Yea; If by prosper ity you mean vast wealth, n matter how distributed or whe ther distributed at all or not; it you mean vast enterprises built up to be presently concentrated under the control of compara tively small bodies of men, who can determine alnjost at pleas ure whether there shall be com petition or not The nation at a nation has grown immensely rich. She is Justly proud of her industries and of the genius Of her men of affairs. They can master anything they set their mind to, and we have been greatly stimulated under their leadership and command. Their laurels are many and very green. we must accord them the great honors that are their due, and we must preserve what they have built up for us. But what of the other side of the picture? It is not easy for us to live as it used to be. Our money will not buy as much. H igh wages, ven when we can get them, yield ns no great comfort. We used to be better off with less, because a dollar could buy so much more. The majority of us have been disturbed to find ourselves growing poorer, even though our earnings were slowly in creasing. Prices climb faster than we can push our earnings tp. From Woodrow Wilson's Speech Accepting the Demo cratic Nomination. JUDGE DANIELS'CHARGE TO THE JURY. Judge F. A. Daniels, of Golds- boro, who ia presiding over this term of court, delivered one of the finest charges to the grand jury yesterday that we have ever . heard. It was a gem." Unlike most judges he failed to follow the time worn channeTs. Bather he reviewed the good work that is now goiDg on in North Carolina that is uplifting our people. In the course of his remarks he re ferred to the A. & M. College which is doing a noble work in preparing young men for the var ious vocations of life. Speaking school committeemen into a work tog body that willv result in much good to the school work over the county. Mr. J. M. Iloberts was elected president and Prof. G, Heafner secretary. The Object of this move is to bring the teachers patrons and committeemen closer touch with each other in order that all may work to the best interests of the schools. Th organization includes the commit teemen from all over the county and a meeting of the entire body will be held at least twice daring the school term. Of course the teachers and committeemen of the different districts will meet oftener in fact, just as often as it is deem ed necessary. It is really H "get together" plan. The News heart ily endorses this new move for we believe that it will eliminate many little unpleasantnesses that come up in the schools during the ses sion. very onen tne teacher nas to shoulder the blame, when if the facts were known a verdict of "not guility" would be rendered A large per cent of the patrons of schools are prone to criticize, the teacher when sometimes the fault lies elsewhere. In inaugurating this move we are of the opinion that the school management is going to make an effort to bring the teachers, patrons and school committeemen into closer touch in order that better understanding may be had in discussing the var ious phases 01 the work. As stated above the committeemen and teachers of the entire county will meet together at least twice during the year. When these people from every part of the county Come together they will make a large and interesting body, there being one huudred and five white teachers in the county and three committeemen for each of the fifty-nine white districts. RURAL CARRIERS GET A RAISE The News is one of those papers that alwaysirejoices when the rural man's sajary is raised. They are deserving and Uncle Sam makes no mistake in helping along the faithful men who perform the duties of this part of the service. By order of the postmaster general carriers on standard routes will Progress: - (It ia predicted by "some that the Progressive element will or i ize in - the county and put out a ticket for county officers. Mr. Hoyle, candidate lor toe upper house of the legislature on the Re publican ticket, is a staunch Roose velt man and says that he would like to see the new party organized and a ticket named. It is under stood that Messrs. J. A. Arm strong and O. P. Rhodes, candidate for the lower house, are Taft Re publicans and there yoo are. Mr. Hoyle says that the split in the party will remove every charge the party has for, victory in the county and that he will be satisfied with the naming of a Progressive ticket and letting the boys fight out. He further says that he be lieves there will be no Republican party after the November election, if such a course is taken." From the best information at hand there are only a few Taft men in this county and the "Bull meesers" have them bluffed to a finish. It has been decreed by the bosses that it shall be Teddy and so it will be. TI kit FHACTICE KAI en Former Governor Glenn Urgei Ladies 1 o Enact Reforms In Stylet Of Dress. Pittsburg, Aug. 30. -Former Gov. R. B. Glenn of North Caro lina, addressing 2,000 teachers of the Alleghany County Teachers Institute last night, made a plea to them to use their influence in securing reform in- the manner of dressing by the woman of the country. He attributed the spread of lm purity to low-necked and short skirt dresses. "My dear ladies," he said "if you want to wear pants, wear them. Japanese women wear them and look pretty good in them. But if you insist upon wearing them, wear pants with both legs in them and not with only one leg and then - try and stick your feet through them as some of you wo men now are trying to do."

Gentleman came for him in automobiles, the ladies phoned out to camp for him, and failing to get their messages through they came after him and literally car ried him off. At Newton, at Granite Falls, at Lenoir, at Blow ing Rock and everywhere ladies and gentlemen were constantly calling at camp and asking "Is Chaplain Rogers in camp!'' We all became very jealous of Chap lain Rogers. -. Of course, we all know just how popular a real good looking and genial preacher can be, but you add to that kind of a preacher's make-up a uniform with brass buttons, a campaign hat 'set rak- lshly to one side, mount him on a fine charger and turn him loose among the, women and see what happens. . However, don't let anyone get it into his wooden head that the! troopers do not appreciate their genial an I lovable Chaplain. ' He may "cut some one out" occasion ally but he has the esteem and love of the boys, their unbounded confidence and wields a . great in fluence for good among them. The excellent sermon delivered by Chaplain Rogers to the troop at Blowing Rock that Sunday morn ing was listened to attentively and made a profound impression. The Chaplain Is a great "leaven" among the "boys." The behavior of the men on the march, in camp and while on lib erty was perfect No drinking, no rowdyism, no boisterous con duct, and as a result all were gladly welcomed wherever they went. Probably nothing connec ted with the troop elicited more favorable comment than the fine personnel and the good conduct of the men.
