The Bees Proved Savage.

A. W. Van Doren, the success
full bee-keeper, was terribly stung
last Wednesday. He was up in a
tree sixty feet from the ground,
where he was hiving a swarm of
bees, and after cutting the limb
where the bees were, the limb fell
to the ground and the bees being
shaken out of their home arose to
the top and covered MI. Van Do
rem, singing him on the face, head
and arms in a hundred places.
Only the grit and GOODNESS of Mr..
Van Doren saved him from an aw-
full death, and it was feared that
he would surely fall to the ground
and be killed. But he came safe
ly down the tree while still cover
ed with bees and was at once taken
to the home of Prof. Johnston,
where he received immediate treat
ment.- Statesville Mascot.

A HOT CAMPAIGN,
South Carolina is the Throes Of a Remark
able Jam-fest.

The gubernatorial race has
warmed up to the prayer stage.
Gubernatorial Candidate Blease
has attacked several preachers vi
ciously in his speeches recently,
particularly the leaders of the an
ti.saloon league, and he has criti
cized the action of the preachers
of his home town in coming out
IN a signed card denying that they
endorsed his candidacy. Another
Indictment to prayer is the prac-
tically solid condemnation Of
Blease on moral grounds of the
daily and weeklypress of the State.
Those opposed to Rlease have GER
tainly succeeded in raising the
moral issue against him, so the
Church people in different sections
of the State have got together to
get out sermons and special pray
ers. The story comes from Lex
ington from a reliable source that
the preachers there have agreed
upon a systematic programme, one
set of ministers preaching anti
Blease sermons one Sunday and
another set following this the sue
ceedlng Sunday with pro-Ansel
sermons. 49, Columbia special to

SCHOOLS AND POLITICS.
DR.. Bradshaw Utters Some Wise Sentiments
Along This Line.

In his speech opening the Gull
ford county Republican conven-
ton MondayG. S. Bradshaw made
a strong plea in favor of the prop
osition of eliminating the cause OF
education from politics, saying
that it is not a political question
and the public schools should not
be hampered and hindered by be-
ing subject to the fortunes of par-
tisan politics. He let it be IN
derstood that in his opinion, the
Republican State convention
could not do a wiser thing than
to take such action as will show
the people of North Carolina that
the education of the children OF
the State is of more Importance
than the ambition of any one man
or the temporary success of any
party. This was the keynote Of
Mr.. Bradshaw's speech, and it is
said that his position is that of a
great many influential Repuhli-
cans.
It is altogether probable that
the Charlotte convention, in re-
spouse to this sentiment, will
make no nomination for the office
of State Superintendent of Public
Instruction. The convention may
even 60 further and endorse Super
intendent Joyner. One of the lead
ing Republicans in North Carolina
said to The Observer correspon-
dent today:
"Mr. Joyner is conducting his
office most successfully and in a
matter entirely satisfactory to the
people, and since all of US are in
terested in the continued advance
ment of our public schools, I see
no reason why he should be inter-
fered with. Really there is no
reason why anyone should desire a
change to be made in this Office at
this time"

The Real Rulers.

The real rulers of America are
it's intellectual and moral leaders /:
the teachers, the college profess
sors. the writers of books. the
editors, the preachers; above all,
the fathers and mothers. They
are shaping the future industries,
framing the future policies, de-
t%ermining the future destinies Of
this Nation. The real rulership
is not IN legislative halls, nor in
railway offices, nor IN mercantile
centers, nor in labor lodge-rooms.
It is the church, the school-room,
and the nursery. The kings of
America are not those that appear
to exercise authority. They are
those that quietly and efficiently
serve. The pen is the scepter.
The pulpit is the throne. The
mother is the queen.-Rev. Ly.

This Is UnVarnished Truth.

While we do not wish to indulge
in odious comparisons, we would
call attention to the fact that
wherever business reverses have
been experienced III local circles,
it has generally been found that
the unfortunate ones had either
stopped advertising in the papers
at a time they needed it, or had
not advertised at all. On the other
baud, the merchants who persist.
ed in the use of printers ink at a
time when it looked as if the bot.
tom would drop out of everything,
weathered q storm successfully.
This experience, howover, is not
peculiar to Asheville, for it is a
matter Of record in all parts of
the country that the persistent
advertiser is the last to go to the
wall. if indeed he ever goes at all.

from that committee not later

Hoping that this further delay

Going Back to the Farm.

About twenty years Or go ago,
and for a number of years follow
ing, there was a marked exodus of
young men and boys from the
country to the city. The rural
youth found there were many
things he could turn his hand to
in the city that meant to him
ready money. So the farm was
deserted for metropolitan allure
ments. The reaction has set in
and now there is a generous re-
turn to bucolic life. The man
who has spent a score or more of
years in a city and has amassed a
competence finds himself yearn-
ing for communion with country
scenes. When this exodus from
the farm began, students of polit-
ico-economic subjects raked their
brains for a logical deduction as
to the probable result. Time has
brought the solution. The cities
we're, in the main, builded by men
who we're born in the country
who began life on the farm or in
the crossroads grocery. These
particularly, + the men who are
going back to the farm. Not for
the purpose of farming themselves,
but to have a country home, away
from the din and dirt of the city.
The electric railway, the develop
ment and extension of the tele-
phone service, the rural free de-
livery and other things that have
convenienced living away from the
business centres r responsible.
The return of the city man to the
country has enhanced the price of
farm property and materially add
ed to the tax duplicate. Back to
the soil. It'sag good old slogan

MORE RACE TROUBLES.
Tenn lessee Miners Object to Company En-

AS o result of the determination

and an attack is expected at any
moment. Sheriff Huddleston, of
Campbell county, reached the
scene tonight and he is summon

tect the negroes.
The trouble which has been
brewing for several months broke
out Saturday when $50 miners

there. They marched the negroes
all day Saturday, allowing the

Editor Assaulted,

Editor E. H. Morris, who is also
postmaster at Mocksville, was as
saulted by ex-Policeman W. j.
Wilson, Thursday, and the two
engaged in a fierce struggle. The
editor postmaster is a cripple and
was handicapped, but it seems
that he held his own. Wilson
struck him with a cane, and
Morris wrenched it from him and
did some striking himself. The
trouble is laid to a piece in the
Davie Record in which "Citizen"
cIiticises the town authorities
Off allowing Wilson to parade the
streets while intoxicated, without
%arresting him. From various
comments in the Record covering
a long period it would seem that
there has been friction for quite
awhile for some reason, The edi-
tor, it is said, will sue the town
for not abating the nuisance which
he charges Wilson is. He has re-
tanned Cyrus Watson to appear
for him and will ask for five or
ten thousand dollars damages
from the town of Mocksville.-
