The trouble is you can't always tell
what kind of education the fruitage will

of ideas and impressions. These impres

Weldon Roanoke News.
There is no lon.srer ou the maps of
the Seaboard Air Line Sailway such
a place as Gaston. The live, bustling
little town of Thelma has taken its
Slaee, and passengers on the old
.aleigh & Gaston road will no longer
hear the old familiar etation called
out by conductors and porters.
Lo"ST years airo, when strap iron
was nailed to wooden rails, Gaston
was the terminus of the Kaleigu and
Gaston railroad, and there was a
litttle branch of the reteraburg and
Weldon road which branched off at
Ilicksford, now Emporia, and con
nected with the Raleigh nud Gaston,
at Gaston. During the war the rail
road bridge at Gaston was burned
down by Confederate sohliers, to pre
vent the enemy from following, and
soon after the war, the bridge being
gone, and the Raleigh & Gaston hav
ing been extended to Weldon, the
track on the Ilicksford and Gaston
branch was taken up and the right
of way abandoned.
Several j'ears ago the Seaboard
Air Line straightened its track at
Gaston, to avoid the heavy grade
on tue long curve, leaving the old
town of Gaston on the river to deso
lation, and established a new Gaston
on the brow of the hill. At this time
Messrs, Ilamill Bros., two enter
prising young men, who had a eoun
try store and a country postollice,
which one of their sisters -named
Thelma, conducted, moved to new
Gaston. They built a good store
house and later a handsome dwelling
and had their postoffiee moved to
that place. Now the railroad peo
ple have adopted the name, droppei
Gaston from their maps and time
tables and passengers over the road
will soon become familiar with the
name of Thelma.

News and Observer.
The Republicans criticize the Dem
ocratic party because it created the
new office of insurance Commissioner.
The Democrats did create the office
and pay the Commissioner 2,000
salary and pay 1,000 for clerical
assistance. Refore that time the
State let the Secretary of the State
attend to insurance matters and
gave him a 1,000 clerk. The result
of the creation of the new office has
been a good thing for the tax-payers.
In 1898, the last year of the term of
Cvrus Thompson, Secretary of State,
who had charge of the insurance bus
iness, the receipts were .$84,879.28.
The amounts collected since, under
Democratic control, by the Insurance j
Department and paid into the State
Treasury were:
For year 1899 : f 92,8(io.21
For vear 1900 91,077.92
For year 1901 132,034.03
For year 1902 153.CG7.12
For year 1903 174,633.00 j
Total in five years $014,272.88 j
The Commissioner is paid a salary
of 2,000 per annum and allowed
1.G00 for clerical help, which can
onlv be used for this purpose, making
the cost ol the Department o,ouu
per annum. During the five years of
the Department the Commissioner
has collected and paid to the State
Treasurer of the class of fees forroerly
allowed the Secretary of State for bis
services in this behalf, as follows:
For year 1899 9,184.00
For year 1900 5,731.50
For year 1901
For yearly "'AYX
For year iyuf i-w
Total in five years $ 50,050.50
Thus it will be seen that taking off
the salary allowed the Commissioner
for the five years there is left a bal
ance of $40,006.50 saved to the
State out of the class of fees formerly
allowed the Secretary of State as his
salary for looking alter insurance
companies. The amount now col
lected and paid into the State Treas
ury of this class ot tees amounts an
nually to about double tlie whole
cost of the Department.
Is under the same skillful management. Miss Stewart, who gave so much satisfaction to the ladies the past
season, is with us again this season, a fact which we are sure will be hailedwith pleasure by her patrons.

A little simple subtraction shows
an increase of $187,000,000 in three
items alone in seven years, leaving
out pensions, the Panama purchase
and all otherextraordiuary expenses.
Are these expenditures "imagi
nary?" .Mr. Roosevelt says: "Our oppon
ents contend that the government is
now administered extravagantly,
and that whereas there was 'a sur
plus of 80,000,000 in 1900, there
was u deficit ot more than ?4'J,uuu,
000 in the year that has just closed.'
This deficit is imaginary and is ob
tained by including in the ordinar'
expenses the Hum of fifty millions
which was paid for the right of way
of the Panama canal out of the ac
cumulated surplus in the treasury."
I a deficit "imaginary" if it really
exists? Hut deficits continue. The
expenditures for Julv and August,
190i exceed receipts by about $21,-
000,000.
t Is this deficit "imaginary," too?

of the law department of Yalo Uni

"Since he became President he has
shown, not only by his treatment of
Panama and by his action iu the

tatorial assumption of authority in

such a disregard of the limitation of

men to distrust his wisdom. It is
this distrust whicu, perhaps more
than any other reason, has led the

most without exception, to pro
nounce against him in this campaign
and to regard him as a dangerous
