ONK DOLLAR PT.R YEAR.
REIDSVILLE. JULY 21. 9W.
Things look brighter as the days
go by. Tliis 1j? Democratic year.
The Reidsville Democracy is get
ting ready to do a new stunt or two
when Kitchin conies to the county
August 3rd.
A band is roing organized here
to nccoiiany Mr, Kitc hin to Went
worth, Reidsville' is equal to all
cmergencirs.
The realization that there i a
Republican jww-wow on at Went
wortb. today cruses us to fell like
crying aloud for peace in our own
ranks.
Bryan and Kitchin and Brooks
will all help to increase Reidsville's
majority this fall. It looks like
there is a chance to make it unaui
luous this time.
; Mr. Farusworth may succeed in
his efforts to get some of the color
ed people iu the doubtful States of
the North to vote for Bryan, but in
tjie South they will continue to vote
for the Republican nominees.
I L 1 "
Now if Tuft will follow Bryan's
frad a hteii further and demand that
tie names of all thot contributing
tjo the campaign fund of his party
be published before the election, it
would appear that he is also acting
in good faith.
We do not expect to have all
our friends agree with all we nay
in this column from time to time,
but we have cur opinion about
certain, matters which we exiect to
discuss every Jiaie we think it
ought to be done."
With harmony all along the line
this is an opportune time for in
creasing the Democratic majority
in Rockingham. The county con
vention should place a Btrong ticket
ontwith candidates well destribu
ted among the various sections.
Judge Neal on Homicide.
AH who have the public welfare at
heart should feel grateful to Juage
Walter H. Neal :f or the address upon
the subject of homicide which he re
cently delivered before a Wake coun
ty grand jury and which an enlightened
press spread abroad. In his expressions
Judge Neal was characteristically able,
patriotic and courageous. We do not
believe that the startling manner in
hich homicide is rapidly increasing
among the American people aa punish
ment decreases decreases toward the
vanishing point has ever been set
forth with more combined force and
truth. The cause for this extreme
cheapness of human life he acurately
locates in the jury box, whence come
acquittals for one undoubted murderer
after another. Behir d the juries he
points to laws which over-guard the
accused, especilly in the choosing of
. . i . , t L .i. j
jurymen, ana Denina now me laws nu
the juries to an attitude on the public a
part which urgently needs reform.
What does it matter," strongly says
The Danville Register, in commenting
appreciatively upon Judge Neat's ad
dress, "who is President of the United
States, Governor of Virginia or Rep
resentative in Congress, compared to
the momentous question of safeguard
ing human life? Jurors are chiefly re
sponsible, and they are drawn from the
body of the citizenship. The remedy
must come through effectively arousing
the citizens as to the sanctity of life
and the imperative importance of safe
guarding it by discouraging homicide.
We are particeps criminls to the ruth
less slaughter of our fellow-beings so
long as we complacently assent lo mur
der and not only permit the slayer to go
unwh pt of justice, but often applaud
him and lionize him after we have ex
culpated him for his heinous crime,
Another rem dy must come through
some amendment of the rules of evi
cence and such chartre in our statute
law as will give the Commonwealth a
fair chauce to convict. "The import
ance of this Bubiect crnnot. indeed, be
easily over-stated.
We are the bloodiest nation on the
face of the earth which has any really
valid claim to civilization or ranks
above "the lesser breeds without the
law." 'This section leads in bloodiness
and increase of bloodiness. Tbe remedy
lies with public opinion and those most
responsible for it. Judge Neal. as an
instructor of the people, certainly con
not be reoroached with failure to do
his duty. -Charlotte Observer.
, There are a number cf men in
Reidsville who could not see their
way clear to support Bryan before
but who are going to do so this
time. They are being invited to
occupy teats on the band wagon
and no questions are to be nsi ed.
Charlotte has furnished two new
stations this week. A young
lady went away from her home and
was captured in Columoia, hiving
walked a part of the way and
undergone perilous experiences. A
man who went to Atlanta returned
voluntarily. It is claimed that the
action of both was due to the hot
weather which affected their mmds.
Mr, Williams Makes Statement.
Ruffin, N. C, July 20th 1908,
Editors The Review:-As I feel
certain you are laboring under a mis
take in regard to some of the speakers
who addressed the farmers at Ruffin
July lUh, I feel it my duty to write a
line or two in their behalf. Aa to Prof,
Sharp he was appointed by the farmers
at Wentworth July Gth to attend the
meeting at Ruffin, Mr. McMichael at
tended the meeting at the jpecial invi
tation of the Rufhn people as he makes
a good speech on the importance of
organization and he made a good im
predion on our people. I will also state
that 1 am sure that Mr. Webster mis
understood Mr. Comer in saying he tried
to array country against town. If 1
understood Mr. Comer aright his point
was that if farmers could get what is
justly due them out of what they pro-
da e they could come nearer making
l heir homes just as attractive as those
t the towns. No, we do not want to
a ray one class against another but
there is one privilege we want and
11, at is to set the price on what we
produce instead of Borne one else fixing
the price without consult ng us about
it.

Tobacco Crop of 1908.
Col. John S Cunningham, in speak
ing of the tobacco crop, says he thinks
the crop willl not exceed last year's
crop in xunda, although more tobacco
was Dlanted. "The seasons have not
been fovorable, except in some locali
ties, and the do p is more irregtlar
tqan it wa3 last year. There will be
however, much good tobacco made and
I think the crop will Bell well. The
crop for the past seveeal years have
been Bmall, and in Kentucky, the crop
will fall short over one hundred mill
ions of pounds and the manufactured
product has been advanced from time
to time so there is every reason why
the Brop should bring good prices,
sertainly as much per pound as last
year.
The people are using more machin
ery and improved machinery and Bteudi
ly increasing each year their grain
crops. The South f o years raised a
surplus aid there is every reason now
that the South should should raise all
of her food products.
Mr. C. D. Benbow, a prominent
citizen of Greensboro, N. C, has just
returned from a tri p to Arizona, and
he soent a night with one farmer, who
with four horses and two hired men
operated seven hundred acres, on 200
of which he got a yield of eight thous
and bushels of corn alone. Mr. Ben
bow stopped with another farmer, who
was grazing forts-two thousand head
of sheep. These farmers succeed by
the use of improved machinery. The
farmers use the Indian borses and they
are mucn cneapea man mgn price
mules.
I look for the times to get better,"
said the colonel, "and a general im
provement along all industrial lines. '

Watson Also Slips'A Cog.
Tom Watson made a bad break when
he made the statement a few days ago
that Hon. w. J. Bryan, Democratic
nominee for president, had made open
and public declaration that he "never
could and never would vote for a Con
federate soldier." At the time the
declaration waa made it was regarded
with surprise, even the friends of Wat
son realizing that there was no truth
In the statement. Mr. Jno. M. Julian,
of the Salisbury Post, 'at once wired
Mr. Bryan, and got a prompt answer
from him denying that he had ever
made any such statement, that he had
voted three times for a Confederate
soldier (Crisp) for rpeaker of the house.
Lie No 1 is thus nailed eaily in the
campaign. Let the next liar come.

THE SECRET
OF SUCCESS
There is nothing that succeeds like
success. Just two years ago I came to
Reidsville and began business in a very
modest way. Mv mot'o was and still
is courteous treatment to all, prompt
ness to all my customers, and the very
best service at a reasonable price, and
to strict adherence to this rule I attri
bute my wonderful success in the brief
space of two years. My business has
grown until today my customers extend
from Danville to Greensboro, and from
Burlington and Milton to Madison and
Stoneville,
Beginning a stranger here two years
ago, today I am known by almost ev
ery tamily in the limits of the alove
territory. Last fall I put in a stock of
fine watches and chains and spectacles,
and believing in quick sales and t-mall
profits, my sales have reached far be
yond my expectations, and I am glad
to be able to say that my customers
a e all satisfied as is evidenced by the
continual growth of my business. In
thanking the public for their ceneoroua
patronage in the past, I desire to say
that the motto above which has brought
me such wonderful success in the past
will be strictly adhered to in the future.
and with every piece of goods sold goes
my guarantee that they will be pre
cisely as represented or money back.
and with one of the very best outfits
for repair work in the State and a long
experience, I flatter myself with my
ability to do the most difficult work in
my line in workmanlike manner and at
reasonable charges.
Thanking the public for their mtny
past favor - and confidence, I rppct-1
fully solicit a cor.tin lance of the same. ,
