Charlotte throws wide her doors to the visiting editors and her citizens with one accord extend them a wel come. Today the city is filled with visiting delegates to the North Caro lina Press Association Convention, which will be in session through to morrow. From every part of the state mem bers of the honorable fraternity have come. Controversies during the past year, differences of opinion are for gotten and the spirit of good fellow ship and fraternity is dominant. The News trusts the sojourn of the editors in the Queen City will be pleasant as well as profitable. It has been a long time since some of them were here, and, no doubt, many of them have never before visited the "best city of the state. To these a fair idea of the growth of the state will be shown by the bustle and progress going on here. The program arranged for the press convention is unusually interesting, and it will not do to miss any of the proceedings. The meeting this year will be the best in the history of the association and again we express, for the city, a hearty and sincere welcome to every mother's son of the editors. SIR HENRY CAMPBELL BANNER MAN. .Press dispatches of the early morn ing announce the death of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, who has for many years stood as one of the fore most figures in the political life . of Great Britain. In the year 1868 he entered parlia ment and. from that time his has been a powerful influence in shaping the policies of that august legislative body. It will be recalled that only a few -weeks ago Sir Henry was forc ed to resign from the premiership be cause of failing health. 1 For years closely affiliated with Gladstone and the brightest lights of England, and with a grip on th con- kho w u J UA luc lume duuubt unprecendented, Sir Henry long ago) won a place in British political life which it will be difficult to fill. In his death England loses one of her ablest and most worthy sons. The esteemed Spartanburg Journal has a decidedly novel and altogether inexpensive way of giving it's readers the benefit of pictures of men promi nent in the public eye it simply runs the same cut for each one, merely changing the name under the photograph. The Journal genius. is The Queen Cily apologizes to the editors for her - resent rather dis heveled appearan . She had order- cu a utw uiiuni ic gown, a merry- Widow-sky-scraper and numerous otner accessories to her wardrobe but the blooming dressmaker delayed tne wnoie thing. Gentlemen, you'll simply have to come again. says the Augusta Herald: "A tnier in cnanotte wno stole a pair of trousers, escaped by running through police barracks. Charlotte cops must be slow to get into action." But, to their credit let it be said, they do "get into action" which is r.otx al ways the case in some other cities we might name, if we chose. No doubt Senator Simmons chose the subject "The White House and Democracy" for his New York ad dress for the contrast the term sug gested. The New York Mail wants know, "Why are they called Merry widow hats?" Entirely too easy to waste time on. The death gasp or tne ant is as the roar of cannon to the noise ema nating from the big stick just now. A . . With the Brownsville muddle it is another case or "ine lxmger you chew it the bigger it gets." A You can sometimes judge by the noise hemakes -at game. Jictof 2 for the Hornets. a man a ball AN INDIVIDUAL WORK. J Almost every day we run across ar ticles in the various exchanges urging the work of civic improvement. The agitation is becoming " wide spread and there are very few towns and cities in this section that have not caught the infection. From the batch of articles on this subject we take the following from the Union Republican, published at Winston-Salem, which is worthy of close consideration: "A great deal is being said in the papers just now about civic improve ment clubs, whose object is to, im prove and beautify the appearance of a community. Talk is cheap and suggestions too frequently fall into unheeding ears. Let us look at the matter in a practical business way, whether we live in a town, a city or the country. The object of civic im provement is general in its nature and while it may be frequently applied to places more or less public let us get nearer home and make it individual and applicable to every property own er. The spirit is contagious in. its na ture. When one person begins to tidy up his premises, plant shrubery, flow ers, etc., his neighbors are pretty apt to soon follow suit and the result is neater and more attractive looking homes, and to The Republican, is civic improvement in its broadest sense. The above applies not only to Winston-Salem and Forsyth county, but in every home and community where The Republican is read, and while civic im provement has all seasons for its own, in the happy spring time nature sets us an impressive example as in re sponse to warmer weather, gentle breezes and refreshing showers it as sumes its dress of buds and blossom ing flowers and robe of living green. The esteemed Richmond News Lead er yuotes a Kansas paper, as saying, "We want eggs and we want them bad." Must be enjoying a season of bum shows. The "merry widow" hat may aid in supplying the much-to-be-desired "mer ry widow" feeling. Nothing faulty in the general appear ance of that bunch of editors. How would you like to be the um pire? Blessed is the un-cussed umpire. THE MAN AND HIS JOB. By Herbert J. Hapgood. We have heard a good deal of talk not only lately but for years past about the cigarette fiend. He is pointed out to us as a horrible example for the rising generation, and a fit synonym for failure itself. Everybody knows that too many cigarettes are bad for a man. They decrease his physical efficiency, lessen bis capability, and tend to lower the standard of his moral ideals. Strange to say, however, we have" centered our attacks on the "cigarette" rather than upon the "fiend." As a matter of fact, if a man is a cigarette fiend the chances are if cigarettes through some miracle were eliminated, we would find him some other kind of fiend. A man can do himself just as much harm eating too many cream puffs or chocolate eclaires, as he can by smoking too many cigarettes. It seems to me that the evil lies not so much in the use of cigarettes, as. in the abuse of the habit by carrying it to excess. Aside from the virtue or vice which lies inherently in the cigarette habit, there are certain obligations . expected from every man on the assumption that he is a gentleman. If cigarettes are offensive to the people with whom he would associate, it is no more than courtesy to resist the desire to smoke. If your employer objects to it, it is only discreet that you give up the habit. Cigarette smoking, like .everything else, resolves itself into a question of common sense and courtesy. By the application of one, and persistent striv ing after the other, you will firid that all of these problems will solve them selves. The Vaudeville Show X Was a Great Success The high-class vaudeville entertain ment at the Academy of Music last night, which was given under the direc tion of Mrs. E. C. Register and Mrs. James L. Sexton, was thoroughly en joyed. by an audience which nearly fill ed the playhouse. Each feature of the show was enthusiastically applauded, and many rounds of hand-clapping came from the veterans scattered through the audience. The entertain ment was a source of great pleasure to them."- They enjoyed it from first to last, especially the camp scenes, which took their memories back to stirring times of the war which they had brave ly sturggled. The young ladies who took part in the play acquitted themselves splendid ly.. Many of them showed natural tal ent, while every feature of the entire performance portrayed thorough train ing. The solos and chorus numbers were unusually good. The entire pro gram was meritorious and the appreci ation of the audience was evidenced by many encores. The proceeds derived from the performance will be devoted to the veterans of the city and county who are inneedy circumstances.

Politics And Politicians Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to Great Britain, is said to cherish an ambition to close his career as sec retary of state. Friends of James G. McGuire, who was an unsuccessful candidate for gov ernor of California in 1898, are endeav oring to persuade him to become a candidate for' congress in the Fourth California district, in opposition to Julius Kahn. In the recent elections in Texas three women were elected to important offices. One of them was elected as sessor and collector of taxes for Pal estine, and the two others were elect ed members of the board of education of Dallas.

Friends of John W. Kern, who was indorsed by the recent state conven tion in Indiana for the nomination as vice-president, are sending letters to democrats throughout the country urg ing them to get instructions for Kern at their state convention. He is repre sented as a close friend of Bryan and certain to make a favorable impres sion. Judge E. K. Cheadle has announced his candidacy for the republican nomi nation for governor of Montana.

E. Swearingen, a blind preacher at the South Carolina Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, has announced his candidacy for state superintendent of education of South Carolina.

Several score of well known demo crats of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland have formed the George Gray League to work for the nomination of Judge Gray of Dela ware for president.

Seaborn Wright, who, it is said, will be nominated for president by the pro hibitionists at their national conven tion in Columbus next July, is one of the leading advocates of prohibition in the south, though a democrat. For 20 years a member of the Georgia leg islature, he drafted the state prohibi tion law and led the fight that resulted in the law's adoption. In 1896 Mr. Wright was the populist candidate for governor of Georgia. Richard T. O'Connor, the manager of Governor Johnson's campaign for the presidential nomination, is 50 years old and a native of St. Paul. After at tending Notre Dame University for a year or two he began his career at the age of 16 as a collector for James J. Hill, who was then in the coal and wood business in St. Paul. This con nection with the great railroad mag nate continued until three years ago, when there was an open rupture be tween the two over a matter that con cerned both the business and political interests of Mr. Hill. Though active in politics for a number of years, Mr. O'Connpr has never held any important public office. He is as shrewd in busi ness as in politics and his friends es timate his wealth at a million dollar or more. You'll not find beauty in a rouge-pot or complexion whitewash.
