RULE OR RUIN The opposition to another nomin ation for Theodore Roos6velt is mani festing itself iai a number of States. xThe old-line G. O. P. followers are openly contending that the father of the "Bull Moose" movement caused the defeat of the party four years ago. If Teddy fails to have his way he will likely be found trying to turn the same trick in 1916. In other words, if the Bull Moose can't get clover as a regular diet, he will buck; ;.. JB and in bucking he will pull dowo the I ?. , templeadU444 prophets. t A GEM Here is a gem from the pen of Henry W. Grady, of Georgia: "No one crop will make a people prosper ous. If cotton holds the monopoly r , under conditions that make crops impossible, or under ments that make other crops osuikfri tioral, its domination will be 4es potism. Whenever the greed for a money crop unbalances the wisdom of husbandry, the money crop is a curse. When it stimulates the gen eral economy of the farm, it is the profit of, farming." Qther allure- PREPAREDNESS - Dr. T. B. Hill, of Virgilina, was in Oxford Wednesday. The good man has not changed his views one jwhit as regards National preparedness. He stands with Bryan and Kitchen. Dr. Route 3, were Oxford visitors Wed- Hill is of the opinion that when jsijeaday. man walks around with a chip t) v shoulders he invites., trouble, but President Wilson, the school teacher, seems p think that the boys will not bother the big fellow who is ready to do battle. The President has had a lot of experience about the campus and are disposed to believe that he knofts a thing or two about hu man nllure. i POLITICAL LIGHT AHEAD ' The Democratic State Executive Committee has been called together at. Raleigh on March 8, at which time arrangements for the State campaign will be completed. The Charlotte Observer, one of the best political weather cocks in the State, says that all signs point to a win ning year for the North Carolina Democrats, with the admitted fact that a stiff fight is ahead of them. North Carolina Democracy has always been strong according to the strength developed against it. "The Repub licans will be early, in the field with the best organization in each of the 100 counties they have perhaps ever had, and the Democrats are well a-ware-of that fact. With the opening of Spring will come one of the pret tiest political fights known in North Carolina since. 1875." Public 5 Iiedger Want Ads ore read by the people.

He developed two leading points, the hu manity and the divinity of Christ with special emphasis on his saving power. The Granville circuit now embraces two churches less, Mt.
