AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Last Christmas the Roney Boys,
who sing at the Normal next Wednes.
day night, were at the White House
by invitation Of President Roosevelt.
After refreshments there was a
crash Of music from the famous Ma.

Supreme Court, Senators, Representa-.

for the adoption of s,n amendment to
the Constitution. The national incor.
poration of business enterprises is
sought in order to avoid State courts
and State regulations. but in view of
the growing sentiment against monop.

courts, for 1t is not likely that ma
jortty OF Congress can be brought to
favor amy enlargement of the power

by the Federal government would not

Letter to Walker Smith.


Dear Sir: If you should bake bread
that people like better than any other,
and at less cost by the day, you'd have
a pretty-good business. wouldn't you?
We have just such a business as that
in paint; a gallon goes further than any
other gallon of paintin the country
that's bread at less cost by the day; but
the difference isn't so small as it is in
bread. And q job years longer-that's
bread at less cost by the year. People
hate to paint; it costs money to paint;
and they hate the fuss. They like our
bread by the year.
1fyour bread Is better than anybody
else's, and costs less too, you've got a
good trade; for people do like good
bread; and people like money. 1t doesn't
take long to find-out; give 'em time.
But you can't bake better-than-any-
body-else's bread for half the usual
price for q breakfast, can you?
DeYoe is just such a paint as that.
The price by the gallon or loaf is no mat
ter. Count by the day week month
year lifetime. Devoe is the bread. We
hope yours is as good.
Yours truly,
"a f. w. DEvoE & Go.

In the approaching conflicts between
the various aspirants for places on the
democratic state ticket, the country
newspapers r pretty apt to remember
those who sought to deprive them of the
right of contract during the session of
the recent Legislature. They should
also reciprocate the kindness Of the
splendid men who stood by them Loyalty
to the end, thereby making possible the
continuance of the present satisfactory

no patience with the individual who

shaping the editorial policies of honest
newspapers. Let the editors stand by

THE GOVERNORS TIMELY ADJ
VICE

RAILWAY some Glm0ly huNICo a. SAS AoSO
hearing In New York recently, but it
has been rejected and the investigation
goes merrily on. The Governors sug-
gestions to counsel representing the
railroad were, in effect. rs follows:
FIRST. that the taking of testimony DO
abandoned until the two suits now on
appeal are finally determined by the
supreme court of the United States, in
order 20 save the immense costs incl
dent to the continuance of the case be-
fore the Master, inasmuch rs only a
short time could elapse before the al
fair would reach that court. Second,
that the railroads withdraw their suits
and give the new rate law q fair trial.
He suggested further. that if the fact
should develop that the roads were
operating at q loss, the people of North
Carolina would redress any wrong i'm
posed upon said roads when the General
Assembly meets next year.
It IL announced that the two PROPOSE
lions submitted by the Governor have
been rejected and the roads are still in
sistinG upon continuing the, fight, not

lay has Oent broadcast over the south II
which he says no is "endeaYoring, In
every proper way. TO bring about the
most cordial relations between the rail-
way and the people along its lines"
Did Mr.. Finlay mean what he saidP If
so, why should the manifestly .
able propositions of Governor Glenn
have bsen reiectedr The Of North
Carolina are noted for their
tism, justice and fair dealing and Mr..
Finlay need to have no fears of d~estruc-
ton to the property of his road after

treating the people IS suspects. He
should be willing to give them credit
for being honest and manifest a desire
to deal with them in n conciliatory man
ner, before writing lengthy epistles

Mr.. CRAWFORD AND GOOD
ROADS

ROADS
Congressman Crawford has started
out along the right line and his efforts
in the interest Of rural road building,
which will directly benefit farmer
friends, are highly commendable, The
letters of Mr.. Crawford and Acting DE-
rector Pennypacker, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington, In
the last issue of this paper act forth
fully the purposes of the proposition to
conduct good road institutes through
ont this mountain district and every
citizen, regardless of party affiliations
should enter into the spirit of the move
ment with q full determination to make
it of lasting benefit to this section.
There is great need for improved pub
lie highways and our able and popular
congressman 10 determined that his
constituents shall not be left in the
lurch in any matter OF merit during
these strenuous times of progress and
development.
It is hoped that the citizens Of Hen
derson county win turn out enmasse on
September %, the date designated for .
mass meeting of those interested, at the
court house. Although Acting Director
Pennypack0r suggests that his depart
ment may be unable to furnish any
road building machinery before some
time next winter, it will be well for the
people to cooperate from the beginning
of the movement, and oil are urged to
attend the meetings soon TO be held in
each county OF the district, catch the
enthusiasm for improved highways and
keep in touch with every detail rs the
work progresses. The proper thing win
be 10 "get right down to business" in
dead earnest. Hot air "butters no pars-
nips'' and MIR. Crawford is going right
down to the root Of the matter. But he
cannot succeed in bringing about the
conditions desired without the CO.
operation of the people. There in no
greater agency for the development OF
a country than good roads and no sec
tion in the south needs them more than
Western North Carolina.
The Henderson County Good Roads
Association seems to have gone out OF
business and should be revived. Here
is an opportunity Il attract outside aid
In the construction Of better roads and
there should be no want Of interest man
ifested by the people themselves. Ev-
cry farmer In the county ought to be-
come an active member Of the Good
Roads Association. A small number
have been endeavorinR for years to main
tain an organization of this kind, but
Without ~appreciable uccess It now
behooYes, becomes the duty, in faCt-of
every citizen Of the county to unite in
promoting the cauSe espOused by Con-
gresham Crawford In the praiseWorthv
effort to secure something of inOstima-
Bile value for the people of his district.
It is . distinct pleasure 10 note that Mr..
Crawford has succeeded in exacting as
surances from the Agricultural De
partment in n matter which ultimately
mean so much for the public, and
every one will applaud the valuable SER
vice he has thus rendered his people.
