It seems that our fellow-citizen3 who were about to run for President have subsided. The dentists are strengthening their organization. They are dis posed to "all pull together." A fresh Thaw trial will begin in January. It is plain that Thaw still has a little cash left in his jeans. Mr. Taft is a very large man, ana people are disposed to weigh any thing he may say on political ques tions. There is one good thing about the telegraph strike, if the people can't send messages they will save lots of money.-'. Some new coal veins have just been found in Pennsylvania. That gives us at least one more winter in this 'country.;'. ; '' The Durham Sun says there are fe male angels In North Carolina. Of course he refers to the local editor of his paper. Two factories at Thomasville had to. stop work last week for lack of water for the engines. That town is really dry now. A few indiscreet people are still talking panic. We hope it won't come, but, if it does, we won't have cash enough to participate. The railroad magnates may be pretty hard-hearted. But, fellow- citizens, just take a peep at some of the enemies' they have made. If Mr. Kitchin really desires that a. portion of the newspapers in this State be suppressed, he ought to start the ball himself and suppress a few. Fairbrother's Everything says that a town is known by its live men. Not always. Some towns are willing to do ten times as much for some dead men as they are for the living ones. That is when sentiment runs away with sense. NUMBER RAILROADS IN STATE Those ho read certain newspapers in North Carolina and find that but one system is "cussed out" will prob ably be surprised to learn that there are thirty-six different railroad com panies operating in this State. They are as follows: The Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, Southern, Aberdeen and Asheboro, Aberdeen and Rockfish, Atlantic and Western, Caldwell and Northern, Carolina and Northwes tern, Carolina Valley, Cashie and Chowan, Chowan and Orlander, Chiff- side, Dover and Southbound, Durham and Charlotte, Durham and South ern, Durham and South Carolina, East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, Kinston and Carolina, Lawndale, Linville, Mount Airy and Eastern, New Hanover Transit, Nor folk and Southern, Norfolk and Wes tern, Northampton and Hertford, Ra leigh and Charleston, Raleigh and Western, Raleigh and Southport, Randolph and Cumberland, Red Springs and Hanover, Oxford and Coast Line, South and Western, War ren ton, Wellington and Powellsville, Whitney Company, Virginia and Car olina Southern. LAID ON THE SHELF. The Industrial News had the fol lowing inquiry a few days ago : "By the by, what has become oi. that North Carolina anti-trust law that we heard so much about while the Legislature was in session ? If it is well for the Federal Government to play at trust-busting, why should the State content itself with criticiz ing the game from the grand-stand?" Of course the anti-trust law passed by the Legislature was pure bun combe, a grand-stand play, and it was quietly and respectfully placed on the shelf in an out-of-the-way place. Drastic anti-trust laws have long been a specialty in the North Carolina Legislature. Occasionally they are dug up and used during campaigns. But when it comes to trust-busting, other weapons are used, and said weapons have to bear the blame of failure. If the trusts were put out of business there would be nothing left to start the next fight on. The South Carolina Legislature does not call for lower rates, but it wants better railroad service. Now that is something worth thinking about. -.- Many people stand ready to pre dict what would happen if Mr. Bryan were elected President. But no one Is brave enough to predict his elec tion, v A New York man swallowed $'400 In cash the other day. That is noth ing. Since the rise in hotel and boarding-house rates almost any boarder can swallow $400 at .one time, and still feel hungry. Both sides must remember that all of the telegrams sent over the wires are sent by less than 5 per. cent of tht? people. If 95 per cent can do with out them, the 5 per cent can. Johnny Tempest Graves desires that the name of Oyster Bay be changed to something else. Mr. Graves is rapidly showing qualifica tions that will eventually land him in the Presidential ctiair. If the watermelon tust doesn't recognize the press early and often; we will see that there is something doing when the next Legislature meets. Owing to the foggy weather and the distance, we are not certain whether Japan is running "a free ad vertisement or wants a whipping. But we still adhere to the claim that Uncle Sam is ready for either horn of the dilemma. We are sorry for the men who lost money in manufacturing bicycles and for the employes of the factories. But there is satisfaction in viewing the prospect that the building of them may be stopped. We have always heartily favored capital punishment; but if we were on the jury in Halifax County court, and the fellow who shot a iaan for playing an accordeon should come be fore the bar of justice, we would try to find some excuse and hang the jury. OPINIONS IN A NUTSHELL. Oh, well, telephone if it's import ant. New York Mail. Wall Street is acting as if it had been soaked for a big fine, too or something equally bad. -Philadelphia Press.

Washington Post. -v.;:,-:,.. Champ Clark's prediction that Mr. Bryan wil be elected President seems to have aroused nothing but the sus picion that Champ has contracted the habit of talking in his sleep. Wash ington Post.
