THE RESULTS WILL REPAY
EVERY EDITOR.
REPAY

The indications are that the great
Conference of Democratic and indie
pendent Editors who stand for Judge
Parker and the Constitution is to be an
event of unusual Importance.
Reports being received from all sec
tons of the country are that the edi-
tors of America will be present in
large numbers at New York and
Esopus on the 18th and Sth of Novem-
Der The conference is to be one that
will send each editor back to his desk
with a clearer conception of the great
principles involved in the coming cleo
ton, and a stronger belief, if that
were possible, that Judge Parker is
the man to whom this country should
turn as refuge from the extravagan-
zas and erraticisms of Roosevelt, to
whom the Constitution is nothing.
President Warner and Secretary
Sheriff., of the North Carolina Press
Association have sent out letters of in
vitation to the Democratic editors OF
this State asking them to attend the
conference. Many have already sig
nified their intention of going, and
many more are expected to do so. The
conference, the banquet and the per-
sonal visit TO Judge Parker at Esopus
are sufficient to attract every editor in
the State.
And back of all this the visit and
meeting in New York will rebound to
the good of the Democratic party.
That is the purpose of the conference,
and each editor in the United States
who can possibly do SO should attend
the meeting. They will be amply re-
maid by the results of it

THE HEROES OF THE GRAY.

The old soldiers of the Confederacy,
the Veterans of the great Civil conflict
are gathered in Asheville. The years
fast rolling are thinning the ranks of
these noble sons of the South, and the
gray hairs of few years back that
matched the uniforms they wore are
Silvery, yet as their steps grow falter-
ing greater love for them swells in
the heart of the people of this fair
Southland for which they fought.
God bless them as they gather this
year from every part of North Caro-
lima, and God grant that for years to
come many may linger with us. No
land ever produced a Drawer set of
men. no country men who after war
had desolated it and defeat had strick-
en- it who more bravely set themselves
to the task of rehabitating it. These
men who meet in Asheville be heroes,
be they of the rank and file or of the
line and staff.
Here's to their meeting, to their
happiness, to their success. And when
the final drum beat sounds, here's to
their safe deliverance.

Two things need to be ever IN mlnd:
One is we should cultivate the habit
of seizing upon the brighter and bet
ter things of each passing minute and
thus get all the good out of the
minutes that go by to return no more
in place of dwelling solely or mostly
on the dark and troublous things. The
other thing we should bear in mind
is that if we could get in the other

Ellis (Roosevelts) conduct in the
floating of the Panama Republic, his
ruthless disregard of public sentiment
in the South, his dictatorial asSump-
ton of authority in every department
of the public Servic have sufficed to
show the people that his ideal of gov

Abuse of Former Presidents.
President Roosevelt in the course
of his writings has taken occasion to
eXcoriate each of our Chief EXecu-
