In Illinois, where It wag dec!ared that the Labor Vote would ra'ly" to th0 eight-hour law, the Republican machine was work ing witn oiled precision. New Eng land and Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey failed him, But Oom pers, "having failed in his effort to "deliver" the Labor Vote, the farm ing vote gathered itself together in an informal coneentation of ' senti ment, and deMvercd itself. If ndminifltritions took tho color Of the forces .responsible for them, four years more of Wilson would bo devoted to agriculture. It will have been the farmers hand that plough ed the furrow of this election. It was in the corn-fields of Kansas, the plains of Minnesota fecund of wheat, thrt the die was cast. It were pomewhnt futi!e at this time to search out elusive- motives, but the significant fact remains that the emphasis has been taken from Industrial and commercial interests by the action of men who till the oil. . "H" very In the government nt Washington for the next four years, the South bids fair to be again 'in the saddle', but the Far West will have its seat on horse-back. There has been a eplendid demonstration of the pow er of the thinly populated and poor er states in the assertion of their right to disagree with those older and richer, and more densely pack ed. It is a cise of 'back to the soil" with a literalness surprising most of a'l to the politicians who talk it most.

Right direct from that coi.n'y to the Elizibeth City Milling Company doek3 arrived Sat urday three thousands pounds of a;: good grade cotton as has been rais ed in this section of the state thi year. The cotton came from East 'Lake, and Messrs. Sawyer and 'Creef who brought it say there la t lot more to come pretty soon. It is goo,( that this is so. This incident may be taken as indicative of the Intelligence and foresight of the people of tho county. Is is a fact that Rare county has a soil that Is unsurpassed for pro ductivity along almost any line. There are hundreds of acres of wast ing lands there now that could be developed by drainage and cultiva tion Into productive and profitable farm?. Tor trucking even the rich soil of Currituck cannot rival that in parts of Dare. In a small way there has always been some truck ing done' there,' hut '"the 'people are now realizing that it can be made a ousinets rather than a pastime; and it is good for Dar0 that her peo pie are waking up to this fact and getting, busy. Of course the principal industry for the county ns a whole will al ways be fbhing, for the county lies in that section where the most mar ketable fish are to he caught. The industryoshould be conserved and j developed. But the sooner a large proprtion of her poople get busy to j develop the farm, the sooner will j Dare become a county of prosperity and progress. lie. . .V.
