To show that . man can over
come even the most serious mistA kes
of his youth, we cite that Theodore
Roosevelt when he graduated from
Harvard wore side-whiskers.-Bal-
timore Sun.
The Hickory Mercury says that
the Catawba sweet potato crop,
which will yield from $4,000 TO
$4,000, Is now being marketed a.
so to 60 cents per bushei.
The election Of Roosevelt has
cost the cotton farmers Of the South
nearly half the entire value of
their crop. He Is an expensive lux
uvy. and one we do not need
either.-Statesville Mascot.
Such rot as the above may appeal
to the gross ignorance Of the Mascotts
readers, but men who think intelli-
gently will know that the writer is
appealing to ignorance. The 1904
crop Of cotton Is the largest ever
grown, and the price has, 50 for,
averaged cents per pound. Moth
ing like the low level Of Cleveland
times.-Davie Record.
"Mr. P. w. Mock has quite curl
osity in peach tree. 1t blooms
each year, but never bears any
fruit. The tree Is six years old and
the blooms ere red, resembling very
much fower."-Daily Sentinel.
This is the most perfect specimen
Of a democratic peach tree 1 have
ever heard of. Here we have q
tree that blooms and blooms and
never bears any fruit. All 1t does
is bloom. The Democratic leaders
last fall were mild in their denun-
citation of trusts, so mild that they
even charged that the President
had sold himself to the trusts fol
campaign money. Yet when our
Legislature met the only law of gen.
ral..importance was the Ward bill, q
clean cut trust builder, instead Of a
"trust buster" They have ruined
the small man to build up the rich
man. They have ruined the dis.
tiller of honest North Carolina
whiskey to give monopoly to the
) whiskey trust. They have by the
! Ward bill and the anti.jug law
driven the business largely out of
North Carolina but the use of whis
key has not been touched. The only
result is to send our money out OF
the State and away from our people
into the pockets Of the whiskey
trust, and all this done by the party
that calls itself a "trust-buster.'
Thus they can keep on blooming
and blooming and bearing no fruit
until, they will become a 'trust
buster" sure enough. They will
"bust" the trust the people have
been reposing in them.-Justice in
Union Republican.

KNIGHTS NEED NOT FEAR
Authority Says yellow Fever Will Not
Interfere With Convention.

Some apprehension has been felt
among Knights of Pythias as to wheth-
er, in view of this season experience in
the south, there is any reason to fear
that yellow fever will again be preva-
lent in New Orleans next fall when the
annual meeting of the order will be
held. A letter from ]. II. White, who
has been prominently connected with
the fight against the disease in the
southern city this summer ought 70 set
at rest all doubt in this connection. Mr..
White states that there is no more like
lihOOd of the fever breaking out next
year then though there had been no
cases this year He says the methods
used in battling the disease have been
so much of a departure from those of
the past and in such an improvement
that the probability of fever appearing
in the city next summer is much more
remote than ever before in the past.

Both sides continue TO claim the cleo

Prejudice Decided
Election.
HE DEFENDS POSITION
Sees Grave Danger In Tenden-

Party Lines.

Columbus, Ohio. Nov 10.-In a state.
ment issued last night which bristles
with invective against the methods
which the "reformers" used to defeat
him. Gov Herrick, before surrendering
the gubernatorial chair, has made a
last defense of his position and has
given his version of the causes which
have led to his downfall.
He declares that the people of Ohio
have been swept away from the moor
ings of truth by wave of prejudice
and suspicion" and expresses the opin-
ion they will awake to find that their
lapse of party fealty has worked great
harm. Gov Herrick, in his statement.
said:
Party Ties Weakened.
'The greatest danger now confront
ing the American people is the readi-
ness. in response TO some sudden Whim
or pretext. TO desert party principles
and follow some individual who claims.
sometimes with sincerity. often with
hypOcricy, to represent a cause that
is higher than party fealty. This spir-
it which would decry party govern
ment and party responsibility and es-
tabiish individual leadership in its
stead may advance some personal am
bitions. but can accomplish no good
to society.
Field for DemngOgue.
1T offers the most fruitful field for
the demagogue and the iconoclast;
and, while some good men may be
swept into power upon popular wave
that overrides principles, the strain
upon our institutions and upon the fun
damental truths which lie at the bot
tom of our government will leave the
structure weaker rather than stronger.
Enemy of Country.
THE individual who, in seeking self
advancement, is willing TO allure the
people from the principles and policies
of government To the adulation of
popular idol is an enemy of his coun-
try. The newspaper which, in order
to swell the receipts of the counting
room. is willing to pander to sensation
alism, to deceive the people and play
upon the credulity of the unthinking
is an enemy to mankind
