j "The average Tarheel farmer has

lis to plant another set of crops in

Mr. Bryan
(New York Tines.|
William Jem ags Biyan had lived
in such a con-..ant i int. blaze
of publicity for the past thirty years;
his career had been so often review
ed; his personally and character had
become so fixed in the popular jiulg
mi-lit. that his sudden death calls for
little except acknowledgment of the
extnnirdinai'v pi i.-e witch he occu
pied in our politics. He had, it is
true, outlived his chief fame. Even
before the Demon at ic National Con
vention of last y.-ar and his recent
display tit Dayton, it was evident
| that the vibrant eie-rgy • f other days
was failing him. His wonted (ires
hurned but they burned manifestly
low. He was no longer the man who
first burst upon tii% American people
in his amazing campaign for the
Presidency of P-'.'d; wi. ■ then pro
•deil to estabii-h a tyrannical con
trol of the Democratic l'..rty, and
who kept himself in the public eye
'by eloquent spot he- and political
audacities and vagaries.
D was Mr. Asquith who, aft--r cn
; versing with Mr. Bryan in England,
said, in elVeet, that he though: such a
public man could have l« en produ ed
nowhere but in tHe I'nited States.
: If in this there lurked a double mean
j ing. it none the less* eoiitained a
! truth. We have to hear it in mind
whether we think of Mr. Bryan's
mistakes and perversities or of his
good qualities. As he was. America

j Raleigh, Aug. 3.—The twenty
! third annual convention of farmers
; and farm women which met tit Stat

| success by the leading farmers who
' attended.
The total enrollment approached
closely the 1,500 mark with over
1,300 being registered at the College
for rooms. Of this number nearly
000 were women. The college din
ing hail fed an average of about
j 1,000 guests at each meal at it cost
to the visitors of 25 cents per meal
! and served good fare, well cooked
! and satisfying.
The whole tenor of the Convention
was forward looking. President 1!.
IC. Brooks sounded a note of optim
; ism about good farming in the State
| in his opening address and the same
j thought was carried forward in the
! many discussions and talks which
followed.
