When (Congressman Stedman shall have reached the conclusion that it is not so funny after all to have the appointment of a post master, and that the heart burnings and predudice of the disappointed candidates out weighs usualy in a large measure the influence of the successful appointee. It is thought that appointments should be made to men who have the strongest political pull, irregardless of fitness, or popularity. This is decidely unfair to the patrons of the office who after all are mast concerned, and the only way in which their interest be consulted is to have a primary. If primaries are the correct thing to ascertain the wishes of the people in the choice of a senator, or any other official, it is equaly important to ascertain the wishes of the people in regard to their choice for post-master. Some may object to it, and we do not blame them, but we are discussing the fairness of the thing. There may be no system for voicing public sentiment but what can be prostituted in some wav to nulify it's fairness and equity, but the primary upon the whole is as free from objections as most any method to ascertain the wishes of the people, and it has got to be a very popular post-master that is appointed without consulting the wishes of the patrons of the office that is going to give general satisfac tion. on long, bat jiurlficent time has elapsed convince the most casual observer that Bulgai i:i is not in it. The latest report is they have asked some of the poweri for intervention. Bul garia at last has awaked to the fact that they can not conquer the earth. Some how, or other we believe that the fellow who misrepresents a fact, or creates a false impres sion should share in the criminal responsability for obtaining a license to marry a young girl by making false representation. A clerk of the court is not presumed to be a mind reader, and is of- times seriously imposed upon by those seeking marriage license. Let the fellow that gets the goods pay some of the cost. The Conquest. He brought her gifts of Araby, Deep-tinted beryl and magic jade, Red coral from a ravished sea, And:?carabs by a Bedouin made; But Phyllis smiled and fingered long The string of passion’s golden verse That I had wrought of every song Within a poet-lover’s purse. Bright-jeweled ropes of fabled worth He hung about her dove-soft throat; Flame rubies from the womb of earth That burned in centuries remote. Pale opals steeped in desert lore And fraught with mystic burgeoning But Phyllis turned and whispered o’er A sonnet of my golden string. Upon her hair of raven’s sheen With reverent hands like priest lie laid Tear-pearls that dreamed of some sad queen Who loved and lost and knelt and prayed; And knelt and prayed as he had done To her gray eyes that danced above, While Phyllis with a lilting run Hummed sweet my triolet of love. ’Tis true of rhyme and other arts That errant fancy rears and balks. And knowing much of maiden hearts Apollo weeps where Midas stalks; Aias for poets all, I fear. Their hopes ephemeral grow dim, For Phyllis with a parting tear Smiled up at me and married him. —NGordon Johnstone, In August Ainslee’s. A Remorseless Enemy of , Man (Baltimore News ) It is startling to be informed on no less authority than that of the eminent medical men who are active in the new American Society for the Control of Cancer, that the disease they are fighting is one of the great( st menaces to hu man life beyond the age of forty years -—perhaps greater even than tubercu losis. But while we are depressed by the proportions of the menace, we are en couraged by the assertion implied in the name of the new organization—the So ciety for the Control of Cancer. The Society makes plain not only through | its title but by means ot its publications. Its positive belief that cancer can be controlled. It confidently assorts that the number of deaths from this cause can be greatly reduced, principally by treating it in the early stages, but also, in many cases, when the disease is advanced. OH MR. McCUMBER Senator McCumber in his opening remarks in which he makes a vicious assault upon the tariff revision bill charged that the Democratic party had delib erately kicked the American farmer in the gutter. He ads: “With violent hands you are about to atrip him of every advantage which the changed conditions of home supply and demand were about to yield to him. You have declared that he is an outcast in the land which he has made, the only one of all the classes of American people who is not entitled to any con sideration at your hands. You have in sulted his sense of fairness, slapped him in the face and kicked him into the) gutter.” Oh McCumber, why do you talk so unreasonable? Don’t you know that the impression you are trying to create is false, foolish and frivelous, entirely at variance with the facts. May be you have a skull full of gumption, may be it requires a strong brain band to keep your head from bursting, but with it all you are si mple, peevish, and pureile to expect the American people to swallow your absor- dities your paradoxcal incon sistencies. If the American farmer ever had proof of the friendship from the National Government it is getting it in the different clauses in the tariff bill that relates to their interest, now before the National assembly for considera tion. About Cutting Tobacco Mr. Editor. Dear Sir:- Forty eight years ago I began the work of grow’ing tobacco. ■\fter a few years I decided, or rather discovered, that there were certain days better than others for cutting tobacco in order for it to cure up nicely and have a “heavy body” and be oily and “waxy.” To explain. I’ll say that tobacco has a sap just as a tree, and tobacco also has at intervals an oily substance, which is its natural possession. When the sap, or water, rises in tobac..'o it pushes out the oil through the pores of the leaves on the principle that oil and water won’t mix, and tobacco cut in this state will be light and “chaffj-,” when cured. From the fact that sap pushes the oil out of tobacco is why it is so “gummy” at certain times and will barely stain your hands at other times. But cut tobacco when full of oil and it will cure up nicely and have a “heavy body” and be oily and “waxy.” When tobacco is full of oil and it can not evai>orate as sap does in curing, therefore the tobacco is compelled to be rich and heavy, t armers have ex perienced cutting tobaoco one week and do well with it, and then again the next week and off of the same piece of ground and have altogether different luck. If any of the farmers will write and send a stamp for reply, I’ll be pleased to write to them upon this matter. Yours truly, Daniel V. Davis, Advance, N. C. R. F. D. 2.

HURDLE DENTIST Office in Hew Posf-office BIdg. Mebane, N- C. It strikes us that the Bulga rians have come quite near playing the fool, in what they have done since the end of the war with Turkey. Their bravery and audacity was repaid in their success in driving the Turkes out of Europe, but as soon as they had accomplished this the ultimate object of the war, they began to fall out, with the Greeks and Servians, and attact them. This last war has not been going Unendurable Situation (Florida Times-Union.) Affairs are going from bad to worse in Mexico and they will have little further to go to become urendurable. Both sides show a hatred of the government and the people of the United States, and it has come to pass that Americans are regarded as legiti mate objects of insult and robbery. Hi)w much longer will it be before they will be the victims of wholesale murder? Many of them have left Mexico and all should leave who can. But all cannot leave. Some have property interests that would be destroyed if they left and others haven't the money to get away. No paper in the United States-no individual in the United States—is more strongly opposed than the Times-Union to the acquisition of any further terri tory by this government. We are op posed to war unless it is absolutely nec essary, hut the time may come in the defense of the rights and even of the lives of Americans when war will be absolutely necessary. Latin Americans everywhere are suspicious of the United States, and unjustly so,so far as our government is concerned. The government at Washing ton has shown a remarkable forbearance toward Mexico. We doubt whether any power of Europe, if it had been situated as we are and had been sub jected to the provocations we have enduced, would have endured them so long. But we have endured them almost to the limit. THE BEST PLACE (N GREENc^BORO To get the best to eat at the HENNESSEE CAFE Open until midnight. 342 SOUTH ELM STREET Near passenger depot. J, R.
