If Taft goes on the stump it will have to be a California one. Over in Reidsville a negro was hit on the head by lightning and killed. This shows what a powerful force lightning is. If Mr. Taft fiuds it as hard to break his new horse as it is to break the South he evidently has trouble mapped out for himself. .In The Ladies Home Journal a woman has an article on 1 'Why 1 wouldn't marry my husband again." We suspect the hus band could answer that in a few words. Salisbury, N. C., A turn in the affairs of the Gold Hill Copper Company, which was two weeks •go placed in the hands of B. B. Miller, of Salisbury, as temporary receiver, came today when Frank P. McDermott, of Elizabeth. N. J., was named as ancillary re-, eeiver and all properties were ordered into his custody. The plant, which has begn turning out a rich yield for years, is valued at about $500,000\ Able counsel have been employed by •ach side. Walter George Nlew ■»n, of New York, is the prftpe Mover in the matter. \ i THE OUTLOOK BY STATES Although it is yet too early in the fight for anyone, caring for his prophetic reputation to ven ture and positive predictions still the lowliest amateur if pro vided with clear vision, can ob serve the tendencies that point to Mr. Bryan's election. For the first time in decades the Democratic party is united and using common sense as well as oratory. And the Republicans not expecting such a thing are evidently aghast at the spectacle Everv meve they make brings votes to Bryan. An adding to the i. O, P. mistakes, the gooc moves of the Democrats a lay man may be excused if he feeH jubilant over the prospects. Minnesota is normally a Re publican State but for the lasl eight years the Democrats have elected their Governor is th person of John Johnson. Mr. Johi son made a national reputatioi for himself and was prominently mentioned for for President Last week the Democratic con vention stamped to him and i is a foregone conclusion that h will be Governor another term Incidentally it means that Min nesota's electoral vote will go t Bryan. In Illinois the Democrats hav named for Governor their ables manAdlai Stevenson. The Re publicans named Deneen whos opponent Yates declares he wil fight him at the Dolls. As a re suit it is a forogone conclusioi that Stevenson will win. In West Virginia the Republi cans have borrowed a Democrati habit—fighting among then: selves. There are two sets o Republican candidates for th State offices fighting an hating each other. The Demc crats have united and W. Virgin ia will be but another case o the fox carrying away the foo while the two chickes fight. In Ohio, Taft's own State, a: idiotic attempt to eliminate Foi aker has resulted in a negro bel and Republican defection. Jud son Harmon, the Democrati nominee, will almost certainl; win. " But in New York where unit; was most necessary damfoolisl: ness is most rampant, The Re pqblicans must choose betweei Hughes and a machine man. I Hughes the machine will knif them. If machine, then Hughe will knife them. No wonde Tamnany is grieving. 'Tis abt yuteful situation. Nature is Harness. Mme Nature, who for som 5,000 years past has been mas querading as the freest of wil Amazons and deigning to servi ind annoy mankind only in fleet ing instants while she posed fo: a picture or inspired a poem is now perforce compelled to laj away her wayward'ways, to doi conventional garb and help men work out his own salvation bj the light of the Almighty Dollar Here is a power that mankind covets, she has a thunderbolt that we fain would wield, sb has energy that we seek to trans form. Time was when we die our work, like our wrangling, bj main strength and awkwardness. I'hen iazier grown and wiser wc devastated the forests and delv ed in the earth for fuel to main tain the steam we had called tc our aid. But the forests are gone and coal is failing and we must needs seek other power. Thanks to one B. Franklin and his climbing kite we know both what we need and how to obtain it. Electricity is to be to the twen tieth century what steam was to the ninteenth. This can be obtain ed in many ways but chiefly through the water courses. No section of the country has a water power to campare with that of the South. And it is for this reason that the future center of manufacturing is to be the South and not the North, i The water sprites of Catawba river are now threatened to be harnessed and their gamboling ——■ ' - ■ ■■ I estopped. Theirs for the wheel I and distaff. Instead of laugh-1 ing waters we want working waters. Tis too much trouble to gather wood or mine coal; hence forth we'll 'een push the button and Jet nature do the rest. All this to happen if the new water power company is a success.

The Lutheran Synod held its annual picnic Saturday on the shady campus of Lenoir college The fact that it had been looked forward to for a long time insur ed an immense attendance. It was estimated that over one thousand people were present and took part in the various festivities. It was an allday af fair and at noon time a sumptious dinner was served and disposed of by the hungry crowd. In the afternoon prayer services were held and talks along different lines were made by various min isters. These were evidently as much enjoyed as the other fea tures of the day. Everybody had a good time. In the evening an exciting game of ball was played between Brookford and a local team. For eighteen years the Luth erans have held annual picnics here and this was one of th e best.. In the morning a most excel lent address was delivered in the college auditorium by Rev. E. C. Cronk, Field Publication secre tary of the Lutheran United Sy nod of the South. Rev. Cronk's subject was "Sunday School and j church musice.'' Also an inspir ing address was delivered by Dr. W. H. Greever, the brilliant editor of the Lutheran church visitor, on "Causes of our recent progress." ! The social;feature of the pic ' nic is of greitest importance anc 'each year it is more and mor 1 emphasized. 1 A most pleasant day was spen' together by friends, neighbors and brethren—Lutheran anc many of other churches. These gatherings are wortl much in every way. It is no time lost but time well spent We all rejoice that another anc greater picnic is appointed foi naxt year. Boy Hurt in Brookford 7 Last Sunday night one of Mr Jgf. Frys boys went to Brookfor to attend church. The younj man, who accompanied the Fr: boy went to take his sweethear home, and. the Fry boy was t wait for him at the store. Whil waiting there a number of boyi tried to run him off where upoi one of the Hefner boy's stabbe the Fry boy in four places. Thi wounds are serious but not fatal GYPSIES SCRAP. _ 1 One Lands in Calaboose. A band of gypsies are encamp ed out on the Moores Ferrv roa about two miles from town Their occupation while here i horse trading and other thing: of a nature more surreptitious Wednesday night the gypsy na tire broke loose in a free-for-al fight which was participated ii by men, women, babies, dogs baggage and all. As a resul one of the men with an unpro nounciable name is languishing in the Hickory calaboose, In the Police Court Circus day was a profitable in vestment as'far as, the town rev enues are concerned. Among the Conover visitors were J. Ed Simmons and C. R. Brady. The former imbibed too much of the flowing bowl and was taxed $5 and costs by the mayor. ' The latter paid the fine for the en joyment of resisting the officers. Calvin Wslde, of Blackville, was relieved on $3 and cost for some expansive cursword uttered in the exalted moments. Clyde Nail, white, and Frank Baker, colored, engraged in a fisticuf fing and later added $2 each and costs to the revenues. Facts About Advertising. ~ Lexington Dispatch. The Philadelphia Record says that more money is spent for ad vertising than in any other field of human endeavor. According to computations made the total investment in all forms of publi city ha 9 grown to a thousand mil lion dollars a year, which sum equals one per cent, of the entire wealth of the nation and nears the total value of all imports This investment sells over fifteen billion dollars worth of goods. The average cost of advertising is sl. for over sls. worth of stuf sold. And some folks don't thini advertising payes. - The annual picnic at Whitsett on Saturday attracted two thou sand people. Addresses wen made by Drs. G. H. Oetwiler anc S. B. Turrentine, Hon. Z. P Smith and Revs. J. D. Andrews and F. M. Hare. Music was furnished by an excellent brass band and several fine games of baseball were played. Hence These Tears. ' 'Let me kiss those tears away! he begged tenderly. She fell ii his arms, and he was busy foi the next few minutes. And ye i the tears flowed on. ''Can noth i ing stop them?" he asked breathlessly sad. "No," she murmured; "it' hay fever, you know.
