Buying at Home.

We have written on this subject
before and copied articles without
number from our exchanges, butt is
profile subject and ever timely
The following from the Durham Sun
Is worthy OF considerations:
We said something Yesterday about
buying at home or Southern made,
goods.
When we buy at home we get the
goods and keep the money here. and
when we buy in other markets we send
the money away.
1t is to the interest of every man,
woman and child to ask for and TO get
Southern made goods. The more sold
the more work there will be for every one.
Ii you have surplus money to invest,
look around in your home town or State.
See what factory or merchant could use
more money to advantage. Place it
where you can see just what it is doing
and where you will have something to
say about it, rather than in stocks and
bonds away off, where you absolutely
have no chance to have the slightest OPP
portunity OF saying word. and where
it is hard to tell the exact facts as to
what the company is doing. You can
get better results from your investment
at home, besides by increasing business
in your section you increase it's wealth,
OF which you will get your share.

Will Do Only a Part of the Work.

At the special meeting of the
County Commissioners Monday it
was decided to do only ii part OF the
work-the actually necessary part
of improving the court house at this
time The addition in the rear will
be built, the front and repairs TO the
old part being deferred for the present.
Under all the circumstances perhaps
this was the wise and proper thing
to do and the Commissioners will be
commended for their action.
The new addition will give two fire.

al jury rooms are an absolute ne
cessity and the time has come when
something must be done to provide
these. This done the balance OF the
work as contemplated and recon-
rnended by the committee on court
house Improvement can be left until
some time in the future before reeeiv-
ing attention.
There were various reasons why it
was thought best to undertake
only IL part of the work now and
this position was acquiesced in by
those who opposed and those who
favored the original proposition.

Town Tax Rate Fixed.

The Board OF Town Commissioners
at their meeting Monday night fixed
the tax rate for the current year at
80 cents on the one hundred dollars
valuation of property, and $500 on
each poll. Last year the rate was
20 cents, and poll tax $2.1 Here
tofore the poll tax has been fixed at
three times the amount levied on
one hundred dollars valuation OF
property, but a recent decision OF the
courts declared it unconstitutional
to make the poll tax i'll excess OF
Two dollars for State and county and
two dollars for town purposes.
While there is loss OF ten cents on
each poll there is al increase in the
number of polls which will make the
amount of revenue derived from this
source about the same as last year.
There was a gain in the assessed
valuation of real and personal
property, but this was more than
offset by losses from other sources.
The falling off in round numbers
from last years taxables was $780,
600, due to a smaller amount OF sol
vent credits, cash on hand, etc,
being given in this year.
In view of all the circumstances
the financial committee found it
necessary to make the levy a little
more and recommended that it be
fixed at 80 cents, which recommends
ton was adopted by the Board.
Some changes, notifications and
additions were made in the schedule
OF privilege licenses the nature OF
which all persons who are liable for
such taxes will be made acquainted
with by the tax collector.

South Henderson Baptist Sunday
School Enjoy a Picnic Outing.

The South Henderson Baptist Sunday
school had lemonade and watermelon
picnic last Friday at SWANS grove.
About two hundred of our Sunday
school and church members met out in
the beautiful and shady grove and in a
very few minutes q large number of
swings had been erected and were busy.
and large crowds were running, jumping
rope and playing games of various
kinds. Our little tent was put up. The
wagon arrived loaded with sugar, lem
ons, tubs, dippers. ice, etc Chairs were
brought for those not well enough to en-
gage in the plays. Then it was but a
few minutes before the cry was heard,
Lemonade, lemonade, cool ice lemon
ade.' The crowd, as they desired a
drink, would pass under the tent and
help themselves and out again to their
sports. After drinking about thirty gal
Ions the entire crowd was called togeth-
er and, holding chair for rostrum,
Mr.. L. NJ. Pittman was called to occupy
the stand. He hesitated little but we
finally put him up and got speech
from him about zone inch long" Then
the Harriet Band broke loose and such
music you can imagine; it was splendid.
Let me say right here the Harriet Band
is one of the best bands OF music in the
State. Then again every one went back
to the fun. Frog in the Middle and

Republicans Not So Cocksure of
Bryan's Defeat.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record.
Before the Denver convention our
Republican friends were sure Bryan
could be licked hands down, but
now they say it is not going to be
such an ALFRED easy job as they i'm
agined, all of which shows there is
right and a wrong way to play the
game of politics. OF course if the
rank and file Of the Republican party
comes to the conclusion that Bryan
is ''easy," the campaign fund will be
small, hence it is necessary to stir up
the animals. But there is another
side to it. Our Republican friends
fully expected that about all the
papers that opposed Bryan's nomi-
nation would bolt him, along with
scores of prominent men all over the
country, but he is backed this time
far stronger than ever before, while
the platform is so conservative and
so strong that our friends are really
concerned-just a little bit scared,
with a prospect OF getting worse.

Who dominates Our Office Holders?

Communicated.
We think that we do. They know
that they do.
No movement now afOot is more i'm
portant or more. timely than the one
against our present mode of nominating
men for State and Federal Offices For
than the present mode in which the aspi-
rant virtually dominates himself, nothing
could be less wise or more undemOcratic.
AS it is, any man with ambition. and
money, or rather with money and ambi-
ton, can, if he is shrewd and energetic,
stand good chance of foisting himself
on the people in almost any Office that
he may cOvet. All that is needed is that
he start boom; that he fill the State
with his workers and the papers with
his praises and his pictures.
True merit is always modest. 1t is
often poor The modest man. and it
seems to me the sensible man, would
much prefer to tread the paths of pri-
vate life than to butt into the present
scrimmage first to get nominated and
then to get elected The poor man has
no choice in the matter. His ability and
his merit may be ever so great, but it
will avail littles against the, trumpet
tones in which his rivals money will
speak.
Let the office seek the man. If the
man seeks the Office let that tend to dis
qualify him. Nor is that as Utopian as
it might seem. Education is rapidly
spreading among our people. Rural
free deliveries and other carriers must
add greatly to the circulation of papers
and periodicals and the general diffusion
of political knowledge. Less and less
does the voter need to have the men eli
gible for Offices chosen for him. Better
and better is he qualified to discharge
for himself this highest duty OF free
man.
The plan to hold all the primaries in
the State on the same day is good one
But more important still, the manhood
| of the people should be appealed to to use
their liberty and intelligence as freemen
to select their own public servants in.
stead of allowing them to select them
selves.
The nearer that we can approach
to this ideal condition the nearer. Of
course, shall we approach truly repre-
sentative form of government; the nearer
shall we achieve the highest ends Of
democracy.
will add that no reproach Justly per
tains to the gentlemen who have sc
