iu Davie . In D vie the Re
publican majority ha3 been greatly
reduced and-Mr. Holtou i;ai much
behind his ticket. In Yadkin county
there was a great falling off, due, in

behind, his majority being 29, when
the usual majoity is 85 and more.

Bright Prospects for 1912.
' A dispatch from the nation's
capitol says that the political revo
lotion of Tuesday, which upset the
precedents of a generation ami
changed the polit cal complexion of
the House of Representatives, pres
ages a Democratic victory in tue
f residential fight two years hence,
o commenting on this ph&ie of the
political situation, Senator Bison,
of Georgia, gave out the following:
" The people of the country have
tamed to the Democratic party be
cause of .the dissatisfaction with the
tariff record of the party in power.
As I interpnt it; the result yesterday
is more than anything else an
expression of the disaatififaotion with
the high cost of living. Now that
we have th oppurtunity, th Demo
crats in Congress must be wise and
cautious, so that the positions taken
with reg-ird to public rjneaiioiis will
merit the approval uud cor-pJenct
of 'Me people, I, for out-, believe
tha1; the party will measure up to its
responsibility."

A Good Suggestion.
Some of the towns and counties
in the State have poultry associa
tions. Why not Ran Jolph cennty
have one? This is a fine place for
raising poultry this fact having al
ready been democs'rated and an as
sociation would do mnch to p omote
this growing and profitable industry.
