C aa aeoond-elaM matter. New Bern, N. C, June 15. 1906. HAVE ELECTION PRECEDENTS ANY REAL VALUE? The statistical politician is very fond of getting out his iigures for previous election day returns, in order to form a political horoscope, from which ho wiiely makes out his returns, ard set tles an election weeks and months be fore it is held. But the political prophet, kike would he prophets of other events, is each year parting with his honor, and In coming less a character to whom those interested in political possibilities give attention, in order to cheer up their spirits, or brace up their courage. The reason of the discomfiture of the poli tical prophet is due to the increasing looseness of parties, and the consequent development of the independent vote: , as well as the clajs of indifferent voters. The recent Oregon election shows some singular figures, when former election returns are taken into consid eration, a democratic governor was elected, while a republican has been certified to as goo enough for the United States Senate. In 190(1, Bryan was defeated by 13,00", and in 1004 Roosevelt took the State by 43.(hi0. going back to 1892 it will be remember ed that Oregon's electoral vote was di vided between the republicans and populists. And as with Oregon, so it may be said of a number of other States, poli tically, there will be found in them a body of independent voters, who will disturb the politicans of the class who demand "regularity" of the voter, and who want the situation to always be that a nomination is equivalent to an election, and to do away with all those disturbing possibilities, which arc like ly to occur when the voters discover that those holding office are rendering an iiungs to memsenes, with no thought of the demand for a strict ac counting to their constituents. The head of the ticket unquestionably lends a powerful influence to any ticket when the leader be a man of force and character, but the weakling half way down or near the end of the ticket in this day is likely to be singled out and when the returns come in, will find him self left on the outside, for the people are demanding fitness for office, rather than the gift for graft or personal am bition as the only requisites. THE SEASON'S WARNINGS With this the beginning of the first of the summer months, warnings in the matter of health and warnings against physieal dangers, and against trespass of various kinds, are freely given out, and like the placards in the city parks, to keep off the grass, there often seems to be no place of comfort, or thing to enjoy, so that mankind must kept mov ing, at the same time is kept fully aware that to move, has itsdangeis. " '"" It liTfi (hi seemingly unimportant af fairs, that the greatest danger lurks, and only through the observance of ra tional living, that so many evils can be avoided, so that the matter of ninety degrees temperature need not moan the incapacitating of anyone from work or the season's pleasures. For in man kind if the mental condition be right, with good thoughts and a clean mind, the refusal to worry, and instead mak ing the best of every apparently bad situation, there will develop the physi cal reserve force which will be a bar rier to atmospheric influences, and heat or cold wU offer no obstacle te the daily pursuits. . In the physical life ef the people of any community, cleanliness of streets aad premises is the essential which means safety to every Individual in health, and good health is the greatest of economies, for the butcher and ba ker can more easily be paid than the doctor, and evdry attendant expense which sickness involves. Except far children, there should be no bewares, in the way over detention, or over indulgence in what the season offers so temptingly, and which the coolless person will thoughtlessly ap propriate for the individual gratifica tion of the moment. And yet so many of a larger, growth, children in impulse and mant of self restraint are to be seen on all sides, that the danger sign must be put up, the warning displayed,' lest there be the : invasion into precincts which should be avoided, and which if enteral, mean injury to the person, and even more serious, may en danger, if not destroy life. POSSIBLE BIG MINERAL DEVEL OPMENT IN N C. The visit of Thomas A. Edison, the great test of electrical geniuses to this State, and the object of his visit, name ly, to find out if eobalt was to be found in sufficiently rich deposits to be worth mining, is an event of very great im portance to North CaroKna, if, as Mr. EdisOn says, this mineral is to be found here in some rich beds. To quote Mr. Edison: "If cobalt is as thick and as rich in North Carolina as 1 believe, 1 will reduce the weight of storage batteries in automobiles fifty per cent, and the cost of traffic in cities fifty-five per cent;" and coming here he finds the possibilities of sufficient quantities for his work, and this prov- iig true, the great electrician promises' the world to revolutionize the sale, and consequently the pi ice of automobiles. Without going into many details, Mr. Edison is quoted in the Asheville Citi zen 'he electrical vehicles have been un- ler a great handicap because of the very heavy storage batteries we were forced to put in theni, and also on ac count of their high value. Under the present plans electrical autos cannot be mad without a large outlay of money and that has kept the people, the ma jority of the peopie 1 mean, from using them. An automobile is considered a luxury, even by our richest citizens. W hen i can equiu an automobile Dro- polled by the cobalt system the weight will be one-half, therby giving the new machine an enviable advantage over the ones now in use, and when the price is reduced so as to place them within lio reach of everybody. It means that the horse is the thing of the past. The urowded streets of the cities will be cleared and that will mean a great thing in some ot our largest towns. 'Hie development of the cobalt indus try in this State means tremendous things to the counties in which this mineral is found, and if cheap cobalt is to bring automobiles down in price, it means, as Mr. Edison says, the elimi nation of the horse from the streets of the cities, and this means cleaner streets and more healthy city living Every one will hope that Mr. Edison's estimates as to cobalt in North Caroli na will prove up to his needs, for no one doubu but that his genius will be equal to revolutionizing the auto industry. 1- - To Cur A Cold In On Day.

Special to Journal. V . '. Raleigh, June 12 The Southern Rail Way this afternoon made its answer to the complaints filed with the corpora tion commission, against changing the night schedule west from Raleigh. The answer is largely covered by the state ments contained in yesterday's appli cation 'to Judge Purnell, for an order restraining the commission from impos ing penalties on the road for violating the order made Saturday night, forbid ding the change of schedule. The Southern contends that it either had to disobey the order or else stand suits for failure to operate the train as it had advertised. It contends that the act is not in contempt of the commission, because the latter is not a court, but merely an advisory board, that the new train is a great conveni ence to eastern and western North Carolina. The attorneys for the com plaint say the act of the Southern is high handed, and unprecedented, and it s purpose is to have Judge Purnell an ticipate the action of the commission. The railway denies this. The hearing is set for Friday morning. Social Happenings at the Mecklenburg. Chase City, June II. The guests of the Mecklenburg enjoyed very much the recent visit of Mr. L.
