How he does sing since he enjoyed the fes tivities at Wrightsvllle Beach: "Down by the rippling water's brink, so restful and so free, we launch the ships of fancy on a sil ver-singing sea; but the dream is rudely-broken, 'tis a mill pond filled with logs; we're a ked to set our voice atune wit'a the music of the fro?s!" ? ? ? Iloke Smith, who \\a< defeated two years aio ty Joe Brown for the gov ernorship of Georgia, has announced that he wiil be a candidate again for the Democratic nomination. When Hoke Smith was Governor of Georgia he removed Joe Brown from the chairmanship of Railroad Commission. This made Brown and his friends mad and they in turn turned Hoke out of the Governor's office. Xow Hoke wants to try it again, Just to be vindicated. ? ? * This is a wonderful age and un heard of things are occurring daily. Before we are through gasping over the wonder of some startling event we are staggered by what a few^ months previous seemed well-nigh impossible. Last Friday a great dally published this paragraph: "Count Zeppelin inaugurated the first airship passenger service yester-1 day with his new craft, the Deutsch lanil, whi h few from Friedrichshavn' to Dusseld >rf, a distance of 300 miles1 In nine hours. Twenty passengers were carried. The average speed was forty miles an hour and the best' speed for a single hour was forty-' three and a half miles." I 1 EMEPEROR WILLIAM AND THE BIBLE. The spiilt of the age can be In terpreted in no be'ter way than by. the world's attitude toward the Bi ble. The last generation, not to say the last decade, has witnessed a won derful change in this direction. Fit'-j teen years ago very few of the great daily newspapers paid any attention, scarcely to great re'igious gatherings But now it is different. When a great meeting of any religious body | is held the daily newspapers vie withj each other as to which shall givej the best report. This is well. It j means much for our civilization and^ is a striking criterion that the world is growing better despite the vapor ings and wailings of the pessimist. The attitude of public men toward j the Eible is no less marked than that of the secular press. The ruler of all the great nations of the world, with only a few exceptions are Cfiris tians. One of the greatest rulers oJ the word to-day, and one who will ^ leave a lasting impress on the| pages of history is Emperor William i of Germany. Hear what this great and busy Christian ruler has to say about the Bible, the greatest of all books: "I find the most beautiful thoughts expressed in it. I cannot understand how it is that so many persons pay! *o litle attention to Holy Scriptures | Can any one read the Gospels and other parts of the Bible without fel ing convinced that they contain sim ple truth, we'.l authenticated and es tablished on unquestionable facts? Whenever i have come to any de cision, I ask myself what the Bible would teach me to do in that particu-J lar case. The Bible is to me the fountain from which I draw light and' strength in the hours of sorrow and( depression. I seek consolation in the; Bible, and 1 am convinced that many, who have neglectcd religion will re gain definite belief and will feel the need of communion with the Almighty if they study it. Periods of danger ous doubt have always produced In their wake periods of enthusiastic re ligious feeling. I cannot understand bow life can be lived without real communion with the Almighty. We all must go through Gethsemane. There are hours and hours in which our pride is humiliated. It is difficult for us to be meek, for each one of us , desires to be his own master."

Of the agencies that tend to the upbuilding of the State, none can be of greater Influence, or be more pow erful than the editor* and the teach ers. These profes- Ions are second to none in importance. Along this line we are p'eased to quote the following from the Louisville Courier Journal of recent date: "The editor and his paper are Im portant factors for popular education second In in'luence, perhaps, only to the teat her and his school. The teach er edu ates and develops the juvenile mind. The editor does not stop at that, for he is constantly educating persons of al a;es and conditions. The progress of the two professions in power for good Is of vital concern to the world in general. That both are on rising ground in Kentucky should be a cause of gratulation to all who love tie Stale and feel an abiding interest in its Institutions. "The convictions of editors and tea "hers are produ-.-tive of much good. The opportunities they afford for the interchange of ideas and for the discussion of topics of common inter est to the members of the associa tions tend large'y to the upbuilding of the press and the schools; to in creasing the capabilities of editors and teachers and to advancement all I atom tin 11b*." p | Hon. Edward W. Pou. I In a little while the nominating con ventions will be held. The primaries have been called and the time fixed for holding some of the conventions, j We have seen no formal announce-' ment of the candidacy of the Hon. Ed-] ward \V. Pou to succeed himself in Congress, either from himself or any of his friends. We take it, however,' that he is wil'ing to continue to serve| the people if they wish him to do so? and we believe they do. Vance county will prtesent no can-' didate of its own at this time and the Gold Leaf gives its support to Mr. Pou, as it has done with increas-j ing pride at each recurring nomina tion since he has been in Congress. Many and sufficient have been the reasons for retaining Mr. Pou's ser vices in Congress heretofore. To our, mind there are multiplied and strong er ones now. Indications are that this is going to be a Democratic year, And with a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives Mr. Pou's position on the Ways and Means Committee would be next to the chairman. If our memory serves us right it has teen many years since North Carolina had a member of this com-' mittee. In fact the only members we have had since the civil war were Hon. F. M. Robbins (1878) and Mr. Pou. If the Democrats should carry the next House, Mr. Clark will he speaker and Mr. Underwood will he chairman, "the gentleman from (the Metropoli tan district of) North Carolina" thus taking the second place, next to the chairman, on this important commit tee, a distinction of which the, people n6t only of the Fourth District but of the entire State would have cause to he proud. If by any chance Mr. Underwood should drop out or be transferred Mr. Potl would be entit led to the chairmanship. Under these circumstances and for reasons which readily suggest them-, selves to the intelligent reader, chief j among which is the good record he has made in Congress, we think it would be in the exercise of wisdom, justice and good policy to nominate Mr. Pou as his own successor, and the Gold Leaf hereby presents his name?unauthorized, it is true, butj agreeable to him, we believe?as its ' candidate.?Henderson Gold Leaf. i Of Course Not. 1 "By the way, Elder Browne, why Is it that you always address your con gregations as 'brethren,' and never mention the women in your ser- 1 mons?"

"How do iftbbage worms originate, and is there any remedy for them? Some say It is safe to sprink'e with Pa is green after the heads have formed. Would there be any danger from the poison getting into the cab bage! ' Every ytar cabbage worms cause an immense amount of damage. From April till October and from morning till night wherever there is a cabbage field the chances are that little white butterflies wi'l be hovering around. On late cabbage during August the air is often fairly cloudy with them. All the while these little white but terflies are .'aylng their eggs to the cabbage leaves. fn four to < i;,ht days these iggs hatch into velvety worms, which are cabbage green iu color. Thes" worms (larvae) have a terrific appetite and grow with great rapillty, r fhing lull size in u cou ple of weeks. During th<iir period of growth the worms eat holes in the leaves and leave dirty yellow piles of excreta scattered over the heads. The cabbage worm is a damaging and nasty creature, the foe of both the market gardener and the housewife. After the worm has become full grown it goes into the chrysalis state for a week or two and then comes out a full-grown lutteri'ly ready to lay more eggs to hatch into more worms to damage more cabbage heads. The best spray for cabbage worms is Paris green. Mix one pound of Paris green with 150 gallons of wa ter and spray every cabbage plant. Any cabbage worm that oats a bit of cabbage leaf which has some Pari* green on it, dies. Paris green is very poisonous to man, but the way it is used on cabbage is not at all danger ous. As Smith, entomologist of the New Jersey Experiment Station, says, "the amount used to a single cab bage plant is so minute that in order to poison a man it would be necessar: for him to eat a dozen heads, outer leaves and all, and if death then re sulted, I would be inclined to attri bute it rather to the cabbage itself than to the Paris green." Cabbage heads from the inside, that is, the leaves which are outer leaves to start with remain outer leaves. It is easy to see that it is impossib'e for much Paris green to get into thtj head. ^ In a New Jersey experiment a hea vy application of Paris green was made on a cabbage head a week be fore picking. The outer brok en leaves which are ordinarily taken off by the housewife were then re moved and the head chemically ana lyzed. It was found that there was not a trace of arsenic. We are quite sure that if Paris green were sprayed at the rate of one pound to 150 gallons up to with in three week3 of picking, there would be no danger whatever. Yet for fear that someone v;;U blunder in applying the Paris green, we would advise the use of pyrethrum, one half ounce to the gallon of water, or of kerosine emulsion after the heads have half-formed. There is no need of suffering from the destructive, dirty litt'e cabbage worms this season. Start in spray ing early with Paris green, and then a ter the hf-ads have half-formed use pyrethrum or kerosine emulsion.? Wallace's Farmer.

The North Carolina Democracy Is peculiarly fortunate In the character and equipment of the two men who a?pire to the nomination for asso-: ciate Justice of the Supreme Court. J The most bitter partlsian can say I nothing against the fitness of either Associate Justice James S. Manning or Superior Court Judge Wil lam R.1 Allen. Roth are learned In the law J and of Judicial temperament, and botlr are patriotic North Carolinians and good Democrats. Rut?the Demo cracy must make the choice. Without disparaging in the slight est degree the ability of Judge Al-I len, it is our firm conviction, form ed after mature deliberation, that it is the duty of the party to name Judge Manning for the position he lias filled so acceptably as the suec hs-( or of Judge Connor Uy grace of the, appointment of Governor Kltchin. He has shown by his decisions and his couduct on the bench generally that he is a true Judge and an honor to the people he serves. He gave up a law practice paying several times the salary of a Supreme Court Judge to accept the appointment; and If ho i thought of the matter at all, he nat urally had a right to feel that, if ho showed himself a Just and able Judge, his party would not so far depart from Democratic principles as to fail, ro give him the endorsement of a nomination. True, it may be said that he had no stronger claim on the party than many other good men, but doesn't the party owe something to itself in a matter of this sort? i Then again. Judge Manning is a citizen of the Fifth Congressional dis trict and has borne well his part in many fierce political struggles In which a majority of the Democratic readers of The Patriot have engaged, i He was good enough to be named I for a place on the Superior court] bench in the liark days of fusion, and if the Democrats were willing for i him to offer himself as a sacrifice on ! the altar of the party then, we should be good enough now to vote for him for a position in which he has shown ! his capacity to a marked degree.?
