There were soin disappointed people od tbe morning of November 9th, and all of them were not straight Republicans. The result was more than a protest against the mean, slimy campaign, but was a rebuke to the campaign of deception. The most deadly poison to man is the bite of the Red Spot spider. The most deadly poison for tbe Republican party in North Carolina is the injection oi Marion Bntler into the campaign of 1910. Chairman Miller and Secretary Worth are the heroes of the hour in this county. Under their leadership a decisive victory was won. Much credit is due Mr. L. P. Rosf, the leader of the .young democracy in the county. There is too much leniency in punishing people for carrying concealed weapons. The annual output of pistols and "dead folks" is too large. There are too "many dead folks produced" in this country every year and largely because of the deadly habit of pistol toting. While Chairman Miller and Secretary Worth, of the county executive committee deserve much credit for; the excellent work and superior organization of the Democrats of the county, yet much credit is due the cap tains on the firing line, the pre cinct committees and the boys in die trenches. John A. Dix, of New York, Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, Judge Raldwin, of Connecticut Eugene Foss, of, Massachusetts, and Judson Harmon, of Ohio, are all five big men elected to the highest position of trust and honor in their respective states. One thing helped the Democrats this year was that they had good men as candidates. Referring to the recent elec tion, Henry " Watterson says : "It is something more than a threat of dismissal of a party oligarchy which has grown reck less of power, its leaders think ing they held the world in a sling. It shows that after all, when fairly aroused, the people do rule, that God still reigns and that the government of our fathers of the constitution and the law, the established order of the Congress, the court and the executive yet lives, and is to continue to live at Washington. A CAMPAIGN FALSEHOOD. It is strange how people will believe falsehoods circulated just before an election when it is too late for them to be denied In the recent election it was circulated along the river towns of fchis county only a day or so before the election that Mr. O. R. Oox was an advocate of the 12 hour labor law and had been un fair and unjust to the mill em ployees when he was engaged in the cotton mill business. Instead of this boing true, Mr. Cox was the first man in the county, 22 years ago, to adopt the plan of paying cash for wages instead of due bills and trade, as was the custom for many years before that time. Some 16 or 18 years ago the Cedar Falls Manufacturing Com pany, of which Mr. Cox was secretary and treasurer1, reduced the number of hours from 72 hours a week to 66 hours a week, and since that time these mills have only run 66 hours a week. We have no record and have not investigated the matter, but it is stated upon good authority to us that the Cedar Falls Manufac turing Company was the first mill in the county to reduce the time to 66 hours a week. 1 he reduc tion of time was made voluntare- ly by the mill owners and with out any request by the mill hands. There were some unthinking people who scratched Mr. Cox on account of this falsehood which was circulated by designing and slanderous tongues for political purposes. We call attention to this in stance to show the gross injustice done by bad and designing men- This report, like many others, that were circulated in the clos ing days of the campaign, was not known at Democratic head quarters until late in the after noon on election day. But the campaign of slander, abuse, villi- fication and slime has ended and the leaders of it are politically dead. Their like has never been seen in the county or elsewhere before, but they will not bother anybody in the future. Richmond Pearson Tells Why the Republicans Were Pefea ed. The following summary of rea sons for defeat, from the pen of the Hon. Richmond Pearson, one of the State's most prominent Republicans, will be read with interest : "Hon. Richmond Pearson, when asked how he explained the clean sweep in the State, said ' 'Tour causes were operating concurrently to produce the re sult : "Firt Keen disappointment at Mr. Taft's constant preferenc of Democrats over Southern Republicans- "Second. The illogical, incon sequent and grotesque action of the Greensboro convention in tr ing to endorse Mr. Taft with out qualification and in the same breath nominating to our highest tribunal the identical men whom Mr. Taft had severally and suc cessively inspected, insulted and turned down for an inferior office. 'Third- The ambiguous, impu dent and obviously deceptive plank on local self-government. "Fourth. But greater than this, than these, than all saddling upon the Republican party responsibility for alleged acts of Mr. Marion Butler com mitted or performed at a time when Mr. Butler was fighting the most cherished principles of the Republican party and assail ing its most beloved and most honored leaders. This form of vicarious punishment stands out unique in the history of political tactics and men like Mr. Sim mons and Mr. Aycock must have laughed in, their sleeves while the remorseless work proceeded. "I believe that the fierce and passionate denunciation of Mr. Butler hurt the Republican cause less than Mr. Butler's admission that while holding the State's highest commission he prosecut ed and later collected a 'claim against the sovereign power which had thus honored him. There is no statute law against such an act because until now it has been considered unnatural if not impossible. United States Senators are like amhassadors, and not even a Talleyrand or a Machiavelli, though each was a genius of ardent and daring na ture, ever prosecuted a claim against the government whose highest credentials he bore. "It may be said without harsh ness or intemperance that his act alone disqualifies Mr. Butler now and forever from becoming the leader of the Republicans of North Carolina- He has never claimed that distinction and Dem ocrats are powerless to confer or convey a sound title thereto - Goreraor Kitchen has appointed Robt L. Leinster, of Statesville, to succeed Gen. J. H Armfieldas Ad jmtant General of North Caroline. County Leader Writes Young Men To the joong Democracy of Ran dolph: As county leader of the Young Men s Movement 1 wiBh to thank yon for the magnificent support you have given oar cause during the campaign jnst closed, rrom every part of the county I have received good reports concerning tbe work done by young Democrats, and if the next "crop of first voters" are as loyal and enthusiastic as you have proven in this caopaign 1 see no reir son why we should not mure than double our ninjcrity in Randolph two veais Hence. I have seen more smiling and happy faces iu the last week than I hve ever before seen in the same length of time. Wh,? Because Randolph had again gone Democra tic, and with a growicg umjority that looks like it baa come to stay and get larger all tbe timr; because North Carolina ias elected ten Dem ocrats to Congress: and because a number of states, heretofore R( pub lican, nave gone overwhelmingly Democratic, giviug us a decided mHjority in Congress and insuring us a Democrat for President in the next election. Why really I do not see how we have contained ourselves as well as we have. Now, that the election is over, we should not lose interest in political affairs. As long as a party is in power it is making a record and we should keep posted and study the situation as time continues. VThen a Democratic Congress meets the world shall know what our party would do if placed in control of the nation. If a Republican Senate op poses every good measure enacted by a Democratic Co Duress it will only make our victory easier and more assured in 1912. The loneer you study the two parties the prouder you will become that yon are what you are, and not the other fellow, aud the more rea sons you will nod why tbe other fellow should come over and join you. Yot ng friends, the responsibility, tha; now res's upon older shoulders, will soon be upon us. L;t us pre pare ourselves t.y diligent study of the gr.ut issues which most concern our btate aud nation, and when we nie sure we are right we will go uheid and eodeavor to keep the Bail or l)e uocracy on tbe heights where .t has been planed by tboae admirable leadeis we can not hope to excel.

During tbe last ' summer extensive experiments were mad with "antl staublt" to prevent dusty roads in Cbemnltz. Tbe material was bought by tbe city from potash works at Aschersleben and cost $26.18 per met ric ton of 22.040 pounds. Tbe and- staubit is sprinkled over the road by means of tbe ordinary street sprinkling cart. After carefully cleaning the street and moistening tbe material wltb water It Is thus strewn when first applied, and for each square me ter about one kilo (2.2 pounds per 10.8 square feett Is required. All subse quent sprinkling Is done wltb a solu tion of fio per cent water. According to the experience of the.
