How much can (will) you give? ,- '. The comlnfr of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show here on Saturday is a great disappointment to the small hoy be. cause he has no show at all of getting a half holiday because "teacher" wants to see the performance. The old man ought to know that. a The Greensboro Newt is nothing if net original. It now proposes to introduce another gubernatorial contest through the fertile imagination of its Raleigh correspond ent. And it ta yet a month before the present race will tie officially settled. , A new size loaf of bread has been placed on the mar ket is New Bern, according to our contemporaries down that way. It is said .to be superior in several particu lar! to the old variety, but the statement that the loaf is larger is enough to make the change of interest to the bread users thereabouts. . - , , The "pot" is boiling in Lenoir iwvr and the aspirants re stumping the precincts in real earnest since the open in Democratic gun was fired at the Sand Hill meeting Tuesday, The "coalitloners" are also said to be doing some lung exercise in their vain endeavor for official hon-on. TIIE RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT. Not only is the record of the past four years of Dem ocratic administration throughout the Nation one to be proud of and one on which no citizen of this country should be afraid to stand, but the achievement in Nor' Carolina during the past sixteen years has set a pace for progressive and constructive work that ie unequalled by any other commonwealth in the Union. Some of the figures quoted by Judge J. S. Manning of Raleigh, in his able and forceful argument for Demo cracy before the voters of Lenoir county Wednesday night, should be known of all men. The Republican cam paigners are going about the State decrying the increr in the appropriation for educational purposes since the Democrats wrested the power from their hands. They fail to call attention to what has been accomplished by the increased appropriation.. Judge Manning cited sta tistics to show that more than 48 hundred schools have been built in North Carolina and 212 rural high schools have been established and more than 30 hundred school libraries have been put in the rural districts. Will any intelligent citizen of the State say that such a record is j not one to be proud of, and one that every father and j mother, who has the responsibility of rearing and educat-1 ing children, should endorse? Mr. Parker, candidate fori Attorney General on the Republican ticket, said in his address here soma days ago that the Democratic party J had done nothing for the country people. Does the es-1 tablishment of 212 rural high schools, where the boys and girls of the country districts are afforded equal edu-1 rational opportunities with those of their city brothers j and sisters, bear Mr. Parker out? We think not. Dom the establishment of four thousand libraries in the rural schools, where the students from the country homes can have the benefit of reference books and proper readinrr, substantiate the statement of Mr. Parker? We think not. Mr. Voter, if you are intelligent and want to know the facts, don't take the statements of either party, but look up the records for yourself; they are available. The Democratic party has performed well its service both in State and Nation, and its report of both stewardships should hava the "well done" endorsement of every think ing and patriotic citizen of North Carolina. Old Jack Frost has been in these parts, aay the good farmer friends who have been to town during the past few days to market their cotton, tobacco, etc. From our v own personal knowledge we couldn't testify but the "air ishneas" of the morning breezes which have greeted us when we have left our "downy" places of rest, is some what damaging to an alibi for the old scout. The New Bern Sun-Journal surmises that it will be a long time before the State of Virginia becomes dry even if the saloons are to be closed the first of Novem'xir. If a a much liquor is being shipped to other places as would appear to be going there from the reports that 100 gal lons were nabbed at one time by the police of New Bern, it ought not to take long to dry up the supplies of the Old Dominion." " Just when we thought we had the "finest race track in America." along comes the Goldsboro Argus and talks about the "finest race track in the State." Home boost ing, that's nil. WHAT OTHERS SAY PAPER CONSERVATION. Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch: "The increasing shortage in paper, and the tremendous advance in the cost of it, are disturbing elements in every publishing institution in the country, and various methods of conserving the paper supply are being suggested. One paper says: "The shortage of paper and its consequent high price have brought about the adoption of an economy in the public schools which will reduce the consumption by 50 per cent. Hereafter exercises are to be written on both sides of the paper. There is a reason why manuscripts for newspapers should be written on only one side. It is to facilitate the cutting up of the pages when they aire given out as 'copy' to the printers. No such practi cal consideration controls in the preparation of school exercises." WHY NOT START 1924 CAMPAIGN? Wilmington Dispatch: "Now that those who take nn accounting of the political winds with as close observa tion and with as scientific measurement as weather men aauge the elements, have reached the conclusion that Honorable Max Gardner, the nominee for Lieutenant-Governor, and Hon. Cameron Morrison, the Democratic wheel horse, of Charlotte, will contest for the gubernatorial seat in 1920, they might relieve anxiety and fix history for some time to come by informing the public who will be m the race in 1924 and in 1928 and 1932. Why not start the 1924 campaign now, as well as the 1920? The more the merrier. What matters it that life is uncertain and that impulse is changeable?" BUFFALO BILL LIKES EXCITEMENT EVEN NOW All the soldiers utilized in the new Buffalo Blil-101 Ranch military spec tacle, "Preparedness," are, it is an nounced "loaned" by the United States War Department, which has granted the men furloughs in order participate in the display and to genuineness. The display has I ready had a very marked effect in atimulating enlistments. Col. Wm. P. Cody (Buffalo Bill) actively par ticipates in the military maneuvers as well as in the battle between U. S. cavalrymen and a band of Indians led by the famous Flying Hawk, which is a stirring feature of the ex hibition. The Buffalo Bill-101 Ranch shows will be here Saturday.
