'I IW.C.T.U.
 " Mrs. Jennie Carr pitfmdn, - Editor.

For the accommodation of some of the members of the W.C.T. U. 1t was decid ] at the meeting Saturday to change the day of meeting from the second and fourth Friday afternoons to the first and third. Let us not for get this but be on hand with Mrs. Hugh Moncrief, the Eth of Au- gust to 'ake part in the program With Miss Sula Brown as leader.
 Her subject is of vital impor- tance to every child and if strict ly observed, will in a very few years, bl ing about such a revolu- tion in temperance sentiment as Will make it impossible to tole- rate the existance of the liquor traffic. It is the department that treats of the temperance instruction in the schools, the time and place of all others to in- still permanently in the minds of the future citizens the evil effects on the system. And when these little ones les1n that they are in- furious to mind, brain, blood and in fact to the whole system, they will begin to realize that what deter .orates indiv. dual life Will have the same effect on national life. Therfore, we say All hail to the women of America who were seers enough to realize the means and mode of salvation of our nation from this arch ene- my of all that is pure and holy, and had the courage and fidelity to press the battle to the gates until now every state in the un- ion has laws compelling this law to be taught in all of it's schools. Many of the states have a penal ty attached in case of failure to it, the penalty in our State be- ing the forfeiture ol the teachers S certificate. Let us at least see to it that the taac CTS in our county are doing their duty along this line.

CAMPBELL NOMI-
 MATED GOVERNOR
Of Texas Majority is About 75,0O0-Davis Wins for
 Attorney-General

Dallas, Texas, July 26. Gov. Campbell has been renominated. Majority will hardly be 1GO, 600, but it may go as high as 75,000. The returns printable show that Attorney-General Davidson is leading in his contest with Col. Wynne, and while two. thirds of the vote is yet to hear from. it would not be safe to predict the outcome; still, these returns are indicative of a victory for the Attorney General.
 It will perhaps require the full count to determine whether the submission proposition has car ried or not. South Texas cast a tremendous vote against it and met North Texas with such ma- jorities as have all but overcome it In this contest, also, nothing less than the full returns will probably determine what the, out come has been.

Within the next few days plans for the reconstruction of the Capital Hotel, for years the leading hotel of the State and which was closed Saturday, will be announced. A company is now being formed to expend $75, 900 in the rebuilding and fit- ting it up for a modern hotel. The Promoters expect to have a building equally as fine as the Marion. Since the opening of the Marion the Capital has done very little business, even though the new hotel has turned away guests. The stockholders in the new company figure there is room for another large and mod ern hotel here and they intend to give it to the city.

OUTSIDE CAPITAL.
 MUST BE HAD
To Develop the Resoures of The State, Says Little
 Rock Financier

Little Rock, Ark, July 2e.- Outside capital is the only thing which can develop the greatest state of the nation, Arkansas. according to Lev Stor thz, a lee l. ing financier of Lityle Rock, and one of the largest owners of m h. eral lands in the state.
 "The individual can do noth- ing toward the development of the resources of the state," " cqid MT. Stortbz this morning, flor it takes millions D go into the business properly. There is no state in the Union so rich in fine minerals as Arkansas. You don't have to go to California, Cobra do, Nevada, South America or South A frica to find all kinds of minerals when they are light here at home, but the man who owns his property will never de velop it fully without he is sup piled with endless funds. 1 owned 1C)0 acres of bauXite land near Little Rock. If had un- dertaken to develop it, 1 would have had my children working to support me. l sold 1t to an Eastern syndicate and when the works are going there, $20, ,0G0 worth of bauxite IS taken out daily, and employment is gwen to 400 or 5C0 people. Though 1 received far from what the land is worth feel repaid in giving so many men work. There are hundreds of other acres of baux- ite just as fine in that section, for Arkansas has the largest of the five known beds in the world, but no person could make a success bucking the big East ern syndicates. l shipped two cars of the very best bauxite to be found there to reduction plant in Brooklyn, and received a reply that the ore was worth less. That bauxite run 62 per cent aluminium, yet l received such a reply as that, which shows I would have to erect reduction plants if I went in to operate 1t. It is the same with all other de posits in other sections of the state. the kaolin, the silica, the zinc and so on. I believe Tn the owner of mineral lands of this character holding part, but the syndicates should be let in and start the development on part, and give employment to thous- ands of people and make times better in the state. The miner al supply of this state will only be getting fully developed if workek continuously for several centuries.

AFRAID 1T WILL HURT THE PARTY.

The following from the Hickory
Times strong prohibition
advocate, is the best article we have
seen on the attitude uf the demo-
cratic politicians on the prohibition
question in this State. The Mer-
curry says:
"The Enterprise admits that its
party inaugurated the prohibition
election, but fears it will hurt the
party. The Enterprise is right. Ii
will hurt his party, because they are
showing, and have shown it that
they are not sincere in it. If they
will show anything else they have
been sincere in they will be entitled
to a gallon eff Eastern wine with the
tariff off-free trade and individual
rights thrown in for good measure.'
1t is the general opinion that the
majority Of the democratic politi
clans are not sincere in their advo
cacy of State prohibition. AS proof
they are becoming alarmed for fear
the movement will hurt the party

FOR a CHEAPER FREIGHT RATE.

The Corporation Commission OF
this State is trying to force the Nor
folk and Western Railway to give
TO North Carolina towns the same
freight rates as given to Virginia
cities. Some Of the Virginia cities are
very selfish in the matter as opposed
to the proposed rates for this State.
These towns want the cheapest rate so
they can buy the goods much cheaper
than the merchants in our State, and
then sell the same goods to Us at the
rate they now cost liz from the wes-
tern markets. The Virginia mer-
chants have a selfish interest at stake
which is not appreciated by our
merchants. However, Lynchburg,
one of the largest commercial cities
in Virginia, has refused to be a
party to the fight against the Cor
poration Commission Of this State
Many of the merchants of Lynch
burg have a large trade in this State
and it will probably be the only
city in Virginia that will have any
customers in North Carolina from
now on. If we understand the stu
alton Virginia's fight against oul
towns is selfish in the extreme; anC
if the towns in that State are boy
cotted by our merchants it will b
their own fault.
