A RANDOLPH- COUNTY PAPER FOR RANDOLPH COUNTY PEOPLE.
VOL. 6. NO. 19.
ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1910.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR

If they wanted anything more
they should have taken it.
Even if the republican candi
dates did go down before the on
slought of boodle and booze, they
put up a gallant fight.
The character of the man yM
honor and tie to is sufficient to
show your own character. Like
goes to like.
The democratic ticket was
counted in, but the sun still
shines, the moon runs its course,
the stars show at night and the
earth still swings around on its
axis.
People who talk most about
their religion usually have the
least religion to talk about. A
man who professes one religion
and practices another is a brazen
hypocrite.
Diligence is essential for busi
ness success, but that diligence
must be rightly applied and with
a due sense of proportion. To be
diligent over trivial things and
ignore those which are impor
tant will not answer.
Many a child has gone to the
bad because its parents in mis
taken tenderness and to avoid
temporary unpleasantness have
let their children have their own
way in everything instead of im
posing upon them the restraint
of a wise and loving parental
authority.
The nation that gets intoxicat
ed with wealtbjmd has no ambi-
tion above commercialism is
doomed to ultimately lose its
strength and die out. As with
individuals so with nations it is
character and not dollars that
gives permanence and true
power.
,
Sometimes we put'the cart be
fore the horse and so make a
' blunder. We occasionally do
this when we dwell upon the
happiness of duty instead of the
duty of happiness. If people
would more frequently realize
their duty to be cheerful, bright
and genial what a vastly better
world this would be.
Naturally enough successful
candidates and their supporters
are elated over their victories
and a corresponding disappoint
ment is felt py the unsuccessful.
But time brings changes, and
this thought prevents the elation
of the one from being overpower
ing while it softens the disap
pointment of the other.
The election in Randolph is
over, resulting in counting the
democrats in by a small majori
ty. At this time the figures are
not at hand consequently we
cannot give the exact majorities
as given to the public, It is too
soon after the contest for com
ment. That is reserved for the
future.
The republican party has come
out of the battle a little scarred
and battered, but republican
PRINCIPLES still live and will
gain other victories more glorious
than in the last fifty years of
great achievements. Republi
can principles are eternal and a
temporary democratic triumph
cannot annihilate them.
For the last few weeks the
minds of the people have been
wrought up to a higher pitch po
litically and naturally a revul
sion will follow as the election is
over. It is to be hoped business
will now take the place of poli
tics and that people will quickly
re-adjust themselves to the new
conditions.
When a town stagnates it is i
usually because its citizen have ;
no public spirit. Content with
things as they are and unaff ect-!
ed by the progress that goes on
around them they see their own
community vegetate while others
near by, fortunate in their type
of citizens, go ahead from one
year to another. Thus it is that
oftentimes towns with many
natural advantages are out-distanced
in population and wealth
by places for which nature has
done but little.
Most people lead average lives
because they are average men
and women, but there is no rea
son why the average itself should
not be higher. That can be
brought about not by genius but
by placing before one a higher
ideal and then striving earnestly
and intelligently to reach that
ideal. Even if the goal is not
quite reached the honest effort
put forth will have its refining
and strengthening effect.
Some people with more money
and time on their hands than
good sense and good taste show
remarkable ingenuity in doing
foolish things that violate the
proprieties. One of the worst
cases was that of the woman
who had three pet dogs for her
bridesmaids at her wedding. If
her husband had any feelings
they must have been of humila
tion. The act itself was practi
cally a mockery of marriage and
one wonders that any clergy
man, if it was a clergyman that
officiated, could have been guilty
of sanctioning such a parody by
his presence.

How kind our Heavenly Father is
flow we in dealing with man
That we can meet our friends again
And live in that celestial land
How watchful then ought we to live
With what religious fear
Who such a strict account must give
For our behavior here. ,

RAILROAD TO CO-OPERATE WITH
COTTON FARMERS.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 3,
(Special) Practical steps are
being taken by the Southern
Railway Company, the Alabama
great Southern Railroad Com
pany, and the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad Co. to co-operate with
the officials of the United States
Agricultural Department and the
State Commissioners of Agri
culture in advising farmers, in
the territory along the lines of
these railways which may event
ually be reached by the Mexican
cotton boll weevil, as to the best
methods of growing cotton in
spite of the presence of that in
sect. The experience of the
farmers in Texas, where the
weevil has been f wr some years,
demonstrates that, by the adop
tion of proper methods, practi
cally as large yields of cotton can
be obtained as before the appear
ance of the weevil. In most lo
calities in Texas the invasion of
the weevil has generally been
followed by short crops for two
or three years until the farmers
have learned how to deal with
the insect.
For the purpose of making the
co-operative work of the Com
panies as effective and helpful
as possible, an organization has
been perfected to be known as
the Cotton Culture Department
of the Southern Railway, the
Alabama Great Southern Rail
road, and the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad, with a view to encour
aging the adoption of the most
the appearance of the weevil.
This, it is felt, will have the ef
fect of maintaining the normal
production of cotton. Practical
farmers who have had i experi
ence in dealing with . the boll
weevil will be employed and will
devote their entire time to visit
ing the farmers along the lines
of these railways iu localities
which may eventually be reach
ed bvthe weevil and crivincr them
practical advice as to the best
methods of growing cotton un
der the boll weevil conditions.
Planters and others in these
localities who are desirous i
availing themselves of the prac
tical advice and assistance of
of the agents of the Cotton Cul
ture Department in this matter
are invited to correspond with
Mr. T. O. Piunkett, General
Agent of the Cotton Culture De
partment of the Southern Rail
way, the Alabama Great South
ern Railroad and . the Mobile &

The chrysanthemum show held
