As expected Big William has bowed at the feet of the mighty Theodore. New York Republi \ cans are alarmed and want help. They gave the cold shoulder lo Roosevelt and now see the mistake. The premium list of the Fiftieth State Fair which will be held at Raleigh, October 17 22 has btA received. It is a handsome edition aud the list of premiums is a valua ble one Our farmers and their wive> should emer the cou est ' The victory ot the regular Demo cratic ticket iu the Halifax primary is gratifying and was expected. The campaign was a very bitter oue, but uow the smoke has cleared away and the party will stand to gether at the polls in November. R. A. P. Cooley is evidently fond of defeat. Failing to get the nom ination for Solicitor, he is now de claring his candidacy against Con gressman Pou. "What fyols these .mortals be." "Pledge Your Candidate to the Torrens System." says The Pro gressive F'armer. That paper was the first in the to advocate the Torrens Svstem of registering land titles. The Farmers' Unions v- /« of both Carohuas have advocated the system. When one takes notes of the many land suits 111 which ofteu the real owner of the land loses out, then the advantages of the system are more clearly seen. Under it the State would guarantee the title aud the deed would be safer than a bond, for "Nature, having made hud far more iudes tructible than governments, would better guarantee the safety of the deed." The whiskey men had a great many things to sav about Wilming ton before prohibition went into effect. They declared that the taxes would be "awful." A re cord of taxes for years shows that the rate tfow ($i 30) is lower than for thirty-two years previous. The rate in the county is .three cents higher but this is for school im provement for more children are attending school since prohibition has prevailed. The police blotter shows that the last year and a half with open saloons there were 2,921 arrests made. The first year atid a halt of prohibition were 1,820, a difference of 1,101. Comment is unnecessary—the ex planation should come from the whiskey men. We publish on-the first page of this issue a strong article ou the legalized primary taken froui the News and Observer of receut date. We have urged from time to time the need in our county of something save the open convention. The ill ■effects o? Jthese open gatherings of voters have been seen by the think- ( ing men of the county for years. Now is the time to stand together and urge our representative in the next Legislature to wprk for the passage of a bill, making the pri mary a law of the State. In the counties which have already adopt ed the primary, the situation is far more satisfactory and pleasant than the open convention such as Mar- tin has had and will be burdened with" again. We cannot under stand why our people are so slow to adopt the best thing in the man agement of political affairs. Can it be that any man is standing in the way of the adoption of better things for the people. Thousands of North Carolinians have migrated to alj parts of t e country. This State has played a great part in the winning of the west and in the developmedt of all sections. North Carolina virility, pluck and ability have proven nota hie factors in many other States. People from the Old North Slate have set their mark eveiy where but have never lost their ♦•l e for their mother State, North Carolina Complete arrangements have be-n made for a great "Home-Comiig Jubilee and Reunion" for all p r sous horn in North Carolina; this to be held at Raleigh during the fiftieth S'.ate Fair, October 17-22 Mayor J. S. Wynne is chairm .11 and Fred A. Olds secretary off th-j committee which has this matter 111 charge and they desire to obtaiu the names and addresses, as far a possible, of any people from tl ii c immunity who now reside in other States, in order that iuvitations may be sent them. Farmers State Convention The farmers of North Carolina will meet at the A. & M. College August 29th. The rooms at tUe college buildings are free but tho-e desiring to stop the e must cairy towels, pillows and a light blanket. Meils to be furnished at twenty five cents each. Delegates calling fjr tickets on the "certificate" pi 11 can secure reduced return fare. The programme for this conven tion is a very interesting one and great benefit may be #ad by these attending. Every feature of tht farm life will be discussed by men trained in the work. The farme s of this meeting A Costly Painting "My! but these art works do run into money," remarked a pas senger. "When I was in Chicago I saw a little painting, about, a foot square, that was held at five hundred dollars. If I had a mil lion of money you'd never catch uie paying five hundred dollars for a paiutiug like that." "That's the way you talk," spoke up a bashful traveller, "but I'll guaran tee that you have paid four times as much money for a painting not as tenth part as big." "What, me." "Yes, you. ~> "What kiud of a painting." "The one at the end of your nose." Some men are sadly remembered by what they have failed to do. judgment is a most vital wrong; to continue to judge wrongly after the right is known, destovs character. Mrs. Gabble (to her new washer woman )—My husband has descend ed from one of the finest houses in the land. Mrs. Mulchy—An'phwat is he, a hod carrier?— Boston Transcript. -Boy—Another oxtail, please. |Butcher — Did your mother like last one she had? |Poy—Yes; and she says she this one off t}ie same ox, pfeasj!—Week I^nd.
