Gastonia was exceedinly glad to ; nave as her guests last week about a ' hundred and fifty of the States brightest women who came as dele gates to the annual convention of the forth Carolina Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. An gadded pleasure - Is found in the fact that . they all, with one accord, de- parted ; talcing high C praise of tne manner " in' which : they were re ceived and entertained by the 'peo ple of Gastonia.' "a A large -majority of these ladles .bad never been In Gastonia. They were astonished at the size ana quality of. -our town.";-,.Th'ey will talk" bout it. In this way Gastonia will get a ', vast amount of -' the most de elrable kind or advertising. -' Gastonia will be benefitted greatly la another respect,- - To .have had -within our bounds for nearly a week a hundred and fifty cultured, refined. educated, enthusiasUc women has cslendld educational Influence. . TheJ homes where they weregu,Mtrbene- Ctted ty tbirRrSense. i. All who tacontact with them were In- . flueneed for the better. It was truly benediction to entertain them. " ' There are - more : than a v dozen 'towns lit the State large enough to entertain the Daughters but we hope , they will . net . make , the complete rounds before coming back to Gas tonla again. . The Gazette believes U voices the sentiment ' of the entire community when It says ' that we 'would be glad to entertain them Just , any old time they should manifest a desire to come back. WAS A SUOCKS8. "The Gazette has already stated In Its news columns more than once " that the second annual Gaston Conn ty Fair was a success but we cannot refrain, from taking occasion, some ' what belated though' it be, to call 'to . .the attention of our readers, more especially those engaged in agricult ural pursuits, the success of this fair ; in an effort " to Impress ; upon" them .its value to the county as a perma- -nent institution.-. ": In last Friday's Gazette we repub lished an editorial from The Rock Hill (S. C.) Herald giving an out- aiders unbiased view of the f ajr. The article was very' complimentary and The Herald Is. due our thanks for the. splendid publicity it gave the fair. .' -... ; it was unrortunate uat It was necessary for The Herald to have to :. say that the general agricultural ex hibit' was very-poor. The statement was entirely true, we regret (o say. Some excuse for ft is found In the fact that the season was bad and that the floods annihilated much of the bottom land crops. That, however, does sot explain the paucity of agri cultural exhibit altogether. It can not be. denied that our farmers, a rreat many of them, did sot mani ' " t the .Interest they should have ar.Ifested In the fair. The exhibits boys corn clubs and the girls ' i club were splendid. That ' i general agricultural exhibits could have been much " better - we firmly believe. -". That they will ' :. be better next year we confidently hope, f Eventually, the i farmer, poultry man and' livestock raiser Is the man who will benefit. most from the fair. It follows thst these classes . should lend the fair their most hearty; sup-' port and we feel confident that they wil, once the matter has been given careful thought ' ' .. ;;". A ' WHY WILSON GROWS STRONGER. New York World. The - Republican : national cam paign is based upon ' two theories. First,' that the American people are fools; and - second that money can elect a President, These are the guiding principles of the Republican managers. . The bus iness of exploiting : the : American people as fools has been intrusted to Mr. Hughes and the other. Republi can speakers. The business of elect ing a President with money is Intiie hands of the trusted lieutenants oi the Old Guard. .. , Of the Republican money the sup ply is Inexhaustible. Every reaction ary interest, every financial and cor poration element that fattens - oi privilege and partnership with gov ernment, is pouring its contributions into the Republican campaign chest with -a lavish ness that would have won the envy of Mark Hanna. What ever can be done with money in this campaign, the Hughee managers are in a position to do it. In other respects " thw Republican campaign adheres rigidly to the doc trine that the Americas people are ignorant and uninformed, that they do no thinking for themselves . and are sufficiently credulous to believe anything that a Republican orator tells them.' ''z' vu: Mr. Hughes Is the great apostle or this doctrine. 'All his campaign speeches draw their Inspiration from the belief that if be attacks the Pres ident viciously and vindictively, it is not necessary that lie should have is sues or policies or a programme or his own. His notion is that the av erage American voter is too stupid to ask what would really happen, if President Wilson were defeated and Mr, Hughes elected. The thing to do, in Mr. Hughes's opinion, is to in flame popular passion and prejudice against the President without allow ing the country to konw what a Hughes Administration would do. or what It would mean. To present programme of government would en able the voters to make comparisons between the President s policies and achievements and Mr. Hughes prom ises. Such a comparison must not be permitted, and so Mr. Hughes pussy-' foots over a German-Wall Street trail toward the White House, Republican confidence in the in herent stupidity of the American people attained its highest fulfillment in Elihu Root s speech in Carnegie Hall last night. Even Mr. Hughes has never reached such heights of contempt for American intelligence. Sneering at the claim that President Wilson has kept us out of war, Mr. Root said 'Never since Columbus sighted San Salvador has there been a time when it has been so easy for Ameri ca to keep out of war by doing noth ing as it has been during the great conflict now raging in the Old World." Such a statement as that takes It for grafted not' merely that the American people are fools.-but that they are idiots. ' It' assumes . that they are not only ignorant, but that their brains are closed to all possible channels of Information and keo t- edge. Mr. Root might as well have told them that there was no war In Europe, and -that the reports of a war jwrS the sensational Inventions - ofi UcenUous press inspired by a ribald Government in Washington. Yet this Is .the kind of campaign that the Republican candidates and speakers have conducted since the night that Mr. Hughes delivered his speech of acceptance. It has no par allel in American history. Never be fore was a presidential -candidiacy presented to the country on so low and contemptible an intellectual plane. Is it surprising that President Wilson is growing stronger every day and that Mr. Hughes is growing weaker! How could it be otherwise? The American people are not fools. The Presidency - of the United States is not for sale. The millions that Wall Street Is flushing into the Re publican coffers cannot take the place of conscience, courage and convic tion in a Presidential contest, and In conscience, courage and convic tion the Hughes campaign is poorer than the poorest and most miserable of paupers.

FHOSPERITY 1,'OT DUE TO DEMANDS 'OF WAR 6u!k Is Ordinary Business, tfe- ' xlares Charles M.

' "It Is a mistake te Imagine that the major portion of our business Is war order business, says Mr, Schwab in signod . articlo in the October niimbor of System, "Even "casual inspection ef i the great volume - of export will domonstrst that the bulk Is . drawn from the ordinary course of business. It Is also found that at present prioos domestio business Is as profits bio aa foreign munition business. No one 'can doubt the capability of Mr. Schwab to Judce the business situ- !r.f! Commerce, v In this report It 1 stated that during, the first eight month of the present fiscal year the exports of the United States showed a trade bal ance In favor of this country of $!, 730.000.000t Trade Balanoe $200,000.000. Predlctions are made that the trade balance for the entire year will exceed the unprecedented figure of $2,500,000, 000. The value of the export for the eight months was $3,435,90912, an increase of $10582,100 over the same period last year, Another financial authority, too, has spoken Charles Hayden, of Boston. He estimates' that American securities held abroad have been reduced from $6,000,000,000, before the . war. to $1, 000,000,000 at the present time. Com- cidentaUy, the United State has, be come a creditor of foreign nations, for the first time in history, to the extent of $1,500,000,000. Under Wilson, there fore, we have wiped out $6,000,000,000 of foreign ' indebtedness, and are a creditor to the amount of $500,000,000 Mr. Hayden . calls attention to the fact that this always was a debtor na tion under Republican rule. ' AH Classes Prosporoua, And so, from all sections of the coun try, from all . kinds and classes of business, from the merchant, the manufacturer, the farmer, the work- lngman, come reports of unparalleled prosperity. The Chamber of Com merce of the United States, In an offi cial report, declares that basic stocks are rising, that railroad earnings are abnormally high (Indicating the great movement of commodities), and that the national prosperity will continue. Not temporary prosperity, do to the war, is this that is filling the coffers of the nation. It has a sound basis for permanency, made certain by the laws enacted under the Wilson administra tion. The President himself. In hi recent speech at Baltimore, emphasis ed . the vslue to the country of ' the Tariff Commission, the Trade Commis sion, the Federsl Reserve Board and the shipping bill. These enactments not only will simulate the productive ness of tbt country, but will aafeauard Its output and provide a mean of con veying It to all the ports of the world. How Businsss Hss Gsinod. Here Is just r. glimpse at percent ages, prepared by expert statisticians, that prove what the Wilson adminis tration has done for the people Increase In bank deposits. 68 per cent.: money in circulation, 22 per cent: stock of gold in United 8tates, 34.1 per cent; foreign commerce. 52.7 per cent; balance of trade In 'favor of United Stttes, 287.6 per cent: agricul tural exports, 44.1 per cent; manufac tured exports. 155 per cent; railway revenues. 47.6 per cent: vslue of gen eral crops and live stock. 12.4 percent; value of wheat crop. .67.5 per cent; output of pig Iron. 35 per cent; produe-1 non of steel. 3541 per cent; farm lands, I 12.7 per cent; men employed in manu facturing, 23.2 per cent; wages paid In manufacturing. 41.5 per cent; cap ital employed In manufacturing, 80.9 per cent; value of manufactured prod ucts. 412 per cent . - So.
