PAGE TWO BUSINESS PROPOSITION. The General Public Not Much Inter ested In Politic. We have had handed to us about : a column of pale blue prunes pur- pie prunes they may be about a cer tain candidate for office, with the re quest that we publish it. We polite ly returned the manuscript with the Information that al political matter except what we want to prepare our self and run as our own must be ac cepted only as political advertising, and plainly marked so and the charge for such service, to one and . all is the modest sum of ten cents per line. The general public isn't very much Interested in the individual fate ot Mr, Tom or Mr. Dick or Mr. Henry- because any of these gentlemen run ning for office will perhaps, if elect ed, make good. If they do not make good, even If we do not enjoy that heaven-born gift, the initiative, the referendum and recall, we can fire 'em out of office when they fail to do their sworn duty. Our space isn't so very valuable perhaps, but we do not want to fill It with puffery for this man or that it might make the other fellow mad. Ho therefore, beloved, remem ber, all of you and any of you want ing anything in this album of song, regarding your favorite, prepare the copy, writing on only one side of the paper, and bring it in not later than Wednesday for the current week, and accompany the manuscript with an order to run it so many times at ten cents per line each insertion. 1 -O Reminiscent.

CARR FOR GOVERNOR. Arthur Abernethy Hears The General And Is Charmed. Editor Everything I believe it was Everything that made the first announcement of Gen eral Julian S. Carr's intention to be come a candidate for governor of North Carolina, and I wish you might have been present at Ruther ford College on the occasion of Gen- eral Carr's commencement address, when you would have seen great cause for Justification of the popular clamor for this man. The modesty and traditional -reserve of the Rutherford College faculty prevented its exploitation ot General. Carr'e presence as an ad vertising medium, and thus pre vented the publicity that his really great address deserved. It would have been impossible for a man of General Carr's business acumen to have talked an hour and failed to introduce new and practical ideas of enterprise for the young graduates, but he did more. He revealed an honest and sincere interest in the welfare of the people of the state by pumic utterances which he could not have figured on as being popular with the classes but of great help to tne masses. And in this General Carr was a genuine and agreeable surprise to me. I am not a Democrat I am as in dependent in politics as I am in re ligion but I confess that after wit nessing the presence of General Julian S. Carr among the plain, mountain people, and his unstudied cordiality and chivalrous courtesy, I should feel myself traitor to every sense of appreciation should I not be among those to favor and labor zeal ously for bis election. I know a political fawner from a publicist. My twelve years'' exper ience as a Philadelphia and New York newspaper editorial writer have trained my vision to scan a heeler and distinguish him from a man who Is sincerely in earnest until I can smell a political trickster a mile off. If General Carr is not a liberal, big Bouled, honorable, man-loving gen tleman, then they are not made that's all. He made himself as thoroughly at home with the poor mountain peo ple as unstudiedly free and friend ly among them as if it hurl hcon his experience to have spent a life- lime among them. One of the most graceful things I ever saw was bis cutting his speech short to visit the uome or an invalid daughter of an oia dead ,inend of his. while th political seers were crowding around him begging him to accept their hos pitality, i saw him sitting on the porcn taiKing witn a crowd of work ing men and their wives and chil- oren witn nis back turned on a. eath. ering of the so-called authorities in rne political ranks, and he had no more idea or playing politics in iuau no una 01 taxing wings, i re marked to him that when the com in 11 ikk naa invued mm they were at a loss as to how to entertain him knowing him to be a man of great weuuu una tney 'Deing but plain poor folk. His makinsr-himself-ns.nna.nf. them so easily and unostentatiously The Durham Post Office, I see they are having a great time In Durham over the post-office. It looked to me like Jim Robinson should have had it but Lunsford and others had greater claims the politicians said, on the "party" and several delegations visited Washington. The thing got very warm, and Major Stedman was rath er puzzled what to do but because Victor Bryant dipped in it is said that settled the matter. Victor Bry ant was spoken of as a candidate and because he kept out of the fight of course the Major would listen, at least, to his wise counsel. When I went to Durham some twenty odd years ago Colonel W. A. AiuriKni was postmaster. He was a republican, and a good citizen. He made an efficient officer and when Cleveland came into power there was a hungry horde of office-seekers from everywhere, and Durham was no better In that regard than other towns in the I nion. The post-office light got to be the attraction. No use now to mention names, but the fight was bitter. And I helped make it more bitter. Buck Blackwell. then down and out, was a candidate, and he had but rew friends. I took a fancy to him and concluded that I could play a card. I accordingly 'went after" my old friend Henry Reams and others wrote an article that curled hair and had my friend Frank Hatton, editor of the Washington Post write a col umn about the post-office and the danger of a war that might be quot ing tne sanguinary Durham Dallv Globe. This meant that Old Man Cleveland would see it: it meant that my friend J. Sterling Morton, Secre tary of Agriculture could have an excuse to mention the matter to ueveland and it wasn't long until duck macKweii was aDoointed. l still have the correspondence be tween J. Sterling Morton and mvself it is very interesting. He was an id man, a smooth nolitician and h toid me now to work the cards. The cards fen face up four aces on th snow down. There were few people who ever Knew now old Buck got in but he got in and made a eood ttnst-mmiter He wrote me a letter thanking me for wnac i nao done; was my friend al ways, ann never ungrateful. But that was one time when a cabinet of- ncer from another state; a cabinet officer who didn't know the man, ex cept by reputation suggested to the. resident what to do and hn dirt it The Frank Hatton editorial the interest in Washington and we put it over. And the fact that Buck Blackwell had as big a funeral as was ever held In Durham; the fact that he made good as a post-master and th fact that he was pleased because of the recognition after he had lost his for tune and his power made the stunt worm while. ACCORDING TO MB. HODGIN. Some People Do Not Appreciate ( Kind Treatment, He Says. i aon i snow wnetner It pays to be too considerate, and too lenient towards people In matters of busi ness," said Mr. Hodgln, ot the Gull ford Hardware Company, "some times I think people do not appre ciate real kindness. It a fellow owes me money I don't want to sell his nogs or bis mules or put any diffi culty in the way of his making living. I like to believe that all men are honest in their intentions and that they will pay their debts if they can. sometimes I get fooled, of course. A fellow that I know real well comes alone, nuts un a hard luck story, pays something on his ac count and promises to settle In full at an early date. After waiting reasonnoie time and seeing that he has failed to make good, I begin to uivesugaie anu nna that he has put all his property In his wife's name and nas forgotten all about me. It is pretty hard not to lose faith, continued Mr. Hodgln, "but I had rather lose a debt occasionally than io nave it said that I was hard and grasping. The Guilford Hardware Company has always enjoyed a rep utation for treating its customers right, and if they do not treat us right that Is up to them we try io ei me ma good example." A Horrible Murder. it had completely taken them off their ieet. tie said: Why, that surprises me. I havs always been a plain liver and I like me piain lire." une thing is certain: If the babies could vote General Carr would be iirraioent. And babies are the best judges or men after all. Those up this way wan warn tnv. ored with his presence didn't want to let the General leave and it was a oignt mat louened me to see my own crying after the intreprid old chival rous hero of the Sixties, as he wend- ea nis way from my old home while tub oany cried for him as if it had known him always. General Carr is a great man. He measures up more and more to the statue of true manliness and every day heroism that we need in polit ical and personal life, and I am one wno nopes mat he will be the next Bu.ciuui, ana i snail vote for him though I have not voted for a Dem ocrat for governor In a mighty long t Arthur Talmage Abernethy. . I1??0rd ColIee. N- C., May 19, 1 9X4. Since the above was Dut In tvn the telegraph says that J. Otho Lunefrod has been appointed nost- iimHier at uurnam that Lunsford was the candidate General Carr ooostea witn persistency, Well, that doesn't disturh m. an Otho Lunsford was a kid when I was aoing tnmgs in black and white in Durham he was looking at the nlo iure papers wnen Buck Blackwell was appointed, or, would have been, una mere peen any picture papers in inose oays and his father, Pat Lunsford, held a county office and was one or tne best liked men Dur ham county ever held. -viy idea was, however, that Jim xiooinson snould have had the place Jim is capable; Jim earned it. There is sucn a thing as a man earning a itrvvaru. If the little boy is good, his moth er will promise him a piece of cake. it ne win bring in wood, milk the cow, noe the garden, kiss his little sister and wash his dirty face, his mother will promise him a lump of sugar or a piece of cake and that is earning the reward. And so I figured that if a demo crat, is always a democrat; if he runs a newspaper for twenty vears an1 gets nothing out of It but promises to pay and the glory that is not worth over ten cents on the dollar- If he whoops it un In season and nut of season for his party looked to me like he should at least be-promised a piece of pie if th era wna a nv Pie. Democratic pie hasn't bean aoie in tne cupboard for many years. Only three times since I commenced to chew tobacco .and Jim Roblnaon u getting along in years the same as you or I and I thought here was a chance to reward Jim. I didn't go to Washington to see about it; r didn't ask the Major to appoint him it n-asn t any of my kettle of eels thav were skinning but I regret, with perfect satisfaction because Otho L,unsrord is appointed yet I regret that Jim was turned down. I am also glad the Malnr nnrmtnt- ed a competent man; I am glad that Durham will be satisled with the re sult, and I hone that someway nr other the Major will try tn find thing for Jim to do that would give him a vacation from his eternal grind on the newspaper. .A Charlotte merchant was brutal ly murdered one day this week a oung tool beat him over the head with a gas pipe, robbed him, went iu a nouse ot in reputation, and with his hands bloody and about $40 in money quarreled with the spotted woman. She notified the police and so qulca:y the jig was up mm me murderer that he will never nanny Know how it happened. Strange what men will do for a Ut ile money . O To Get Together. It is now the hope of Chairman Morehead to get the Taftites and Teddyites together in North Carolina and pull off a stunt this fall. The chance of republican in .win Carolina Is nothing. Demo cracy mis ran win go through with wild whoop. The republicans can get together for this election. Too mucn Bitterness. By 1916 they may heal the wounds. However It would be refreshing to ee me republicans try jt. They would be pounded far into the broad eann s sunace. They would be Planted lor fair. I he democratic party in North Carolina is together. The republican party in North Carolina is hopelessly divided. To make believe that the recreant members had kissed and made up would be like a wild cat woman and a wild cat man agreeing to keep the peace in 1 order to save aumony. The Horne Monument. The Ashley Horne Monument to Confederate women will be unveiled in Raielgh June 10th, and the Con federate Veterans from all over the state will go to Raleigh. Too bad that Colonel Ashley Horne cannot be there; too bad that he died before he saw the monument which he so cheerfully gave to the honor of the Southern women. But it will be there, and all will remember Ashley Home. Grand old man he was pure gold. o Mr. Nolen certainly knows how l city should be built to look beauti ful and save the curves.

Nothing but the fact that 30,000 people occupy it. Advocate liberal expenditure for public facilities, and contrib ute liberally to the support of the Chamber of Commerce that these desirable facilities may be mnrtrt known to the World, and every one from highest to loVest will reap a rich reward. How many more people would Ibe added to our population if every citizen who smokes, insisted oh having Greensboro made cig ars. How many more store rooms would he occupied and how many more clerks and other employes would he required If all the goods purchased by Greeneboro citizens were purchased from Greensboro merchants. When you purchase goods from merchants in other cities, you are probably paying more for tbe same giade of goods delivered at your door than you would pay if purchased from Greensboro mer chants iind are doing your neigh bors, friends and yourself a di rect injustice. How much Greensboro made furniture is in Greensboro homes and offices? Do fnctorles in other cities pay taxes in Greensboro, and thus help to maintain our schools. water works, streets, parks, etc. Do they furnish employment to your neighbors and friends?
