DON'T PART YOUR HAIR IN THE
MIDDLE.

The Hearst boom was moving along
in Texas in a way to delight all the
friends of the New York editor. Led
by Ex-Governor Hogg and other strong
! men it looked like it was going to be
1.-The whole thing in the empire State
of the South. All of a sudden it's pro-
motors saw the boom growing beauti-
fully less. They couldn't understand
it at first, and never did see the cause
of the shrinkage until an old SLOUGH
hat leader, a disciple of Bryan, hap
pened to drop in at Austin.
who are you supporting for Prcsi-
dent?" he was asked.
well, we were about to line up for
that New York editor who fights the
trusts to our liking. The boys were
about to line up for him solidly until
one day somebody sent a big package
of Hearst literature to our town. 1t
was the stuff and the boys said
Hearst was the fellow to lasso Roose-
welt. But-and that's done the work
for him-along with the vigorous lit
erature the New York manager sent
a big picture of Mr.. Hearst. He was
a nice looking young fellow with his
hair parted in the middle That die
the business for Mr.. Hearst in South
Texas. No man who parts his hair ir
the middle can get our votes. wee
rather he didn't part it at all. Yol
see, we have a notion that if a fellow
parts his hair in the middle. he ism
vigorous enough fighter to do oul
business. If Mr.. Hearst will learn tt
part his hair on the side or not par
it at all, we may go for him next time
but it has made his cake all dough il
my section now"
1t is not only in Texas that there Is
a popular prejudice against parting
the hair in the middle That feeling
is pretty strong here in North Caro-
lima, for the Greenville Reflector says
"Col. l. A. Sugg says this is a model
court. He says he has observed close
~ and neither judge, solicitor, officer
member of the bar nor a juror has
appeared with his hair parted in the
middle"

1t is suggested by suspicious mind

Bourke Cockran's statement that
the Republican national committee
spent $16,OO0,000 in defeating Bryan
in 1896 is pronounced absurd. An
official of that committee is quoted as
saying that only about 100000 was
spent. Here, evidently, is the maxi
mum and the minimum estimate
Somewhat between is the truth. Per
haps Mr. Bryan has never drawn any
comfort from the fact, yet it cost
more money to keep him out of the
White House than it has ever cost in
the case of any other candidate. This
fact, probably, will not be disputed
by anybody.

Political Chat.

The Rocky Mount Record says that
Nash county will ask the election of
Mr.. Thomas M. Arlington as delegate
to the National convention at st.
Louis from the Fourth Congressional
district. and speaks in the following
high terms of his worth:
"Mr. Arlington is one of the best,
all-round equipped men for delegate
in the district. He is not only we'll
known to people all over the State and
knows the people and therefore is in
a position to truly reflect their desires
and wishes when he is representing
them in the convention, but further
because of his long service in the Fed
eral Government and acquaintance
with men of national prominence in
the party. No man in Nash county
has so strong a hold on it's people nor
is there hardly another to whom they
would more cheerfully give any Of
fetal position he desired. The county
is in earnest and full of seriousness
in putting forward Mr.. Arlington.
They feel that Nash county is entitled
to this much recognition at the hands
of the Congressional convention and
they will insist on it being given him.
Our friend, Mr.. j. c.. BOylin, editor
of The WadesbOro Messenger and In
telligencer, is a candidate for the posi-
ton of delegate to the National Demo-
cratic convention which meets in st.
Louis in July. We all know Mr.. Boy
lin. and have all confidence in the
purity of his democracy, good Judg-
ment and fitness for the place he
seeks. We could make no better
choice-away from home.-Rocking-
