DEMOCRATIC MAJORITIES LAR.
GEST IN MANUFACTURING
COUNTIES.


The result of the election in North
Carolina shows that every calculation
| made by the Republicans miscarried. We
were told early in the campaign that,
wherever the hum of machinery made the
music of progress, there the Republicans
would make their largest gains. This
paper, i'll. reply to such claims, predicted
that where business was most active and
wherever labor was most intelligent and
skilled, there the Democratic majority
would be the largest. AS in other in
stances the result shows that these pre-
predictions have been verified.
The history of politics in North Caro-
lima, with few exceptions, has been that
that with the increase of factories has
come the increase of Democratic MAORI
ties. The Tenth district is full of fac
tories and diversified industries The OPP
position to the Democrats determined to
test the sentiment of the mill owners and
mill operatives in that district, and they

Congress against the Democratic candi-
date The only counties in the dis
trict not at all affected By
town, city and manufacturing interests
are the big Republican counties of
Madison and Mitchell. The great manu-
70 of
ton, Lincoln, Cleveland and Catawba were
relied upon to give Mr.. Hiss enough ma
jorities, when added to the Republican
majorities of Mitchell and Madison, to
elect him to Congress. What was the re-
suit? Mr.. Hiss lost Mecklenburg by g.

single county in which there is a cot
ton mill or other large manufacturing es-
Establishments. He was defeated by more
than 5000 majority in the district. What
does this prove" Plainly, that the skilled
mechanics in North Carolina and other
capable workers are as strong Democrats
enced in the least by the Pritchard pro-
lection sophistry.
Take the vote in the other big cotton
mill counties in the State and il will be
found that every one of them is in the
Democratic column. Here they are: Ala

ties as Wake, Wayne, Johnston, New
Hanover, Halifax, Vance, Granville,
Franklin and other counties which have
cotton mills and other large manufactur-
ing establishments.

gram shows how the men who work in

1t shows how the so-called Independent

down in the only sections and among the
only people upon whom they relied to
make gains in the campaign.

There is an idea prevalent that econ

idea is false. Economy and saving may
be, but are not necessarily one. Some
times economy is spending and spending
with a liberal hand. Economy is the
wise use of the material one has. TO
save dollar and waste ones nervous
energy to the point of exhaustion Is the
grossest extravaganza. This Is one OF
the lessons which is hardest for q woman
to learn. She can gauge the compare
tive values, however, in this way if she
will. The essential things are those
which abide and which one has in him.
self, beyond all changes of fortune and
of time. Whatever improves these, adds
to them, enriches them, is something
worth gaining and to obtain it is wise
economy. Whatever weakens it or les
sens it is false economy. 1t matters lit

has ruffle more or less or not; it mat.

adOrnment one has grown so weary that
cross words have come. Every strain oil
that kind, if it comes as the result OF
trying to save, has cost more than ii
saved. 1t is wise economy, whatever
it costs, which saves ones nature whole
and sweet, ones brain clear and keen,
ones body responsive to ones will and
ones entire being in perfect tune with
the Infinite. This is the only economy
and to put ones self in this condition is
the wise expenditure of time, strength,
will and money. One economies toe
much in the essentials. Our eyes be-
come blinded until we lose just values

is the essential. Only that which il
genuine is essential. That lasts. The

GLOVE POINTERS.
HOW TO PUT THEM ON AND THE BEST
KIND TO BUY.

The way in which aglove is first drawn
on and shaped to the hands has much to
do with both its beauty and durability,
says the San Francisco Examiner. Un-
less you have ample time do not have
them fitted at the shop, but at leisure
draw them on as here recommended,
and if possible wear them half an hour
without closing the fingers.
When the hands are all moist, they
should be powdered. Insert all the
fingers and work them on evenly, leaving
the thumb loose until the fingers are
fully in place. Then insert the thumb
and work the glove down smoothly over
the hand.
In buttoning a glove the greatest strain
comes upon the first button SO before at,
tempting to fasten this button the 9th.
ers, commencing with the second one,
then the others, lastly the first.
Do not begin at the tips of the fingers
to pull them off. Turn back the wrists
and draw them off inside out, but on NO
consideration leave them in this shape
or roll them. Turn them right side out
smooth lengthwise and put away by
themselves, with strip of flannel under
and between them.
In buying gloves there are more i'm.
portant questions than their color and
the number of buttons TO be considered
Black gloves are generally less elastic
than white or colored ones, and cheap
grades are dear at any price.
Dressed kid usually retains its fresh
ness longer and is more durable thar
suede. The best and most serviceable
kid is soft, yielding and elastic. A
glove so small that it cramps the hands
and prevents grace of motion gives poor
service. Short fingered gloves are ugly
and certain to break soon between the
fingers. if not at their tips.
