It looks like the Southern manu facturers are opposed to a wholesale reduction in the tariff schedules. A man who fell into a vat of glue was so stuck on himself he sud for $2,500 damages. His lawyer will stick to him till the very last. If we break a moral law our con science in troubled; if we break a natural law our bodies will suffer, and if we break a human law our social relation will not be secure. With five thousand barrels of old Kentucky rye washed from a Louis ville warehouse and floated away by the flood, we begin to realize that the water wagon is no longer a joke. . A good road is the highway of civilization. Show the world the kind of road a people travel and the world will know what the people are without asking to see them. Editor F. M.Williams, of the Newton Enterprise and son-in-law of the late Gen. Ransom, is slated for the postoffice appointment in his town, Congressman Webb hav ing endorsed his application. He was an ardent supporter of Senator Simmons in last year's senatorial contest. The new tariff bill and income tax measure was introduced in Con gress Tuesday, its friends saying that its passage will redeem Demo cratic pledges at Baltimore. It places many articles on free list. North Carolina has advanced from 19th to 15th State in value of agri cultural products in the last three years. North Carolina is third as to agricultural values among the Southern States, Texas being first and Georgia second. The average member of Congress is not a business man, but will lis ten to reason backed by numbers. Labor organizations and manufac turers do not hesitate to ask Con gress to legislate for their interests. If the farmers Unions would make their wants known to their Repre sentatives, they would fare better at their hands. Prosperity begins at the farm. Graham county enjoys a unique distinction. There is not a negro in the county not one. This is the county mountain people tell of that does not allow a negro to stop with in its borders. He may pass thro' but he may not stop. Senator Overman is deeply en trenched in the regard and high re spect of the people of the State, and they are not going to displace him simply because some hungry poli tician wants to succeed him, well says the Concord Times. Score one for Stokes. Three town ships in that county carried the bonds for good roads, as. follows : Sauratown, $50,000. carried by 45 majority; Meadows, $40,000, car ried by over 100 majority; Dan bury, $15,000, carried by over one hundred majority. Education in health matters given to the child in the school is certain to have its influence in the home. The movement looking to the in struction of school pupils in the ele ments of hygiene is a good one and wherever put into practice has had beneficial results. Two of North Carolina's brilliant editors have recently passed be neath the shadows R. M. Phillips, of the Greensboro News, and James G. Boylin, of Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer. North Carolina journalism has lost two of its most valuable members and will be badly missed in ..their respective homes. They were both good men and we trust it is well with them, and that their spirits "are numbered with the just men made perfect. " The commission for the erection of a monument to the North Caro lina women of the Confederacy, given the State by Colonel Ashley Horne, has accepted the one-third size model by Augustus Lukeman, of New York. The monument is to be placed in 12 months. The de sign represents a woman of the Con federacy with an open book of the Civil War in her lap, telling her grandson of the trying days of the sixties. The base relief represents stalwart Southern soldiers going to the front and returning broken and crushed by the fortunes of war. Look after the Roads. The mere construction of a road is not sufficient to keep it in good shape, but it should be dragged often especially in bad weather and pack the dirt in the holes. It would be a good thing if the county could make arrangements with some of our public spirited farmers to drag the roads occasionally, paying them for their team and whatever actual expense they are put to. In this way our roads would be kept in good shape, and there woijld be found more sentiment in favor of good roads. Roads require constant attention to keep them in shape and saves the county money. President Wilson Delivers His v Own Message. President Wilson on Tuesday bridged the gap that for over a cen tury has separated the pilots of pub lic business the executive and leg islative branches of the government. Not as a cog in a machine, not as an impersonal political, entity, nor as a mere department of govern ment, but as the human President, he went to Congress to speak about the tariff. Standing before the Senate and house in joint t session as no other President had done for more than a 112 years, President Wilson stated simply and tersely what he thought should be done for the welfare of the country and asked his legislative colleagues, man to man, to aid in keeping the pledges of their party. With a sweep of decision that shattered precedents the President brushed. aside all imaginary bound aries between Congress and the ex ecutive office and rescued himself, as he expressed it, from that "iso lated island of jeaslous authority," which the Presidency had come to be regarded. President Wilson was asked what motive impelled him to renew the customs of over a century ago. The "reasons are very simple," he said; "I think that is the only dignified way for a President to ad dress Congress. Thus at the open ing session instead of sending an address up by a message and getting the clerk read it perfunctorily in the familiar clerk's tone of voice I thought that the dignified and nat ural thing was" to read it. It's a precedent which, it is true, has been discontinued a long time but which is very respective precedent." US BOYLAN-PEARCE CO. I BOYLAN-PEARCE CO. I ...
