The Durham Herald rises to re mark that the less Congress does the less we will have to grumble about. What kind of a town would this town be if everybody was just like me? Raleigh Evening Times. Let us apply the sentiment of the above paragraph to our town and see how it fits. The Durham Herald speaks a truth when it says: "Of course all farmers cannot raise two or three hundred bushels of corn to the acre, but if one farm er can do this the average farmer oV,iirl Uo !K1 tn raise more than twelve or fifteen." Dr. Lucius P. McGhee has been elected to succeed the late Judge James C. McRae as dean of the Uni versity of North Carolina Law School. Dr. McGhee is a native of this State, but has been living in New York City the past two years. He is about 40 years old and his friends say he is well equipped for the duties that will devolve on him as the head of the University law department. Tuesday the fifteenth smiled out in a perfect glee of rippling sunshine. A pleasant air of expectancy pervad ed the town of Roanoke Rapids and every body was looking forward to the coming marriage of two of the most popular young people in town, Miss Nannie Taylor and Mr. W. G. Hockaday. The home of Mrs. Ella Taylor was beautifully decorated in hollv and ferns, and betore the ap pointed hour many relatives and friends of the contracting parties gathered together to witness the marriage of their devoted friends. Before the ceremony Miss j.eme Price with her sweet voice sang "All for you."

Pence, Washington Correspondent for that paper. "A North Carolina girl, Miss Mary D. Spires, of Halifax county, who is a clerk in the Surgeon-General's office at the War Department, has been temporarily assigned to the position of social secretary to Mrs. Taf t.

The leading editorial in the February number of this magazine says: "The Republican party is busted. It hasn't a majority in the House and probably not in the Senate. It cannot enact the Taf t measures. It fighting elements are irreconcilable. Both want to see the democrats car ry the next House and elect a lot of Governors. Each proposes to really nominate its own candidate for Pres ident. This is official." The following article from the Ar canum, Ohio Times, is passed down the line: "It is little use for the local editor to waste his lungs and sprain hi? spine in trying to boom his town when citizens all stand around with their hands in their pockets and wait indifferently for something to turn up. So it is of little use for any one to continually pick flaws from theii home paper.

At the invitation of the county superintendants President Wright uuiaies are oiaey, uugm, ajukt, Weatherington, Swink, Poole, Page, ! and Professors Wilson and Ragsdale Williams, F. Bivins and others. It is very evident to any fair mind ed man that the present high cost of living is caused very largely by the high protective tariff given the coun try by the republican Congress and endorsed bv President Taff . We are ever anxious to see the farmers get ! good prices for their produce, but when this produce goes into the hands of the tariff made trusts and is sold back to the people at an extra high price, it is then time to call a halt. The republican party is responsible for the present condi tion of affairs and the people are not going to be fooled by any investiga tions the party may hold to try and place the cause some where .else. Lower the tariff and you will see a change mighty quick. What time will the clock stop ? In the death of Judge James E. Shepherd North Carolina is called imon to mourn the loss of a leading citizen and a distinguished lawyer and judge. He was a striking per sonality and one which was calculated to attract attention wherever he mighc be. It is no light task to fol low in the foot .steps of such a man. Upright, honest and just.
