Did you ever think how, all through the
web OF life, there runs this thread of good
cheer9 1t comes to the column in letters
of sympathy and hope; ii comes in clip
pings of poetry like that above. Perhaps
it is because of our attention having been
called TO this way of giving help that We
notice more in our reading ''the things
that make" for cheer; possibly it is the
optimistic spirit working in the world,
for il seems to many, no doubt, that life is
looked upon and lived on broader plane
and with more hopeful outlook than it
Was several generations ago.
But after all, quite likely different per-
sons viewed it then in different lights,
and our opinion of it varies with our own
personal conditions and experiences.
Some take it all in matter Of fact way
the sun rises and sets, they think not OF
its power or OF its source; no question of
science or philosophy disturbs them; even
interest in their minds.
We sometimes hear ii said of a person,
she or she takes life too seriously. and
sometimes ones sensibilities are shocked
by the apparent csrelessness Of those who
seem to look upon life as s'huge joker.
So the world continues to be made up of
ssall kinds, and as in nature in every
form we find no duplicates, SO no two OF US
are just alike. II we could realize this
more we should not expect every one to
conform TO our standard.

Some of the Fruits of Democratic GOOD
Government"
Asheville, N. c., April 1.-The
docket of Buncombe County Supe-
rior Court is giving the attorneys
interested and the presiding judge
no little concern. The docket is
badly congested. There are not
more than $50 cases on the docket
and the number increases weekly.
A number of cases have been insti-
tuted this year while few have been
disposed of. Judge Allen, who is
presiding at this term of court, is
favorable to the appointment of a
committee of three lawyers to go
over the docket and report as to the
cases that should be tried first and
also as to those of frivolous nature
and which should be non-suited. It
is believed that this suggestion of
Judge Allen will be acted upon by
by the Asheville Bar Association
and solution of the problem ar
rived at.
Many Of the cases have been on
the docket for years, and the costs
to the county and litigants by reason
Of delays is enormous. A revision
of the docket is imperative, and it
is likely that speedy action will be
taken.

Machine Rule Dangerous.
Hickory Times-Mercury.7

y vi
Machine rule is dangerous. There
are machines in nearly everything.
We fear it is getting into the
churches, from appearances and pa
per reports. 1t is not only in large
corporations and insurance compa.
MES, but in governments of towns,
cities, counties, states and nations.
And the great honest masses pay for
the whistle.
Look how it is with the Dispen-
sary system in South Carolina. The
machine is running it to suit its
own greed. The State is getting
poorer and in debt. Look how it
was with the Republican machine
in Philadelphia. It is said the Re-
formers have saved half a million
dollars on the sand filtration alone
since they got charge. It is charged
that there is such a machine in the
little city Of Gastonia. It will be
80 with the dispensary in Raleigh.
1t is the tendency Of the age. The
people can no longer shut their ewes
to the fact. And a party, ring or
clique that gets absolute control of a
nation, state, county or town, and
reels that 1t is in for good, will be-
come corrupt and should be watched.

He Was From Sampson.

The write-up Of the Greensboro
police court in recent issue of the
Daily Industrial News contained the
following concerning an offender
from Sampson County:
"The next case was against T. ID.
Matthews, a giant-like young man
with much twisted head of tow
hair. He was charged with drunk
enness, and plead guilty.
In his explanation Of the offense
he stated that he was a long way
from home, and had only few dol
lars ia his possession.
"Where is your home ?" asked
the mayor.
Luckily for the prisoner he was
reared in Sampson county, also the
home Of Mayor Murphy.
With great loyalty to a fellow
man from his native county, the
mayor answered: ''That's a mighty
good country down there, and !
guess I'll let you off with the costs
in the case" And an attorney, who
was present, was mean enough to
suggest that from now on all offend
ers will say they hail from the ia.

RURAL MAIL ROUTES.

The rural mail carriers are now
counting the pieces Of mail they
carry on their routes, and will con-
tirlue to do go through April, May
and June. The routes over which
the carriers handle 1900 pieces or
more a month will be continued the
routes which fall under 1000 the SER
vice may be reduced to three times
a week or less, and some routes
where it is shown that the service is
not appreciated may be cut off alto
gether.
We hope that not single route in
the State will have 10 be discon-
tinued. But some Of the people
along the routes will have to show
more appreciation of the service,
and good way to do this is to take
newspapers and get your neighbors
to subscribe for good papers.
We are anxious to help the people
to have their routes continued, and
all persons who will send US three

next three months we will send them

WHEN THE PEOPLE REMEMBER.
The following from the editorial
columns of the News and Observer
is along the same line we have been
writing some time:
"The official who does not keep
the promises he made when he was
a candidate, presuming upon the fact
that the people have short memories,
will live to regret the presumption.
There will be better public officials
when the people show they have
long memories Of unkept promises"
The above must have gotten into
the News and Observer by mistake,
for surely that paper would not pub
lish anything to destroy its own
party. Where are those men who
promised the people that if the
amendment was passed that not a
single white man should be disfran-
chised Where are those men who
promised the voters that their party
would provide for the insane Of the
State? They are in the Democratic
party, many Of them holding promi-
nent offices, and the News and OBJ
server helped to elect them.
But, as the Observer says, we will
have better public officials when the
people show they have long memo
ries Of unkept promises.

sherfds Derelict in Performance OF Duty.
One Of the best men of this county
was in our Office lately and made
complaint about the illegal whiskey
traffic carried on In the Midway sec
ton. He stated for long time now
whiskey has baen carried through
the Midway neighborhood in the di-
rection of High Point, and that it
had become an insufFerable nuisance,
as well as being an open violation
of the law. This thing ought to be
stopped and We call attention to the
fact that it is not only incumbent
upon the sheriff and his deputies.
but also upon the township consta-
bles and all good citizens to see that
such violation Of the laws is stopped.
Davidson Dispatch.
This is a fair sample of what is
going on all over the State. The ex-
istence Of blockade distilleries and
the illegal peddling Of liquor is often
a matter of common knowledge,
when the authorities which should
promptly put them out Of business
appears to be the only people who
are ignorant Of the facts.
The Watts law and Ward law are
creations of the democratic party,
and the democratic sheriffs are sworn
officers to execute these laws, yet we
never hear of them interfering with
the illegal making or sale Of spurious
liquors. When an Illicit distillery is
to be raided, the revenue officers are
called. An officer who fails to per.
form his duty is just as guilty as
one who commits an unlawful act
should be- prosecuted. If all the
sheriffs and their deputies in the
State, who have neglected to enforce
the Ward law, were indicted, there
would be bigger pot of fish than
the Republicans could show when

Everybody will want to vote in
the fall elections of 1905. There
will be few in each township who
will be unable to vote because they
failed to pay their poll tax. These
men perhaps do not read the news
papers and overlook this important
matter. 1t Is the duty of those who
do read the papers and see this
notice to look out for such men in
their township. Ask your neigh
bcrs and their tenants whether or
not they have qualified themselves
to vote by paying their poll tax, and
if not, see that they do it. There is
no better way fer you doing them a
favor and to show your patriotism
and good citizenship.

"AIR CASTLE ARcHITECTs.-

Democrats Have Not Succeeded In Find
Ing a Man Large Enough for the PresI-
dercy.
Raleigh Times (democratic.)
Almost every Governor in the
South has been nominated for Presi-
dent on the Democratic ticket; al
most every governor in the South Is
too little for the honor. And that
is where Judge Parker did harm.
He has filled some Of them with an
inordinate desire to win glory and
fame; he has put them to work on
air castle construction and they are
endeavoring to lay the construction
without knowing that they lack the
ability to place the foundation. The
United States Senate is the goal
which most Of them seek. Some
crafty the ambition and others are
eternally unhappy because condi-
tions call them back to private life
and the woods. The question of
geography has nothing to do with
the nomination of a leader. There
was time when our party believed
that he had to come from New York
or the west. We took a western
man on two occasions. He was
whipped. We turned to New York
and the defeat was more crushing
It will be the same in 1908 if We
attempt to win on worthless plat
form.
However ignorant he may be or
the subject of national politics, Judge
Parker has reason to know that 6
Southern man would make the
world forget that Of all blows since
Greeley's, Parker's was not the most
fatal. Patriotism is one thing
common sense another. It would
be fine, indeed, if Southern man
should be elected President of the
United States on the Democratic
ticket, but we have suffered too mCct
in the past to make another sacrifice
now. Besides, we must catch the
bird before we eat it.

Why 1t is Easy.
Randolph Bulletin.

"It must needs be sharp Repub-
lican editor nowadays to keep up his
end Of the log. Yet they all do it,
somehow or other, mainly by prating
of Democratic Tascality. That, how
ever, doesn't excuse or hide one iota
of the mud that is clinging to the
skirts of the G.. o. P."-Davidson
Dispatch (democratic.)
1t does not require a particularly
sharp Republican editor to keep up
his end Of the log, but an honest
one. Looking through the smoked
glass of Democracy, it may be hard
for the Dispatch to see why 1t is
easy to keep up the Republican end.
One reason for Republican papers
"prating" about Democratic ras-
cality is that that party is not big
enough or honest enough to purge
its own ranks Of dishonest officials,
while On the other hand the Repub-
lican party is both big enough and
honest enough to send to the peni-
Tertiary all those who have proved
themselves unworthy of the trust
reposed in them. A Republican edi-
tor finds it easy to uphold his cause
because the principles of Pepubli-
canism are the foundation of free
government. Acting in good faith
upon the eternal principles of free
government the Republican party
has had a triumphant march for
nearly fifty years. and through its
wise policies our people are enjoying
the greatest prosperity ever known,
and our government has developed
far beyond the most sanguine hopes
of its founders. Why should Re-
publican editor find it hard to up
hold the principles Of party which
has upheld the constitution and de-
Tended it against those that would
destroy it, at home and abroad d?
Why should Republican editor
find it hard to promulgate the prin-
ciples of party that was able to
carry this country by over two mill
lion majority Of the popular vote ? |
1t is easy tc keep up the Republican |
end, because its principles are right,
and the people believe in them.
