In the Political Unrett of the Tune Town and Country Should Unite. Mr. Taft. (From Charity and Children.) COUNTY CORRESPONDENTS WESTERN N.C CONFERENCE Our readers will bear testimo- i Itniet From Our Regular Corre- Interesting Busy Sesuon States- Unrest is back of every intel lectual or political crusade or tendency in this country today. One need not be a Republican, a Democrat, a Socialist, a Bull Moose, or a member of any other party to realize that fact. Look about you and with very few exceptions you will see few people who are satisfied with existing conditions. One party may diagnose the trouble in its own particular way, and pre scribe its own particular remedy Another party may take an ex actly apposite course. But the man in the city or the country, if he reads and thinks or observes even a little, realizes that slowly, but irresistibly there is approaching a readjust ment in American and in this readjustment, the main battle cry will be a more equa.1 dis tribution of the burdens and the rewards, of the penalties and the premiums. The great majority of Ameri cans are discontented with the status as it now is, and the new spirit that is breathing over the face of the waters of thought and sentiment is the genuine and not the fake, brotherhood of man or at least a condition earer approximating it than we have seen yet in this nation. In that day of change, of evo lution, that is coming, it is to the interest of both town and country to stand as one. In the final analysis, we are all Ameri cans. It is true, that a few prey up on town (and country alike. It is against the interest of this few to encourage a thorough un derstanding between town and country. We must remember, in consid ering this fact, that the city man today was the country man of yesterday ; that the country man of today is likely to be the city man of tomorrow; that both are of the same blood, with the some ties and the identical ulti mate interest. I am glad, as every thinking American should be glad, that the era of misunderstanding be tween city and country is disap pearing. Progress in that direct ion means that in the arduous and delicate solution of the problems that beset our com mon nation, town and country will be arrayed together and battling intelligently for human rights, .whether in the most populously or the most sparse ly settled country. Charles S. Bakrett ny that this paper has a very high admiration for President Taft. He is in no sense of the word a politician, and is too credulous and confiding to oc cupy the Executive chair. He was led into a fatal error by Cannon and Aldrich. two cun ning old demagogues who suc ceeded in fooling nobody else. But they did fool Mr. Taft. The President is a broad man per haps a little too broad for a party man. He angered his pondents and Neighboring County Papers. ville District Appointments. WHITNEL. Kev. I. W.

Mr. I. E. Reynolds, of Atlan ta, wholhad charge of the sing ing at a revival in the First Baptist church of Durham last week introduced a new idea in to the musical part of the ser .vices. After making many vain requests that the whole audi ence take part in the singing, he suggested that those who could not sing the songs, to hum them and if they could not hum to whistle the tune. The nove idea took. At almost any fol lowing service a large part of the congregation could be found whistling an accompaniment to the song being led by the large choir. The dispatch stated that the whistling did not make the service any the leas solemn. The fellow who boasts of his virtues is putting the red apple on the top of thu basket.

What is regarded as the most radical version of the Holy Bible was placed on sale at Philadelphia, Pa., November 13th at the American Baptist Publication society room. It is a Baptist Bible for Baptists only and much of the old text has been entirely changed. In that portion of the New Testament where the conversation of the Savior is described, in place of using the Greek "baptize" the literal translation "immerse" is used, so as to conform with Baptist teachings that Christ went down into the water for the baptism. All the archais forms of the King James and Revised Vers ions have been completely eli minated. The new Bible is call- 1 .1 "IT 1 r eu me improveu ersions. and is distinctly different from the old Scriptures. Practically no other church.but the Baptist will be able to use it, because it interprets the Scriptures to mean solely what the Baptist church teaches. Ex. NEWS ITEMS OF INTEREST. Interesting Reading Matter of Local and National Affairs in Condensed Form. Our aged townsman, Mr. W. C. Coffey, was right painfully though, we trust, not seriously hurt, on Tuesday afternoon. He was in the forest having some wood prepared. A small tree had been cut, and when it fell split, hung to the stump, and lodged before striking the ground. He took an ax, struck a few licks at the splinters which held the tree to the stump when it "kicked," striking him on the shoulder and felling him to the ground. He was brought home; Dr. Jones was summoned and upon examination found that no bones were broken, the worst injury being bruises and and strained muscles about the shoulders and back. He is rest ing fairly easy and his condition is not at all alarming, and we trust he may be out again in the very near future. Watauga Democrat. LOCKE CRAIG. (Catawba County News.)
