What Indiana Will Know
(Washington Herald)
Indiana probably will be the Ver
dun of the coming campaign. The
State has furnished a presidential
candidate for the Prohibition party
and vice presidential candidates for
the Democrats and Republicans. Fur
ther, the State is to elect two United
States Senators, one for a full term
and the other for four years. After
it is all over, Indianana at least will
know it has been in the fight.
Good Record for the Sand Clay
fvg. (Winston-Salem Journal)
There is at least one cause for en
couragement among all the reports
of damage and destruction by flood
in this section. The men in charge
of road construction and upkeep say
that the heavy rains of the last few
days have not materially damaged
any of the sand-clay roads.

Campaign Managers Will Be Mere
Figure Heads. Work on the Dem
ocratic Campaign Book is Pro
gressing Bapidly Mexico Will Be
the Issue.
WASHINGTON Within the next
few days the presidential campaign
will be on in earnest. At the perman
ent headquarters of the Democratic
national committee here work on the
Democratic campaign book is pro
gressing rapidly.
The majority view is that Mexico
will furnish the principle issue of the
campaign and everybody is waiting
to see what happens on the southern
border before predicting the outcome.
It is generally conceded that if
war should come and if Wilson
should prosecute it successfully, he
ought to be re-elected. If, on the
other hand, definiteness of action re
garding Mexico is still lacking, the
advantage will be with Hughes, since
the best information here is that,
while there is a tremendous "keep
out of Mexico" feeling throughout
the country, there is also a growing
feeling that something like a definite
policy should be established.
That Hughes will not delay a mo
ment in taking up the Mexican situ
ation is the general opinion of men
who know him. They say he will be
ready with a criticism and a remedy
and will leave no doubt in the minds
of the public as to what he would do
if he were President.
Both sides are apparently more
confident than usual. For the first
time in many moons both parties are
united. William Jennings Bryan is in
the Democratic camp and Theodore
Roosevelt is in the Republican camp.
The two famous trouble-makers are
going to be good and this will un
doubtedly help.
The belief is that Congress may get
away about the 20th of August and
if it does all the senators and con
gressmen will have time to go home
and get into the campaign. Each
side promises to fight from gong to
gong and, unless something unexpect
ed develops out of the foreign situa
tion to distract the attention of the
people, the hottest political cam
paign since 1896 is promised.

The Death of Captain Sallie
.(Charlotte Observer)
It is possible that among the read
ers of The Observer there are some
Confederates who were cared for in
the Richmond hospital of Captain
Sallie Louisa Tompkins. If so, the
news of her death will be sure to call
up pleasant memories in connection
with her hospital work. In order
that she might continue the opera
tions of the private hospital she had
opened in Richmond during the early
part of the war, Miss Tompkins was
commissioned a captain of cavalry at
the request of President Davis and
she kept her hospital open at her own
expense until the close of the war.
She was one of the most noted wo
men of the Confederacy and the story
of her sacrifices is to be inferred
from the fact that she died an inmate
of the Home for Confederate Women
in Richmond.
AVhen the Strike Comes
(Greensboro Record)
When the big railroad strike
comes, and it is coming, it seems,
wonder what a road like the South
ern will do. One thing certain, the
general public will be obliged to pay
all the bills. That is the theory of
the quasi-public railroad business in
this country. The only trouble is the
general public likes to fight against
the inevitable until the service be
comes wretched and the stockholder
becomes beggared.
A Park feu Women
(New York World)
Kansas City contributes to sex dis
crimination a park exclusively for
women. It will be interesting to dis
cover whether women take better
care of a park for their sole use than
crowds of both sexes take of parks
generally.
. . . .Keep on the Safe Side. . . .
(Lumberton Tribune
There is some talk that should the
Republicans get in power they would
do away with the Federal Reserve
Act which is one of the best laws
ever passed. The safest thing is to
keep President Wilson and a Dem
ocratic Congress for an other four
years.
Very True.
(Durham Herald.)
Even if the law did permit one to
claim salvage for the recovery of
property washed out by he flood it
would be a mighty mean man who
would take it.

entertain the Veterans. There was
plenty to eat and nice comfortable
lodging. The movies were free to the
Veterans and there was four as good
as in the State. A free trip to the
famous Wrightsville Beach with a
ball in honor of the Veterans proved
to be interesting features of the oc
casions. The Veterans enjoyed the
old Virginia break-down and a sqjiare
dance and everyone present enjoyed
it to the fullest extent. The State
Reunion will be held in Durham
