During the past week the newspapers of the State have dis cussed the prediction of C. J. Woodson, of Shelby, that Senator Simmons would receive 95 per cent of the vote of Rutherford county in the senatorial primary. The statement of Mr. Woodson has been questioned by Governor Kitchin and some of his support ers outside of the county. In an article written in admirable good taste and published- in the Char lotte Observer, which appears on the first page of The Sun, Mr. A. S. Harrill, one of the leading cit izens of this county and a man of the highest character and inte grityclearly expresses the situa tion in this county in an exceed ingly conservative manner. The man who lives in Rutherford county and does not realize that more than ninety per cent of the voters of this county are enthusi astic supporters of Senator F. M. Simmons is either blind to existing conditions or is entirely unacquainted with the facts. The most enthusiastic Kitchin sup porters in this county cannot name more than twenty men in Kutherf ordton township who will vote tor Kitchin, and Judge Clark cannot count upon ten voted in Rutherfordton town shiD. There are .fully 300 Dem ocratic voters in Rutherfordton township. The townships of Green Hill, Union, Sulphur Springs, Chimney Rock, Camp Creek, Gilkey and Golden Valley have been searched with the ut most care and not a single man opposed to the re-election of Sen ator Simmons can be found- in those townships. In the remain ing .townships of the county the opponents of Senator Simmons are almost as few. In the entire rtnnntv it is rinnhttnl if more than 100 Democrats oppose the re-election of Senator Simmons. Certainly the opposition to Sena tor Simmons cannot -muster as many as 200 votes in the entire county. Any well informed Kit chin or Clark supporter will ad mit this condition. Mr. Wood son has merelv ffiven the trne rrn rii t inn in this imi n txr fTriAr will probably be 2,400 Democrat ic votes cast at the ; approaching olof inn f.wn vonrs a crr tVioro were about 2,200 Democratic votes cast. This " year Senator Simmons will receive at least 2, 200 votes in Rutherford county but of 2,400 votes, giving him a majority of 2,000 votes. ' The Sun would not have felt called upon to write of this mat ter but for the discussion which Mr. Woodson's statement caused. Now that the discussion has been started and in order that this county may have tne distinction of being the banner Simmons county in the State The Sun ap peals to all Democrats of the county to rally to the Simmons banner and make the vote of Rutherford county " as nearly unanimous as possible for Sena tor Simmons the true friend of the people, the sincere advocate of Democratic policies, the ablest find most prominent Democrat in the United States Senate. Let every Democrat who loves his party and desires its snccess a bove the gratification of personal ambition enlist in the undertak ing to make it unanimous for Simmons in Rutherford.

Says The Forest City Herald: Between Forest City and Ruther fordton is a beautiful stretch of coun try. A country for which nature has done much. Man has done much but how much more could man do with a little effort and.; a small outlay of money? Listen,. did it ever strike you what a sand clay road between these towns means to the country? A good wide well graded road cutting out the railroad crossings by keeping to the right it reaches the Seaboard depot. With a string of electric lights the en tire distance it would make the sweet est stretch of road in the old North State and what and ideal spot for resort hotels. Some day some enterprising fellows will come along and gather in those shady woodlands and turn them into gold mines Better that the people of the two towns throw little petty jeal ousies to the winds and join hands and push the road through and en hance the value of their holdinsr many fold. Let Forest City pay . one-fourth the expense Rutherfordton one-fourth and the county ' the balance and the burden would fail lightly on all. The entire county would derive the benefits and in a few years in place of a highway it would become a beauti ful street. FOB JUDGE CLARK. Campaign Manager issues State ment In Opposition To Simmons. (Political Advertising.) Every person in Rutherford county who will be interested in campaign literature favorable to Judge Walter Clark, is asked to , send his name at once by postal card or letter. It is necessary to select poll holders im mediately, and a suggestion of a Claris supporter for each precinct should be made promptly. . Bryan has denounced Simmons openly and savs that it is a mystery to the outside world why North Caro lina has tolerated him so long. Bryan has three times mentioned Walter Clark as a man eminently qualified for the Democratic nomination for Presi dent of the United States. A little leaf let has been printed about "The Special Interests and the Senatorial Campaign,'? containing- also Zeb Vance's opinion of Simmons, ; and a copy of this will be sent to anyone de siring it.

Gastonia. The improvements in the city jail, which have been going on for the past two weeks, are al most completed, and make this jail one of the most modern in the state. Durham. The senatorial . iconven vention for this district was held at Hillsboro and formally declared Victor S. Bryant of Durham and J. Li. Long, Jr., of Alamance, the Dem ocratic nominees for the state sen ate. Raleigh. There is much gratifica tion here over the announcement by C. P. Frazier of Greensboro that he will not accept the Taft Republican nomination for state superintendent of public instruction against J. Y. Joyner. Mr. Frazier's card puts his declination on the high plane that he believes the office of state superin tendent of public instruction ought to be placed above politics, and should not be included in the political scram ble for office. - Rocky Mount. One young man is dead, and there are several others in a most serious condition, little hope being held out for two who are ex tremely ill, as the result of ptomaine poisoning from ice "cream, served at a party near Red Oak in Nash coun ty. - Hendersonville.

Staton of Hendersonville, candidates for congress on the Democratic and Republican tickets. Gastonia. Attorney General . T." W.

Concrete examples of how a pro tective tariff operates are causing tne working man, the "poor man," to do a lot of thinking nowadays. He is be ginning to understand whether it is not about time to call a halt on the Republican practice of taxing the coat off his back and threatening him with the loss of his shirt and his socks if he does not submit. : All through the present tariff law, passed by a Republican congress and endorsed by a Republican President as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER PASSED, are to be found discrimina tions, the higher duty on theheaper article, the lower on the shoulders of those leasable to bear it the great er burden of the protective system. Here are some illustrations: The cheapest wool blankets bear a duty of 165.42 per cent.; the dearest, 104.55 per cent. Flannels, not more than 40 cents a pound, are taxed at 143.67 per qent.; over 70 cents a pound, 76.37 per cent Wool plushes, cheapest, 141.75 per cent.; dearest, 95.33 per cent. Knit fabrics, cheapest, 141 per cent.; dearest, 95.53 per cent. Stockings, worth from $1 to $1.50 a dozen, 76.37 per cent; from $2 io $3, 59 per cent. Hats and bonnets, worth not over ?5 a dozen, 62 per cent; over $20 a dozen, 35 per cent. Carpets, highest priced, 50 per cent; that used for mats and rugs, 126.88 per cent Women's gloves, unlined, 49 per cent; lined, 34 per cent; longest gloves, unlined, 42 per cent; lined, 29 per cent. Men's gloves, worth less than $3 a dozen, 66.28 per cent; costliest gloves, 14.45 per cent; leather, unlined, 44.58 per cent; lined, 29.50 per cent. Buckles, cheapest, 77.48 per cent; dearest, 26.3 per cent. ' Uncut diamonds bear a 10 per cent duty; imitation diamonds, 20 per cent. ; The humble firecracker bears a 97.02 per cent, duty, while elaborate fireworks bear but 70 per cent. . Matting, smaller and cheaper grades, 43 per cent; costlier, 24 per cent Watch movements, seven jewels, 66.02 per cent; 11 jewels, 40.41 per cent; 17 jewels, 34.45 per cent Underwear, cheapest, 56.90 per cent; dearest, 50 per cent Dress goods of wool, cheapest, 105.42 per cent; dearest, 94.13 per cent Velvets, cheapest, 105.22 per cent; dearest, 49.55 per cent. Silk handkerchiefs, cheapest, 77.44 per cent.; dearest, 59 per cent Scissors, worth 50 cents a dozen, 52.2J. per cent; worth $1.75 a dozen, 46 per cent Table knives, fancy grades, 57.40 per cent; bone handled,, 69.43 per cent. - Butcher knives, best grades, 52.10 per cent; cheapest grades, 93.55 per cent. Files, smallest, 81.29 per cent; longest, 36.81 per cent Shot guns, worth from $5 to $10, 47.67 per cent; worth over $10, 45.46 per cent - , These are only a part of the dis criminations, gleaned from a swift conning of some of the schedules. Re duced to" simplest terms, they mean that the poor, man is taxed higher than the rich man. - The Third Term candidate's favor ite reply to the telling, unanswerable arguments of Gov. Wilson is that the latter's opinions are based "not on ac tual knowledge and experience but by reading musty books on political economy." The Colonel himself at a tender age was -put at hard labor! It is not often that a man whose whole life has. been given up to politics and office-holding gets as horny-handed as Mr. Roosevelt in the ranks of labor and high finance! Wonder If Emerson was gazing upon a. Moose calf when, several decades ago, he wrote: "I am the owner of the sphere," Of the .seven stars and the solar year." President Taft congratulates the Republicans of Maine on what Chair man Hilles describes as "an old-fashioned victory- Another such and Vermont and Rhole Island would go Democratic in November. The card-stacking at Armageddon goes merrily on. Eight Taft electors in Missouri announce that If elected they will vote for the Third Term can didate. : Those who know and feel for Chair man Hilles say he really isn't to blame for the Republican presidential candi date's announcement tnat he is out of politics." " A Western Third Termer regrets that Roosevelt will not have time be fore election day to say half he means. He'll have plenty of time following it If you knew of the real value of Chamberlain's Liniment for lame back, soreness of the muscles, sprains and rhenmatic pains, you would never wish to be without it.
