Three Governors, but Not i'm Dooley

Style.
 On the subject of the recent con- ference of the Governors of North Car olina, Georgia and Alabama, the Ma con Telegraph printed a remarkable communication, part of which follows: |. The mS.eeting me that lately occurred of three southern States to inaugurate line of policy touching the railroad question. presents some aspects both Extraordinary and alarming. According to the genius of our government each sovereign state was intended to act in it's own discretion, irrespective of the acts or conduct of any other state. This is the fundamental idea of Fed states can unite together to take action concerning a question involving the constitution of the republic, and plan is entered into by them for concert of action touching the same, the spirit of the constitution Is apparently vto- lated. .5 public question affecting the .consit- tuition of the nation. and tending to nulllfy It., is not only the first step toward rebellion, but goes far In the direction of inculcating a spirit of in- subordination among the citizens of

PROPHETS or DISASTER.

- Hf Some days ago the weather bureau predicted terrible storm at Ptttsburg and vicinity. but no storm came to justify the prophecy. whether the storm failed to materiaiise in the at mosphere. or whether 1t was shuntsd of by adverse currents we cannot say. but 1t was a complete failure. This. leads The rittsburg Sun tQ say.
 whether st' it Is % Better to kSow nothins as an. a it as9nt sss us whss s s.s ss 9ssppss vance information about things some of which don't happen, or which rarely The The W worst st strains most peopie TO through. so human experienced pretty seneSally goes to show. are those to to 5hss ss sFi' sos Ssayy storm Is coming which doesn't at all or to be caught unawares by an un- .SS S2s os sS Put s s.ssss sss se to be scared to deaths On your in- dividual answer to this, scmewhat bull of mind. length of days and general usefulness f<
 The remarks of The Sun remind us that we have often thought of the same thing. We do not argue that the weather bureau should cease to exist, or that 1t should cease to send out storm signals and warnings. It is fre- quently the case that these warnings are justified and that the sending them out. especially to all shipping ports. is productive of much good. Nor should the bureau be discredited because of the failure of some of it's predictions. A warning sent out this evening to the effect that severe storm will rage over the gulf tomorrow IS rounded on the indications that prevail this even ing, and which warrant sending out the signais, but sudden change in temperature. an adverse current or something else which could not be foreseen, either dissipates the storm or entirely changes it's direction.
 Tn a case of this nature some extra trouble and expense may have been encountered which could have been saved if no warming had been sent out, but is it not better to nave this at times than that q disastrous storm should come unheralded? Even if some persons should be very badly frightened over a danger that fails to come they should not be severe on tie weather ofiicials who can only judge from conditions as they exist and make from those conditions such deductions as science and experience have taught them.
 But leaving the weather officials and their occasional errors out of the dis cussion there are prophets or evfr' who really do harm by continually pre- dieting evils and disasters to come and demoralize and destroy humanity. There are some of this kind who ap- parentIy never think of anything good that may come but are always giving warning of danger and destruction ahead. They not only alarm their neigh bors and associates but get into the newspapers and if some timid peo- pie are not actually scared to death they are made to experience, much tre' pidation and mental and bodily suf- fering. Whether the predicted evil comes or not those who believe 1t will suffer just the same in anticipation. Truly do those who always predict dam ger do mulch harm.

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER P. 1907.
We are surprised that an Alabama ie~spaper should know nothing of so great man as Judge George Gray, of Delaware. The Piedmont Journal says:


 One of the chief errors of the Dem4 artMy M is otss sss iss ssk coansfy Of sn not known out of their own State. hard iy out of their county are mentioned patch from Wilmington, Del. nafnes Democratlc nomination for President say Piedmont for instance, hold a con- ference and with the big blade of 2 na smear. resolutions of a similar char. some local mil biiiy."
 when the Democrats nominated James K. Polk for President in 1894. the whigs sneeringly asked Who is PoikT" He had for years been an able member of Congress and Speaker of the House of Representatives. When Franklin Pierce was nominated in 1852 . the same ignorance about him was af- fected by the Whigs. Yet he had ac- ceptabIy served in the United States Senate and had been gallant soldier in the Mexican war. Judge Gray by almost common consent is looked upon as one of the ablest men in the Union. He served many years in the United States Senate and his speeches in de- fense of the Constitution and against force bills and high tariff. will rank with any ever made in that great body He is now one of the ablest men on the United States court bench. Only a few years aeo because of his ability, Manufactures and conservatism. he was made the head of the great arbi- traitor board which settled the disputes between the coal miners and coal mine owners and his decisions gave universal satisfaction. It would be a blessed thing for the United States if such a man as George Gray could be nominated and elected President.

 There will be no central bank. The proposition to have one is simply harmless plaything wherewith Sena- tor Hansbrough Is amusing his brief moment of publicity. Before the heavy weights of a Congress arrive in town the lightweights usually arrive with swarns of interesting bills, which they hand out to reporters. Senatop Hansbrough was unfortunate in not ar- irving soon enough. One of the heavy weights was already in town--Speaker Cannon--and another arrived today. John DalzeI. Dalzsll said today;

One of the prettiest weddings of the
season took place at Vernon Methodist
Episcopal church, at White Hall, on
Thanksgiving Day, at 1890 o'clock,
when Miss Bessie Parrish, only daughter
ofMr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Parrish, was
married to Mr.. Willard Allan Black, of
White Hail.
The church was beautifully decorated
with evergreens and was filled with the
relatives and friends of the bride and
groom. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. w. w. Davis, of Mountain Lake
Park, assisted by Rev. R. S. Barnes,
pastor of the church.
The bride entered the church with her
father, by whom she was given in mar
riage. She wore handsome gown of
white satin, trimmed with princess lace.
Her tulle veil was caught with orange
blossoms and she carried Bride roses.
Miss Anna Norris, of White Hall, was
maid of honor. Her gown was of pale
blue marquisette over blue taffeta and
was trimmed with white chiffon and
gold applique. She carried white chry-
santhemums tied with white satin ribbon.
Miss Alice Black, sister of the groom,
was bridesmaid and wore gown ofpale
blue satin striped chiffon cloth trimmed
with white and gold filet lace. She
carried yellow chrysanthemums tied
| with white satin ribbon. The ushers
