fact. Mr. J, Elwood Cox, the
nominee for Governor, is a manu
facturer, an industrial promoter,
a town builder, a Republican from
principle, a prohibitionist in be
lief and practice, and above all a
gentleman . Nothing can be brought
against his private or public rec

polling of the full Republican
strength and it will catch the votes

The ticket in its entirety is made
up of good men. It is not too
much to say that in all respects, it
is the strongest ticket which the
North Carolina Republicans have
ever put up, an entirely decent one
from top to bottom. The Chroni
cle cannot support it, but this fact
does not bar us from stating what
is a truth that will le recognized
by all intelligent people. We do
not believe the ticket, or any part
of it, will be elected, but it is iu
the nature of a notice served on
the Democratic party of the State
to have a care for the future.

The river valleys on the east side
are covered for miles with a rush

Houses and bridges are swept
away for miles around and the es

corn crop will go beyond 35 per

The greater portion of Fayette

up to the city from the river,
which is a mile and a half distant.
lnree thousand people are
homeless and a proclamation was
issued by the mayor at noon today.
The city will be in total darkness

In the county there are thou

appeal was issued today for relief
by the chairman of the county
commissioners.
At Augusta, Georgia, the death
list has gone up to twenty-two,

"Don't Give up the Ship."
The Silent Partner.
In one of the decisive battles of
the war of 1812, a dyiug commander
of a IwittleshiD lesought his men
not to give up the ship.
For the honor of their country
the men were to fight to the death
Many of them died but they had
helped to win a victory.
While The Silent Partner disap
proves of mottoes and maxims in
general and especially a multitude
willing to make an exception in
the case of this one:
"Don't Give Up The Ship."
Very few men are universally
successful in business. Almost
every business has its reverses and
in the daily life of almost every
human there must come disappoint
ments and failures.
History does not record an in
stance in which a great leader won
every battle, whether in war or in
the forum.
Eveu the most successful have
ost some tights and some have re
ceived awful beatings and yet won
out.
Whether one licking finishes him
or not all depends upon the kind
of stuff a man is made of.
Only the other day one of the
candidates for President drew upon
himself a lire of criticism because
he referred to General U. S. Grant
as having been dismissed from the
army on account of drunkenness.
While it is not true that Grant
was tired, it is true that he was
asked to resign and did. Aud the
reason was his tippling inclination
After the storm of censure burst,
the orator publicly explained that
in referring to Grant's habits he
had meaut to point out the great
ness of a man who was sinking to
such a low level, could take a new
start in time of need and not only
ead the forces of the Union to vie
torv. but become twice President
V I
of the Uuited States.
There's a lesson in this life story
of Grant's. The whole world knew
that he had failedin early life, but
tne whole world was ready to do
him homage when he showed thai
he had not given up the fight, and
after mastering himself, had mast
ered a rebellious army and then the
admiring country at the polls.
G rover Cleveland, who died a
month ago, was universally execrat
ed when he left the presidential
chair. During his campaigns stories
were circulated that reflected upon
his early life. The Silent Partner
has never believed that they were
true because The Silent Partner
has been the victim of rumors it
self. But the point is that Grover
Cleveland, iu spite of the aecusa
tions and reflections upon him,
stood firm for what he thought
was right and instead of becoming
irrnnch. and instead of looking for
1
revenge and retaliation, hecompel
led the respect of his traducers.
Cleveland didn't give up the
ship.
The world admires a lighter. And
down iu their hearts even the peo
pie who knock prize-fighting would
result in loss of caste.
Ye.s, all the world loves a fighter
and hates a quitter.
More careers are ended, more
business failures caused, more bat
tles lost because men give up the
ship, than from any other reason
Many a man high in the councils
of business, of politics, and of
everything else, has had plenty of
events in his past life, of which he
is heartily ashamed.
There is no one of us who has
nothing to regret.
But the man who allows regrets
for what is past to keep him from
attaining success and houor in the
years to come is simply a poltroon
and a coward.
The fact that all society ( except
a tew morbid individuals) enter
tains a contempt for suicide is
proof that down in the universal
human heart is recognized the
truth of the old maxim "while
there's life, there's hope."
And there is.
