Democratic Belgium.

Belgium is probably the most demo-
cratic of all the monarchical states.
The king of the Belgians not only does
not wear crown, but has not even
got crown to wear! No coronation
ceremony is known to the constitution,
the sovereign inaugurating his reign
simply by taking an oath to govern ac-
cording to the laws. Moreover, the
births of his children, if he has any,
must be registered in exactly the
same phraseology and in the same set
of books as the births of his humblest
subjects.

A Blush scientifically penned.

Not long since we We're asked to give
scientific definition Of the word

Chinese Business,

A Chinaman can be trusted in bust.
ness transaction where japanese can.
not. The foreign residents of the
orient have the greatest regard for the
word of Mongolian. If Chinaman
undertakes contract, he will carry
out the terms Of that contract though
it impoverishes him. There is no trick
he will not play to win his case where
his word is not involved, but once let
him give that word and you can bank
on it that he will die rather than be
tray it. The japanese are crafty bust
ness men. So long as they see profits
in sight they will hold to contract,
but if there is chance Of losing, Mr..
Jap, in the majority of cases, will find
some means to get under cover before
the crash comes.

PARKER AND DAVIS.

For President-Alton B. Parker.
For Vice President Henry G. Dayls
Such is the national ticket named
by the national Democratic conven.
ton at st. Louis last week.
The nominee for President is from
New York and the nominee for Vice
President is from West Virginia.
Judge Parker Is tifty-two years old
and Mr.. Davis is in his eighty-frst
year. They are both great and stron 2
men, solid Democrats, and the country
will accept them as men fully equal to
the high positions for which they have
been named. Judge Parker's name
has been before the public for some
months and much is known of him by
the general reader but Mr.. Davis had
not been mentioned before the conven-
ton met, and SO not much is known
of him.
On this page we give sketch Of
each, taken from the Charlotte Oh
server, which is good authority and
keeps up with public men.

ing from the Gastonia Gazette in order
to ask If some one In Halifax county

doubt that there have been many such

WEALTH.
This opens the way for this paper to
make a suggestion to the farmers.
And the suggestion is that they take
more interest in letting others
know what they are doing, and what
may be done with the soil in this re-
gion. We have heard the fine farms
and the agricultural possibilities OF
this community mentioned by those
who do not live here, but seldom do we
hear the farmers here at home telling
about what they can make, how much
and what varieties. By keeping such
things before the people through the
pnblic prints the advantages of ocr
climate, soil and the like would become
more widely known and farm lands
would enhance in value. Wien it be-
comes we'll and generally known what
possibilities there are in our lands
those who are seeking good farm lands
will turn this way. The COMMON
WEALTH offers its columns to the farm
ers for all such items and for whatever
discussions will enhance their int:
ests.
1t has occurred to us that farmers
club for this community would be
worth a great deal towards improving
our agriculture. Such club, purely
local in its nature, would be the means
OF bringing together the best farmers
of the community and give them the
opportunity OF exchanging ideas, relat-
ing experiences and the like.
What do the farmers think about
this?
