Nor can the combined efforts of the admin istration effect a break in the solid front of democracy. When this lesson is learned we may be excused from these gentle minis trations of long distance advice. Qur good friend Morehead, having caught the infection from Mr. Taft, sought to coax Tar Heel demc#crats from the ancient moorings. He pro posed to give us a “respectable repub lican party,” and sagely counsel his fellow countrymen to desert their nar row ideas, and join the Advanced Movement for the Dissolution of Demo cratic Strongholds. But somehow or other the first instrument of fumiga tion was Butler, and for some strange Solid South” movement into a cOcked, In fact they knocked the “Break the Solid South” movement into a cocTced hat and piled up a bigger majority against the idea than ever before. Some day our friends will leam.that a conviction based upon reason and honesty of purpose c'annot easily be uprooted. ♦ ♦ e- o ► ♦ > ♦ ► r- Ills are transient, woes are flitting, soon they’ll all be with :iie i'a>i.

On is illus trated and has to do with the tremen dous work at Great Falls by the Southern Power Company. The other treats of the new plant at Great Falls for the making of fertilizer from the air. Both are highly interesting, and were written for the Columbia State by City Editor William Banks. They are reproduced through courtesy of The State. Few of us realize the wonderful development going on in this section. These two stories, and otliers to come later, will give the reader a fair idea of the immensity of the electrical development worli un- dertak|n and accomplished by this one Charlotte concern alone. Think of it—a deadlock in the D. A. R. election! ^ WALT MASON. ♦> ^ (Copyright. 1911, by George ♦ Matthew Adams.) RADIANT REFLECTIONS. ♦ ♦ By Henry Blount. ♦ THE ‘•TWO-PARTY SYSTEM” Before the South Carolina Bar As- Eociatlon Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh took occasion to chide the South because of the fact that it has chmg tenaciously through the years l>ast, to one parly. Repeatedly he as serted that in advising the South to adopt the ‘‘two-party system” he was working in the interest of no particular party. Of course not. None of them are, from the president down, who pe riodically remind the South of this “long-felt need.” Still we are in clined to wonder if we shoud continue to fall victim to these gentle ministra tions if. forpooth, the one party we cleave to down here was called “Re publican” instead of “Democratic.” We are stirred with even greater wonder when we reflect how our ad visers discriminate In our favor, and have never a capsule of advice to ad-' mini'!' r rhe North, which is suffering equally from the blight of “one-party” rule. For some strange reason our cablnet-member-entertainers never feel called ujion, from sweet consistency’s sake, to chide the North because it btlck.s tonaciously to one party. The vailed insinuation, occasionally cast oiit by the president and his co conspirators, against the democratic tolidarlty of Dixie, that the one party system is the relic of sectional preju dice is a slander upon an Intelligent people which cannot be pardoned, even when accompanied with the^im- itable smile. It somehow never occurred to Mr. Taft, Mr. MacVeagh and their asso ciates that perhaps In deciding the “one-party” system the South was equally conscientious, sincere and In> telllgent with the North which long ago espoused the same system under a different name. The average southerner does not vot« the democratic ticket simply be cause his “daddy” did. Nor is his vote inspired by “sectional narrow ness.” On the contrary, after studying carefnlly the principles of both the great parties, he has decided that democracy comes nearer his Ideas of free government than republicanism and consequently his persistent demo cratic vote. No doubt the same sincer ity characterized the North In arriv ing at a verdict In faror of the G. O. P. Mr. Mac'Veagh Is an able gentleman and an expert upon matters pertaining to banking and finance. It is rather •urrrlsing that he should take the occaalon of a ban-Isters’ meeting to disseminate a package of political ad vice. The man w'ho cut his throat with a sythe is no mower. « • • Yes, Pansy dear, at the grave the high and the low come to a “dead level.” » • « Yes, Indeed, there is Indeed some color to the report of a paint trust. • • * "Wlien they formed the coffin trust it really did seem they were “running the thing in the ground.” « « » The plumber is that happy and Joy ous hearted m^n who “pipes a lay” as he lays a pipe. • * « And now, the brilliant and pungent Pansey says that it is indeed a very w'eak, lame river that cannot “take up its bed and walk.” « « « The most beautiful sign of wisdom Is that joyously painted rainbow of perpetual cheerfulness and content ment with your lot which spans your life and makes it lovely. • « * Flowers are the alphabet of angels, and with their fragrant letters they form those eloquent words that de scribe in their voiceless vernacular the beauties and the glories of Para dise. • * * Did It ever occur to you what great and tremendous changes can be wroiight by the very smallest things. A little comma can change horrid* manslaughter into man’s laughter, and the dropping of one letter can make a smile a mile. • * « There are various In-cent-ives for expressing the deep inward emotions of the heart and translating their throbbing into poetic ripples of en trancing beauty. Sometimes it is the outgushing of sweetest sentiment, and then again it is not, as will be seen from the mournful retrain of that un fortunate fellow who stepped upon a polecat and is his scent-imental mood thus wrote, the flowers will, blossom o’er the little green grave, where my coat and trousers now lie, and an old farmer tells me he thinks I can save, by digging for them in July. • * * If music is the heart throb of heav en, then the rare, sweet exquisite, soul lifting music that was heard In the Metjiodlst and Episcopal churches on Sunday must have been the sweetly mellowed echoes of its celestial puls ings and divinest creations, and so pure and so sweet and so heavenly were the strains that we almost fan cied that the angels in glory—the nur sery of melody and song—turned away from the strains their own God tuned harps were making, and listened with ecstatic rapture to those sublime mel- odies 'that came rippling in su^ch en trancing waves from those music lined lips on earth that could rival theirs In the sublimity of song.

To the Editor The News: The fight Is now on against the rav ages of this disease and the outlook is Indeed hopeful. i The number of deaths from tubercu losis is being reduced each year by the scientific laws of sanitary living and the campaign against this disease has and Is reducing the mortality rap idly as the result of education and the work being done against the dis ease. The establishment of sanitary law's to control its spread 'and the teaching of hygienic living, has cut down in the last several years its mortality greatly and restored to hap piness thousands of lives who other wise would be lost to the world. It is a germ disease, contagious, and transmitted by Infected air, infected food, infected clothing, and in houses and rooms that are not kept clean and thoroughly ventilated. If w-e live in the sun light, breathe the open air, avoid dark, damp, and crowded apart ments, keep our bodies clean and functions in good condition, we may throw off infection, and live free of its ravages. AVe no longer fear it as an inherited disease for we know it is only caught by tw'o intimate associil- tion with one of its victims. People who work in crowded shops and dark, stuffy rooms are more sus ceptible to infection. The germs reach in through infected food, and infected air and the streets, but the most of the disease is from close personal con tact with a diseased individual in the home, boarding house, and dust-laden shops or ofiices. WTiere you find 200 or 300 or more people at work, you will most likely find one or more con sumptive workers and if not careful other cases will' develop. The spitting habit should be abol ished, also the public drinking cup, and forbidding the sale of milk and other food stuffs from infected locali ties and infected persons or animals. Keep the sanitary condition as near perfect as possible, notification of the location of r cases and fumigating w^ell and frequently the homes having tu bercular inmates will help cut dowm the possible sources of spreading the disoaee. Spittoons, containing sOme form of’disinfectant shoitld be provid ed in all schools, hospitals, factories, theatres, public halls, and all places where people congregate and no one allowed to expectorate except in one of these receptacles. All hotels and boarding houses should be required to use white sheets and changed with each change of guests and if a tubercu lous person should occupy a room, it should be fumigated before another occupant is allowed in the room. Tuberculosis patients or inmates of hospitals, prisons, public houses, etc., should be isolated, and work shops, schools and business places should be very careful in employii^g persons know'n to have tuberculosis and if em ployed they should be required to ex ercise every precaution not to expose those with whom they mingle or asso ciate. Any person suffering with tu berculosis should be so unselfish and merciful to others that as soon as he is acquainted with his condition he should study how to protect, others from himself. He should in his home occupy a room by himself—his wife wife and children should never occupy the same room with him, separate drinking vessels, dishes, towels, and bed clothes should be provided for the sick one, sunshine and fresh air Is necessary, the observance promptly all of nature’s calls, and never neglect a slight cough but consult your doctor at once. Live soberly, cleanly, and temper ate in all things, regular In all your habits, and life w'ill be a pleasure in stead of a burden. F. O. HAWLEY, Supt. of Health. Charlotte, N.
