Unless they sleep on their rights the Democrats of the tenth district ought certainly to elect a Congress man this fall. The Republicans have re-nominated Grant and there toy have invited defeat. An article of especial interest to The Gazette's readers among the farmer boys will be found on page ix under the "heading "$1,500 In Prizes." The Progressive Farmer and Gazette announces that it will, with the Bid of some of its advertis ers, give that amount as supplemen tal to the prizes offered by the Na tional Department of Agriculture for the best yields of corn to the acre, cultivated by boys under 19 years of age. Why not bring some of these prizes to Gaston? A 64-page supplement to The Ral eigh News and Observer of Wednes day was devoted to Robeson county. It appeared in magazine form with a handsome cover depicting in colors Robeson's fine new court house and bearing at the bottom of the front page the famous shibboleth of re construction days, "As you love your State, hold Robeson." This supple ment is profusely illustrated with cuts showing men, buildings, scenes and so forth in the county, together with a large amount of historical and descriptive matter relative to it and Its progress. The issuance of this supplement is a mark of enter prise on the part of the Raleigh pa per and will serve to advertise well one of the State's richest and fast-Bt-developing counties.

The following Item from the local columns of Wednesday's Raleigh News and Observer is of especial in terest: "I have traveled over the State from the seashore to the Tennessee line, and from the Virginia line to the South Carolina line," said a prominent religious worker yester day, "and have heard the Baxter Shemwell Incident spoken of every' where; and what Is more I have heard no one state as their Individ ual views in the matter that they were in sympathy with the position of Governor Kitchin. The people regard Shemwell as an anarchist. who has defied the laws of the State and the railroad company and think that he Should be punished just like any other law-breaker." Gov. Kitchin has made a serious error In commuting the sentence of Baxter Shemwell. The result, while not so intended of course, will be to encourage lawlessness in North Carolina. The five days in jail Is doubtless intended by the Governor to blunt the criticism he expected, but so far as practical results are concerned the imprisonment might just as well have been left off. If Shemwell can serve five days he can serve longer. The fact is that this man has shown himself to be above tne law. He has In the past done pretty much as he pleased and es caped the consequences. The Gov ernor's action is license for the fu ture. Statesville Landmark IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Mr. Roosevelt's Procedure la the Vatican Matter a Highly Dramat ic Method of Notifying the Coun try That Teddy, the Star Actor, Is Still ia the Centre of the Stage. New York World. Mr. Roosevelt's megalomania nev Ar mounted to dissier heights than when he Implored the American Po pie to treat the Vatican incident as "merely personal, and above all as not warranting the slightest exnibi tlon of rancor or bitterness." We can assure Mr. Roosevelt that the American people are still calm and are bearing up bravely. Not a single resolution has been introduc ed in Congress directing the Presl dent to send the battleship fleet up the Tiber to snell Rome. The gen era! feeling Is one of sympathy with the Vatican In having missed " a perfectly corking time" on account of the restrictions of Papal etiquette. Even if Mr. Roosevelt had not sent that impassioned cablegram to Dr, Abbott pleading for "the avoidance of 'harsh and bitter comment," we think the American people would have restrained themselves and gone to work as usual yesterday morning when the whistle blew. Although they have been compelled to strug gle along for a year without Mr. Roosevelt's personal counsel, guld ance and attention, most Americans are still rather more than half-wit ted. They know that the Vatican has certain rules tnat visitors are expected to comply with, and that visitors who do not wish to comply with these rules are not obliged to seek' an audience with ' the Pope They know too that it was Mr, Roosevelt who invited himself to the Vatican, and that be was wholly within his rights in deciding later that he could not accept the restric tions the Vatican sought to impose. Mr. Roosevelt's cablegram to Dr Abbott reads less like a plea for re ligious toleration than like a formal notice of bis resumption of political activity. The Roosevelt mark is branded indelibly upon the incident We recognize all the familiar tricks of the most versatile of living press agents. It was on larcb 29 that Mr Roosevelt decided not to visit the Vatican and cabled to Ambassador Leishman, "Proposed presentation is of course now Impossible." But no announcement was made., There was no hint of altered arrangements. Mr. Roosevelt waited until he was in Rome and the centre of attention In the Eternal City. He waited un til Sunday, knowing, as be knew when he was President, that Sunday night is the psychological time to make a sensational announcement, because the Monday newspapers are usually dull and "big news is played up for all it's worth." When all the stage-settings were In place the cor respondents were called In, the ca blegram was sent to the editor of the Outlook, and the civilized world knew that Theodore Roosevelt 'had resumed business at the old stand. It was a highly dramatic method of notifying the country that the centre of the stage was again occu pied by the only political actor wor thy of the star part. But why drag In religion? FATTEST WOMAN IS DEAD. Weighed 13.4 Ponnds for Every Inch of Her Height, Her Total Weight Being 700 Pounds Derrick to Be . Used in Lowering Body From Her Apartment. New York, April 7. Louise Am brodine, .who had the distinction of weighing 13.4 pounds for every inch of ber height, died tonight of acute rheumatism. She was 4 feet 4 inches by 4 feet 4 inches and weighed 700 pounds. Sbe was 24 years old and well known as a professional fat wo man. A derrick will be used to low er the body from her apartment, as the stairway is too narrow for its passage. Worked to Death Shipping Eggs. Our Home. "I wish every hen in Union coun ty would take the cholera and die," said an employe of one of the big mercantile establishments here one day last week. When Inquiry was made as to the grounds for bis wish, be replied: "Why lust keeos a fellow run to death to ship the eggs that this firm handles." He then went on to state that the said com pany shipped on an average of about ten crates of ezzu ner dar. The poultry business Is growing in Un ion county and those who nave tried it say It pays well when proper at tention is given the industry. -But we started out to say that It's a great pity that so many eggs must be sent from MarihYllld to other towns- for consumption. There ought to be manufacturing enter prises enough right here to employ a sufficient number of people to use the large amount of chickens, eggs, Behind Every Box of Candies bearing thc name "NunnallyV'stands a business famous in the South for 25 years a guarantee of the purest, most wholesome candies. bonbons and choc olates come to us by fast express almost every day, which explains to you the delicious freshness that accentuates their goodness.

Many mothers Imagine their daughter's fortune made when she learns enough to thump on a piano, or labors enough to daub a cheap chromo or to work a yellow dog on a floor-mat. Girls are too glad to be spoiled that way. Teach them to command a regiment of pots and kettles; teach them to make good bread, good coffee, teach them to make garments and to patch them when they need it. Teach them physical development; teach them it is more cruel and less Christian for American women to cramp and distort their lungs, liver and stom- I ach, than it is for the Hottentots to press their heads flat, or for the Chinese to make their feet small. Good, healthy industrious girls make happy homes, and wives and moth ers. Tommy's Prayer. Philadelphia Bulletin-. The Sunday school lesson had been on the efficacy of prayer, and the teacher had done her best to in still Into the youthful mind the be lief that our prayers are answered. There was one doubting Thomas, however, who insisted that he knew better. "Why, Tommy, I am surprised to hear you say you don't believe our prayers are answered!" expostulat ed the teacher. "I know they ain't," persisted Tommy doggedly. "What makes you think so?" ask ed the teacher. "I don't think It; I know it," re plied Tommy. "You know the an gels brought a new baby to our house last week." "Yes, I heard about that," said the teacher. "Now, surely, that was an answer to prayer, wasn't it?" "It was. nit!" replied Temmy. disgustedly. "Why, for six months I've been praying for a goat!"
