The Courier has advocated a le galized primary and still believes in this as' the best plan to obtain the will of the people in securing nomi nations for public office. These pri maries should be conducted at pub. lie expense like an election. One object of a primary is to prevent the use of money in primaries. A primary like the elections should be conducted fairly and this should be demanded. The press and the public should demand a primary law hedged about in such a way that all will have a square deal, and furthermore, let such a healthy sentiment be built up against the use of money in politics that no one can nfford to adopt that method of obtaining a nomination or an election. Public eentiment is the most powerful, propelling force. A shadow of suspicion falls on any one who is not a very rich man who en ters a primary and spends money lavishly, because it is natural to be lieve that some one else is footing the bills,and when some one else foots the bills, that means that some one elee will control the public official when elected. Editor Johnson in the Thomas ville Davidsonian ssys referring to the senatorial situation : "The Davidsonian leans mightily toward Mr. Aycock for Senator and in the event that he is not available it would be' glad to see Senator Simmons succeed himself." Randolph county wants thousands of people to help develop our natu ral resources. An acre of land in Ran dolph county costing from $10 to $25 would net the owner as much in money as three acres of land in North Dakota costing $200 an acre. It is a question cf tima when the people of the Northwest will come to this section of North Carolina to buy land. TLii movement in the distribution will restore the Sjuth to it? before the war prosperity and prestige. Several years ago while Gen. J. Warren Kieffer, of Oh;o, was deliv- eiing a speech in Congress ''waiving the bloody shirt," news came of a race riot in Springfield, Ohio, ac companied by the burning of the negro residence section. A law was soon thereafter enacted removing the f-heriffs and jilora from office in counties where a lynching occurred. Of course this is net a sure prevei t- ive, lut it has to a great extent broken, up lynching in Ohio. Randleman News. The Randleman Mill is closed down on account of broken mac1 in err.

CONGRESSMAN PAGE AND THE LUMBER CIRCULAR He Makes Formal Statement, But ''With Determination Not To Be Drawn Into Sena torial Controversy." Washington, July 20. Repre sentative Page's attention was called to the article in the Durham Her ald and copied in the Charlotte Chronicle, which reads as follows: "As Mr. Overman and the eight or nine Congressmen who favored a duty on lumber knew nothing of the circular issued from Democratic headquarters, the public would like to know their reasons for voting in opposition to an express declaration of the party platform." When asked for a statement Mr. Pago gave out the following; " L'his clipping copied by the Chcon icle from the Durham Herald impels me to make a statement with not spirit of controversy and with a firm adetermination not to be drawn into the senatorial controversy now going on in the State. "The effort that is now being made to make an issue of the vote of both Senators and six of the seven Demo cratic Congressmen of the House in the first session of the Sixty-first Con gress on lumber, comes a little late so far as the members of the House are concerned Most of us met that issue in tha last campaign for re nomination and election, and the fact that we were renominated and elected would seem to indicate either that the people agree with us, or had for given us. However,! never cast a vote without having a reason therefor, for it to the people whoce representative lam. "The Democratic platform of 1908 was the promise of that party to the American people, provided the people entrusted that party with the management of the government. It declared for a gradual re duction of tariff duties to a revenue baais; this was the prime and leading promise touching tariff legislation, it also declared for free logs, wood pulp, print paper and lumber. To my mind, each of these promises was necessarily conditioned upon the success of the party at the polls. At that election, by a great mnjority, the Republicans were elected. They proceeded at an extra session ,of Con gress to revise the tariff. In the House and in the Senate Democrats were in a decided minority. The till brought in and supported by the majority party increased rather than decreased tariff rates. Democrats did not have the votes necessary to carry out the promise made the peo ple in their platform to gradually reduce tariffrates. Not being able to do so as a whole, it did not seem either fair or right, or even a com pliance oi the promise made the peo ple, to single out one item in three thousand and place it on the free list, when the articles entering iuto its manufacture were left at the pro tective rates of the Diugley bill. Neither did I then regard, nor do I now regard an ad valorem duty of 7 per cent on lumber as being protec tive, but probably below the mini mum of revenue rates. "I did not see the much-discuaaed circular sent out by the State Corn, mittee prior to the election of 1908, but before a vote was takeu on 'any item in the Payne-Aldrich tar ff bill submitted to the extra Btssion of congress in tne spring or. loUS), m the Uitcusaion of wtiat our position should be upon the amendment of fered placing lumber on the free liar, tne cncular nad been brought to my attention and to the attention of other membeis of the delegation, ana we had discussed ic among ourselves ana regarded it aa an interpretation of the State Committee of the Den ver platform, ajid to a certain degree entered into our conclusions as to the position we ought to take particular ly since it agreed witn the personal interpretation that, many of ns had already placed upon it. I did not rely upon it entirely in justification of my vote1, foi during the campaign of 1908, I repeatedly said that the democratic party if elected, would not reduce the duty on any article witnout mating a general reduction upon all articles. Every other Dem ocrat that I heard make a speech in that campaign made the same state ment." Thomas J. Pence in News and Observer.

Experiment Farms The following letter from Mr. J. L. Harass, or the SUte Depart lnrui ox AgrieuUura will be of in t real to our f ai mers: Mr. Editor: Sjuie days ago we called the at tention of vour people to the local experimental farm work we -re do ing in the different counties of the State. Not all of the counties have these farms yet but we confidently expect to get the work in at least 80 per cent or the counties this year. Some of these farms have fertilizer experiments; some cultural methods experiment; some variety test; tome testing the relative value ot fall as against spring spreadgig of manure, etc. iu all of which the tu: mer has a vital interest. Large .s are erected in front of these si. and the details of the work an- cat (fully labelled, with large leu. j j on painted boards so that all wuo ;-isj ov wy see and understand the wuiu u operation. Theic may be a few cases where fro:u o:ic c.'Msi or another, such as faiitr.e to gtt a facand, Unusually dry weather, Weed inattention to the work ou tne p rt of the farmer, etc., the experiment; iu question may not show what it is expected to show but we will have to ask you to wait till the following experiment is pL.cui n the road as the results a"v bp more interesting. iou will generally find two ex- peiiUiciiid oa your road each year, 0! e during the tu miner and another during the winter and spring. We are very mucn gratified tone able to say that our work this year is doing extraordinarily well in all the counties considering the un toward conditions nnder which our local experimenters have had to work. Much credit is dne them for the interest and determination shown in carrying out the instructions. While the Department furnishes all the fertilizer?, and all the seed, when nectssary, the. work is so planned that the extra time given to the experimental side of the work just balances the extra fertilizer used on that part of the acre not under experiment. It will be seen, therefore, that these men are en gaged in a patriotic service to the State. The most important return is their increased knowledge of their own local conditions, Next week we expect to begin a series of articles on organic matter in the soil and will emohasizs the use of green manuring crops as the best and easiest meats of putting humus iu the sail which is tie basis of all soil fertility.

It is not possible to give an exact dare to this prophecy, from which our lesson begins, . but it doubtless belongs somewhere in the sixth cen tury B. U. A more sublime pas sage id not to be fountt in the old testament than Isaiah's description of the suffering servant of Jehovah. It belongs to the period of Israel s deepest sorrow and despondency, and was intended to inspire hope and courage and devotion to God. Uould the people of God complain at hardship and personal sorrows when such a picture of innocent suf fering was prtsented to them? Suppose you knew nothing about Jesus Christ, would not this picture inspire in you a desire to learn some thing of him who as portrayed in it?- Many of the prophets suffeted for sake or the people, but none ponred out their souls in agony as Jesus did. It is important therefore t) study this lesaon with your mind on Jesus of Nazereth, who brought for giveness to us by'the perfect sacrifice of himself. The sufferings of the servant of the Lord will be rewarded by His ex altation above the great men of the eatth. Who shall give Him honor and glory -for the wisdom of his works and for his supreme peace as redeemer of met ? People in this world usually con sider pleasure as the best thing to be sought after, and pain to be avoided. Most of us feel like saying "I must not do that for it will cause me pain," or "I must do this because it is a pleasure." The truth that the best things of life come only after extreme Borrow arid sacrifice is a bard one for ns to learn. Children and young people do not care to sur render their own pleasure, and think it a hardship if they cannot always be in the midst of a good time. Bat would you not suffer for your father or mother or for one you love trulj ? You have perhaps seen a b y take the part of oue in trouble. Would you not be ashamed to con fess that pain made a cowaid cf you? Or that you cared for nobody but yourself? Who is the person most admired in the world? Is it not someone who suffered, was misunderstood, misjudged, persecuted and took up on himself burdens that did not really belong to im? Did not George Washington suffer a great burden for others? It is this same spirit that made Jesus the world hero. He is more than a martyr; he is the world re deemer for the service he rendered mrnkind. He is the Saviour, the Anointed, one of God, who is now at the right hand cf glory and power, to whom ii due praise now and evermore. Lester Lucas, Supt. Pisgah Sunday School. To Reduce Fre'ght Rates. On last Mjnday the Interatate Commerce Commission, in what are known aa the Spokane Rano- Pacific coast cases, ordered material reduc tion in freight rates from the Et to points between Denver and the western terminals of the great trans continental railroads. The railroads have for m my years exacted from shippers t3 intermedi ate' points higher ra'es on eastern freights than were charged for the much longer hauls to Seattle, Sm, Francisco, and other Pacific coast points, on the theory that the rail roads must meet water competition to the Pacific co.ist. The higher rates to intermediate points, arbitra rily fixed, have been defended by a comparison with the coast rates, plus a theoretical back haul from the coast to the inland -stations along the line- Southern people would like to re- Iceive some attention and relief by he Interstate -Commerce Commis ion, since they need it just nsmuch s the West. If is a well known act that just as much, or more, dis crimination in freight rates is made against the South as any other part (if the Country.

STANDARD DRUG COMPANY And REXALL booooooooooooooooooooooooo 'HIS FRIENDS DISAPPOINTED" Governor Kitchin Was Elected by Men Who Believed Him a Man of Action. To the Editor: As one of the many loyal supporters of W. W. Kitchin in past years, wno can no longer support him Jpr any thing, I simply want to add my endorsement to your position and the letters of Mr. Misenheimer and Mr. Lockhart, tothe gener al effect that he was elected by men who believed him a man of action who would at least make a strong fight for progressive Democracy, and that his mencts have been grievously disappoint ed. In the past twelve years I have tried to . closely study political affairs in this State and have attended every Democrotic State Conventioi in that time, and 1 have never known a sadder con trast in politics than that be tween the position of Mr- Kitch in as I have seen him fighting for what he believed right re gardless of consequences, and his position again in the last campaign when as Governor of the State he took an hour s time of a big audience trying to prove that equals F. when everyone who heard him was thinking that even if his proposition were true, it was possing strange that W- W- Kitchin should be found w th the American Tobacco Com pany favoring F. No one was more enthusiastic or Kitchin in, 1908 than . I was, though like all Democrats, it was hard to turn against Locke Craig, but I believed that Mr. Kitchin who had been preaching active government for years would pro duce some results. According, to Mr. 'Lockhart, be says he was e'ected on his personality, and that is not far wrong, tut the people's idea of that personality was of a tighter who would hght to the last ditch and never sur render. He has failed us and that kind of man is not needed jn the United State3 Senate in these trying times. In conclu sion I want to say that though this is my opinion of the Govern or, I believe at the same time that the one man in this State whose political record is clearest and test and most worthy of general approval, is the Govern or's brother, Congressman Caude Kitchin, who has never had to interpret a platform or get ab solved from it to reconcile it to his acts or lack' of acts. The Governor must continue to make excuses and defenses, but over whatever he says or writes is al ready stamped the verdict of many of his strongest friends that he has been weighed in the balances and found wanting.
