Only the hide bound refuse to sweat in this weather. It might be well for campaigner t wait for cooler weather to begin the canvas. The legalized primary got no mention at all in the recent state convention. When Teddy get through changing his it will look like something else- The kidnapping of Americans and holding them for ransom is monotonous. BANKS ARE HELPFUL. At a recent meeting of farmers held in this section the question was bought up, the multi- plication of country banks help the and some took the position Sad But Beautiful Thought. When John Adams, the second President of the United States, was ninety-two years old, Daniel Web- then a young man just rising to distinction, passed through Quincy hat they hurt, rather than help, the the residence of Mr. Adams The true note of Democracy is sounded in the platform adopted by the state convention. Greensboro got deserved praise for the splendid manner in which the delegates were entertained. If the democrats do not win in the coming national election it will not be because of failure to have a good chance .- i The late republican national con- was the thirteenth that par- has held.

Wilmington has fifty-eight loons. wonder the people there are becoming aroused on the of a dispensary. Some South Carolina farmers have found another insect that is a menace to the cotton crop. Don't the poor cotton have a hard time As Raleigh is saying that city furnish a warehouse in whim conventions can be held, Greensboro begun talking for an farmer by withdrawing money from circulation making it harder for the farmer to Square Times. The Reflector is of the opinion no institution is more helpful to a community than a bank. In stead of withdrawing money from circulation and making it harder for farmers to borrow, the bank affords a place of safety where the farmers can deposit their money in- stead of keeping it hid at some in- secure place around home. It does not withdraw the money from to deposit in bank, but money is withdrawn from circulation when it is hid in places about the house. Banks are always ready t j lend on proper security, and people having money in bank can with- draw it and lend it to others when- ever they choose to do so. It is a good indication of in a community to have a good bank in which the farmers, as well as business men, deposit their plus money, and it is a wise farmer who keeps his money in bank instead of taking the risk upon himself of keeping it protected at home. Say what you will against him, Grover Cleveland's name continues to be spoken in connection with the presidency. That name may have something of a magnetic effect in the St. Louis run vet The lynching of a in Mis- which his 13-year-old victim was executioner, was not a creditable spectacle. If the hanging of the brute by a mob must take place, the girl should have been kept at home. The fact that diamonds have ad- percent need not trouble many of us. They were cheap enough during tax listing time, at least the assets of diamond owners don't make much better showing on the tax list than other folks. The outgoing board of aldermen have chosen another anti-dispensary man as a dispensary commissioner. Trying three wrongs to make a right, as it were. and Finch get a and their suspense goes on awhile lunger. In the meantime the rail- road continue to do business at the old stand. When a man starts out for office the Rood of his or at the of many you can make a mental note that the salary attached to the office is at the bottom of the desire. An Ohio man has gone into the courts of New Jersey asking that a receiver be appointed for the Stand- ard Oil Company. The object of the action is to bring about a of the company, which it is charged exists contrary to the anti- trust laws of the United States. We hope the Ohio man will win out in his case. By way of contrast with a national convention recently held, it can be said that the convention to be held in St. Louis next week will be no Out and dried affair. The delegates are not going there knowing that there is only one man for whom they can vote, and that they must Tote for him or nobody. About the hottest thing in th shape of a newspaper we have run up against during this hot weather is The Hornet, which has its motto Democratic Paper in all It is published bi-weekly at Church, N. C, by W. Henry Davis, at cents a year. That The Hornet is red hot anti-republican is shown in every line from heading to foot slug. The Hornet wants a good printing press end outfit on which to do its printing and makes a novel prop- to secure It asks for loans in sums of and offers percent interest bearing notes. This makes the interest on each note a year which the lender can draw or use in keeping his subscription paid up for life. hoping the Hornet will con- its hot buzzing and not get its ting nipped off back of the neck. Good Advice, This. Some people have an idea that if a man puts himself on the markets of the world for sale, if one has the wherewithal to pay for him, it is right to buy. There is strange ethics this theory, and yet it is the hypothesis upon which great many people base their conduct. They argue they have a right to whatever they can buy with their money even if it is a man; One should not put himself on the mar- for sale, but if he is weak enough to do so, no man has a right to take advantage of his man came in tired and hungry from the chase.

A Lad's Horrible Death. Salisbury, June which reached here this morning that young 12-year-old boy adopted by Mr Elliot, a far- mer living four miles from this place had met a horrible death, is particularly sad. He had finished his work for the day and upon dis mounting fr a mule, made a rack- et with the dipper in the bucket The animal began to run and ed the young fellow at a rapid rate. The boy's feet had caught in the traces and after he had been carried more than an eight of a mile, the frightened animal was stopped. It was seen at once there was hope for the little fellow and he died within half an hour, never having regained consciousness Mule Falls Into a Well. Robert Green, near Boiling Springs, had a mule to fall into a well fifty feet deep Wednesday eve- and it was rescued a few hours later unhurt. Mr. Green was near the open well. His on something which jerked the mule backward. As it started downward the string broke, stripping it of all of its harness except the collar, and it fell to the bottom of the well. It appeared to be unhurt, and Mr. Green secured a block tackle appliance and by the aid of some neighbors the mu was rescued a few hours later Observer. Swallowed Live Fish. Roanoke, Va., June most unusual death from a mining town in Wise this State. Mrs Thoma S Takes was rubbing the mouth of her little three-year-old girl, Lillie, with a live gold fish in an effort to cure the child from slobbering, having been told that such a remedy would break her of the habit, when the fish slip down the child's throat, head first choking her to death before the fish could be gotten out. A physician. Dr. was near at the time and promptly attended the child, but before the fish be removed she was dead A Careless People. The carelessness and oversight of a hurrying people is exemplified by the report of the dead letter office at Washington that there are on the average, parcels with- out address whatever received there daily. Considerably more than half of them contain money. Last year the dead letter office re- letters, all contain- postage stamps, and besides these f 5,831.95 in postage stamps that had gotten out of the letters were found loose in the mail bags. The dead letter office returns what it can, the carelessness or ignorance which misdirects letters is very apt to record no return ad- dress for the enlightenment of the In consequence while there were in the past year, letters sent to the dead letter office, which were subsequently delivered to their owners, and returned to the writers, there were that gave no clue and were destroyed. There will be sold at public pieces of that came to the dead letter office in the last year, and cannot be delivered, also parcels of books and pieces of jewelry. The non-delivery of these objects probably cost much disappointment regret and sense of loss to as many unknown parties. The with all its vigilance cannot alto- supply the lack of care and intelligence in directing matter confided to the mails. The defect in the original address may be due not to carelessness, but to lack of proper information on the part the sender, but the lack of the re- turn address makes the error final and World's Crisis. New International Questions. Every war brings to the front new questions of an international character to be passed u by the different governments and to add new chapters to international law Already two such questions have been brought out by the war between Russia and Japan. One of these involves the treatment of the wire- less system of telegraphy, the others the use of floating mines at sea These are two of the new problems which the present war has brought to the- front There may be others. In any event, there will be some- thing for the international laws of the foreign departments to busy themselves about after hostilities have been concluded, if not before.
