Interest Beginning to Appear in Nem-1
Inatio n Men Who Are Asking for
Honors Are Being Talked and
: Weighed In the Individual Balance.
Political talk is coming to the front.
-'. Who will 4e-olieitor, 'wiho eongress
man and who added to the Corpora
tion eommission, hese questions are
bring talked. Much interest is being
felt in the contest for the Demoeartic
nomination for solicitor and opinions
differ s a matter of fact. Shannon
bouse and Smith eeem to be dividing
honors" in Concord, bow the matter
. will be taken outside of the city is
" another" thing. Caldwell for congress
seems to have more following in Con'
cord than any other candidate. 'y He
is fains? accented as a matter of
course by many vho attend primaries.
Mr. Donghton is being discussed as
well. The latter married a Conocord
lady, a daughter of the late Thomas
Strieker. . For corporation eomims-
sioner one hears some talk. Mr. H
O. Brown, the present clerk of hhe
corporation commission wants the
nomination, end he" will have a good
many friends here. Mr. Lee, of Hay
wood, will also find friends in the
county. His father went to Haywood
a good many years ago from Cabarrus
and relative are found here to the
Haywood man. In addition to this
he is considered well equipped man
for the place. Equipment is just 'what
Mr. Brown's friends are talking. For
many years he has 'been the clerk and
is fully equipped, being possessed of
facts and figures in connection with
tihe commission. A good deal of dis
appointment is felt over the refusal
of Mr. L. T. Harteell to ask for the
solicitor's place. His friends thongbt
that he would make the race, and that
he would be successful. There are
now Aw candidates for the nomina
tion and jbonora wii) likely .divide

Live-diving Play.
Now York Press.
Work kills its hundreds, while play
kills one, says Dr. Wood 'Hutchinson
Ami in play he includes destructive
lissiimtion of all 'kinds. He suggest
ihat lalbor should be made more enjoy
ableT-a 'highly desirable accomplish
men!. b( it could Je done if the
workman, the poor, housewife, the
fong-'hourrd clerk could get pleasure
Jilt of the iKeesary Irfbnr it 'would
not only lengthen , their lives, but
note "f heir lives .desirable.
The ' child grows by tKir activiy
hieb beleiilovs. "by iplnv." And tht
leot men 'are rhild'ren hi thi 'sense
njit their activities remain pleaaur-
'rble to them they play all through
life and thereby accomplish great
things. To learn with enjoyment, to
iocomplish' with joj', rliis is fife-giv-
ng, strengthening. It is t-he proof of
i final civilization.
Our difBculty in the social civiliza
tion is that there is hardly opnort'u
lity now for the workinginan (to ex
rcss himself in his work. Formerly
he mechanic could put something in
Iividual into the thing he made. He
vas something of an artist. He made
i wholo thing, and made no two ex
actly alike. There was smme oppor
tunity to express his individuality,
md this brought in the pleasure of
reating, the joy ofjife. It gave him
pleasure.
Now, the university of machinery
ind the standardization of articles
lave so acted that the workmen makes
nly a small part of an object. He
toes not make the whole of anything.
3e is a cog in the machinery; helps
:o turn out innumerable-. repetitions
)t Hie same thing. There, is no way
f expressing himself in his (work. He
tannot contribute bis personality to
,he world. He can hot create even in
;he slightest way. It is a routine
vhich he does by necessity, but with
ut joy. It is not life-giving. It is
ife-taking. v . '
' As Dr. Hutchinson says, work kills
nany moixs than even the extreme
md bad manifestations of play ; while.
lay, natural playK strengthens and
revitalizes.!' Joyless work kills not on
the body, but also the spirit. Ex
treme labor, fe't as such kills the joy
f life, the Fight of existence. P4ay
is the soul. If.we could make the
vork of the world seem like play, the
nlllennimn 'twould be near. "
. Unnsoally gifted or fortunate peo
le 'have "been abie- to make their
vork play, Art" and literature, ex
pressions of beauty in general, are
'ooktfd. up to by mankind as of the
lighcr good, because they ' represent
'his life-giving, tbw pleasurable
ivity, which make tlien seem beauti
ul. '. What . is beautiful in' art has
Seen defined as that which enhances
life. When we H hve"our vitality
nbanched by our work we shall all
be. artists, in one widely important

FABMTNO OR lnNINO. V: '
Some Thoughts Apropos to Sscent
North CaroUn Emicrantion. -
G. W. Thompson in Obsrlotts Obser
ver. . '.
Your article against emigration of
farmers to the West suggests the ides
that the West was originally min
ing country. When gold mining de
clined the people turned their atten
tion to mining annual crops of grais
from the surface, v' After so many
years, the capacity of the soil for
producing golden grain disappeared
like the veins of gold dust, and 'now
the crops of the West must be pro
duced by farming, just nx they are in
this country.
Farming does not, consist in scrap
ing off the natural fertility of virgin
soil for -Hie first few crops and then
rushing off for new countries. That
is mining.
When the historic advice was given
to young men to" "go West," eon
ditions there were favorable for
wheat mining. Now it is necessary t
fertiliser. Tlitw returns- from farming
'peraticMis are proportionate to the
knowledge and skill of the former
just as they arc here.
Time and again it has been demon-
itrnted right here in North Carolina
'hat two bales of otton may be made
to the acre. Intensive fertilizing
and cultivating" bring these results.
The average yield of cotton for the
United States is one-third of a bale
an acre and this ratio fixes the
price. . If by care and industry one
can produce in North Carolina six
times the average crop it would seem
fo he a good place to live and grow
rich.

Brazilian's Body is Taken Horns.
Washington, March 1$. With mil
itary Mid naval honors, the coffin
eontainiirg the body of the late
Uirflxiliun uiuba.-wiuior, Jonquim Na-
bnoo, was removed today from the

The coffin, which is bronze and
wejghs 1,600 pound, 'wa.sfifted from
the, vault by eight- non-commissioned
jnicers of the army and placed upon
an artillery easn draped with the
Brazilian and American colors. Es
corted 'by a sqiwulron of icavalry from
Fort Myer, under (command of Capt.
Garrard, the ambassador's body was
darted for the navy yard. There were
bo religions -ceremonies, in view of
the fact that elaborate services had
been held at the time of the funeral.
The State Department was repsent-
ad by Chandler Hale, Third Assistant
Secretary of State. The diplomatic
body was present in the persons of
x special commit tee appointed by the
directors of the bureau of American
republics, namely: Senor De Labarra,
the Mexican ambausadi; Senir Ana
bel Cruz, Chilean minister; Senor
Portolla, the Agenftine minister, and
Mr. iShermont, the charge of theBra
siliaan embassy. The eldest son of
the late embassador was also a mem
ber of the party.
Arrived at the navy yard, the fu
neral cortege was met by the com-
atandant of the1 yard and passed be
tween lines of marinej and bluejack
sts, drawn up at attention. " '

i UOBS WATEE A' NEED.
City Again Win Hare to Face the
Scarcity of a Water Supply Like
ly That Water Will be Mncn 1n
Demand for Oeneral Consumption
Bsfors the Bummer .Advances Far.
Again is Bkely that Coneord will
face a eeareity of water before many
months of the year Lave gone. One
well informed sad femiGar with the
condition said yesterday that there
'would be somewhat of a water (famine
in the eity before the summer is gone.
Last year Concord bad a limited wa
ter supply and the ohances are that
the condition will be equally as bad
and perhaps worse. The same men
hers referred to say that the' street
sprinkler will not likely get a supply
for general ue, that only within the
Sre) limits is it likely that water will
be used for sprinkling. This condi
tion brings up again in all serious
ness the matter of getting an increase
of water --for the city plant. Last
year the board gave much thought to
the mtrtter of getting more 'water,
though nothing definite was done.
Again wilf this question come up and
the board is now giving the matter
much thonght with a view of working
out some scheme to relieve a sit nation
that is likely to grow 'worse rather
than better. The supply now coming
from deep ' wells is not sufficient to
meet the demands made on the city
and it is necessary to get a supply
from another source. It is likely that
the matter will be the sWbject of
serious 'consideration at ome.
FULL SCHOOL TERM.
Board Decides to Continue the Schools
the Full Term Closing to he tht
9th of May. Matter Settled by
Board.
There wa a (full meeting of the
board of school oommiseioners yester
day, called for the pnnpose of set
tling the matter of the length of the
school term. The board decided to
tontinue the full term and the sehoola
will elose on the 9th day of May, run.
ning a full eight months as usual.
There was some talk of a shorter term,
but after careful consideration of all
facts the board decided that the pro
per thing to do 'waj to run the full
term of eight months. There was a
full vote to this end.
A recent- issue of the Lexington
Ledger says of a former Concord pas
tor: "Rev. W. IL McNairy, of Lenoir,
has accepted a eall to PHgrara, Be
iilah and Bethany Reformed churches,
in this county, and he will begin his
new work the flKt finndav in Ami)
The Rev Mr. McNairy is a fine
oreacher and an- excellent pastor, and
this charge is fortunate in securing
bis services."

j TO RENAME STREET.
Petitioneers Asking for Union Street
to he changed to Main Btreet.
A petition thai is being largely
signed is being circulated asking that
the name Union be officially changed
to Main street. The street has long
been commonly known as Main and
is yet spoken of as Main more than
Union which is the official name of
the street. The fuentiment seems to
be strong in favor of a change and if
it is made, as seems likely, it wiLl
be done in response to the commonly
accepted name of Main street. The
Tribune signed the petition, not that
we ca'e much by which name it goes
by,' and hopes that with the name
official changed the matter of improv
ing and making street in deed' and
in fact the Main Ktreet will be gone
into more seriously than ever. If
Main is more desired, Main let it be,
but by all means let's get it in first
alasr, condition.
