Editorial Briefs.
They do tell that they just laked
one of havin^as many Democi-ats
out to the primary in CHoucester
as tlie Republicans usually have
out to their County Conventions
and we all know that Gloucester
is not much of a Democratic
stronghold.

Mr
There are tw’o essetial elements
for political success, harmony
and interest, and there is no
doubt that the Democratic party
in the county has both, as was in
dicated by the interest taken in
the primaries and by the perfect
harmony that prevailed.
^ -Jf
The Republicans have carried
Transylvania county a few times
in tiie past by reason of the Dem
ocrats being asleep, but judging-
from the very large attendance
at the i)^'i*^iaries last Saturday
every Democrat is awake and
there is no hope for the Rads.

The press associations of North
Carolina and Virginia are going
to hold another joint meeting this
year. Last year they met at
Asheville, and this summer the
Tar Heel writers will be the guest
of their Virginia brothers at
Chase City, Va. Why not join
the South Carolina association at
the Isle of Palms next month
and make it a three-cornered af
fair. —Greenville News.
that the Democratic party has
grown so in Transylvania, the
reason is that we have a thinking
sensible cit’.^.enship and they re
fuse to be systematicaly and per
petually fooled and deceived and
they realize that the hope of the la
boring man and small property
owner is in the Democratic party,
hence our majority has grown
year by year and w^e predict not
less than 250 majority for the en
tire Democratic ticket this fall.
*

Discord never nourishes in
any political party where the
people take interest in and attend
the primaries, for there every
man has his say and his voice is
heard, and there is small chance
for any chicanery. With the
very large turnout at the primar
ies held on the IGth we feel as if
every man in the county should
be satisfied with the result, never
mind if his particular friend did
not get the nomination, for the
nominee is certainly the choice of
the large majority of our party
in the county.

The action of Buncombe county
in declaring for the unit rule af
ter the tirst ballot in the congress
ional convention is so undemo
cratic that it deserves the rebuke
of every county in this district.
Unless county conventions abide
by the rules of the democratic
plan of organization they are not
democratic and should be barred
from a voice in all democratic bod
ies, As we see it this action of
the Buncombe democracy debars
them from even the tirst vote in
the Congressional Convention.

The above shows the strength
of each county in the coming
congressional convention.

There was some talk of the Re
publicans giving the nomination
for Solicitor to their party in this
county, but after they heard of
the very large number of Domo-
crats out to the primaries they
decided that there was no use in
trying to do anything here and
therefore they would let Transyl
vania go and not give any Tran
sylvania Republican a nomination
for there was no hope of even
holding us down to 200 majority
in the fall.

It is not only on account
of Republican political blunders
An Editor’s Duty.
This paper came to the conclusion
that when members of the same po-
lirical party are fandidatos for nomi
nation. it is not the mission of a
newspaper to advocate the cause of
one candidate in j)ivt>renee to an
other.—Asheville Citizen.
Evidently the Citizen aspires to
an exalted position in the news
paper world. Of course such
puny sheets as the Atlanta Con
stitution and Journal-—and all
the leading dail^^ aud w’eekly pa
pers of Georgia which are array
ed in favor of one or the other
candidates for Governor—should
come and take instruction from
the speechless w’isdom of our
mountain contemporary.
In every way that it has been
possible to show its preference
for Gudger during this campaign
the Citizen has not been slow to
act—only wanting the moral cour
age to take a stand editorially.
In all its reports of conventions,
in its delays in reporting condi
tions favoring other candidates,
its actions have been so glaringly
one sided that democrats over
this entire district are doubtful
whether it is a democratic paper,
and “actions speak louder than
words.’*
If a newspaper has any in
fluence it is its duty to use it in
the interest of the common people
—the trusts and millionaires are
amply able to care for their own.

A newspaper is not doing its
duty if it refrains from using its
influence to protect the people
from the schemes of politicians
and the demoralizing effects of
the use of booble. It is not doing
its duty unless it points out the
betterments which-will accrue to
the masses by the nomination
and election of one candidate hi
preference to another, before the
primaries are held. If the Citizen
is right in its position we can only
say that it stands alone.
Persons in Brevard who are pnt-
tinir ])lnnibini^ fixtures into tlieir
residences should hear in mind that
sewor ^as is one of the most dan
gerous disease breeders that medi
cal scii‘m‘0 has c'ver discov(‘r('d. It
is the duty of all, if they would
])rot(?ct the good name of our town
as a health resort, that tli(‘y ])ut in
only the most approved sanitary
fixtures and sewer connt'ctions.
And in this connection it miglit l)e
well to call the attention of our
Board of Aldermen to the nec(\ssity
of eni])loying a sanitary inspec'tor.
Health and sanitary conditions are
apt to be lost sight of for the ])altry
saA’in^ of a feAV dollars. Cheap
work is seldom i?ood work.
