs by the hour, and let her
roam about nickine: grass at her
own sweet will... When the little
goslings appeared, nothing could
exceed his pride and delight, and
his care for them. By accident
the mother got hold of some poi
son that we had put out for rats,
and died. He showed his grief
by his heartrending calls for her,
but he never neglected his babies
He shouldered-the whole respon
sibility, and was both mother ana
father, raising his entire family.
The most remarkable part was
that,though we had other geese,
he remained a self respecting
widower to the end; constant to
his first and only love. He staid
by himself and, to the day of his
death, he would occasionally ut
ter those pathetic calls for his
lost companion. Ex.
TO JUNE BRIBES,
After the honeymoon, it may
be wise for some of the June
brides to ask themselves, "What
did my husband marry me for?"
The answer, inspired by little
tender hearts would be, in most
cases, Because he loved me." If
pressed futher they admit that
it was their prettiness, their gen
tleness, their wit or their intel
lect, which attracted him, and
which made him desire to marry.
Few women seem to realize
that, greater than his worship of
his bride, greater than any com
pelling force of beauty or of
brains, is a man's primal instinct
to make a home. He wants to
set up his household gods, to light
a fire on his hearthstone, that he
may have a place of refuge from
the storm and stress , of the
world.
America has always been a
country of homes. That we are
getting rapidly away from the
hearthstore ideal is not only a
pity but a menace.
Little June Bride may not
think of herself as contributing
to the permanence of our civili
zation, when she plans to make
her own home happy, but she is
a greater factor than she knows.
Every woman who makes a suc
cess of her own married life is
contributing to the welfare and
uplift of the nation. Of course,
Little June Bride rather resents
the idea that she has to do any
thing to make her husband con
tented. She feels that she reigns
in his heart as queen, and, where
ever she is, he must be happy.
It is this idea, however, that so
often brings misery to young
wives. Love is not merely the
accepting of worship from an
other. Love gives as well as
takes. There can be no perma-
nance to a passion which demands
everything.
The sensible woman, therefore,
is the one who knows that the
answer to the question, "What
did my husband marry me for?"
involves something more than
her own individual charms. She
knows that in his eyes she is the
embodiment of an ideal which
made the woman he loved, one
who provided for him a place of
rest. It will be well, therefore,
for Little June Bride to s.e to it
that the house of which she is so
proud shall be a man's home as
well as a woman's. If she loves
flowers, and fancy-work and the
glitter of glass and silver, he loves
his newspapers, his dogs, his
pipes. The woman who relegates
her husband to a' little den in a
remote corner of the house, who
refuses to harbor his pets, who
complains of the litter of maga
zines and newspapers, is not the
one to whom he will turn for com
fort, By over-exquisiteness in
her housekeeping, she can build
up a barrier between herself and
her husband which it will be hard
to break down.
It is easy enough to develop
the home habit in a man if he
finds there the things that make
him comfortable. Otherwise, he
may seek the club or the compan
ionship of men, who eventually
draw him into outside interests.
It is useless to say, ' 'Am I then
simply to hold my husband by
making him comfortable?" You
are, rather, to add the art of
home making-to your otherl
charms. Does not your husbund
make you comfortable bythe in
come that he earns by hard la-
porZ Would you love him just
as well if he sheltered you less
snugly, or failed to provide you
with the' little luxuries which
you crave.?'
Marriage is, as I said before, a
JUDGE MANNING AND THE AMERICAN
TOBACCO TRUST.
(Wadesboro Ansonian)
If Judge Manning holds the
balance of power on the Supreme
Court bench as it is now constitut
ed, his case should be carefully
considered before he is retained
in that body. It will be remem
bered that he managed the cam
paign of Governor Kitchin, hold
ing at the same time a high-salaried
position as counsel for the
American Tobacco Co. Soon
after .being inaugurated, Mr.
Kitchin appointed Mr. Manning
associate judge of the Supreme
Court of the State. The people
then said that no laws would be
passed or any action taken that
would harm the American Tobac
co Co., North Carolina, s greatest
trust. They have not been dis
appointed in this, although Mr.
Kitchin and Mr. Manning tried
to make them believe,. during the
former's campaign, that great
things would be done 10 curb this
mighty trust. True to the belief
of those who opposed him, Mr.
Kitchin has remained practically
silent when the great trust was
being considered. True to the
belief of those who oppored the
appointment of Mr. Manning to
the Supreme Court bench, he
has on every occasion delivered
his opinions in favor of the cor
porate interests of the State and
directly against the will of the
people. He may not be their
servant, but there is much evi
dence to -show that he is, so
much that the people will do w ell
to elect Judge Allen who, during
his many years on the superior
court bench, has sh.wn absolute
fairness and sound judgment . in
dealing with the corporate inter
ests and the people. His recog
nized legal ability and his deep
love for justice are so pronounced
that even his enemies are saying
that he should remain on the sup
erior court bench, where he has
far many more opportunities to
exercise his superior legal ability
But recently his opinions have
been over-ruled in the higher
court where Mr. Manning casts
the deciding vote. These opin
ions were correct in the minds of
many of the State's leading jud
ges and lawyers but they didn't
stand where Mr. Manning is said
to rule. It looks like there
should be a change and especially
so when a man of Judge Allen's
pronounced type and ability, en
titled by reason of long service
and fitness, is desired by the peo
ple and their friends.
HE OBEYED.
Little Harold was getting final
instructions before starting for a
party.
"Now," cautioned his mother,
"at supper if they ask you the
second time to have something,
you must decline."
Harold agreed and trotted off;
At one stage of the feast the
hostess noticed how eagerly the
little fellow was applying himself
to the task of disposing of a gen
erous dish of marmalade. When
he had finished, she inquired:
'Wont yon have som more dear?"
The child looked up at her
quickly. ' T can't accept the sec
ond time, ' ' he said earnestly after
a slight pause, "but if you'll ask
me a third time, I think it will
be all right."

give and take. Men may marry
for love, but that love is also a
worship of the home-keeping
ideal, and if Little June Brides is
a wise woman, she will try to
make true her husband's dream
of hearthstone happiness. Doilie

For several days previous . to
June 23, catchy, posters were
stuck up all over town and
throughout the county, annouhcr
ing that the "Western Bloomer
Girls" would play Asheboro local
ball team at the ball park in
Asheboro June 23, game to be
called at 4 p. m. The visiting
aggregation arrived in town on
the evening of June 22, and
when the hour of 4 p. m. arrived
on June 23, nearly 700 people
including the leading citizens of
the town had dropped their, good
coin at the gate and passed in
to witness the "greatest game
of the season". Soon the game
or farce comedy opened, but
gentle reader we will not harrow
your feelings by a description of
what followed. Suffice it to say
that the thing hadn't advanced
very far when the loveis of the
real national game cast side
glances at each other and each
thought "gold brick", "faked".
To say the least of it the game
was what a setting of eggs would
become after an old hen had set
on them for six weeks and failed
to hatch. A few more games
like the "Western Sunflowers'
put up will kill the baseball spirit
in Asheboro. The score of 20
and 2 shows that the gate receipts
was all the visitors came for and
they got it, about $135, being
their quoto. 30 cents would
have been nearer their real
worth. "Faked".

WHY
NOT
THE DAY OF THE POOR.
Disciples of unrest would have
the world believs that this is the
day of the rich; whereas, on the
contrary, never in the history of
the United States have the poor
and those persons of restricted
means been enabled to procure so
much for so little.
The rich may "speed in their
automobiles, but for five cents
the poor may ride . royally from
one side of a city like Chicago to
the other, or be carried miles in
to the country. What an im
provement ever the days of our
forefathers, when it was either
own your private conveyance, or
else journey by foot or in the ex
pensive stage.
The rich may seclude them
selves in spacious villas and coun
try places, but the country-place
of the poor is provided absolutely
free of expense to them, in ex
tensive parks where grass, trees,
fountains and music, flowers and
statuary, are theirs to enjoy as
it' created by their pocket-books.
For two cents a letter may be
sent a distance which once would
have demanded twenty-five cents
To the address of the poor as to
the hall of the rich the carrier de
livers the mail, and for the farm
er whose labor .will not permit
him to go to town there is the
rural service.
For five cents the poor man
may talk over the telephone as
far as the rich man and into the
cottage as into the mansion has
been extended the electric light,
at a reasonable rate.
Grand opera comes high, to be
sure; but what does that matter
when many, many amusement
gardens, as well as the . public
parks, charge no admittance fee
to their concerts?
The rich mav have their private
libraries; but much larger librar
ies, of literature as choice and
choicer, are open in cities and
even in villages to the knock of
the common people.
It is not the day of the rich: it
is the day of the poor, wherein
especial attention is being paid to
the person not with much, but
with little to spend. Edwin L.
