A WOMAN SHERIFF.

Caldwell county has as its high sheriff
woman-and she is a good one. too.
When her father died, Miss Mary Estes
was appointed by the commissioners to
carry on tn work of collecting the
taxes which belonged to the sheriff's of
fee and it wouldn't be surprising if a
move is made to elect her next Novem-
Der. At any rate she is all right and the
following card from her pen in the Lenoir
Topic shows that she knows how to pen a
card to delinquent taxpayers. We quote:
Il respectfully ask the people of Cald-
well county to come and pay their taxes
before there is any trouble, for trouble
there will be if your taxes are not set
tied at an early date. The money or the
property the one or the other, is certain
Now is the time for you to decide which
will be the easier to give up. We will
say again that it will be of little benefit
to you to wait until April to decide
There's snap enough in that card and
we will wager she collects the taxes bet
ter than ever before. Caldwell men are
noted for gallantry and it would be an
ungallant man who would fail TO respond
to Miss Estes's card.

THE BLIGHT OF COMMERClAL!SM

The readers OF this paper have found
much to commend in the weekly letter by
DR.. r. H. Whitaker in the Sunday issues.
With delightful "Reminiscences of Eye olden
times" Dr. Whitaker weaves in anecdote,
wit and wisdom. His letters have been
compared in homely wisdom and in in
terest for all classes to the letters of the
late Bill Arp, long a feature in this paper.
In his letter two weeks ago Dr.. Whitake.'
gave expression to more sound condemn
ton of the growing evil of commercialism
than we have read in any paper or heard
in any pulpit Every line of his weighty
words should be read and pondered. From
the letter we make one extract to give the
necessity for his warning full emphasis.
We quote:
'Commercialism is seen and felt in
everything and everywhere. Even a
mans opinion is rated according to the
size of his bank account; and everybody
knows how transcendentally high
moneyed man stands in the church. es-
pecially if he donates literally toward the
endowment of colleges. 1t makes no diff
ference how many poor men he has OPP
pressed, how many have been impoverish-
ed, by him, in the accumulation of his
great wealth. if he is liberal. now and
then, with his blood money, he is looked
liz to and praised by men VINO are preach
ing-or ought to be preaching against the
sin of covetousness, and those hard.
hearted methods which make millionaires
at the expense Of the hard working poor.
Yes, commercialisnl--love of wealth, is
even getting into the church,

mons in this day of the worship of Nam

Mr.. Bryan has grown In the confidence
and esteem of the American people. Dur
ing all the years in which he has been
the leader in great Solitical struggles, no
man has assailed his personal or political
integrity. because friend and foe have
known that 'he wears the white flower
of a blameless life." More than any 9TH
er living American, Mr.. Bryan fills Ma
caulay's measure of a statesman. The
great historian, defining a statesman, said,
in substance, that he was the great man
who did what would bless the great mass
of mankind who could never know him,
never thank him, and perhaps never know
the great service he had rendered them,
and not the man who could be influenced
by those near to him, who could advance
his fortunes, give personal thanks for his
actions, and reciprocate his personal cour-
tesies
II is because of Mr.. Bryan's patriot
ism, unselfishness, his illustrious public
career, his model private life, his devotion
to his convictions, his freedom from sec
tionalism or narrowness, his ability, his
eloquence, his true-hearted and, unaffect-
ed simplicity of life that the people OF
North Carolina are always glad to well
come Mr.. Bryan to the State that has
given to American public life two men
who illustrated the same public virtues
that characterize Mr.. Bryan-Nathaniel
Macon and Zebulon Vance.

HENRY GRADY ON COTTON.

The cotton world, particularly the spec
ulators who get on the gronw side OF
the market, are fond of quoting Henrb
Grady who, when a party OF Southern
gentlemen were proving that cotton was
bound to go up, said: Yes, gentlemen,
all you say would be true but for one
thing that you have forgotten in your
alculations-cotton is fool" But there
is another expression of Henry Grady on
cotton-a prose poem, singing OF King
Cotton-that is very different. 1t is not
quoted often but is the finest tribute to
the feecy staple ever uttered by the
tongue of man. Henry Grady said of cot
ton:
What royal plant it is. The world
waits in attendance on its growth; the
shower that falls whispering on it's leaves
is heard around the earth; the sun that
shines on it is tempered by the prayers
OF all the people; the frost that chills
it and the dew that descends from the
stars are noted and the trespass of a
little worm on its green leaf is more
to England than the advance OF the Rus
sian army on her Asian outposts. 1t is
gold from the instant it puts forth its
tiny shoot. Its fibre is current in every
bank, and when, loosing its fieeces to the
sun, it floats a sunny banner that glori-
fies the fields of the humble farmer that
man is marshaled under a flag that will
compel the allegiance of the world and
wiring a subsidy from every nation on
earth. 1t is the heritage that God gave
to this people forever as their own when
He arched our skies, established our
mountains, girt us about with the ocean,
loosed the breezes, tempered the sun
shine and measured the rain. Ours and
our children's forever. As princely tai
ent as ever came from His hand to mortal
stewardship"

HANGING is TO GOOD.

During the past week a man in North
Carolina was convicted in the Superior
Court of siandering a good woman
Juries do not readily convict of this crime,
but the evidence impelled the jury to
bring in verdict of guilty.
Was the convicted man hung? No. The
laws of North Carolina do not permit
capital punishment for this crime, though
hanging would be too good for the man
who would steal away the reputation of
a virtuous woman. What was the pen
atty for the crime? The pitiful little fine
of $3.50 and costs. That reads like ira
vesty upon justice if the jury did not
err 1t is better to kill woman than
to SANDER her, and the punishment should
be severe.
