FRIDAY, Mch. 7 th, 1913 to the New President. We may all of us be of differ fnt opinions as to the policies that "are best for the' ''progress of the country. ' There are Itepuh licans, Progressives and Demo crats and it takes all of these to tivilrn a triWt country. We do not "believe in supinely .lying down and accepting what an .au tocrat says for us to do. So there arfl creat contests to see who :will have their policies carried out and the battle fought and' the voters line up to see who is the strongest and after the battlo we all settle down again to work for mi noun try - arid ' therefore for ourselves. Ia the great battle of votes in November the plurality gave to Woodrow Wilson and the Demo cratic party the duty of carrying on the government for the next four years. And on lat Tues Hair Wood row Wilson took his place as President of these Uni ted States. : Every one should -lay aside the animosity and the heat of battle and should give to the President the resneetand the honor that are his due as President of the on-Mtest country on the face of the earth. It is no easy matter to ocoudv the position to which he has been elected. He is en fronted with grave questions and he will need a' level head and some mind. These he has. Hut also he will need the support of every one. We, may differ from him about some things but he will work for the progress of the whole country, and as citizens of this country we should uphold him. Men will" censure and many things will ' be said that will sting but we should remember that he is one ;man, ' with Ihuh unon the helm chosen by the voters to guide .the ship of stale and as loyal citizens wc must holp. There were no ;moj-e loyal soldiers when McKinley faced war with Spain than the men of the opposite party. Many a De mocrat has helped a Republican President and now Republicans and progressives should forget partisan politics and help run the ship and follow the captain in his work. ' The News-Record is but one of thousands of its kind a low weak voice but we would join with all the others in ac claiming the President. May his administration be a glorious one, full of great things dgne and accomplished and may the good work begun by him in New Jersey find still greater fruition in national affairs. We see the first democratic President since Cleveland. When lie has finished his term of ser vice be it only four or if it should be extended to eight, may lie hav done for the country what the former democratic president (iiuanu. may ins name oe as honored as was Clevelands. We are proud of the man and v.e are sure we will bes proud of the president. May his way be lightened and made bright; by the aid, of nil citizens. , , poir.uii -fpoqf.ia.5f 'e-iois fln.rfl v'ojnrfjj V IVMdiJJ, uop:u -r : a rt x ,A onu-,, K.iAivnn aXit i tlOIHMHH ISOt) SltJ iilllAlJJ SI ' S.

(Contrrbutcd) :' The most thrilling and tragic trial that the State of North Carolina has ever experienced is now being tried at - Madison county court house in the case agaiust' Mrs. Maude Hamlin, who is accused of" poisoning her husband, John Hamlin, it taken the afternoon in selecting a jury. When the Solicitor, Robert U, Reynolds, read the charge to t'ue jury he asked the defendant to stand up, she showed no sign of nervousness whatever. The defendant appears to be a Jady of good intelligence and a bru notte of a beautiful type, she is 22 vears of acre and weighs 9S pounds, she was neatly attired in deep mourning and carried in her arms a. lovely baby, boy whom God sent ,to her behind the bars of Madison County jail. Mrs M. Knight of Ashevile t h e defendants god mother, brought the two older children hi and it was a sympathetic sight to see the little ones clinging a round their lovely young toother, who's life is now pending on twelve of Madison County's most prominent men. Nothing less Than a Necessity. A compulsory education law for the entire State of North Carolina is a necessity nothing less. In the school year 190;) '10 there was an increase of 6, 367 in the svhool population of the State over the year 190900 In the same comparison there was a decrease of 034 in the school enrollment these figures are for white schools. In other words, there were 7,0:21 fewer of school aire enrolled than there should have been by the previ ous year s standard. What was that standard? It was an en rollment of 31)0,121, out or a nOnulation of 497.077 of school age. And in the average daily at t'jndance there was a decrease of 5,007. It is not a nuestion of what we would like; not one of argu ment and theory. There is noth ing else to I e done, if we are to have- popular education and we Ulk- more about it than 'anything else; these figures show that, positively. There are more desirable Ways of increasing school enroll ment and attendance than by a compulsion law, but they are not open. to us at present. The only practical way is a compulsory at tendance law, with an appropria tion. Greensboro News. M'gions Faith of Presidents. The following was handed to us to be published. Greensboro Record. ' When a new President is elec ted, there is speculation as to his religious faith. No Baptist . has ever been elected to. that high oh'i There have been ought Episopalians: Washington, Madi son, Monroe, wuiiam tienry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Pierce and Arthur, There have been six Presbyterians; Jackson, Polk, Buchanan; Lincoln, ' Cleveleud, Harrison and to these Woo draw Wilson must soon , be added. There have been four Methodist li i o f magistrates: Johnson, Grant, Haves, McKinley. Van Buren and Roosevelt were adher ents of ; thd Reformed . Dutch Church. John and Quincy Adams were Congregationali.sts,- Fill more and Taft were Unitarians. Garfield was a , Disciple. Seven religious bodies have beert re presented' by' t h e twenty -six Presidents. '- ,' Bridge Fcr RcSaion. We wish to command our re- prescntutives State Senator C. U. Mash burn and representative James E. Rector for the passage of a law placing a bridge at'fied inon. This is a groat improve ment and utility for the people of that section because it saves quite a distance and gives all a belter road to come to town. The bridge will. bo built rjile soon.
