In llf eut and west Morrison sentiment is groviR b leaps and bounds; and :i is MieraM.v admitted thai his can ! t!..c. s now being accotded the iiio-: support ; the progressive leadc.;-, mil n-';a-pers of the state. The New York Times, considered the most reliable ne.v :;iai'r in the world, carried a survev of the Norm Carolina political situu' ua in its Sunday edition, and tu '. if.v of the unquestioned amiraej of iw .e:uit.. its analysis of the Gii!i'.;iii'o"i.il race is interesting. "There are three Iiemocune canduinte for i;ovvnor the at id. says the Times di.-patch. "Kaeh is IliakillS a hard fiplit, but the greatest strength at present is shown by the ami - suffrage candidate. Cameron Morrison, of C'latlotte. who. since the state convention indorsed suffrage ratification, against what is helievetl to be the will of the Democratic ma jority, has been ga :ning steadily, es pecially in the extreme eastern ami wiy-tirn sections of the Stale. The other candidates are I. lent. Gov. O. Max Gardner and lioliert N. Page, brother of the foi'-ier Ambassador to Great Uritain. -Mr. Pate served fourteen years in Congre. and de clined to stand for re-election toeli'er the race for Governor. Gardner is an avowed advocate of woman suff rage and It was his friends who got the convention to indorse ratllica tion. Page Is said to be Ltin;t sn:T rage. "Morrison, the im'i-stiffrate candi date for Governor, was one of the Jule Warren, a Raleigh newspaper reirter recently sent out a report that two men in Cleveland county have bet a thousand dollars 'bat Gardner does not cany his ow n coun ty. The Cleveland Star offers a hun dred dollars for the names of the men. and end up by savin It under stands that the'-e is a man in an part of the state who is Willi;--. bet ten thousand dollars that Gard ner will be in the lead on the first primary. Tbe boys are t;lkin in big Hgetes. but when a man offers to bet either Morrison. Gardner or Page will not carry their respective home counties, he can be put dow n a.t an easy mark. County loyal-y. if nothing else, will put the candidates across in their native haunts.

Tax reform is the most progressive undertaking of the P.ickett administration, and it houl.l be endorsed by all candidates. A judge and a preacher are handl ing Mr Gardner's campaign. Judge Crawford Iliggs. of Kaieiah. is his campaign manager, anil lev. I. v . CluiiiMii-s has charge of the publi city. Regardless of the outcome of the race. Mr. Gardner is certainly in good hands.

I:i a house de dicated to peace and good will among men a wandering lunatic mingles the devil's staccato of revolver shots with the solemn praise of Ood. In such a reign of continuous horrors, the superstitious may be tempted to avert to the ancient belief in planet ary influence, and wonder under what malig.i iars our little earth Is sailing. We need not consult Mars or any other planet for an answer, or sum mon Interpreters and sooth-savers from the vasty deens of space to solve the trouble. War generates moral and mental gas of madness, more poisonous and far-reaching than the diabolical concoctions of the mili tary chemists. It dries up the milk of human kindness in the hearts of men and leaves in its stead the In flaming passions of hate, selfishness and discord. Strong minds find It hard to maintain their balance In a noisoned atmosphere of excitement i and suspicion, and weak and unsound J..j. minds turn on individuals or society , with unreasoning ferocity.
