Spirit of the Pres s.
Licks The Hand That smotc Them.

Greensboro Telegram.
The Asheville Gazette-News is inter-
ested in the friendliness of the leaders
of the Republican party for Marion
Butler, and has had some most en-
pertaining editorials on the SUBJECT.
The Gazette-News recalls Buffers per-
fidity to the Republican party in 1897
and is amazed that the Republicans
should lick now the hand that smote
them then. In some recent remarks
on this subject, the Asheville paper
refers to another but a kindred mat
ter-the possibility of a pooling of in
terests between Congressman Black
burn and Butler and says that there
is little possibility of such consum-
nation owing to the small quantity of
ice Mr.. Blackburn, in the opinion or
the Gazette-News is cutting. This
directs attention to Mr.. Blackburn who
is certainly an interesting personality.
With the field against him. his friends
claim that he nevertheless has his fol-
lowing, and that on a showdown this
following would be found to be a
great deal larger than any of his enc
mics dream. AS we have lntl-
mated, this puts Mr.. Blackburn in
the center of the stage. Persons in
any way capable of being entertained
by the doings of the politicians are
curious to know what account he will
give of himself.

GREETING
To tile Good People of North
Carolina.

Virginia congratulatcs you on the
success of your State Fair. The eX-
hibits here shown are a practical de-
monstration of the talent and industry
of your manufacturers, merchants,
farmers and artisans, and reflect great
credit upon your entire State.
Virginia, your sister State, is here to
pay you visit and she has brought
with her a large number of her chill
dren She has, from time TO time
committed to your care many of her
sons. and the many favorable reports

err and foster-mothcr just reason to
feel proud of their achievements.
Likewise has the good old North
state placed under the protection and
guidance of Virginia many of her
sons, and Virginia, with that motherly
instinct characteristic of her, has
watched over them, and with pride
has seen them prosper and become
solid and substantial citizens of the
Old Dominion.
Virginia and North Carolina having
thus so much in common, they have
become bound in mutual love ana
friendship as with links of gold. ana
these golden links extend fron the
northern limits of old Virginia 70 inc

mountains in the West.
With that generous hospitality char-
dcteristic of you, you have invited your

We do not believe the new Repub-

to differ from his fellow in politics
and has refrained from doing SO for

How Whiskcy Helps "a Community

Marshville Home.

We have observed the way whiskey
helps financially A few years ago
there was distillery about six miles
from Marshville. A man in this
township owned six or seven hundred
acres of good land in the neighbor-
hood of the "hell kettle" He de-
c4ded to run it out into 100 acre tracts
and offer If for sale At that time
land was selling readily at fair price,
but this wouldn't sell at all. A bust
ness man here said a man would do
about as we'll to undertake to sell a
tract of land in hell as to sell one near
that still. That's the way Whis-
key helps a town or community imam
cially.
