The NIcKinIey's at Home.

Canton. o., July s.-The train bearing
hte presidential party arrived at 1920
this morning. Mrs. Mckinley stood the
journey very Well.
Owing to Mrs. McKinley's condition
there was no formal demonstration at
the station upon the arrival OF the train,
it being feared that the noise and confu-
sion of such reception would have an
unfavorable effect upon the patient.
There was. however. very large crowd
present that completely filled the station
platform. The presidents carriage ar
rived from Washington several days ago
and in it the chief executive and Mrs.
Mckinley were driven to their old home.
For several days past servants have
been busily engaged in preparing the
house for the comfort of President and
Mrs. Mckinley
1t was said by members of the presi-
dents party tha. Mrs. Mckinley stood
the trip exceedingly we'll and her condi-
ton continued favorable.

THE NORTH CAROLINA EDITOR.
Much Abused and Greatly Imposed
Upon, He Is One Of the Best ALL
Round Fellows Going.
Charlotte Observer

Charlotte Observer.
To begin with, what would any
town worthy the name be without
newspaper and the factotum of a man
who runs it-oftsn more for accom-
modstion than for the dollars and
cents realized from its CONJUNCTION?
Echo answers, What?
As an individual who has had some
experience | state it, and with firm
belief, that the most important man
in any town is. the cusscd and muchly
discussed newspaper editor. If he
runs nondescript, battered, blurred
and blOtched excuse for paper my
proposition still holds good, for all
that. | do not even except the minis
ter, the doctor or the banker. To be
sure, these men are prime essentials
but the newspaper man is not only
an essential; in these days he is a
sitv-kind of ''sine qua non"
kind Of go-lucky, hail fellow well met
individual.
1t has always been strange to me
it is today-why a newspaper editor
Is expected to use his time, his press,
his type-in short, put everything in
himself and in his shop, At the dis
posal of the men of every attire, class
and profession, oftcntimes, not only
not receiving any cash emoluments.
but more often not so much a.
hearty thank you" | say, the
strange part of it to me is, why
should an editor-as business man
be expected TO give OF what he is
and has, when every other business
is not out for such fun, but for the
ubiquitous dollar? Is it his fault?
or, if not, whose is it? | have my
opinion, but | prefer some one else to
give an expression of the truth.
All is not shadow in 3 newspaper
mans life. for does he not have the
glorious privilege of riding. at his

end of his business: but mira BILE
dictu!-for all this and all this. he
manages to be more cussed and dis
cussed than any man in town: and as
for living-well, he manages to exist
from one issue to another.
Let me whisper this into the ear of
the reading public at large: Barring
a few-a very few-there is no more
solid. loyal. progressive citizen in any
town than the fellow who gets out a
newspaper Paste this in your hat,
and when you are disposed TO fall out
with him because he does not conduct
his paper so we'll as you would. take
of your hat, and read and ruminate.

nished truth. can prove it by sew

Cooked His Goose.

Commenting on the action of Presi-
Diet Roosevelt in entertaining the
negro Booker Washington at dinner
in the White House, the Charlotte
Observer says:
But by this theatrical exhibition
he has cooked his goose with the
white Democracy of the South, indie
pendent as well as regular. Witness
this from the Richmond Times, indie
pendent Democratic:
"Lukewarmness and Indifference are
now widespread throughout Virginia.
and many white men do not seem to
care whether the Democratic nominee
for Governor is defeated and the Re-
publican nominee elected. The Times
is no alarmist and it is not our Gus
tom to appeal to prejudice and to en-
deavor to int1ame the people. But we
say in all calmness and conservatism
that this incident at the White House,
especially when taken in connection
with the recent speeches of Summer s
and Pedigo, is enough to arouse
every white man and white woman
effect to make Virginians shake off
their lethargy end rally around the
standard of the Democratic party,
which is the only white mans party
in the South"
There it is already. This appeal,
based upon the ground it is, will be
effective; it will remove the element
of doubt-and such an element has
eNisted-as to the result of the cleo
ton, and it will make taut party lines
which for several years have been get
ting more and more loose in the
South. We may say that this affair
is nobody's but the President bust
ness, but rightly or wrongly people
will make it their business and it's
effect upon the public mind will be
made abundantly manifest.

JUDGE CLARK AND THE CHIEF
JUSTICESHlP.
Wadesboro Observation-Disclosures.

Wadesboro Messenger Intelligencer.
The assistant Republican papers
and the corporation organs are trying
to make it appear that the plain,
common people Of North Carolina are
opposed to Judge Walter Clark for
Chief Justice, but that what they are
pleased TO term the Democratic ma
chine is preparing to force his nomi-
nation in defiance Of them. A bigger
political lie than this was never told
or insinuatsd. The truth of the mat
ter is that Judge Clark is pre-smi-
nently the candidate Of the common
people, for they recognize in him not
only sincere, but extraordinarily
able, champion Of their rights, and
they will see to it that he is not only
nominated but triumphantly elected
as well.

COLLECTS DEBTS FOR ALL.
The Belgian Post ONCE Has Inaug-
urated a New System of
CIearinRs.

An interesting clearing system is
about to be installed in. the Belgian
postal department for the benefit of
merchants. 1t is designed to settle diff
ferences between debtors and creditors
which are now adjusted by the ex-
change of numerous remittances. The
system aims to establish sort of clear
ing house under state control. For sew
eral years the Belgian post Office has
been used as a collecting agency with
considerable success, but the new plan
is expected to be much more cOnven-
lent. For example, merchant has
eco small accounts due to him in va
rious parts of the country, amounting
to some $1,000. Instead of sending him.
as at present, separate advice as each
amount is paid, or, as we would say, as
soon as each draft is honored, the post
Office will simply carry the total
amount of $4,000 to his credit in the
National Bank of Belgium. He will
not be required to give separate re-
ceipts to his debtors, as the original
schedule filledin by him at the post Of
fee serves as a formula for completing
all record of the transactions to which
the separate items refer.

ship Dixie for over three months. He
spent three days in Rome in December
and his description of the trip follows:
