60RMAN'S CONVENTION.

Maryland's democratic convention,
held on Thursday of last week, was a
German convention from first to last.
Everything passed off in the most cut and
dried harmonious manner, which is not
to be wondered at, as there was but one
faction represented, and where everyone
is of the same accord there is no chance
for strife.
Conspicuous among the absentees were
Governor Warield and United States
Senator Rayner. The Governors name
was not mentioned by the convention nor
was his administration lauded by conf
mandatory resolutions, which was an in
territorial snub for the Chief Executive.
Senator Rayner was not selected dele
gate at large on the plea that it was not
known he would accept, but shrewd
move was made by German to swing the
independents in line by offering Mr..
Abel, of the Baltimore Sun, which paper
championed Rayner's election as U. S.
Senator SO vigorously, the honor. The
plan miscarried, as Mr.. Abel refused to
swallow the bait.
The convention threatened to indorse
German as its favorite for the Presiden-
tial nominee, but this was prevented by
the Senator having himself appointed on
the committee under whose supervision
came ,all resolutions. The platform
adopted arraigned the republicans in
severe terms, charging them with reck.
less extravagance in the expenditure Of
large sums; fraud and corruption in the
administration of many of their public
trusts; the domination of corporate inter
ests, which control and shape the policy
and legislation of the party, etc., etc,
and demands "a change of system-a
change of administrations change OF
parties, that we may have change OF
measures and of men,"

TOME INSTITUTE.

1t is a regrettable condition Of affairs at
the Jacob Tome Institute which culmi-
mated last week in the resignation from
the Board of Trustees of Mrs. Evalyn S..
France, the widow of the founder. The
course of the Institute has been watched
with interest by the people of Cecil county
and with their interest has been apprehen-
sion of the results of radical changes from
the original plans of the founder. While
the erection of magnificent buildings, sur
rounded by beautiful grounds, has been a
source of pardonable pride to the residents
of our county, the accompanying changes
from school for the benefit of the child
rem of the masses here at home to the
children of the classes beyond our imme-
diate borders has caused growing sense
of fear lest the beuefcent intentions of the
founder end in "a thing of beauty" but
not a joy forever.
The original charter of the Institute as
approved by Jacob Tome states that bene-
fciaries Of his great fortune shall be 1.-THE
orphans of Port Deposit, the children
of Port Deposit, the orphans of Cecil
county, children Of Cecil county, and the
orphans of Maryland, in the order named
andthat the purpose oftheir training shall
be to train them to earn a living. That
the present management is rapidly drift
ing away from the original plans is appar-
entIto all and the orphans and other needy
children of Cecil county are being forced
to compete for admission with the $500 a
year student from Portland, Maine, to
Portland, Oregon.
Mrs. France has tried to hold the Beard
OF Trustees to the original intentions of
the founder but finding her repeated pro-
tests unavailing has felt it necessary to
resign and show to the people of Cecil
county that if they would save this great
heritage to themselves united protest
for reversal to the original plans was
necessary.
Another point, touching upon the inan-
cial side of the institution. although the
bequest was ample for the purpose in
tended will it be sufficient for the present
aud contemplated expansion? Two cases
for comparison might be cited, Girard
College, of Philadelphia, has been held to
the original plans of its founder and is
today rated the richest college in the
world, while Johns Hopkins University,
of Baltimore, which has become school
for the rich, has been forced to appeal for
state aid and private requests.

NO RIGHT 10 ASK OFFICE.

G1eenvlle Reflector.
The Reflector does not believe man
who declares himself opposed to the
Watts law has right to ask Office at
the hands of the Democratic party,
and the man who does so is inconsist-
ent, to say the least of it. The Watts
law is Democratic measure and was
enacted by a Democratic legislature.
It was endorsed by the platform OF the
Democratic State convention and was
made one of the principles of the party,
The Republican party has selected the
Watts law as the chief point of opposi-
ton to the Democracy OF the State
and on this point Is endeavoring to
rally Its forces. Therefore we repeat
that no man who joins himself to this
opposition, thereby putting himself
out of harmony with his party, has a
right to ask an office at its hands.

OUR ROAD SYSTEM

THE COMMONWEALTH has pleaded
moro than once for a patient test OF
tho Halifax county road law before
condemning the system. And the
moro it is tried the more the people
like it. A good and intelligent farmer
who has something to do with putting
tho system into operation In this COM
munity said to us a few days ago that
it is the only correct system.
We hear less complaint now than
formerly and We feel sure that when it
is thoroughly tested and the roads
haye been put in good condition the
people in all parts of the county will
like it and appreciate it.
Az we haye said in these columns
before, We have no interest in the mat
ter, save as it concerns the welfare OF
the county. We belieye that taxation
is the true system and that the people
will realize it sooner than they thought
they would.

A ONE-SIDED CAMPAIGN.

There will be no joint debate in the
State during this campaign between
the Democrats and Republicans.
Chairman Simmons of the State DEM
ocratic committee has proposed to
Chairman Rollins of the State Rspub-
lican committee for a joint canvass,
but the latter has declined.
Well, about all the Republicans
have to campaign on in North Carolina
is the Watts law, and they will find
that flfmsy issue about all they have
on national questions is the old age of
Henry G. Davis, the Democratic candi-
date for President, and they will
be able to make very little capital out
that issue. So Chairman Rollins is
not to be blamed for declining. With
him in this case "discretion Is the bet
ter part of vaIor."
1t has gone out from prominent
people who have observed that the
campaign promises to be dull because
1t il 80 one-sided. Truly it is one
sided in this State; for whatever We
have good for any and all has come
through the Democratic party. Is it
education both for the white race and
tho colored as we'll? It has been en-
couraged, yea, made possible in and
through the Democratic party. Has it
been the work of fostering and making
efficient our State institutions? It
has been done by the Democratic party.
Has it been the enactment of a rea-
sonable and wholesome temperance
law, for which the thousands and
thousands Of good men and women of
the State have been laboring and pray
Ing 30 long? It came through the
Democratic party and that was the
only party through which there could
have been any hope for such law.
Who wonders, then, that the cam
paign 10 0ne-sided? How can it he
otherwise?

Mr.. BIGGS STILL AHEAD.

The Gastonia Gazette makes effort
to make US think Halifax lands may
be matched up there, but 1t can only
threaten US with land erich eight feet
deep" Mr.. Biggs need not fear any
danger yet awhile. The Gazette's
effort ia as follows:
A few weeks ago The Gazette printed
a reference to the local achievement of
having sweet potatoes of 1908 and 1904
served at the table on the same day.
The Scotland Neck COMMONWEALTH
called upon Halifax county to match
it. And finally one man was found
who could furnish The COMMON
WEALTH a mess of new sweet potatoes
alongside of some seed potatoes
which had survived the winter. This
is hardly up to the record made by
CASTOR county, for ours were bona fde
cooking goods" throughout, but let
that go. Seeing it didn't have as good
a case as it wanted on potatoes, THE
COMMONWEALTH throws us a dare on
corn as follows:
"By way of stimulus to corn Gull
ture around Gastonia, we remind Edi-
tor Marshall that Mr.. N. Blggs makes
seventy-five barrels of corn on three
acres about every year."
We believe that if this yield was &C.
tnally made in Halifax. it can be
matched in CASTOR. Anyhow we are
going to turn the matter over to our
farmer readers for consideration, and
especially do we direct the attention OF
Mr.. G. NJ. Sh1ves to this challenge of
the Halifax Goliath to the CASTOR
county David. Mr.. Shives recently
told US that he had twenty-five acres
of corn that he would back against the
United States, that the land was rich
eight feet deep, and that he expected
to gather from it the best corn he had
ever made. We write these lines to
suggest to our farmer readers that they
lay off few acres of corn and measure
1t at gathering time, reporting results,
If course, to The Gazette.

TRIBUTE TO THE LATE SENA.
TOR VEST OF MISSOURI.

Washington Post.
Here dies an honest and a loyal

public service afterward.
He told the truth The feared nothing
save the things that make for shame :;
he lived and died untouched by any
hand of accusation. Brilliant of in
tellect, true and kind of heart, faithful
to every trust and obligation, he served
his country we'll and usefully. His
was mind Of rich equipment. He
knew the truth and meaning of events,
the drift of policies, the very core OF
things. And from the beginning to
The end OF his political activities he
passed through the passions and temp
tations of the day with a white soul
aud unstained fingers.
This was a most engaging and de-
lightful personality. A VITA raconteur,
a fount of glittering but gentle humor.
He loyed humanity. He was beloved
by alilwho knew him we'll. In his
youth, during that long and painful
march from the Misso river
through the Ozark mountains, and
ever weary miles to Memphis, he was
the very life of his environment-an
elixir of courage, cheer and lofty man.
hood. Similarly throughout bis SER
vice in the United States Senate after
ward he held the confidence, the affect
ion, the esteem of all. A jealous, al
most fantastic light of honor guided
every step be took. A purer, kinder,
sweeter or more virtuous nature has
not appeared to us. Such men as
George G. Vest renew our faith and re-
plenish the failing fund of hope. He
was of those who gave substance to the
theories of the Founders. If there be
as we are told, an accounting after
death, this man will meet his Maker
with a braye, contented heart. The

THE FIRST BALE.

1t 10 learned from the Charlotte OBJ
server that the first bale of new cotton
raised In North Carolina this year was
sold Saturday. The Observer remarks
that, "as usual, the cotton was raised
near Morven." And we remember that
almost every year the first bale OF new
cotton comes from Morven. The first
new bale this year was raised by a COL
ored man, and is ten or fifteen da, 6
earlier, says the Observer, than the
first bale last year.
1t was not told what price the new
bale brought. The price is of more
interest to the cotton raisers than the
facts about the first new bale.
