For some months two lovers Of South
ern song. the Virginia Pilot. OF Norfolk
and the Charlotte Observer, have been
discussing with equal amiability and
learning the comparative merits OF Old
Dominion and Tar Heel poetry. The
exhibition of netrical goods has been sur
prising. but until few days ago 1t was
hard for the conscientious and unpreju-
diced Northern inquirer to make up his
mind whether North Carolina or Virginia
was sovereign of the Southern Tyre. Now
doubt has vanished. The Mother of Presi-
dents Is the Mother Of Poets. The Norfolk
connoisseur has displayed samples which
North Carolina cannot match. The Hon.
Homer Harlow, OF Qunque. Is the great

How VIII the Republicans Explain
This.

How VIII the Republicans Explain
Southwest Virginian: Republicans have
been very busy telling around over the
county that poor white men, cannot
register under the new Constitution. We
wonder how they are going to explain
that statement to the host of poor white
men who have been registering without
the. least trouble. in Jonesville during
this week.
Roanoke Times: It is a rather broad
statement to say that nations advance
rient in civilization is determined by its
roads, but nevertheless. We believe that
history will bear out the fact. Wherever
civilization has penetrated the darkness
OF heathendon1, the stability has been
established through the construction OF
roads. Good roads are part and parcel
OF civilization. Barbarous and unciviIized
tribes do not have them.
Portsmouth Star: Reports from all over
the State indicate widespread and I'M
accountable apathy among good citizens
as to registration. What Is the matter
with the people? There cannot be a
white mans government, without wh.>e
e,
vote unless their names are on the regis
tret:on books. The Good citizen whose
indifference to his own and the general
welfare is such that he is willing to dis
franchise himself. sinks at once. so far as
true citizenship Is concerned. to the level
Of the vicious and the iawbreaker.
A good citizen without vote Is mon
strosity.
Staunton News: II they arrest very
many millionaires out In ST. Louis In con-
nection with the bribery charges against
aldermen it may result in interfering
with subscriptions to the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition.
New Castle Record: General apathy
seems to pervade the State SO far in the
matter OF registration. and strange to
say, chiefly among the whites. The ne
groes in the eastern section Of the State
1t Is said, have been especially active in
registration. There seems to be more
widespread ignorance, for question that
has been discussed as much as the fran
ch1so clause of the Constitution, and the
necessary qualifications of a voter, than
on any other question that has come UP
for years.

The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison. Kan, Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle of
the night by whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case of Group,
as revolver is sure to be lost in case of
burglars. There used to be an old
fashioned remedy for Group, known as
hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. 1t causes the patient to "throw
up the phlegm" quicker and gives relief
in shorter time. Give this remedy as
soon as the croupy cough appears and it
will prevent the attack. 1t never fails
and is pleasant and safe to take. For
