The age of ex-Senator Davis, candidate for vice president seems to be giving the republicans lots of trouble. If our side is we fail to see that the other fellows have anything to be kicking about The State Alliance at its meeting in Hillsboro adopted a resolution the lease of the Atlantic North Carolina rail- A reason given in the is that it seems that the railway systems of the state will at no dis taut day be in the hands of foreign corporations working together as a practical monopoly. The resolution further stated that instead of leasing the road it should be extended by convict labor and become a power in the hands of the corporation com- mission to protect the people of the state from excessive rates. In a little shop talk we had wit. a well-known editor at the Greensboro convention, he complained that many of what he considered things he wrote were passed by they were not by the reading public. We told him nay. All the things, good and bad in the paper were read and duly noted, only he heard little of the good things and much of the bad. It is the way of the world. A man will read something in a paper that will please him immensely. It agrees with his views exactly and he will slap himself for joy but the editor never hears of it. Hut let him read something that goes against his grain and he will neither cat mu sleep until he has made sure that the editor has been made aware of his displeasure, either by a personal call, a communication, or an letter. That is one of the that gall, but the editor who pursues the even tenor of his way, speaks the truth as he knows it and gives his honest convictions, will come out all right in the end. He need not bother about his readers seeing none of his good things. They see them all. Charlotte Chronicle. Good Men Why We are not taking any special no- of the men who are nominated in the different counties come to the next legislature. It is to suppose that in most of the counties the people are of choosing their own With our knowledge of the North Carolina people, and believing as we do in their competency, and in their integrity, it is hard for us to think otherwise. It's simply a caution to the god a to witness the agonizing efforts of tome gentlemen sitting upon the narrow of their little tripods, literally screaming at folks listen at them they proclaim themselves for the genera- of their fathers.

When bicycles were in their glory there were plenty of predictions that horses would become back numbers But the bike soon had its day and the horse stayed right on.

Something Doing at The newspaper men out around to keep up with Judge Parker can compare notes with the war correspondents in the Far East. They haven't got much so far but are still hanging on. Patience may have its reward, for there will be something the porch to day. Hereto- fore the newspaper boys have given us such items as Parker went down to the Hudson at G a. m. and took his usual Parker is now cutting his Parker went to the barn this morning to salt his black poll Parker has his shoes blacked every Whether Judge Parker has had anything to or not, we bet he has laughed to beat the Star. the child and discover where his interest says Mrs. Theodore W.

What the local causes were we are not prepared to say. But we are prepared to say one thing about primaries. This thing of electing double and the number of delegates, to which a precinct or a county is entitled in a and cutting the delegates vote in halves and thirds, is an abominable nuisance and according to our opinion is contrary to the true spirit of Democracy. Every man attend- a convention should be entitled to one whole vote. That's the way he votes a regular ballot, and bringing him to fractions The United St is the only great nation it the world that spends more for education than for war, and of this fact we should feel in- tensely proud. Beginning with our common school system, where the masses are enabled to study such branches as will help them to meet life's necessities, we can build our pyramid upward to our great col- and universities. American people believe that education is the best means of making good citizens and that good citizens alone are capable of making good laws. To this end let the people avail them- selves of their splendid ties, and every man leave his the most priceless of all legacies a first class Sun. And, by the way, while so many nice things are being said about Judge Parker's letter of acceptance, it would not be amiss or untruthful to note that the Honorable Champ Clark, of Missouri, made something of a hit himself in formally present- the convention's work to Mr. Clark's address was char- by the best of taste, was dignified and of much Post.

The law includes news- papers as well as first class mail. Ex.
