BOWING DOWN BE FORE CLAY IMAGES, The esteemed News-Observer has become finally satisfied, that it worshipped wrongly though un wittingly, at the shitae of Insur gency, in the hopetht aam these1 seeming-to-be-reformen?) not only the country weuld be the gainer, but Democracy through tbp change of political heart of these Insur gents, would profit thereby. Says the News-Observer: One year ago the country resounded with praise of the Republican Insur gent Senators because it believed they were leading a fight to free the coun try from partisanship in legislation with "the interests." They made a nota ble fight against the Payne-Aldrich tar iff act and their speeches did much to expose the iniquities of that "bill of abominations." They returned this session upon the flood tide of populari ty. They awoke to find themselves fa mous, and all they had to do to retain popular confidence was to continue the policy they laid down at the last sess ion. It is a matter for regret that they did not remain as firm for tariff reduc tion and against privilege and section alism as they seemed then. It is impossible for the Journal to accept as sincere, except par enthetically, this grief of the News and Observer over the tumble of Insurgency, the revealing of the "clay in this image that promised to be genuine political gold. It would be natural for the News-Ob server, as the Democratic organ of this State, to wish to see political reforms that tended to help its own political side. While depre cating the fall of Insurgency, sim ply from the position of one view ing the fall of an apparent right eous movement, the NewSjObserv- er might shed tears or express re grets, but those who accepted seri ously the reform protestations one year ago or at any time, of Sena tor Bristow and his ilk, must have been wanting very badly to wot hip something. Genuine Pem ocracy has the principles to make lor reform and advancement of the people's interests. Straying after fake gods leads to but one end disaster. The world has good prist siples, enough to cover eveegfthing rjolltical. social and religious. It - Is only when man refuses to ac knowledge principles as being live and vital, that .the chase bpgiof iter 'oologies and isms. There are men who stand for principles, and any one can see thekr genuine ness. It is enough to foflow these and not be tempted awafy by MiBe andmauy promise. GUIDE PUBLIC HIGHWAY ' rOSTB. The arrival of the automobile, the establishment of county,, state and national highways, calls for ike establishment of guide pocrtg. to tell of distances and places to those who travel these highways. Tbe guide post has . always been a familiar sight on public roads. On some country roads the mile post serves to tell the distance be tween places. But' the country mile and guide post are not always decipherable and seldom are per manent or established and main tained so as to offer real service to those who travel the highways. livery traveler wants to know . where he Is when on train, auto or boat The transportation com panies get out spledidly illustra ted and historically edited, books and pamphlets for the special ben cfitoflhtir patrons.

I , I : TAX VALUATION' ; For weeks tax assessors in North Carolina have been endeavoring to solve the alove question. That many have failed is not due to any desire to work hardship upon 1 ' 11 i property owners, nor is it due lo ignorance, but to a ci.,i, ,,r I,,,.-, i conditions that would perplex a Solomon. Prosperity is a term that may misapply to an individual. There may be gains in property values of holdings, and yet the property itself fail to be productive to cor respond to its increased assessed valuation, based upon surround ing property. Such an instance may be found in Craven, county. Farmers have protested against the increased as sessed values of their farms, as turned in by the tax assessors this year. The board of equalization have the matter to consider, and just what their decision shall be remains to be seen. L'ut take this local situation, it is one that ap pears contradictory. There tan t DO question but that farm prop erty is more valuable than at the last assessed valuation. At the, same time these farms have not! nedfrom themselves an amount money to warrant any increase in valuation. The reason of this has been due to continued bad crop years. And yet farm values with in a few miles of this county are considerably higher, and these farms have borne from themselves products that in money realization was equal to tbe increased tax to be paid through the assessed high er valuation of the farm property. The Craven county protest against increase of tax assessments on farm property, is not unreason able. The misfortune of continued bad crop years has made their land less valuable to them, instead of any increase as per tax assess ors, so that bad crop years have made their lands a burden because of their failure in productiveness. A full allowance for local ootid i tions should be given these farm holdings by the board of equaliza tion. ( , The Wallace shipyards in Vancouver, B. C, were destroyed by five.

I suffered from a dull pain across my loins, and this was accompa nied by an extreme lameness in my back. I also had inflamation of the bladder and the passages of the kidney secretions pained me. The use of Doan'B Kidney Pills which I procured from the Bradham Drug Co, removed all the lameness and pain and improved my condition in everyway." (Statement given Jan! 25. 1908.) CONFIRMED PROOF.
