This state has recently lost several of her largest brained men and is made the poorer thereby. The latest draft up- on us is the election of Dr. C Al Smith, of the North Carolina University, to the presidency of the University of Tennessee. Can it be that we at home do not appreciate the worth of our best men We like to see these men honored, but they are needed so much in our own borders. The owners and officers of the steamer Slocum have been found guilty of criminal neglect by the coroner s jury. Now let everybody work in with the officers and help give Greenville a good administration for the next twelve months. It you are not disposed to lend your aid and support to any move- that aims toward the advance- or improvement of your town, try to at least show your patriotism by keeping quiet. Pity any com- that is infested with citizens who can see no good in anything, and seek to discourage everything that has the smell of improvement. Mt. Olive Tribune. A cloud burst near Pa., that destroyed thousands of dollars worth of property, a cyclone in Texas that nearly wiped out a whole town, and a hail storm in Nebraska with hail stones weighing half a pound, shows something that the elements are doing these days.

Some of these days there is going to be trouble in the democratic camp over the work of its conventions. This thing of insisting on candidates before any platform whatever is promulgated may work all right and again it may not. When the excitement of a contest is over, two-thirds of the delegates de- part, leaving a mere handful to adopt a platform and ever this thing there is almost sure to become a vision or split. It is as sure as fate that had the entire delegation been present two years ago when the plat- form was adopted it would not have read as it did. Conservatism is needed It is better to heed it be- fore it is too late. All the talk about the party being so st that it cannot be defeated is pure my rot of the worst Record. The strangest people that hare ever come into the view of the Christian world are the Japanese. The war in which they are now en- gaged has served to throw new light upon their national character and to a rood many facts about them not known before.
