IS BOUND IN HONOR.
Tficsg Participating in Primary Should
Abide Easiilts.
The Raleigh New and Observer
tells of an effort in Wake county to
get out a citizens' ticket in opposi
tion to the Democratic ticket nomi
nated in the primary some time ago.
it says the men who entered the pii
mary are abiding strictly by the ac
tion of the primary, no matter
whether their favorites were chosen
or not. Telling of an effort by a
Republican to get a prominent Dem
ocratic farmer to go back on the
primary nominees and become an
independent candidate, the News
and. Observer says:
"The Democratic farmer listened
to the Radical emissary make Ins
proposition, and then quietly asked
him, 'Didn't you know I voted in the
Democratic piirnary last June:'
" 'Yes, but' began the Radical
icducer.
'And,' proceeded the farmer,
'don't you know that every man who
took part in the primary is in hono-
hound to support the ticket named
in if."
" 'Yes,' said the Radical, 'but
some of the men you voted for were
defeated, and '
" 'Slop right there,' said the
farmer. 'Every man who voted in
that primary is in honor bound to
support tho nominees. Some of the
men I voted for were not nominated
That does not affect my pledge of
honor. Indeed, I would have sooner
felt that I could break faith if all my
men had been nominated. When a
man enters into a solemn compact
and tries to break his agreement be
can no more be trusted because it
in politics than he could be trusted
in business.' v
" 'But you see,' added the Radical,
'circumslances alter cases, and '
" 'No,' replied the Democrat,
'wh?n a roan goes into a primary he
p'edge---1 is honor to abide the re-
Ovli
It- Thr-vo nre no ifs nnd and'
: ol honor.
A c
'dr vrp.m has alwavs con
tended the way the former looked at
the matter is the right and proper
way. Once you go into a primary
you pledge yourself to abide by its
rction. K there is a candidate be
fore the primary whom you would
not vote for if nominated, there i.
nothing to do but stay out of the
primary. It is sometimes said that
facts come out on a candidate after
the primary which make it impossi
ble to support him. But we believe
this is more an excuse than anything
else. In the campaign prior to a
ha; d-fouoht primary, it is strange
indeed if all the essential facts about
the lives and records cf the candi
dates do net come out. But grant
ing that previously unascertained
facts do come out after the primary
and before the election, there is this
thing to lie remembered: In the
election one in voting simpiy doe?
his part towards carrying out the
policy (for the time being) of his
party. He can very well, unless he
is an unusually contrary and captious
individual, overlook the records of
the candidates giving them the
benefit of every doubt and vote as
a means of giving his party eohesivc
ness and effectiveness rather than on
the individual merits of the candi
dates. It cannot be emphasized too
strongly that when one votes in a
primary, one is in honor bound to
support the nominees of the pri
mary. Greensboro Telegram.
Better Tsnsnt Bouses.
Now that crops are laid-by a good
thing to undertake is the building of
better tenant houses for next year.
We can never get or keep the best
class of farm labor in the South so
long as the tenant hordes are as sor
ry as they are now. Put a man in a
good house, and it wid work into his
mind somehow that he ought to do
work somewhat in keeping with the
quality of his house. And the man
who builds good tenant houses wid
not only be able to keep his more
industrious and enterprising tenants
but he will find little difficulty in
getting such tenants from other
communities. Raleigh (N. C.) Pro

JOHN MOTLEY THE NEW BOSS.
Morehead Namari ss State Cbairnian
of Republican Party.
Greensboro, N. C, Auer. 11. The
Republican Stat convention yester
day afterr - n named Congressman
John Motley Morehead as chairman
of the State executive committee by
unanimous acclaim, the other candi
dates, Hon. E. Carl Duncan, and
Major J. E. Alexander, having with
drawn from the contest after their
names had been placed before the
convention. It has a harmonious
ending of a contest which at one time
bore evidence of having in it the
germ of serious party disruption.
Mr. Morehead 'a speech of accept
ance breathed an intensely progres
sive and eminently fair spirit. The
keynote of his campaign has been
the abolition of the former referee
system under which the Republican
party has been operated with refer
ence to federal appointments, and
that idea was emphasized in his
speech of acceptance.
The convention also endorsed and
her-rtily commended the administra
tion of the retiring State chairman,
ex-Judge Spencer P. Adams, a ring
ing resolution of thanks for his faith
fulness and fairness and eminent ser
vices being unanimously adopted.
The convention was organized for
business by the election of Hon.
Thomas Settle, o! Asheville, as per
manent chairman. He received 737
votes to 378 for Hon. H. G. Ewart,
of Henderson county, and the elec
tion was made unanimous. T. J.
Harkins, of Asheville, was elected
permanent secretary.
The State ticket as nominated is

UnSucky R iys Ahead.
In a few years aeroplanes will b? as
common as automobiles are now,
and is obvious that the man on foot 1
will have little show. The auto
scorcher will be harmless individual,
as compared with the speed maniac
overhead. A man who will take to
aeroplaning must be naturally reck
less to begin with, and his reckless
ness will increase with each flight.
His boilers wiii bust, and his engines
will fly to peices, and there will be
showers of hardware, and pig iron
castings will hit the man on foot,
and knock him into the ground up
to his shoulder blades. Every time
he walks around the block a falling
monkey wrench or claw-hammer will
dot him on the head and make him
sick and weary.
Another prospective evil is the in
crease of insurance agents. There
will be aeroplane insurance, which
will enable you to provide for your
widow and children in case an avia
tor falls on you had squashes you. In
surance agents of various kinds are
so thick now that it is impossible to
avoid them, and anv scheme that
threatens to swell their ranks should
be denounced by press and pulpit.

Cancer in Australia.
The war against tuberculosis in
the United States has a counterpart
in the war against cancer in Aus
tralia, where of recent years the
ravages of this disease have been ex
tending in a manner for which there
is no accounting. At present the
average number of deaths from can
cer is 690 in 10,000 deaths from all
causes. This is threefold greater
than the proportion ten years ago.
At such a rate of increase the pros
pect for the future is alarming in
the extreme, and it follows that all
the resources of science are being
brought to bear to trace the source
of the plague and check its develop
ment. Cure is not thought of.
Cancer remains in the catagory of
incurable diseases, and there ap
pears to be little hope of the discov
ery of a remedy. Prevention, how
ever, is another matter. To this
end investigators are exerting them
selves with a certain degree of con
fi lence, the impression being strong
that if the origin of the disease can
be detected it will be possible to
provide safeguards and hinder what
threatens to develop into a veritable
epidemic. Some steps have been
taken toward conducting like re
searches in the United States. In
the light of Australia's experience,
prudence dictates the advisability of
pursuing these still iuruier.-r.ua- .

THE GAME SEA TROUT.
A Careless Cast in Pacific Tide Water
Causes a Surprise Party.
The sea trout of the Pacific coast
is the greatest member of the fan !!y
afloat, according to Richard L. I o-
cock in Recheation. He made the
discovery quite by accident when
fishing for brook trout at the mouth
of a short coast river draining a
large lake.
Getting tired of catching the
small fish, which seemed to be the
best that tha river offered, Mr. Po
cock decided to try his luck in th
nearby tide water at the river's
mouth and this is what heTsays of
his success:
"A parmacheene belle at point and
a march brown dropper were cast
all too carelessly on the water, and
in a moment I was having the sur
prise party of my life, and making
the acquaintance of a very different
kind of fish, the sea trout of the Pa
cific coast, the cousin of the Scots
man's sea trout, the white trout of
Old Erin's anglers and the sewin,
beloved of Taffy's heart.
"At the second cast, if memory
serves, two fish were hooked, and al!
the morning as the tide rose the
sport was fine, all the fish landed av
eraging about two pounds and rang
ing weight from one pound up to
four. I had made a discovery; sea
trout were there in plenty, and
would take a fly freely, and, having
taken it, would put up a fight of
which no fish need be ashamed and
which allowing weight for weight,
would put the lordy salmon to
sha me. ' ' Exchange.
Preaching Versus Editing.
Editing a newspaper in some re
spects is a good deal like preaching
the gospel truth must be presented
in the form of generalities or some
fellow will get hit and howl. Few
persons like truth, even in homeop
athic doses, if it hits them. But,
while preachers and editors are criti
cised for what they do say, no one
thinks of giving thorn credit for
what they do not say. Yet what
they keep to themselves constitutes
the major portion of what they know
about people.
Very many people harbor the be
lief that newspapers are eager to
publish derogatory things. It's a
mistake. There isn't a newspaper
that could not spring a sensation in
the community at any time by mere
ly telling what it knows. There is
not a newspaper that does not keep
under the lock of secrecy scores of
derogatory things which never meet
the public eye or reach the public
ear. Deciding what not to print is
the most troublesome part of news
paper work.
How many good stories are sup
pressed of innocent relatives and for
the public good nobody outside a
newspaper office has any idea of.
In some instances he who flies into
a passion because a newspaper prints
something about him which he con
siders uncomplimentary has every
reason to feel profoundly grateful to
the newspaper for publishing so little
of what it knows about him. And
ofttimes the loudest bluffer is the
most vulnerable to attack. A big
noise is often a device employed to
cover trepidation.
Newspapers put up with more
bluffing than any other agency would
endure. It is not because they lack
courage; it is because they7 are un
willing to use their power to destroy
or ruin unless the interest of so
ciety imperatively demand it.
It might be well for some peop'e
to reflect upon these truths and in
silent gratitude accept mild admoni
tion lest worse befall them. Con

YOU CAN SCRUB IT!
You can scrub the L. & M. Paint wherever it becomes soiled on the
inside of your residence, because it contains so much Linseed Oil that the
painted surface will bear constant scrubbing and stand the action of the
elements for years and years.
The L. & M. Paint never gets dingy, and frame houses painted with it
have not required repainting for 10 or 15 years, because the L. & M. Zinc
hardens the L. & M. White Lead and gives the paint extraordinary life.
Besides it onlv costs about $1.60 per gallon when ready-for-use.
