THE MAN OF THE HOUR IN

The presence in Raleigh of Mr..
Harvie Jordan. President of the
Southern Cotton Growers Association.

him as a leader peculiarly pleasant.
1t is gratifying to be able to say also
that the man lives W. to his reputa-

of the work that he has done and
rightly so. but his demeanor is SIM
ply that of a strong man who be-

is one of contagious conviction in the
good future of the South. That he
both loves and understands to the
last detail the great work in which
he is engaged is evident at once.
Great as his success has been-and
it has brought him into national
prominence--the greater work lies in
establishing a firm and conservative
plan of future cooperation. Ihat

"a stable and fair minimum price for

Eof the aracferistics of a truly re-
markable man.
-Haryie Jordan is the man of the
hour He has exhibited faith and en-
Eterprise and has caused things to hap
pen. Backed by the army of farm
Eers he and others have organized, he
has made the growers of cotton in
large measure independent of the old
cacrices of the markets. He has
shown them their power and it is to
his everlasting credit that in the hour
of victory he is wise enough to turn
and counsel moderation. Raleigh

Recollection of DIR. Gloss.

(By III" in Raleigh Christian AdVoc-
cate.)
At this day eulogies are said ana
monuments erected almost to the UNI
known, but DR. Gloss, of blessed mem
Dry, has received but scant notice as
man, q preacher and humorist
Several times each year l recognize
one or more of his cross-cut sarcaSms
as well as hear some of his stories re-
lated i'm which his identity is COM
pletely lost.
The writer a mere boy, was present
at an eastern home and remembers ali
the circumstances which led up to the
following expression, which Is SO OFTEN
used: II thank God I'm not so filthy.
This good man once stopped at my ia
theirs house 1t was just before or at
the beginning of the war, and L had
the indeScribable pleasure of seeing
him take his false teeth out and drop
them in a glass of water. My Older
sister was not SO favorably impressed,
for she kept her eye on the glass anu
at the first opportunity knocked piece
out of the rim with a hammer, saying
she wanted to be certain she did not
drink milk out of that glass. AT pray
ers that night when the amen" was

humble attitude. My mother aroused
him and made this excuse: The

his best after preaching a long SER
mon, then going to nearby home and
partaking of a hearty dinner and, arm
ing himself with long stem pipe, ne
was ready to entertain all corners.

not recall that ] ever heard him IN
dulge in a hearty laugh. He was d
good listener and nothing escaped his
observation. When some one present
would tell a heavy anecdote or was
about to make a full point. he Would
inject a word or a phrase which would
cause al present to declare the narra-
tor a wonderfully clever story-teller
all due to the Doctors help. l have
often heard and seen in print the fol-
lowing story, which was told by him
fifty years ago:
"a timid circuit rider in his first
year was sent to a neighborhood and,
as was the custom, called on his most
influential member, who CHANGED to be
a widow lady. At bedtime she lighted

he dropped on the floor a carpet bag
which only contained a Bible, hyma
book, and a copy of the church discip-

table, she timidly and meekly faced
him and said: You should be proud
of this great privilege in permitting

THE DAWN OF DAY.
c. Il. Tankersley Writes of Governor
Robert BrOadnaX Glenn.

To the Editor: The American
people are the quickest nation
on the fact of the globe to
enthuse, and their enthusiasm sub
sides as quickly as it is kindled. But
in this particular case of which |
write, am constrained to believe that
our beloved Governor, the Honorable
r. B. Glenn will not let it die. He has
won the praise and admiration wher-
ever he has gone, and always leaves
something said behind him that puts
new life in those that listen to his
cheering words. The people of this
great commonwealth have implicit
confidence in their Governor, and
know full we'll that he has this State
at heart and her people, and that no
stone will ever be left unturned while
he is their Chief Executive, that will
be of benefit to this State. One can
not but admire man Who will sac
rifice his own personal advantages for
the sake of his State and people.
The State of North Carolina can
well be proud of the achievement OF
the convention that labored until
dawn of day, for to my mind this IS
critical period for our State. We
must push ahead and not take any
backward STEP therefore it takes men
of courage, men, of strong minds, men
capable of letting the North, East and
West know the advantages the State
above all other offers for those seek
ing an avenue to invest their surplus
cash progressive man never stands
still, is never content with his sur
roundings, just such one is the Gov
ernor of this State. His sole aim Will
be to make of North Carolina glo-
rious State, a criterian for other states.
People hold up his hands give him
the encouragement that you should,
and when his four years of admins
tration shall be finished you will be
proud of him who you nominated just
at the dawn of day.

criticisms of a Governor are freely
responsibility and disposition to
credit him with honesty and a desire
to do right. The same actions by
board of three men with divided re-
sponsibility would call forth an hun
dred-fold more criticism and dissat-
isfaction, r~>-
The GovernorShip is no Sinecure.
A man who does his duty is always
employed, but the duties are not so
onerous that the Governor lacks am
pie time to give patient investigation
of all applications for pardon. 1t is
the greatest and most important duty
he is called upon to exercise. Take
it from him. and while the duties are
still responsible, you take from him
the exercise of the highest function
of sovereignty and transfer it to
board who owe no direct responsibility
to the people, and who in nine cases
out of ten will make more mistakes
than any Governor chosen by the
people.
Let us have no new boards. The
present Governor, like his predeces-
sors finds the responsibility of con-
sidering pardons grave and it weighs
him down. but he does not shirk the
difficult and delicate duty. He Will
make mistakes. as did all his prede-
cessors, but he will seek to exercise
this high function conscientiously
and faithfully. land he will make
fewer mistakes than any board of
pardons who could be appointed or
elected. No: the fathers We're wise
when they gave the power to eXer-
else the highest function of a sover-
eign to the Chief Magistrate of the
State 1t would be a grave mistake
to depart from their wise action

REPRESENTATTV CONVEN-
TTON.

The farmers of the whole State
should be congratulated on the body
of men which represented them In
Raleigh, and on the tone and spirit
displayed by the convention of Thurs
day and Friday. In every way the
meetings We're successful, in the dis
cussion of practical matters apper-
tanning to the farm. in the character
of the plans and resolutions voiced,
and in the quality OF the addresses to
which they listened. The delibera-
tons We're marked by sense of
patriotism, the prevalence of hope
and a display of confidence to use
their strength conservatively that was
refreshing
Il No finer body of men were ever
entertained in Raleigh. That they
were truly representative of the great
mass of Tar Heel farmers was matter
of pride to all who saw them sit and
listened to their proceedings

HOW DOES HE KNOW so MUCH?

To the Editor:-Ing your issue OF
August 20 Mr.. j. ID. BouShall, who Is
the well known manager of the Aetna
Life Insurance Company for North
Carolina says, The curriculum is
more extended and the standard Col
Baptist University for Women in Raj
eigh, is higher than any school fol
women in the South" with two excep-
tons only-the Woman's College OF
hburg Va, and the Woman'S Col
lege of Baltimore.
Now one cannot help being sur
prised at the gentleman's moderation
One marvels that he excepted two
even, and that instead of confining the
range of his vision to the Southern
States of the Union he did not lei
his eye in a fine phrensy rolling
sea, South America and even far away
Australia, and embrace all the schools
of these lands in his inVidiOuS com
parison. .."
The question will arise and will not
down, how does the gentleman know
so much about so many schools? HE
has led a busy life. He studied law
and practiced it a short time; he de-
voted himself for ali too short pc
Rod to craftsmanship, but most of his
life he has devoted to a consideration
of the various aspects of life insur-
ance-assets and liabilities, reserve
and SurpluS-the expense account, the
death rate, the interest rate as affect
ing dividend paying capacity-the
comparative values of ordinary life
and limited payment polio'>5 annual
distribution of surplus and tontine
agreements of stock and mutual com
panieS.
And vet he has found time to study
% al ha cnhnnlc
in all these Southern States. Some OF
these schools a hundred or more years
old, some richly endowed, the Presby-
terrain schools, the Episcopal schools
the Methodist schools, the Lutheran
schools, the Catholic schools, the Bap-
fist schools, ETC., etc. For surely he
would not have expressed so ualre-
servedly his opinion, unless ne mao
taken pains to gather the data neces-
sary to enable him to deal honestly
and intelligently with this question
He is not the kind of man to "go of
half-cocked," if you will allow the
use of this phrase that has not YET
become a classic Surely, he has taken
the catalogues of these hundreds OF
schools, compared the courses OF study
leading to the A. b. degree when Is
the standard degree, seen the number
of hours per week given to the va
rious studies the number OF years re-
Quired-he has posted hlmseii as &c
tie parallel work required. he has
seen or knows the apparatus used: In
no other way is it possible for MN
| or any other man to form correct
opinion on this matter. /, who have
been teacher of youth all my life
would hardly venture to express sc
cocksure an opinion, of the merits OF
the multitude of life insurance com
panies. In my opinion the Aetna is
| as good as any other and its genera
manager for North Carolina Is as gooc
as any other general manager IN y orti
Carolina. l do not know the genera
managers of life companies in Soutf
Carolina or Virginia even-to say
nothing of those in far away states
hence l will not say that ne Is al
good as any of these-certalniV l VII
not say that he is better.
