Tf.e A Seville Times U highly ex cited or Buncombe finances. We suppose the Record could tear its shiit uhuiit Catawba county finance, but tl...t U not our sort of fun. The tfood newspapers that you read enjoy .1 patronage that enables them to buy what they want. There ia not u newspaper anywhere whose makers do not want it to be better. Vvn't forget that the Record has arranged to Set the returns on elect ion night. If yu can't come, you can j.hone. Jt is expected that, owing to the larger vole this time, the election official?) will be much later in mak ing their returns and it will be near midnight before much reliable news U received. Mr. Edgar Whitener of High Point, after inspecting the cemetery som time azo writes the Record that the condition of thla p'.ace should be improved. That was the conclusion reached by Hickory people and it has feitdUd in aHion by the Community club and the appointment of a ceme tery commission vested with power and tlotied with money. The ceme tery will be improved. Attorney General Palmer has ask ed the ootid mayor of San Francis co to fubmit proof that the attorney general knew that 40 barrels of beozu were taken from bonded ware houses and furnished the Democratic dfcltes at the San Francisco con vention. Why didn't the gentleman holler when they were drijiking hid liquor? That was last June. The Record haj heard of no complaints of drought at either convention. llULciy people will give a cordial welcome to Captain Williams tomor row nifbt when he speaks at the Hub theatre. A cn of Air. and Mrs. F. M. William: of Newton, he early develop ed qualitic-a that have made him a leader of men. In hi college days he wa both athlete, student and debater find fcone of the finest achievements of Uie University in the debating field ehutet' around his name. Mr. Willki.iM has no many persona1 frfcuda in the county that he is ur to be kept busy whil he is among; them. THE PRICE OF COAL Coal is retailing in various North Carolina cities at from $13 to $17 a ton, we believe, which is twice as much as was the case last year and thre times as much as a few years ago. tomewhere between the pits nd the consumer an awful price is bein exacted from the American publie. Attorney General Palmer has in dicated that lie will investigate coal prices at the source, and the associ ation of coal dealers has declared tbfie is plenty of coal and it ought to be much cheaper. The Record trusts that Mr. Palmer and hi agents will find out the number of brokers, who do not dig coal or own mines, that ore taking u profit on each ton of fuel. There is no sense or fairness in making the American public pay out- l-apeou? prices for fuel that belongs u ttiivjv tuuiuij. si. icaauuauic profit should be given the mine own- ers and the miners, but the various ."brokers ought to be prized loose from their graft. The attorney gen eral can begin his investigations in tie mine pits and continue it all along the line until he reaches the consumer. That will get results. t I L DRIFTING TO COX The statement of the 100 promin ent Republicans and progressives in favor of Cox and Rooesvelt because jof Senator Harding's changeable ; position on me leajjur uj. nan...- ( dicates how the thoughtful people ol j the nortn anu west are iuinu; i the Democratic candidates. These men and women happen to know a! little history They point out in their statement a fact that the Record has emphasiz ed m many occasions that the Re publican party in the past has been the party to make the United States take a prominent place in world af faiis. The league of nation? is just another stej) in the expansion of ;. foreign policy that always has been beneficent and that always will be. Mc Kin ley, Roosevelt and Taft, and even Mr. Hughes, laid the foundations uvv.n which future statesmen nurd luiid. it is inevitable. PERSON AND HIS POLITICS To the Editor of Daily Record: Permit an humble citizen, and read er of your journal to say a word re lative 'to your editorial on yesterday, the Itfth 'inst., wherein you sought to show your readers of my t-a 1; apoiacy, as being the cause of my not behigc nble to go north to can-, paign. when really the truth is, 1 have been duped by methods too foul to print here., wherein my persona!, private letters have been made the bugaboo, to still keep North Carolina in he Democrttie column. The meth ods tesorted to wou'd lay in the shade, the lay down of Jack Johnson to Wii lard, or the recent baseball frame-up. It is ti-ue, I am glad to be a mem ber of the Republican party. the party of peace and grogress. but more than that, the party of human rights. As no decent negro ian rights. As no decent negro can conscientiously be a Democrat. Ev eryone who says so lies. There are some men in the Democratic party as good as ever lived, some who are willing to see the right thing done by the negro. In fact, all descend ants of the Mayflower are williryr to grant the negro life and air, as he docs not ask to be a ward of tha nation, but that every one should stand of bv the sunshine. But V.Kv rnake'iiie thl- scapet&at in this canipaitrn. This reminds of an old savins, wherein a man once on lea vim home thought he should 2 0 out to chhreh. as he wohld not return in some time, and the preacher took for his text. "Peter's wife lay sick with a fever unto death." Upon his i-eturn home 20 years later and visiting the same church, and by chance the same reverend was ex hortiiu. Had for hi text Peter's wife lay Sick with a fever unto death, whereupon the visitor arose in the audience and said great God isn't that wc man .dead vt ? So I ask this one question: Can there be no issue between the voi ters of North Carolina but what the negro must be paramount. I have not tried to interfere in the politics of the state or Catawba county, beiny willing; to let white mVn settle the issues. Some cuy with more zeal than brains pats me in the race to be postmaster. Noth ing couln be fujther from the truth. I say now. instead of trying engen der racj teelmgs against poor de fenseless negroes, why not explain to (these white men why we have :'.0c sugar in time of peace and lie su gar in times of war. Why a Liberty Bond is not worth its fact value. Why white men and women are tfeing VisfvuncfcUed Kke the iVci negroes. Hy so doing they will be helping; an irate public, who pines to forget the negro question. Again let me assert in the most positive terms: No man, or s of " l" say i Have had one penny of reward, or the promise of such in uns dastard canard. The old adage. Honor among; thieves, seems to jtr piayeu out. Respectfully, W. LEE PERSON. Hickory, N. C. COTTON AND A SUBSTITUTE Salisbury Post.
