1t is truer today than ever before that

When, recently, in the most learned
medical review in London, the organ of
the great English college of physicians
and surgeons, it was proved by exhaus-
tive statistics that, despite the drain upon
nerves and blood incident to the modern,
strenuous life-despite the fact that dis
eases of the nervous system appear earlier
and oftener among working people than
formerly, nevertheless, within the past
five or six years the average life of
Americans was materially longer than it
was decade ago-the editors of the re-
view pronounced it as their firm opinion
that this undoubtedly resulted in no small
degree from the discovery a few years
ago by an eminent American physician
of a positive cure for diseases of the ner-
vous system, which had promptly been
put within the reach of the public in

THE RACE PROBLEM NATIONAL

In the last number of the Manufac-

the ablest men on it's staff contributes
an interesting article on the Movement
white population within the past ten
years has increased 21.25 per cent and
the negro population 1895 per cent. In
the South the increase in the whites
was little larger than in the whole
country, being PISS per cent, while the
negro increase was slightly less, being
1916 per cent. The movements Of the
negro agricultural population are toward
the new lands in Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Texas and the Indian territory, and Of
the town negro to the Eastern and Gen.
trail Northern States, where domestic
service is in demand
Summing up the exhaustive review of
the census table, Mr. Ingle says:
Revised figures may alter in slight de-
gree the general totals, but will not
change the indication in the fact that
the white population of the South in
creased at a greater rate, if even so
little, than the rest Of the country, and
that it's negro populations rate of in
crease was below that of the country;
that the dispersion of the negro is slowly
under way, and that he is moving with
sufficient rapidity and in large enough
numbers to States outside the South to
bring the negro problem close home to
all thoughtful men, and hence to hasten
it's solution"

MR.. PULASKI COWPER.

The death of Mr. Pulaski Cowper will
be widely mourned throughout his large
circle of friends in all sections of North
Carolina. From the day he came to Raj
eigh in his young manhood as the private
secretary of Governor Bragg until his i'll
health he was one of the most popular
men in North Carolina. He never sought
public office, had no taste for the hurly-
to the insurance business in which he was
successful, but he had more friends than
any politician and had done the State
service in many ways.
In the later years of his life, in the
midst of his busy career he had taken
deep interest in historical topics, and
magazines a number of valuable contri-
buttons, particularly about the career Of
some of the States most notable men.
He wrote with much facility, and with an
interest that showed he was possessed
of capacity of high order. If he had
devoted himself to literature, he would
have won a high position in the world
OF letters.
Mr.. Cowper was a man of strict intcg-
rity, as brave as any man who has lived
among us, a patriot in every fibre, a
friend who never counted the costs when
serving d friend, a modest, noble gentle
man, who lived up to his high standards
of right and duty In long life OF use
fulness, in which he had his reverses as
we'll as his successes, he won the hearts
OF many by his genuine worth, his rare
information, his quickness at repartee,
his genius at story telling, his love of
truth and devotion to duty as he saw his
duty. He "bore without abuse, the grand

NO BILLBYNUMING.

There are certain positions under the
government which are always filled by
member of the minority party. One of
these is a position of Appraiser at the

trust he will carry out his statement and
not do any Billbynuming. Although Presi-
dent Roosevelt says he will appoint a
Democrat, we hear that Senator Pritch-
ard demands the right to pick out the
Democrat and it is reported that he has
picked out the Democrat who is to be
named and has conferred with him about
getting the appointment 1t it also said
that Jim Moody is insisting upon naming
Democrat from the Tenth district.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is going to name a
Democrat, he ought to consult the Demo-
cratic Senator and Democratic Represen-
tatives about the man who will be ac-
ceptable to the Democratic party One
thing is certain: Senator Pritchard would
notfname Democrat unless he thought
he had Republican leanings or his ap-
pointment would help Senator Pritchard
The Democrats so far that he has recon-
mended have been Democrats who either
openly voted the Republican ticket or
after appointment used his paper to advo-
cate Republican policies and give a blow
below the belt to the Democratic party.
That's the record of North Carolina Re-
publicans in selecting Democrats.
Let the Democrats recommend the man
if President Roosevelt wants a sure
enough representative of the Democratic
party. If he wants a Billbynum Demo-
crat, he should consult Senator Pritch-
ard, Jim Moody and Spencer Blackburn.
