The Bradley Trial.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
The defense has closed in the now
famous Bradley trial. Monday alien
lists will be introduced, and we will
have over again the story OF hypo-
thetical questioning, and vague ans
wers, which may or may not be trans
lated so as to spell insanity. The
Bradley case has almost reached the
Thaw-White standard OF publicinter-
est. Next week the fate of the little
woman, who, in a moment of desper-
alton, perhaps, or, merited oblivion,
fired the fatal shot that ended the
man s life with whom she had livedin
shame for years. Those who have
followed the testimony of the week
are inclined to believe that Mrs. Brad
ley was beguiled away with the soft
promises of a moral degenerate,
and then mistreated. Many say she
should be cleared. But, aside from
her claims for death or life, there is a
side to this miserable play of shame
and crime, which is tender and which
has led many to sympathize with the
star actor in the tragedy. Mrs. Brad
ley's story is a sad one. First, fat
tered by the attentions of one of
Utah's most favored sons, she began
to admire him; admiration grew into
ELECTION, and ELECTION kindled into a
burning passion of love-blind, jeal-
Gus, mad love- Under the spell she
surrendered all in life that woman
holds dear to the man who said he
would make her his wife.
And the old, old story begins; the
story of mans inhumanity to wo-
man. Having gained the love he
swore he was willing to sacrifice
friends, station, all for, Brown
abused it, and later tired of it. The
flower whose perfume once intoxi-
Gated his soul, lost it's fragrance. It's
beauty paled. He was tired of it and
sought to trample it under his feet.
The tragic end then came, for an
overweight soul had sufferd one too
many thrusts. There is lot ofpathos
in the finalru of this woman through
IL passion she could not govern. One
can but pity her, whatever her sin
may have been

Political Humbuggery.

And some editors are smearing.a
liberal quantity of gravy over the

their eagerness to extend fattering

to intimate that the lamented Vance

kind OF sequel to temperance. Ex-

Uncle Remus's Magazine for De-
cember.

The advent OF the December magazines
seems to bring the holiday season sud-
denly near because OF the various ''Christ-
mas subjects, both in fact and fiction,
with which these current periodicals are
filed.
Uncle Remus's Magazine for Deem
Der has several distinctly Christmas fea-
lures, beginning with a most appropriate
editorial by Joel Chandler Harris, which
he calls Santa Claus and the Fairies"
and in which he Celebrates the need of a
strong belief in the Christmas Saint, as
well as in other creatures of the imagi
nation
The same writer contributes one of his
entertaining verses, in which "Uncle Re.
mus Addresses Brother Wind" and urges
"Brer Wind" to "save his strenk fer sum-
mer," SO that he may. spare the Christ
mas season.
Other features OF Christmas significance
are "The Bells of Christmas-Tide," an
appropriate poem by William Hamilton
Hayne;; 1.-The Wishing Well" q Christmas
story by Reina Melcher, and illustrated
by Alice Beach Winter; "The Volunteers
of America and Their Christmas" being
an account OF the Christmas work done
by these organized philanthropists and
related byS. 7. Dalsheimer. In addition
to these Christmas articles, there is much
holiday comment in THE Open House."

The Nativity Of Virginia Dare.
Norfolk Firginian-P lot.

NofiOik flrElnlan- fliot.
Now the statement is made that Vir-
ginia Dare, the first white child born in
North America, was born in Virginia
and not in North Carolina, which sug-
gests that had she exercised choice South
Carolina would have been her native
state.-Charleston News and Courier.
Virginia Dare was born OH soil
which is indisputably now within the
confines of North Carolina But at
the time of her birth, and for many
long years afterwards, all that sec
ton was part of Virginia. Indeed
the first permanent settlement was
made and maintained by migrants
from Tidewater Virginia and was
governed by the authorities of the old
er colony. This is not "a statement. "
but cold, irrefragible history; and it
is one among many good reasons
why Virginians, should and do regard
the Old North State and her people
with peculiar pride and affection.

The President and the South.

Don Marquis in ''Uncle Remus's Magazine y
-Four years ago President Roosevelt
was not very popular man in the
South;but today there are few South
erners more popular in this part of
the word than is this New Yorker.
Little things show. George Broad
hurst's play, "The man of the Hour, ="
has been touring the South, and it
will be remembered that there is one
linein that play which lauds the Presi-
dents corporation policies. In sew
eral Southern cities the audiences
broke out into spontaneous three
minute demonstration at the delivery
OF that line; demonstration of q sort
usually reserved until the band plays
"Dixie." And probably ninety per
cent. OF those who applauded would
get nettled at you if you called them
anything but Democrats. 1t looks
as if John Temple Graves (who used
to be a prohibitionist, but has now
become Hearst Independent Leag-
uer) was right when he said that the
| Southern people admired Mr.. Roose-
welt becaus they thought hewas the
biggest Democrat in the country.

which have ever been made in the d.

crystalizing in demands which will be
generally brought before the nation

and vitalize the Mississippi Valley
projects is being followed by the
Philadelphia conference, which is to
include excursions over parts OF the
proposed route along the coast, ex-
tending from Boston to Beaufort,
N. c. The undertaking is OF grand
proportions, yet many will be sur
prised to learn how few gaps are to be
filled in and how comparatively
small an investment will be required
to permit the passage of small mer-
chant vessels and gunboats by this
inside waterway.

The Farmer. and the Banks.
Raleigh Progressive Farmer.

Ii is no new thing to the Progress
siVe Farmer TO urge it's readers to
have a bank account if possible; that
is, to keep in the bank what money
they have that is not neeeled for inn
mediate use. Right now, seems to
US that a renewal of this advice can
not be ont of place. At a time when
money is tight, holding it out of cir
culation will not help but will aggra-
vate the evil We do not urge that
the farmers sell their clifton; bnt the
point we make is, that when they do
sell it the money received should not
be carried home and locked up, but
should be left in the bank where it
can help to keep up circulation and
thus maintain better prices for the
next cotton they sell. As they sell
their cotton and corn and other sur
plus crops and receive money for
them, the farmers can do a great
work in easing the money market
and thus aid in promoting better
prices for farm products-by simply
turning their surplus dollars back into
the bank again until they are need
ed for actual use.
These points were recently elabo-
rated in an editorial in the Charleston
News and Courier to which our atten-
ton is called by Mr.. J. W. Denmark,
Chairman OF the Executive Commit
tee of the North Carolina Farmers
Alliance. He endorses the sugges-
tions as important and timely, and
believes that the farmers, especially
at the present time, could help them
selves as well as others by needing
and acting upon these wise sugges-
tons.
