JULY 16. 1908. No. 2. 1 A . THE OUTLOOK PROPITIOUS. Editor Industrial New9. . The outlook for Republican victory in North Carolina this year is- propi tious, provided the party is wise and conservative in the selection of its ' congressional, state and county tickets. .... We should .'choose . candidates in every way fitted to fill the positions for which they are nominated. Their public, record should be without blemish, their, morals above re proach and their capability unques tioned. This rule should govern in the selection of the ticket from gov errior.tq constable,, without consider ing the selfish ambitions of any man. They should be freefrom any fac tional alliances, that have or may have the effect of causing dissensions in the ranks to the detriment of par ty harmony and:success. . We should avoid any action, that will tend to di vide or weaken our forces or to re pel others that are thinking of join ing our ranks at- the; ensuing elec tion. We should present an unbro ken front to the terrified and some what demoralized enemy. Looking over the situation from this point, I am convinced that such a ticket, headed by Hon. Jeter C. Pritchard, of Buncombe, for governor, and Hon. Cyrus Thompson, of Onslow county, for lieutenant-governor, would insure victory at the polls in November. The one hailing from the west and the other from the east, no section of the state could feel that it had -been discriminated against and therefore, ho one would have cause to complain of the ticket on sectional grounds.Thefmerl triumphant, but now .'demoralized Democracy, would be confronted by two trained campaigners who have never met a Waterloo in joint de bate, and are always ready and de lighted to accept any challenge that may eminate from any of the Demo cratic orators for a joint discussion of the political issues. Both men have filled highly, honorable appoint ive and elective positions and made records that they have no cause to apologize for or that their friends will evor be called to explain away. They have the "confidence and esteem of all our people." No charge of cor ruption, unfaithfulness or lack of ability has ever been preferred a gainst either of these men. . Democ racy is demoralized and groaning with jealousies and dissensions; bus iness men are hesitating, anxious and uncertain as to the future, while the laboring masses are seeking bet ter conditions with little hope of gaining their . desires under Demo cratic administration. Neither the one or the other of these mighty in terests expect relief tnrough Demo cracy, and are anxiously waiting and hoping that the Republican -party will nominate a ticket at Charlotte that they can advocate and actively support with a full assurance that if elected the best interests of all classes of citizens will be well sub served and safeguarded. The in terests of the state and of the Re publican party demand that they ac cept tne nomination. Neither have ever shirked a duty or responsibility whenever the country has demanded. They do not seek political prefer ments, therefore, the greater reas ons they should be , selected as our standard bearers. They are too patriotic to refuse when their country calls. They will not turn a deaf ear if it is made man ifest that the best interests of our commonwealth demand that they shall make the race. J. M. HORNADAY. Once in a while an honest man gets elected to office and the sur prise kills him. SECRETARY LUKE WRIGHT. President Roosevelt has appointed a southern Democrat to succeed Taft in the war department. General. Luke Wright, of Mem phis, who followed Mr. Taft at the Philippines, and was afterwards sent io Tokio to represent this govern ment, is the lucky man. The gener al belongs to that class of Americans who do things. He is popular with the army and is well fitted to carry on the work laid down by the Re publican candidate for President. The selection of General Wright will meet witi. approval. The only criticism, we venture to say, will come from the hide-bound partisans who regard it political treason for a public servant to choose subordinates from outside., the ranks. But the President long 'since demonstrated his utter indifference to protests from that quarter. It is enough for him to know that he has found a man who will fill the. bill and perform the duty required in a capable and pa triotic manner. The party wall is not so high in the President's mind that hecannot scale it at a single bound, and find fragrant flowers on the other side. Industrial News. The Difference. At this time of the year the city man tied up in hiaoffice perspiring over books, longs for the quiet ot the country and the shade of a tree by the side of a still running stream where he-can cast his hook into the water and imagine he is happy whether he catches any fish or not. At the same time the young man in the country, wiping great drops of dirt y perspiration from his brow, longs to get away from the country and go to the city, where he thinks he will find enjoyment working in' a big, cool warehouse or summing up figures in a big book under an electric ian. Hethinks that farm life is the hardest in the world, and if he eould only get away he would be happy. It is all in the point of view. Contentment and happiness, perhaps, are at last on ly to be found in the dictionary. He who would be content must love his work, take the world as it comes, work hard for a period, take a vacation when necessary and lay up for a rainy day. Our Home. I Wading Contests. Out west one of the favorite a musements of the hot season is wading con ests by girls and mar ried woman. It would hardly be allowed east of the Appalachians, but the west doesn't seem to mind it, and doubtless has large .con tempt for the over-modest east on this and other scores. The women wade out into lakes. The one who can wade furthest without getting her lingerie wet is awarded the prize. Naturally the contests draw nordea of men, and as the judge! of the cutest are in a boat off the shore, and have a vantage p iut for sight seeing, there is merry war over who shall be jud ges. Last week there was a con test at Clear Lake, near Uesmoines, and 18 waders gathered their skirts and walked in One tall girl went 75 feet into the lake, and got the prize. Sometimes these things are carried out to raise money for pub lic purposes. How dear to our hearts Is cash on subscription, When the generous subscriber Presents it to view.

Davis sustained property loss and came near being drowned himself Friday July 3rd, in a swollen stream in Alexander county, says the Land mark. Mr Davis was bonding ome brandy distilleries. He was accompanied by Mr. J.. A. Parker, of States ville. About noon Friday they came to a small creek near where it empties into Little river, about eight or ten miles from Hick orp. When they reached the stream Mr. Parker carried Mr. Davis grip across the foot-log. A boy was sent across the stream on a mule and it appeared that the stream was safe. Mr. Davis had The stream rose very rapidly and when Mr. Davis drove in the swift current turned the buggy over and washed buggy and horse down stream. Mr. Davis jumped out and made for the bank and was pulled out by Mr. Parker. The bank was so steep that if Mr. Par ker hadn't been there Mr. Davis would have been helpless to get out himself and -would have been washed into Little river, where es cape from drowning and being bat tered on the rocks would have been improbable. After Mr. Davis was rescued they turned their attention to the horse. They got him to the bank once but he could not get out. He became detached from the buggy after the horse and buggy had drifted nearly a mile down Little river, but the current was so swift aud the stream so rugged that he had no chance. He was finally washed into the Catawba river, over a mile from where he started, and was taken ou on the opposite side of the river. The buggy was headed towards the ocean when last seeu. The horse was taken to a home in Alexander county. It is so badly used up that Mr.. Davis does not expect it to recover. He estimates his damage, including the loss of the horse, at $240. Vacation Fad. Thousands of city people are now counting the hours when they can leave for some seaport, springs, river or mountain for an outing, where they can fight mosquitoes and bugs for a few days, and per haps get drowned. It is a great thing and many of our ancestors Jived and died not knowing what a vacation or an outing meant. Shelby Aurora. Another Stingy Man. Mrs. Henry Eckland, of New York, wants a divorce from her husband and among 'other 'griev ances is his exceptional stinginess. One instance she recites and that is her husband made their son take long steps to save his shoes. Short- stepping was an extravagance, he said, because the boy could cover just as much 'giouud and save ieatner oy increasing nis stridf Ex Oxford Orphan Asylum Singing Class. The second or western tour "of the Oxford Orphan Asylum' Sing ing Class wifl begin the last of this month with excellent prospects. The first or eastern tour, which closed June 23rd, was a signal suc cess in every way, so far as can be judged. The concert this summer is ex ceptionally attractive and it has met with marked appreciation. The children conduct themselves in a manner which greatly com mends them and the institution which they represent. The people of North Carolina are deeply interested in work for home less orphan children and give it strong, loyal support. We earnestly- bespeak for this tour through the middle and wes tern sections of the State even in creased patronage and success. .
