Charleston is not so slov a:ter all.
She is going to ger into moving pic
tures. She has made a contract with
a moving picture concern to show
'Pictures, -of Charleston and vicinity

pictures to seven million people
within the next six months. It will
be good advertising for-' Charleston
and pleasing to the moving picture
patrons.
The death of Col. Henry C. Pock
ery brings genuine regret to hosts of
friends throughout the state. Col.
Dockery was the editor of the Rock
ingham Post, was one of the largest
farmers in the state and was inter
ested in many business enterprises.
He was prominent In republican pol
itics for years, but for the last few
years had not taken an active part
In the affairs of his party. For eight
ye.ars he was Vnited States marshal
for this district, making his home in
Raleigh during that time. Through
his residence here he has many per
sonal friends In Raleigh. Here, as
in his own community, he was es
teemed as the highest type of citizen
ship. He had reached the age of
sixty-one. .
A preacher in Philadelphia is re
sponsible for this statement:
"Conditions In the business world
are such today that the business man
must take gross advantage of his
competitors or go to the wall. Com
petition is too keen. As a matter of
fact, no successful business man in
modern times can be honest."
Most honest men, we believe, will
tuke issue with that statement. Suc
cess is more sure to come to the
honest business man than to the one
who lets dishonesty creep into his
methods. The great majority of
successful business men are honest
men not only in their business deal
ings but In the assertions they make,
whether In private or public, and
that is probably more than can be said
for the preacher who gave utterance
td the above. Of course there are
dishonest business men. Many of
them are in high places and exerting
a baneful influence, but in numbers
they are, in comparison with the
great majority, few Indeed. There
are 'some preachers who defile the
cloth ,but their defection but empha
sizes the constancy and sacredness
with which the great majority keep
their vows. No, business men arc
Dot all thieves. We believe rather
that this preacher was only endeav
oring to attract attention. But even
if he Bpokeroi.cpnvictloh, he was
mlBtsken and Will discover it in the

RODGERS' FLIGHT.
Aviator Rodgers has made a now.
record for aerial navigation in his
flight across the American continent,
from New York to Pasadena, Cali
fornia
His trip is the longest on
record in this country
if not in tlio
I
world. The distance covered by him
Is 4,231 miles. He left New York
September 17 and .landed at Pasa
dena November 4. It will thus be
seen that it took him nearly seven
weeks to make the trip. His actual
flying time, however, was 82 hours
and four minutes, or not much less
than a mile a minute for the time in
the air. '
His flight is regarded as a triumph
in aviation. Of course it shows the
Imperfections of the flying machine,
as well as its possibilities. The long
delays, because of wind and weather,
show that the aviator has not yet
conquered the elements. They also
give renewed force to the latest ef
forts' -of -the-' Wright brothers to de
vise a machine, that--will fly against
the wind and maintain itself in the
air without power, 11 necessary 1 ne
Rodgers flight, by the way, was made
in a Wright machine. The possibili
ties' are shown in the remarkable re
cord for time made while in ' llw air
and in the endurance. Mr..- Rodgers
has shown wonderful courage. The
trip was a perilous one. Any flight,
in the present stage of development
of the aeroplane, is perilous, for that
matter. But this trip across coun
try, .much- of it -sparsely -.populated.
across-.high' mountains' and ileseri
waste, was especially hazardous,
Mr. Rodgers has won renown a-i
:m aviator and that is his only re
ward, as he missed a 0,000 prize
by a few days. Aliotit a year ago
Mr. William Randolph Hearst ''. offeis
ed $"111,111111 to the first man who
would make the flight before Octo
ber '.3.0, 1911. ! Mr. Rodgers hoped to
win this when lie started, but the
difficulties he encountered kept him
from winning the prize by a few
days, the. Hearst offer, expiring - five
days before lie reached .-: -the . Pacillir
coast.' ..
Whatever may be individual judg
ment upon tile proposition in gen
eral, it is not likely that Raleigh is
the only town in the state where
blind-tigering is being found a fairly
profitable industry. Charlotte Ob

We do not claim all the honors in
this - direction. We would not even
claim the prize as the leading blind
tiger town in the state. But we have
them here, selling liquor, if not open
ly, at least so freely'tiiat almost any
citizen of the city can point them
out. It is a distinction we are not
proud of and publicity is not made
for advertising purposes. The peo
ple who believe in law enforcement
ire patient and 'long-suffering, but
one of these days they are going to
put the screws on the high class
blind tiger so tight that he will find
it more profitable and requiring less
physical : labor to engage in some
other business. In sending a'. 'prom
inent.' man to the county roads Dur
ham has pointed the way. These
men would not care much for a fine
We haven't, even reached the fine
stage in Raleigh yet for this class of
tiger, but when we do get stirred up
we may pass that over and 'jump
from the do-nothing stage to the
chaingang stage. When we decide
to try the Durham plan our 29 blind
tigers will drop down to a much
smaller number in quick time. The
man who will gladly pay a fine and
continue in the business, will have
found his trade scattered after com
pleting a sentence in the chaingang

It Is All Wrong.
The Lincoln Times (Republican)
says: ''
: Hon. M. 1.. Shipman, state com
missioner of labor 'arid .printing, last
week issued an official statement of
the cost of raising cotton in North
Carolina. He says it costs the farm
ers of this slate li cents a pound.
He is trying to convince farmers that
they are making money selling cot
ton at S cents; The Democrats are
turning heaven and earth to convince
farmers that "tariff reform" has not
ruined them. - . -'
If, as the Times intimates, Mr.
Shipman is playing politics in the
"official statement" he has issued,
our contemporary convicts .itself of
doing the same thing. And both
views of the matter are all wrong.
On the present basis of expenses,
the farmer cannot make money grow
ing cotton at X cents a pound, neith
er has "tariff reform" ruined the
farmer. There has been no tariff re
form in the sen-e. implied .by ronr Lin
coln contemporary, The country is
still living under the Payne-Aldri-.il
tariff, which no Democrat endorses
and which very few Republicans are
found to defend: If our contempor
ary means that it is the Democratic
program .whose advance influence has
'ruined the farmer" it is the nearest
approach' we have seen to an admis
sion of Republican defeat in the next
election.- Greensboro, News. ,
How's Your Aim?
The first thing in life is to have an
aim. Select your target, as it were,
and then aim just as straight as you
can and tire. You may miss the
mark the first time, but reload and
shoot again.,'. Don't get excited on
account of failure No, 1, or even
Nos, I!. 3 and so on. because excite
ment, never wins put. Hysteria is
not conductive of a steady hand, or
1 clear eye .and without these yon
are not very apt to ring ine .onus
eye. Some tew, very tew people ac-
Identally hit . the gong, by shooting
at random, but the majority 01 folks..
he great majority never came w Ith-
n a yard of tae mark by such shoot
ng. So don't waste your ammuni
tion which in this respect is . your
energy and your time, both very val
uable to you. because energy useless-
exivended means weakening you
for the struggle for attainment and
oss of time cannot be recovered and
therefore means fewer days for yon
to enjoy success "should you grasp it.
So first take aim. and second let
your mind be calm, your hand steady
and your eye clear. If you haven't
an aim, that is if you haven't placed
your vision on a target, how can you
expect to win the prize? If you have
aimed arid missed the mark and get
so disgusted that you become mad
and excited, or "lose your head, you
have greatly lessened -your chances
of tanning the bell. The well drilled
soldier is worth three of the -untut
ored. crude-, fighter:'.' 'that has been
shown time and time again. Wil

That Dutch Treat.
Drinking and then paying for one s
own drinks is uie meaning ui , iu
words "Dutch Treat." It is contend
ed that this is the only way to drnk
if a person insists on drinking and
the German-American National Alii
ance is going to endeavor to establish
the custom firmly in America.
When two or more Germans go to
a beer garden, restaurant or cafe to
gether none of them thinks of buy
ing food or drink for his companions
finv the Knoxville Sentinel. Each
orders what he is able to pay for
consumes it ff he likes, orders more
if he is not .satisfied and goes away
when he pleases. It, needs no argtt
ment that this is better manners as
well as a safer custom than the Am
erican practice of lining up at a bar
and several, In some cases, each or
dering drinks for all he happens to
know, and In some cases that he does
not know or care for. The American
habit is essentially vulgar. It is un-
known'anywhere in Europe, except
among the Americans, who may be
traveling there. The American habit
almost necessitates 1 occasional intern
perance on the part of men who visit
bars at all. To refuse to buy a round
of drinks after drinking at another'
expense may subject one to the sus
picion of meanness, being a dead
beat. To refuse to drink sometimes
elicits insults, as it is taken as an in
suit by many of befuddled brain.
The German idea in beer restau
rants has made surprisingly slow
progress In this country. It may be
because the German newcomers and
their offspring wislv to adopt Ameri
can habits. However there are in

It is an entirely wrong principle
in education so to direct the work of
students that they can Justly ac
quire the idea that what is in'. view
is the acquisition of the knowledge
of facts and ihethods. It Is im
portant that one should learn the
principle facts of history or physics,
for example. It Is Important that
one should get a good acquaintance
with the methods and ''principles'. of
arithmetic or geometry. Without
denying tlie great usefulness of such
knowledge, it should still be main
tained that eduction has nronerly
linuch higher object. . That object.
is the discipline of the mind. This
should be the standard before every
teacher. It should,, as opportunity of
fers and as the developing mind is
able to grasp it. be repeatedly set
before the student.
The principle may be well illus
trated in connection with gymnastic
