Dtctlouuiee are like wite hea ths worst la btter than none, tod tba bait caunot be expected ta (o quit tru. Samuel Joha- Eev. J. L Boyd, an evangelist of Mississippi, who is conducting a se ries of evangelistic services at the As sociate Reformed Presbyterian church, took occasion to refer last night, in a most kindly way, to be sure, to the fact that, although he had been here engaged in ihese services for five days, no pastor of any church in the city had attended the services or shown any interest in them whatever. Mr. Boyd said this was his first expe rience of the kind in his evangelistic work. We regret to say that Mr. Boyd's gentle criticism is a just one, and we hasten to assure him that the matter is iu no way personal to him. While the fraternal feeling among the ministers here and between the de nominations is beautiful, it is a fact which we have ofien noted that our ministers do not co-operate with each other when there is occasion for a special service or services We re member particularly that when one of th pastors of the city conducted a series of religious meetings for a week or more, not a pastor of any other denomination in Concord attended a single service. Mr. Boyd is here, he says, ta benefit the people of the com munity and for his own denomina tion particularly. And in this effort be should have the co-operation not only of our ministers, but of ihe peo ple of the entire city. Caariott CbroakaW. Mr. CVarlas B.

TWy era (rest First, it has succeeding ia "weeding the politicise frees tba ianaramost aonaeil af the farmer." Next it has ispwnit ep os the farmer thai "ihe uaprov anient of his lot rests sot ia the hands of eoate far-off 'nplifter,' or flv-bv-aifit reformer, bat with himself." Ia du inf thi-, the Farmers' Union has suc ceeded in doing something that bo farmer' organisation before it has been able to do. Summing up in a material way. President Barrett sav-: "W have 1,628 warehouse, mainly for storing cotton. Mississippi lead? the warehouse movement, with a mil-, lion dollar corporation. "We own and operate a larger num ber of elevators snd terminal mgtnciej for the handling of grain. "We own snd operate 245 packing houses. "We own and operate dozens of newspapers. "We own and operate coal mines. "We own and operate several banks, flour mills, creameries, pickle factories, several hundred stores, an implement factory, a phoapaie plant, a phosphate mine. "We own snd operate tobacco fac tories and warehouses, produce ex changes, fertoilirer faitoies, peanut warehouses, a peanut recleaner, many cotton grading schools, co-operative life and fire insurance companies. " It is explained (hat the Union does not officially own these concerns. It is not a close corporation. In every instam-e, ownership or control rests in individual members, consorting to gether for their own benefH. that the Farmers' Union has been able to accomplish all this in so short a time is evidence of good generalship and fine management and goes to show how well a farmers' organiza tion can get along without the aid of the politician. TEX OOXSUXT&'B DOLXJLS. Oeiy A beet U Casta ef II It looks at last as if there is to be real peace in Mexico. The Madero revolution has succeeded, Diaz will leave the Presidential office, general governmental affairs will be adminis tered by Madero and De La Barra, while the fourteen men named by the revolutionists as Governors of the va rious States will be given official recognition. We hope this turn of affairs will bring improved conditions in Mexico. Diaz accomplished much to advance the material interests of his country, probably more than any other man conld have accomplished, bnt he did little for the education and intellectual development of the masses of bis people. If the next Presidential election is carried by the Democrats, it is prac tically certain that they will also control the Senate, Should the Be- fwblieani elect the President, there will still be the possibility of Demo cratic control of the Senate. The sub stitution of four Democrats for any Republicans would make the Senate a tie; if the Democrats held the vice-presidency they would there fore control the Senate. These Re publicans face prospect of being sne- ; oeeded by Democrats: Briggs, Norris, r Brown, Curtis, Dixon, Fry, Gamble ? Md Knon. ". ' It is stated that a special -term of Durham court will probably be called for the express purpose t trying the 'blind tiger" eases. If all the blind tigers -were captured in the different cities and . communities, '.- special term of court would bo necessary in very county in the Bute. ' Ootton Ties May be Made Near the Cotton Fields. Baltimore Sin. The Southern cotton planters use square bale ot cotton is bound by them, and a 12,000,000-bale crop re quires some 50,000,000 in a single year. 11ns immense business controlled bv the Steel Trust and though there are immense steel mills in Alabama, Ten nessee and other cotton-raising States, toe ties have ben made in Pittsburg, and in addition to a lar profit to the trust the planters pay the freight. The Birmingham Age-Herald ander- tands that fhe Helena mill is devoted to the manufacture of ties, and con siders this an indication that the trust is to have competition. It is an ano maly that the ties with which cotton is packed are made hundreds of miles away, when the steel is right in the cotton belt and the Southern mills are shipping their products North. The farmers free list." now under con sideration in the House, proposes to take the duty off steel ties and is de igned to bring a measure of relief to the cotton planter who has been held in the grip of the steel combine and the lute-bagging trust. Perhaps the changed conditions will impel the Steel Corporation to manufacture the ties hereafter in the South, where they are used, and not in the Pennsylvania nulls, far away from the cotton fields. A Pie for Father, Too. Emmitsburg, Md., Chronicle. Father still remains the under dog. On "Mothers' Day" everybody is ex pected to turn out in best bib snd tucker and do the grand. Father may don his ectastic apparel if he chooses, and, of course, he will ba expected to band up the nosegay and come across with a pretty speech and all that, but no chimes will be ringing for him. Help for the downtrodden father, the provider for everything that mother cooks, the human steam engine of the home factory, the check-writer of the ranch and the target for the aad iron, the broomstick and the rolling pin. All honor to mother, but save lust one cold bun a small one, if need be-- for poor old dad. '' - High Speed Hearing. Miami Record. Two negroes got into a row with a white man.

State Should Buy Text Books. Durham Sun. The time for the selection of text books for the public schools of the late, for the next four years by the text book commission is a number of months in the future, yet the sgits- n has already begun. The placing of the selection of text books into the hands of a commission ml making the use of books uniform throughout the state was a wise plan. still wiser snd more beneficial plan would be for the state to pay for these text books. The buvinr of text books is a great hardship on the poorer class people, and the lack of books without doubt keeps many worthy pu pils out of school that should be there. In manv cases this lack of text books I due more to the unwillingness of the parents to make the expenditure I rather than their inability to do so. In I her case, the young are deprived f an education and the illiterate pop- ilation of the state is increased. The supplying of text books by the state as in it some-thing of the element of lalenialish, but so does the furnish-; ng of teachers for the schools. It is kin,) of paternalism to which even the most conservative could find no serious objection. It is being done n manv other states wkk excellent re- ults. With the continued growth of the fat-tory employed population in N'orth Carolina the peed becomes greater every year. It is hoped that Me selection of the commission will be made solely for the betterment of the facilities for se curing an education end not to satis fy any particular book house or po litical pull. The methods of teaching, while improving all the time, do not change enough in four years to war rant any extended change in the style of text books. The pupils of the school should be given the advantage of the real advancements in text book writing, but they should not be made the victims of every faddist who de sires to stuff them with a new break fast food sort of learning.
