The Queen.

Folk or no Folk, one fact re-
mains, Monroe the Queen of the
Prairies is still the center OF the
wool market of Northeast Mo.
As long as the wool buyers pay
&c per pound more for wool than
other towns within twenty
miles of her, she will practical
ly get all the wool in the tel ri
tory and as long as the stock
shippers pay fancy prices, hun
dreds of car loads of stock per
annum will be shipped out and
don't you forget it. The poultry
men are doing their share as the
shipmen is of hundreds of car
loads of the HEN and her pro-

Pres. P. V. Collins of the
Press Association in his addres S
at st. Louis, IN part said:
"Tolay's practical training
of the newspaper man in the
metropolitan office is special IL
ed and therefore incomplete,
while in tle country Office it is
too often slipshod and provin-
cial."
Gee, but there are lots CT
wise guys. and Juggling wit Il
"provincialisms" is one of their
hobbys.
Compare any first-class Coun-
try Paper with a metropolitan
paper and you will fnd every
good feature in the former to be

THE Wisconsin situation makes the

The Democrats have an excellent

ticket, and that one-the Sun, seems
Inclined to Parker. The support OF
these papers will tell powerfully
Every time since the war, they have
actively and unitedly supported the
Democratic ticket, the electoral vote
of New York and New Jersey was cast
for the Democratic nominees. This
was true in 1896, 1876, 1884, and in
1892. Will it not be true again in
1904? 1t looks so now. Democratic
success is in the air, and you cannot
be in New York a day without seeing
that every indication points to 1904 as
a Democratic year"

Warsaw, N. c., July ga very
large crowd attended the public eX-

warehouse.
Hon. e. j. Hill, formerly of this
county, but now of California, made
an excellent address in presenting the
speaker OF the occasion, Judge Francis
ID. Winston, candidate of the Demo-
cratic party of Lieutenant Governor.
Mr.. Hill is visiting his old home, and
he must be deeply touched by the
most cordial greeting he meets with.
He told me today that he was deeply
amazed at the material growth of the
State, and especially of his old home
county.
Judge Winston took as his subject,
Good citizenship, as Promoted by
odd Fellowship" Our people had
never heard him before and they We're
very much pleased with him and en-
tertained by his excellent address.
They feel that the party has made no
mistake in nominating him for second
place on the ticket. The people here
are anxious that Judge Winston adj
dress them during the campaign. If
the committee send him here he will
be greeted by a splendid audience. At
ter the speaking dinner was spread in
the warehouse and the crowd Jared
suptuously.
The Wilson Minstrel Company gave
a very good entertainment in the af-
ternoon. The songs We're very much
enjoyed and the local hits brought
down the house.
Just before sunset a large United
States flag was hoisted on the flag staff
of the odd Fellows Building on Main
street. AS it foated to the breeze a
wild shout of applause greeted the
Stars and Stripes.

SIX TIMES AS MUCH.

Whenever a man goes to the office
of the sheriff or tax collector, he is apt
to grumble more orQess at the amount
of the bill. Without reflection he is
inclined to think that he does not get
value received. And he is right about
il when tax money is spent eXtraVa-

towns and counties there has sprung

In speech in Randolph county last
week, Hon. Robert n. Page, discussing
the burden which is imposed on tax
payers by the Roosevelt administra-
ton, points out that while Randolph
county pays $780, 900 for State, county
and school taxes, she contributes
through indirect Federal taxation
$40, 600 and that more than half OF
this goes to maintain war equipment
that has been enlarged three-fold with
i'm eight years time. 1t is the tribute
which the spirit of militarism is levy
ing upon the peaceful industries OF

this spirit is typified in the character
and policies of President Roosevelt,

That is a ''sockdolager" answer to
the Republican State platform charg-
ing the Democratic State administra-
ton with spending too much money. In
Randolph county the people pay $780,
600 for schools, asylums, courts, Jails,
aims houses, military, and protection
to life, liberty and property. They
pay 100000 to the national admins

turn they see is the rural delivery
