The spirit of revolt old rye.
Pity 'tis that Mr. Taft is not "broad
minded as well as broad-bodied.
We believe in raisin bread bu not
in rais-in' the price of bread. y
How long will Uncle Sam permit
him to be Jay Bull?
"Hughes About to Lose His Voice.'
Yet not all he is about to lose.
"French Penetrated the Cemetery.
To the looker-on the entire war field
is a cemetery.
It's true that Wall Street is a bet
tor on Hughes, but Wall Street never
yet made a better country.
The way prices are soaring the
public will have to unlimber a battery
of aerial guns to bring 'em down.
Senator Martine appears to have
won, but Senator Martini appears to
be losing- ground daily.
John Skelton Williams says the
American dollar should have a soul.
In other words, "have a heart."
The- United States at least seems
to have smoked out Great Britain on
the cigar tobacco proposition.
A scientist is of the opinion that
if people would talk less they would
be ' healthier. Bad year to bope for
success with auch doctrine.
It doesn't appear to be Mr. Hughes'
voice that has gone back on him as
much as his vaunted dignity and
common sense.
Frank Hitchcock is back from the
West with news that Hughes'
speeches had . weight, but wisely re
frains from explaining who for.
Two things are essential for a man
considering matrimony. First, know
ing where he is going to get some
thing to cook and; second, getting s.
wife who can cook.
The Hon. Bill Flynn was on deck
to greet Hughes yesterday, but the
Hon. Bill- some time ago plainly
showed that he doesn't care who he
associates with.
An accident on the subway is
blamed on a-motorman who was eat
ing pie. Yet not without precedent.
Many governmental accidents - have
taken place while' those at the lev.er
were after pie.
A New Jersey couple eloped.
- jumped into an automobile and sped
' away from irate parents. . How times
do change. In the old days it1 was
the buckboard, made famous in story
:- and picture.
British seizure of talse teeth con
signed to the enemy countries looks
like a fell blow at the old maids. It
is bad enough for their chance to
grow less with cutting down of the
male population without depriving
them of other things.
Will Editor Myrover, of the Fay
etteville Observer, kindljf explain if
tthereis anything significant in the
announcement that the capital of the
Upper Cape- Fear is to erect a theatre
and a hospital? Is the latter for the
' actors when they incur the wrath of
a Fayettevllle audience?
Colorado "is going Democratic and
the. betting odds are 10 to 6 on Wil
son, according to a man writing
from Denver. But to cap the climax
he declares that it is his belief that

the South for Wilson. that is

PAC KIN avHOU se 'a NECESSIT-Y
We should be . tempted j to envy
South Carojna, soon to ""bewinef; pos
sessed of two .'packing .houses, were
it not for the fact 1 that Wilmington
and vicinity will also have such an
institution. We do envy the rapidity
with which our Palmetto brethren
have worked in this matter arid Welf
promptness in ... grasping the import
ance of the project and their readi
ness to support it. f ; ;
The Columbia State thinks : that
establishment of the twQ packing
houses, which the people of South
Carolina have decided on, will ehcour
age the raising of live stock. It depre
cates that hog raising in that' State
has fallen off. So has the number of
cows, itsays. Away back in 1860 the
number of cows in South Carolina"
was - 778,000, as compared with 421,
000 at present, The State finds.
These are things that are enough
to cause worriment, in view of the
increased cost of living, and what .ap
plies to South Carorma applies,
though the proportions may be differ
ent, to other South States. There is
nnt ennnsrh rn.iainer nf liv stnnlr and.
. . . .
too much buying by Southern farmers
a xv.. , . . i. v.
of things that they should be raising
, .
and Sellmg. v
"In other words," says The State,
commenting upon the condition in its
commonwealth, "the people of South
Carolina long ago ceased to produce
their own meats and for a part : of
their supplies have depended "upon im"
portation."
This is so as to North Carolina, tfo,
which is bound to add to the high
cost cost of living.
Continuing, The State well says,
sounding a warning to the farmers:
"The time has come when neces
sity will compel them to return to
the old way. The boll weevil will
cross into the State within the next
two or three years, and while consid
erable preparation for combating it
nas been made, it will, or course,
cause considerable upsetting of agri
cultural methods. A great deal .of
readjustment will be unavoidable and
to reduce hardship to a minimum, the
people must be ready to produce
other profitable crops than cottonnas
sidelines.
The most hopeful of aids to farm-j
ers of South Carolina lately under-!
taken are the packing houses to be
erected before next June In Orange
burg and Greenville. In connection
with these railroad rates have been
secured which will ' enable farmers
living anywhere within the borders
of the State to ship hogs and cattle
to either point, whether in whole or
part carload lots and sell them at a
profit.
"If every 'farmer in South Caro
lina would raise even one or two hogs
or a steer for shipment to one or
these packing houses next fall, the
danger of disaster to the agricultu
ral industry, either from a , slump in
the price of cotton or from the boll
weevil, would be eliminated.
"That these two paeking houses
will succeed, there t no reason to
doubt. They will have the constant
advice of experts from the Federal
agricultural department, and it is be-
ieved that every precaution against
mistakes in construction, and oper
ation has been taken. Plenty of live j
stock to give them profitable seasons
is already insured. They will have a
capacity, however, to handle a much;
arger output than farmers of the
Stateare now producing. Our object
now is to emphasize that the packing
houses offer new and handsome op-1
portunities to farmers to make ad
ditional, profits next year and to urge
the farmers not to neglect them."
THE NOMINATING OF MARTINE.
.Senator Martine, of New Jersey,
has been renominated by the Demo
crats. Therefrom emerges much
speculation. Does the nomination
mean that Wilson is weaker in New j
Jersey, wherein men who voted for j
Martine will bolt the presidential tick j
et, or does it mean that they would
present a paradox by voting for Mar
tine and Hughes? Or has it any; bear
ing i nthis respect at all?
These questions are natural; due to
the fact that it was known that Attorney-General
Wescott, Martine's
opponent in the New. Jersey primary,
was favored by Wilson, and he had
declared for the Wilson policies. Sen
ator Martine had opposed the Presi
dent's International policies and was
advocated by the German-Americans
of New Jersey. While undoubtedly
a great many other things were fac
tors in the race and the man in office
generally has a better understanding
of the situation and more influence,
this question was at the front and
made itself felt.
But will fthose who voted for Mar
tine vote against Wilson in Novem
ber? If they 'o they will present the
paradox of attempting to elect a
Democratic Senate to. work with a Re-f
publican President. Or did they
merely vote fori Martine to visit .ven
geance upon Wilson-and will they bolt
the , Ucket? iQt , will they vote the

Six years ago Columbia, tiring of
the . old , unwieldy, discordant and
multi-headed aldermanic rorm, -deefd-ed
at the polls to changeto the com
mission form, such decision , being
made by a vote of 1,310 to 68. It as
provided -that after a , six-year trial
the ..people should again pass on. the
gutloio , that it might- be. ascer
tained whether or not the people real
ly desired it, after investigation. Tpat

and the commission form saved much

it seems to us.
The election was held Tuesday

present form. The majority was in-j the State Board of Health today, ai

and slick politicians have lost
much of their grip, because they arc
never in favor ; of the commission
form' of government .
ISN'T IT WORTH CONSIDERING?
Canada is again calling for more re
cruits, to be sent to the front. No
doubt Canadians will answer the call
with their usual ardor and patriot
ism. But the very fact that the call
has been' issued, that more of the
flower of Canada must go across the
water ' to fill graves, should be a re-
minder to the peoole of the United
states of how fortunate this country
has been and what a sDiendid thins
It was to have a man at the head who
preserved his equilibrium. The man
hood of America would ,have rallied
as quickly and with as great gusto
as th men of any other country, but
is it not a happy thought that the
occasion did not arise for it? Does
not some credit for preventing this
sacrifice belong to the gentleman now
the President of the United States?
That is a great thought for the fath
ers of , the' country, and a great pne
for the 'womanhood. For the' latter
mothers, wives and sisters it is
much greater than whether woman
suffrage should come by Federal
enactment or by State legislation.

work of Premier William Hughes,
who is one or the mtst ardent advo

EPIDEMIC OF FAIRS.
Many . Requests from Many. Quarters
for Health' Exhibits at Fairs.
"North Carolina will hold more
county and community fairs this fall
than ever before,'" said ah official of
coming jn at tne rate qi auuui uue a.
day. Most of them . are reported
through their secretary or some offi
cial who has made application for a
health exhibit or something on this
line.
Two years ago the board made
only one health exhibit that at the
State Fair. Last year there was quite
a demand for similar exhibits and a
traveling exhibit was sent around. to
seven county fairs. This year the
bqad decided to enlarge, and offered
a free motion picture health enter-1
tainment' in a black' tent to a number j
of fairs and a health exhibit to j
others. The demand has become, so I
great that two health exhibits have
already been placed in the" field and
today the board announced that for
the balance of the season it would en
deavor to' prOviue some exhibit mate

will play a large part in the final de
cision on the bill. . Three women who
have given,. their sons and husbands
