Vardanan Again.

And now cones Governor Nardamun
and rcitcratcs his dscourteous reply to
President Roosevelt In tho name of fair
ness anu good sense let us have al, end
to sucl, 13ourbonism. President Roosevelt
has made many grlevous mistakes III MS
treatment OF tho South, not tho least OF
which was his puerile and wholly 'ln-
warrantablo attack on President Davis.
Nor has President Roosevelt vouchsafed
any explanation of that irnpulsive express
sion Of narrow bigotry but the present
situation Is In no way bcttereh by taunt-
ing him with the hotheaded folly of his
youth Whether the South Wills 1t or not
Theodore Roosevelt is by overwhelming
reclamation the President Of the United
States ana good sense, good fceling aud
real patriotism alike join IN discoul1te-
nancing the spitefulness which recalls nn
unhappy action Of years ago, for no bet
ter purpose than to prevent the creation
OF. a mutual understanding In the pres
,cnt. On the Thursday after the cleo
ton, vic said:
1--WE believe that President Roosevelt
earnestly desires to be the head of a
homogeneous and united nation. We be-
lieve that SO far as In him lies he VIII
strive Justly to interpret the aims and
needs OF the whole country, and will
not voluntarily lend himself as an inst1u-
mont for carrying into effect the prciu-
dices Of one section against another. For
this reason, because we believe he desires
to be; rather a patriot than a partisan.
We have in all temperatures called his
attention to the conditions here in the
South, which conditions can bo better
amelioratcd by a wise and sympathetic
President than by any other Internal
means"
We believe so still. We believe that in
spite Of tho Inherent and natural hard
headedness and impulsiveness that often
obscure the right, President Roosevelt is
carrying to the discharge Of his duties a
heart set on serving the people Of all
the States. That he may the better serve
he must fully understand and sympa-
thetically grasp the attitude and needs
Of each section. 1T Is, therefore, an ut
|terly false conception OF the duty, rights
or even possibilities OF his position that
leads Governor yardaman, for personal
dislike or political capital, to attack vc-
hcmently the President, since this action
can only result in binding the object OF
his structures to the real state Of mind

Bright Young Man.
Biblical Recorder.

Mr.. John Charles Mcneil has joined
the staff of the Charlotte Observer.
He is the only man in the State
whose literary gifts hint OF genius;
and our States foremost paper is,
therefore, greatly to be congratula-
ted. Mr.. Mcneil does not produce
poem a week, but he is slowly &C
cumulating a number OF the first

and his place will be secure. Mean
time many rare treats are in store
for the readers of the Charlotte Ob-

that it is a good day when our news
papers find themselves able to en-
gage our best young men not to do
back work but rather with a dis
tinctly literary motive.

 At regular meeting of Aspetuck Valley. Grange, sheld August g, the third and fourth degrees were con- ferred upon four candidates. Nearly all the members were present besides a goodly number from our sister Grange of Kent, namely: Master G. A. Vincent and wife, Dr and Mrs Bar mum, MT and Mrs Charles Kirk, MT and Mrs Will Page, MT and Mrs John Chase, Mrs Albert Lane and George Hainan. Brother Vincent in his usual "plain to be understood" manner and speech told us he thought we as a Grange so recently organized were doing nicely, and he was much pleased to see so much enthusiasm, the meet ings so nicely conducted and in all ways getting along so prosperously. He hoped we might continue to grow and become one of the strongest Oranges of the state, which we also hope, as we believe the Grange is do. ing noble work in rural communi. ties. It is trying to teach us to at. tend to our every duty promptly and keep constantly before the minds of the members the important fact that the great and grand object, and the crowning glory of our organization, is to educate and elevate the American farmer and his family.
