Make Allowance.
H.arit7 and Children.

We may save ourselves and
others worlds of trouble this year
if we will determine in the be
ginning, ,and al through the year,
to make allowance f0r those we
think have done us wrong. Peo-
pie, as d rule, are not mean, and
dono5 want to hurt their fellows;
but they have a different view
point from Us, and they cannot
see our side. The way to show
it to them and win them to US is
not to give blow for blow, but
make allowance, and offer them
smile instead Of froWn. It is
not always nor usually sign Of
courage to resent an affront. The
0ravest man among US is he who
! can overcome himself-not some
body else. The temporary graf
iication an explosion affords is
short lived and leaves one weak

0dd North Carolina Facts COEa-
ditiOns in East and West Con
trasfed.


Charlotte Aronicle.
Some odd conditions exist in
North Carolina. For instance,
the eastern part, which has heavy
negro population, is solidly dem
ocratic. The larger the negro pop
ulation Of county the larger its
democratic majority. The western
part, where there is no negro pop.
ulation at all, to speak offs where
republicanism fourishes. In
some of the western counties, nc
tably Mitchell and Watauga, ~
negro is allowed to locate. He
has the privilege Of the public
roads, but he must move on-hc
must not stop. These counties
are settled by the most uncom
promising republicans ever born
Another thing-theTe is no
legalized liquor traffic in the
western counties and less moon
shining than in the eastern coun,
ties. It would be supposed that
the mountain coves and the ira
ditional mountain Businesses
| would afford the ideal condition
for moonshining, and they do, but
| illicit liquor business has been
very nearly weededout. It droops
there while it tlourishes in the
east. The nearest saloons to the
west are in Salisbury, Winston
and Reidsville. These towns are
classed as western, but properly
speaking, they are central, being
very nearly on line dividing the
east from the vest. With these
three exceptions the saloon in
this state is uukaown outside Of
the east, and the dispensaries
are also confined to that section
For a long time the west bore
the unfair and un,democratic
burden Of county government for
the east, and the east has never
even said, "thankee." Its politi'
clans try to rule the state and in
a measure theydo rule it. Tie
east always has it's candidates
