Morehead Replies to a Suggestion with Regard to the Position of State Chairman Writing under date July 14, President Robertson of the Holt-Granite Manufacturing Co. of Haw River asked Congressman J. M. Morehead to allow his (Morehead's) name to be brought before the republican state conven tion for the position of state chairman. In reply to this letter Mr. Morehead said that the mat ter had been discussed by a number of persons from var ious parts of the state on the ground that a departure from former stereotyped methods would enable the party to ap peal successfully to an influential element in the state which, while mentally in sympahy with our tenets, has for various reasons had been voting against us. Continu ing, Mr. Morehead said : Opportunities Unused Editor Time.-: As Mr. Weeks said at the. audi torium last Friday night while singing his Castoria song, "I am not paid for this advertisement'' if such it be; neither have I been asked to write it; nor am I accus tomed to rush into print and ad dress my fellow townsmen; but, I feel constrained to express regret that so few people attend the very excellent entertainment provided for us at such low cost at the audi torium. "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest 1 ml i men. is as "Being a minority party, we must attract and welcome recruits to be come a majority, and anything that accomplishes that result should find favor in the mind of every loyal republican. "While I have no personal liking for the undertaking or the position, if it should be the sense of our con vention that they desire to make me the chairman, I would accept the honor and exert my greatest endeavor in the coming elections in behalf of the success of the party which I believe to be the exponent of progress and development. "The foundation and basis of my interest in politics is neither the holding of office nor selfish ambi tion. I have neither the desire for office nor ambition to become a po litical "factor" in the party in our state; but I am intensely interested that North Carolina be , the first state south of the Potomac to cast its electoral vote for the republi can presidential nominee and there by be the first to break the "Solid South." "Such action on the part of our commonwealth would be the ser vice of notice to the world that, while we treasured and glorified in our past, we lived in the present and would no longer lend a yielding ear to political spell-binders, who unable to refute the facts and logic of our phenomenal national growth and development, are forced to ap peal to tradition and prejudice to perpetuate a regime of political serfdom. "North Carolina's going republi can for the National ticket would be an advertisement and an earnest of progress and indspendence on her part, the effect of which cannot be over-estimated (in my opinion) in the matter of our national and industrial development. "We have everything within the borders of the state and at our very hands, save political independence. "With that gained, as it unques tionably will be, we will grow and develop beyond our most optimistic hope." A Valuab 16 resentativ6 One of Hendersonville's best known and most highly respected summer visitors, a man who has a wide acquaintance with various sections of this country and with leading politicians in all parties, was speaking a day or two &go to a representative of this paper, and the conversation drifted around to political matters. After discussing Presidents, cabinet ministers, sena tors and others who loom t large on the political horizon, our friend said: "There is one man in public life for whom I have an exceptionally hign regard, and that is that unas suming man. Grant, whom you people have sent to congress. Grant is a first-class man; he has really great ability, sound sense and good judgment. The way he has worked for the district is admirable. He stands high with the administra tion. I don't know what your people here mean to do; but in my old home if we had a man like that, a man who had done for our town what Grant has done for this town, almost everybody in the county, regardless of political lines, would vote to send him back to Washing ington. "Granthas certainly made good. He believes in taking . care of his district" Mrs. Tucker and Mrs. Lucas from South Carolina are visiting Mrs M. L. Read. A Voice from Edneyville Editor Times: I want to sav a few words in your valuable paper. I am now 66 years old and have never seen times so prosperous as they are at present Everything seems on a boon, finan cial and political. I think we have the best set of officers as good as we ever had. Hon. J. G. Grant has made a good record for the dis trict and our county board of com missioners have done exceedingly well. It makes me proud to think that our county is getting in as good condition as it is when you can hear it said by one, "I don't have to shave my ticket now, our com missioners have got our county in better shape". I think we have officers that we need not be ashamed of and what I want to say is that I hope the re publican party will nominate them again or others as good and that we may all stand as a unit. I have seen very near all the voters of this (Edneyville) township and all seem to be pleased that I heard speak of our present officers. So let us all work together and keep right on our side and have no divis ion and elect aur ticket from first to last. G. W. Ldbetter.

Of Interest to Farmers The democrats can only profit by republican betrayal of the republi can cause. They have no thr hope on earth than that which they gain through hope for treason in the republican camp. How can a democrat gr out and persuade a farmer to vote the democratic ticket when the fanner knows that during the last democratic administration a 250 pound hog could be exchang ed for only 150 pounds of granu lated sugar, whereas a hog of the same weight to-day will brmg 500 pounds of the same kind of sugar. The right sort of pleasure ! And the same comparison can be much of an essential to a I made with calico and woolen goods healthy life as anything else. We and everything a farmer has to buy. have complained in the past that so Fifteen years ago it took 110 bush- little amusement was provided for us. Now that it is provided we fail to take advantage of it. It must be humiliating to the man agement to see but a score of people scattered through so large a hall as the auditorium, and also humiliat ing to such excellent artists as the Weeks. When these shows cease because of lack of support then Ave shall all complain and probably abuse the management. Let us arouse ourselves before it is too late and occasionally patronize the ex cellent entertainment provided for us in a cool comfortable building. Yours truly, R N. Willcox. els of wheat to get a farm wagon; to day 62 bushels, or one load of wheat, will pay for a wagon. Fif teen years ago the banks controlled the farmers; to-day the farmers control the banks, and these changes have come to pass under the reign of the republican party. It seems to me, the only question is whether we can keep our heads and avoid being made dizzy by' the force and power of the progress being made. Senator Carter.
