Two of the most progressne cuu.i

and Mecklenburg.
Each of these counties has the dis
Unction ol having as its metropolis
one of the two largest cities in
North Carolina. For many years
Wilmington was North Carolina's
largest town but today Charlotte
is conceded that honor.
Both Wilmington and Charlotte
have a public library.

'What lie was saying was not quite

buppose that the parade should
fce set at an hour when the stores
are still open.
The Advance wants to gee the
Good Will Day program go through
without a hitch or a jar and with
out an confusion.
It Is in this spirit that we offer
the foregoing suggestion,
printers' ink. It is conceivable that
a student with weeks of p.ffni't
group expenditures, reduce them to
classified accounts ntid really know
something definite about county fl.
nances; but in many or more in
stances it would be a hard task for
an expertnccountant.
'Usually no exhibit of' receipts is
shown; no exhibit of bond indebted
ness, or county aBscts, or unpaid,
outstandng, current accounts. How
the county really etanda at the end
of the year, nobody can tell from
MERELY OPPOSITION)
"The Republican party," says the
current iasue of The World's Work,'
has taken on nearly all the attri
butes of an habitual opposition. It
does not stand for anything in par
ticular except a return to office."
The editorial from which this quo
tation is taken was wrtten before
the Republican Convention, the ac
tion of which body? in nominating
Justice Hughes, whose attitude to
the vital questions and issues of the
time were unknown, veril?rr, corro
borates and justifies the judgment
handed down in the' editorial in
every partcular.
Since his nomination the ex Su
preme Court Justice has given the
country but one utterance, which Is
hardly more militant than many a
speech of the man now at the helm
of the ship of state.
The Republican party's platform
strikes an even less aggressive note.
The Advance can not believe that a
party without a platform and with
out a candidate who has done any
thing to make his name a household
word among the masses of the Amer
lean people can defeat Woodrow
Wilson.
In this immediate section the Re
publican party has no other plat
fqrm than that a Republican victory
will bring back prosperity. Aud proa
perlty seems to be coming this way
all the time as it is. ",.
The Advance agrees with the flem
ocratlc leaders who think ' that it
will be easy to win with Wilson this
year. Many Progressives will flock
to the Democratic standard by Nov
ember if we are able to read at all
the .signs of the times.
Oood Will Pay will not only put
Elizabeth City on the map but it
w-ill put the old town on the moving
picture screen as well. And plenty of
folks will go to see the pictures who
don't spend much time looking at
maps.
