THE HERALD has its critics and
its enemies; but whenever we hear
direct from the people, as we
did last Monday, we find that
the HERALD is all right. A few
political rooters can make quite a
noise on special occasions, but it is
the still, small voice from the
hearts of the people that finally de.
termines the character and the
future of newspapers and of men
If the HERALD can retain the con-
fidence of the good people Of Maury
designing politicians and tie wills.
key ring may anathematize it to
their hearts content, and we will
be all the more proud of the record
we have made.

DEMOCRATS in other counties of

take the purpose Of the primaries to
be held in this county on the 18th Of
March. This primary is only to
decide, by personal agreement, be-

as to which of the two shall with

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY "NEMo."

Look to the bicycle and learn, thou
striving and painting one? The swifter
the progress. the greater the resistance;
the rider makes his own breeze, hold
ing him back in a measure but tanning
his brow meanwhile. Rejoice in the
pressure ahead, you who exert your
selves; 1t means that you are movip &,
progressing, forcing some real resis-
lance to one side. Lie down and rest
in your tracks supinely, and all resis-
lance will vanish; no one will find in
you then cause for fear, and therefore
no one will oppose you. Look again at
the bicycle and be wiseI Descent is
ever easier and swifter than ascent.
Years may he given to character build
ing or to fortune-hunting- moment
may undo it all. Never mind though
your progress be slow; let it be up
ward only. That is the way man Dug hi
to go II he is to be true to the history of
his whole race, which has had an as
cent of toilsome length and blood
stained steps. To love the easy, sloth-
full, backward ways to violence and
vice, is to be a traitor to our record.

Seek no hurried distinction. Never
wiser words were uttered than those
concerning the man who took hum
BILE seat at feast and then was called
higher. Be doer of great things rath-
er than blower of personal trumpet.
Be capable first, be the servant of all
second, and having done all, be con-
tent to have served rather than to have
demanded service. The man whom his
fellows extol in their hearts is the one
who lives broadly and grandly and yet
walks humbly. Bear in mind that
good done out of sight is none the less
good work. 1t is, to some of us, like
miser's gold, thing TO rejoice over
with supreme satisfaction, where there
is neither eye to see nor ear to liste n
BY all the standards of universal right
eousness, call up your doings to the
judgment bar of your own heart, get
there the approval Of the one who
dwelleth in the highest, and then
vanishing, vapid question of doing
your works whore men can see you
sinks into itsright proportions.

Everything is vocal of our social obli-
gations--there would be no cheap
travel were there not many who want
ed to trayel-no gas in your house or
oil in your lamp were there not others
to use it-no easy means Of getting any
where along well-built highways I'M
less there were people enough to de-
mand and to make them. Unless we
seek some remote spot, afar from the
madding crowd, it is impossible for us
to live to ourselves alone. All our
neighbors are helpful to us--some of
chem certainly without intending to
be; and we in turn are helpful to them,
cross and uncharitable though some of
us are. Every article we buy, every
product we sell, brings us In touch
with our fellows; keeps looms at work f;
shares in the whirr of the factory ;holds
the weary miner to his task; keeps the
captain on the bridge of his vessel, has
tening from distant cline. Just as a
shout is said to disturb the ether as far
as the remotest star, your little wants
and mine "move the world" While
we live our fellows from every zone
serve us; while we live our service and
our thought must be towards them.

NO WHITE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR
THE SOUTH.

We have frequently had something
b say about the condition of North
Carolina politics, and it has not been
without purpose. The State lies right
next to US, and our people are of
course interested in its people, but
our principal purpose has been to i'm
press upon our own people tn. utter
ruin that must follow a division among
the whites. What we have said is rot
from any ill feelings towards the
colored people.
The maintenance Of our civilization
and good government demand that the
control of the government shall be in
the hands Of the Anglo-Sa1on.
Now and then even in this State we
often hear men say that in few years
new Republican party will be
created in the South. That the South
is rapidly becoming tho manufacturing
section of this country, and after
awhile Southern manufacturers will
be enthusiastic protectionists and they
will go into the Republican. party, and
with them will 60 many Of the best
white people Of the South.
The colored people will always be
Republicans, and as long as thew sre
admitted into Republican conventions
they will have votes for sale. Re-
publican Presidents will give them
fedora Offices for votes. It is, there
fore, out of the question 10 keep the
colored man entirely out of politics.
A division of the whites will bring
him into State politics, and with it
ust sueh state of affairs IS now
exists in North Carolina.

OF HISTORIC INTEREST.

A correspondent; of the Chicago In.
ter-Ocean has the following concerning
the Oldest railroad in America:
"L. A. Emerson, traffic manager OF
the South Carolina and Georgia Rail
road, has implied some interesting
information about his road, which is
the oldest in the United States, and,
excepting few short lines built in
England in the early '20s, the oldest in
tn. world. The South Carolina COM
pany was organized May 81, 1928, and
dnring 1929 six miles of the road was
constructed. at the start horse power
only was used. Then a premium of
$500 was awarded to the inventor Of
the endless chain process, which Was
calculated 10 move passenger cars at
the rate Of u miles an hour. In 1929
and 1880 sails were substituted fol
horse power. This experiment proved
highly satisfactory, as it carried, when
the wind was right, Is passengers and
three tons Of iron st the rate of 10
miles an hour. This means Of locomo-
ton, however, came to an abrupt end
one day, when the wind suddenly
changed and took the sail, mast. sailors
and all overheard in a gale which
drove the cars at Is miles all hour.
''Iu March, contract was awarded
to the West Point foundry of New
York to construct an eugine gusrau-
teed TO make 10 male an hour aud hau!
three times its weight. This was the
first locomotive built in America and
it Was called Best Friend. 1t was a
four-whesled concern, all the wheels
being drivers. These wheels had iron
hubs, with wooden spokes and felloes.
The boiler was vertical, like an old
style porter boiler. The machine ex-
ceeded in power the widest hopes of
both the railway men and the builders,
for it proved capable Of carrying a
load of between 40 and so people 16 !
miles an hour. On June Is; 1881. 9

at first to be the result of fast running,
as tho train was at the time making
close to Is mics an hour, and snortly
afterwards the following resolution
was adopted by the board of directors:
"sNo greater speed shall be made
by the engineer than ID miles per hour
With one car of passengers, y ~'tn
two cars, and 10 miles with three ~ IS
"The next engine owned by the
South Carolina road was named the
West Point, and made two miles n
eight minutes. The State Legislature
stepped in at this point and declared
rhst this rate Of speed was excessive
and dangerous to human life, and as
consequence the company put bar,

car was fiat car loaded with cotton
