November 20t& is the date aet (or
the rting of the paragraphera el the
Cardials, aad of count, Charlotte i
the city. Already we have begua to
ave a coia for the eccaafoa for e
that it will be aceded.
The colored people begia their fair
today aad prospect are bright for ha
auccssa. Last year the negroes lost
mosey oa the venture, but they have
tea read a auraber of ideas since then
and there is every reason to believe that
the venture this time will prove success
ful. Ia this age of co-operation, in which
soanufacturing and commercial in'er
ests have attained wonderful develop
ment and success by merging their
resources, it is not to be wondered at
that co-operation has slowly, but ine
vitably wended its way into rural life.
The old method of individualism is
gradually giving way to the co-operative
spirit, and the result is a greatly re
duced cost of living and lessened ex
pense of farming. North Carolina
farmers are leading the co-operative
movement, and it is gradually being
extended into every feature of com
munity life.
The telephone is one of the most
profitable business agencies that the
farmer can employ. It affords him
facilities for keeping in constant com
munication with the markets, provides
a sitting room for the community where
the families can assemble and discus,
the events of the day without the in
convenience of travel or loss of times
and is sickness and emergencies, it
renders a divine service. North Caro
lina farmers should encourage the build
ing of telephone lines. Local co-operative
companies can be formed and coun
try lines built at small expense.
The American horse is one of the
finest to answer the bugle call of the
European war. Representatives of
many foreign governments are in this
country purchasing horses for the
various armies of the warring nations,
and practically every State in the
Union is contributing cavalry material
to the belligerent factions. The Ameri
can horse is a utility animal and excell
that of any other country on the face
of the earth. He has plowed our fields,
fought our battles, and is the most
faithful of animal kind. His reputa
tion has extended to other countries,
and he is now going to perform the ser
vices for foreign countries, which he
has so faithfully fulfilled at home.
Well, the battle is over and the news
papers all over the country are this
morning breathing a sigh of Velief.
It has been a strenuous campaign for
the newspaper men but they have struck
valiantly to their posts and done well
the work before them. They are to
be congratulated.
The amendments carried by a fair
majority in Craven county and it is
believed that this is the cane all over
the State. However, the true facts
will not be known until the votes are
eounted.
The "Solid South", as usual, stood
by the principles of Democracy. Just
because the Democrats did not win
everything in the North and west
is ao reason that they are losing their
grip. It must be remembered that this
is an "off year" in political circles and
a large vote was not expected.

MERIT IN THIS DISPLAY
(Rock Hill Herald)
The Columbia State says that S. H.
Fairey, a York county farmer, has
thirteen varities of hay grown on his
farm on display at the State Fair. A
man who can grow thirteen kinds of
hay on one farm doesn't care whether
cotton sells for five or twenty-five cents

being the case, there is nobody left
to fight, and the war is over.
AffL ALDNE.
(Greensboro Record.)
We do not understand the kind of
sense displayed by theatrical managers
of some of the shows seen now and
then. What they think takes with the
people is in reality condemned by even
a goodly portion of what is known as
the tough element. A young fellow
expressed it when he said he did not
mind seeing a nude woman, but he
did not want everybody else to see her
at the same time. Managers of these
kind of shows are standing in their own
light, and do not seem to have enough
sense to know it.
THE STREET MASHER.
(Charlotte News.)
About the most contemptible little
object in this whole world is the street
corner masher.
Utterly of no account himself, a sort
of perennial street ornament, he hangs
about, in public places, and tries to
impress ladies passing with his fan
cied charms.
Sometimes his conduct develops into
impertinent remarks to strangers; al
ways his brazen stares is quietly resent
ed by the ladies passsing him by.
There are not many of this tribe
in Charlotte, but if there was some
way to force them to do a little actual
work rather than annoy passers-by
with their impudent officious conduct
the atmosphere of the streets would be
greatly purified.
Did you ever see the little masher
hanging on the corner, watching ladies
as they enter street cars or as they pass-
along the street.
His immodest staring is embarrass
ing to the lady of refinement, but
what can she do so long as he does
nothing avowedly against the law?
It is a pity that decency was never
bred into this herd of contemptable
little street loafers, who seem to have
the mistaken idea that they are both
smart and obsessing.
Flies Into Certain
Death; Saves Camp
RUSSIAN CRASHES WITH CRAFT
INTO AUSTRIAN PLANE, TO
PREVENT BOMB DROPPING
Paris, Nov. 2. One of the finest acts
of heroism oa aviation of war that
have yet been recorded is that in which
Aviator Captain Nesteroff met with
his death. Attached to a Russian
aerial squadron, Capt. Nesteroff, while
reconnoitring on his aeroplane, saw an
Austrian aeroplane flying over
the Russian troops, evidently with
the idea of dropping bombs on their
camps.
Capt. Nesteroff flew straight at the
enemy's aeroplane, drove right into it
and the two machines fell to the
ground, killing Nesteroff and the two
German officers in the other aeroplane.
, Capt Nesteroff was very well known
ia Paris, he studied tfreing a Villa
coublay, oa a Nieuport machine, in
19 10. ' He soon became a master of the
art and returned to Russia to instruct
others. He studied the flight of birds
and evolved a theory of his own on the
direction and control of flying machines.
He was the first to make many dar
ing" experiments in turning at an angle
of 85 degrees, planing to the ground
with the propeller Stopped, sliding
along oa one wing, etc. t;- -

BELIEVES STATES SHOULD HAVE
PUBLIC DE
FENDERS Editor Journal: While all states
have public prosecutors, district or
county attorneys, whose duty it is to
prosecute cases against persons charged
with offense, yet verv few st.nos li.ivi
public defenders.
The accused are often without means
and with no knowledge of how to de
fend themselves, and no doubt persons
are often either convicted or unduly
held simply because they have no one
to turn to for aid in time of need.
Strangers and indeed our own citi
zens without means and olten wit limit
help get scant sympathy from the pub
lic generally, when circumstances in
dicate that they are guilty of wrong
doing. It is such of our people that
need a public defender.
He should be selected with the same
care as a public prosecutor and would
be able to serve poor down-trodden
humanity when service, comfort and
help are needed.
Let us give this matter serious con
sideration, and see what we can do for
the advancement of this most humane
movement.

COWLES QUITS THE RACE.
Republican Former Congressman
Not Running for U. S. Senate.
Greensboro, Nov. 2. The with
drawal of former Congressman Charles
H. Cowles from the race for United
States senator leaves the Progressive
and Roosevelt Republicans in the State
without any State candidates to sup
port. No nominations were made for
corporation commissioner or judges of
the supreme court in the "conference,
held in Greensboro in August, so that
Mr. -Cowles was the only candidate,
This threw upon him the task and ex
penses of having his tickets printed, and
distributed in a hundred counties, so
when faced with this matter he with
drew rather than attempt to raise
money or pay for it himself. Chairman
Walser has attempted no campaign for
the party, and any effort to make any
showing this year has gone by the
board.
POOR OYSTERS.
Quantity And Quality Far Below
Standard.
Although the oyster season was offi
cially opened in New Bern two months
ago, the quantity and quality of the
bivalves being received here at present
is far from being all that could be de
sired. Oyster dredgers claim that the
supply is not large, and that as the
oysters are not very fat, they are taking
no more of them from the beds than
they can readily dispose of to the local
dealers. By the latter part of this
month it is believed that the bivalves
will have improved in quality, and that
the demand for them will be larger.
SALES ARE LARGE
( Much Tobacco la Being Disposed of
Large quantities of tobacco continue
to be disposed of on the New Bern
market each week and the proprietors
of the tobacco warehouse are more
than pleased with the sales. Reports
from Vanceboro are to the effect that the
sales at that place are also large. This
is the first season that the local ware
house has been in operation and the
record so far made is a most creditable
One. The acreage planted in tobacco
by the farmers of this County was com
paratively small, but present Indicat
ions point to the fact that this will be
increased next year..' A 'X '.".".'(

LIEVE IN WELL WORN
AXIOM
BEAUFORT, Nov. J The citiseas
of Beaufort are about to realise that
"all is well that ends welL" For
nearly a year the graded school's new
building has been tied up for one
cause or another; but now peace has
been made with the county commis
sioners, and the new building will
be put on the same square with the
court bouse, and the school board was
notified yesterday that the company
which purchased the bonds back in the
spring, but had been unable to take
them, was now ready to pay over the
money.
Trustees are advertising that bids
will be deceived up to the 15th of
November, and on that date the con
tract will be awarded for the building
and it is expected that by the first
of January the work will begin, it is
promised to have the building ready
for occupancy within three months
after work is begun.
The political eampaign in this coun
ty which has been vigorous from
the beginning, virtually closed Sa
turday with big rallies in different
parts of the county. The supporters
of the people's ticket had a big rally
and barbecue at Newport. The can
didates for the county offices on this
ticket were present and several of
them made sieeches. Rev. S. T. Sty
ron, Jr., candidate for the House of
Representatives, made the leading
speech, and he arraigned the "Court
House Ring" in bitter terms. Two
candidates in the county are minist-
s of the Gospel, and both of them
are candidates tor Representatives.
They are Rev. S. T. Styron, Sr., the
candidate on the people's ticket, a
Baptist minister and Rev. John W.
Sewell, a Free Will Baptist, the Pro
gressive party candidate.
Both the Democrats and the fusion-
lsts are claiming the county by a
good majority, nut to a disinterested
party it looks as if the ticket might
be split.

THIS NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS
NAMED BY PRESIDENT
WILSON
WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 4 A
little over thirty-seven thousand post
masters were appointed by the Wilson
administration between the time
came into power on March 4, 1913, and
last Saturday, October 24, when Con
gress adjourned. J his is about six
times as many as were ever appointed
by any other administration in the
same length of time. The record is due
to the presidential order directing that
all fourth-class postmasters be placed
under the civil service.
In the period between March 4, 1913,
and October 24, 1914, 5,553 presidential
postmasters were nominated. Of these
the Senate confirmed 5,408 and left 55
unconfirmed. The "leftovers" will in
all probability be given "recess appoint'
ments" by President Wilson who while
Congress Is In recess has the power to
appoint ahd place in office without se
curing the' approval of the Senate. '
In the same period 11,532 fourth-class
postmasters were appointed on the cer
tification of the Civil Commission ; 19,
932 on reports of postoffke inspectors,
and 204 by the department in cases of
unmarried posfmlitressea getting mar
ried and changing their names and other
methods, bringing the total' number of
fourth-class postmasters appointed up
to 31,668 and the grand total up to
37.074. ;,; i -J;''.:'
G, D. Ellsworth of Henderson,' N. C,
Chief of the Appointment Division, is

shifting 'of postmasters, and deserves
Unstinted credit for his untiring efforts
to replace every Republican postmaster
with a .staunch Democrat. ' ' . '

Old Mount Vesuvius
Is Again Esupting
INHABITANTS IN THAT YICTN-

GREATLY ALARMED V
NAPLES (via Rome), Nov. 2
Mount Vesuvius is again la eruptioa
aad the inhabitants ia its vicinity
have become greatly alarmed. Oa
Sunday special prayers were made
aad processions of people went ' to
favored shrines as a repetition of the
disaster of 1906 is feared. The act
ivity in the volcano first manifested
itself by deep detonation and rum
blings. This was followed by gigan
tic columns of smoke and soon there
after an abundant eruption of lava
began.
The last serious eruption of Mount
Vesuvius occured in the spring of
1906. Several villages were destroyed
and the property loss was estimated
at $20,000,000. About 500 persons
were killed and fifty thousand were
rendered homeless. Many nations, es
pecially the United States sent aid to
the sufferers.
There have been several eruptions
since 1906, but all were of a minor
character and no serious losses resulted.
Thaw Scores
LUNATIC-SLAYER ALSO SAYS
THE WORLD TRIED TO IN
TIMIDATE U. S. SUPREME
COURT.
New York, Nov. 3. Harry K. Thaw,
under custody in New Hampshire, has
sent to lawyers of New York and other
cities a pamphlet attacking the New
York World and others whose acts
have not pleased him. Many lawyers,
ncluding members of the District-At
torney s staff, received copies of the
pamphlet yesterday. On the front
page of the three-page document is
this letter signed by Thaw:
"My Dear Sir: Thomas ("arniody,
Attorney-General of New York saw
fit to make public in a signed state
ment to the press on June 12, almost
two months after Judge Aldrich's de
cision in my habeas corpus case, the
following accusation reflecting on this
decision: "He is at liberty because his
money has triumphed thus far over
the law."
"Therefore, I take the liberty of an
nexing herewith a complete copy of
Judge Aldrich's opinion in order that
you as a lawyer may decide for your
self whether Thomas Carmody's in
sinuation against the court was justi
fied."
Then follows what purports to be
Judge Aldrich's opinion in full. Thaw
then gives extracts from District-Attorney
Jerome's address to the jury
that acquitted Thaw on the ground
of insanity, in which Jerome is quoted
as saying: "If it were not a matter
for the administration of law, I for
one would say that Stanford White
came to a deserved death."
Thaw then takes up subjects which
he treats under the titles, "Thaw's
Temperate Habits Proven," "Hart-
ridge's False Testimony," "Insol-ence
of Carmody," "Perfidy of Jerome"
and "Intimidation of the United States
Supreme Court." Thaw then says:
"The intimidation of the Supreme
Court of the United States, attempted
by the New York World, and other
papers, is painfully conclusive that
respect for law and our highest court
has ceased sith them."
He then refers to the "unbridled au
dacity of the New York World's edi
torial of June 16,1914."
"What is the matter with The
World?" Thaw asks twice. "No
reader of The World," he continues,
"believes the accusation in its editor
ials that by confirming the decision of
Judge Aldrich it would prove that
the taint of money had affected both
the Federal Court of the New York
District and the highest tribunal at
Washington.
, "Lawyer Nicoll," says Thaw in an
other paragraph, "has appeared either
in the background or the foreground
of all opposition to Thaw.
