The Southern Express Company
has authorized its agent to accept for
transmission, without charge, fell
money consigned to the Washington
office of the Red Cross Society. In
this way the Express Company will do
a splendid and charitable service and

Several hundred Snore bales of cot
ton have been ginned in Lenoir coun.
ty this year than was the case in 1913,
according to statistics compiled by
the government up to October 18 for
both years, and printed elsewhere in
today's issue. The cotton planters
will have to adopt the plan of "big
business" of selling on small margins
and depending on large volume of
aales to pile up the profits.
The Raleigh News and Observer of
Thursday morning's issue, made
striking argument for the proposed
amendments by printing the partial
list of the leading men of the State,
who are championing the Amend
ments, and alongside the list, of its
opponents the latter containing the
solitary name of Chairman E. L. Tra
vis of the State Corporation Commis
sion. Mr. Travis is surely in the min
ority in his fight. He hardly has t
peaking part.

., Despite all precautionary measures
on the part of the States and mine
owners, there will be explosions so
long as the individual miner is not in
thorough accord with safeguard meth
ods. It has been a hard matter to
prevent that recklessness and aband
on which comes from constant asso
ciation with danger. Trainmen are
too prone to take long chances in
making couplings and doing other
hasardous work, and their careless
ness has boen the cause of the loss
of many a foot or hand and many
a life as well. The same is true in
the history of mines. Men will use
nigh explosives, which they smuggle
in, and strike matches when the mines
are known to have more or less gas.
The bitter experience of others does
not retard as It should.
NEW WINE IN
OLD BOTTLES -
The wisdom of the Biblical injunc
tion against putting "New wine in old
bottles" is exemplified in the every
day affairs of life. Many business con
cerns make failures or are able to
barely eke out an existence because
they try to keep up with the proces
sion and adhere to old and obsolete
methods. Old machinery is fre
quently used long after its usefulness
has been spent and when in reality,
instead of being an asset, it is in the
way. Modem business successes are
not builded in nny such way. The ac
counting systems, the mechanical
equipment, the shipping and delivery
methods and all phases of the con
duct of the business are modernized
to keep step with the needs and de
velopment of the age. The old ways
were all right in thtir day, but no
longer so, and wise is the man who
realises the need for keeping step
with the times.
What is true in the business and
commercial life is true in matters of
government. Laws made a century
ago are no longer necessarily in keep
ing with conditions, prevailing today.
There are many statutes which have
stood the test of time, and which are
destined to be applicable for many
years to come, but not so with a great
many of them, and it is of these that
"Ve speak.
and that is to strike them out and. if
present conditions demand it; put In
their places those laws which are ap
plicable now. The State Constitution
was framed by, perhaps, the best
mind and talent to be had at the time
and based on the enlightenment of
chat period and the environment,
which inspired the various provisions,
it is truly a remarkable and compre
hensive compilation, and in the whole
is adequate for present needs. There
are changes, which are very essential
at this time. These changes, or at
least the better part of them, are cov
ered by the ten amendments which
are to be submitted to the people for
ratification at the polls next Tuesday
We believe the amendments should
carry because we have faith in the
wisdom of the scriptural injunction.
OUR THANKSGIVING
IN 1914
Rarely if ever have American citi
zens had such cause for more real
thanksgiving than is their fortune in
this good year of Nineteen Fourteen.
And this, our nation, has been par
ticularly blessed and favored through
out the years that have gone. Our
President, issuing his annual Thanks
Day proclamation Wednesday, spoke
eloquently of the causes for gratitude.
He compared the peaceful condition
enjoyed by America with the terrible
war-torn picture of the Old World.
He urged his fellow-citizens to pause
in their plenty and succor the suffer
ing and supply the wants of the
needy.
Our Thanksgiving this year may
truly be meritoriously celebrated if
we make it an occasion for thanks
offering and prayer to the Almighty
that the burden of suffering human
ity across the seas may be alleviated.
That the Christ spirit, "Peace on
earth, good-will toward all men," may
dominate the world, and that men
may live together in unity and pur
pose, realising that in the common
service of the Father, man may have
the highest expression of his attain
ments. -I

ject of charity which the South has
never been and never will be and it
was this sort of stuff against which
the pride of our people was moved to
revolt. It has been a season of hys

APPLY SLOAN'S FREELY
FOR LUMBAGO.
THE LESSON OF EXPERIENCE
Rocky Mount Telegram: "The far
mer that has raised his hog and hom
iny the past season, and at the same
time has fodder and foodstuffs enough
for his live stock, is certainly o'n the
velvet as compared with the fellow
that raised only cotton as a money
crop and expected to buy the neces
sities. It is proving a pretty hard
lesson with hundreds of thousands
over the South, but it will do more
to spread the gospel of 'raise what
you eat,' than all the newspaper talk
of a half dozen years."
YOU BET. IT IS
Wilmington Star: "Conflicting in
terests in this country expect the
government to enable them to raise
the price of all they have to sell and
lower the price of all they are com
pelled to buy. Meanwhile, all that
should be expected of the government
is that it shall see that no f ree-boot-
ers shall restrain trade by combines,
but make it a "fair field and and no
favor.' What the government should
do for all the people is to make trade
restraintless for all the people and
so manage tho country's finances that
there shall be plenty of money for
legitimate business and not enough to
inflate values and depreciate the cur
rency in the hands of the people. That
is precisely what the Democratic ad
ministration at Washington is trying
to do."
Your attacks of Lumbago arc not
nearly so hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by
a simple application of Sloan's Lini
ment on the back and loins. Lumba
go is a form of rheumatism, and yields
perfectly to Sloan's which penetrates
quickly all in through the sora, tender
muscles, limbers up the bade and
makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of
Sloan's Linement for 25 cents of any
druggist and have it in the house
against colds, sore and swollen joints,
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and
like ailments. Your money back if
not satisfied, but it does give almost
instant relief. Adv.
HAVE YOU CATARRH?
It's
a Dangerous Disease Hyomei
is the Effective Remedy.
Catarrh, which is indicated by
sniffling, frequent colds and crusts in
the nose is a serious disease and if
not checked surely spreads to the deli
cate lining of the air passages, and
frequently destroys the hearing.
To cure catarrh you must have
something that will quickly reach the
diseased tissues, kill the germs, and
drive out the poison.
Hyomei is just such a remedy. Be
ing a mixture of antiseptic oils that
you breathe through a small inhaler
its health-restoring medication can
not help going direct to the raw and
inflamed lining of the nose and throat,
quickly relieving that choked-up feel
ing, stopping the unclean discharges,
and healing the sore spots -you
breathe freely. Even the worst cases
respond at once.
There is nothing for the treatment
of catarrh ills that is easier, more
pleasant or so satisfying aa Hyomei.

Charlotte Obwrver: "Now that the

It was placed in the lobby of the Mc-
Alpin and artistically placarded:
Buy a Bale and Help the South." A
Charlotte merchant who knew some

from a broker at seven cents. A lit

from a broker in New York around
seven cents. The broker got the mon

of the kind and while the spirit which
