Somehow thee pictures always
come TO county boys or girls when
they leave the open farm for the
crowded city:
I..st night I fell 10 dreaming
or the farmhouse 'mong the tes~'
And the river onward winding,
Singing to the summer hrseEe'
From the sheltered, vine-wreashe1
doorway
lean see the distant hills,
And the climbing rosebush clinging
To the p@rlor window silis.
/ see the orchard pink with oiossotiS'
And the ripe fruit all aglow.
And the white sheep In the PASTURE
As the pictures come aud 20.
IT'S q pleasure In the twilight
To dream Of days Of yore,
And the farmhouse by the river,
Where the vines climb DER the
door.
| long sometimes, when dreaming
To turn backward DER the way,
And once more beside the river
Spend one merry, gladstone day

THERE ARE CANDIDATES GALORE.
Many "Patriotic" Democrats Willing
to Serve Their State.

Many "Patriotic" Democrats Willing
to Serve Their State.
1t is something over a year before
the democratic State Convention
will be held, but there are already a
half dozen candidates in the field for
the governors job, and every demo.
crat in the State, both big and small,
who have done any work for the
party are looking for State Office.
But they can't be blamed for that
for it has been promised to them by
the machine if they would support
the ticket. Of course the majority,
or possibly all the candidates will
get fooled.
There are many candidates for the
State offices, but the main plum is
the governors job.
Mr.. w. w. Kitchin has been in
the race year already. Lock Craige,
OF Asheville, is busy sending out
letters asking for support, and of

the honor as he came down East and
made one or two redshirt speeches
in 1900. Mr.. Fred Woodland, of
Wilson, is said to be in the race. He
is from the home of Mr.. Josephus
Daniels and Of course he expects
Josephus' support. John d. Bel
lamy, of Wilmington, is sure he
should have the nomination for gov
ernor next year, as he was in Will
mington when the negroes were
shot down in 1898. The friends of
Mr.. r. A. Doughton, of Alleghaney,
assert that he will be in the race.
Mr.. Frank D. Winston, of BERTHE,
has had his eye on the job for three
years. We don't know on what
grounds Winston bases his right to
the job, unless on the ground that
he is deserter from the Republican
camp and should be rewarded.
There will doubtless be many others
in the race before the democratic
Convention meets next summer, for
surely there are others who have
done something to save the party.

Young Girl Found Drunk and Asleep
in Field.
Fayetteville Observer.
Mary Bass, a young white girl IS
years of age, who says she is an or
phan from Sampson County, is now
in Cumberland Jail, and what to do
do with her is a problem Sheriff
Watson and Deputy Sheriff Pate are
trying to solve.
Yesterday Sheriff Watson learned
that q young white girl was misbe-
having herself on the Wilmington
road, and sent Deputy Sheriff to in
vestigate. He found a young girl
with but few stitches of clothes OF,
her back, fast asleep in a corner of
BeviIl & Vanstory's field, having
fallen there in drunken stupor.
The girl has evidently abandoned
herself to every decency of life, and
now while she is young is the time
to take her in hand and try to re-
form her.
Surely tits a great work for charity.

President Roosevelt Is Great Man,
and is Both Patriotic and Sincere.
Monroe Enquirer (Democratic.)
In a recent speech Mr.. Bryan said
Roosevelt Is too democratic to
suit the corporations too little
democratic to suit the democrats.
Every time he suggests the income
tax, trust restrictions or railroad
legislation he antagonizes the cor
porations, while on the other hand
what has he done? He has been
president five years; no trust mag
nate rest In prison cells. The presi-
dent has done enough on railroad
Regulation to make the railroads
mad without doing much for the
people. He compromised on a law
to get votes of Republicans who vo-
ted against the La Toilette amend
ments. La Toilette was the only
Republican that stood for the peO~
pie, but no one hears of Republicans
taking him for president. He is a
better reformer than the president.
Mr.. Taft is reputed to be the presi-
dents choice for president, but you
may search his record from begin
ming to end in vain for a word or
act of reform"
1t really does uot become Mr..
Bryan to be saying such as this. 1t
comes too near to common scolding.
It hurts him aud really hurts the
public. We do not pretend to I'M
derstand Mr.. Roosevelt but if he is
not good citizen, patriotic man
and creditable American, we have
no hope of ever seeing one. What
effect Mr.. BryaD's slings have is a
tendency to create in the minds of
his own ardent followers disre-
spect of Mr.. Roosevelt and to foster
belief that he is an unworthy man.
The disposition to believe this of
our opponent is all too prevalent,
aud the fostering of such disposition
by 80 noticeable a man as Mr.. Bryan,
and directing it against man like
Mr.. Roosevelt, is lowering to the
tone of good citizenship. A man
ought to be able to get along IN this
cngnt5yvpp v ss29me . other hypothesis
or fool.
Does Mr.. Bryan suppose, had he
himself been president, that any
number of "trust magnates" would
have been in prison cells? If he
does he is chasing an absurdity. We
dare say that Mr.. Roosevelt is doing
as much toward checking the evils
that Mr.. Bryan complains of as Mr..
Bryan himself could do at present.
He has put them on the defensive,
he has energized public sentiment in
that direction more than Mr.. Bryan
did in his two campaigns. This will
be disputed, of course, but We be-
lieve it demonstrable. Mr.. Bryan
would much better be giving his
encouragement, or saying nothing,
instead of following this dog-in.the-
manger attitude.
Nothing has hurt Mr.. Tillman so
much as his absurd defense of the
negro soldiers who shot up the town
of Brownsville, thereby reversing
his whole general attitude in order
to oppose the president. If Mr..
Bryan is in earnest about the trust
evil, he ought to be glad to see Mr..
Roosevelt hit a blow, whether a
knockout one or not. For our part,
we are sincere enough in the matter
to prefer Mr.. Roosevelt and his OPP
position to them, to a democrat of
the German type. 1t is absurd to
say that Mr.. Roosevelt is not a great
man as we reckon human greatness,
and it is shortsighted and harmful
to say that he is not patriotic and
sincere man.

The Greenville Reflector demo

The Greenville Reflector demo
cratic) makes the following observa-
ton:
"It is remarkable that in these
times of boasted prosperity there
are more embellishments and defal-
cations by those occupying positions
of trust than occurred when the
country was less prosperous"
Under Cleveland's rule the coun-
try was so poor there was nothing
to steal. You know there is GER
tain class Of people that can't stand
prosperity. That may account for
the apparent change in disposition of
this certain class of people.

In speaking of which element in
the democratic party will be in con-
troll at the next Democratic State
Convention, the News and Observer
says: "The element that stands for
progress and keeping party pledges
will win"
That's an element in the demo-
cratic party that we have never
beard of before. If there is such an
element in the democratic party they
have never been in control in this
State.
