When the Kiuauu tWUhat hi twen
on the way to the Far Kst to kc
tut to French (Vhin Chin, it an
c bored in Kamruih Bay, and thr
Japanese claim that it remained
there several day in violation of thr
lav of neutrality. France control.
this territory, and a she is the ally
of Runnia, the J may have been
over sensitive. Japan was not kmg
in asking France mhat he meant.
and coupled with the question
pretty clear intimation that she
would suffer no infringement of the
law of neutrality. It i even said
that the went no far as to remind
England that the Utter country it
under treaty obligation to go to th
aid of Japan should the Utter be at
tacked by more than one power at
the time. France was quick to dis
avow any unfriendly intention, and
so the matter has blow n over for the
time. Meanwhile the Russians hare
again put to sea, and the last gn at
naval battle of the war is daily ex
peeled. I'pon it Russia stakes her
all, and the contlict is no less im
portant for Japan. Togo, the Japa
nese admiral, is reported to have
said that he is going to avoid making
fleet attack, but will harrass the
Russian fleet as much a possible
and use his torpedo boats with the
intention of doing as much dainagt
as possible to the enemy with as lit
tle loss to himself as possible. It is
not to be s.ipposed that the Japanese
will make a mistake at this critical
time, and the Russian fleet seems as
good as lost already.
The city of Raleigh was given
primary election law by the last leg
islature, embracing the Australian
ballot system, and the first election
under it was held last week. The
observers there were highly pleased
with the results. It is declared by
the Raleigh papers that the system
breaks up corruption of all kinds
estecially the buying of votes, and
allows everv man to vote his honest
convictions w ithout fear or molesta
tion. The Post says that every town
and county ought to adopt the sys
tem, not only for primary elections.
but for real ones as well. There is
no place where the degeneracy in
American politics is more manifest
than around the tolls right here in
North Carolina.
President Broom, whose article
calling for a meeting on the (ith of
May appears on the first page, is
very anxious that there shall be
big attendance on that day. That is
the reason the meeting day has been
changed from Tuesday to Saturday
Thi meeting will lie a most import
ant one, for the report that goes up
from the South that day on acreage
and fertilizer will largely decide, not
only the price for cotton sold this
summer, but the marketing all next
fall.
Governor Glenn's most ardent
friends could not desire to see him
more active. Last week he figured
in the papers a good deal by reason
of the announcement that he was
booked to deliver a Sunday school
address on the subject, "Shall we
Reject the Master?" and that he had
been to Washington to beg the gov
ernment to let off one Casper, a big
whiskey distiller of Winston, who had
been convicted of defrauding the
government and heavily fined. States
manship is almost as big a thing as
humbug.

It has been sai l that horses com
municate to each other a knowledge
of things that are strange to their..
Close observers sav thev noticed that
if, when bicvcles were strange, one
horse was carried constant !v where'
he could see them and become accus
tomed to them and then turned into a
t w ith others that had not seen the
bicycles, he would tell them all about
the new machine, so that they would
not be afraid even the hrst tune
they saw one. If that be a fact one
horse in Monroe must have lived the
life of a hermit. Mr. I-orenzo Med-
lin has been running his automobile
around town for a few wtvks at a
more sensible rate than most people
think they can be operated. Most
people and horses have long since
ased to express even curiositv when
the machine passed, but not so with
the powerful bay that pulls Mr. M.
aller s delivery wagon. He was
standing in front of the door yester
day, hitched to the wagon, while
Possum, the boy who drives, sat qui-
tly in tlie seat, when Mr. Medlin and
his machine rounded the comer near

It is the night for the nomination
of aldermen and every voter who
could leave home was out to attend

had been defeated Uvause he was

to secure the desired results. We
may have go.! sod well worked, but
if we scatter mfcm seed on it we
are sure to get an inferior crop or
perhaps no crop at all. Then turn
ing t.iese thoughts to the higher life,
we could not help but think of 'i:e
seeds that are sown broadcast with
out any thought as to what tlie har
vest will be. We shall all reap what
we sow. As we plant one grain and
reap many, so in the higher life, one
good deed done by a loving heart, a
cheerful word spoken in kinduiss
and love, may produce a rich reward
for him who is the sower. As the
high schiols of our county are d.is

cation, they should sow good seed m
all the pla.vs they may chance to lie.
The harvest is coming by and by.
We all desire to enjoy the happy re

The recitation medal wa awarded to
llisi Jennie Price of Weddington,
and in the contest for declaimer's

the advancement of the world is
being done by the hardest workers.
