By reference to the vote of this
district in 1908 it will be seen that
there were some very radical
changes, especially in the counties
of Alamance, Durham. Guilford,
Rockingham and Surry. In 1908
we lost Alamance county by 37
votes. This year we regain it by a
majority of 312. In 1908 we ' car
ried Durham by 20 votes. This
year we carried it by 692 votes, a
change of 672 votes in our, favor.
In ljJQS we lost " Qrajige by 64
votes. We " carried Orange this
rime hv 230. making a chance of
294 votes. We lost Person in- 19v
08 by 1 80 votes. We regained
Person in this election with a
majority of 66 votes, making- a
change of 249 votes in our favor,
We lost Stoke at the last election
by 681 votes. At this election .we
make a gain of 268 votes in Sto
kes cocnty. In 1908 we lost Surry
county by 1001. At this election
Blair craaied the county by 56
votes only, .making a net gain in
our favor of 465 votes. It will be
seen that we gainad in Stokes and
Surry 733 votes at this election
over. 1908. The largest gain: were
made in Rockingham county,
which we lost lin 1908 by , 2 1 3
votes. We carried the county at
luesireto acknowlege my in
debtedness to the press of this dis
trict and the Newsand Observer
of Raleigh, to the ounty Chair
man ofeach of the'eounties of the
district, to the Precinct Chairman
in each of the townships of this
district, and the friends of Major
Stedman and leaders and workers
of the party who have stood to
gether as a unit in this election, r
While the duties devolving upon
me were exacting and the labor of
the campaign exceedingly heavy,
yet the willingness with which the
Democrats of the district, and es
pecially of Guilford county, per
formed the most trivial service re
quested, and the consideration
shown me at all times made the
task one which I shall always rec
ollect with pleasure.

The report published through
out the State of the sales of to
bacco made by the various mar
kets did our town a very, great
injustice, as they 'gave us credit
for only 826, 310 pounds, when
as a matter of fact we sold al
most that amount in one . week
during Oct. . .
The actual . sales' were -one
million three hundred and twen-)
ty thousand four hurdred"
and thirty five pounds; which
places us ahead of some of . 'our
neighbors. -
Just watch Roxboro. we are puV
ling f oi ' ten million ppunds . and
if our tarmer friends stick to
the market as they have been
doing this season we will : get it.
Why not? It is raisedt here, ands
prices are, just as good on the

The work of the orphanages of
North Carolina appeals most
strongly to reason and ,to syrn
pathy. These institutions are
worthy of the heartiest support
of our people and they have a
large place in their interest and
gifts and efforts.
At the Thanksgiving season
minds and hearts tarn especially
toward our orphanages and
many are the practical expres
sions of gratitude made to tins
cause by a people richly blessed.
These love-prompted gifts to
carry on this blessed work ith
these little ones surely must be
acceptable to God, the Father of
the fatherless.
It seems that, here in North
Carolina, Thanksgiving Day has
all v sp.t aDart as
"Orphans' Da'Vand we rejoice
that this is true. The, contri
butions made at this season help
very much indeed in the sup
port of our various orphanages.
trtiot, thn.t p.vp.n larsrer of-
fori n era will be made at tins
Thanksgiving season than ever
before to the end that these in
stitutions niay be the better able
to perform their service. They
need funds for maintenance, for
improvement and for the exten
sion of the work. : -
Want Prison Sentences.
Washington; Nov. 16.Prison
sentences for conivcted trust of
ficials; rather than the imposition
of fines, is to be ufleea, by tne ae-
partment of Justice, according to
:he present program of Attorney
General Wickersham, who heard
oday mat a convicted company had
reduced the wages of its employes
in order to regain the amount as
sessed by a federal court.
The attorney general was in an
indignant frame of mindjwhen' he
learned of a'report that the Impe
rial Window Glass company, ol
Pittsbure. whose -officers were re
cently fined $1 0,000 because of an
alleged violation of the anti-trust
law, intend to reduce the wages of
about 700 employes This sort of
retaliation does not appeal to the
attorney general, ; and the attitude
of the Pittsburgconcern mayresul
in the future insistence UDon the
part of the jattorneysof the depart
mpnt that Federal courts shall im
pose prison sen ences. J
It is understood that the attorn
ey general has some facts in his
possession that may result iri fur-
Ither action agafrist the Impeiral
company,' under the - Sherman
law.
The Durham Hearld says; "As
the Democrats' do not want to
bring the matter up 1 and the
RepubUcans will be afraid, pro-
hibition will be allowed to rest
for awhile." It is'pur opinioh
tnat'the prohibition questohin
