The weather is getting too warm to talk politics, besides, there is no money and but little honor in the business. Who wants to represent Davie in the Legislative halls this time? Is he in favor of a dog law and good roads? If not, swat him. To a man up a tree it doesn't ap pear that there is much harmony floatiner over either the Democratic or Republican camp just at present. Lest some of our friends should overlook the matter, we wish to re mark that they ought to do their Christmas shopping early this year. Davie county is waking up on the good roads question. It is only a matter of time until we will have good roads throughout this entire section. The little town of Taylorsville has just organized a building and loan association. No reason why Mocks ville shouldn't organize such an as sociation. The editor is kept busy these days answering questions about who is the stingiest man in town, and in trying to keep the crab grass chop ped out of his corn patch. Taft, Roesevelt, Clark, Wilson, Underwood and Bryan all claim that they are going to be President. With all that bunch in the White House, a warm time could be expected. The Lexington Dispatch and The News and Observer, two of the big Democratic papers in this State, are holding a love-feast these days. They are afflicted with Underwoodrow wilsonism. It don't pay to mix drinks, brethren. Mocksville is coming to the front. Two new brick stores, a free library and a good sand-clay road to Rowan are things that every citizen of the town should be proud of. Other things we need are: More factor ies, a building and loan association, morning train to Charlotte and a W, R Craig. About eight hundred of our sub scribers are gently reminded that the paper companies and ink factor ies are still charging us for our pa per and ink. Our bills have to be met and we depend on our subscrib ers to help us meet them. A half dollar from each of our friends who are behind with their subscription, would be doubly appreciated just at this time. Call and see us, or send the money by mail. We are glad that our farmers are getting well up with their work. A good crop of wheat will be harvest ed this month, and corn and cotton is looking fairly well. Prospects are much brighter for the farmer than they were a short while ago. The fruit crop promises to be the largest for many years, and the blackberry briars are groaning under their heavy burden. Let's forget politics ani enjoy the rich blessings which Bre bestowed upon us daily. Robert Page has been renomina ted for Congress in this district by the Democrats. Bob is a harmless fellow, having never done anything for the people down here but once then he deserted the Democratic platform and voted with the Repub licans. Of course Bob can't plow oorn, cut wheat or pick cotton. He don't know how ke is a railroad magnate, owner or operator of a railroad, if he hasn't recently sold out. But Robert can draw his sal ary and mileage all right, and mail cut free speeches that, are never read and vegetable seed that won't come up. Robert is of .the classes, not the masses. J-We don't wislrhim any bad luck, but we hope he will be defeated in November. Some of the good Democrats in Davie are mighty tired of Bobby. Clark Carries Two More. Champ Clark has carried Mon tana and Arizona by large majori ties, which means that Colonel Bryan's chances are growing brigh ter every day. Big Fire Io Salisbury. Fire Wednesday rro ning de stroyed the oid Merouey theater io which was located the offices of the Salisbury Post, Jackson's meat market, and H. Clay GruWs of fice; also a club room. The loss is about 140,000. Seven Persons Killed By Tornado. Tulsa, Okla., May . 28. Seven persons were killed, three were probably fatally injured and a score or more were ltss seriously hurt when a tornado s wept through the village of Skiatook, 18 miles northwest of Tulsa, and the neigh boring farming lands and oil field- last night. The property loss ie estimated at $75,000. Page Renominated. Greensboro, May 28. Demo crats of the seventh North Caroli na congressional district, held at Asheboro today, named the fol lowing delegates to the Baltimore j convention: Reese Blair, Troy; L D. Robin son, Wadesboro; D. E. Mclver, Sanford; T. B. Bailey, Mocksville. Delegates are uninstructed and have one-half vote each. Robert N. Page was renominated tor Con gress without opposition. T. R. aud Wilson Sweep State. Newark, N J., May 28.-3:15 a. M. One of the most sweeping victories Theodore Roosevelt has won in the primaries since be be gan his campaign for the Republi can presidential nomination was recorded yes erday by the Re publican voters ol New Jersey. In lications based on incomplete re turns are that Colonel Roosevelt carried every congressional district in the State as well as the State at large and that all the twenty-eight delegates New Jersey will send to Chicago will be Roosevelt men. Governor Wilson won his own State against a strong oppifcioD headed by his political enemies within the State and appeal s to have 24 of the 28 delegate, in cluding the delegates at large.
