CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
By A. W. MACY.
THE KNOW NOTHING
PARTY.
The American, or Know
Nothing party, was organized
In 1852 or 1853. It took Its
name from the fact that its
members, when questioned,
would always answer, "I know
nothing at all about it." It was
in fact a great secret organiza
tion, with "lodges," grips, signs,
passwords, etc. Its chief aim
was to exclude foreigners from
participation in governmental
affairs in this country. In 1856
it nominated Millard Fillmore
for the presidency, but he re
ceived only eight electoral votes.
The membership of the party
was well distributed over the
country, north as well as south.
For a considerable time It grew
steadily, and apparently bid
fair to become one of ttie great
political parties. As the slavery
question became more and
more prominent, however, be
coming a political factor In
spite of all efforts to prevent it,
the Know Nothing party split
on It, and we/it to pieces. Mos)
of the northern member# prob
ably joined the Whigs, and
eventually became Republicans.
(Copyright, mi, by Jowcph D. Bowie*.)
If the Tuft republicans are really
under the impression l that the Pres
ident will have no opposition for
a re-nomtnariu. they are laboring
under fi hallucination.
We congratulate Kinston in win
ning the school for the feeble
minded over nil competitors. The
town made a fine offer which Was
accepted, and no doubt thedicision
was a fortunate one. Kinston has
plenty of aitesian water, good
health the, site offered
is a splendid one. Our nearby
neighbor, Washingtoji. nude a
most excellent offer but failed to
secure it. T v he school will be ot
untold benefit anil the Sta'e was
wise in arranging fo: one.
A $25,000,000 lueid trust which
will operate, to start with in 21
large cities, has been formed in
New York under the name of the
General Baking Company. The
alleged object of the new octopus
is to "educate the public to a high
er standard of quality iu bread."
Inquiry at the office of Attorney
General Witkersham elicited the
information that absolutely uothing
was known there of the tormation
o ( "any bread trust." The reply
was not unusal, as the Attorney
General's office is generally the
last place iu Washington to go to
for information which might be
construed to admit the existence
£>t auy trust.
Progressive republicans were con
spicuous at the President's recenl
wedding anniversary celebration by
their absence. liven Roosevelt
the man who made Taft president
was missing. The explanation is
this: The progressives did not 0
course intend any slight to th
Psesident. but actually feared tha
if they attended the celebration thi
White House press bureau woul
send out stories to the effect tha
they favored Taft for re-nomina
tion and re-election. If a republi
can approaches within shoutin;
distance of the executive mausio
these days, Mr. Taft'e secretar
feeds the Associated Press with th
"news" said Republican is stron
for-the re-nomination of the Presi
. dent. As the genuine progressives
are opposed to Taft's re nomina
tion, they are not disposed to takfr
any chances of being misrepre
" sented.

- The Last Remnant
The last Legislature did ro better
work than that of the abolishment
of neer beer saloons. When whis

substitute—the little serpaut trail

Perhaps, many of the-e places weie
kept withip the law, and yet the
drinks offered in them produced an !
effect promoting no good to the iu

the business was found. The peo- j

point of health, of vigorous tnan-1
hood, neer beer was injutiou--. if j
there had been 110 other reason for |
removal.
There will not be so many re
grets at the passing of the neer;
beer saloons—wi:h only a certain j
class have they been popular A"
proper regard for the prohibition
law will become m re and more
marked, jf every law which was
broken found uo tavor in the-heans

laws would soon be obsolete. Mar.

1 The local editor of the Durham
»• Sun was attacked by a mau whose
a duplicity was exposed in the col
f> tirans of that paper. Judge R. M.
t Sykes. City Recorder, who after
s hearing all the evidence, uttered
sound words as follows;
"The case now before the court
|j is one of such general interest not
1 only to our community but to
ii entire country, that I desire to ex
e press my views with regard to it.
e "The liberty of the press, next
s to our political and religious liberty,
. is perhaps the most cherished tradi
» tion of the American people. To
y it we owe most of the reforms that
e have taken place in our political
U and civic life; and the great fight
t1 now waging all over the country
v between the forces of good agaiust
y the powers of greed is made possi
e ble and victorious largely by the
o poWer of the press in educating and
e enlightening and, in many instances
e leading the public mind. Without
the liberty of the press the whole
some results of the conflicts of onr
1- forefathers would be a nullity, and
it we might eatily become a laud of
y serfs rather than the great free and
t. independent nation that we are.
t, Any man, therefore, who would
is intimidate the press or curthil its
)f power in auy proper directions, is
te at least an undesireable citizen,
it "On the other hand, somepoeple
le misconstrue the word 'liberty', and
Id seem to think that it implies a
at 'license' to use these powers in an
a- arbitrary and oppessive manner,
li- While the uewspaper must be given
lg considerable laxity in the line of its
jn duties, yet there ate limits to which
ry even a newspaper cannot go wi4h
be out being held to answer for its
ag misdeeds. A newspaper man who
f J*:Z J. " ' fit/
j will use his columns to vent his
, private spleen against an individual,
or who for selfish or other motives
j will unnecessarily persecute/ or
! hound down a citizen, isascowatd
ly as the public official who simply
because be is clothed with' power
will oppress the defenseless or who i
stultifies himself and his position ,
by using it to punish bis enemies, i
! Sometimes newspapers do overstep i
these bounds, but the law has pro- !
vided a peacable means of redress !
I for any citizen who feels himself
aggrieved. He can. by our statute,
demand a public retraction of the
offensive statement, and if this
is not forthcoming the courts are
opt-n f r a s-uit for damages* By
usinn this method the offended
party does not himself become a
law-breaker; but in the present case
the defendant has felt that the
newspaper article in question was
iOf such gravity that it called for
personal chastisement, but this!
j court is not called upon to pass on
1 the merits of this phase of the con
troversy. By the timely and for
tunate intervention of friends, no
actual battel y was made* and no'

Agriculture in 1910
:—_
Agricultural eduation has scored
! dunug the veae its largest and most
significant success in the history of
this nation. Many of the forces
and factors created years ago and
woven into the fine spun fabric of
jour educational system funished
convincing proof of their individual
and collective value. Object lev
sons with bludgeon appeals to all ,
classes of farmers have been effec
tive in innumerable communities.
Education has heightened and re
fined the appreciation of the soil as
the source of food and as a needed
background in the character of men.
Old regions, worn and neglected,
have taken on brighter hues in the
light of an expanding agricultural
science, and new sections, over
advertised and misrepresented, have
lost much of their artificial magne
tism. Relative values have been
more or less balanced by exercises
common sense and the spread of
experience. Farmers have dis "
covered with the aid of enlarg
ed and sharpened knowledge new
virtue in old possessions. A ten
dency toward intensive methods
has been promoted by agricultural
colleges and experiment stations.
Press, pulpit and pamphlet have
j stormed the doOrs of uuenH£bten
., mem aud superstition. Experienc
ed farmers with fixed notions have
been mojved, and young men from
. the colleges have returned to the
I land with exalted ideals and high
j 1 resolves. In a few words, the
| Americanflagricultural world has
been fundamentally improved dur-
I ing this rewardful year.—Breeder's
