In the fight made by those favoring
a two-cSnC passenger rate, it has
been insisted, that the railroads
would be benefited instead of being
injured and the following figures
given by the News-Leader, show
that they have been correct in their
Judgment in the matter:
$50 railways in North Carolina are
not murdered by the two-cent pas
senger rate, after all. Reports from
ticket agents Of the Southern in that
STATE show that last month 1915
tickets for points in the State were
sold against 1886 for August, 1906.
The amount of money received was
S3,272.25 against S2,6S0.55 in 1906.
The increase in passengers was 2,149,
about ninety per cent and the in
crease in cash received was S591.7O,
or oyer twenty-five per cent. This is
not confiscatory or ruinous. We
never have been able to understand
why it should cost more to haul a
hundred passengers than fifty on the
same train, over the same track and
with the same rolling stock and crew.
1t looks to us as if instead of being
destroyed the Southern railway i;
about 5000 ahead Oh the month ovel
last year"
The result, however, will not be
satisfactory to the railroad people
In spite of the figures, of course, they
will continue to complain and prefer
to make themselves disagreeable anC
antagonize those they serve, as they
have always done. They always
complain when they are made to d.
something they do not want to do.

Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan has
promised to be present and to speak
at the Virginia State Fair on the l4th
of October and upon the subject, 1.-The
Average Man," which the most OF
us are. The day has been designated
as Bryan day by the executive COM
mittee of the fair. and the enthusiasm
With which he will be received by the
rank and file of the democracy of the
state, who will be present on The day
and of those who will send greetings,
will leave no one in doubt, we believe,
that it has been fifty named. He will
get a welcome from the Virginia
Democrats not only on that day but
can count on their support, doubtless,
for the nomination for the presidency
if he desires to be the standard bear
err of his party again, i'll spite of the
opposition of the few, who pose as
democrats and for the most part vote
the republican ticket, if they are not
permitted to make the platform and
name the candidate i'll accord with
republican ideas. Many of them
even would not support the Demo-
cratic nominee, if a favored son OF
Virginia with whom they are all try
ing to sidetrack and defeat Mr.. Bryan,
WAS the nominee of the party. 1t is
certain. though, that all of the demo-
Gratis in Virginia, few in the cities
and in some of the counties excepted,
will not heed the advice but insist
upon Mr.. Bryan as their choice, as
predicted by the Richmond Evening
Journal and for the reason submitted
in the following extract from arecent
editorial in that paper:
"From the entire State of Virginia
and from all sections Of the country
comes the crystalling consensus OF
opinion that the great Nebraskan Is
to lead our embattled hosts. Never
is a man mentioned for the august Of
flee whose availability will stand
moments scrutiny, and it is an assrr
ed fact that no more mild hammered
namby-pamby mediocrity will be toll
Grated. We desire something pro
nounced, aggressive, progressive; VIZ
wish nerve, magnetism, fearlessness
a thorough knowledge Of the need
and aspirations of the masses ant
hearty sympathy with advanced idea
of modern craftsmanship. All thi
we have in Mr.. Bryan. Coupled witt
an acute perception of the things pos
sible and within the scope of practl
cal politics, 10 possesses a previslo
of contingencies unlocked for by tn
shallow dabbler in public affairs, an
will be ready with the needed RENE
dies. Mr.. Bryan is the apostle an
forerunner of the doctrines, some
which, with more OF less timidity, Nj
Roosevelt is endeavoring to put int
practice. Mr. Bryan holds the schoo
in the Kindergarten branch, of whic
his competitor is taking his go-cal
steps.
We may as we'll adjust ourselves
the Nebraskan's selection as leade
for thus it is"

Politicians and others are discuss
ing the probability of former Gov
ernor Montague entering the cam
paign against Congressman Lamb for
The nomination from the Richmond
district. When a reporter asked Mr..
Montague about it he said he had
been out of the city for three weeks
and that he was not in close touch
with politics. He would not deny
that he was to be a candidate, and
he did not say that he would be, but
the belief is that he will enter the
contest.

Don't Blame theGook

If your bread and pastry is the
soggy, indigestible misery-making
kind. It's dollars to doughnuts
that the FLOUR is guilty of the
offense.
Our flour makes light, white, de-
licious bread and pastry always.
"Poor Luck" is unknown, where
it rules the cooking. 1t insures
good results because it is uniform
in quality-Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and every day in the
week the BEST.
Candidly, can you afford to go on
using hap-hazard flour when our
mill-to-consumer system puts our
superior product in your home at
less expense?
We cut out the retailers profits.
We sell you flour direct at whole
sale prices. We will save you all
those dollars that the retail dealer
has previously pocketed.
TRY our method. You'll never go
back to the old way. Write us for
prices.
